for them this afternoon at o'clock.
The committee at once put the ball
in motion for temporary mess hall
and temporary equipment and three
meals will be served tomorrow and
every day hereafter, and there will be
no interference with the college work.
President Miner said While the
loss of the mess hall is serious one
to the college, we will be able to show
the state that we can do things here
under any circumstances. Temporary
arrangements will be made, and we
will take care of every student here.
The college will not lose a day from
its work. The education of these boys
is too important to be interfered
with"

Was Bio BUILDING.

The mess hall was one of the most
imposing buildings on the campus II
was erected in 1897 at an original cost
of $21 900, but there have been add
tons to it from time to time, makinG
it much more of an investment than
the original cost. 1t would seat 100
students at a meal.
There was no insurance on the mess
hall or the equipment. The college
carried an insurance of $3.50 on the
ccmmssary building and $1,000 on the
commissary supplies, but the buildina
was saved and much of the supplies.
Mr.. Sbisa carried only $50 on his per
SOnal effeCtS.

Does a lawyer give legal advice for
nothing? Not if he knows himself.
Isn't it, then, rather cheeky for law
yers to ask newspaper to boost "a
friend" for office when there is moth
ing in sight for the publisher? And
some of these lawyers send their job
work out of town, too, A publisher
who gives away his living ito accom-
modate" such friends" is a fool for
the want of sense, and nobody knows
il better than those who get the ben
eft of his prodigality. This is said in
no spirit of unkindness, but we are
sore and tired of the efforts of candi.
dates and their friends to work us.

CHkNUTE FOOTBALL
TEAM TIED eureka
Played Excellent Game and
Held Heavier Opponents
70 one Touch Down

Struggling in the rain throughout
the game on heavy field the Cha
mute high school football team held
the Eureka team to to5 score
on the Eureka gridiron Friday after
noon. Chanute's score was made
within the first five minutes of play
as the result of IS yard run made
by Capt. Gray for touck down
In the first two quarters Chanute
was the aggressor and PLAYED in the
enemy's territory continually. Eu-
reka came back strong however in
third quarter and Chanute was
forced to the defensive. Through
out the game and especially in the
last half Eugene Conkln's consistent
booting several times saved Chanute
from having her goal line crossed.
At the beginning of the fourth
quar.er Chanute got the ball OF
downs within 10 yards of her own
goal line. The slippery ball how
ever caused a poor throw by Cha
nute's center and tumble by the
quarter so that Chanute lost the
ball behind the goal line where
Eureka fell on it giving them the
touch down. Professor Bassett re-
ports that the Chanute boys all did
excellent work. Tom Owens new
man at tackle made some of the
best tackles of the game. Buck
Clark's tackling smashed Eureka's
interference several times. The
treatment accorded by Eureka was
absolutely square. The team went
in the hole on the game because OF
the bad weather but did not grum~

Chapute will meet Humboldt next
Friday which with the return ganss
here with Parsons later will be the
only two games On the home
grounds. Humboldt has a strong
team having defeated Parsons yes

s O'Clock Monday. He is sur
vived by his wife and daughter in

ROWLAND AND SEAvER
n SUNDAY FIGHT
Chanute Men Attempted to
Settle an Old Grudge
on the Street.

Chss. Rowand was fined $25 and
costs by Police Judge Wilfong Mon
day after City Attorney Evans
had questioned those concerned
about the street fight Sunday after.
noon between Rowand and ]. F.
Seaver. The fight was caused by
old grudge between the two men
dating back to the time when Seaver
was Chief of Police In Chanute. The
case was appealed to the district
court by Rowand. Judge Wilfong
required surety bond of $Ioo. 90
from him. The charge placed
against Rowand in police court was
fighting and disturbing the peace.
He was willing to plead guilty to
the charge Of fighting but Attorney
Evans insisted on both charges.
Rowand offered no testimony in his
own behalf.
According to the story told by
Seaver en- the witness stand he was
on his way to attend the preaching
service at the library at 3 o'clock
Sunday afternoon when he noticed
Rowand and some companions who
seemed to have been drinking. The
men were at the alley near the Zell-
ner & Cross clothing store. Row
and and others unknown to Seaver
crossed Main street to where he was
standing. Rowand referred to his
old erudge and struck at him, and
in parYy:ng the blow Seaver lost his
hat. One of Rowand's compaoions
after expressing his wish to "clean'
him struck Seaver. The latter then
went to police headquarters and
asked Randall to bring his club and
arrest the drunks. When the two
arrived in front of Rosenthal's store
the fight began again. Seaver
wrenched the club from Randall's
left arm and belabored Rowand on
the head with it. Officer Randall
testified that when he separated the
men, Rowand and his companions
made no objection to goi'g under
arrest to the city hall with him.
Later in the afternoon the men were
released by Chief of Police Van
Sandt upon their promise to report
in court this morning. Rowand's
companions were not on hand this
morning but City Attorney Evans
notified the police that he would ex
pect them to bring the men into
court.

opposed to any star chamber

toward law enforcement in having
appointed as chief of police a man
in whom all good citizens had con
fidence. Mayor Beach also asked
for instructions from the council.
In reply to all the comments OF the
evening Chief S. L. VanSandt stated
that he had nothing to hide, and
asked the courtesy of permission
to reply in writing to all the allega
tions instead of attempting to speak
at length at that time. He admitted
that he may have been too lenien
but he nevertheless defended his
policy. Several of the councilmeD
briefly reiterated their previous r.
marks before willing to act on TIE

the gas needed after the city used
all it could from the P. C. c. Co., the
Southwestern Co., and its own wells.
He said that the provision prohibit
ing the city from making other
contracts ceared when Fisher failed
to furnish all the gas the city needed
or had use for from the leases men
toned and described in the contract
of 1908. There is however no pro-
vision IN the contract obligating
Fisher to drill wells on,the Big Creek
leases, and no court, said Mr..
Evans, would compel Mr.. Fisher to
furnish gas at loss.
The city is precluded from other
contracts, attorney Evans further
explained, only so long as Fisher
furnishes all the gas that it needs,
under the contract of Sept. 1898
because he has not been able to do
SO the city has full legal rights to
make such other contracts as it
may wish, and it will be under no
legal liability to Mr.. Fisher if it
does take such action.
The council voted to have the
city attorneys opinion placed on
file and instructed the city clerk to
have a copy of it promptly
furnished to each councilman.

HALT

The city council and the mayor
seem at last to have arrived at the
conclusion that there is screw loose
some where aud are after the police
in good shape.
1t is high time something should
be done. Lawlessness IS becoming too
prevalent. There is too much booze
being mbibed. If it is the fault Of
the police, the police should be regu-
lated.
Wonder why drunken men are
turned loose on the people without
bond. Can gang Of drunks be al
lowed to attack pelceable citizen
on his way to church and then go free?
Our young men of respectable fam.
lilies get full and raise disturbance
In public place. Does society coun-
tenance such conduct? Does not a
young man WHO so far forgets himself
as to do such thing feel dIsgTaced?
Have they not respect enough for
their parents and friends, if not self
respect en- ugh to avoid such scenes?
We hope higher ideals will be instilled
into the minds of our young men and
such things will not happen again.
