HERE is nothing the matter with football. The trouble is,
IN the first place, with the men who coach it, and in the
second place with the men who play it. The game itself is one
OF the hnest sports ever devised for the pastimc OF youth. and
the pleasure Of the public. Ii has in it all the clements which
appeal TO the young nen-.lle contest Of brain and muscle
Tor the public, it has the outdoor feature and the spectacular
element IN more or less degree. 1t is true that the game
has taken on in later years much unnecessary r~oughntss,
foul play, holding, etc. but the game OUGHT to be sawed. md

tute an offense, which the court de-
MED Counsel then made very able
argument, and that it had some i'm
preston on the minds of the jurors
is evidenced by the fact that the
twelve good men and true took about
five hours debating 1t.
Peltier is jolly sort of chap and
at one time was an engineer in the
employ of the Burlington road, going
there about the time of the strike in
1888. He made several fast runs over
the track from Omaha to Lincoln and
carries passes galore showing his
former connection. He seemed to take
his situation very kindly.
The result of his trial is not very
pleasing to the Tribune, which expect
ed to make a fruity story out of it
as relates to the connection of Senator
Smoot, although the manager of the
paper, who is also the attorney for
the United States, did not appear as
counsel, leaving that work to his as
sistant, Mr.. Cherrington, to whom be-
longs the credit of the conviction.
A coincidence in the case was the
presence in the city of Bitner, the man
who was taken for Peltier by Bywater
and Doles, last winter an account of
which appeared in Truth at the time.
Bywater and DOles, accompanied by
another held up Bitner and it re-
quired the united efforts of Frank
James, the clerk at the Kenyon and
others to convince the pair that Bit
ner was not the man, and even then
they were hardly satisfied.

When You Drink Tea.

1.-THE scientific justification for add
Ing milk to tea," says the Dietetic
and HYGIENE Gazette, comes from
the facts that the fannie acid con-
tanned in tea combines with the albu-
men of the milk to form tannate Of al
bumen, which is practically leather
By drinking tea alone the coating Of
he stomach is made leathery. But
when milk, which contains albumen,
Is added the molecules Of fannie acid
select their affinity of albumen from
it, and, as a divorce is unknown to
tannate of albumen, the lining of the
stomach is less liable to be affected
by the tannic acid than it would be

Peltier, the man who worked Sen
ator Smoot, l.. A. Doles, Fire Chief

representing himself as postoffice
Inspector sent here by Senator Bur
rows to work up evidence in the
Smoot case was found guilty In the
federal court Wednesday. Peltier was
defended by Judge Powers, who had a
hard case, his client not going on the
stand and the case against him, ac-
cording to the rulings of the court
and his charge 10 the jury, being an
especially clear one. Judge Powers
relied on the construction of stat
ute to clear his man and at the close
of the case for the plaintiff rested and
moved to dismiss on the ground that

:. Welghty Bishop.

Bishop Peck of the Methodist
church was large man, weighing
over $50 pounds. While on tour and
stopping at the residence of presid-
ing elder, the good bishop turned over
in his bed, and the furniture collapsed,
dropping him to the floor with tre-
mendous thud.
The presiding elder rushed upstairs,
calling: what is the matter, bishop
Is there anything can do for you?"
Nothing is the matter" answered
the bishop; "but if l don't answer the
call for breakfast tell your wife to look
for me in the cellar"

WHY THE DAILlES OPPOSE THE
FRANCHISE.

The virulent opposition of the Tri-
bune, Herald and Telegram to the
granting of new franchise to the
Utah Light and Railway company,
however righteous it may be in itself,
is something extraordinary. That
those papers would take any stand or
advocate anything for the benefit of
the people is beyond comprehension.
The sheets in question being owned
and controlled by Kearns, Clark and
the rest of the gang and used solely
as a means to further their business
enterprises, advance their personal
ambitions, political and otherwise, and
deceive and hoodwink the credulous
public, led to the strong suspicion that
there was "nigger in the wood pile"
The fact also that several members
of the city council whose reputation
as grafters is well established, I'M
questioned in fact, have also been
spectacularly against the franchise
was further and convincing proof that
there was an Interior motive. On the
surface the course of the papers and
chise was proper. The original request
of the light company for a hundred
years franchise on the conditions put
forth was so glaringly absurd that
the public almost unanimously disap-
proved of it. 1t afterwards developed
beyond reasonable doubt that the
proposed franchise was part of the
original corrupt deal of the city admin
istration for the issuance of a million
dollars in bonds for the alleged pur-
pose of extending the citys water sys-
TEN. All these things furnished am
pie reason why the people generally
should be against the franchise, but
did not explain why the syndicate pa
pers and certain members of the city
council should oppose it.
The reason for their opposition,
however, has now come to the sur
face. Senator Clark of Montana was
bidder for the Salt Lake City street
railroad about the time that A. W..
McCune sold it to the Utah Light and
Power company. Clark was very much
disappointed that he did not get the
property and he has been sore ever
since, and by way of retaliation
brought his newspapers into play to
prevent the present owners from get
ting anything from the city. The
Herald which Is Mr.. Clark's particular
organ here led the fight against the
franchise with as much vigor as that
senile sheet is capable of exercising
in any cause. The Tribune and Tele-
gram of course followed suit If
Clark should succeed in forcing the
light company to sell to him he would
doubtless apply for an extension OF
franchise. II he asked for DvU year
franchise the syndicate papers would
be as vigorous in advocating 1t as
they are now in opposing it and some
of the councilmen who are now against
granting the concession would be fall
ing over each other in their eager
ness to vote for 1t.

Dr. Allen visited Vinita, Nowata
and Claremore and found conditions
the same in all these localities.
There is no quarantine line around
the Cherokee Nation to keep out the
infection. A tribal tax OF so cents a
head is assessed on cattle brought in
to the nation. but that law presents
no safeguard against the infection
now spreading.

BULLETIN:

Portsmouth, Aug. I2. The peace
conference met at 9:s5 this morning
aud adjourned at lO:4o.
The Russian reply was delivered by
NJ Witte and the japanese took op-
portunity to examine the document.
Wltte indicated courteously that he
would expect the same expedition in
the Japanese response as had been
observed in the Russian reply and
this was readily agreed to.
The japanese ENJOYS agreed to make
their response at o'clock this after
noon or at some time tomorrow.
The Official statement regarding the
morning session was given out by
Sato The Associated Press is in a
position to state the japanese believe
the Russians have been laying the
foundation for the claim that the re-
sponsibiIity for ruture, II one comes,
win have been due to their inter-agent
attitude. They have decided, in case
Of "a break, to take steps to disapprove
any such claims.
Before the conference met it was
well understood that Wits reply up
on the two main points was firm but
courteous REFUSAL
There were open intimations that
unless the japanese modified their po-
sitions upon these points any attempt
to negotiate peace must result in a
failure aud predictions we're freely
made among the Russian correspond
ents that next week would see the
