No disparagement of his successor

the government should intervene with
its established rule of not continuing a

Neither Major Richie nor Major Kel-
Ter would be interviewed on the sug-
gestion that administration politics
may have been the chief factor in de
termining the transfer of those two
officers, Major Keller coming from
Detroit. where for five years he has
been in charge Of the lake surveys
and the rivers and harbOrs of that dis
trict It is known, however. that the
aggressiveness of Major Richie in the
development of the Mississippi and
other waterways under his charge has
not been pleasing to the railroads.
On more than one occasion he has pub
licly criticised the railroads for their
systematic opposition to the Missis
sippi as an avenue of transportation.
In his last annual report Major Richie
proved by facts and figures that rail
road rates are materially lower on
lines paTalleling a navigable wat erway
than they are between points. citing
similar distances, where there is not
water competition. Therefore it was
to be expected that Major Richie would
draw the fire of the railroad lobby at
Washington, although this is emphat-
ically denied. At any rate. Major
Richie is removed from the job.

fer was received Saturday evening at

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

The Tigers have issued challenges
through all the Denver PAPERS for
game with the eastern slope cham
pions for the championship of the
state to be played some time in the
early part of December. The orange
and black are now undisputed cham
pions of the western slope and are in
a position to force a game with the
eastern teams.
Lamar has been eliminated and
Longmont and Colorado Springs are
now leading and they will play on
Thanksgiving day while the locals are
playing Salt Lake City, After that
time arrangements will be made for
post season game early in December
for the title of state champions. The
locals feel sure that hard tussle
with the Mormons, win, lose or draw,
will put them in great shape for the

SCHOOL NOTES

An earnest effort will be made this
year 20 give the poor of our city a
happy Thanksgiving. The teachers
are making greater effort than usual
because II has been reported that
more people are in need than in pre-
ceding years. We believe the boys
and girls throughout our schools will
be glad to contribute provisions and
money for this noble purpose. The
executive committee consists of the
principals of the ward schools. with
Miss Helen A. Dewey as chairman.
Next week Miss Nellie d. Scott,
Miss Julia T. Carlson, Miss Helen NJ
Decker and Superintendent Allen will
attend the Colorado State Teachers
association in Denver The board of
education has given leave of absence
to all teachers who desire to attend
this educational gathering. believing
that great benefit will accrue to the
schools from their attendance. This
year the S. T. A. promises to have a
much larger attendance than before,
because many schools on the eastern
slope are closed for the week in order.
that the teachers may attend the
meeting.
This morning in high school as
sembly Professor Paul Valtinke held

His variety of expression is truly
wonderful. After playing to the high
school the professor went to the
Whittier building and played two
fine selections.
Next week school will close as
usual Wednesday afternoon at $3.50

NOTED INDIAN BISHOP
WILL SPEAK TONIGHT

An opportunity to hear one of the
foremost missionaries of the times is
afforded by the presence in the city
of Bishop w. F. Oldham of the NJ. E.
church. Bishop Oldham is native
of India and although he was educat-
ed in this country he has spent most
of his life in the orient.
No charge will be made for the lee
ture although it will probably be of
as great benefit as any for which
large admission price has been asked
in the past. The bishop is on his
way to his home after spending sew
eral months in America.
Everyone is invited to meet the
bishop at the Methodist church this
evening.

KEEP YOUR BOWELS
REGULAR
in NATURES WAY.

II your bowels did not move for week
OF ten days you would be down sick. It's
4he same result, differing only in degree,
when your bowels do not move regularly
at least once every day. You become con-
stipated, your blood gets bad, and you feei
sick all over. To avoid such serious con-
ditions take Smiths Pineapple and Butter
nut Pills. They will drive bowel poison
out of your system and establish regularity
These little pills are purely vegetable and
work wonderful results in one night.
Remember that bowel poison is thedirect
cause of slow, wasting fevers, loss of mem
ory, female weakness, nervous prostratioR
and general debility. Bowel poison leads
on to misery and death as surely as consti-
patton or heart disease; the well-advised
use of Smiths Pineapple and Butternut
Pills will cure and establish bowel, stomach
and liver health. Sick at night, well in the
morning Physicians use and recommend.
They form no habit. You should always
keep them on hand. These little Vegeta-
BILE Pills will ward off many ills.

Gopher games. The pair are un-

ever appeared on Gopher
eleven.
Last season McGovern was the
selection for All America quar-
terback, and the honors will be

Had Johnston not broken his leg
in the game with Nebraska last
year he would have undoubtedly
been given a place on the All
America. This year he is entitled
to one Of the halfback positions.
All season he has shone brilliant
ly. He Is one of the best dodgers
that ever appeared on the west
ern gridiron. Johnston, although
not as spectacular as his team
mate, McGovern, is every bit as
valuable. Both boys are work
ing their way through school and
will graduate next year. AL
though his leg was broken in the
game with Nebraska last season,
the plucky halfback refused to
remain in bed. His physician
permitted him to sit in a rolling
chair for a few days, but John
ston had football on the brain,
and the Gophers' games with
Chicago and Wisconsin were at
hand He demanded that the
doctors allow him to see the two
games. His request was granted.

Johnston was being rolled up

he become at times that he could
hardly keep his broken leg at rest.
