The LohrviIIe News.

startled our citizens last Saturday NOR
ming, as they were sitting down to
breakfast. It was found to be at the

a defective flue. Prompt assistance
stopped the blaze before any serious
damage was done. The loss is about
$35, fully insured.

Professor Smith, of State Uni
versity, Advocates Forbidding
intercollegiate Football
BRUTALITY RESULT, NOT CAUSE
The Argument is Put Forth That by
Keeping Foot aBll as a Means Of
Physical Development, Within the
University, Every Evil That Is Now
Decried Will Disappear.
,peciaf to Times Republican,

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Dec. Eff we forbid in
tercollegiate foot ball entirely, and keep
foot ball as a means of physical de-
velopment for our class teams, within
the university, every evil that is now
decried will disappear Such Is the
conclusion Of Professor "A. G. Smith,
chairman Of the eligibility committee,
and ex-president Of the western con-
ference. The whole evil in the game
today lies in the spirit with which the
university faculties, alumni and stu
dents regard it. The desire to win at
any cost; the demand made of the
coach that he produce winning team
or go; the counting Of that season
successful which shows the greatest
number Of victories, irrespective of the
honest effort of the men engaged IN
the game, are but evidences of that
spirit.
Brutality is not cause but a re-
suit No amount of legislation will ev-
err be able to correct it. Only that
which changes the spirit with which
we regard the game, can hope to wipe
out the numberless petty evils that
loom so large in the public press.
Theoretically we are building up the
men who play the game, physically.
That is the object of foot ball as 1t Is
of any sport. But practically we
are developing teams in an attempt to
defeat Minnesota or Chicago or some
other conference team. Under sys-
tenn where foot ball Is confined to class
teams, who play among themselves,
brutality would disappear. No class
would permit the bully or the brute to
remain in the game.
yet under our present system the
desire to win encourages that very
man. The entire moral tone of the un-
iversity has been lowered by his act.
The abolition Of the intercollegiate
contests will not do away with the In
1uries. Accidents will accompany ev-
ery sport But 1t will do away with
conscious injury to an opponent which
is aided and abetted by the UNDER
graduates on the side lines. do not
claim that the remedy proposed is the
only one. but l know that 1t is the on
~ sure one proposed. 1t would effect
ually put an end to PROSECUTING ana
grating, for there would be neither
the occasion for the one, nor the OPP
portunity for the other"

JUDGMENT OF $500
Michael earthe,l, Of Waukon, Granted
Counter Claim in Case Which Ger
tain Company Brought Against Him
to Enforce Payment Of $1,000 Claim
AGAINST His Brother.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City. Dec. 12-Michael Bart
hell of Waukon, was given judg-
ment for 5000 in the case which the
warfield- Pratt Howell Co. brought
against him, to enforce the payment Of
a $4,000 claim against John Barthell,
Of Inwood, which claim Michael
Barthell had guaranteed Michael
Rarthells defense was that duress had
been used to induce him to sign the
guarantee-that the Wartield-Pratt-
Howell Co. had told him it would
criminally prosecute his brother and
send him to the penitentiary If Mich
ael Barthell should refuse to make
good the claim. Michael Barthell also
alleged that the company or one of Its
agents had changed the guarantee to
show that the claim was payable at
Sioux City rather than at Waukon,
and that thus he had been put to the
expense Of defending the suit at Sioux
City rather than at Waukon. On this
ground he filed a counter claim for
$500, and it was that which was al
lowed. William S. Hart, member of
the legislature from Allamakee county,
has been assisting p. A. Sawyer in
Hshting Barthelps case for him.

Des Moines, Dec. IL. = Treasurer
Murrow LIZ mystified by the repentance
of a Des Moines tax dodser, substat1-
tial evidence OF his repentance being a
letter containing two 500 bills.
A brief note signed .Des Moines
Citizen" and telling Mr.. Murrow that
the money was due on back taxes, was
the only explanation.
There was nothing whatever to
show from whom the mysterious taxes
came. 1t was thought at first that the
same man of mystery who Saturday
sent Mrs Victoria Dubois $40, which
he claimed he once borrowed from her
husband, had determined to get square
with his conscience. But comparison
Of the handwritings showed that the
senders were not the same.
"This man will get credit in heaven
for this, but until learn his name, if
/ ever do, don't see what credit /
can give him." said Mr.. Mutrow.

Special to rimes-Republican.

Special to IL.
Sabula, Dec 12.--Great apprehen-
sion is felt here today over the safety
waukee is building across the Mississ-
ippi river at this point. An ice gorge
has formed in the river at Bellevue, fif-
teen miles above Sabula, and the water
has risen seven feet and is still going
higher. AT the bridge here the ice
has been carried against the bridge
until it is piled fifteen feet above the
water level. Already 1T has moved the
false work eighteen inches. The pres
sure is tremendous and while trains
are still being taken across, the utmost
caution is being used, and they creep
over the structure at a snail's pace.
Should the ice gorge go out at Belle
vue, and the tremendous head of watt
err come rushing down, it is believed
nothing could save the new bridge. A
all summer and fail on the new bridge
which is to replace the old. The new
bridge is of steel three times as heavy
as the old, and was built to accommo-
date the increased traffic and with a
view to the future needs of the road.
which it is said will be double tracked
from Chicago to Council Bluffs soon.
A close watch is being kept on the
situation at Bellevue and preparation
made to avert loss of life in case the
bridge here is carried down. The struc-
ture, 1T is said, will cost the company
half million dollars.
