DR.. E. G. White has returned
from a months visit with friends
in Canada. He visited Montreal,
Winnipeg, and other cities of i'm
portance, but says Of all the
places he was in, none were so
busy as Minot. In Winnipeg the
people have gone luny over real
estate, everyone investing. The
young men have quit buying CT
gars that they might invest their
odd dimes in real estate, and go
round the streets begging cigar
cites. Even the proprietors of
the shoe shining parlors talk
nothing but real estate and the
street car company is kicking be-
cause so many people walk now
in order to save their money.

A Sad Case.

A sad case was called to the
attention Of the Independent
man the other day wherein Mrs.
Wilson, the wife Of a man lying
in Jail for pigging one day, is
nearly starved together with her
two little children. The man
provided for the woman the best
he could when he was out Of Jail,
and fell from grace for one day,
when he was caught conducting
a blind pig.
The law does not think of the
wife and little ones at home, and
sent Wilson to jail for quite a
long term. The wife became i'll
and could no longer earn any
bread for herself and little ones,
and being too proud to beg, was
in a needy condition when off,
GERS found her. The woman
lives in a leaky old shack and
suffered untold agonies. There
are some things that don't ap-
pear just right. The Independ-
ent does not favor plugging in t he
least. and has no excuses to make
for Wilson.

NOTES.
Something like IS OF the old
settlers were present at the gath
ering.
Ed Kelley cooFsd in the same
old camp kettle which he used
when he settled at Big Coulee, at
Devils Lake in 1883 and it was
agreed that his soup tasted the
best.
Potatoes became scarce. es.
pecially around the tents of the
Irish.
Percy Cole, the big merchant
from Kenmare arrived in his
dandy automobile Saturday
afternoon and no sooner had he
left the vehicle than someone
pasted a placard on the rear of
the machine: "Percy, this isn't
the kind OF an OK team that brot
you here twenty years ago."
A curious sign appeared Oh the
door OF Martin Jacobson's tent,
and on the floor of the tent could
be seen a beautiful plush carpet:
"Martln, where did you get that
beautiful carpet? You certainly
did not have it when you came
to this country"
1t is desired that each OF the
old settlers will prepare a his
tory OF himself for the benefit Of
the association to be published
later, giving the place from
whence he came, when, where and
whom he married, the name OF
the children with dates and place
OF birth, etc.
Martin jacobson kindly ten
dered the association he use OF
his opera house for the mid
winter meeting in January,
which invitation was accepted.
During the course Of encamp-
meEt James Johnson took pains
to refer to an experience one
stormy night of November 1884
when out on the bleak prairie at
night, and alone, he sat down
upon his wagon tongue with
snow falling from the four winds
OF heaven, while his horses were
eating a little flour, someone
having stolen his feed He was
wondering how be was to pass
the night when along came Mike
Muir, Clouse and Bill Snyder,
who shared their two by four
tent with him and they slept
peaceab]y till morning. At no
time before nor since has Mr..
johnson seen a parlor which
looked better to him than did
that little tent on that stormy
night.

1t is probable that the success
full candidates will have clear
sailing as all seem disposed to
turn in and support the ticket
that was nominated.
The Independent made the
hardest fight in it's history, and
while this paper cannot say that
it is in perfect harmony with the
principles OF all the successful
candidates, We can say that we
believe that every true Republi-
can should come out and support
che successful candidates, and
assist in a sweeping Republican
victory for next fall. The Inde-
pendent tried to be honest and
fair, and at all times tried hard
to keep from throwing mud, and
we believe that we succeeded in
this.
Tuesdays fight should prove a
warning to the Republican lead
ers OF the county and state, and
they should trim their sails &C.
cordingly. Ii they do this, The
Independent believes that two
years hence there will be no "Re.
organizers" no "Insurgents' no
''Murphyites' but all will be
harmony.

STARTLING CHARGE
AGAINST McGAHAN
The Receiver Holds up Final
Proofs Because Gang Papers
Were Nor Favored.

There is an interesting case be-
fore the land Office at present
which appears to show that L.
D. McGahan, register Of the To-
cal land Office, is turning his Of
flee into a lash with which to
make the papers throughout the
country come to time and get in
to line to boost for Mckenzie
Hansbrough and the henchmen
throughout the country.
The case is that Of twenty-one
settlers who were about to prove
up their claims. They had their
intention of proof published in
the Kenmare Journal for the
publication Of the proofs, and
presented the affidavits of publ
cation, also a receipt of the pay
ment of the fee to the registerof
the land office at Minot and asked
that the above named paper To-
Gated nearest the land as provid-
ed by law, be designated as the
paper Of publication, but after
wards McGahan had the proofs
published in the Kenmare News,
although the proofs were being
published in the Journal accord
ing to the requirements of the
law, and when the settlers ap-
peared in Minot Thursday to
make final proof, being accom-
panied by their witnesses, Nc
Gahan informed them that they
would have to secure affdavits of
publication from the Kenmare
News (the paper after his own
politics and a paper which he as
agent of Hansbrough has been
able to controD for he could not
receive affidavits from the Jour-
nal, and that he would not allow
them to prove up until they Sc
cured affidavits from the News.
thus compelling them to pay the
fee over again, which is five dol
lars for each proof. The settlers
who have their proofs held up on
this ground, that the paper did
not possess the right politics are:
Hans Grenvik, Olaf Christianson,
James NJ. Bailey, Patrick Can
field, Gust johnson, August Pet
erson, Lewis Eklund, Edward
Peterson, Late Arneson Nit
gard, Napoleon B. Harris, Lucy
NJ. Barn, Albert Stark, John
Modin, Elliot r. Nash, Nels Ben
son, Andrew Modin, John Ian
ders. Magni Johnson. The case
has been appealed to the depart
ment of the interior at Washing
ton for settlement, for the named
settlers do not think that L. D.
McG ahan, simply because he is
the register of the land Office,
has any inherent right to dictate
their politics.

LAST BIG GAME.

The last big game of the season comes of to-day at Franklin field, Philadelphia, when the Army and Navy meet in their annual contest Although the game will not be wit messed by as many celebrities as usual and the Army and Navy un- dergraduates have not made the pools as in the past, the game, never theless, will without doubt be one of the best played in years as both elevens seemed to be evenly matched. If odds are given West Point should rule favorite.
 Both elevens have been defeated the soldiers last Saturday by Syra- cuse, score 4 to 0, and the Middies by Pennsylvania State, score 5 to 0. But the West Point team has the ad- vantage of having figured in some very hard games, taking on Harvard, Yale and Princeton in succession. Moreover West Point was the only team that was able to cross the Blues line, showing that she had an attack that was not half bad. The Navy team, although not considered strong in the early part of the sea son, has been coming along and should give good account of itself to-day.

THE DIAMOND.
Baseball or Founders the Game in
 Ireland.

Another step toward the American izatiOn of Ireland will take place next year. says an exchange. Arrange ments are now in progress to intro duce the game of baseball. Cricket is practically boycotted in Leinster, Munster and Connaught. and in many of the towns and villages in Ulster. It's support is entirely confined to what is described as the garrison element in Ireland.
 The young athletes of the country have been looking out for some pns- time that will help them cultivate their muscles and stamina during the summer months, and baseball Is their choice.
 The suggestion has come from Richard Burke, wealthy San Fran cisco man who has settled at Ncnagh in the county Tipperary, where he has done much to encourage sport in va rlous forms in the south of Ireland. He believes that baseball had It's ori- gin in the old Irish game of round CTS" If we revive the old Irish game of rounders in Ireland in its modern form" he says. "ln a short time we would see as little cricket in Ireland as in America. If It Is taken up enthusiastically by the young men of the country. as I believe 1t will be in few years we shall see the cham pion baseball nine of Ireland clial- lenging the United States for the championship of the world"

HOT SHOT IS THIS.

To the Sporting Editor Waterbury
 Democrat:
 If you would spare us few lines few remarks regarding the Thanks giving game between the Second wards and the St Thomas cadets Now, we didn't get lot of credit in any of the local papers for it. but at the same time we're not look ing for notoriety.
 In regard to Tommy Cunningham and his men, they are certainly perfect crowd of gentlemen for they proved 1t at the game on Thanks giving. They are grand crowd of losers. but at that they ought to beat the Second wards. In regard to Mir Cronin's statement in the pa pers for he has been knocking Henry Hayes since he got it for the way he handled the Second wards in the line of coach. which Cronin said wasn't fast enough for. The All Water burys we'll know it goes to show that Hayes is a good man. He coached the Second wards with the assistance of Harry Batchelder for one week while Jack Bagley. the start of the All Waterburys coached the St Thom- as cadets all the season. That goes to show that Hayes is pretty val uable man and he will be seen ir Sullivan's line next season. Harry Batchelder will also be there. He will coach and captain the heavy team. With such men as Hayes and Batchelder. Herb Dews. Thompson, Jerry Egan, Dan Buckley and Bob Short, Hoffman, Newbert, Dodds and Pickett Jim Noonan and few others the Second wards can tell the All Waterburys next season to soak their heads and get reputation before could think of playing the St Thom- as cadets. Now to show Cronin that 1t was not necessary for the heavy team to play the cadets, we put on our juniors and We beat them fair and square. Our heavy team would beat the All Waterburys, just the same, and by larger score, until they show cold feet. "Chass Bauby land Emil BoufYard and George SulIi- van will also be seen on the Second ward line up next season.
 As to Manager Slavin of the All Waterburys and Tommy Cunning ham of the St Thomas cadets we have no hard feeling but we would advise poor Cronin to have his pic ture taken among the dead ones. The Second wards juniors play the Starlights of Naugatuck tomorrow for the championship of the state. and this will be their last game this season We think our little quarter back. Harry Bergin. saved the game for us on Thanksgiving day. He was the cause of shutting the Cadets out. We must look to Manager Sullivan for the beg team next season.
 Yours.
 The Second Ward A. C. Football Team. Champion Juniors of the City.

GRIDIRoN NOTES.

Bott of the Starlights is said to be the best kicker on an amateur team in the state.
 It looks as if All Waterbury would go through the season without being scored on.
 The Second Wards are willing to arrange another game with the Star lights of Naugatuck.
 Matt Byrnes should, if he has not forgotten how, do some pretty punt ing tomorrow. At one time he could hoist the plgskin in clever fashion.
 The Webster School. Jrs, will play any football team in the city. whose average is 92 lbs. For particulars in quire of Latham Malone, 1901 North Main street.
 Wonder where the crowds that have been going to State league park the past seven or eight months dur ing the baseball and football seasons will go now?
 The Moonlights of this city and the Tribunes of New Haven will play the preliminary game at State League park tomorrow. The game will be called at, 1:45. The Films would like to play any team in the city or state whose play CTS average from 100 to 105 pounds The Brownies preferred. who claim the championship of the city, but have no claim to it until they defeat the Films. J. O'Brien, 345 Bank street.
 The Acorns have twice walloped Thomaston. the score of one game being 70 to o. while the best Nauga- i tuck could do Thursday was to play a tie game with the ThomastOn team Ask the Naugatuck players if this counts them out of the race for the championship?
 The new rules place large amount of work. on the shoulders of the backfield. The All Waterbury line is in very good shape although the same men have participated in almost all the game while the backs even though changes have been made during every contest are in battered condition.

THE PUGlLISTS
ANOTHER BIG
 PURSE OFFERED
Forty Thousand Dollars For An. other Bout Between Joe Cans
 and Nelson.

George Lewis Rickard. better known to followers of pugllism as Tex Rickard, arrived in New York yesterday from Chicago. having made the trip from the Windy city or one of the eighteen-hour flyers. With him were his wife and year old daugh- ter. The Richards are at the Imper- ial hotel.
 Upon his arrival Rickard an- nounced that he would offer q s4O,OOO purse for another Gans-Nelson fight. He then looked up his friend Tim Me Grath. and together they went out to see the town. They wound I'D at the MetropOle last night, and Tim began to introduce the Goldfield man to all the sporting men of any prominence who came in.
 When seen last night Rickard said:
 I'm glad to get back to Gotham. even for q short stay One of the tru- est things ever said is that it's just like camping out when you leave New York. What makes the old town seem doubly comfortable is the fact that I've just come from Chicago. where l made ten-day stop.
 And right here I want to give q correct version of that gun play af- fair in Packingtown. l have never made gun play in my life. l never had occasion to, and therefore l did not pull gun in Chicago. was standing on box and detective came up behind me and sneaked the revolver out of my pocket, When ar rested gave n fictitious name, but somehow the story leaked out.
 This was an exceptionally long speech from Rickard. who is a quiet looking man of medium height, with very dark brown hair. twlnkling brown eyes, q pleasant smile and !, firm mouth.
 'NelsOn does not get enough credit for the fight he made against Cans. The latter is the fastest fighter m the world. He was in the best possible form, or he never could have gone the forty-two gruelling rounds with Ncl- son. who is the toughest proposition In the lighting line. The Battler took an awful beating and it Is marvel to me that he was able to stand 1t. <

 Young Corbett, while training at his quarters in Stratford. near Bridge port, took some exercise along the sound. He noticed a peculiar animal climbing rock, and taking an oar out a rowboat struck it on the head. With the assistance of Augustus Wood, one of the trainers, he tied the denizen of the sea to the rear of an automobile and brought it to Bridge port.
 It weighs thirty pounds and has two wing-like fins and two small feet, which Is used to climb on rocks. The fish has a mouth ten inches in length and a pair of horns. It is over three feet long and eighteen inches across the back.
