EDGERToN rs, FORT ATKINSON o.
Our High School Team Has An I'm
broken Line of Victories.

:
Fort Atkinson, we can readily admit,
has gained an enviable reputation in
the national game of baseball but on
the football field seems to have fallen
considerably below par, if we may
rightly judge from the results of the
game played here on Saturday last.
Fresh from having trounced Cambridge
and Lake Mills high school teams by
large scores, the showing made against
Edgerton was good deal of disap-
pointment for they presented scarcely
any opposition to our snappy team.
Touchdowns were scored almost at
will, the Forts goal being crossed for
total of twelve, while Rossebo sue
ceeded in five of his attempts at goal.
Nearly every play, whether from shift
formation, line bucking or circling of
the ends, with an occasional forward
pass, was good for a big gain, while
only once was the visiting team able to
hold the locals for downs. The Fort
uGSOLldCGO 1lISt uOWl OASO c%Alo OuSS
had possession of the ball on Edger-
toms 25 yard line.
| In its five games to date Edgerton
has scored 145 points to for its oppo-
nents, North Division of Milwaukee
being the only team that has crossed
! their goal.
Touchdowns: Clarke 4, Ogden 8, Will
liams l, Kepp l, Rossebo /, Curran 2.
Goals from touchdown: Rossebo 5.
Referee-Blied, Madison.
I Umpire Meyers, Madison.
The locals play GAINESVILLE at the
Driving Park Friday afternoon, at 2:30,
which is generally conceded an easy
mark. Saturday the team expects to
witness the big university game, Madi-
son VS.. Chicago. The return game with
Stoughton is scheduled for Nov. 3rd.

THIS ENCAMPMENT
MAY Be LAST Of ALL
Golden Jubilee May Be Last
Ever Held of Veterans of
the Civil War

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 2S.-Mobil-
ization of the Grand Army of the Re-
public for the golden jubilee encamp-
ment continued today, the forces of
faded blue pouring through Union
station in increasing numbers as the
veterans from Kansas and Missouri
and nearby states began to arrive.
The first real convention meeting will
not be held until tomorrow night and
many planned not to get here before
then.
With the aid of the Boy Scouts, the
visiting delegates were handled with
out hitch. The scouts showed par
ties to hotels AMI rooms, lugged heavy
grips, ran all sorts of errands, winning
the hearts of the old soldiers and their
companies.
Threats of railway strike have kept
many of "Lincoln's boys" from at
tending the encampment, Adiutant
General John Adams of Cincinnati
said, adding that failure of the rail
roads to grant rate and the hot sum
mer in nearly every section of the
country had also cut attendance.
Here, however, the choicest weather
prevailed, the maximum temperature
yesterday being 6S degrees.
Indications point that this will be
the last national encampment. Sam
d. Brown, commander of the depart
ment of Kentucky, proposes hereafter
that encampments be not held en- mas
se but by delegates chosen from each
state, proportioned one delegate to
each 800 members, their expenses to be
paid by the encampment.
Commander Brown said it was only
year or two until the majority will
cease attending owing to increasing
infirmities, and that his plan "will put
us on business basis as well as patrio-
tic.n He feels sure five hundred com
rades could do the convention work as
well as it is done now, and that the
others would be content to stay at
home.
Death claimed its first visiting vet
eran today when n. w. Macy of To-
ledo, Ohio, toppled and fell as he
started down the steps of the home OF
u. 4. Robertson where he had been as
signed room. He was dead when
help reached him. Death was believed
due to heart disease. An effort is be-
ing made to communicate with rela-
tives in Toledo.
Ten special trains carrying members
of the G. A. r. have arrived within
80 hours.
Political talk has begun. William j.
Patterson of Pittsburg aud Patrick II,
Coley of Topeka have already avowed
their intention of running for the of
flee of commander in chief.
Others are appearing on the scene.
The election will be held Friday.

SENATOR CULBERsoN WINS
Wilson Senator Carries German
Counties in Texas Democratic
Primaries.

Dallas, Texas, Aug. Ex-senator
Charles \. Culberson, as the Wilson can
didate, was leading Ex-Governor o. b.
Colquitt by almost two to one today,
with less than 10000 votes to be count
ed, in the runoff primary for the demo-
cratic United States senatorial nomina-
tion. The standing was: Culberson,
146,507; Colquitt, s3,457.
\ notable fact from the returns re-
ceived is that Senator CulbersOn car
ried practically every German county
in the state. 1t was in these sections
he received such vote as to enable
him to catch up on the apparently over
whelming majority given his opponent
by the larger counties and cities.

ENGLAND C|NCHES
TOBACCO GROWERS
Embargo On Shipment to Aus
tria and Germany Means
Heavy Losses

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The state de-
granted by Great Britain giving the
British American Tobacco company vir-
tual monopoly Of export trade with
France and Italy, Foreign Trade Ad-
wiser Letcher declared today.
He made the statement to tobacco
growers representatives who had called
at the capitol to urge formal protest
against England's embargo on ship
ments to Austria and Germany, effec-
tive Thursday. Confronted with loss
of $l0,000,000 to $l5,000,000, tobacco
growers in five states are panic strick-
en-, their representatives said.
The English concessions, in conjunc-
tion with the embargo on tobacco, the
growers declared, will mean the Bri.
fish American company can reduce the
prices paid American growers who will
have no other outlet for the big export
crops.
Charges of bad faith by England and
demand for stern retaliatory measures
were made by Senator Swanson, Vir-
ginia. Joel Fort, of Clarksville, Tenn,
limited that England's unexpected EN-.
cars will be delivered to the companies
in perfect condition and every union
man will quit the property, with orders
to void violence or trespass.
Only "a of the biggest brotherhood
men remain here today. According to
their version they must stand pat on
the eight hour day with 10 hours pay.
The feeling in the mems quarters is
that the strike is only few days off

In delivering a short talk at Marsh

people of the Coos valley country that
the Salem Cherrians and other resi-

them as citizens of Oregon; that while
heretofore they were perhaps better
known in San Francisco than in Ore
gon, hereafter they were to become a
member of the Oregon family. He urg-
ed them TO attend the state fair and be-
come better acquainted with the Ore
gon folks. Other organizations were
in Marshfield for business only. Salem

them, to extend the good will of the
capital and to assist in the celebration.
