THE -IvIOKjSTOG- OEEGONIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1001. 3 RAMBLER ELEVEN WON DEFEATED THE SOLDIERS BY SCORE OF G-O. Local Team Surprlned the Visitors -With. Their Splendid Tenm Work: and Defense. We beat the Woody soldiers by a score of six to naught. We showed 'cm how to play the game, as prop erly we ought We bucked the line and sent em through, and each time made a gain; I guess we gave them soldier boys their allot ment of real pain. They're a plucky lot of players, and they ve got us skinned for weight. But that don't mascerate no Ice, nor Increase their bloomln' calt We simply took their measure, though right gallantly they foucht Their acalps are dangling at our belts the score was six to naught. Ballads of the Ramblers. One of the surprises of the football season occurred yesterday at the base ball grounds, when the Ramblers de feated the soldiers from Vancouver Bar racks by a score of 6-0. From the open ing kick-off to the call of time at the close of the second half it was a brisk, snappy and exciting- contest. At the out set it looked as though the heavier -weight average of the soldiers -would prove an unequal advantage but the local team buckled to their -work and succeeded in preventing the visitors Irom scoring. The rain had made the grounds sloppy and slippery, and great showers of mud were thrown up In every scrimmage. The crowd war rather small, and the ex cellent sport put up deserved better sup port. There was a small sprinkling of spectators In the grandstand, the bleach ers were fairly well filled and the small boys persisted in remaining on the field to the annoyance of the players and the officials. Enthusiasm ran high for the locals, and cheer after cheer went up as winning plays were made. At the con elusion of the game the victors gave three rousing cheers for their defeated opponents, and the soldiers returned the salute. From start to finish the infantry boys wore on the defensive, and were kept busy defending their goal. It was a punting and bucking game, and in the line the local eleven seemed to have the better of it. The soldiers had the greater weight, but their team work was weak and there was a succession of fumbles that resulted disastrously. The smash ing wedge plays used liberally by the visitors wre not effective, and the lo cal backs found no difficulty In breaking through the line to tackle the man with the ball. It was a royal game royally played, and the sport fully repaid the discomfort of the inclement weather. Ramblers Took Offensive. At the start the Ramblers took the of fensive and gradually forced the ball to the enemy's 10-yard line, only to lose the ball on a fumble. Quarterback Smith went through the line for effectual tack les, and Vancouver lost the ball on downs, but regained It again on a fumble. The soldiers were forced back by massed plays until the ball was on their five-yard line and the goal was in danger. The Ramblers got the ball on one gain and Swanson was sent through tor three yards, but no further advance could be made, and the ball went to Vancouver on downs. Wedges and strong mass plays put the ball hack to the 15-yard line, when Swanson went around right end for 10 yards, but was forced back half the distance before ne was downed. Cochran, for the soldiers, made a long run around left end and advanced the pigskin to the 25-yard line. Douglas' Fine Ran. At this point it looked like a touchdown for the soldiers. Douglas was sent around the right end, and with splendid" interference ran the length of the field to the goal line. Unfortunately, one foot went out of bounds and the ball was brought back to the 20-yard line. Doyle was put through for 10 yards, and the ball then went to the Ramblers on downs, and was lost on a fumble after being ad vanced 10 yards. A succession of Jine "bucklng plays again put the locals' goal in danger. Ramblers again got the ball on downs and Crosby punted to the sol diers five-yard line, where the play was when time was called, neither side having scored. In the second half two changes were made. On the Rambler team Higglns replaced Welch at center, and Druhat went In at fullback, vice Crosby. On the kick-off in the second half the ball was sent to the soldiers' 10-yard line and was carried back to the 20-yard line, where Hlggins downed the runner. Swanson Scored for Ramblers. The Ramblers got the ball on a fum ble, and Swanson cleared the right end for 20 yards. Bowling went around the left end to the soldiers' five-yard line, and Swanson was pushed over the line for a touchdown. Druhat kicked goal. Score, 6-0. Sauvle replaced Sinclair as left tackle on the Vancouver eleven. The Ramblers got 10 yards for an off-side play, but lost the ball on a fumble at the 40-yard line. Swanson skirted the right end for 35 yards, and Dowling was sent through the center lor 10 yards. Dielschneider went around the left end for 20 yards, and it looked like another touchdown! A punting match ensued and the ball was advanced 10 yards by the soldiers, who were subsequently given five yards for a foul tackle. Vancouver tried to get through the center, but was forced back 10 yards, and again resorted to kicking. The ball was on the 40-yard line In the Samblers' territory when time was called. The Ramblers cheered the soldiers, the defeated eleven cheered the victors, and the spectatorscheered the bunch. There was a commendable absence of rough work and both elevens put up a clean, splendid game. Considerable money was wagered on the result, the locals being the short end In the betting.

Insinuation That There Were "Ring ers" in the ew York Eleven. NEW HAVEN. Conn., Oct. 27. Ugly stories are heard of the game between Columbia and Yale yesterday, the Yale students asserting that several of the men of the Columbia eleven were not bona-flde students. The Yale football authorities will not make any statement to that effect, but admit that an investi gation has been started. The under-grad-uates demand that there be no game next year with Columbia, but the manage ment will not say that that will be the course pursued. Coach G. Foster San ford, of Columbia, while here, denied ab solutely that a single man on the Co lumbia eleven was not a student in good standing In that university. The Yale coaches have said that no protest will be made about yesterday's game, but they do not deny the report that is current on the campus that Yale will refuse Co lumbia a date hereafter. Denial From Columbia. NEW YORK, Oct. 27. Columbia's foot- ball players and undergraduates general ly are Indignant over the insinuation made by Yale that Columbia had "ringers" on their team, even though an hour after they made the Insinuations they were re tracted. Professor George W. Kirchwy. of the Columbia faculty committee on athletics, when seen In regard to the eligibility of Columbia's gridiron men. said today: "The rules of the faculty committee provide that no one shall be allowed to represent the university in any public contest unless he can satisfy the com mittee that he Is and intends to be throughout the academic year, a bona fide member of the university, taking a full year's work." Football Player's Neck Broken. COLUMBUS, O.. Oct. 27.John SIgrlst, center rush of the Ohio State University football team, Is at one of the city hos pitals with a broken neck. SIgrlst was Injured in the game Saturday with West ern Reserve. An X-ray today showed the third cervical vertebrae was frac tured. An operation will be performed, but there Is little hope that it will avail. SIgrlst's body is paralyzed from the shoulders down. RACE TRACK SENSATION. Marking Pole at the Lexington Course "Was Moved. LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 27. The follow ing is a portion of the call Issued tonight by local breeders: All those interested In the breeding, training or racing of thoroughbred horses are requested to meet at the Phoenix Hotel, in this city, Tuesday noon, for the purpose of taking such action as may be necessary to determine the truth of re ports that a pole, supposed to mark three eighths of a mile from the wire at the Kentucky Association race track, was moved, and If the reports be found cor rect, to take such action as may be nec essary to expose and punish the person or persons guilty of moving it." The call is signed by H. A. Engman, Tevls Wilkerson, Milton Young, T. C. Mc Dowell, P. H. Johnson, J. C. Rogers, G. D. Wilson, B. G. Thomas, F. A. Dangerfleld, T. J. Carson, O. H. Chenault, Ed Kane, Charles McMeekln, P. H. Head ley, S. C. Lyne, W. S. Barnes, E. F. Clay and Camp bell Scott. Few Incidents In recent years have cre ated as much of a sensation among horse men as the suspicion, first given utterance last Thursday, Investigated Friday and proved Saturday that one of the poles marking the distances at the race track had Wednesday night been moved so as to make the pole marking three-eighths of a mile from the timer's stand 40 to 45 feet less than the supposed distance, and then moved back again Thursday night. Had It been only that the usual work outs were given, it would have made no further difference" than that several men, who Thursday, thought that they had phenomenal yearlings, found the mistake later. There wa, however, a gentleman from New York, Mr. Hill, the representaT tlve of Clarence Mackey, who was there Thursday, who timed a yearling he had been Invited to see make the short three eighths In 36fe seconds. He returned with an option on the colt, said to be $S0uo. Trainers at the track made the discovery of the change In the position of the pole. While no one is suspected, a popular de mand for an Investigation led to this call for a, meeting Tuesday. Cycling at Vallsburg. - NEW YORK, Oct. 27. At the Vallsburg, N. J., track today, Albert Champion, on a motor-bicycle, made a mile in 1:12 2-5, breaking the world's record for this sort of a machine. Champion made the old record of 1:15 about three weeks ago. Frank Kramer, the sprinting champion, rode his first race behind motor pace and defeated Bonnie Monroe, of Memphis, in two straight heats of a mile each. Time, first heat, 1:33; second, 1:31.

Oct 27 Indictments for using the malls for fraudulent purposes In many cities are waiting J. M. Reed, who is in jail here Reed is believed by the postal officials to be the same man who has been operating In different parts of the country under assumed names. His specialty Is a jackclips invention. This Is a device used to hold up the shafts of a buggy. The authorities have almost a perfect chain showing Reed's action In Portland, San Francisco and other West ern cities. Reed's plan, which he suc cessfully worked on a local pawnbroker. Is to go to his victim and show his model of the jackclips. At the same time he explains his destitute circumstances and offers a half interest In the Invention for any sum his victim will stand. A visit to the postoffice follows, where a regis tered letter, containing a money order, Is mailed to the patent office. This letter contains drawings of the model, etc. The victim keeps the receipt for the money order for his security. The victim keeps the registry receipt Later, the swindler returns and withdraws the letter, being allowed to do so under the law. He opens it and removes the money order and contents, and stuffs the letter with waste paper. The money order Is forwarded to a confederate In Washington. Reed was caught In the postoffice here after remalllng a registered letter. August Pautz. a tailor at 105 Grand avenue, Portland, was bilked on the scheme for S165. Pautz advanced money to the man, who was then operating under the name of Ross. The deal was consummated through Reed & Byers, pre sumably a patent attorney firm at 863 Mission street San Francisco. This firm acted as a go-between, and the Reed now in jail here answers the description se cured from San Francisco of the man seen at SG3 Mission street The officials have evidence to show the swindler has worked for years In Eastern cities before coming West Coal Near Gold Hill. GOLD HILL, Oct 26. Reed & Fletcher, who are developing cinnabar claims In the Meadows district, while sinking at a depth of 112 feet cut through a coal seam 12 Inches in thickness early in the week. Samples have been shown here which are apparently of good commercial quality, though only primitive tests have been applied. This fine, when considered In connection with similar previous discov eries In this district seems to Indicate the presence in that locality of coal in com mercial quantities. The seam lies below and behind a deposit of potter's clay which has been traced for a long dis tance, and It is believed that it can be uncovered in a number of places with comparatively little work. The discovery backs up the statement that the pros pectors put in the field In that district by the Oregon & California Railroad have found sufficient indications of coal to warrant the installing of a diamond drill plant for the purpose of prospecting the ground at depth. Lineman Electrocnted. VICTORIA, B. C. Oct 27. M. Dock ings, a lineman of the British Columbia Railway, while working on wires from Cold Stream, which brings power to the city, last night was accidentally electro cuted and was found this morning dan gling from a pole to which his dead body was attached by his belt He was a resi dent of Victoria. DEMANtf FOR FIREWOOD FANCY PRICES ARE LOOKED FOR IX SALEM. ' Shortage in the Supply Already Causes Quotations to Advance Other Oregon Keirs. SALES!, Oct 27. There is now an ex cellent opportunity for farmers residing near the Southern Pacific Railroad in this county to make a good profit on fire wood by shipping It to the Salem mar ket. Already 700 cords have been shipped In from the vicinity of Brooks and the present outlook is that Salem will take all that can be found within a dis tance of 20 miles. As was stated early in the Summer, there was a great shortage In the amount of wood cut for fuel In this vicinity last Winter. That shortage was made up in part by wood cut late in the Spring, but any man who tries to buy wood In Salem now, will soon find that the supply of seasoned wood Is yet very limited. " There were several causes for the short- 4 ------------ a .aaaaaa.a 4 w -w -w yr -V V V W V V V "V"V V W -VV V V V V f'f : OFFICERS OF THE MONMOUTH NORMAL SCHOOL FOOTBALL i-i JJi'imiiiiiiiiiiuHimiOiOilDMinniia ...

The Monmouth Normal School took on new life with the arrival of George A. Forbes, who accepts the position of physical director. Mr. Forbes will act as coach for the football eleven. Prior to coming to Oregon, he was physical director at the Berea College, in Kentucky. David Mathews, the new captain, Is a junior, but the activity he dis plays in college sports easily places him as a leader. He played end with the Astoria High School team In 1807, and quarterback in the team that represented Monmouth Normal School last year. He had charge of the team this year until the arrival of the new coach. Harry H. Belt, manager of the team, is one of the most popular stu dents In school. While he has never been prominent In football work, there Is no lack of confidence among the team as to hl3 fitness for the place. ' Following are the members of the team and the positions they fill: Fullback, Craven; halfbacks, Mathews and Allen; guards, backs, Wyman and Sloan; left end.

In past years the price of cord- I wood has not been very remunerative, . and farmers cut wood because times were hard and they needed the money. With . the coming of better times, many of the farmers dropped off a little on their wood cutting. Since wages have advanced, and there has been a good demand for la borers In more agreeable occupations, men could not be employed to cut wood at old prices. This caused a large de crease In the amount of wood cut to sup ply the local wood yards. It Is a mat ter of general knowledge that the supply of timber suitable for wood is getting scarcer every year, and that farmers are less disposed to cut what remains on their farms. With all these circumstances tending to decrease the supply, there has been a steady increase in the demand. The amount required at the state Insti tutions Increases every year, and with the return of more prosperous times, the consumption of fuel in factories, business houses and homes advances In a corres ponding degree. The amount of wood con sumed In Salem Is estimated at from 30,000 to 35,000 cords per year, and one man who has taken the trouble to gather statistics on the subject, places the esti mate at not less than 37,000 cords. The production of wood Is far short of that quantity this season. On Investigation of the wood supply early In .the Spring, some Salem busi ness men found that there was a very ma terial shortage, and they at once began to buy every cord they could get, paying a good price therefor. At the prices of fered they secured practically all that had been cut up to the time Spring work begins, and were then apparently In a position to dictate prices to Salem con sumers. The situation was disclosed by The Oregonlan, and Immediately farmers began cutting wood to supply the defic iency. Although many hundred cords were cut after the time when such work usually ceases, the supply Is still short, as Is evident from the price that Is be ing paid, and the small amount of wood offered for sale. Many farmers, have gathered up all the old wood, bark, fir poles, etc., that they could find, and have sold It In Salem at prices which three years ago could not have been secured for good wood. Many people who usually buy their Winter's wood In the Summer, are not yet supplied, but are buying a cord at a time as they need it. While there Is sufficient wood for Immediate use. there is every promise of a scarcity be fore Spring and fancy prices may be ex-- pected after the roads are soaked by Winter rains. Some of the wood bought In the early Summer for speculation Is still held for higher prices than are now offered, and the owners have no fear that the price will be forthcoming. It Is learned that the men who shipped In wood from Brooks disposed of it with out "trouble In fact, It was sold before It was shipped. Small fir wood now sells at $3 per cord and large fir at $3 75, and even higher prices are reported. Oak wood brings $4 to $4 50. At these prices, farmers can pay freight charges and still make a good profit by shipping wood to the Salem market. These prices are $1 per cord higher than wood brought three years ago, and another 50,cents per cord may be added before Spring. Women's Club Reception. The Salem, Women's Club -gave a re ception In the parlors of the Willam ette Hotel yesterday afternoon, and a very pleasant affair it proved to be. About 50 members of the club and as many of their invited guests were pres ent. The afternoon was spent in. social conversation and In the enjoyment of a brief programme. Mrs. E. B. Piper gave a recitation and responded to a hearty encore. Mrs. Jordan Purvine and. Miss Calbreath rendered vocal selections and Mrs. Willman favored the ladles with piano music. Miss Sophia Wolf, .of Sll verton, gave a dramatic reading. Lemon punch, and wafers were served during the afternoon. The purpose of the reception was to give all the members of the club an op portunity to become acquainted with each other, and to introduce those of their friends who might desire to participate In the good work being carried on by the club. The plans and objects of the club were explained and It is anticipated that as a result of the reception the mem bership will be considerably increased. Salem Notes. Lieutenant-Governor W. A. Northcott, of Illinois, head consul of the Modern Woodmen of America, will lecture In the Grand Opera House Tuesday evening on "Uses and Benefits of Fraternal Organ izations." The lecture will be open to the general public. Mrs. Hallle Parrlsh Hlnges will render several vocal selec tions. , Funeral services over the remains ot the late Douglas Pickett were conducted to day from an undertaking parlor, and burial was had in Lee Mission cemetery. PROFITABLE SPECULATION. Real Estnte Deal Thai Benefited a Baker City Lodge. BAKER CITY, Oct. 26. The sale of 160 acres of land to William Baldock to day by Baker City Lodge, I. O. O. F., for $2000, calls to mind 'a speculation by one of the fraternal societies of this city that has proved exceedingly successful. Several years ago the lodge had $1500, which It was ordered should be Invested In real estate. The trustees of the lodge, .A.A. - .ArtAAl ft--A iftft-ftfftftftftfrfrfrC1 ---------.-- . TEAM. MB FP&8& &."" .r .Wfymt .SSe2SH& SSX, -o ------- a after looking over the list of desirable investments offered, purchased 320 acres of land near the city. When the boom came in the early '80s, a Portland syndi cate bought the land of the lodge for $10,000, paying $5000 down, the remaining $50C0 to be paid in installments with in terest until it was all paid. The syndicate paid the installments and interest until the lodge had received, In Interest and payments on the principal, $11,000, and there still remained a balance of $800 duo when the syndicate defaulted in the pay ments. In due time the lodge foreclosed on the mortgage which It held on the en tire property, and it was sold, the lodge buying it in for the amount of the judg ment. A short time before the time for redemption by the syndicate under the foreclosure sale expired, the syndicate made a proposition to the lodge to deed back 160 acres of the land, provided the lodge would give a clear title to the re maining 160 acres. With this money and other money which had accumulated in the meantime, the lodge purchased a lot on Main street and erected a handsome two-story brick lodge room, and today the lodge is clear of debt, and with the money received for the land just sold has almost $4000 on hand. The syndicate, after holding the 100 acres of land for a few years, sold It for $1500 to J. W. Pat terson, who has plotted It up into 10-acre fruit and vpgetable farms. Baker City Sales Day. BAKER CITY, Oct. 26. Despite the unfavorable action taken by the Cham ber of Commerce at the meeting held last Monday evening, when the proposition of Colonel Judson, the Industrial agent of the O. R & N., was considered, Baker City Is to have an industrial fair or sales day. The consensus of opinion, as expressed by the members of the Cham ber of Commerce, was that there was no need of a fair, or sales day, for this city or county, for the reason that everything offered for sale, In the way of farm pro duce, In this city, always found ready sale at the highest market price, because the demand is always greater than the supply. Colonel Judson" seems to have anticipated this condition of affairs, as he has advised the secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce that he will come to the fair, in company with a number of horse, cattle and sheepralsers, who will offer for sale a lot of fine blood stock to the farmers and stockralsers In this county. Colonel Judson's plan promises to be a success, for the reason that there Is a demand for a few well-bred young horses, as well as blood cattle and sheep, among the local stockgrowers. It has been suggested that If a few dozen fine chickens and turkeys were placed on sale there would be a ready sale for them, provided the prices were reasona- The people of this city do not seem to appreciate the effort Colonel Judson and the officers of the O. R. & N. are mak ing to improve the trade and commerce of this section of the state, or at least that is the view taken of the matter by some of the leading citizens of Baker City and another meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce has been called for Mon day, when steps will be taken to co-operate with the movement which has been inaugurated by Colonel Judson. Held for Arson. CENTRALIA, Wash., Oct. 26. Richard Buchanan, Arthur Hill and John Kelley, three men held for setting Are to the City Jail something over a month ago, received a hearing today before Justice Miller. Buchanan was bound over to the Superior Court on the charge of arson: the other two were discharged, as the evidence presented was not sufficient to hold them. The three men have just com pleted a 30 days' sentence for larceny. They were strangers In this locality and evidently were tramping at the time they were arrested. They were originally charged with burglarizing a trunk at the depot. After serious Illness, Hood's Sarsapa rilla Imparts the strength and vigor so much needed. DEMOCRACY OF IDAHO THE PARTY DIVIDED INTO TWO FACTIONS. Trouble Between the Dynamite Wing and the Law and Order Element Senatorial Candidates. BOISE, Idaho. Oct. 27. There Is an un usual and clamorous discord In. the ranks of the Idaho Democracy. The party has separated Itself into two grand divisions, called the "dynamite faction" and the "law-and-order wing." The Inception of this divided Democracy dates back to the Wardner riots. With great political zeal an effort was made by both parties at the last election to win over that small con tingent of Influence In Shoshone County which supported the riotous conduct of the miners. It Is generally conceded that a false estimate was placed on what was characterized as the "dynamite vote." The best judges of the situation all agree that the dynamite element played but a small part In the election, so far as votes were concerned. That there was great activity in Sho shone County to procure the release of Paul Corcoran, has never been questioned. The Incentive to get Corcoran out of the penitentiary was so strong that the In fluence of the movement was apparently multiplied. As a result the present ad ministration came into power saddled with an incubus. The pardon of Paul Corcoran has wrought irreparable dam age to the success of the Demqcracy, for it has split it squarely in two. Governor Frank W. Hunt is charged with undiplo matic conduct when he answered his crit ics and sought to explain just why he signed Corcoran's pardon. While his ex planation did not: even please his friends, it furnished arguments for his political enemies. As a natural outcome the Gov ernor has found but little happiness dur ing the last few weeks. There is only one dominant political de sire in. all Idaho just at this time. It relates to the United States Senatorshlp. Henry Heltfeld, the Populist farmer, wants to succeed himself, but even his best friends question his ability to do so. He landed In office by means of a cataclysm, and has not done anything since. His name has not been mentioned publicly for a long time, except when he shook hands with President Roosevelt, who, in the vernacular of the plains, said "How?" This meeting was reported fully, and the Senator saw his name In print. Governor Hunt Is said to have a pain ful longing to become United States Sen ator. The "law-and-order wing" of his party seriously questions his popularity for the place since he openly espoused the cause of the rioters. Ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg, who made a splendid rec ord as an executive, naturally wants to be a United States Senator. He leads the "law-and-order wing"' of his party, and Is extremely popular with men of all po litical faiths. Betting men would prob ably lay wagers that "Frank Steunenberg could secure the nomination If Shoshone County could be kept in. the background. There Is quite as much ambition among the Republican brethren looking toward the United States Senatorshlp. George L. Shoup, who gave his place to Fred T. Du bois, Is said to have the assurance that he might be elected Governor. It Is Inti mated that he wants to be Governor so that he may resign and become once more a Senator. This Is alleged to be his plan of action, as he accomplished the feat before. The forced resignation of Joseph Pink ham, Deputy United States Marshal, has caused somewhat of a flurry. It will be remembered that Joseph Plnkham. has been attached to the United States Mar shal's office for more than a quarter of a century. Through good and 111 report he has held his ground, and this sudden shelving of a veteran has caused com ment There Is a young Republican ele ment in Idaho that bodes no good to the old warhorses of the party. The Thunder Mountain Strike. Numerous questions are being asked by mining men regarding the .new gold dis coveries at Thunder Mountain. There are those who declare the ( strike to be the most marvelous in the history of mining. They say that It is simply a mountain of ore, of such wonderful richness that no other discovery can compare with It. The gold Is free in a kind of soft rock that Is easily crushed. The rock has the ap pearance of being decomposed. So little dependence can be placed In common re port that Thunder Mountain goes begging for believers In its reported richness. There seems to be a tendency, however, to wait and see what time will do for the fame of this new discovery. Thunder Mountain Is 1S5 miles from Boise In a northerly direction. For a dis tance of 105 miles there Is a wagon road, the remainder of the way having only a trail. As there Is an assay office at Boise, the records of the assayed gold from Thunder Mountain will be the most con vincing proof. A 10-stamp mill Is said to be on the ground and will be In opera tion by December 1. The bond of $100, 000, said to be held by Colonel Dewey on the claims of the Caswell brothers, has not yet been taken up. It Is reported that Colonel Dewey will take up the bond within the next two weeks. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Officers Elected by the "Various Classes. EUGENE, Oct. 27.

The first issue of the University of Ore gon Monthly, for the present college year, has made Its appearance. The Monthly Is neat typographically, and Its literary standard Is up to Its usual order of ex cellence. "Optlme" Is a sonnet to Words worth, by Herbert Cromble Howe, the new professor in English literature. Pro fessor E. D. Ressler, of the chair of edu cation, writes on "Secondary Schools and the University." "Kilbuck," Is a storiette by Miss Grace Plummer, '02.

"If I did not know positively and abso lutely that my new home treatment will cure all diseases of men, even when all other methods ot treatment fall. I would consider I was committing a crime to make such a statement to the public. Nothing Is so precious to a man as his health nothing so horrible as an Insane Asylum or the grave. Little Ills, if not promptly cured, often result In obstinate chronic diseases. I know that my new dis covery is the most marvelous treatment ever known, and I intend to glvo its benefit to the world. I Intend that every man. woman and child who comes for treatment shall have It I propose to tell the sick, absolutely free of charge. If they may be restored to perfect health. I would rather be a benefactor to the sick man than to have the wealth of Croseus." The above are remarkable words, but those who know Dr. Kessler, and have tried his treatment, can vouch for their absolute truthfulness. He restores the wasted power of sexual manhood. He also cures to stay cured VARICOCELE. STRICTURE. SYPHILTIC BLOOD POISON. NERVO-SEXUAL DEBILITY and all associate diseases and weaknesses of man.
