Special to The Evening Journal.
NEwAK. Sept. 2s.-Delaware hard at
work.
Both Varsity and Scrub teams again put
in a hard days work yesterday. The
squad is stiil increasing and five new
mon were out making about thirty-five in
the squad. Delaware stock took a decided
brace yesterday afternoon when just be-
fore practice started Voss. the big left
tackle for three years back trotted en-
the field in togs all ready for a scrim-
make. He has been summering in the
west and was not expected home before
the middle of next week at the earliest
He is Weighing about 1so pounds and is in
splendid physical condition.
After a little practice at handling
kicks both squads were turned on the
tacxling dummy and the way they drop
ped him was great pleasure to the stu
dent body. After this the men were given
a short signal practice lined up. The Var
sity kicked off to the scrub who after
thirty minutes pounding the line and trek
plays had advanced the ball but seven
yards. The Varsity was then given the
bah and rushed the scrub line before
them like so much paper Twenty points
were scored in about fifteen minutes and
a goal was kicked from the last touch
down scored by Voss He will be depend
ed upon again this year to do the kick
ing and it is safe to say it will be well
looked af.er For the Varsity Kelly at
full, Wyatt at end and Baldwin and Tay-
lor. were the principal ground gamers.
Josephs was in at quarter and ran the
plays well Stine showed up strong on
the defense. Several times he and Fapper-
man were through and downed the rum
ner in his tracks
For the scrub Robin, Corkran, Brice ard
Ellison showed up to an advantage. Bell
also made some fine tackles.
Captain Messick was out in togs and got
in his first scrimmage OF the season. He
seemed to infuse new life into the team
for as good as the work was on wednes-
day. it was twenty-five per cent. better
yesterday.
Enthusiasm is running high among the
students and a meeting was he'd after
chapel yesterday to talk over the game.

ceived with cheers. c. B. shaffer, 'O7 was

ALLENDER CASE
IS DISMISSED

Judge Cochran IN City Court this
morning handed down a decision IN
the case OF the city VS.. Franklin AL
lender, charged with erecting fence
IN the bed of Twelfth street near
Kirkwood The charge was dismissed
IN the following language
"The ordinance says that before any
one shall erect a fence on any public
street OF highway he shall apply TO one
of the regulators or surveyors and take
his direction where to set said fence,
and set the same accordingly. and for
refusing or neglecting so to do he shall
be subject to the penalty named In the
ordinance. The evidence I'm this case
Is that Allender did apply or I'm other
words he did not neglect or refuse but
on the contrary he did on two or three
occasions make such application and
that the city surveyor refused TO give
him the lines II may have been th'
Intent or spirit of the ordinance that 9
fence should not be erected unless ex-
press permission were first obtained
from the city surveyor, but the ordi.
nance only says that a fine shall b'
Imposed II one is erected by one refus
ing or neglecting to apply 20 the citl
surveyor Allender did not so refus'
or neglect. and therefore he does no
come within the letter OF the ordin
ance though he may come within th'
spirit and intent Of it,"

BILLY NOLAN HAS AT LAST
FOUND A FRIEND--A LIAR

Here is part of what Reid says in
one of his many interviews:
Give nine-tenths Of the credit in the
whole fighting world to Battling Mel
son, the greatest and gamest fighter
that ever donned a five-ounce glove.
He was completely blind in the left
eye from the eighth round on, and
blood was streaming from the other
eye, due to the most palpable foul ever
committed in a prize ring. The foul
was made by Cans in the ninth round,
when he deliberately forced Nelson
through the ropes by the wrestling tao
tics which he employed continually
throughout the fight. He then boldly
took Nelson by the hair and bumped
his forehead against one of the hooks
used to tighten the canvas to the floor
Of the ring. Some critics call Nelson
a foul fighter, but this was the first
foul committed in the Cans Nelson
fight.
Now, let me explain the second,
third. fourth and fifth fouls, which
were all committed by Cans. In the
eleventh round, after the bell had rung
and Referee Siler had stepped between
the men. Cans stepped to one side and
put a stiff rlght-hand swing square on
Nelson's jaw. What did Nelson dol
He acted like perfect gentleman, and
said to Cans: BE careful, Joe; neither
of us wants to win on a foul "
We wonder if this fellow imagine the
sporting public will swallow any Of
this sort OF rot. We, think not.

ABOUT
THIS WOMAN

A mysterious woman In black en-
tered the office of Clerk Of the Peace
Winfield S. Quigley yesterday after
noon. and since her appearance there
and subsequent disappearance, the
clerks are endeavorng to fathom a
mystery
The woman was attired entirely in
black and wore a heavy veil, and from
her appearance was evidently middle
nged. She refused to give her name
and shrank back when asked TO re-
move her veil The only thing the
clerks could learn from her was that
she desired to pay 90 cents for some
one elss. presumably q drossmaker. At
least this was the conclusion reached
by the clerks
Under the law woman with less
.hs;n $1,000 invested m business. can by
r'4n,4iir amdavit exempt herself from
paying mercantile tax. FIFTY cents IS
the only expense attached TO taking
this amdavit
From TIE story the woman In black
told In the Office. she had a dress made
by seamstross and she was sure the
latter never made an attempt TO pay
mercantile tax. She said she felt she
could no: wear the dress until she had
ut least paid the half dollar for the af-
ndavit oxemnting the drcssmakcr from
tax She refused, howeve;, TO give any
names and after vainly trying to force
the half dollar ON the clerks left the
office very much hurt over the affair.

NO ORDERS FOR
TICKETS BY PHONE

Managers OF the local playhouses are
thinking seriously Of enforcing a rule
which is now in vogue in Philadelphia
and New York regarding reserving
seats.
1t has been the custom for the man
agement of each of the theatres in this
city to reserve upon telephone order
good seats in the house for almost any
performance with the understanding
that after a certain hour the seats
shall be sold. In many cases the par
ties so ordering have failed to put in
an appearance before the hour speci-
fled and been indignant to find the
seats sold on the other hand many
Of those ordering by phone have sent
word at the last minute that the seats
would not be called for. In such cases
the management is put to great incon-
venience and often loss. especially II
the house Is pretty we'll sold
4 In New York and Philadelphia the
order has gone into effect that no tel
ephone orders of tickets will be per-
mitted, in order TO prevent this very
cause Of annoyance. and Wilmington
managers are likely TO adopt some such
rule If the present number Of refusals
TO accept tickets ordered by telephone
/ increases i'm the least.
The manager OF one Of the locai
/ playhouses said to-day: "This thing /.
getting TO be a nuisance. We are hav-
/ ing almost half ourrhouse engaged
/ by telephone. We then must refuse C
sell these seats for which we have re-
ceived no cash until they are either
taken at o'clock or released by tel.
ephone orders. We could do better &
I'VE made nothing but cash sales o.
tickets and held none IN reserve fol
anybody. The other managers here arr
about agreed on this plan.r

ing the year 1897 l gave for publica-
ton a statement about my experience
with Doan's Kidney Pills. They had
cured me of backache and a lameness
through the kidneys which had clung
to me for some time. When the spells
were most severe 1 felt as if my back
was broken. l used different remedies
but found little if any benefit until 1
got Doans Kidney Pills at Danforth's
drug store. AS l stated in 1897. this
remedy cured me, and now that seven
years have passed It is a great pleasure
for me TO say that the cure has been
permanent and / have had no trouble
during the past seven years. Many
persons have called at my store to
ask me If my statement in the paper

ONE of the small peach growers
in the Palisade section marketed
this season, $500 boxes OF peaches
which netted him seventy cents
Der box over and above expenses.
This when computed figures ~,
674 90. A pretty neat sum to be
taken in one year from less than
two acres. Is it any wonder that
such land is selling for 81 10000
an acre? No, the real worth OF
bearing peach orchard is far above
that when it comes down to hgur-
ing the investment.-Grand juno
ton Herald.
This record can be duplicated
in many parts of the western fruit
belt. The time is near at hand
when an acre of full bearing
orchard will bring very much in
excess of 81 900 and S1,50O. The
value will soon be based on what
the land will produce and not on
the fact that the grower has more
than he can attend to, as at
present. The rule is that every
orchardist puts out much more
fruit than he can attend to when
it begins to produce. While the
orchard is young he gets along
fairly we'll, but when gathering
and shipping becomes an item in
the calculation, he finds that he
should sell some of his holdings,
and that is the reason that ground
that produces all the way from
$500 to $1,000 per acre can be
bought for the amount of years
crop. That day is fast speeding
away and we fully expect to see
North Fork orchards selling for
two thousand per acre before
three years have passed.

THE failure of organized labor
to stand by its best friends was
we'll emphasized IN the Colorado
election. Buchtel, the successful
republican candidate. could not
have been elected without the
votes of thousands of union men
in Denver. Pueblo, Cripple Creek,
Victor, Colorado Springs and
other cities where organized labor
is strong. Yet at the meeting of
the State Federation of Labor a
resolution was unanim ously adop-
ted calling on organized labor to
refuse "as one man to vote in his
( IBuchtel's) favor" Had organ
ICED labor voted anywhere near
unanimously in favor of Cover
nor Adams he would have been
elected, and certainly Governor
Adams has at all times shown
himself to be true and tried
friend of organized labor. If or
ganized labor expects to profit
by cutting any particular figure
in politics, it will have to quit
spending so much time in draft
ing resolutions, and spend great
deal more time in studying up on
how to best conserve its own in
terests at the polls.-Commoner

Gone to Her Reward.

The sad intelligence was lie
ceived here this week OF the death
in the Salida hospital of Mrs John
Alexander, so well and favorably
known to all of our people.
Mrs. Alexander was taken i'll in
the late part of October, OF that
dangerous complaint, apPendici
tbs; She was on the eve of leav
ing for California, to spend the
winter, they having just disposed
of their ranch. After being cared
for and attended by local Physi-
clans for some time her case was
considered sufficiently grave to
send her to Salida for an oper
alton. The operation was per
formed and she gave every indi-
cation of being on the road to re
covery when complications set in
that speedily caused her death.
Mrs. Alexander's maiden name
was Anna J. Tibbets, and she was
50 years old at the time OF her
death. She was born in Virginia.
September 20, 1S47, and with her
parents removed to Lincoln, ILL.,,
where her youth was spent. She
was married to John Alexander
in 1879. They resided i'll eastern
states for some time but five
years ago came to Paonia. Mrs.
Alexander was sister OF Mrs.
John Tennant. of this place. She
was the eldest of large family,
two sisters and four brothers sur
viving her.
The funeral was held at the
Methodist church, Rev. Perry
officiating, on Friday afternoon
at two o'clock, after which the
remains were laid to rest in the
south side cemetery.
Deceased was a member of the
Methodist church, an activ mem

by reason of her splendid womanly
qualities. that endeared her to all
acquaintances.
AT Salida, where her death
occurred, the w K. c. showed
much kindness in visiting and
attending on the sick sister, and
their attention was most heartily
appreciated by the relatives as
we'll as the lady herself The sor-
rowing husband and relatives have
the genuine sympathy OF a wide
circle of friends in this their sad
bereavement.
