FOOT BALL
Penn Fl, Parsons o.

The football game at Fairfield yes
terday between Parson College and
Penn College proved victory for the
Quakers. by score of q to 0.
AS the story goes, the Penn team
played very poor ball the first half,
while on the other hand their oppon-
ents were very fast, but did not sue
coed in scoring. At three different
times in the first half, Penn had the
ball within three yards of the Par,
sons goal line, but were unable to
put it over.
The second half, however, contains
a different story. Perrier recovered a
punt and after long run made a
touchdown. Purdy also recovered a
punt and ran, through the entire OPP
posing team for touchdown. This
put ginger into the Penn team and by
some good line bucks BY Smith they
tailed two more touchdowns. Penn
was penalized 60 yards during the
second half for off side plays. S. Wat
son did some exceptionally fast work
and although the entire team were
star, Perriel Williams, Smith and
Purdy did very good work. Perriel
nd Williams were fast on recovering
punts and AL Smith had any member
on the opposing team beat when II
came to punting. A large crowd OF
Fairfield boosters were at the game
and the. thirty-fve students of Penn
who accompanied the team, report
that they were treated royalty by the
Fairfield students. On the return triI
they were compelled to wait in Brigh
ton three hours.
The Penn lineup was as follows:
B. Watson, center; C. Hinshaw, RICH
guard; c. Terrell, left guard; w. Tia
Dor, right tackle; S. Watson, lef
tackle; G. Perrier,, right end; R. Will
Jams, left end; o. Purdy, quartel
back; A. Smith, right half; J. Ruby
full back; H. Colville, left half. Subs
Meredith, Mendenhall and Hibbs.

Snow Accompanies Lightning.


The snow storm OF Monday morn
ing was accompanied by an unusuai
electrical display, the like OF which
has never before been noted by the
oldest inhabitants. While the snow
was falling thickest between five ana
six O'Clock, the heavens would be
lighted up by fash after flash OF llsnt'
ming that seemed to be playing above
the clouds. The entire surface OF the
clouds would be brightly lighted up
for a number of seconds and then
darkness would prevail for moment
Then the clouds would be iIlumined by
another deep red fash starting from
another quarter of the heavens. Some
times the flashes followed each other
in such rapid succession that the
landscape would be lighted for the
space of a minute or more. But the
strange and unusual thing of the phe.
nomenon was the absence of-all thli1i.
der. Not a sound was heard during
the entire time, of the unusual and
peculiar storm. The stiffness seemed
unreal and strangely out of place and
impressed one with sense of the un'
canny.

THE new INTERURBAN
Right-of-Way Wanted Between Ed
dyville and 0skaloosa.

Col T. p. spillman, of Ottumwa, is
in the city, and viii put in the next
two weeks between Oskaloosa and
Eddyville in, the interests OF the OF
tumwa and Oskaloosa Interurban.
Mr.. Spillman is asking no bonus.
has no stock for sale, but is asking
simply the right of way. and if this
is secured the line will be built.
Practically every inch of the right
of way between Ottumwa and Eddy
Vile, via Kirkville has been secur-
ed, and the people along that end
of the line are enthusiastic for the
work of construction to be started.
Mr. Spillman says that between Ed
dyville and Oskaloosa the people have
not warmed up to the subject, as he
had hoped they would, but he is con-
WINGED that when the advantages of
an interurban can be shown them,
that he will find them as willing to
push the project as are the people on
the other end of the line.
The survey passes between the old
town of Muchakinock and Givin, and
comes directly north into Oskaloosa,
entering the city on South b Street.
The history of interurbans is that
their construction not only adds to
the convenience of the people along
the route. but also adds very mater.
tally to the value of the farm land
adjacent thereto. This seems like an
excellent chance to get line that
has long been talked of, which would
be a great boon, not only to the cities
at either end, but to every resident
within five miles of the road.
The preliminary company is or
ganized in Ottumwa, with T. D. Eos
ter as president, and they are deter
minted to have an interurban to Os
kaloosa, If not by the present survey
then by some other route.

IN FIFTH SERMON, DEALS
WITH CAREER OF JOSEPH
Rev. j. w. Shoaff Emphasizes Ground
less Fear and Spirit of Mercy
and Forgiveness

Rev. ]. w. Shoaff, D. D., pastor of
Trinity Methodist Episcopal church
south, last night gave the fifth of his
series on the Life and Times of
Joseph" reviewing the story from the
second visit of Joseph's brethren to
Egypt to the meeting of Joseph anr
his father Jacob. The speaker said in
part:
How often guilty fear misinterprets
divine as well as human kindness.
When Joseph's brethren were usherel
into his home they were alarmed be-
cause they thought some evil was
about to Overtake them. Their fears
were -groundless. Joseph had not sum-
moned them to trial, but to his royal
hospitality. Their guilty past led them
to suspect the meaning of present good.
This same spirit is often manifest in
the lives Of sinful men. How often we
give ourselves to doubt and fear. When
God appears to us in the cloud we are
too prone to think that vengeance is
enthroned in it's blackness, whereas be-
hind its frowning folds angels of
mercy wait to do US service.
I'VE may learn something Of the tests
that are applied to personal character
Joseph tested his brethren to see if
they were penitent over their guilty
past. You may be unconscious of ii,
but those with whom you are thrown in
ing your aptitudes for work but the
habits of your life. My young friend
that company that has your bond may
know far more about your life than
you realize. You may be unconscious
of it, but they are weighing you in the
balance now. Are you attentive or un-
attentive to business? They know it,
Are you economical? They know it.
Are you extravagant? They know it.
Leg me assure you that the business
world takes two kinds of risk into ac-
count-fnancial risk and moral risk.
have known banking houses to refuse
! loans when the best collaterals were Of
fered as security because the moral risk
was too great. These tests are going
on constantly. Probably you have had
q. pleasant surprise since the beginning
Of this year of grace, in the way of
promotion. You wonder how it came
ABOUT. When the store had to be swept
out and many petty things had to be
done, that some young men think be-
meath their dignity, you did the work
at hand with a hearty good viii and
your employer found you had a will as
well as a capacity for work Not only
are men testing u.s. but, above all, God
is testing US.
From the story of the evening learn
the lesson of mercy and forgiveness.
Did Joseph show a forgiving spirit? So
should we. Love is the measure both
of goodness and greatness. He who
has the most to forgive has the grea test
reason for cultivating forgiving spirit
To love a friend is human, but to love
an anenly is Godlike."
