Springfield, Mass, October 27.-Though
there was no scoring done in the annual
game between Williams and Dartmouth
played here today for the first time Will
liams sprang big surprise by having the
best of the battle. Williams claims she
should have won 2 to o. but the officials
ruled that what Williams claimed was a
safety should go as a touch back.

Yale IL, Amherst o.

New Haven, Conn, October H.-Yale's
great defense in the last few moments
of the game with Amherst today, saved
fler from being scored on, the Blue making
one of the best stands in defense of her
goal seen here for some time. The final
score was II to 0, in favor of Yale. Am
hersts spry left end gathered the ball
in after a tumble by a Yale back, near
the close of the game and carried 1t to
within two yards of the Blue goal 1t
looked like q score for the visitors, but
Yale not only held, but twice drove back
Amherst As the last resort field goal
was tried, but the kick fell short A
moment later the game was ended.
Amherst followed the ball better than
any team seen here this year, and COM
PEELED Yale to play her hardest to win.
The visitors worked the forward pass
to good advantage and Yale used 1t a
few times with fair success. Amherst
was unable to gain ground by bucking
the line, and was forced to kick whenever
they got the ball. Yale, on the other hand
by sticking to old-fashioned football, made
ground when in striking distance of the
Amherst goal line, both touchdowns being
made by line plunges.

ABOUT THE FITFUL WAYS
OF COTTON SPECULATION
BY BILLUPs HARRIS.

Cotton-speculation is jealous mis-
tress. He who, when once he is into the
game. allows his attention to be divided
is pretty apt to go broke. He who gives
all his attention to it is liable to have
the same finish. for that matter.
But 1t is a wonderfully enthralling
game. 1t has only two sides, say the
pikers; it must either go up or down; it's
cinch 1t can't go sideways. They be-
lleve this because the columns on the
boards run up and down, and then they
hear of cotton being down or up so much
But the talent knows better than this.
They know that always cotton goes side
ways for the piker 1t doesn't literally
make horizontal lines on the board. but 1t
breaks and bulges and starts and slumps
so that to all intents and purposes 1t
has about the same sideways motion as a
buckng bronco.
The truth is, the piker doesn't know
exactly how it goes. lie only knows
that he has been Joted until he sees
stars. Then he gets whp-sawed. He
hedges. He buys on the top and sells
at the bottom. If his trades were closed
considerable debit entry, but as he doesn't
actually see the loss. he feels secure in
his hedge He shakes all bias out of his
mind, all market opinion. He gets par
ticularly well poised, takes Il calm dis
passionate view of the situation, reads
dope, is hot and cold by turns, carefully
weighing every factor in the balance I'M
til he knows all about frosts In Texas,
the Fall River stocks, and the Bombay
| movement Then with new formed opln-
ions and renewed confidence, he takes
out his hedge and assumes a position on
the market.
Then the market plays him a scurVy
trick. 1t forthwith shows itself to be
what Henry Grady said 1t was, damned
| fool" 1t jolts his eye teeth The hitherto
smiling broker takes a sldelong look at
him. and incidentally sidesteps to his
| ledger, and with a look like an under

Col. Sibloy Here.

(. Col. F. J. Sibley,. president and
general manager of the Copper Creek
Mining company, of Tucson, Arizona,
called on stockholders in the company

were in q aattering condition. He
had just made deal with Minneapo-
lis parties that assured the company
of ample financial backing to push
the work of developing the ore bodies

fast as needed. Col. Sibley felt that
the fact that Minneapolis capitalists
after sending their man out to the
property to examine it, were so we'll
pleased that they closed deal amount
ing to over fifty thousand dollars

being good. evidence of the merit of
the property as we'll as the manage

Contracts for Tiiing.

The Willmar Tile and Drainage Co.
began work last Thursday on con-
tract for complete system of drainage
on the P. J. Haley farm. The COM
pany has also contracted with J. M.
Downs for the same kind of work on
his farm in the town of Kandiyohi.
Several other parties, both in the city
and in the country, are planning on
having tiling work done and the pros
poets are that the company will be
kept quite busy this season.
The drainage of lands has become
such necessity on many of our farms
that it will not be long before it will
become general in the county and the
tiling of bitches will create. quite q
demand for work along this line. The
Anderson Land Co. of this city are
members of the above company and
anyone wishing tile work done can
leave orders at their Office.

Injured In Fall from Root.

Nels r. Orred, the wellknown mer-
chant and postmaster at Spicer, re-
ceived severe injuries as the result OF
q fall last Monday morning. He was
on the roof in the rear of his store
building making some repairs, when
he slipped and was precipitated to the
ground, distance of about twenty
feet. He landed on the sidewalk,
striking with such force as to break
the boards of the walk, but luckily did
not have any bones broken. He
struck the walk with his side, and
that member and the side of his head
were considerably bruised. He was
rendered unconscious for nearly hall
an hour and it was at first feared that
his injuries were of q very serious
nature. A physician was summoned,
and at this writing we understand the
patient is resting easy.
