Hiqh School Football Game.
R. H. S. 6

R. H. S.. 6 d. H. S. S
The Ritzville High School won the
the first game of the season from
Davenport by the small margin of six
to five. A squad of about twenty boys
made the trip to Davenport to open
the football season for the local High
School and for Davenport, and to get
even for the score Davenport made on
their trip here last fall The weather
was. perfect for football, a light rain
had fallen and settled the dust and
made the field firm and both teams
were in fine condition. Capt. Fletcher
of Ritzville won the toss and chose
the south goal, then began series of
line bucks and end runs--that kept the
ball about in the middle off the field.
Under the new rules in the side in pos
session of the ball must advance it ten
yards or forefeit the ball. Both teams
had difficulty in making their gains by
line bucks or end runs. Kagle for Da-
venport made gains on his end runs
until Lewis and Newland discovered a
way of stopping him. The. only ex-
citing time of the first half was when
Davenport got within one yard of our
goal line in foul and the Ritzville team
held them for downs, received the ball
and advanced it to their twenty-five
yard line the first down. The first half
was called in twenty minutes, no time
being taken out in the entire half.
The second half was more interesting.
Davenport had the south goal and the
benefit of the wind and in about four
minutes after the whistle blew O'Leary
carried the ball over for touch down,
and attempt to kick goal was failure
and the score stood five to nothing in
favor of Davenport. After the goal
the teams changed goal and Ritzville
kicked off, Davenport returned the ball
to the center of the field where they
were held for downs. Couch took the
ball around their right end for three
yards, then the ball was passed to Hell
me for punt. This is where Helme
made his reputation. The punt went
clear over their safety full-back and
was downed within about seven yards
of their goal line. In their first play
Harris made the quarter tumble the
ball and Fletcher fell on the ball. Fow-
Ter was given the ball and he covered
the seven yards in one down. The ball
was carried out and Lewis kicked goal
making the score six to five in favor of
Ritzville, with four minutes to play.
Neither side scored in the remainder
of the game so the final score was six
to five. Time of halves twenty minu-
ties.
Lendley, umpire; Heaton, referee;
Taylor, linesman.
The game was feature of the Lin
coin County Fair and was witnessed by
about two thousand people.
The next game will be played between
Davenport and Ritzville on October 81
at this place.

THINKS Mckinley ALIVE
Sultan Kept In Ignorance Of Assasslna'
tion and Complications.

Chebik Bey, the Turkish Minister TO
the United States, who has been al
Washington for the last four years, has
not vet presented his credentials.
The reason for the Minister omis-
sion is quite as queer ~ the c'untfy
which he represents AID the sovereign
by which it is ruled. A comic oprae
could be founded upon the relations
betw cen this country and that of Abdul
Hamld Sultan of Turkey. For the
reason of Chekib Bey for not present
ing his.credent ais is that those papers
must, of course, be made out to Presl'
dent Roosevelt, as President OF the
United States, and that nobody IN Con-
stantinople has the hardlhOOd to leli
Abdul Hamid of Change of admins
tratlOn that would involve an eXplana
tion of the fact that President MchlL-
lev met his death at the hands Of an
assassin So great is the horror OF the
Sultan on the subject of assassination
of the worlds rulers that no one OF MS
subjects dares to tell him that Presl-
dent Mckinley was murdered.
The Sultan, according to the Official
explanation of Chekib Bey, has never
heard the slightest intimatl0n OF the
assassination of Mr.. Mckinley, and
his officials fear that the news would
have a disastrous effect upon the ruler
of all the Turks, as we'll as upon their
own wellbeing.
The credentials of Chekib Bey are,
therefore, addressed to President Nc
Kjnley, and until someone musters sur
ficient courage to tell Abdul Hamld OF
the facts his minister must langulsh
without proper papers.
1t was in connection with an amend
ment proposed by Senator Knox to the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill, providing that the American LIE
CATION in Constantinople be raised to
the rank of an embassy, that the queer
facts regarding Chekib Bey's status
in Washington became known. AL
though the amendment is in the nature
of compliment from this country the
Porte is dlsmayed because OF the tact
that All am bassador can demand as a
right to see the Sultan. Under the
present arrangements Minister Lelsh'
man must wait the Sultan's pleasure
before he sees the potentate, and ire
ouently waits for months before OBJ
tanning an audience.
Chekib Bey. meanwhile has been "in-
formally recognized. But he can
transact little or 10 business OF i'm
portance. - Washington Correspond

LON DORSA'S STRANGE TOMB
ARRANGED TO THAT HIS WIDOW CAN
SEEH HIS BODY.

ARRANGED To THAT HIS WIDOW CAN
SEE HIS BODY.
The strangest tomb in America. If
not in the world, is that which rest the
remains of Lon DOrsa in Deepwood
cemetery, Nevada, Mo. 1t is so con-
structed that the widow can look upon
her deceased husband at will, by the
turning of key in lock which holds
a stone Bible just above the remains.
The construction of this tomb is
peculiar, and II is the only one of the
kind perhaps ever erected. The design
was made to satisfy the young widow,
she wishing tomb so she could vlslt
the cemetery and gaze upon the face
OF her deceased husband.
The stOpe is of Carthage granite ana
weighs several tons. The lower halt OF
the tomb is 12 feet long. 4 feet wide and
feet high. In the center of this is a
space removed large enough to hold
the body and above this is another
heavy stone, which fits into the lower
one, so as to make it appear as oneisollt
lrock, In the center of these two heav.
stones now rest the remains. Jus
over the face of the dead man is al
opening about Is inches square, int
which is glass, fitted alrtight. A0ov
this is the stone Bible, which re7olve
on a pivot and turns around, thus e1
posing the face of the body to view.
