this morning before the game with

they are as optimistic as the coach.
Yesterday several loads of straw
were spread around the Rourke park
,gridiron to keep it dry.
Despite the snow furries last
night every company in the post
assembled on the parade ground and
practiced cheering under the direc-
ton of Captain Whitney. Several
new songs, written this week, were
rehearsed.

Tomorrow night the men of the
post will parade the principal streets
of Omaha to advertise the game.
Following the parade, the post band
will give a concert at the court
house. Another parade and concert

Creighton Now Tries
for Post-Season Game
to Wind Up the Year

Calling off the Creighton Colorado
Miners game set for this aftnrnoon
on Creighton field has cast a gloom
over the Creighton camp.
The management and Coach Mills
left no stone unturned in their last
frantic efforts to book a big time"
contest for Omaha's turkey day pro-
gram. Unusual offers we're made to
Ames, Iowa, Morningside, Missouri,
Fort Omaha and Northwestern, but
none of these could see their way
clear to complete the schedule which
was wrecked by the Miners elev-
enth hour cancellation.
However, officials promise that
one of the best teams in the west
will be brought to Omaha for a post
season game.

not probable that the field will be
located at any of the army forts

was Canadian by birth and had
travelled extensively in this country
with her husband, whose health was
poor. But of all places she had
lived, Mrs Jarvis loved Kingstree and
its people best and after the death
of her husband, eleven years ago
at NARROW, Ga, she returned here
to make her home. Last year she
went to Salt Lake City in Utah to
live with relative. but not finding
that city and climate congenial she
returned here a few months later.
She was devoted to Mrs Heller and
always preferred to be with or near
her, and it was upon the Heller
premises that Mrs Jarvis lived and
died, surrounded at all times by
such comforts and tender care in
her declining years as these good,
kind, patient friends could provide.
While in Utah Mrs Jarvis heart
became affected. She returned here.
realizing that her life was drawing
to close. although apparently in
good health and cheerful spirits up
to the hour of retiring Friday night.
Saturday morning she arose as usual
but was soon afterwards seized with
a chill, which the weakened condition
of her heart could not withstand
and she fell from her chair, dying a
few moments later.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Episcopal church Saturday
evening by the Rev DIR Walter
Mitchell and the remains taken to
NARROW, Ga, for interment, ac-
companied by Messrs W H Carr and
P B Thorn. Requiescat in pace.

ing of citizens.a representative body
from various sections of the county

those counties interested in the
crossing of Santee river at Murray's

ties so interested, so that the mat
ter can be carried before the State
Highway Commissioner in some
definite shape.

chairman of this meeting appoint a
committee to solicit subscriptions in
