Locals Avenge Last Weeks De-
feat By Out Bowling South
AmbOy Team.

The Alpine Bowling Clubs first
team defeated the South Amboy
Yacht Club in their return match,
last night on the Kirby alleys in Ho-
bart street. Both teams worked
hard. The Alpines were determined
to win their second match and avenge
last weeks defeat. The games were
close, in the second game the Alpines
winning by only two pins. The third

the South Amboyans wished to catch

HIGH
GIVES UP FOOTBALL

The Plainfield high school football
squad has voted to abolish the game
because of it's dangerous features.
This action, which does not meet
with the approval of all the players
on the squad, was taken because of
the opposition to the game upon the
part OF the parents of many of the
players, who have objected to their
sons trying for the football eleven
for some time.
The decision to drop the strenu-
GUS game of football at the high
school is really the outcome of the
sad deaths of two players of school
teams near Plainfield. Not long ago
a Lawrenceyille player received in
juries while playing football which
resulted in his death. Only last week
a player on the Morristown team.
Charles Suydam, was tripped while
making a flying tackle, and had his
neck broken.
The accidents in Plainfield and the
deaths so near Plainfield have re-
suited in the parents of the boys who
play on the high school team refus-
ing to let their sons play the game
of football any more this season.
They have not made and decided pro-
test but put the matter up to the
boys, who were practically told they
must cancel all games and igve up
football for the present at least.
The boys held a meeting and voted
to consent to their parents wishes.
1t was not without considerable pro-
test, however. Many of the boys want
ed to keep up the game in opposition
their parents, but they were finally
voted down.
1t is said that some of the boys
were playing without the consent of
their parents. Their enthusiasm for
the sport was in excess of solicitude
for safety. At any rate, the season
is ended for the Plainfield high school
eleven. This is regretted by those
interested in the team, for their pros
poets were considered bright for d
successful season

WATSON SPEAKS
HERE TOMORROW
Of All the Eloquent Addresses
it is Thought His Will be
The Best.
LARGE CROWD EXPECTED
NEW CASTLE GLEE CLUB WILL
ASSIST THE TAGGART CLUB IN
THE MUSICAL PROGRAM-AN
INFORMAL RECEPTION.

Congressman Watson will close
the Republican campaign in Rich
mond tomorrow Saturday evening
in the Coliseum when it is expected
that he will address very large
gathering of voters. Congressman
Watson has been the most indus
trious campaigner of the vast army
of Republican orators this year and
has covered a greater amount of ter
ritory than any speaker in the coun-
try in behalf of the Republican cause.
In addition to his services for the
National Republican committee, Con
gresham Watson has made speeches
in every county in the Sixth Con-
gressional District ar his meeting
in Richmond tomorrow night will end
a strenuous period of platform work.
The New Castle Glee Club is COM
ing down to Richmond tomorrow
with a delegation of Henry county.
Republicans to attend the Watson
meeting and this aggregation of sing
ers. said to be the best in Indiana.
will be ably assisted by the Taggart
Glee Club.
1t must be admitted on all sides
among Democrats as well as Repub-
licans, that after all has been said
about campaign speech makers that
most of them fail to come up to the
standard of eloquence as set by Con-
gressman Watson. He never fails to
highly entertain as well as to in
struct and owing to the prominence
that the young Congressman mas at
tanned in the House of Representa-
tives during the past few years, there
is more interest than ever before in
his utterances.
The meeting will take place at 7:45
O'Clock and the doors will be opened
at I O'Clock. Following the speech
there will be an informal reception
for Congressman Watson. This will
be held in the Coliseum.

HOUSE BURNED
BAD FIRE AT DAYTON, OHIO.
Well Known HosteIry Damaged to
Extent of $25, ,OC0 by Fierce Fire in
Which no one was Hurt-Other
Property Endangered.

Dayton, o., Nov. 1, (SpL)-The
Phillips House, of this city was al
most totally destroyed by fire to-
night, causing a loss of nearly $685.
600. The fire originated in the attic
of the hotel, above the fourth floor,
and the flames had gained good
headway before they were discover
ed.
AS the hotel occupies one of the
most prominent corners in Dayton
and much valuable property was en-
dangered, all the fire departments of
the city were called out to quell the
flames, and with diligent work, they
were not conquered before midnight.
The hotel was filled with guests,
but owing to the early hour when the
fire was discovered the majority of
them had not retired and all escaped
before the fire had gained its great
est headway. Not one person sus-
tanned injury during the fierce fight
against the flames.
The hotel was owned by stock
company composed largely of Dayton
capitolists.

George Wolf, Driver for Dun
ham Company Has a Most
Peculiar Accident.
ORIGIN OF FIRE UNKNOWN
THOUGHT THAT SOME YOUNG
STER, WHO WAS STEALING A
RIDE SET THE coMBUsTiBLE
MATERIAL AFIRE.

A most unusual accident occurred
to the furniture wagon of the Gilbert
T. Dunham Furniture Co, Wednes
day afternoon near Centerville, where
the wagon caught fire in some man
ner, and nearly $50 worth of furni
ture was burned.
The driver, George Wolf, had LEFT
the city in the morning in order to de
liver the furniture to prominent far
mer near Bryant's Chapel. His load
was closely packed with burlap and
other combustible materials. He had
passed Centerville and as he was
driving peacefully along the road he
was alarmed by the loud cries of
farmer yelling that his wagon was
afire Wolf looked around and saw
that such was the case, and after hur
riedly unhitchlng the horses, began te
unload the burning furniture in order
that he might save the wagon. The
furniture was completely burned.
The cause of the fire is unknown
the most plausible theory being thai
some school boy of Centerville hae
climbed to the wagon while smoking
and the sparks or matches he useo
set the combustible materials on fire
Mr. Dunham discredits the theory
that his driver was smoking because
of the fact that the fire started in the
rear of the wagon, in place that
could not be reached by matches or
cigars used by the latter.
The occurrence is the second time
that Mr. Dunham has lost goods by
fro on bic wagon the first Occa sion
being several years ago when he lost
wagon load of fine parlor furniture
near the Pennsylvania station caused
by spark from a locomotive setting
it afire.

ARE NOT VERY HEAVY

A comparison of expenses of the
circuit courts of Wayne, Laporte,

shows that despite the fact that
Wayne county has the largest popu
lation its court expenses are consid-
erably less in each instance. Tippe-
canoe county, of which Lafayette is
the county seat, has total annual
court expenses of $9,127.26, while
Wayne county's court costs foot UP
$5,1O4.S5. 1t is a fact, however, that
there is considerably more court bust
ness done in Tippecanoe county than
in Wayne.
