handed them by the Towner
team in the Forestry gymnas-
ium Friday evening, by a score
of 28 to 25, in which is consid-

The home team seemed to be
under the effects of stage fright,
especially in the first half
when Towner had everything
their way to the tune Of 20 to 6.
However between halves a few
stern words from the coach put
a lesson in the Forestry boys
and they played excellent ball
in the last half and had things
coming fine when the whistle
blew and the game ended %
to 25.

our boys is that they were fol-

CHICKEN PARAL YSIS.
A New Disease Has Appeared Among
Domestic Fowls.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Are fowls sub
ject to infantile paralysis? Poultry
fanciers in this vicinity are said to
hold an affirmative view,- and the
deaths of many chickens and ducks
that have occurred recently are as
cribed to the disease. The symptoms
shown are said to be different from
anv heretofore observed among ailing
poultry but are strikingly suggestive of
those shown by children afflicted with
paralysis. The disease among the
fowls whatever it may be has become
epidemic.
DR.. e. c. Schroeder, in charge of the
experimental station of the bureau of
animal industry for the government,
has made an examination of two of the
fowls in an effort to ascertain If in
fantile paralysis was the cause of their
deaths.
Il am not at all certain" said DR..
Schroeder, that the fowls were aff1ict-
ed with infantile paralysis, but If sucn
is the case some means should be taken
at once to stop the spread of the dis
ease. If the fowls are affected 1t would
no doubt be quite possible for them TO
communicate the disease to human be-
ings. and they would be source OF
great danger in the community"

HE BUILDS A CHURCH.
SaIoonkeeper Finds a Way to Drive
Rival Out of Business.

New York, Sept. 19.-New York has
a spite church. erected, it is said, as
a result of the business rivalry of two
saloonkeepers in the Bronx. The church,
a little wooden building, was opened
for worship yesterday with a congrega-
ton of 30 persons.
For some time the liquor trade in
the neighborhood has been divided be-
tween two saloonkeepers, whose busl-
ness rivalry has been KEEN There is a
state law which forbidS the keeping Oh
saloon within 200 feet of church.
One of the Saloonkeepers, it is said, de-
cided that there could be no more ef-
fective way of putting a rival out OF
business than building a church near
enough to him to compel him to close
up when his license ran out.
The property upon which the new
congregation will pray belongs TO tne
saloonkeeper and was donated by him
for the purpose. The other liquor men
asserts that the structure was plainly
erected to force him out of business
and he is angry. He declares that ne
will retaliate by taking steps to bullo
another church on property owned by
a relative within 200 feet OF his rival )
door The result may be that both men
will be forced out of business
The mission authorities who are IN
charge of the new house of worship de-
cline to be drawn into the contro-
versy.

our regular lines,'' said the pastor
without thought of any controversies
with which we have nothing to do"

7DEARTH OF TEACHERS.
Some Schools in Kansas Have Been
Unable to Open.

Kansas is shy son school teachers.
Several schools in the rural sections of
western Kansas. have not yet been able
to open on account of the scarcity of
teachers.
Something must be done by the
state to relieve the situation said
John Macdonald of the Kansas School
Journal. who conducts a free employ
ment agency for teachers as side
issue. 1T is almost impossible now to
get men teachers in the rura! schools,
for the reason that they can make
more money elsewhere. A good able
bodied man can even make more
money as a farm hand than he can as
rural teacher The low wages pre-
vailing are driving men teachers out of
the rural schools
ut isn't the fault of the school
boards that wages are low. The law
is to blame. 1t fixes a tax levy of so
much for school purposes. Most of the
rural school boards levy tax up to
the limit and yet do not get enough
money to run the schools over five or
six months, paying the teachers less
than living wages at that"
Whats the remedy?
Estate aid for weak districts An
appropriation of 100000 to be used to
help weak districts would do a won
derful lot of good. We are spending
millions on our university and other
state educational institutions. but are
neglecting our common schools. Mich
igan for many years did the same
thing, but it is now giving some at
tention to rural schools. too. Kansas
must come to it -

ON WHY "rHE FOURTH ESTATE .
Phrase Used to Denote the Press Was
Coined in Britain.

TT is a curious thing how quickly
words and expressions will find their
wav into even literary English, and
then gradually lose their foothold. A
few davs ago, it was announced that a
new play called 1.-THE Fourth Estate"
would receive production at the Grand
next Friday evening. 1t is safe to say
that forty or fifty years ago, no one
would have been in doubt as to the
meaning of the title. Today, however,
one man in ten may be familiar with
it's origin and application Messrs-
Iiebler & Company, producers of the
pIay, have found this to be the case,
even among persons endowed with
higher education.
1.-The Fourth Estate is phrase
used to denote the press Had it been
coined by less eminent lips 1t might
have passed into the category OF slang
but, as it is, it has survived for over
century. In the olden days, when the
germs of constitutional government
had begun to bear fruit, it was Gus
tornarv to make legislative bodies
representative of three classes, the
first. second and third estates, viz, the
mobiles. the clergy and the masses, or,
as in England. the lords temporal and
spiritual, and the commons When
the press began to WELD power COM
mensurate with that of the three orig
inaI estates. it began to be jocularly
known as "the fourth estate. Ed

to shore to be caught by Roy Rock
we'll of this city, who waded into the
water and caught a rope thrown by
Larsen.
Larsen wanted to continue the trip,
but having accomplished the worst
part of the journey, he was persuaded
to-board trolley to Lewiston, setting
the boat adrift.

through in 1864 to avoid seizure, Lar
sens is the only engine propelled craft
to have gone through the rapids.

the rapids safely in barrels. No one
else has ever passed through the rap

Niagara Falls. n. Y, Sept. 19.-Cap-
tain Klaus Larsen, in his little motor
boat. the Ferro, made a successful
trip from the foot of the cataract
through the whirlpool rapids to within
a mile of Lewiston, a distance of four
and one-half miles He started from
the Maid of the Mist dock at 4:45 Sun
day afternoon and ran on rock near
the American shore at $50.
Despite the battering of the whirl-
pool rapids, Larsen went through safe
ly. but his boat was leaking badly at
the finish and through the trip. Lar
sen had intended to start at 2:30
O'Clock but he was delayed by engine

speed, and was caught in the swift
drift where the river begins it's rush

Larsen held to the middle of the
channel and in less than three minutes
had made the great pool In the trip
through the rapids, the little boat was
lost to sight most of the time, but at
Great Wave it was shot 20 feet out of
the water. The boat landed right and
continued to the pool. Larsen kept to
the outer edge of the pool and passed
out and down without accident. Just
as he left the pool, the engine stopped
working and Larsen was at the mercy
of the waters hardly less violent than
those above.
The little boat swung around, the
stern first, and turned completely over.

here on Larsen was a mere plaything

side to the other. After getting through

ward the rocks on the American side
of the river, rolled over one boulder
