GUARD G0ODING'S HURT
DIR. j. III. RISHMILLER SAYS 1T
COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED IN
NO WAY TO HIS FATAL ILL
NESS.

Cecil Gooding, the University of
Michigan football guard, who died of
typhoid fever at his home in Ann
Arbor Monday evening, was injured,
but not seriously in the game between
Minnesota and Michigan in this city.
DR.. j. H. Rishmiller, who attended
Gooding, says that about fifteen min
utes before the end of the game.
Gooding was ordered from the field
by Coach Yost because Of pain he was
suffering. Gooding objected strongly
70 the order, desiring to play the game
out, tho he was in great pain But
9ost was firm and Gooding had to
leave the field. DR.. Rlshmiller made
an examination and found a severe
bruise on the pelvic bone, but not
such an injury as would impair the
health and weaken one in a fight with
typhoid, thinks the doctor The in
jury could not have caused typhoid.
This view by DR.. Rishmiller is borne
out by the fact that Gooding was in
at least four other games after the
Minnesota Michigan game. These
were the games between Michigan
and the University of Ohio, Oberlin,
Wisconsin and Chicago
DR.. Rishmiller says he will write to
the family Of Mr.. Gooding giving his
views of the case as they have been
outlined above. so as to disabuse
them of the belief expressed in dis
patches that the game here in anv
way contributed to conditions, that
caused death.

VIII Strengthen Its Position in Ne

with the Burlington-Facts Which
Confirm This Theory.

That the Great Northern intends to
strengthen its position in Nebraska by
adding new connections with the Bur-
lington at certain points, and also get
ting an outlet to Denver, is becoming
evident.
The latest indication is "a confer
ence to-day between committee of
citizens from Sioux City and President

eral Freight Agent Fred Rogers, Of the
Willmar & Sioux Falls. The Sioux
CITY committee consisted of a. G.. D.
Perkins, G.. A. Knapp, John Hornick,
Matt Flynn and O. j. Moore. The
committee met Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Ward
at the Great Northern building, ST.
Paul: None Of the members would
give out any information.
1t is understood that an extension
from O'Netll southwest to a connec-
ton with the Burlington at Brewster
Neb., is under contemplation. Louis

Gently drove over this district. It was
reported then that the Great North
ern intended to build its Yankton
line south across the Missouri river
and strike the O'Neill branch at Nor
folk. This, however, would enhance
the value Of the Yankton line at the
expense of the Sioux City branch, and
the committee from the latter city
is opposed to the plan.

Soi S4 lilly ODoSlViilS lie rule winch re-
quires fire drill at least once a month.
With the advent Of cold weather the
drill becomes a burden, to principals
and teachers, inasmuch as it takes
much time for the pupils to put on
their winter wraps and clear the
building. There have also been some
protests from parents against expos
ing their children to cold unnecessary
ly. Under the circumstances, how
ever, all such protests have been over
ruled, and an exceedingly strict OBJ
servance of the f1re-drill rule will be
enforced.
Superintendent Jordan said this
morning that he had taken up this
matter with the principals several
days ago and was satisfied that a
willing compliance with the rule
would be generally in order. He did
not regard the situation in: any Of
the grade schools as at all alarming,
either as to the character of oconstruc-
ton or as to exits. At the Central
High school he did not think condi-
tons quite as good as could be de-
sired, but he believed that the best
was being done there that could be
under the circumstances. At the Cen
trail High there is no large assembly
OF students In any one place at any
one time, nor are all the students in
the building thruout school hours.
This made it impossible to have the
fire drill, but he did. not consider the
situation there of nature to cause
apprehension.

Recent reports from the university in

IN he j urnal concerning an al
legged assault upon professor by one of
the mechanical engineering students was,
to say the least exaggerated. The story
was IN circulation at the university and
appeared to be well authenticated Since
then, however, it has developed that while
there was an aggravated case Of insub-
ordination, there was nothing resembling
a resort to violence, either by the stu
dent or the instructor. The insuoordinate
student had been reprimanded by the in
structor and retorted in language which
the latter considered improper and insult
ing. The young man was thereupon or
dered out of the laboratory. The case was
later referred to the head of the depart
ment who entirely approved of the course
taken by the Instructor. It is now prob
able that the case will be referred to the
faculty for action.

TOO MANY STRIKES.
Chicago Chronicle Discusses Their
Effect on Business Conditions.

Chicago Chronicle Discusses Their
Effect on Business Conditions.
There is wide discussion just now of
the recent throwing out of employ
ment of some 5000 railway employees
and conspicuous among the attending
facts is the falling off of railway
earnings all through the spring at
the rate of about $45,000,000 an
nually, says the Chicago Chronicle.
The interdependence of all branches
of industry and commerce is shown
in tracing this condition in the rail-
way world to strikes, endless and ex-
pensive strikes, in mining and ore
handling, east and west, among the
vessel masters and pilots of the lakes,
among the freight handlers, the
truckmen, the building material men,
the iron and steel workers, and in all
sorts of industries.
1t is we'll to remember that many
times within two or three years, when
workers struck for higher wages, the
unions were warned that if they in
sisted on the increase of wages they
demanded the inevitable consequence
of any slackening of business would
be a reduction in wages. They were
told it would be better to take a 5
per cent. increase that they could
keep than to insist on 10 per cent,
which would have to be cut. They
refused good counsel and gained, in
many cases, Is or Is per cent.
Then, having exacted an inch, many
OF Inefn demanded a 1901, ana the war
went on, a continual round of IN
ceasing strikes. The inevitable conse-
quence has come. Business has fallen
off, not railway business only, but
nearly all kinds of business. The
war makers have pushed wages up to
more than the traffic will bear" and
they are reaping the harvest They
are learning, or are having the op-
portunity to learn, that men will not
continue doing business at a loss for
the benefit of those whose hostile

Lott Road Makes a Traffic Deal With

1t is stated that the Lott road,
known as the St. Louis, Brownsville

Mexican National for the construction
of a joint bridge crossing the Rio
Grande at San Miguel, which gives the
new line an entrance into Mexico.
Construction of the Monterey division

line viii be rushed to completion to

1t is also learned from a reliable
source that the st. Louis. Brownsville

rights over the tracks of the National
road on the river front at Browns
