Van Buren. forecasting the results oi

quisition Of the Library of Congress
1t is a unique specimen, and, perhaps
gives a crude idea of some OF the
fallacies of our grandfathers. The fol-
lowing is an extract; Il have opened
the horoscope for Gen. Harrison,
which accords with the chief events
of his past life and which. if right,
he will not fill the Office of president
during the next term. even if elected.
And the danger I apprehend to your
self Is not from your public opponents,

Democrats and republicans alike are
talking about progressive men for Of
nee ia the coming election The only
way to determine whether a man is
progressive is to measure up what he
has done and is doing and what he
stands for in the way of general pro

have made It as hard as they possibly
could for the council to pave streets

PRAISE FOR MAeiDsoHN.
Pennsylvania Papers Claim He is a
Second Ted Cow

The following from a well known
football critic from Philadelphia is
very complimentary to Magidsohn
Michigan's fleet halfback.
mo halfback on Franklin Field this
season has shown the brilliance and
steadiness of Magidsohn, Michigan's
stock halfback. He scored both touch
downs and nine times out of ten was
ordered to carry the ball. His stamina
was wonderful, and although he did
the work of two backs in the first half
he played through the 35-minute halves
and seemed as strong at the finish as
at the beginning.
His wonderful performance on Sat-
urday will not soon be forgotten. Sure
ly Coy, of Yale. could not have over
Swallowed Magidsohn Saturday. First
of all he has the football instinct. He
is speedy, knows how to dodge and
ward off tacklers and has the strength
to put drive behind mis- rushes. on
the defense he was just as good. and
there were few plays in which Magid-
sohn was not conspicuous"

the Gophers take Michigan into camp
by a good margin, and | am expecting
them to do so, they will deserve the
