HARTFORD DEFEATS GRAYS.

Hartford, Dec. 5.-There were about two features to the Hartford Providence roller polo fracas at Capl- tol park last night, one concerning O'Hara, the convalescent Providence halfback and the other concerning the shivering audience of several hundred who sat wrapped in fur and near fur coats. With only about two minutes to play and the game irre- trievably lost to Providence, anyway, O'Hara got in line with one of Lin coln's broadsides and Doe" George l.. Rapport gave it as his expert opin- ion that it would take from three to five stitches to mend O'Hara. The second feature was that the specta- tors got cold feet. It wasn't their fault and the consensus of opinion laid the blame to Owner Boyle, who had the rink basement down to re- frigerator temperature and then left a number of unit gas heaters around the hall for every one to look at re- gretfully.
 It was just after Curtis last goal that Lincoln went on his way for a final goal. Curtis had been hitting the banks near the press stands in his wild attempts to get by Suther- land it was here that Lincoln secured the ball. O'Hara rushed for hlm to block and was about four feet away when Lincoln drove, the sphere ris- ing and felling O'Hara to the floor blood streaming from gash above his left eye. He was fixed up in the dressing room and hustled to the city there being no physician in the audi ence. The lineup and summary:

BASKETBALL.
Crosby Quintette Had An Easy Time
 Last Night.

The Crosby High school basket ball team, struck cinch last night when they faced the five representing Meriden High. It was too easy and while the Crosby rooters had the time of their lives the rest of the spectators thought Meriden lot of dead ones. Still at that it would have taken pretty good quintette to have beaten Crosby last night. In passing and in field goals Crosby was always the star and Meriden never had a look in.

the soldiers sho uld not have been
discharged without tral aud ac-
cused the chief executive with
being a lyncher. He goes on as
ususual talking of The south S de-
termination to not receive the
Negro on terms of social 90 aality

every man should be treated ac-

Race Distinction
Blacks, Brown and Yellow People
Should be Excluded From the
White Schools.

Waggoner, ILL.,, Jan. 14.-Edi-
tor State Register: Will you
allow common man a little
space in your paper? l agree
with Roosevelt in discharging
those black troops for their mis-
conduct, but | do not agree with
him in regards to the Japs going
to a white school. In Missouri
they have school for the negro.
The negro cannot go to school
with the whites
Now why do they say colored
people? They are not cotored.
They are born black. We do not
say horse. COW, dog or sheep
are colored if they are black If
you had on a black coIored. [ am
opposed to mixed school, that
is putting all races together.
Aud again, whoever heard color
ed applied to the Indian Chinese,
Malay, or any other race? One
is as much cOlOred as the other.
Lei the Japs go with the negro
or Chinese, but not with the
whites. "A Life Long Democrat.
This moss back has the poor
est logic for his back ground you
ever read Of before He simply
agrees with the president IN the
soldier case and disagrees with
him in the Japanese case. How
1imsy. He is simply opposed to
any one going to school with
whites save a white person On
examination, you will fl d that
this oil ignoramus is a back
mum Der.
'Colored' is not absurd for a
race, such as the Negro. from
the very fact that the Negro race
mas been colored and are not any
longer distinct ethic race. Il
as d whole, is colored and has
been made thus by the mixture
of black and white, red and
black, white and brown, etc.
This brother over at Waggoner
did not use irony when he called
himself d common man." he is
in reality, a very common man
and his logic is preposterous. If
a ranch of cattle, hogs, sheep or
horses is composed Of various
g ,lors you don't Say that ranch Of
black horses, sheep cutie and
hogs, either do you?

better go away back and sit

Dfouih in Arkansas.

Dardanelle, Aug. 11.-It has been nearly six weeks since this community has had a rain, and for the greater part of this time the weather has been hot, with occasional hot winds. The result Is that the entire upland and at least to per cent of the bottom corn crops are practically ruined beyond redemption.
 A continuance of the drouth for ten days longer will mean the total destruction of the entire corn crop, unless it be the very early planting, which may pro. duce half a crop. In the thin. sandy bottom lands, and also the black lands where it is not well worked, the cotton is shedding badly, and is opening prema. turely' Even the moderately late peas are all dying. This condi. ton prevails from this point to the mouth of the Petit Jean riv. CT, distance of B miles. It is sad to be the most severe drouth that has visited this coun- try since the summer of 1874

The hit which Governor Hughes manly and independent inaugural address made with the people has, naturally, been reflected in the changed attitude of the politicians. A Washington dispatch to the Chi cago Tribune describes the ReDuh- lican leaders at the national cap ital as being stirred up in an ex- traordinary degree "There is no denying" says the Tribune's cor respondent. that the governors ln- augural speech has benefited him wonderfully as far as the opinion of mere politicians goes. In both branches of congress his name IS constantly referred to and the view expressed that if he justities tn" favorable opinion created by his in augural he must be counted upon as figuring in the prospects of the next presidential campaign. There really seems to be fair chance that Mr. Hughes may prove to be a man of destiny.
