GAMES SCHEDULED TO-DAY.

The schedule of football games for to-day is a lengthy one, and 1t will be one of the busiest Saturdays of the season. Annapolis breaks into the fray with a game with Dickinson, and several other teams tackle the new rules for the first time. among them Swarthmore and Michigan. In- teresting contests are booked for all the nearby points, New Haven, West Point, Princeton and Philadelphia.
 Although none of the bigger col leges have games which would seem at all dangerous, still because of the new rules some surprises may be sprung and some unexpected scores may be the result. The new rules have as yet to be tested in a hard game between two first-class elevens, but a good line on them should be obtained from the Holy Cross-Dart- mouth battle to-day. This contest promises to be a lively one. Yale meets Syracuse, but should not have much trouble in getting away with snug score. while Princeton will hard ly have a hard practice against Washington and Jefferson. There was nothing doing fin the scrimmage line at Princeton yesterday. but the scrub and the varsity were put through the longest and hardest drill of the season. Cooney was not out. but is expected in to-days game. Eddie Dillon will undoubtedly bc played at quarterback. The speed of the team Is tickling the coaches.
 Harvard did very little work in preparation for to-day's game with Maine. No scrimmaging was In evil dence yesterday. but the players spent the time in catching and run ming back punts. Burr. Foster and Hall were all kicking for ahout fifty five yards during the afternoon.
 Pennsylvania in a shattered eondi- ton lines up against North Carolina. and there is no telling how the game will result. The followers Of the blue and white have shaking knees. as the team already Is badly crippled from injuries and because of the action of the faculty in keeping Captain Greene.

 The mystery of the disappearance and the return of Miss Minnie Brooks of Southington was cleared up yes- terday, when she gave an account of her wanderings. She said she left home because she did not think her people wanted her. She took the car Sunday evening, went to Meri- den, where she registered at the Mer- iden house, using her sisters name. She went to South Meriden and wan- dered around for two days and nights and finally walked home, arriving home at daybreak Thursday morn- ing. Her shoes were worn and she was nearly exhausted. Her father found her in the barn after search of three days and as many nights. She was in dazed condition and weak from exposure and want. Her disappearance was due to temporary insanity.

BASE BALL NOTES.

Now for the championship series.
 Both New York teams have made money this season.
 Not nearly as much interest as if the games were to be played in the east.
 Hear that Jim" O'Rourke Is going to get a few of the players New York is going tO release.
 X series between the New York teams would attract as much atten- ton as the battle between the White Sox and Cubs.
 This is the first season in several years that all the teams in the Ma tional league have come out on the right side in regard to finances.
 Last day Of the season. This past week has been farcey in both leagues. although the race in the American league has been closely watched. Sea- son should end a week earlier.

FEAST OF THE DEAD.
One of the Queer Customs of Queer
 People.

The Esquimaux of St Michael and the lower Yukon river hold festival of the dead every year at the end of November or the beginning of Decem- ber,as well as a greater festival at intervals of several years. At these seasons food. drink and clothes are provided for the returning ghosts in the kasllim, or clubhouse, of the vil- lage, which is illuminated with oil lamps. Every man or woman who wishes to honor a dead friend sets up a lamp on stand in front of the place which the deceased used to oc- cupy in the clubhouse. These lamps, filled with seal oil. are kept burning day and night till the festival is over. They are believed to light the shades on their return to their old home and back again to the land of the dead. If any one fails to put up a lamp In the clubhouse and to keep it burning the shade whom he or she desires to honor could not find its way to the place. and so would miss the feast On the eve of the festival the nearest male relative goes to the grave and summons the ghost by planting there small model of a seal spear or of wooden dish. according as the de- ceased was a man or woman. The to- tems of the dead are marked on these implements
 When all Is ready the ghosts gath CT in the fire pit under the clubhouse. and ascending through the floor nt tie proper moment. take possession of the bodies of the namcsakes. to whom the offering of food. drink and clothing are made for the benefit of the dead. Thus each shade obtains the supplies he needs In the other world. The dead who have none to make offerings to them are believed to suffer great des. titution. Hence the E<qulmaux fear to die without leaving behind them some one who will sacrifice fo fheff spirits and childiess people generally adopt children lest their shades be forgotten at the festivals.
 When a person has been much dis liks-l his ghost is sometimes purpose ly ignored. and that Is deemed the se- ver.St punishment that could be tn- fiicfed upon him. After the songs of invitation to the dead have been sung the givers of the feast take a small portion of food from every dish ard cast it down as an offering to tfla shades. then each pour a little water on the flvsr so that 1t runs through the cracks. Tn this way they believe that the spiritual e<seFsre of all food aDI water Is conveyed to the souls.
 The remainder of the food Is after- warl distributed among the people present. who eat of it heartily.

AVERAGE YIELD ABOUT Il BUSHELS
To the Acre Is Estimate of Local Men
on North Dakota's Wheat Crop.

Eleven bushels to the acre for the
state of North Dakota is the average
yield that has been estimated for the
present wheat crop that is being trans
ferred from the shock to the granaries
and elevators. This is the estimate
that has been placed upon the crop
by machinery dealers of this city who
have been in touch with the crop con-
ditions throughout this section ever
since the first head appeared and till
the fields had turned golden and were
cut and threshed.
The estimate of some that term
themselves experts which was made
just as the harvesting started were far
above this figure, but there have been
developments since that time that have
figured materially in the condition of
affairs. 1t was too high in the first
place, which with the rust which was
followed by the extreme heat which
shrunk much of the late grain, made
material difference in the yield.
In conversation with one of the
prominent machinery dealer of this
city who covers the entirt state in
supplying his line of goods. and who
has just returned from an extended
tour over the northwestern portion of
the state, he gave out the statement
it was the general opinion wherever
he had been that the entire crop would
not exceed that average. People from
many p2rts of the state who have been
here recently state that although there
were many sections where the Weld
would be over twenty bushels to the

STEAL $3.50 FROM THEIR EMPLOYER
Bold Highway Robbery Committed
Near Fessenden by Two Men,.

After spending the day in Fessen-
den, John Wohl, a we'll known farmer
living southwest of Sykeston, was,
slugged by two men whom he had
hired there and was taking home to
work. Wohl was knocked senseless
with blow from full beer bottle
and was robbed of $3.50.
Wohl drove to the county seat in
Il buggy upon business. He had about
$50 upon his person when he reached
there and during the day had collect
ed 5000 from some one who owed him.
He was seeking men to work by the
month to do fall blowing. Before
leaving he hired two fellows whom he.
met in the billiard halls or Joints,
They had Il few drinks together before
starting home and likely the men were
wise" to the fact that he had the
money upon him before they hired

and when within about a mile of the
farm of Hampton Lyness the men
turned upon Mr.. Wohl, striking him
over the head with full bottle of
beer which they had taken along with
them. Mr.. Wohl was stunned by the
blow. losing his senses for a few
minutes. and upon coming to he dis
covered that the men had taken the
money and skipped. He was still in
dazed condition when he reached the
Lyness farm where he was cared for.

A great deal of interest is manifest

We're to be seen about the city all day
talking over the struggle at the polls
and forecasting the outcome. The
fact that the successful republican
candidates tomorrow are almost GER
tain of the Office for which they are
running makes the interest all the
more intense.
The greatest interest centers in the
fight for state representative and the
talk about the city is mostly regard
ing the chances of one or another Of
the candidates for this Office.
The fact that there is no old candi-

but that the voters must choose from
entirely new material makes the fight
unique in this particular.
