Have Own Observation-Disclosures
Taylor, of the Illinois has wire from
Manager Mcfarland, of 1.-THE Sho Gum
company, saying, "Cut out the orches-
ira. We carry our own" In 1.-THE
Sho Gun" which is here tomorrow
night, playgoers will see and hear of
the first joint work of those brilliant
writer's, Messrs AIDE and Luders. In
the book and the lyrics will be found
some of the most brilliant and lasting
work Mr.. AIDE has ever done; the wit
is dominant throughout and there is
something scintillating about the cpl
grammatic lines he places in the
mouths of his creations; then, too,
there is consistency to the book, some
thing in itself which should commend
the work to the most hyper-critical.
For his efforts as collaboration with
Mr.. AIDE, new laurels will go to Mr.
Luders. The jingling tunefulness which
his marked his Prince of Pilsen,' -
Woodland and other musical offer
ings produced by Mr.. Savage is not
lacking in 1.-The Sho Gum. although
there is said to be more body to the
music of "The Sho Gun" than he has
hitherto displayed, but, while gaining
the higher plane of musical compost
ton, Mr.. Luders is not sacrificing his
reputation as a purveyor of the sort of
music which tinkles and jingles and
for that reason his You're Just a Lit
tie Different from the Others That
Know 1.-The Man She Never Meets"
Your Honeymoon Will Last"
Schemes "The 1rrepressible Yank,"

championship" has been one of the
worst evils attendant on the game, the
representatives voted unanimously to
urge the adoption of schedules which
will prevent decision of the cham
pionship at the close of the season.
Accordingly each college probably will
have only one big game to play.
Chicago will play Michigan, but "a
game with Wisconsin is unlikely.
Staggering BLOW.
College football was dealt stagger
ing blow by representatives of the
big Nine who. at the conclusion of
a two days conference, Saturday rec
commended many decided changes in
the conduct of football and other
sports. The determination of the pro
fessors, apparently, is to curb as far
as possible all tendency toward profes
sional;sm in universities, and various
recommendations announced after the
meeting adjourned have this idea up
permost
1t was recommended that the game
of football. as played at present, be
abolished as an intercollegiate and col
legiate contest in the conference col
leges. that the conference await from
the American football rules committee
such notifications of the playing rules
as will free the game from brutality
and unnecessary danger; that in the
event that such alterations are not
sufficient, the conference will delegate
a committee to draw up rules of its
own, and that if it is satisfactory, the
game can thus be established, and the
recommendations adopted by the con
ference shall apply to its conduct and
management.
Faculty to Control Money.
The money end of football was
strongly condemned in a set of resolu-
tions. and in the future the faculty
will have charge of the gate receipts.
One of the new rules will compel the
football players to have as many recita-
tions during the football season as at
any other time of the year, and at the
end of the school year he must be able
to show a clean record to be eligible
for the team next playing season. Any
man who has received his bachelor
degree or other academic degree will
not be eligible to play on the football
team, no matter by what institution
that degree has been conferred. This
rule will bar graduate students entire
ly. and the game will be played by
undergraduate teams only.
No Professional Coaches.
Hereafter athletic associations will
have nothing to do with securing coach
IS. that duty being left in the hands of
the trustees of the colleges. and there
will be no football training before the
college opens, the first day the uni
forms may be donned being the open
ing day of college work. In the future
the coach of any football teams belong
ing TO big Nine" colleges must be Z
member of the faculty; a purely pro-
fessional paid coach is not to be en-

Rules and Regulations.

The rules and regulations provided
for have been prescribed by the super
intendent of public instruction as fol-
lows:
l. In all counties using the state
Course of Study" as guide and stand
ard of work, and in which central
and final examinations are cuStomar-
lily held, the regular examination for
graduation from the eighth grade may
be substituted for the special examina-
ton for the scholarship, provided due
notice has been given, and the exam
nations are held on the second Satur-
day of May. But in no case should a
scholarship be given to pupil who
does not pass the required examination
for graduation from the eighth grade,
nor to one who has not been registered
as provided in Section of the act.
2. In counties not using the state
Course of Study as standard the
examination provided for in Section )
shall be held at some schoolhouse in
each township, centrally located, and
previously designated by the county
superintendent. The questions for
1906 may be prepared under the direc-
ton of the county superintendent, in
accordance with his judgment, provid.
ed that care must be taken to ascertain
that the successful candidates are well
grounded in reading, writing. spelling,
arithmetic. geography. English gram
mar, and United States history After
1906, some knowledge of civics and the
history of Illinois should be added to
the foregoing.
Identified by Numbers.
s. All examinations should be fair
and impartial. To this end they will
be, at least in part, written, the papers
being identified by numbers instead of
the names of the candidates
4. The names and addresses of sue
cessful applicants should be certified
t. the state superintendent, as provid-
ed in Sections. within so days of the
date of examination. Unless a salts
factory explanation of the delay ac-
companies belated reports, the respon-
sibility therefor will be noted on the
face of the certificates issued in accord
ance with the provisions of Section 4.

vii FACE SERIOUS eBaRaE
CASE or GRAND LARCENY
, AGAINST THREE Men.
Frank TrablIz, Henry Miller and Isaac
KufaH, q Swftchman, In Tolls
Of the Law.

The theft Of seven fur overeOats
from a Rock Island freight car in the
GOOdland yards some time in August
last, came to light November 80, when
a switchman here. named Isaac W.
fall, was arrested By Deputy Sheriff
COchrane upon a charge OF grand lar
ceny. YufaIl was arraigned before
Justice Of the Peace Perdieu, and
plead guilty to the charge, whereup-
on he was bound over for trial in the
district court, his bond being fixed at
$1,000 Unable to give surety, he was
committed to Jail
But YufalPs case IS only the begin
ming OF the rather long history OF the
OvercOats since taken from the car.
he felt lonesome, and when proved
for further Information, implicated
Henry Miller, a newcomer to Good
land, and Frank Trablik, an old-time
Sherman county farmer.
This was made the grounds for the
immediate arrest Of Miller and Trab-
iks who also were brought into court
December 2, Miller waving prelimin-
airy examination, and Trablik plead
ing not guilty. The bond for the men
was placed at $1,000 each, which was
furnished, and both are at liberty.
They must answer also to the charge
Of grand larceny in the next session Of
the district court
Rock Island detectives have been
working on the Oyercoat case ever
since they disappeared, and strange to
say, the first clew to the theft was OBJ
tanned in detective quarters away out
in Arizona The detectives got hold Of
a man there that had something to
do with the thieving in GOOdiand, and
he let the cat out Of the bag.
It seems that Yufall, a sTitchman,
dumped the box Of coats out Of a car
in the east end Of the yards, and when
the switch engine was working close
by, he threw the box on the tender
and dumped it OF at the west end Of
a straw stack in the neighbOrhood.
Miller became connected with the
handling Of. the goods, which finally
landed on the place OF Frank Trablik,
fifteen miles southwest Of town
The OvercOats were found by the au-
thOrities on Trablik's place, where
they had been buried. Mr.. Trablik
said that when he became convinced
that the coats were stolen property he
sent for the supposed owners to come
and get them
Mr.. Trablik, who owns a good farm,
and is now practically an invalid, has
a good many friends in the county,
who believe that he had no intentions
himself to commit a crime, and If he
can show that he was without know
ledge that the goods were stolen, and
that upon learning the fact, ordered
the. coats removed, he can get him
self out of the unfortunate condition
Rock Island Detectives Meehan and
Threekeld and others have been in
town for the past week, and have
been busy in rounding up the men
who are implicated in the theft Of the
property, which is valued at S245.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE TEACHERS
Handed Out Bouquets to the Boosters
and Thanked GOOdiand.

We, the teachers Of northwest Kan
sas, in association assembled, desire
to express our appreciation OF the eff
fcient management Of the seventeenth
session Of the Northwest Kansas
Teachers association, by our worthy
president, Prof. r. G. Mueller, whose
untiring efforts, energy and uniform
courtesy have resulted in one of the
very best associations in the history
Of the district.
We consider the lectures by Dr.. S.
H. Clark Of the Chicago university
one of the best treats ever enjoyed by
this association. We feel that this one
feature is well worth the entire ef-
fort and expense Of attending this
meeting.
we desire to thank the citizens of
GOOdland for the royal welcome ex-
tended to US, and especially Superin-
tendent J. p. Phillips and the recep-
ton committee for their earnest ef-
fort in looking after our individual
F. h Baker, former president of
this association, has our sympathy in
his affection, and we wish him a
speedy return to health
We feel that the people Of this state
are to be congratulated on the Sc
lection Of so worthy a school man as
E T. Fairchild for the position Of
state superintendent; and in carry
ing out the duties Of this important
Office, we pledge our most loyal CO.
operation.
We believe that our OdiOus system
Of school taxation should be revised;
and we demand, that in addition to
the district tax at least a two mill
state supplemented by a county tax
be levied for the support Of our pub
lie schools.
Believing that law enforcement is
the basis Of all efficient government
We demand the enforcement Of all
laws, whether local, state or national

G. J.. Smith. on Passenger Run Be
tween PhillipsbuFg and Kansas City.
Conductor Q. L Smith, who for
some time has had a run on trains q
and q between Phillipsburg and Kan

tor for fourteen years in the service Of
the Rock Island railroad, died sud
denly Of heart disease in a room at the
National hotel, SO4-6 Central street,
about O'clOk yesterday afternoon He
went to the place about 1890 o'clock,
accompanied by a woman, and asked
for a room. The two were assigned to
a room on the second floor. After
reaching the room Mr.. Smith rang for
the porter and sent out for two bot
ties Of beer The beer was taken to
the room and nothing more was heard
Of either Of its occupants until about
2 o'clock, when the bell on the an
nunciatOr in the hotel Office began to
ring vigorously and the hand point to
the number Of the room which Mr..
Smith and the woman occupied
"a chambermaid, fearing that some
thing was wrong by the manner in
which the bell rang, hurried to the
room The door was locked, but the
trying to unlock it The maid excited
ly inquired what the matter was when
the woman exclaimed: Get a doctor
quick There is a man dying! Run,
QuickI"
Mrs. c. H. Wyatt, wife Of the pro-
prietOr Of the hotel, attracted by the
noise, ran upstairs, and, hearing the
woman eXclaim that a man was dying,
hurried to the telephone and summon
ed DR.. z. 7. Phillips, who has an Of
n INK R-na
In the meantime the woman in the
room was able to get the door IN
locked and the maid rushed inside
Mr. Smith lay on the bed gasping for
breath. His companion rushed to his
side and then to the maid, all the
while pleading with her to do some
thing for him She was partly dressed,
and was apparently too excited to
think Of DOMINIC the rest Of her cloth
ing.
when DR.. Phillips arrived the wo-
man had become hysterfcal. The ply
Sician examined the man, but saw i'm
mediately that there was no chance
for his recovery Smith gasped sew
eral times after the doctor arrived and
then expired

Prof. LaclzneF OF HOxie Calls Atten-
ton to Colby Educator
So much interest was manifested in
the Northwest Kansas Teachers as
ISOLATION meetings here last week that
the teachers have scarcely recovered
from the enthusiasm Prof. LackneT
Of the HOxie schools, has written a
letter to this paper, with an accom-
panying article, with the request that
it be published.
"a New Infusion Of Blood" is the
title Of Prof. Lackner's contribution,
and is as follows:
THAT new blood has been infused
into our Northwest association was
clearly demonstrated in the graded
school department meeting, when
Prof F. NJ. Smith Of Colby pesented
the new subject, Shorter Periods of
Promotion in a new manner and
created the liveliest and longest dis
cussion Of the association.
1T was remarkable how Prof
Smith defended every part Of his pa
per and diagrams against the whole
association, who at first fought his
new plans, but were later loud in its
praises.
The same Smith was leader Of a
small Thomas county delegation who
carried the association home with
them to Colby for next year"

Teachers and Professors Loud in
Praise OF GOOdIand Meeting.
I'm point Of attendance, the seven

and educational zeal displayed ranks
first among the dozen years Of the as
sOciation's meetings which have at
tended. Prof. Simmonds Of Man
katO-
That statement is similar to many
that were heard from the teachers,
professors and county superintend-
ents that were in GOOdiand at the as
sOciatiOn meeting. They couldn't get
over the fact" that GOOdland's loyalty
to the interests and comforts Of the
teachers was almost phenomenal
There were no bitches in arrange
ments, and no disappointment in the
matter Of quarters and entertainment,
which speaks in words of praise for
the unremitting work Of County Sup
erintendent Phillips in trying to make
the convention complete success
