apparently for a punt, Pumpelly, whe
had but a few minutes before taken
Markle's place at right half, dropped
back and received a perfect pass from
Ketcham, Pumpelly dropped the bali
and then booted it on the rebound. AS
the ball cleared the bar, Referee Snow
of Michigan threw up his hands, in
dicating that the score had been made
and thousands of Yale followers, realiZ'
ing hat the daring back had tied the
score, sent up a tremendous cheer. Yale
substitutes turned somersaults on the
side lines and Pumpelly was almost
carried to his position by his fellow
players.
For Princeton there was Hobert Bak-
er, who made both of the black and
oranges field goals. Both were easy
chances and came in h second period.
Flynn, the tall fullback of the Yale
team, was the first man to make a
score. In the first period he kicked
goal from placement from within the
twenty-five yard line. -s
Outside of the st"ubbornness of the
defense on each side and Pumpelly's
great field goal there was nothing re-
markabie about the game.

FOOTBALL SEASON is OVER.

Now that the football season is over,
the sporting fans are getting ready for
the coming basketball season, whicn
promises to be the hardest fought in
years.
Fargo college will be greatly handi-
capped by the loss OF three of the best

Ter. In spit of this fact, the "ever-joy-
suls" on the hill are awaiting a siren
hous time when Coach Watkins little
Inns.
OF last years letter men only Har-
rington, forward, and Boise, guard. are
left. II. Haggart, who was out on ac~
count of illness last year, will be back
this season. Murray of last years
equad will be a valuable man, wherever
he may be needed.
OF the new material, some is indeed
encouraging to the wearers of the Blue
and Gold rags. Smith, a lengthy Indian
with experience from Carlisle, looks
good for the center position. Ellis
from Towner will also be out for the
pivot position. For forwards Thomas
and Tillotson will undoubtedly give the
old timers q chance to work, while the
material out for guards is liable to
surprise the veterans. Palfrey, Marks,
Rolf, f. Carpenter, and Allen Carpenter
are to try out for guard.
Practice will not be started at Fargo
college till the end OF this month or
h FIRST of next.

Many of the best athletes of the
world are superstitious, although few
of them are affected by the same
thing. Some high jumpers will not
make an effort to jump unless there
is a handkerchief over the c~rosspiece;
others will not jump If the handker-
chief is on the bar. Some athletes
will not have their running toys
washed while they are training.
Melvin, Sheppard is superstitious
about only one thing-the washing of
his clothes. He will not have any ar
.ticIes he uses washed while he is
in training or running. Only when
he retires for a month or so will he
have anything cleaned. He says that
washing may take his strength away.

fession which has fought the in
 stitutiOn in every manner possi-
 ble to encompass it's failure, with
 the result, taking the three causes combined, of placing the
 institution in a position where it can go no further without local assistance.
 In every instance where capital against the Hospital of the Good Samaritan could be made, justly or unjustly, it has been done. A few months ago a woman suf-
 fering from erysipelas was re- fused admittance to the institu- tiOn and, great cry was raised when the facts were that to ad- init contagious case at the time would have been nothing short Of murder, insOmuch as there were two maternity patients in the hospital and no provision had been made for an isolated ward where contagious cases could be cared for without rndangering the lives of others. It has also been given out freely that the hospital drew the line strictly up on the responsibility of it's pa tients, when, as matter of fact, it's doors have been open to all in distress.
 These arc not pleasant mat tcrs to bring up for public dis cussion, but in justice to those who have given their best efforts and money to maintain this in stitution, the truth must hc told and spoken plainly.
 Valdez cannot afford to permit the closing of the doors of this institution. A public hospital here is part of our city--nf our civilization. To permit this in lo pass away is in de- clare that each year half dozen or moro lives are lo br sacrificed for the lack of proper care, when they could have been saved.
 IL appears io the Prosprrior that if the trustees of ihiS inSti- tuition will permit the Ladies' t0 lake charge of the hospital i!Icrr will then bc an in nucncc behind the institution which no man or set of mon could well afford tO antagonize. There would be such a general suprrvis- ion exercised as to preclude all criticism. Under the manage l ment of the Ladies' Auxiliary we are certain the hospital would soon be brought out of debt and placed upon a substantial foot ing.
 We dn not wish to imply the criticism against the present ! trustees of the institution. for | we know they have given their hest efforts and their money for ;;S maintenance. But wc still l believe the wOInrn of Valdez can make a success financially nf the hospital where We men have fail rU

ALASKA'S DELEGATE.

Government should be a cold blooded business proposition for our government has very much 10 do with our prosperity OF ad- VerSity. Sentiment or passion should have little sway in public matters, as little at least as the business man indulgcs in in car rying on his vocation. It is a dollars and cents proposition on the one hand and the returns tO he received upnT the other.
 X city, county or state should be run on business principles and not upon political clap trap. Men are placed in positions of trust and honor. not for their aggran- diZcmrnt. but for the benefit of thnSr who pay the bills and every voter appears upon this ASSESS mrnt list either directly or in- directly.
 Alaska is in need of much from llI" general government. To get the maximum to which We arc entitled We should be repre- scented in Washington by d cap able and conscientious man in harmony with the administration. There can bc no doubt of the election of Woodrow Wilson as nur next pprcSidrnI; Congress will be Democratic, there being at the present time but a slender Rcpubliran majority in inc upper house, c0ncrding the progressive element to the Republican party.

Death of Knute Freeberg.

Knute Freeberg, a resident Of De-
corah for about twenty years past,
died very suddenly on Sunday night,
at the age of thirty-siX years. He
had been sufferer from asthma and
throat trouble for some time, which
is believed to have been the cause
of his death. He was born at Ossian.
April l, 1876, and was unmarried.
He leaves to mourn his death two
brothers, c. G. Freeberg of this city
and Magnus of Pocatello, Idaho, one
sister, Mrs. Theodore Olson of this
city, and an aunt, Mrs. X. Larson,
who lives near Ossian. The funeral
services will be held at Calmar to-

the unterrified ever in DEBORAH.
Among them will be Judge Martin

To Rebuild Trout Run Hill.

We understand that it is the pur-
pose of the board of supervisors to
spend considerable money this sum-
mer upon the complete rebuilding of
the long hill which extends south
eastward from Trout Run on the
r'rankville-Ossian road, and it GER
tainly needs it, for it is in probably
the worst condition of any of our
main roads. We regret that it does
not seem TO be the plan to relocate
the road on the side hill, but to re-
build it in the valley, which we be-
lieve is mistake. We cannot all
think alike, however, and the people
living south and east of DEBORAH
will be glad to have the road put in
passable condition. In our opinion,
the road ought to be put up on the
side hill, and built so that it will not
wash out every year or two and
have to be done over again. The day
of valley roads in Winneshiek county
ought to be at an end.

A Candidate For Sheriff.

This morning we are authorized to
announce the candidacy of Mr.. Ed.
T. Istad of this city as a candidate
for the republican nomination for
the office of sheriff. Mr.. Istad has
for some years been in the hardware
business in DEBORAH, is a popular
man in every way, a good business
man, careful and conscientious in his
dealings, and has splendid qualifica-
tons for the Office he seeks. If
nominated and elected we feel sure
that he would give the people Of the
county excellent service.

During the past week the Sugar
Bowl store of Otto DahlJeim has
been undergoing extensive improve
ments, preparatory to the opening
of the summer season. The store has
been repapered and redecorated
throughout and a handsome new
soda fountain is to be installed, thus
making it more attractive than ever.
While Mr.. Dahljelm gives personal
attention to his wholesale ice cream
business in the summer, yet the re-
tail store is not neglected, and is
always very pleasant place to visit.

Conner, who seeks the nomination
by the democratic party. Mr.. Con-

Candidate For Sheriff

The first announcement OF ID can
didate for the office OF sheriff of
Winneshiek county appears today in
that of Sheriff Thos. j. Qualley, who
states that he will be a candidate FOR
reelection. Mr.. Qualley is so we'll
known throughout the entire county
that little beyond the mere an
nouncement of his decision to be a
candidate needs to be said. He has
served the county faithfully and
well, has made good sheriff, and
comes before the people again purely
upon his record and the wide friend
ship he has gained during his incum-
bency. If nominated and elected
there is no doubt but that he will
give the county the same efficient
and conscientious service he has in
the past.
