ABOUT THE PAST.
A Scrap of History in Touch With this
Afternoons Football Game.

Displayed conspicuously on
the bulletin board at the college is
a group picture of the 1897 football
team, which is to give battle this
afternoon in the alumni game on
OAC. With the group is mum.
Der of scores made during its last
season of playing by the champion
team. Among them are, McMinn-
vile Colleg, o; OAC, So; Albany
College, o; OAC, 40; University Of
Washington, o; OAC, IS; Univer-
sity of Oregon, 8. OAC, 26., In the
McMinnville game, Scoggins made
a touchdown on the kickoff. An
other player received the ball and
mufed it, about the five yard line.
Scoggins picked it up and dashed
towards the enemy's goal. 1o5 yards
away. The McMinnville nien
swarmed about him and made des-
perate efforts to down the agile
little half back, but he wriggled,
plunged, side-stepped and squirm-
ed his way through the whole
bunch, and never stopped until he
had planted the pigskin across the
line for touchdown. The play
was sensational in the extreme,
and sent the sideliners into spasms
Of delight.
Of all the games played by the
famous team that with the Univer-
sity of Washington was the greatest
The teams were not unevenly
matched, and up to nearly the close
of the first half no touchdown had
been made. The ball had been
passing back and forth with honofs
fairly even, until finally OAC got
it and started down the field with
fierce line bucks. using halves. full
back and tackles with powerful ef-
feet. Steadily backward they
pus he'd the Washington men until
few minutes before the end Of
the halt, when they crossed the
line for touchdown. A great
crowd of people watched the game,
and the scene that followed was
one of pandemonium. Two touch
downs were made in the last half,
and the final score was I6 to o, in
favor of OAC.

ROBBED THE GRAVE.
Of Albany Girls not Known What
the Ghoul Wanted.

Miss May Pierce, daughter of a
former Albany minister, died and
was buried last week at Boise,
Idaho. The next morning the
sexton discovered the grave had
been tampered with. 1t was found
the casket had been opened and the
body stripped. Part Of the cloth.
ing had been carried off and part
was in the casket and the lid of the
box was thrown on upside down.
A braid of the giIls hair was
hanging outside the box. A watch
was kept for several nights on the
supposition that the ghoul would
return to complete his work. The
parents went out with the under
taker and redressed the body.

of Benton county met his death
while acting as brakeman on a
train near Los Angeles, a few days
ago. He was Merl Jackson, who
was born and reared near Monroe,
where many relatives now reside.
Mr.. Jackson was about 20 years
Of age, and the trip was the first
that he had made after beiug TAX
en- ON as regular employe of the
road. In some manner he fell be-
tween the cars, and lived but 20
minutes after the accident. Many
friends in this vicinity will regret
the news. Interment was at Los
Angeles.
They are his parents. They
are aged. They are suing him now.
In 1900, they transferred farm to
him. 1t was all they had. A
condition of the transfer was that
he should thereafter support and
care for them. Until last July, the
son paid proper attention to the old
folks, then he ceased to do so.
Their land was gone, and they
were without income. They were
obliged to go to other relatives for
shelter, The suit is in the Albany
courts, and they are endeavoring to
force him and his wife to deed the
property back to them. The above
facts are set out in the complaint.
1t is the old story of helpless old
age, and the ingratitude of man.
When children forget and forsake
parents, what is the drift of the
world, and what hope in civiliza-
ton?

lican this morning for a statement con
corning the plans for building the road.
NOW that the contract with j. G. White
* Co. has been closed. Mr.. Ferrln
said:
The idea of building railway from
-Alarshalltown north thru Grundy, But
Ter and Floyd counties is one that has
been under consideration for many
years. Several attempts have been
made TO secure the construction or
such n road. but nothing definite mas
ever been accomplished until the pres
ent time. Active work has been going
on in securing right -of-way ana fran
chises for some months. and with this
work the public is perfectly familiar
During my recent trip to the east 4
made a thorough investigation of the
conditions surrounding the construc-
ton of roads similar to this one and
finally secured a proposition from ]. G.
White & Co. that renders it possible to
construct the road the present year.
The conditions surrounding this
proposition are not at all favorable.
The population is very much below
that which is usually estimated VIII
support AN interurban railway. We
have believed that the handling of
freight would offset this lack OF popu-
lation. but when we study the history
of interurban railways we find that but
enc rond in the United States has made
anything like AN adequate success IN
handling freight We find that there
is absolutely no data from which to 90
innate the earnings that may be de-
rived from that source.
These conditions have made it inn
possible to procure the entire sum OF
money from eastern capitalists with
which to construct the road. They say
that they are perfectly willing to join
in the construction of the road. but
that local people will be directly bene-
fitted by the operation of the road and
must take n responsible equity in the
stock of the company. 1t is unon this
basis that the contract has been made
with j. G.. White & Co. The exact
amount of equity which will he re-
survey has been made. and the actual
cost of the road ascertained We know.
however. that it a reasonable equity
is retained in the property by the citi-
zens of the community thru which It
passes. the balance of the money can
he secured from the trust companies of
New York and that road can he con-
structei.
Thus far the expense of carrying
on the promotion OF this enterprise has
been paid by business men of MARSHALL
town comprising the company. 1t
will be necessary. however, for the reo-
pie in general to subscribe for the
stock OF the company in securing this
equity. and in due time definite propo-
sition of the company will be made to
the public No portion of these sub
scriptions to the stock of the company
viii be required to be paid until the
road is completed. and in operation:
hence those purchasing this stock will
get exactly what they pay for before
they have to pay for 1t.
ut does not seem to me that 1t would
be possible to have a fairer proposition
placed before the public than the one
that we are now making. and cer-
tainiy trust that 1t will be received in
the same spirit in which 1t is present.

build an interurban railway north from
