Death of Cadet Jackman.

Harold Jackman, student of
Wentworth Military Academy,
died at the school Thursday after
noon at five o'clock. Death was
due to peritonitis brought on by
appendicitis. He had been acutely
i'll only since Tuesday and Mon
day he attended the football
game. But soon after he was tax
en- i'll, it was evident that his
chances for recovery were very
slight. He underwent an opera
ton yesterday at two o'clock. He
recovered from the effects of the
anaesthetic, but died soon after
regaining consciousness.
His parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w
C. Jackman, arrived from theil
nome IN EMO, Oklaholhd, at hOOl
and were at their son S bedside
when he passed away.
Cadet Jackman was siXteel
years of age and was spending
his second year at the academy
He was very popular among tn
students and his death has cas-
gloom over the school. Memoria
exercises were held in chape
yesterday afternoon.
His parents took the body ava
on the late train Thursday even
ing. The funeral viii probably b
held at Enid tomorrow.

WENTWORTH 8; K. U. ENDS 6
Cadets Win Hard Battle on Hot
Afternoon.

The Wentworth football eleven
triumphed in its first real hard
game of the season, when Monday
it beat a collection of subs and
scrubs from Kansas University by
a score of 8 to 6. Incidentally the
cadet machine was scored on for
the first time in two seasons.
The afternoon was an ideal one
for tennis or golf or a bierfest or
a swim; but it was not conducive
to ginger on the part Of the pig
skin artists. 1t was warm even for
the spectators. The game, there
fore was slow at times, although
the close score and the uncer-
tainty of the outcome made the
occasion interesting.
The cadets, though heavier tha
last year, are more mweildy and
less experienced. The line was re-
peatedly outcharged by the Kan,
sas forwards and it was due to
Mitchell S allowing himself to be
drawn in that the Kansas scrubs
scored. Riley, the punter, was un
able to get away any of his long
spirals on account of the crum
bling of the line. In the last hall
of the game Owens kicked anC
had more luck in getting away
the ball. This was Riley's first tr,
in fast company and he suffered
seemingly from stage fright. II,
ran well with the ball, however
and played a pretty good defen
sive game. After a little more ex
perience he win be a star of tn
first magnitude.
Owens was the bright light o
the entire game He made all o
Wentworth S scores and neart
all Of the gains. He was the bes
man to run ends, buck the line
tackle or ack. Lennox wgs tn
best of the visitors.
Nearly all of the play was al
ter the old style. All of the fol
ward passes and all of the onsid
kicks, except one, were failures

The Sherwood Recital.

Nllllam Ill. sherwood, director
of The Sherwood Music school at
Chicago and visiting director of
the school of music of Lexington
college at this place, paid his first
semi-annual visit to Lexington
Thursday. He spent the morning
in practice, consultation with the

lege and hearing the playing of
some of the advanced pupils In
the afternoon he gave a lecture
recital to the teachers and stu
dents of the music department.
In the evening he gave a pub
lie program in the college chapel.
Most of the local population that
understands and appreciates the
best in music turned out; but the
audience was not so large as
recital of such merits deserved.
| All of those who were present
felt abundantly repaid for COM
, ing. The entertainment was ex-
ceedingly interesting, instructive
and, though Mr.. Sherwood was
suffering from fatigue and loss
of sleep, artistically gratifying.
The program was one of gem
erous dimensions and admirably
: selected and arranged. There was
not dry or severely classical
d number on it and in its entirety
it was presented with the nerve
and brilliancy that have made
= Mr.. Sherwood a figure Of world
, wide prominence.
He began by the Liszt arrange
y ment of Mendelssohn's Wedding
. March. The original and more
familiar march is beautiful and
the wonderful arrangement make
Il it composition of the most sat
isfying qualities. When playing
1t such a number Mr.. Sherwood is
