LIBERAL, SAYS he
Wells Recommendations for
State Institutions
Aggregate Over Two Million and
Half Dollars.


Appropriations aggregatfng $2,74S.S7O
for the state Charitable and penal insti-
tutions will be recommended to the leg
islature in the forthcoming report of
State Auditor Seth G. Wells, ac-
cording to statement made public to-
day by James Nation, assistant state
auditor
The recommendations are liberal to
the various institutions, but cover
items which are considered essential to
the management of those institutions.
Mr.. Wells said In speaking of his esti-
mates:
The state is in a very prosperous
condition, and I believe in being liberal
with our state institutions Everybody
knows that some of the institutions
have not always received what they
should, and while 1t is of course i'm
possible to give every institution what
it wants, l believe that the legislature
can afford to deal generously with the
institutions
No extensive enlargement of the state
hospitals is recommended by Mr.. Wells
Suca an enlargement was not specif1cal-
~ asked for by the state board of con-
troll, the board preferring to check the
matter UP to the Legislature, and Mr.
Wells has followed the same plan.
The list of recommendations made by
Mr.. Wells follows:

turning punts and running the ends he
was the best ground-gainer for the
game and at the end of the game got
away on a As yard run. Plat and
Johnston at the tackle positions played
great ball. In hitting the Sooner line
they could be generally relied upon for
from to 10 yards. On the defensive
Millice had much to do with the show
ing of the Washburn team. The
blonde lad outpunted his rival by a
great margin and his punts gained
much ground for Washburn. His punts
averaged 40 yards while those of Cross,
the Oklahoma punter, averaged but 81
Washburn relied upon the forward
pass for gains when they had the ball
close to the enemy's goal line. In
nearly every instance the play netted
good gains. Out of six times the play
was called into use it brought about
good gains in all but two instances
when it fell on the ground and went
to the enemy. Hope and his quarter
back kicks which are usually good
gamers for Washburn were failures
owing to the fact that the ends
could not get down the field to receive
them Oklahoma tried nothing but
straight football.
Neither team is at all jubilant at the
result of the game. Oklahoma feels
that if the field had been in better
shape on account of their superior
weight they should have won, while
Washburn insists that on good field
the Blue would have no trouble in de-
feating the Sooners.
Both teams made the sa me number

but both went wild. Williams missed
one about a foot and Waggoner missed
his by greater margin. On the whole
it was a great game and neither side
can claim superiority over the other on
the showing which was made in the
game.
Story of the Game.
Captain Williams won the toss and
chose to defend the east goal. Cross

ball 20 yards. White and Williams

no reason for resigning, bat asked that

FRIDAY EVENING. JAN. 70, 1906

SINCE LAST Monday newspaper men
in Alexandria have been kept busy dn-
swering questions concerning the mys-
FERROUS murder which has, so far, baEied
the skill of the authorities. There Is
absolutely nothing new concerning the
affair, nor is there the slightest clue
upon which to work. The fact that
welI-known young man was some lime
after g O'Clock on the morning OF the
24th of last December butchered and
his mutilated body thrown in one OF
the city docks is about all that the po-
lice seem TO know. The identity OF the
murderer or murderers has not been as
certained, nor has the theatre OF the
crime been located or any of the details
learned. This is not the first horror
brought to light in Alexandria IN late
years. while there have been murderous
assaults, two recently in public houses
in the western section of the city. In
one case, although a number OF men
were in the saloon at the time, the as
ssssin was never identified. or if known,
was never brought to justice. That the
e,ty is infested with men capable of COM
uniting such crimes is calculated to
cause uneasiness, and in place like
Alexandria, with but small floating
population. il would seem that susPIc-
ious characters should be more gener-
ally known and be under the espionage
ef those whose duty it is to protect life
and property.
