"DOGIN THE MANGER'
col. wATTERsoN RoAsTs BRYAN
BUT SAYS HE WILL SUP
PORT HIM.

Boone, Ia, Nov. 16.-Colonel Henry
Watterson was asked, while in this
city, for his opinion on Bryan's tenta.
tive acceptance of the democratic pres,
idential nomination. He declared he
had labored with Bryan to decline the
nomination and to quit his Dog in
the manger' attitude.
Watterson realized that Bryan had
it in his power to demand the leader
ship of the democratic party in 1908,
or to Defeat any other candidate by
knitting him as he did Parker"
Bryan's acceptance was no more
than he had expected, however greatly
he regretted the action, because he
thought Bryan could no longer create
enthusiasm as he had been before the
people too many times.
Rooseveit's Candidacy.
Asked as to the assertion often made
that the next president would be
Roosevelt or Bryan, Watterson said
the nomination of Roosevelt was all
the Bryan supporters wanted, because
they could then go to the people on
the third.term slogan. Bryan could
carry New England on such a cam
paign, he thought. Roosevelt would
Mexicanize this government, holding
himself as greater than Washington.

STARVING TO DEATH.
IOWA GIRL IN DENVER, TOO
PROUD TO BEG, is IN A
BAD PLIGHT.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 1s.--Laura Stew.
enson, pretty Centeryille, Ia, girl,
for nearly two months has been trying
to starve herself to death here. The
only apparent reason is that she was
forced to give up a life of ease and
work for her own living. Her family
is said to have been well-to-do in Iowa
but has met with reverses. This
forced the girl to leave home.
Relatives apparently left the girl to
shift for herself. Too proud to ask
for aid, the girl spent her last cent in
coming to Colorado. She obtained a
position doing housework in Colorado
Springs, but her inexperience caused
her to lose one place after another and
she decided to die.
She came to Denver and failing to
find friends who would assist her grad
ually sank deeper in the slough of
poverty and misery.
Good Samaritans in this city are try
ing to save the girls life. Her con-
dition is critical.

BOY BADLY HURT.
Clarence MlIIedee Falls From Tree
and Dislocates Shoulder.

Clarence Milledge, fourteen-year-
old lad of this city, was the victim of
a painful accident in the woods south
west of the city Sunday evening which
resulted in the dislocation of his left
shoulder. He was in company with
a crowd of other fellows who had gone
off in the direction of the Blind Robin
coal mine for a little fun and they
were amusing themselves in climbing
a tree when the Milledge boy fell of
of one of the upper branches, striking
the ground on his back. He was quick
ly removed to his home on North A
street, where medical assistance was
secured and the dislocated joint re-
set. The injury caused him severe
pain and will confine him to his bed
for some time.

LAYING WATER MAINS
Work was Started Saturday on the
Big Improvement

Work was begun Saturday in laying
the new water main from the east end
of High avenue to the grounds Of the
new Holiness University addition to
the city for the piping of city water
to the college building and numerous
residences. This improvement will
add one of the most needed conven-
fences to the equipment of the Holy
city in supplanting the use of the
small pumps and the gasoline engine
force pump on special occasions.
The line of pipe will extend for near
ly a mile beyond the present termina-
ton of the main, southeast through
the property of the Oskaloosa Paving
Brick Co., diagonally across the coun-
try through ravines to the University
grounds. A threeinch wrought iron
pipe is being laid and rapid progress
viii be made in the work this week if
everything is favorable. By tomorrow
the men will have their work well in
hand and it is thought that they may
be able to lay as much as five hundred
feet of pipe day. At that rate the
new equipment could be completely
installed within two or three weeks.
Superintendent Horace Hawkins. OF
the Oskaloosa Water Co.. has direct

EARLY MORNING FIRE
Department Called to the Home of
Mrs. Stommel

The usual Sunday fire was bit
late this week, being delayed until
4:30 o'clock Monday morning. An
alarm was turned in for the residence
of Mrs. Elizabeth Stommel, No. sos
Sixth avenue east, and the department
responded with its usual alacrity. The
fire was confined to the basement and
the department thought it might han
die the trouble with the chemical ap-
paratus. The flames were distributed
through the basement, however, and a
line of hose had to be laid and water
thrown. The damage to the house
hold goods of Mrs. Stommel is consid-
cradle, but to the property is slight.
The house is owned by John Cleve-
land, from whose place the alarm was
sent in. The fire started on the cell.
ing of the basement. The rafters had
been covered with cloth and this fired
from a flue which runs to the floor
above. Mrs. Stommel had arisen I'M
usually early to make preparations
for a days work. The same stove
had been started with the same condi-
lions present hundreds of times be-
fore, and just what caused the cloth
covering of the ceiling to catch is not
known. No one was in the room where
the fire started, at the time, and the
flames had gained considerable head
way when the alarm was turned in.
The total loss will amount to several
hundred dollors, with some insurance.

GUILTY OF MURDER
"sEcoND DEGREE" VERDICT FOR
MISS NoRLlNG's SLAYER.
WISHED IT WERE FIRST
J. w. Reeve, Who Caused Three
Deaths by Firing Carload Of Dy-
Mantle In Colorado, Also
Convicted.

New York, Nov. 19.--Frank III. War
ner was convicted Monday night of
murder in the second degree for the
killing of Esther G. Norling on July
23 last.
I'm sorry they didn't make it first
degree" was Warmers only comment
when the verdict was returned.
Warner, who had known Miss Nor.
ling for some years, went to the store
in which she was employed in Forty
second street and shot her without
warning.
Also Killed an Old Friend.
He escaped into large office build
ing and before he was followed got
out through a window. He then went
to a hat store owned by John G. Will
son, lifelong friend, and shot him.
Wilson died soon after. Warner was
captured by a truckman armed with a
cotton hook, as he was leaving Will
sons store. -
Patrolman Thomas Walsh was dis
missed from the police force on
Vi nOI
Warner into the office building after
he shot Miss Norling. ...-

Reeve Convicted at Boulder.
Boulder, Col, Nov. 19.--Murder in
the second degree with recommended
ton for the minimum sentence of ten
years Imprisonment was the verdict
returned Monday by the jury in the
case of ]. w. Reeve, railroad brake &.
man, who confessed that he and an
other railroad man set the fire on the
Colorado & Southern railway yards
here on the night of August 10 last
which caused the explosion of car
load of dynamite, killing three men
and destroying several hundred thou
sand dollars worth of property.
1t was urged on behalf of Reeve
who is a member of well-known New
Jersey family, that he was intoxicat ID
at the time he created the crime and
did not know there was any dynamite
in the railroad cars. The motive fol
starting the fire was sympathy with
the Colorado & Southern switchmen,
who were on strike.

FOOT BALL
Are AGAIN Tied.

III TUSCALOOSA ana hnOAflIl6 nlSu SCuOUl
football teams met at the City Park
Saturday afternoon to decide which
was the best, the dispute having been
carried over for three years, each con.
test being tie, and again Saturday
neither team got the game. The
touchdown by Wetherwax few min
utes before time was called in the last
half, however, saved Oskaloosa from a
defeat that would have given Knoxville
the edge of it in the past four years.
Knoxville proved oskaloosa's worthy
rival From the first part of the game
to the end they showed that though
they did come from country town."
that was no reason why they could
not play football. In fact, they put
up a better game than Oskaloosa in
many respects and had it not been for
the lucky grab of tumble by Wether-
wax near Oskaloosa's goal line and
the placing of the ball over for a
touchdown, the score would have been
II to in favor of Knoxville instead
of tie IL to IL.
Knoxville backs were always able to
make good gains while with Oskaloosa
it was different. Still Oskaloosa's
poor playing might have resulted from
the team which was weakened by the
absence of Sterrett and Johnson.
Chloe broke away in the first half
and made a pretty forty yard run
down the field and scored touchdown.
Knoxville's other touchdown was cas-
lily made by Cunningham.
Oskaloosa's both touchdowns were
lucky plays In the first half Ruby
made touchdown by Cadwallader's
getting the ball on tumble.
Oskaloosa won the toss and defend
ed the east goal. Savage kicked Ruby,
who returned the bail to the ten yard
line. BY series of smashes Oska-
loosa planted the ball on the fifty yard
line. A tumble gave the ball to Knox
VILE On the second down and af-
ter two minutes of play, Chloe broke
away and ran down the field for
touchdown. Goal was kicked. To
tai 6. t
Knoxville kicked to Oskaloosa, who re-
turned the ball to the fifteen yard line.
Both sides played consistent ball, both
being forced to punt. By series of
smashes and fake plays Cunningham
placed the ball between the goal posts
after eleven minutes of play. Rodgers
failed to kick goal Score IL. Two
minutes before the first half was fin
ished Cadwallader stabbed a tumble.
By a series of smashes, Ruby was
pushed over the line for a touchdown.
Mattison kicked goal. Score 6.
When time was called Knoxville had
the ball in the middle of the field.
Second Half.
Knoxville kicked to Oskaloosa, who
returned the ball to the fifteen yard
line. Both sides played ball, Knox
vile backs breaking away several
times from the scrimmage, but were
nabbed by Reisman. Oskaloosa was
able to make part of their gains. Two
minutes before the end of the
second half, Oskaloosa fumbled the
ball, but Wetherwax recovered it a
yard from the goal line and put 1t
over. Mattison failed to kick goal.
Score, Oskaloosa II, Knoxville IL.
The lineup of the two teams was
as follows:
