FROM MANSION
TO AN ASYLUM
Brilliant Society Kntalnen Is a
tient in an Illinois Institu
tion. Pa-
Chicago, Nov. 16. From an es
tablished position in society, with a
comfortable fortune at her command,
to a ward of the county, held prison
er in one of the cottages for the In
sane at the Dunning institution, is
tho strange change wrought by time
in the affairs of Mrs. Emanuel Ruehl.
During the tour of America of
Prince Henry of Prussia Mrs. Ruehl
reached the pinnacle of her ambition
as an entertainer, her home being the
scene of one of the most brilliant
entertainment given in honor of tho
visiting &Ion of royalty.
Since that time her fortunes have
been adverse. Her husband died,
and, advancing the plea that she was
dissipating the wealth he left her
with a lavish hand, her relatives are
alleged to have secured her detention
in the asylum for tho Insane. Her
life at Dunning has been lonely.
Her only companions were th edelud
ed inmates of the cottage. Her rel
atives never visit her. Her friends
do not know she is there.
MARSHFIELD SECOND
TEAM WINS GAME
The football game played yester
day between the Second teams from
the North Bend and Marshfield pub
lic Dchools was won by the Marsh
field boys, the score being 18 to 5.
There was some dispute at first as
to the elegiblllty of the players, and
the North Bend boys did not want
the Marshfield team to play any of
the first team, while they had threo
of the North Bend First team pres
ent to play with them. The matter
was settled by older heads, who ad
vised having things satisfactory all
round, and only one first team player
was used out of tho Marshfield team.
The first half resulted In two touch
downs for Marshfield to nothing for
North F9nd. Pat Flanagan, who
was playing with Marshfield, retired
shortly before the first half was fin
ished in favor of a smaller boy. Tho
boys on both sides played well, and
the average weight was so nearly
equal that a spectator could not sav
which teim was the heavier.
CROWDS OF NEWCOMERS
FIND LODGINGS SCARCE
The number of people who como
In daily and fill hotels and prlvato
dwellings reminds tho Marshfield cit
izen that no evidence of hard times
is at hand In this city. The streets
are crowded and become plainly
more so each evening. The steamers
bring families from San Francisco,
Portland and other points and many
also arriv6 over tho stage roads.
Marshfield should do everything in
Its power to holp tho newcomers to
find rooms and all who have rooms
which they are willing to furnish for
the uso of the people should leave
their names at tho Times office or
at the Chambar of Commerce. It
Bhould bo remembered that although
tho new hotel will be built, it Is not
built yet, and that tho now arrivals
cannot sleep under the roof of ex
pectations nnd prospects, even In this
delightful climate.
FOOTBALL GAMES
THIS AFTERNOON
This afternoon tho double football
game will bo played on tho Marsh
field grounds. Two Independent
teams will battle for honors, and tho
winning eleven will afterwardj meet

will play aro all Marshfield products
and they are very ovenly matched.
The play will start at 1:30.
