Brussels, Dec. 17-All Brussels
mourns today. The flags on all pub
lie buildings are at half mast and
private houses are draped with crepe.
The body of the late king. clothed
in the uniform of lieutenant gen.
eral, remains in the chamber of the
palms, where death entered last
night. 1t is surrounded only by
those who in life had won and re-
tanned the kings friendship.
The expression on the dead mon
arch's face is peaceful, as though his
end was painless.
The body will be placed in a cas-
ket this evening, when the period of
mourning will officially begin.
Immediately following the death of
King Leopold, two nuns laid out the
body and the preparations were made
for carrying it to the city proper.
The obsequies will take place a.
the Collegiate Church of ST. Gudula.
King Leopold died, as he had lived,
relentlessly repulsing his exiled
daughters and clinging closely to his
favorites.
At deaths brink, when he insisted
upon closing up certain private bust
ness negotiations, he was unable to
escape the influence of his great pas
sion-that for work and material
gain.
Princess Louise of Belgium, the
oldest of the three daughters, arrived
here today.
On Thursday Prince Albert will
take the oath as king.

According to press dispatches, this
will come to pass, but it is also limited
that Mr. Miller will not be out of job

The following dispatch, under a
Chicago date line, will be of interest:
Plans are being perfected in New
separation Of the Rock Island-Frisco
system. 1t practically has been ar
ranged that H. U. Nudge, now second
vice president of the Rock Island, will
succeed w. L. Winchell as president.
Mr. Winchell is to follow B. F.. Yoakum
to the Frisco and become its president.
succeeding A. J. Davidson, recently re-
signed.
1t is understood that the separation
of the two systems will necessitate the
retirement from the Eastern Illinois of
II. I. Miller, its president. 1t is more
than likely that Mr.. Miller will have
no successor unless Mr.. Winchelrs ju-
risdiction be extended to cover that
road, which is the property Of the Frs-
co. What will become of President
Miller has not been determined. but it
is assumed that he will be given a
place in the Moore family There is
some talk of his succeeding Mr.. Yoa-
KUN as chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the Rock Island. with head
quarters in New York. There is also
talk of abolishing this position and
making Mr.. Miller second vice presi-
dent of the Rock Island. Mr.. Nudge
and Mr.. Miller were hastily summoned
to New York yesterday.
Will Be Restored.
1t is understood that the details of
the official changes have nearly all
been worked out, and they mean that
the Rock Island will be restored to al
most its original position when the
Moores and D. G. Reid and w. b.
Leeds secured control of it. The TAX
ing back Of the Frisco by Mr.. Yoakum
will cut the Rock Island off from any
connection with the Eastern Illinois
and Evansville and Terre Haute roads.
and consequently from the enjoyment
of a Chicago-St. Louis line. The East.
ern Illinois undoubtedly will be moved
from the La Sale Terminal into its
former home, the Polk Street Station.
as soon as the Western Indiana builds
a new terminal, if not before.
1t is understood that the separation
deal which will require nearly 500
100000 in cash. is being financed By
Speyer & Co, of New York, and by Ed
win F. Hawley and his syndicate.

Wayne County Sportsmen Pay
S2,1O0 in Three Years to
Hunt Game, But the Fields
Not ReStoCked.
COUNTY is IGNORED
BY THE GAME WARDEN
Hunting Law Requires One
third of Money Paid for L.
Censes Shall Be Used in Re-
stocking Fields.

In the past three years. S2,1O0 has
been turned over to state game war
den, Il. T. Sweeney of Columbus, Ind.
by County Clerk Harry +. Penny.
This was received from the sale Of
hunters licenses. However,, not one
cent of benefit has this county receiv-
ed from the amount turned over to
the state and many complaints have
been made by local sportsmen over
this fact.
The hunting laws of the state pro-
vide that One-third of the amount re-
ceived from hunting licenses shall be
expended by the game warden in re-
stocking the forests of the state with
native animals and birds. In event
this bad been done in this county, the
county would have benefited to the
extent of $500 worth of game animals
and birds.
1t is not provided in the law t'lat
the money shall be expended in this
proportion in the counties from which
it is received
A Goat Long Enough.
The sportsmen of this county have
been the goat" Just long enough, they
think. A petition will probably be
drawn up and presented to Mr.. Swee-
ney, asking him to recognize Wayne
county, because the local sportsmcn
have been liberal "spenders.
This year, County Clerk Penny has
issued 463 licenses. The licenses were
nearly all issued during the past
month, as the hunting season did not
open until November 10. A few licen-
ses were issued in October. Yester-
day the clerk sent receipt for $463
to Mr.. Sweeney. The record for the
past month does not equal that of the
corresponding month of last year,
when more than 500 licenses were
issued.
Mr.. Penny. who is sportsman him
self. sympathizes with the complaints
of the other sportsmen and has reg
istered an individual kick" He also
complains because the law requires
him to issue the licenses but does net
give him any compensation, by fees,
such as it is usual when public Off
cias are required to do duties, not
entirely regular. In addition to this
the county clerks have to pay out OF
their own pockets for postage and
other incidentals in sending their re-
ports to Mr. Sweeney

"Baby" Class at EarIham Yes
terday Afternoon Won the
First Annual Tug-of- f-War by
Hard Work,
LOSING CLASS FOUND
WATER QUITE CHILLY
Victors Credit Victory to a
Practice "Tug" in Which
They Pulled Down a Tree
A Big Crowd Out.

The Freshmen ducked the Sopho-
mores at Earlham College yesterday
afternoon in the cold water of the col
lege pond and won the tug of war con-
eight big sophomores had to wade the
pond, five feet deep. and cross over 20
the freshmen's side.
The victory for the freshmen is due
to the efforts and work of George
Hughes, the class president and leader
of the contest for that class. Every
freshman was expected to do his duty
and help pull the sophomores. if not,
he was to be ducked. Monday even
ing the freshmen took a large rope and
went to the woods nearby, tied the
rope to tree, and by their steady.
even pull, uprooted the tree This
preliminary practice by the lower class
men, aided them greatly in the contest
yesterday afternoon.
Sophomores Outnumbered.
The sophomores were handicapped
by the absence of their leader. ''Deak"
Reagan. from the line. Reagan has
suffered from sore throat and was un-
able to pull. This class also had but
thirty-eight men. which was ten less
than the freshmen. They worked
hard at first. however, and when bot,
classes began to pull, the rope stretch
ed several yards. The sophomores
could not hold their ground after the
freshmen began their steady pull. and
at the rate of about six inches at a
time, the sophomores were forced to
cross the pond.
The ducking of the sophomores was
witnessed by about four hundred peo-
Pile. Everyone from the college was
at the pond and many from the city.
The contest was for the purpose of
testing the strength and supremacy
of the two classes and was arranged
by the two upper classes and the facul-
ty committee on student affairs
A large rope was placed across the
pond and each member of the two
classes was lined up with his class on
opposite sides of the pond. When the
referees blew their whistles. each class
began to pull. Gradually the sopho-
mores were forced into the pond and
then across.
The water was deep and cold AMI
