Word was telephoned yester-

Big Stone City, died at her home
there on the morning of the 9Th
inst.
Miss Schnacke, while COM
planning of beng i'll, had been
able to be up and around attend
ing to her duties until a few
days ago; the cause of death
was given as urenic poisoning.
Miss Schnacke, was one of the
early settlers at Big Stone, and
had been postmaster there for
"a years, receiving her first APP
pOintment under the Cleveland's
administration, and had never
been disturbed under any of the
following administrations.

best investment any young man could
make.
"Billie, If you will go up to my room
and bring my small handbag, l will
let you see two photographs of the
same young man, showing what only
i've months Of intensive training on
the Mexican border did for him."
The bag was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures, said: well,
here they are. They tell their own
story aud it is a mighty interesting
one. The young man, before training,
has a discouraged look he has seen
but little OF the world. There was
very little in his surroundings to bring
him out. When he joined the colors
and Uncle Sam took him in charge,
life for him took on q new meaning.
He saw q chance to do something and
be something. He woke up. His cap
tain says he is<twice the man he was
when he joined the army. This may
be one of the extreme cases." said
Uncle Dan. II can tell you, though,
that war or no war, no one thing will
do the young men of this nation SO
much good In SO short q time as a few
months Of intensive military training.
It fits q man to fight his own life bat
ties In the business world as well as
to defend his country and its flag.
"Nearly every civilized country gives
its boys military training. 1t Is COM
pu!sory. 1t is based upon the fact that
it is the duty Of everyone to help de-
fend his country; and as war Is now
carried On, no one can do much unless
he is trained. Also, the records show
that the killed and wounded among
unframed troops is nearly three times
as great as 1t Is with we~ll-trained men
who know how to fight and how to
protect themselves. BY this plan q
nation has trained men to defend her
and the individual IS a stronger and
better man for the training.
IF the Chamberlain Bill for Mill.
tary Training is passed by congress-,
as 1t ought to be, the same thing would
be done for millions of other young
men throughout the land. Everybody
ought to demand OF his congressman
and senator's the passage Of this
BILL"

AUTO ACCIDENT
John TeSSin and Son Go Over
BRIDGE

About seven O'Clock yesterday
morning when John Tessin, the
hardware man, and his son Glen
were coming in from the west on
the north road, the auto went over
the bridge into about six feet of
water at the crossing near the Gin
clair farm.
Mr.. Tessin says they we're not
going over fifteen miles an hour,
but the heavy fog and the frost on
the windshield made it difficult to
see but a few feet ahead. and the
driver was not able to make the
turn in time. The auto struck a
post on the bridge and turned SOM
erset, going over bottom side up.
The two men were enclosed in the
rig, but they managed to tear the
curtains and free themselves. Only
a small part Of the rig was out Of
the water. Had they been pinned
down in any way it is probable
that they would have drowned be-
fore any help could have reached
them. Chas. Koch was only a
short distance behind them. The
turn on the road just at the bridge
makes the crossing a dangerous
one in fog or binding weather,
and undoubtedly was the cause of
the accident, which luckily result
ed in only a few scratches and a
thorough wetting.

This is not a new determination for
General jackson, but he has just
fallen short Of carrying out his inten-

gave the leaders a, real chase for the
topnotch place, but he was not in his
best swatting spirit all summer.
He was recovering last year from
bad slump that had chung to him all
through the summer of 1915, and he
intends to start where he left off last
fall when the schedule starts next

Joe likes the fans of Chicago and
he likes to play with the White Sox

It is nine years since Jackson saw
the big league for the first time. He

THE summer Of 1908 and reported the
following spring, but was sent to Sa-
vannah, where he put in the season.
| In 1910 he went to the New Orleans
club, under option from the Athletics,
and was sent to Cleveland in August
Of that year. He was with the Cleve-
land team for four years.
During the fifth season there he
was sold by Charlie Somers to the
White Sox, thus landing with the Sox
on August FL, 1915. His best batting
! year was 1911, when he came to the
CleveIanders first. That year he had
an average Of .4O8. The next two
years he made 1875 and 375, but he
sfumped down to 1888 in 1914 and
only made .30S in 1915. He jumped
back into,th class of the leaders last
season again, making an average that
was close to Cobb's and Speakers.

It may seem far fetched to tlk about
jinx in connection with Boston. but
at that the City Of Beans does seem
to have such an animal concealed
about the premises. Bill James, the
big Californian who was the twirling
star of the Braves in 1914, will pass
the quarter century mark today, and
yet, to all appearances, the young
Iron man" is through. Joe Wood,
the Red Sox star Of 1912, also flicker
ed out, and will try to esca pc the link
by putting on a Cleveland uniform.
vean Gregg is another twiring mar
vel who has been the victim of the
Boston jinx. Many other men who
have played phenomenal ball for the
Boston clubs for season or two and
have been dropped out might be
named, while not few, notably Chick
Stahl, Martin Bergen and Charley
Bennett, have been involved in TRACE
dies.

TO SUGGEST CHANCES IN

Foster Sanford Wants Forward Pass Curtailed
and Penalty for tumble Decreased.

THAT the forward pass shall not
be thrown into the territory Of the
defense a. greater distance ihan ten
yards.
2-That a, fumbled ball ON a run
ming play, when recovered, shall not
be advanced beyond the point Of re-
covery, the possession of the ball be-
ing deemed sufficient reward for dill
gence. Exception-That If ball is
fumbled by man endeavoring to ad-
vance it, he alone may recover it and
continue it. 1t is not meant that this
proposeN change shall in any way af-
feet or apply to the kicking game.
3-The elimination Of the so-called
cut-down from behind. This play
has all the elements of treachery and
none of good craftsmanship. and is OF
such vital nature that the game of
football would be much better with
out it. The play is so distinctive as
to make it easily discernib1e to the
officials as to when a penalty will lie.

YOUNG RECTOR EARNS
DRAW IN LUX BATTLE

New York, March 12-Saturday
night at The Fairmont A. c., Young
Rector of Jersey City, met Murray
Lux of Kansas City in the main event
Of ten rounds and at the finish it
would be unfair to either to call the
fight anything but a draw. Lux had
q decided advantage in height, reach
and weight, as he scaled 1873 Ia
pounds, which helped him considera-
bly,. Rector from the first round on,
played for Lux's head, and had him
bleeding from the nose and mouth
throughout the fight.
Lux evened up things by scoring a
knockdown in the eighth round, but
Rector was up in a flash fighting hard
at the bell.
The fight was whirlwind affair
and it was case of boxer meeting
Rector, a fighter, who was always on
the aggressive and which made it a
great fight to watch.

George Smith, the former Columbia
University star, went the entire route
yesterday. The enemy scored only
five safe hits against him, and none

New York, March 12-It became
known yesterday that George Foster
Sanford, coach of the Rutgers Col
lege football team, has drafted a list
of suggestions for changes in the foot
ball rules. The rules committee will
meet at the Biltmore, Friday, and it
is expected that some affirmative &C
ton on Sanford's suggestions will be
taken.
Sanford is generally regarded as an
extremely radical force in the football
world, and almost every season invents
a play of a nature which has a start
ling effect upon the gridiron world.
Last season he invented the multiple
kick, and it is said that the rules COM
mittee intends to attack the measure
and, possibly, declare it Illegal. San
ford has prepared defense of the
play.
Here is his list of suggestions for
changes in the existing code:
