MEN MET HERE.
Officials who Have Charge Of the Rate Adjustment
for Winfield Take UP the Matter with the
Winfield Commercial Club.

Monday aftern DON a meeting be-
tween representatives of the four
Winfield lines and the rate commit
tee Of the Winfield Commercial Club
was held in the insurance office of
Y. NJ. Campbell & Co., this city, at
which were discussed matters Of the
utmost Importance to every citizen
OF this city.
The WINFIELD Commercial Club
has been organized since December
4th, 1909, and has devoted it's entire
attention to the adjustment of VIM
field rates, and the meeting Monday
was the result Of their efforts. The
representatives advised the rate COM
mittee that they we're unable to give
definite reply to their demands in
every particular until authority was
received from their connecting lines,
but upon the railway representatives
agreeing to give definite reply by the
end Of February, 1910, the Winfield
Commercial Club agreed to withhold
their complaint, which is practically
ready to be filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, until the
expiration Of that time.
Outbound rates to points on the
Louisiana & Arkansas Railway equal
in every respect to those in effect
from Alexandria and Shreveport
were assured and will no doubt be
published at an early date, and
other lines assured the Committee
! that they would adjust outbound
rates to their satisfaction.

Wednesday the 19tn was celebrated
at the high school in honor of the
memory of Robert &. Lee, the COM
manding general Of the Confederate
armies during the Civil War. An
elaborate program had been formu-
lated by the faculty and the Daughters
Of the Confederacy and Veterans
were invited to participate.
The auditorium, which seats about
800, was packed to the doors with the
school children and visitors. The
stage was used for participants in the
program and Confederate Veterans.
From the opening song of t'Dixie,"
by the children, to the dismissal Of
the audience by Prof. Robinson, not
a mistake occurred to mar the pro-
ceedings. "Dixie", Maryland, My
MarylandN, and america" were
beautifully rendered by the pupils,
under the direction Of Miss Gibson,
Prof. Gilbert and Miss Durham pre-
siding at the piano.
The essay on our distinguished
leader, read by Mrs. Gamble, was a
splendid tribute, beautifully worded
and eloquently rendered. "The Con-
quered Banner recited by Miss
Mary Wood, and the "sword of Lee',
by Miss Blanche Jones, captured the
audience by the splendid rendition
of the beautiful lines by the charming
Southern girls who recited these

PENNSY FIREMEN
FOUGHT MANY FIRES

The annual report Of the Insurance
Department Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road system, just issued. shows that
the company's own employees extin-
guished 32l fires during 1909. These
fires occurred on property valued at
more than S9,000.OO0. yet the loss from
them amounted TO only about $4,000
The Insurance Departments report
derives added significance from the
fact that during the past year addi-
tional equipment for extinguishing fires
has been placed at available points.
During the year 1909 there were 900
fires on the entire system, involving
a loss Of only $402.615, which was ex-
ceedingly small. comparatively as the
value Of the property was more than
$3.50. 900, 900.
Forty fires, entailing a loss OF sil07a
started on adjacent property. spantane-
Gus combustion was responsible for a
loss of S10315 from p fires. Two fires
resulted from careless handling ~
lighted cigars, cigarettes and matches
caused a loss Of $50 1896. Nine fires

company Of s1.270. and 2S fires, with a
loss Of s2s,670, were Of inccndiary orr

,lENTEN PENITENCE.
BEGINS TOMORROW
Solemn Season Of Year to be
Observed Generally by
Churches

Lent. the most solemn period OF the
Christian year and the season OF abste-
riousness, .penitence and seif-denial. will
begin to-morrow--Ash Wednesday. The
observance Is general throughout the
world among Catholic, Greek. Anglican,
Episcopal. Lutheran and Reformed
churches. Many Of the Protestant church
es are now beginning 10 observe it. To-
day-shrove Tuesday--was celebrated in
al Catholic churches.
During Lent the faithful of the various
churches are supposed 70 refrain from the
gaieties Of the world. Tile theatre Is for
hidden. and no party or social entertain
ment Is given. So strict are the rules that
in the Catholic Church no marriage is
performed. These regulations have affect
ed the social world, for Ash Wednesday
marks the close OF the social season. In
the churches there are many additional
services. this especially being true OF the
Catholic and Episcopal.
Lent has been observed from tho re-
notest days. II was not until the year
SO however. that the date for all Cath
olics was fixed from Ash wednesday to
Holy Saturday inclusive. The Sundays
of Lent are not considered fast days, thus
making tho season 40 days long This
typines the 40 days fast OF the Saviour
Tho season grows in solemnity until Good
Friday. when the crucihxion OF Christ Is
commemorated with special services. The
time OF gloom ends. however, in Joy on
Easter Day, when the triumph OF the !
Man God over the grave Is celebrated |
with rejoicing.
The English word Lent comes from the |
Anglo-saxon 'Iencten" meaning spring |
II gradually superseded the Latin word |
Quadragesima," meaning forty, for the !
reason that the fast always came during |
Lencten OF spring.
There is no material change in tho GUS
tomsry observances prescribed by tho |
catholic Church. All persons moro than
In years old. uniess exempt by dlspensa-
tion. are required TO fast which means /
shat only one full meal a day Is allowed. |
Meat is permitted once on Mondays. Tues /
days. Thursdays and Saturdays. with the |
exception OF the second and last Saturdays |
OF Lent. on Sundays meat is allowed TO /
be eaten at all meals, but on Wednesdays |
and Fridays meat is forbidden.

A few days of hard practice are all
that remain for the varsity men OF
Stanford and California. This week
and possibly one or two days next
week the men will be drilled, and then
rest will be declared for the hnaI
test of November L.
During the remainder of the season
the danger of players getting injured
becomes the great bugbear for the
coaches. At Stanford Stan Mitchell
sustained q bad wrench to his ankle,
while Doc Schaupp, one of the most
promising of forwards is completely
out with a broken ankle. Other in
juries are minor, though ARIEL is in
q serious way.
Coach Schaeffer has been fortunate
with his men, and the last seven days
will be anxious ones for fear that ac-
cident will swoop down and blight the
Blue and Gold hopes at the last min
ute.
James Jenkinson of Vancouver Is the
popular choice as referee for the big
game this year. The man who has
given satisfaction for three straight
years has been invited to officiate
again and will be formally chosen at

Ivan Kahn, the popular local anna
teur welterWeight, is familiar figure
along the rialto once more and de-
clares that his European trip did him a
world of good. Kahn Investigated box
ing conditions in the various European
countries and has some interesting
stories to tell of the way the fistic
game is conducted across the pond.
Ivan is firmly of the belief that he
was robbed in his battle with Sam Gill
yer for the amateur Welterweight
championship of the world. The bat
tie was originally scheduled for fif-
teen rounds but Oliver refused to go
over six and this limit was agreed
upon a few days before the fight. Kahn
claims that he was holding up his OPP
ponent during the last two rounds, be-
cause the spectators Kissed him for
hard hitting, and when the fight ended
confidently expected the decision, but
to his surprise. the Englshman was
given the verdict, evidently says Ivan,
because he was on his feet at the fin
ish"
Berlin was visited by the local boy
during his trip and proved full of
surprises. cover there" declares Kahn,
they have a funny way of boxing to
music, which furnished a great deal
of amusement for me. Also a man is
disqualified for hitting too hard. This
would be a great place for some of the
local scrappers with feather-duster
punches"
Ivan is looking much heavier than
when he left and would most probably
| be obliged to enter the mlddleweight
| division If he again essayed the fight
game, with which, however, he de-
| clares he is through.

SINGING OF HYMN
Proceeds AUTO RACE
Auto Racers Pay Tribute to LiV-
ingStone, Who Was Killed
in Atlanta
(Associated Press)

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 3.-A drama
new to American automobile racing
was enacted on the speedway just be-
fore the start of the 100-mile race
today.
With the strains of Nearer My God
to Thee" flowing from the grandstand
band, nine big racing cars lined up at
the starting wire, their engines stilled
for fifteen minutes while their drivers,
with barred heads, waited for the last
prayer to be said in another part of the
city at the funeral of AL Livingstone,
who was to have started in the 100
mile race, but who was killed in prac-
tice here two days ago.
After the hymn there was a long
silence, respected by all the thousands
in the enclosure. Suddenly the band
started a two-step, the racing engines
coughed, and Livingstone, 1.-The king OF
the dirt track" had passed forever
from speedway events. New speed
kings were throwing the clutches into
position, and the big race was on.
Joe Dawson, in a Marmon, jumped
into the lead and held it for ninety
eight miles, when he was nearly TWO
minutes ahead of the official American
record for 100 miles for class B cars.
Then a shaft broke and he stopped at
the pits for repairs. Six miles BEHIND
were his nearest rivals, GelndW al
car and knights Wescott, which for
more than ninety miles had been run
ming nose and nose, often with scarcely
an arms length separating them In
the last half mile Gelnaw pulled ahead
and won by 100 yards from Knight.
Dawson returned to the race just IN
time to take third place. Heinemann's s
Marmon and Basle's Pope-Harttord'
both contenders up to the seventeen
mile, were hopelessly handicapped by
bearing and tire troubles respectively.
Time of winner was 1862.
Bob Burman was left at the post by
a quarter of a mile in the en-mlles
ree-for-all His car was started final
ly by daring feat of his mechanic,
Howard Hall. He seized the cranklng
rod. and with the speed still on gave
the engine it's first turn. His arm was
wrenched painfully by the jerking en-
gine. but this same jerk helped to toss
him to one side out of danger as the
car leaped forward straight toward
him. Burman, still visibly agitated,
drove madly, passing every driver eX
cent Caleb Bragg, in a Fiat, in the FIRST
mile and q half. Bragg's engine worked
badly and Burman won easily.
The races will continue for two days
more. Tomorrow there will be eight
events. featured by a 200-mile race.
