hard for the game with the Normal
team next Saturday. Several of the

the hard game with Washburn last

The game last Saturday at Golden,
Colo, which was supposed to settle the
state championship of the Centennial
state between the Colorado College
Mines resulted in tie of to 4. each
side negotiating a field goal. This is
the third consecutive year that these
teams have played a tie game. AS
these two teams are without rivals for
the state championship and in order to
definitely decide the premier position,
another game has been arranged for
next Saturday between the two teams,
and it is hoped that the championship
will be decided at this game.

this season coupled with the inability
OF the majority of the squad to adapt
themselves to the new style of the great
american college game has been enough
to discourage a man endowed with r1cfe
or the never say die spirit than Bonnie
owen IS. But in the face of one 6is-
aster after another he has kept plug
glng along as calmly and collectcdly
as though his team was running up
top heavy scores in every game. The
regular backs have been compelled 10
watch substitutes run through the new
formations, while they limp up and
down the field nursing their bruises and
curslng the i'll luck that had forced
them out of the game. And the fact
that Owen has been forced to use cub
stltutes IN trying out his pet plays has
been great handicap to him, for i is
difficult to tell Just how they will pan
out until the regular backs can exc
cute them Owen has presented quite
an elaborate set of formations for the
forward pass and the very variety of
methods he has devised for pulling off
the much talked of play are calculated
to make it doubly effective and bewil-
dering. The furry caused by the an
nouncement that the Thanksgiving
game with Washhurn might be trans
rerred to Topeka might well be termed
Much Ado About Nothing" for that
plan has been abandoned and the stud
ents again certain of seeing their fa~
Vorites close the season at home or very
near there. Coach Owen is bending ev-
cry effort to bring the season to close
with victory that the school VIII be
proud of. He is on still hunt Tor an
automatic dispeller'' of a bad case OF
charley horse, a rib rubbing remedy
guaranteed to relieve and a family
sized ginger box. from which the whole
team is expected to draw daily. There
is not man on the squad but that
would be benefited by a large dose CUT
of the family ginger box.

A good deal of talk has been circu-
lated to the effect that the Oklahoma
game will. be transferred to Topeka.
This; has been suggested but at this
late date nothing can be done. It was
thought that for a time that a better
crowd could be secured for Topeka but
as there is another game in the city at
that time this change could not very
well be made. The game is being adj
vertised extensively. over the territory
and a good crowd should be in Okla

that will be played in Oklahoma City

The game at Manhattan next Satur-
day promises to be an interesting af-
fair. Kansas university and the Aggies
will be the opposing teams While
Manhattan has not played as good foot
ball throughout the whole season as
has the university team, nevertheless
the game should be an interesting one
The Aggies will undoubtedly be in good
shape as this is perhaps their hardest
game. while the K. U. men are apt to
be caught in poor condition between
the Nebraska and Missouri games. The
Aggies went with the K. U. team to
Lincoln last Saturday where the whole
team rooted for Kansas and incidental
ly got a good line on the Kansas style
of play.

Ed Brown. the crack center of the
Washburn team. played his last game
on the Washburn gridiron last Satur-
played four years with Washburn. He
was a member of the indicated team
Of 1903 when Bert kennedy coached
Washburn and played guard He was
one of the best guards in the state that
year. He continued in this position in
1904 and part of 1905. Last year. how
ever, he was shifted to the center po-
sition and distinguished himself in This
position. He was easily chosen as the
Arkansas center. His football career
will end with the Thanksgiving game.
Brown has never been a spectacular
player of the grandstand variety but
has been hard worker. He was never
hurt in game.

No Change.

Having been asked several
times as to the position of the
Missouri Valley Times on the
approaching city election, we
can only say we regard all the
candidates as gentlemen and
do not question the ability of
either of them to make good
councilman, but as The Times
has been democratic for neatly
forty years, and having a good
set of candidates do not see the
necessity of changing our posi-
tion at this time. We do not
esreet to make a party or per-
sonal fight on either, and shall
w our support to the ticket
we assisted to place in nomina-
tion before the people of Mis-
;ouri Valley. There need be
no 4 ,e5tion as to our ticket.

taken to the State grounds. A
public man, honered, and hav-

broke his will and divided the
property, and where his house
once stood, now stands the fine
Polk Flats.
We visited the penitentiary,
which has LOGS inmates and
out of the number 526 are COL

profit derived from them. One
thing noticed, and that is, they
do not shave their heads as we
DO in the north. Some of them
were such young looking boys,
but suppose that comes from
the fact that they have no re-
form schools down here, and
for small crimes are sent there.

Clint Harker of POttaWatta-
mie county had quite a serious
accident yesterday which might
have proved fatal had not some
one come to the rescue. He
came to town yesterday in a
bob sled and when he started
to go home the snow had melt
ed and his sled struck the bare
ground and Harker drove aside
to get in the snow and drove
into a ditch full of water some
three or four feet deep. The
horses got stuck and Mr.. Hark-
ec was getting worn out when
help arrived and pulled the
team out.
The North American Insure
ance Co., by their Agent, F. l..
Davis, of this city, paid over to

loss on building by fire, Sunday
morning last, the full amount
of loss. This we call quick ad-
justment.
Mr.. Weston had a letter from
John Huff and wife who are in
Baker City, Oregon, in which
they said there was nineteen
inches of snow on the ground,
and that on account of the
disagreeable weather they have
not been able to get out as
much as they liked to. They
are having a fine time and will
be gone yet for a month.

upon a very slender thread, and
while her friends here may
hope for the best they must be
prepared for the worst.

Spafard's have quite a novelty
in the way of a picture of the
seven Stokes sisters, who came
in recently with their mother.
The sisters had not been to-
gether for eleven years and
concluded to have their pic
lures taken while they could.
Not long ago the four Stokes
brothers had their pictures
taken so the family Of twelve
makes quite an interesting
Crowd. The Roosevelt idea
certainly predominated in the
Stokes family. We trust they
will have many pleasant years
together.

March 1e 100

Dear Folks: 1t does not seem
possible that | am in the same
places that father and mother
used to be, and visiting with
the children of their friends Of
years long gone by. The men
and women of to-day who were
children then remember "Dan-
Iiel M. Harris" so we'll, and all
send love to you.
| We went down to Williams
port, your old home to-day, and
viewed the house in which you
land dear mother lived Sd years
.|ago. 1t does not seem a house
would stand all these years, but
it is still in a very good state of
preservation, and as | went
through the rooms and halls
and thought of how. it must
have been in the past years, |,
in my Imagination could see you
there. This is the place | have
thought of and dreamed of all
my life.
We leave Columbia tonight,
after a four days most delight
full visit. Columbia is a pretty
little city of 10000 people and
have just finished a beautiful
white stone court house at Q
cost of S125,000, to replace the
old one which was here in your
day.
| visited Miss Annals colored
nanny. Her sons mother was
one of your servants and died at
| your house, Maria believe was
her name. His little 8 year old
daughter sang for US and | be-
lieve she has the sweetest voice
| ever heard. | have made quite
a hit with the colored race, and
there are several who wish to
accompany me home, in fact in
sist on it, so if you find me with
several colored people when /
arrive at home, do not be sur
prised. The oldest colored coup
lie here we went to see and Cous-
lin Anna told her the Northern
girls road horse back astride.
She said: "For de Lord sake,
Miss Anna, don't let that gal co
dat way down here, she would
disgrace herself for life," mean
ing Della.
Sunday we spent with cousin
Worley White and family, at
Franklin. The family are love-
y and the day was fine and We
had a delightful time.
| We attended the Christian
| Church, the building was built
in 1851, and | think the house
is still kept up in same style as
then; one thing | note down in
this county in the Christian
| Church which | do not like and
that is, they are of the old
school very strict and don't
allow the organ in the church
Franklin is very nice town of
|about 10000 citizens. In our
drive over the city we Travelled
the line of march where the
greatest battle in the South du-
ring the Civil war was fought,
known as the battle of Frank
lin, where 5000 brave men fell
in four hours. One brick bull
ding still stands which was COM
pletely riddled with shell and
and ball; on the battle field now
stands a college, called the Bat
tlefied Acadamy.
We spent Monday with cou-
sin Mary Allen, a niece of moth
er's, and reminds me so much
of my own dear mother. How
odd it seems to be among our
relations who | never met be-
fore, "Kin folks" as they say
down here.

ly large city we have visited in
