Public Demand For Good Music.
m the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
The librarian of the Chicago Public Lii
brary. Henry Legler, intends to give bat
tie to the influence of .'ragtime" music by
Offering something better in its place
through the circulating channels of the
library Scores of the seve1ty-tive operas
recently produced at Chicago have been
purchased for popular distribution. bad
music is inexpensively sold everywhere
this effort is made to enable those OF the
slenderest purses to obtain the elevated
and edifving musical conceptions OF the
masters
This admirable scheme is not newt
already successfully operates in Phlla-
lGeIphia. The Free Library and the Charles
III Jarvis Memorial Library OF Music at
the Drexel Institute have for years made
a practice OF placing at the disposal or
the public the works performed by the
Philadelphia Orchestra, and the literature
that assists the layman to profit by all
that he hears at the symphony concerts
and at the opera house. There is con-
stant demand at our music stores FOR the
better sort of music-a demand which or
carnations such as the Music Teachers
Association, the Musical Art Club and the
Manuscript Music Society, to say nothing
of our instrumental and choral organiza-
tions and the Willow Grove concerts,
have done much to foster ana encourage.
Nowhere else in America Is the standard
Of musical education loftier or more care
fully conserved, and in no - is il bet
ter worth while to give to the people the
high order of music that is dispensed not
merely by our admirable orchestra In the
! Academy. but by the bands that play out
of-doors in summer for the pleasure and
profit of our music-loving populace.

Indian Situation Brightens.

Things are beginning to look a little
brighter for the Carlisle Indian team,
which took a flying start in sridiron
practice Labor day. The Redmen expect
to lose only three of their 1912 regulars,
these being Jim Thorpe, the wonderful
half back; Powell, the full back, and
Large, an end. 1t is true that the loss
of Thorpe and Powell makes a big hole
i'm the team. but Warner has a lot of
good substitutes from 1912. and is fur
thermore encouraged by the thought that
the 1912 team depended too much on
Thorpe for it's own good. Whenever
ground had to be made for first down
Thorpe was selected for the task, and
opposing teams knew almost to a GER
sainty when the ball would be passed to
him.
on the 1912 team vederneck will be
back for end, Calac and Guyon for
tackles, Hill and Busch for guards, Car
low for center and Bergie and Arcasa
for half backs. Arcasa was player
much after the order of Thorpe, and
great things are expected of him. Glenn
Warner appreciates the difficulty of his
task but he is very far from being dis
couraged.

AImy-Navy Troubles Settled.

Those who understood the situation in
army-navy football circles took no stock
In the emphatic statements that there
would be no game this year. even when
/ was announced from West Point that
the Soldiers had scheduled a game with
the Carlisle Indians 10 be played on No
vember - the date reserved for the
game with the navy. the writer expressed
,he belief that the two elevens would play
a. usual This Judgment was founded on
the belief that the officials of the War
and Navy departments at Washington
would take hand in the trouble and
compel the two academies TO adjust their
differences.
IL should be remembered that West
Point and Annapolis have no authority 10
arrange athletic contests OF any kind
without the sanction of these two de-
partments. When West Point scheduled
a game with the Indians the sanction OF
the War Department had not been re-
CeiVed, and when il was requested the
authorities OF the TWO schools We're told
T. get together.
some persons thought that the Soldiers
look this method to bring the Sailors to
time West Point wanted the game
played on the Polo Grounds, New York,
while Annapolis held out for Franklin
Field o. the University of Pennsylvania.
West Point refused 10 play at Franklin
Field because not enough seats could De
placed al the disposal OF the army to take
care of the increasingly heavy demand.
The navy found that il had enough seats
TN the Philadelphia Held. and positively
declined 10 spend four hours in going 10
New York. which the Soldiers could
reach ii less than an hour. Further
more the Sailors did not think the ac-
eOmmodationS at the Polo Grounds IN
New York would IL satisfactory.
Although the academies did not so
state. the chances are that when plans
are made for the game in 1914. the Navy
VIII have some demands to make. Foot
ball men are inclined 10 believe that the

viii ASK the Army TO play on the Amer
lean League grounds In Washington in
Iali. III view Of the concession made
ay the Navy this year the Army could
mol very well refuse a similar request
ia 1914.
The greatest drawback TO playing the
Army Navy game on "a base ball field Is
the arrangement OF the stands The av-
eragc base ball amphitheater is arranged
~ the form OF a semi-c.rcle. that of the
Polo Grounds being an immense circle.
Assuming that the gridron Is located in
the center Of the Held, the spectators will

Engineer Has Narrow Escape.

Belle Fourche.-To drop through q

pinned down by the ponderous ma.
chine and yet escape with his life was
the thrilling experience Of Joseph FL.

When nan and machine struck the
bottom Of the creek Elpeli was pinned
down between the steering wheel and
the water tank, but the two did not
come close enough together to crush
him. Until his ~predicament was dis.

his life, Elpeli was badly bruised and
cut and is not yet out of danger.

Woman's Body Exhumed.

Sioux Falls.-The children Of Mrs.
BERT Boyum, who died at her home
near Baltic last December, have at
last been successful in their efforts
to have the body of their mother ex-
humed, their contention being that
h was poisoned. Their request that
her body be exhumed was complied
with by Coroner Miller. who now has
sen the contents of the stomach to a
laboratory in Chicago for examina-
ton for poison. 1t is expected it will
be about a week before a report is re.
celved from the chemist who will
make an analysis of the contents of
the stomach Of the dead woman. The
children of the dead woman came to
Sioux Falls about a week ago and de-
manded that the body be eXhumed. To
satisfy them a %coroner's jury was
summoned, and. after an investigation,
returned a verdict to the effect that
the came to her death from
natural causes. Dissatisfied with this
verdict, the children insisted on the
body being eXhumed and the contents
of the stomach examined, and now the
county authorities have complied with
their demands. The contention of the
children has created a sensation
among the residents Of the Baltic
neighborhood.

Intended to Suicide.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES II. Foss, who
died from wounds inflicted by himself
with a revolver did not end his life un
~thinkingly. He had planned to take
the fatal step at different times, say
those who have talked with him. His
physical troubles We're due to the NOR
phine habit. The first of September,
during a respondent spell, he spent
five or six hours alone on the banks
of the Vermiliion river near town,
threw the last Of the despised drug
in the water and decided to end his
life, but the desire was overcome till
nearly two months later. At the time
of his death and for some time pre-
vious to it he had been undertaking to
sell Florida land. but with but little
success. He wrote a letter which has
just been found, on the occasion of his
previous suicide notion, similar to the
one published.

Ship over 400 Carloads Of Stock.

Belle Fourche.-To date over 400
carloads of stock have been shipped
from this point to eastern markets
this season and in an off year when
stock is not plentiful, this is consid-
cred a good record. This number will
be sWelled by probably another 100
cars or better before the eason closes.
The sheep industry, which is steadily
climbing in this section, is attracting
the attention of sheep men. There are
arrangements being made now for the
ranging of about 10000 head Of sheep
close to here this winter. Feed on
ditions are unusually good. As there
was an immense alfalfa crop in the
irrigated district on the Belle Fourche
project and this alfalfa can be bought
stacked in the field at 81 per ton and
furnishes the best kind of feed. It is
expected that the sheep industry in
this section will show a much greater
growth in the next few years.

property left of the western ranches

the northwest. Mr.. Weare purchased

intentions have not been made known.
The WV has been gradually CLOSING
out for several years. owing to the
inroads of the settlers on the once
free range where thousands of head of
WV cattle used to roam. Most OF this
range and the large land possessions
of the company has been divided up
