EVERYTHING IN READINESS
FOR A. & M..HASKELL GAME
The Redskins OF Kansas are Headed
South and Expect to Annex the
scaips Of the Farmers.

With the scalps of five Kansas col
leges, one from Nebraska, and one
from Iowa dangling from their belts
and a near victory over the Missouri
champions from Lincoln, the Haskell
Indians are looking for more worlds
to conquer. And to this end they have
turned their faces southwark and on
Monday leave for Texas to meet the
strong eleven of the A. and NJ. College,
one of the strongest teams In the
South. The game will be played at
College Station on Tuesday.
With score of 312 to opponents IA.
the Haskell supporters claim record
score for their favorites, and with still
four games yet to play, 1t bids fair to
| be the biggest total OF any team In the
United States. 1t was believed here
for quite while the Texas trip would
| be abandoned as the Texas Christian
College team with whom n second
game was scheduled cancelled their
contract some time ago, and the first
contract was entered into with the
understanding that a second game
would be arranged to meet the big ex-
pense OF such a long journey. How
ever, the A. and M. management would
not listen to the proposal OF the Has
kell authorities to cancel the con-
tract and raised the ante until Man
] ager Venue felt obliged to keep his
end Of the bargain. The Texas trip
will be hard one. and It is doubtful
II the Indians can win this one. Stung
by the defeat at the hands OF the Kan
sas Aggies, the Southerners are sure
to attempt to wreak vengeance OF

In the district court in Paris, girl
refused to marry a man who had
wronged her when he made the offer
This, in the sight of Texas law, made
him free from crime. The girl will
suffer all of her life, but the man will
go free. When this law was passed
was justice taken into consideration ?
-Bonham News.
In such cases there is no such thing
as justice. A penitentiary sentence, no
matter how long, death by hanging
death in the electric chair, or even
burning at the stake, would not bal.
ance the scales of justice against the
great wrong that had been done. The
law as it now stands, gives the brute
the right to comply with his original
promise, or offer to comply, and this
releases him from the strong clutches
of the law, while the victim has no
choice. In other words he is permit
ted to comply with his promise and
escape punishment, while she is not
permitted to refuse, and still see JUS
tice meted out for the great wrong
done. The law should be amended so
that marriage releases the brute, pro-
vid, however, that the victim is will
ing for the marriage to proceed, other
wise the law shall take its course.

STREET CARS TWENTY.FiFTH
BIRTHDAY.

The street car celebrated its twen-
ty-fifth birthday in October. 1t seems
hardly possible that the modern street
railway system of this electrical age.
should be no older than twenty-five
years. Yet 1t was in October, 1888.
that the first electric street railway
passenger car ever operated in this
country was sent on its initial trip at
Lynn, Mass, taking the present course
of the Highland Circuit route through
several Of the principal streets of the
city.
On Tuesday, September 4. 1888, an
article under the heading of High
land Street Cars" appeared in the
Daily Evening Item, Lynn, as follows:
"a special car, with horses attached,
will be run over the tracks of the
Highland Electric railway, this after
noon, and Wednesday the car will be-
gin to run regular trips, with horses.
until electric wires and poles are laid"
On Wednesday, September 5, the
day on which the first regular trips
were commenced on the Hihglands,

Three times this year the Indians
invaded the north. Twice to bring
back well earned victory and three
times to bring back the honors Of war.
For although the score stood to 8
at the end OF the battle with Nebraska,
everyone that Witnessed 1t, realized that
Haskell has little the better Of the
argument throughout the contest.
However, the Indians have no sore
spots over the loss Of that game. as
they realize that II is part Of the for
tunes of war to lose an occasional
game. The question that Ia Interest,"
ing the Lawrence followers Of the
sport is. can the boys do as well In
the South?
Haskell has made great record In
Dixie. Against the University Of Tex
as. Haskell has won five out of O
total OF eight games. In fact the In
dams are great favorites in the South
ON account OF their clean playing and
good sportsmanship. Next year Has
kell will again play the University OF
Texas.
Last year the Indians invaded Texas
on the strong State University In an
October game, and came away with
the short end OF the score. This year
the braves play the A. and NJ. team,
which is not supposed to be as strong
as OF former years. Their close game
with the Kansas Aggies on the latter's
home ground, Is proof that they are
strong team, however. and the Has
kell coach feels that he will be lucky
to come back with the scalp OF the
Farmers.

LOADED Cars appeared in the Daily
Evening Item, as follows: "The High

loads this noon, and there is no ques
ton but what large traffic will re
ward the enterprise Of the I. & B. r

of fireworks was given at the SUNNI,
of Rockaway Street incline, in celebra
ton Of the opening of this line. From
this invention of 1888 vast improve

Big Fire in Omaha Hotel.

Loss of life estimated all the way
from twenty to seventy-five resulted
from fire which destroyed the Dewey
hotel, second class hostelry occupying
a three-story building at Thirteen and
Farmum streets Friday. The fire was
discovered at o'clock and it was three
hours later that the firemen pronounced
it under control. It was confined to
the building where it started.
Ham Buckner who lives near Gray
was stopping at the hotel, but having
room on the first floor escaped I'M
injured. He says the fire was terrible
thing and believes many lives were
lost. 49,
Only four bodies were recovered be-
fore the flames drove the fremen from
the building. James Proks, a copper
smith and Charles Beverly, employed
in a local oyster house, attempted to
escape, and their bodies were found in
the hallway on the second floor.
The fact that hotel register was des-
troyed will make it hard to secure q
list of the dead, and while the man
ager of the place, states that about
fifty were registered others about
the holel declare that many of the
guests were not registered and that the
total number was more. OF these not
more than twenty-five are known to
have escaped.

the limit Wednesday evening to succeed
in ricing the bride and groom, Mr.. and

train time they began to mistrust mat
tiers and made dash for the Northwes-

them. Returning to the Rock Island
they waited until the train, which was
quite late. came in. They made the
last desperate move, by boarding the
train for Hamlin. This time their efforts
were crowned with success and landed
on the their victims with rice. old shoes,
etc. until they begged for mercy.

pected to return with an engaged rig,
but somehow the rig had disappeared
and they were compelled to start back

time schedule to clear up the work on

Lack of aggressive leadership in
both houses is believed by many to be
responsible for the little work done
during the first half of the session. It

on the leadership Of one man in each
house, and that this man be made re.
sponsible for the work left unfinished.
