WABASH LOSES IKE" WILLIAMS.
Played Ten Minutes In the Last Game
of the Season During His First
Year, Therefore Ineligible.

Big Ike" Williams, Wabash's IA
nous football tackle. has been declared
ineligible, and is out of the game for
all time to come. He is one of the or
igina1 Little Giants" and his retire
greatest players that ever donned
Wabash uniform. For two years he
has been picked by many students for
the all-Indiana team.
In addition to playing three full
years, Williams was sent in for about
ten minutes during his first year
against Earlham. Had that been an
early season contest it would have
made no difference under the intercoI-
legiate rules, but, unfortunately for
Wabash's present prospects. it was the
last game, and counts against him.
Under the strictest Interpretation of
the rules he is ineligible but Indiana
waived the technieality. as did Illinois
University. Purdue has raised an OBJ
lection, however and since they have
been very strict themselves in their OBJ
servance of conference rules, williams
will step down and out for good. He
is a tower of strength, and his loss
lessons Wabash's chances against Pur-
due very materially. Captain Suther-
land win probably be shifted to tackle
and Powers sent in to I'LL his place at
left-guard.
Williams is a star basketball player
as well, and his great work at guard
has helped wabash win the state bas-
ketbau championship for two success
sive seasons. He is eligible for basket

Senator Albert J. Beveridge, IndI-
anas foremost public speaker will be

cided to meet the speaker with an out
line for his talk that can be more
readily applied to local conditions.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of labor was ex-
pected to be in town this noon to de-
liver a short address before he goes
on his way to Lafayette where he
speaks tonight. Sir. Gompers in the
tenth district is after Congressman
Crumpacker and appeals to the labor
ing class and the union men in his
fight that he is making. At the local
headquarters where his lighting scheme
is sknoyvn it was decided to instruct
Senator Beveridge to take up the cause
Of the laboring men in the same way
that Gompers would have done because
of the advance notice Of President
Roosevelts message in which he comes
out especially strong for the laboring
class.
In a message received this afternoon
local headquarters were notified that

A Famous Document Never Before
Printed.

One of the regular departments
of the Farm Journal is headed "High
Farming at Elmwood, and has been
running for many years. In late num-
Der the writer devotes almost his en-
tire space to printing an old contract
between George Washington and his
foreman. He says that it has never
before been printed We think that
those of our readers. who are employ
ing foremen, or are acting as foremen
for some one else, will find it a good
example of what a contract should
be:
There has come into my possession
an interesting document, consisting of
articles of agreement between George
Washington, farmer. and father of
his country, and one William Pearce,
wherein the latter is engaged to su-
perintend the farming operations of
the master of Mount Vernon and its
Dependencies" 1t seems to me that
it is Appropriate that this agreement
should appear in the Farm Journal.

our first President, but because it
lnculculates wholesome lesson in
this, that it shows how careful Wash
ingtOn was in having a complete un-
derstanding with his superintendent.

be only observing what every Farmer
must be thoroughly sensible his duty
enjoins,- it may not be amiss tc
repeat that one of the most effectua
steps to accomplish all these ends
is to see that the Overseers of the
Farms & the Superintendents of Other
business are constantly at their posts
for it may be received as a maxim
that If they are away or entertaining
company at home, that the concerns
entrusted to them will be neglected

less certain that relaxation on his part

theirs; therefore strictness with JUS

business we'll conducted.
In consideration of these Services
well & truly performed on the part
of the said William Pearce. the said
George Washington doth hereby
promise to pay him the said Pearce
the sum of one hundred guineas per
annum, and in that proportion for a
greater or lesser time actually en-
ployed in the said Washington's ser
vice; and will allow him over and
above, twelve hundred pounds of
Pork; about five hundred pounds of
beef, to be received at different times
as IT may happen to be killed for the
use of the mansion House or for mar
ket, and some fresh meat from what
may be occasionally killed for like
purposes, together with bread sufi-
cient for his family; he is also to be
allowed the use of Three Cows for
the purpose of affording milk & but
ter therefor, and to raise Poultry
for the same, but not for sale And
if he brings Horses (not exceeding
tWO) he is to be allowed grain & fod-
der or hay, for them; in which case
he is not to use any horse or horses
belonging to the Estate The said
George Washington doth moreover
agree to allow the said William Pearce
the use of negro woman to wash

girl to aid & attend in the House &

teen or fifteen years of age, & the
other twelve: and will put the House
