THE FOOTBALL HARVEST.
This Years Gridiron Victims Nnm-
Der 1O-A ..ist of Dead.

, ear Victims Gm-
Der 1O-A aist of Dead.
Ten deaths from injuries received
on the gridron is the football harvest
to date. Besides the deaths and the
fatally injured there is hardly team
in the country which can boast eleven
perfectly sound men.
Fifty-nine recorded deaths is the list
OF football fatalities so far for the
twentieth century. Exclusive of the
present season. $50 wearers of the
moleskin have received injuries on the
field, more Or less severe The fatal
tiles recorded are those that occurred
during the season, but in many in
stances death has followed after
months of suffering from injuries.
The death list for 1905. with the
hard matches yet to come, is as fol-
lows, in each instance the victims be-
ing members of high school or small
college teams:
Bryant, James Edward, member
Canon City, Col, high school team;
killed in game with Florence, Col, high
school Oct. 10.
Decker, Miss Bernadotte. Is years of
age; killed in girls football game at
Cumberland, Nd, Nov. 2.
Dondero, John c., Jewett City, Conn;
killed in game with Willimatic, Oct. %.
Knight. Horatio T., member of 1905
team at Phillips Exeter Academy; died
Nov. 9 from meningitis, superinduced by
injuries sustained in a game in the in
terclass series, Nov. 4.
Norgaard, Herman G., member Coun-
Gil Bluffs, Iowa, high school team; died
Nov. 10 from injuries to the brain re-
ceived in a game at Harlan, Iowa,
Oct. 26
Squires, James, Alton, ILL.,, high school
team; died Nov. from injuries received
in a game with East st. Louis high
school Oct. q.
Summergill, John S., Franklin Col
lege, Chester, Pa; kicked in stomach
during football game Oct. 8, and died
soon afterward.
Van Bokkalen, Clarence, II years old;
member Santa Clara. Cal, high school
team; killed Nov. in game with San
Jose high school that was remarkable
for its brutality; several other players
were seriously injured.
Wise, Leslie; killed in school game at
Milwaukee, Oct. %.
Wise, Vernon, Oak Park, ILL.,; died two
hours after receiving injuries in q game
between Oak Park high school and the
second team of Hyde Park high school
Nov. 3.
In nearly every instance the deaths
have led to the abandonment of foot
ball by the high schools and smaller
colleges to which the ten victims be-
longed, and movement has started
for a modification of the rules for use
in the secondary schools where the
youth of the teams makes the college
game too strong a tax on immature
bodies and unseasOned muscles.

n. C. DOUGHERTY. on each OF the five
counts, the same to be concurrent.
Doughe-ty's action was unexpected,
he having pleaded not guilty to the
same charges. But the refusal OF
Judge Worthington to quash the in
dictments against him and the fact
that the grand jury was in session
ready to return others that would be
free of any of the errors charged in
the first so frightened the coils around
the prisoner that he could see no way
out He therefore threw himself upon
the mercy of the court.
This marks the closing scenes of the
most astounding school fund robbery
ever brought to public notice. For
twenty-five years Newton G. Dousher-
ty as city superintendent and for near
ly twenty years as secretary of the
board, had almost absolute control Of
the school funds. He issued scrip and
handled notes and checks as if they
were his own property. AS president
of the Peoria National Bank he was
enabled to cover up his populations in
such good shape that from June 80.
1904, to June 80, 1905, the school fund
shortage amounted to $4,000. While
not all of the books of the board have
yet been examined by a special audit
ing committee now at work, it US cur
rently believed that the aggregate
amount of money taken will reach
$1,OOOOOO.
Various methods were taken to COW
er up the stealings. Bills were made
out to fictitious persons and cashed by
herty. School teachers and cashed
Dougherty. School teachers long dead
or removed We're still carried or the
rolls Some of the teachers were car
ried under two or three names. Sup
plies enough for the schools of Chi
cago We're paid for by the board and
Dougherty got the money.
And now the man who was cOnsid-
cred the brightest school superintend-
ent in the country the trusted friend
of college presidents and of school
men high up. of church men of all

POSTAL DEPARTMENT NEEDS.
Estimates Are Now Com pleted for
Year Ending June 30, 1907.


Year Ending June 30, 1907.
Postmaster General Cortelyou re-
Gently completed and forwarded to the
Secretary of the Treasury the esti-
mates for the POstOffice Department
for the fiscal year ending June 60
1907. They show a reduction of eX-
penses wherever it is believed it will
not impair the service, but provision
for development of postal facilities to
meet the growing needs of all sections
of the country. The amount asked for
salaries in the department is $1,461,-
25O, an apparent increase of SCI 800
over the current appropriation, but as
$5S,3OO of this is simply a transfer
from other appropriations the net in
crease is only $1,000 The estimate
submitted for next year is $4,000 less
than the estimate submitted one year
ago. The clerical force of the depart
ment, therefore, will remain practical
ly as it now is during the next fiscal
year.
Estimates for the postal service at
large-the field service - aggregate
S1a3, 100000, an increase over last
years appropriation of about $4,000
600. This increase represents the nor
NAL growth Of the service based upon
what the postal authorities regard as
the most careful and conservative esti-
mates. Each succeeding year sees a
large increase in the business of the
department. The principal items in
the increase are the rural delivery SER
vice, railway mail service, compensa-
ton to postmasters and their clerks
and the compensation of letter carri-
ers.
For the maintenance Of the rural de-
livery service and it's proper extension
over $29,OOO,OOO will be required. This
is an increase of $3,6OO,O00 over the ap.
preparation for the current year, which
in turn is over 100000 more than
that of last year, so that the present
estimate is $1,4OO,OOO less than the in
crease of the present over the preced-
ing year.
The estimates for the railway mail
service and railway mail transportation
call for an increase of about $3,6OO,OOO
over the current appropriation.
To provide for the compensation Of
postmasters and clerks in postoffices
an increase of nearly 100000 will be
necessary for the coming years, and
for the compensation of city letter car
riers an increase of more than 100000
will be needed, which is S146,OOO less
than the increase of the appropriation
for the present year over that for the
preceding year.
That the extension Of the pneumatic
tube service is contemplated is shown
by the fact that the estimate carries
$322,OC0 more than the current appro-
priation.
The deficit for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1905, was $14,572,5S4. eff re-
cent calculations are as accurate as
they have been frequently in the past"
says the Postmaster General, ''they
afford good reason for believing that
the deficit for the year ending June 80,
1906, will be considerably less. 1t is
an interesting fact that the total reve-
nue. for the fiscal year 1905 exceeded
the total expenditures for the fiscal
year 1904 by nearly $5OO,OOO."

fad of the "Vegetarians and their be-

"Vegetarian." vBut," said DR.. Smith,

vegetables and fruit" said she, vthen
I drink milk, have eggs for breakfast,
besides at other meals I eat butter,
pudding, cheese and cake, and tell ev-
cry one they ought to do as do, feel
so much BETTER" The doctor looked
astonished. Wand you call that vege-
tartan? My dear young woman don't
you know that butter, eggs and milk
are animal foods? Then, too, it is q
mistake to urge others to follow you.
What is good for yoat may not be good
for others. The Esquimo of the Arctic
regions couldn't support life on vege-
table diet. Some animal food is neces-
sary to keep heat in his body. On the
other hand, besides the individual pc
culiarities and the climate, the condi.
