The wolves that two years ago
pestcred the farmers of Nicollet eoun-
ty, have disappeared. w. f. Hcnd-
ley, one of the prosperous farmers of
Nicollct, who saw ten wolves in a
bunch near his place two years ago.
states that there are none reported
anywhere in the neighborhood this fall.
He believes that the hunting that
was done for them two winters ago
resulted in the entire determination
OF the band.
Mr.. Hendley has a fine flock of
sheep, but these were never the prey
OF the wolves. as he always corralled
them at night, and his four house
dogs made the wolves wary about
entering his premises. However, they
got lot of his poultry.
Mrs Hendley is daughter of Cor
oner L. r. Kennedy. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hendley last evening entertained Dep
uty Auditor C. L. Kennedy and son
and the reporters for the daily pa
pers at bountiful and well prepared
supper at their farm. eleven and a
half miles from this city. The supper
came after squirrel hunt through the
broad stretches of heavy timber that
come up to Mr.. Hendlcy's door yard.
Gray and red squirrels and cartridges
were seen, but hunters have thinned
their ranks so much that good deal
OF walking and cfambering up and
down ravines is needed to see much
game.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hendley have beau
tiful farm of 2l3 acres of highly pro.
ductive land, and the future has no
misgivings for them.

From the persistent manner in which
Sunday baseball league in several of
the more lively Southern Minnesota
cities is being discussed it would seem
that Mankato fans will be extremely
apt to have a chance at league base
ball another summer.
The latest regarding such league
comes from Albert Lea and appears in
The Tribune of that city rs follows:
Talking with well known Mankato
sportsman who has been prominently
identified with the team in that city,
the proposed Sunday baseball league
for Southern Minnesota and believe it
would do more to stimulate interest in
the game than anything else we could
do L would have six club league
with schedule of twenty-siX games,
playing Sunday and mid-week game
and composed of the following teams:
Mankato, Albert Lea, OwatOnna,
Faribault, st. Peter and either Austin
or Waseca. The rivalry between Man
kato and st. Peter would result in
huge crowds in each of those towns
while the same would be true of Fari-
bault, Owatonna and Albert Lea. Wa
SEGA may seem bit small for such a
league. but it should be remembered
that that town supported the fastest
team in the state for some years
when other cities of four times its size
were on the rocks of despair so far as
baseball was. concerned Austin nigh!

j. j. Davcy OF Shakopee, who il
working on the right of way for the
proposed interurban line to be built
by the st. Paul Railway Promotion
company, was in the city today, looking
over records in the county auditors
office. He states that an agent is now
engaged securing contracts for right of
way across private property. A small
payment is being made, and the con-
tract binds the parties to certain

certain time.
The line will probably cut through
the farms backs of the residences, as
the farmers do not like to have the line
run in front of their houses and be-
tween there and the road.
From Mankato to Eagle Lake the
line follows the main road pretty close
ly, except where it cuts across from
the head of the cemetery ravine road
TO the Eagle Lake road. After pass
ing through the north part of the
village of Eagle Lake, it leaves the
vicinity on the highway and makes
nearly straight shoot to Madison
Lake, coming in there just south of the
Great Western track. Through the
village the line follows a street for
several blocks, and then gets close
to the Great Western road This dis
tance from Manlato to Madison Lake,
according to the surveyed line, is about
ten and half miles, which is two
miles shorter than the wagon road and
four and half miles shorter than
the railway. Mr.. Davey believes that
the line is sure to be built.

NEW FOOTBALL RULES WILL
BRING NEW FORMATION

New York, Sept 13.-As anticipated
an odd formation has been born of the
new football rules. There's nothing
very much out of the way in the fact
that a new alignment of the backs has
been devised. 1t had to come under
the revised code of gridiron etiquette
That the season has not opened, that
two of the big four elevens have yet
to hike to practice fields and coaches
are already preparing the weird and
fantastic is the wonder of it. Verify,
this will be strange football, with
new formations coming to light be-
fore weeks preliminary practice
has been completed.
Coach Andy Smith of Pennsylvania
calls it the cup" formation. His squad
began work at Mount Gretna, tucked
away in the Pennsylvania highlands,
last Tuesday. In two days Smith was
teaching his squad the "cup" forma-
ton. What a departure from former
early season practices. In past years
coaches contented themselves with
rounding the squad into fair physical
condition during the preseason period.
Long runs, walks and climbs, passing
and kicking the ball and swimming
were in order The tangled up rules
will permit of no such simple pleas
ures this autumn. Coaches have to
learn to acquire this knowledge quick
Ily. How better can they do it than
by seeing the team in formation? The
wise coaches will try formation after
formation at the earliest date possible.
Coach Smith believes his cup" for
nation will be- q ground gamer As
the name signifies, the backs take a
cup-shaped array. Two men play close
to the line, the other two five yards
back and nearer an imaginary line at
right angles to the center of the scrim-
mage line. Onside kicks, forward
passes and rushes, dashes outside,
tackle and line drives are all played
off this formation. OF course, the
ball is passed directly from the center
to the runner Smith is drilling his
squad on this formation and it may
be Pennsylvania attack as well as
the majority of other elevens this
year.

SENATOR BAILEY's OPINION.
On oklahoma's Enabling Act Pertain
ing to Prohibition.

In view of the fact that an election
will be held on November Sth to
amend that section of the constitution
dealing with prohibition, and substi-
tuting local option and high license,
we feel that the readers of this paper
should be posted. Referring to the
position of some that the sale of liq-
uor is prohibited for twenty-one years
In the old Indian Territory, Senator
j. w. Bailey of Texas made the fol-
lowing speech in the senate of the
United States, and it may be found in
the congressional record of June 18th,
1906, on page S637. The senator said:
Not only, sir, is she the greatest
ever admitted, but you compel her
to come into the Union with badges
of dishonor and incompetency never
before put upon a commonwealth. You
have written 1t in the enabling act,
that her people are not to be permit
ted to deal in their own way with the
most vital of all police questions, the
regulation of the sale of liquor. II
there be one question above all others
essentially pertaining to local govern
ment, it Is the right to determine
whether or not intoxicating liquors
shall be sold, ard il permitted at all,
the circumstances and conditions un-
der which sale may be conducted. But
you have denied that sovereign right
to this sovereign state, and you have
commanded her to write into her or
ganic law not the provision which ac-
cords with the will and judgment of
her people, but the provision which
accords with the will and judgment
of people In other states.
4 grant you that after Oklahoma
once become a state her people can
amend their constitution, although the
law of congress under which they are
admitted declares that provisions shall
not be amendable. They can amend
it, because. in my judgment, it is not
competent for congress to impose a
continuing obligation like that upon
state"
