This weeks business has been much
lighter in volume. but there has been
no lack of inquiry, indeed. it is freely
said that il dealers had been willing
to shade their asking prices small
fraction they might have further ana
reduced their holdings. But
the recent activity, the favorable re
ports from the goods market and the
recent developments in Washington
with regard to the wool tariff have
put very different aspect on the sit
uation than il had month or two ago
and appear to have given fresh cour-
age To the dealers.
No special effort to push up the
prices of wool is evident on the part
of sellers, but present prices represent
so little profit that there is a strong
inclination to hold before secriticing
what profit there is. OF course the
tariff is still live issue. but there is
no longer the fear of radical legisla-
ton there was earlier in the year. 1t
is reasoned that the woods schedules
will be lowered in accordance with the
findings of the Tariff Board or no
change whatever will be made. If
these deductions are correct there is
no good reason why the goods market
should not maintain the Improvement
of the past few months.
In spite of their recent big takings,
ii is very doubtful il the manufaetur-
ers have anywhere nearly enough wool
to carry tirem very far in even only d
fairly good heavyweight season. It
will be 20 the advantage of the man
ufacturers to keep down their prices
on goods, and this is possible only
through the use of domestic wool,
since foreign clips would materially
increase the cost. 1t might be added
that practically all of the local hold
ings are domestic.
As has been the case for some time,
the demand this past week, has been
best for fleece woods, the clothing
grades Of which have had very good
call, Quarter-blood comblng neeces
have become so scarce that buyers are
turning to three eighths bloods, sales
of which are much larger than they

Coleman Wins from Ashe.

Philadelphia, Dec. 22.--Tomny Cole
man Of this city won the decision over
George Ashe, last night, in six fast
rounds before the Broadway A. G..
Coleman's experience. however. was the
only asset which carried him home a
winner.
Ashe, young and raw in certain box
ing points, had Coleman guessing at
times. but invariably failed to follow
up his opportunity. Time and again
Coleman escaped going down by clever
foot work and following Ashes raj
lies he came back so strong in each
instance that he really outpointed his
younger opponent In the end.

Portland, Ne, Dec. 22.--Wright Lor-
inner, who committed suicide in New
York, today, passed four years of his
early life in South Portland, and it
was the late DIR. J. w. Lowell who
gave him his start in life.
His name originally was Walter
Smith, and he came to this city, pen
niless, III 1887. DR.. Lowell took a de-
cided fancy to the boy. who at that
time was II years of age, and because
of the lads intelligence and wonderful
voice, DR.. Lowell saw brilliant flu
ture ahead of him. Shortly afterward
DR.. Lowell adopted him and he took
the name of Walter s. NJ Lowell He
WAS sent to kent's Hill Seminary. and
later travelled abroad for several
months. II was not known here that

One of the most peculiar freak
plays ever seen in a football game
won for Princeton in their game
with Dartmouth last Saturday.
Princes made n attempt to drop
kick DARTMOUTH goal; the ball
went low, struck the ground and
bounded over the goal, giving
Princeton the game by a score of 8
to 0.
The big game of the West will be
played at Madison next Saturday.
Wisconsin VS.. Minnesota. Minnesota
looks to be the stronger team, but
the Gophers have gone down to
Madison before when appearances
justified big odds on their chances,
and came back sorely crestfallen.
The game will decide the conference
championship.

FOOT BALL

The Normal school football team
went to La Crosse Saturday and
met with defeat at the hands of the
Normal school team of that city by
a score of 8 too The River Falls
team left here about six O'Clock and
drove to Prescott to catch the Bar
lington. The c. B. & Q. was four
hours late and it was already get
ting dusk when the game was COM
menced. During the first half nei-
Their side scored, but in the third
quarter La Crosse worked a fake
play successfully and made a touch
down. The play was in La Crosse
territory most of the game, but the
River Falls boys were too much
used up by the long trip to play
their usual aggressive game and
were unable to score. The game
was marred by two unfortunate &C.
cidents-the La Crosse center had
his leg fractured and Bob Moser of
the River Falls team suffered a
broken nose. Condit, whose nose
was broken in the Stout Normal
game here a couple of weeks ago,
played the entire game at La Crosse
Saturday.
Normal had arranged to play
Stout at Menomonie next Saturday
but owing to the cold weather and
snow, which has made it impossible
for the team TO get in any practice
this week, coach Castle has decided
to cancel the game and try to get
the Stout eleven here for a Thanks
giving game.
The local high school has a game
scheduled for next Saturday-the
John A. Johnson high school, of St.
Pacl, on the home gridiron.

ment

The Improvement League wishes
to express, through the columns of
the Journal its appreciation of the
many courtesies extended and the
help given while we were preparing
the entertainment of last week.
Odd Fellows Hall was put at our
disposal for rehearsals at very
nominal price. The use of the
piano was donated by Mr.. Johnson
and moved without expense to the
League by Mr.. Howe. Several men
were ready to help in getting the
stage in order and all for the good
of the cause. A number of our
busy business men laid aside dull
care and gave their evenings to re-
hearsals in order to perfect them
selves in the histrionic art, while
several of our ladies', who are not
active members of the League, con-
scented to take the parts of leading
ladies" in order to help build the
dining hall in Glen Park. The Choir
uses and drills that were given by
our young people and the children
were pleasing features of the pro-
gram, as charming to the eye as
they were to the ear. The solos
rendered added a touch of dignity
to the entertainment and completed
one of the most enjoyable programs
ever given in River Falls.
To one and all, we thank you.

Starter Dade to Resume Work-Good Handical
Carded for This Afternoon-Pim->
hco Closes To-day.
By GEORGE b. MORRIS.

Laurel Md, Oct. 22.-The Laurel Rae
ing Association offers a good card for
Tomorrow including a handicap in which
some good horses will face the barrier
including John Reardon, Helene, and
Jacquelina. Despite the rain of to-day
the track is expected to be in fair shape
for racing tomorrow. 1t dries out fast,
and II the rain ceases by morning, in
all probability large fields will go to the
post.
The army and navy race scheduled to
go tomorrow will bring some good horses
to the post, and II they all face the bar
rier a good race is looked forward to.
This sort Of racing has made a decided
hit.
Starter w. NJ. Murray, who has been
on the job since the fifth day OF the
meeting, leaves tomorrow for Charles
ton, S. c., where he will start the entire
meeting Starter Dade, whom Murray
relieved in the early part of the meeting,
will return. Mr.. Dade was engaged by
the Laurel association to start the first
five and the last seven days of the meet
ing.
PimIico Closes To-day.
Pimlico, which closes tomorrow. will
send a lot OF new horses to Laurel. At
present every stall is occupied. and many
of the owners are compelled to stable
their horses outside of the track. OF the
thtrty-two "bookies' who drew in Sat
urday, all will remain during the rest
of the racing H D. Brown, secretary
Of the association. has decided that he
cannot accommodate any more.
Generally speaking, the Laurel Racing
Association has been a great success, as
far as the public is concerned. The man
agement has already paid out upward Of
900 in purses, besides thousands OF
dollars paid to the fair exhibitors.
Immediately upon the conclusion Of the
racing at Laurel, Secretary Brown and
his associates, together with a stan OF
clerks, will go to Havana, Cuba, where

Big Game Again
Stopped by Rain
Little Likelihood of Giants and Athletics CLashing
Before Wednesday, at Shibe Park
Good, but Rain Has Been Too Steady

Philadelphia, Oct 22.-With rain COM
ing down steadily late tonight and the
Weather Bureau at Washington predict
ing disturbed conditions followed by a
cold wave for all this week, the pros
poets of an early termination of the
worlds series are tonight decidedly un-
favorable.
There was a ray of hope in Philadel-
phia during the day that a game might
be played tomorrow, but it was short
lived. The rain, which has caused post
ponements Of the games between the
Giants and Athletics for four consecu-
tive days, ceased during the morning and
the sun came out for a while. stiff
breeze blew from the northwest, and this,
1t was hoped, would help dry the grounds.
Tonight, however, rain began falling
about o'clock, effectually killing all
prospects for game tomorrow.
The drainage arrangements at the
park are sufficient to care for a three
day rainfall" said Manager Mack to-
night, ''bu: this steady downpOur has
proved too much for them. We have
been doing everything POSSIBLE to put the
Grounds in condition, but il appears prac-
tically certain at this time that we can't
play Tomorrow"
Hundreds Of fans who have stayed
here for several days hoping for a let
up in the downpOur began starting for
their homes last night A great many
left tonight when the rain began again.
Nearly all of the Giants spent the day
in New York and reported here tonight
to Manager McGraw. All talk OF bat
teries for the next game has been
dropped. as everybody is busy cussing
and discussing the weather.

AUTO HITS CURBING.
DR.. Edward F. Pickford Suffers q
Fracture of the Left Arm.

Thrown from his automobile when it
crashed into the curbing at Sixth street
and Virginia avenue southeast, DR.. Ed
ward F. Pickford, of 1910 East Capitol
street, physician to Senator BENJAMIN
Tillman, of South Carolina, and other
prominent Washngtonians, was seriously
injured yesterday afternoon. He suffered
fracture Of the left arm and internal
injuries.
Though suffering agony from his in
juries the physician arose from the
wreckage Of his machine, which was bad
ly damaged, and walked six blocks to
his office, 422 Eighth street southeast,
where he had his broken arm set and
received treatment for his other injuries
DR. Pickford was answering a summons
to the bedside Of a patient when the ac-
cident occurred. He was operating his
machine through Sixth street and was
attempting to turn into Virginia avenue
The slippery condition of the asphalt due
to the rainfall, caused the machine to
skid. DR.. Pickford lost control Of the
vehicle and It crashed into the curbing
The supporters Of the Giants are not
so strong with the money these days,
but many believe that McGraws men
will eventually win the title.
