Death Of J.P. E. winkler.

Lied, at his home on South street,
Saturday morning, Nov. II, 1904,
]. F. E Wlnkler, aged 10 years. Mr..
Winkler had been in declining health
for several months, and about three
weeks ago suffered a slight stroke OF
paralysis. From this he seemed to
recover perfectly but his general
health continued to grow worse. He
had been confined to his bed only
about a week.
Mr.. Winkler was born in Knautt-
Kleeberg, Saxony, in September 1925.
He came to this country at the age
Of 26 years, hftY.three years ago, and
lived ln New York two years before
coming to Lexington. he was mar
rled April u, 1858, to Miss Henrietta
Kriehn. who survives him. To this
union we're born eight children, six
OF whom are living: Mrs Jacob
Fegert, Mayor Oswald Winkler,
Albert Winkler, Mrs. A. W. Sandring
and Misses Mary and Rose Winkler.
In addition, Mr.. WinKler leaves a
brother, Henry Winkler, Of this city,
and a sister, Mrs. Wallenberg OF
Germany.
y Mr.. Winkler was a cabinet work
man in early life, Nearly forty years
ago he established the factory at the
corner Of South and 18th Streets. In
1888 the Winkler Furniture Company
was Incorporated and the factory
enlarged. This concern has grown
into one Of the most important and
creditable Of the institutions Of
Lexington.
A long, useful, honorable life has
closed, a life which illustrated the
sturdy virtues of industry, integrity,
and the religious spirit. Mr.. Winklei
was faithful to his work, to his home,
to his church and to the public. His
ocupation was more than half an art
and he devoted himself to his work
as actively during the last ear Of hi,
life as be did forty years ago.

Kempers goal by disastrous tumble.
Kemper again kicked out Of danger
and obtaining possession Of the ball by
means of a fluke on a long run scored
their third touchdown. Kemper
again kicked of to Wentworth. The
Academy team then took the ball and
began its steady march toward the
Kemper goal line only to lose it on
downs after questionable decision
by the referee. Here occurred the
most dlscouraging play Of the entire
game. A Kemper back broke through
the line and eluding the Wentworth
quarter ran 40 yards for their last
touchdown, making the score 23.6 in
favor Of Kemper. Kemper again
kicked OFF to Wentworth and here the
Lexington cadets again showed their
wonderful movelne-''hurTy-up''
offensive work. They carried the
ball across the entire field and over
the Kemper goal line making the
final score 23-ll. 1t was now getting
dark and the Kemper team were
continuously taking out time fol
injuries so the referee called the game
with still eight minutes to play.
1t was a remarkable game In that
Wentworth carried the ball almost
twice the distance Kemper carried II
and yet, Wentworth, acknowledged tC
be faster aud stronger than Kemper
was defeated, 1t was simply game
in which two fumbles at critical
points turned victory into defeat. Yet
W. NJ. A. is not grumbling. The1

remarkably good team for a "prep'
school. Seldom has any game dis

spirit than that displayed by thesC

The Wentworlh.kemper uame

In game replete with sensational
and spectacular plays the Wentworth
team went down to defeat before the
team from Kemper Military School
Monday The game was PLAYED at
Marshall before crowd Of 1000 ex-
tremely partisan rOoters. Each school
had brought their entire corps OF
cadets, including band, upon a
special train and each school upon its
arrival at Marshall marched around
the town following their band and
giving vent to a score Of yells and
Asongs. Seldom has any town wit
messed such a tremendous foot ball
ovation.
The teams we're very evenly
matched. The Kemper team OUT
weighed W. M. A. eight pounds to
the man, but W. M. A. played a
much faster game and displayed
much better formations.
Capt. Bunting won the toss, and at
exactly O'Clock Kemper kicked of
to w. M. A. The ball was returned
10 yards. w. M. A. retaining pos
session Of the ball began rushing it
down the field by series Of whirl-
wind plays of tackle and around
the end. Kemper was powerless
to stop these rusheS and W. N. A.
soon scored the first touchdown by a
smart of tackle, Van Ginkel going
over the line. Bunting kicked an
easy goal, Score, too.
The ball was again kicked off and
w. NJ. A. began the same whirlwind
tactics and brought the ball again
within 3 feet OF the Kemper goal
when a tumble lost the BALL Kemper
then kicked out OF danger. Up to
this time everybody, even the
Kemper enthusiasts, admitted that
w. NJ A. had the game. Kemper
was enabled to score a touchdown
before the end OF the half on account

WALL STREET REVIEW
AVERAGE LEVEL OF PRICES LIFTED
 FURTHER.
Movement Showed Variety and Irregulari- ty, Upward Course Being Uneven and Interspersed With Oc-
 casional Reactions.

NEW YORK. Sept 27.--Another day of broad and active demand for stocks was experienced today. lifting still further the average level of prices. The movement showed some variety and irregularity. the upward movement being uneven and inter- spersed with occasional small reactions. The advocates of higher prices enjoyed another day of almost complete immunity from disturtbing factors In the days news. Weather was favorable for ripening tho fast maturing crops and thet weekly bull letin of the weather bureau contained much to reassure the apprehension over both the corn and cotton crops. The. repetition of Hill of the Great Northern seemed to be ignored and sharp advance in Northern Securities on the curb on buying said to be for London account was one of the features of the day. The buying of United States Steel preferred was accompanied by the publication of estimates of the earnings of the corporation for the current quarter showing a sufficient margin to provide for the preferred stock. These estimates were without any official or designated authority. There were some rather conspicuous excep- tions to the general advance tendency made the more so by notable strength which has characterized them recently. At- chison was a marked example, it's move- ment being narrow throughout. The stated need for additional capital In the annual report came in for much discussion. The August statement of net earnings was also disappointing. On the other hand the Au- gust statements of the Chesapeake and Ohio. the Central of Georgia and the st. Louis Southwestern were considered highly satisfactory and the less satisfactory showing by the Central of New Jersey did not depress that stock. The railroads con tinue to report increased gross earnings for the third week in September. Rumors of strong forthcoming statement of August net earnings by the Pennsylvania also fig ured in the days market. Cotton oil suf- fered from intimations that the common dividend would be passed. There were re- actions running to a point in some of the leaders before the day ended and the close was heavy. Sterling exchange advanced, although the prospect is for easier money in London and cotton bills are quite plenti- full in the exchange market. London also bought stocks freely on balance here to- day. Money was distinctly easier in this market in spite of the continued heavy out flow to the interior. The strength of ster- ling is believed to be due to a demand on account of maturing ninety-day loans against which exchange bills were sold at the time they were made
 Bonds were firm. Total sales (par value) s5.335.ooo. United States ss advanced t and the new As declined h per cent. on call
