BENDERS' VICTORY.

1.-The victory of Johnnie Bender s
Western Wonders over the st. Louis
team at whose hands Nebraska re-
ceived quantities of rough treatment
came as complete surprise. 1t is
hard to believe that Bender's team
could have defeated St. Louis had they
met them on Thanksgiving day, at
which time Nebraska was defeated. No
doubt the long, tiresome trip and the
fact that the game was so long out of
season were potent factors in the de-
termination Of the event as reported.
But whatever may be the explanation,
it must be admitted that the Western
ers outplayed the st. Louis semi-pro-
fessionals in every line of play and
deserve the respect and admiration
felt by Western football enthusiasts. -

NEW DEAL IN HIGH SCHOOL,
ATHLETICS

The summit of the Cascade noun
tains will in the future be the divid-
ing line between the Washington State
College and the University of Wash
ington, in conducting their respective
annual interscholastic track meets.
according to the agreement which has
just been reached by Professor Charles
Timblin of the State College, and Dean
A. r. Priest, of the university faculty.
Professor Timblin returned from
Seattle last week, where he met Dean
Priest and decided upon this arrange
ment which will considerably increase
the harmony between Washington's
two educational institutions.
Under the agreement. the university
will extend invitations to all high
schools west of the Cascade mountains
to participate in the lnterscholastic
meet conducted by the university, and
the Washington State College will in
vite all the eastern Washington high
schools to the interscholastic which
will be held under the auspices of the
W.S.C. The dates of each meet are
announced as May and g. The cups,
emblems and medals are to be of the
same style and design, the only differ
ence being in the lettering. 1t is pro-
vided that the winners of the two
meets shall contest for the highest
honors. This latter contest will alter
nate between Seattle and Pullman,
this year being held in the former
place.
As further indication of the good
intentions of both parties, each insti-
tuition will at the time of the meet,
send representative to the other for
the purpose of assisting in the work,
thus giving each institution a chance
to learn how the other does the busi-
ness. The rules governing the con-
tests will be drawn up in the near
future, and will be applicable to both
meets. Each institution will pay the
expenses of five athletes from any
school sending representatives.
This announcement has been received
with much pleasure among the faculty
alN etudents of the Washington State
College, since. with the latter institu-
tion controlling the high schools of
eastern Washington. and the university
in control west of the Cascades, there
will be no disagreeable competition as
has existed in former years, and the
expenses of each meet will be greatly
lessened.

REPORTER AND COED. IN
ELOPEMENT.

A press dispatch sent out from Ia
coma tells the following story of the
romance of two young people we'll
known in Pullman:
"Miss Laura Pearson. a pretty 49,
year-old student of the freshman class
in the Washington State College at
Pullman, daughter of wealthy ranch
er living near Pullman, and Ray Fell
ton. young newspaper man of Ia
coma, yielded to the urgings of Cupid
last Saturday and were parties to
runaway marriage, the elopers going
to Bellingham, where they were mar
ried by the Rev. Mr.. Williams, of the
Trinity Methodist church.
"The Pearson and FELTON, families
are friends of long standing, and since
Christmas Miss Pearson has been the
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. FELTON,. Miss
Pearson and young FELTON, were sweet
hearts last year when both were stu
dents at Pullman, but the parents of
the young people did not suspect the
real depth of the currents of youthful
affection. Saturday morning Miss
Pearson was scheduled to return 10
school at Pullman, and, bidding fare
we'll to her hostess. she started fer the
station accompanied by young FELTON,.
"While waiting the departure of
the eastbound train at the Northern
Pacific depot the young people found
they were unable to bear the pain of
parting. FELTON, persuaded Miss Pear
son to change her itinerary and, inE
stead of returning home, she accom-
panied the young man to Bellingham.
When Mrs. FELTON, was notified by
long distance telephone message of the
SlOpSiil6llI SHe SulleTeu SSN6IS lSl
vous shock. Later, however. she be-
came reconciled to the doings of ire
pressible Cupid and wired the young
bride and groom to return to the Fel-
ton home at Tacoma. This they did.
and on their arrival in Tacoma they
received cordial welcome.
"Felton is 81 years old, and for the
past year, since leaving the W.S.C.,
has been employed as a reporter on a
local newspaper. w. W. FELTON,,
father of the groom, is leading con-
tractor, for many years a resident of
North Yakima.
"Both young people were popular
students, we'll known in social circles
of Tacoma and Pullman.

Klemgard, Treas.
for the Coming
Year.

Wheat has been the theme under
discussion in Pullman this week, the
third annual wheat convention having
attracted the wheat grower, the buy
er, the shipper and the miller from all
parts of the Inland Empire, and the
wheat question has been threshed out
in every phase of the subject. The
point of greatest interset to the wheat
men. however, has been the sack or
bulk shipment problem. it being the
universal desire of the producers to
find some method for the marketing of
the grain in bulk, and so be relieved
of the sack tax.
The third annual session of the
wheatgrowers convened in the Christian
church Thursday, with Pres. r. C.
McCroskey in the chair. The effect of
20 years of continuous cropping of
the soil of eastern Washington was the
first subject discussed, O. E. Young
taking the lead in the discussion.
Others who added their experience to
the discussion were Phil Cox, of Hay !;
]. M. Martin. of Dusty, and James
Philips of st. John.
Prof. Severance then took up the
question of the theories and practices
of dry farming, advocating that by
proper rotation of crops and cultiva-
tion of the soil the ground can be con-
tinuously cropped without summer fall
lowing. This subject also elected
much discussion.
President McCroskey delivered his
annual address at the afternoon ses-
sion, the address being characteristic
ally interesting. Misses Seabury and
Trainor, of the W.S.C.. entertained
the convention at this session with Sc
lections on violin and piano. Pres.
Bryan, who has Just returned from his
European trip. was given a most
hearty reception when he appeared be-
fore the convention, showing the warm
place the farmers of the state have
for their popular W.S.C. head.
Weeds and other pests of the wheat
helds were the subjects discussed by a
number of speakers, and J. C. Law
renee, of the state railway commiss-
Ion. told of the work of the commiss-
ion.
Wheat Fields, Old and New, " was
the subject of the talk by Jos. E..
Wing, of the Breeders Gazette. Corn
ahd peas as rotation crops were dis
cussed by w. H. Harvey and B. T.
hyrns' and j. Stukey. of Anatone, a
miller told of the milling values of
the different varities of wheat.
N. B. Atkinson, of Waitsburg,
president of the State Farmers Coop
eratlVe union, told what the union is
uolng, and stated that within year
here have been organized As locals and
Three counties in this state.
D. W. Arasmith, state 'grain in
'pector' gave an intresting talk on
reasons for present state grades of
wheat and the benefits therefrom to
'ne wheat growers, and the discussion
Vi tnis subject was led by ]. M. Mar
tln' of Dusty.
1reat interest was shown in the con-
'ention by the various transportation
companies, the Northern Pacific being
represented by ]. G. Woodwork. gen.

Height Of Great Men.

The Duke Of Wellington has always
been mystery | have read that he
was feet 4 inches tall. | have read
also that he was only } feet + inches
tall Historians tell us he was any
where from feet inches to feet IL
inches. There are some things, SEEM
ingly very simple, which it is impossi-
BILE to establish; this is one of them.
Historians are still guessing the height
OF Julius Caesar, the size of Hannibal S
head, the weight Of Alexander the
Great, and the general dimensions OF
Solomon. Why, we are not even sure
of the stature of George Washington.
1t might be believed that Napoleon,
Alexander the Great, and Jay Gould
were of the same size, the bumptious
little chaps. And it is common belief
that Charlemagne, Erling the Bold,
Frederick the Great, Robert Bruce and
William Wallace, General Winfield
Scott and Richard Occur de Lion were
all top-notchers. "Old Fuss and Feath-
ers," formed in girth and weight.

Kisses Classified.

A man with need of something to do
has been defining kisses. Here is the
result, to select but a few from a count
less variety: The cold, icy kiss which
sends shiver down the back bone and
freezes the fount of affection as effec-
lively as the chilling touch of the finger
of frost spreads a layer of ice over Il
mountain tarn.
The proud kiss, as an ungallant Span
ish writer says, "a pledge of eternal
hatred like wOman'S kiss" and
which, according to another writer,
strikes 'the recipient like an avalanche
of snow"
The noisy kiss which ''hail-fellow-
well-met" people give without an iota
of tenderness of feeling, a salutel which
Shakespeare thus describes, "And kiss
ed her lips with such clamorous
smack that at the partiug all the church
did echo"
The spiteful kiss, which conceals ven
ON within its affected sweetness. The
leather kiss, which is as insipid as its
name; while the frothy kiss, the per-
suasive kiss and the spasmodic kiss are
all alike poor counterfeits of the genu-
inc article

CAN NOW REACH COAL MINES,

The taking over by the Southern
Railway Company of the properties OF
the Virginia & Southwestern Railway
Co., has been consummated. The prop
erty will not be merged into the South
ern system, but will continue to be op-
Grated as separate property. The lines
that go over in the purchase include
the Virginia and Tennessee divisions OF
the Virginia & Southwestern, the Black
Mountain Railway, and the Holston
River Railroad, the last mentioned be-
ing now in process of construction. The
deal gives the Southern direct con-
nection with the Southwest Virginia
coal fields and makes it competitor
of other important lines entering that
region.

100000 Have Heard Bryan.

While no record has been kept by
either Mr.. or Mrs. Bryan of the num-
Der of speeches he has made since 1886,
the number of persons who have in
that time heard him, nor the number
of miles he has travelled, the Democrat
ic chieftain estimates roughly that each
year he has delivered $50 speeches,
Travelled $1,000 miles, spoken on an av-
erage of half an hour each time, and
that his audiences have averaged LOCO
persons The totals that result from
these figures are enormous. They show
that, including his trip around the
world in 1906, Mr.. Bryan has travelled
800, 900 miles since his first defeat for
President, has addressed 3,000,O00 peo-
pie, has spoken 1900 times, and has
talked l,500 hours, or little more than
81 days, which is two full calendar
months.
Mrs. Bryan thinks these averages
are too low.
"But," she added, "we have kept no
record, and | guess my husbands esti-
mate is within hailing distance of the
factn
Mr.. Bryan remarked that in one
year he had spoken an even 100 times
in the "Chautauqua Circuit" besides
delivering political and other addresses
in the same year, and also that in his
campaign of 1900 he spoke as often as
81 times in one day. He also spoke
many times day in the campaign OF
1901 for Judge Parker, to say nothing
of talking from the stump many times
day in various State campaigns.
81 believe, though" he insisted,
.sthat the averages | have mentioned
ofhand are approximately correct. ;"
Then he added, laughingly, ''That
is near enough to the truth for the pur-
pose you have in view"
In spite of the tremendous amount
of work, Mr.. Bryan seems as vigorous
| anu III cNCiy way toudy dS ilC W. sto III
1900. Newspaper men and others who
have travelled with him through both
of his campaigns say they can discover
no diminution of his physical strength
or vocal powers. He weighs today only
about 20 pounds more than he did
when he was first nominated for PreSi
dent, in 1896, although he looks con
siderably larger. He weighs now y:
pounds. His step, however, is not as
springy as it was either L or s years
ago. 1t is noticeable that in rising
suddenly from Il sitting position his
face sometimes evinces a slight pain
as if he were suffering a little from
rheumatic twinges, nor does he arise
from his chair with his old-time alac
rty. His eye, though, is as keen and
his voice as melodious as ever.

WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS
DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS HAVE BONE
GREAT SERVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO
WORK IN STAUNTON

Most StauntOn people work every day
in some strained, unnatural position
bending constantly over desk-riding
on jOlting wagons or carS-dOing labo-
rious housework lifting, reaching or
pulling, or trying the back in a hun
dred and one other ways. All these
strains tend to wear, weaken and in
jure the kidneys until they fall behind
in their work of tiltering the poisons
from the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys, put new strength in
bad backs.
Thomas NJ. Richardson, living in
Cambell, near Luray, Va, says: 81
have used Doan's Kidney Pills and
found that they act as represented. My
kidneys annoyed me great deal. The
secretions were dark in color, painful in
passage, and gave me great difficulty to
control them. ! was scarcely able to
move about on account of the sharp
twinges which caught me at every
movement. | doctored great deal and
used many advertised remedies, but did
not succeed in finding relief until
Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to
my attention and procured a box at a

not suffered the slightest return of the

The heart of p. V. DeGraw, fourth
assistant postmaster-general,i is full to
OverfiOwing because the country has
just had a new year and because out OF
a total of 1897, 1872, 1887 to be expended
for the maintenance of this government
for the next fiscal year he is going to
get S35, 513, 900 for the rural free delivery
system.
This is the largest amount yet appro-
priation for the purpose, the first appro-
priation being only $4,000, appropiat-
ed little more than ten years ago to
establish an experimental route. The
s35, 900 is distributed among SO, 145
carriers, and small portion of it is
used for clerks in charge of small sta
tions, for tolls and for ferry charges.
This is the best appropriation that
Mr.. DeGraw has ever gotten for the
rural free delivery of the country and
he is naturally glad that the time has
come when the money will become
available. Ten years ago when the
first experimental route was placed in
operation hundreds of persons all over
the United States scoffed at the idea of
doing away with the plan then in
operation for having the people in the
rural districts get their mails and to
have the free delivery system operated
in its place. Now the mere mention
of doing away with the system or even
of cutting off any of the routes would
at once bring floods of protests into the
postoffice department from all parts of
the country.
Postmaster-General Myer expects to
obtain an appropriation of $4,000 at
the next session of congress for the
purpose of establishing an experiment.

report made by Mr.. DeGraw for the
fiscal year that ended on June 30, the
sum of $65, 500 was received at the dead
letter office in the envelopes so address,
ed that at the offices of receipts they
could not be delivered.
Every part of Virginia has protited
by the rural delivery system during
the past year, Mr.. DeGraw says, and
those sections that have not taken ad-
vantage of it propably have only them
serves to blame In short time the
annual report showing the number of
routes in operation in Virginia will be
