MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
What a Gardner Vote Means.
GRiddafnrd journal !

"A vote for Obadiah Gardner is a
vote for Obadiah Gardner" says the
Portland Argus. Indeed! There are
not few who had an idea that a
vote for Gardner was a vote for some
body nearer Waterville, the place
where everything bearing the genuine
Democratic trademark is being manu-
featured this year.

Prepare TO Sell Tickets for Big Foot
BALL Game of Season.

Monday afternoon the four high school
classes held separate meetings for the or
ganization of squads and a system for sell
ing tickets for the coming foot ball games,
Donald Wood was I'm charge Of the seniors
meeting and elected Ruth Lindley as chair
man for the girls and Coo buchanan for
the boys.
The junior meeting was In charge Of War
rem Howard and had the largest attend
ance. The juniors decided on a new system
for their class. Ten boys and as many
girls were chosen and will act as leaders
Of the squads, when they will select. They
are Edward Burdick, Isaac Carpenter,
George Sugerman, Harry Keuner, A. Ken
needy, Phil Mccullough, Buresh and Ted
Willard. The girls are Jasmine Sherraden,
Helen Rayley, Nellie Elguttcr, Ruth Shell
don, Ruth Gould, Harriet Blake, Alice Cid
con, Sarah Ayers, Mary Philippi and Doras
Sass.
The freshmen elected George Grimes and
Ruth Clark as chairmen for their class.
The plan is to put a premium on ticket
selling to interest those who probably have
never attended a high school game. Tickets
for the game with Harlan, which is to be
played next Saturday, Will be on sale by
the squads before school and during the
lunch hour. A large sale IS anticipated, as
the game with Harlan is to be a strong
one and is among the prominent ones Of
the season.
Coach Cherrington gave the men Of both
squads a quiz on plays used.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER PRIEST
Unidentified Man Fires Two Shots
While Priest IL
by Children,

CHICAGO, Oct. 1s.-An attempt to assas-
sinate Rev. ]. h. Fielding, pastor OF the
Corpus Christi Roman Catholic church, was
made Saturday. After twice shooting
at the priest in the Sunday school hallway
Of the church the would-be assassin, knock
ing down scores of children standing in
his way. ran into the street and escaped.
The shooting and the screams Of the chill
dren created wild excitement in one OF Chi
oago's fashionable residence districts.
1t was in the middle Of the afternoon
that the culprlt had been seen lettering
in and about the church and was observed
writing upon a sheet OF paper. He placed
the paper in his pocket. The police believe
that the writing was an explanation of his
intended act and his identity, which was
to be found upon his body, in the event
of his committing suicide after killing the
PRIEST. A letter of similar purport was
found in the possession of Giuseppe Ala,
who killed Father Leo Heinrichs in Denver.
during the church service a short time ago.
Aroused by tho mans actions Father
Fielding approached him, saying: What
are you doing here?"
I'm praying" replied the stranger.
As the priest turned his back the stranger
stepped into the hallway, drew a revolver
and pressed It against his intended victim.
Father Fielding knocked the weapon away
Just in time to escape a bullet, which
grazed his head and clipped a lock OF hair
from his temple.
At the same time the priest knocked the
culprit down by a blow on the face. Hur-
riedly scrambling to his feet the man
continued down the hallway, pushing and
trampling over the children. At the bottom
Of the stairway he turned and fired another
shot at the priest, and then, still brandish-
ing the revolver, ran into the street. A
dozen children, accompanied by Father
Fielding, ran in pursuit and were Joined
by a Grove Of enraged citizens. but the
man escaped.
The man is described as being about 30
years old, roughly dressed and was evil

HIGH SECOND TEAM PLAYS WELL
Loses to PIattsmouth on the Closest
Kind of Margin.

Against players who were their Supporters
In age, weight and experience, the second
team of the Omaha High school scored a
clever goal from field and held its oppon-
ents 20 one touchdown at Plattsmouth
Saturday afternoon. Plattsmouth played
the first team of the Omaha High school
several weeks ago and was badly defeated
on account of the superior skill Of the
purple and white lads, so the second team
went up against the Plattsmouthites with
the determination to do its best against
them. The score was . to 4 In favor OF
Plattsmouth.
Every yard of ground was hotly CON
tested and for a time no one could say how
the match would result. At the end of the
first half, just before the whistle was
blown, the Plattsmouth team had the pig
skin within a few inches of the Omaha goal
line, but the light but plucky Omaha lads
prevented them from scoring.
Captain Hugh Mills of the Omaha team
made one of the spectacular plays of the
game and scored four points, the only
points made by his team, by kicking a goal
from the field. Other good plays by the
Omaha team were not lacking, either.
The courteous treatment accorded the
Wis tors by the Plattsmouth team during and
after the game was a subject for favorable
comment by the players and their friends.
Prof. Orchard of the high school faculty
accompanied the team on the trip.

WALK OVEN coLuMBIAs
Latter Brace in second Half and Pre-
vent Further Scoring.

About 500 foot ball devotees were treated
to an exciting game Of foot ball out at
Deitz park Sunday afternoon. The Deitz
Athletic association defeated the Columbias
from South Omaha by a score OF is to 0.
All Of the scoring was done in the first
half. The second half the Dietz bunch
thought they had an easy proposition and
were over confident, but the South Omaha
team came back strong and refused to let
the Dietz score. The work of the Dietz
team did not come up to expectations, al
though the line was impregnable to the
attacks Of South Omaha and they were
strong on defense, but were very weak on
offensive play. In the second half the
Columbias showed a superb ability to brace
at critical moments against the attacks Of
the Dietz team. =
Casey, who advanced the leather egg about
ten yards. The Columbus were unable to
gain and were forced to punt. Quigley
caught the ball and made a spectacular run
of sixty yards for a touchdown. Thomas
kicked goal. First touchdown made in two
minutes; Fftz kicked off to Whinnery. who
ran eighty yards for another touchdown.
Thomas kicked goal.
Thomas kicked off to O'Brien. who was
downed in his tracks. The South Omaha
team was forced TO punt. Tuttle received
the pigskin and advanced fifteen yards,
Line plunges by futile, Moran and Good
rich advanced the ball to the five-yard line
and Goodrich went over for the last touch
dow Of the day. Thomas kicked goal.
Time called.
In the second half Fitz kicked off to
Thomas, who advanced ten yards. The
second half was only ten minutes and as
the South Omaha team used about five
minutes of the time in killing time II was
impossible for either team to score. The
crowd stopped Quigley from making a
couple of touchdowns after he had got
around the end for a large gain. In the ex-
Change Of punts in the second nalf the
Dietz team had the best Of the booting and
played all Of the second half in South
Omaha territory, the half closing with the
ball in Dietz's possession on the ten-yard
line.
On next Sunday out at Dietz park the
Dietz eleven and the Superior aggregation
will clash for their first game of the sea-
son. and as both teams are fast an inter-
esting game is predicted.
