kin to Help the Loyal Army
In the Field

Pekin, Oct. 22.-It is rumored that
the Emperor has left Pekin, but the
rumor is not confirmed. 1t is prob
ably to be ascribed to the fact that
the families OF numerous palace SER
wants are going into the country and
that the servants are asking leave
to go.
There is another uncomfortable ru-
NOR that the Prince Regent is dead.
This probably originated in the fact
that he has not attended meetings
of the Cabinet for the last two days.
The British Legation has received
a despatch which predicts that UNI
less Gen. Yin Chang wins decisive
victory within a few days the whole
of the valley of the Yankese will rise
in rebellion. The Government main
tains telegraphic communication
with Sing Yang Chow, near where
Yin Chang has modified 10000 men
1t has been stated officially that
the troops were at Kwang-shui
which is further south. The differ
ence is important as Sing Yam Chow
is on the northern slope OF the hills
separating Human and Hupeh, anc
the only pass through the hills

reported to be held by the rebels
who are said to have many guns.
It is believed that Yin Chang has
been unable to force the pass, anC
this possibly explains the Statement

BEATEN BY SMALL SCORE
High School Boys Played Williams
College sophomores

Bennington high school Saturday
afternoon played It's first game
against college students in number
of years and made an especially
credltable showing, being defeated
by the Williams college sophomore
team by the small score OF - to 0.
The college boys made both OF
their touchdowns in the first period
After the school boys recovered from
their nervousness they held their
own against the rushing attacks of
the college students and even went
through the line for good gains.
A few minutes after the game
started Hodge, the heavy Williams
half back went around an unguarded
end, lodged a couple of tacklers and
went over the line for a touchdown.
Smith kicked an easy goal making
the score Williams 6. Bennington 0.
Williams scored the second touch.

and the failure of the Bennington
backs to handle the punts Two Ions
drives and two fumbles put the bal
close to the Bennington line and
Hodge was sent over. Smith kicked
the goal making the score Williams

In the second period Bennington
not only played as good football az
Williams but advanced the ball by
plunges through the line. Levin ant
Paulson made number of good run,
and Denly was sent through the cen
ter for gains. When the whist,
sounded the school boys were stead
ly pushing the ball toward the VII

GOOD Roads and Their Value.

The issue of good roads has been
discussed 70 years and its end will
come when good roads shauld have
superseded the system of today. The
value of good roads is beyond reck-
oning. 1t is a saving of time and
money to be able to travel in wag-
ons or other vehicles on roads that
are in good condition. There is an
awakening all over the country as
TO the importance and the necessity
of good roads. IT is not possible to
construct good roads in a day. but
there must be beginning.
AS devised by the Police Jury it is
made possible to begin the good
work in Caddo parish. If the peo-
pie are in favor of goods roads they
will vote the five mill tax at the
election fixed for January 23, 1912.

A SPECIAL MEETING.
Directors of the State Fair, the City
Council and Traction Company.

The directors of the State Fair
| Association were convened yester-
day afternoon ON call by DR.. C. c.
McCloud, the president. In attend
ance by invitation were Mayor East
ham, Commissioners Atkins, Full
love, Mccullough and Rives, and
Captain Dillon and Superintendent
Sullivan Of the Shreveport Traction
Company.
Until President McCloud had read
his call, there were surmisings as
to the purpose Of the gathering.
Summarized into a few sentences,
the first proposition by President
McCloud was to secure the extern
sion of the waterworks to the Fair
grounds, where the dwellings were
unprotected by water supply. 1t
was developed that the necessary
extension Of the water mains would
be very costly to the city, which had
no ready funds, but possibly such
extension could be made through
Queensborough instead of the Texas
road. The suggestion was referred
to Commissioner Mccullough, who
will obtain the necessary data,
which he will submit to the City
Council.
The second suggestion by Presi-
dent McCloud was the establishment
|of a salt water natatorium on the
tract of land leased from DR..
Schumpert for 25 years There was
objection to this scheme. If a nata-
torium is to be established it should
be on the property owned by the
city. The natatorium proposition
was referred to the Mayor and
councilmen for necessary data to be
obtained through the engineering
department of the city.
The third and last suggestion was
the improvements already designed.
1t was advised that the grand stand
could be reduced in size which
would decrease the cost of coll
struction. II was suggested that the
entire directorate should devise
plans to be submitted at later
meeting. Finally, after a protracted
discussion. the meeting was ad-
journed.
Prior to adjournment Secretary
Brueggerhoff detailed Interestingly
the attention which had been given
TO the Louisiana exhibit at the Chi
cago Land Show He referred to a
project whereby each State Fair in
the United States is to be provided
with an agricultural building to
cost 100000, secured by an Act of
Congress, but this is uncertain and
may never be realized.

A Tribute 10 DR.. Eaan

At meeting of the Shreveport
Medical Society this resolution was
submitted and adopted:
Resolved, That the Shreveport
Medical Society has heard with
deep regret Of the passing Of Dr.. j.
|C. Egan. We have looked upon DR..
Egan as the nestor of the profession
in North Louisiana. DR.. Egan was
a man possessed of the highest
sense of honor and integrity. He
was kind, sympathetic to the sick
and friend to the younger mem
bers of his profession. His valuable
services rendered to the people of
North Louisiana will ever be held in
grateful remembrance He has held
many positions of honor; was sur
geon in the Confederate army, pres.
ident of the Shreveport Medical So
ciety and of the State Medical So
ciety, and was long connected with
| the board Of health of the State and
parish. To his family we wish to
extend our heartfelt sympathies in
their sad bereavement, though we
| feel that ne has left an inheritance
more valuable than gold.

TRIBUTE TO DR. SsJNRELk
by The Ministerial asSH@atiOn q
Shreveport.

The MinisteriA AssOciassOn ~
Shreveport held a session Mon6a9
morning al 10 o'clock, at which was
submitted and adopted this Tribute
to DR.. Sumrell:
From his earliest resident life in
our city until his death he has been
q faithful, active and Jealous meme
Der in all the interests of this asso-
citation which have looked to the re-
tarding of evil and the promotion
of good. Such constant and init
mate association with him has
brought the ministers of this city to
knowledge of his real ability and
worth as man, citizen and Chris
tian. Therefore, we hang our harps
upon the willows, realizing that one
in whom was found purity of mo-
tive and honesty of purpose has
gone from us. We gladly bear tri-
butte to the fact that as a man DR..
|Sumrell was true, kind and gentle
as child, yet in every hour Of
|duty he was tenacious, faithful and
courageous. As a Christian he had
unfaltering faith in the inspiration
of the scriptures and i'll Jesus pow
er TO save from sin. Many We're the
evidences in his life that the spirit
bore witness with his spirit that he
was a child of God. AS a preacher
of the gospel he gave no uncertain
sound in his ministry, but always
preached a message clear. uplifting
and regenerating. Our city is poorer
today because of his sudden going
and many will rise up to call him
blessed. As his brothers in the
bonds of the Ministerial Association,
we feel that we have lost a brother
indeed. His work and counsel. his
kind and brotherly attitude and the
altitude of his spiritual vision rem
dcrcd him an invaluable member Of
lllis association. II is with profound
sense Of grief we extend to the be-
reaved family the assurance of our
most sincere sympathy and prayers.
May He who is the friend of the
widow, the father of the orphan and
the great Shepherd of the sheep
give TO the bereaved family and the
stricken congregation the consola-
ton of His grace"
