Oakley Average 1G0 AveragelG2 Today is tho eventful time with tho football boys of Marshfleld and North Bend. Great things are ex pected by tho supporters of each side, and tho teams aro said to bo In the best of condition. Those who go out to the gridiron this afternoon will witness football such as is played by college teams, for'tho members of tho teams which are to compete are to a largo extent players who had college experience and the ad vantage of coaching by expert art ists. There has been considerable anxiety on the part of tho managers of each of tho elevens to know ex actly what their adversaries would average in weight, and both sides were kept in tho dark as to what the other would line up with to day. North Bond believed that Marshfleld would have a lot of big players, and Marshfleld- thought she would run up against a lot of giants when they met. Each manager had kept tho weight of his team a secret for tho purposo of annoying his op ponents, but yesterday the Times reporter got the average of both teams, and wonderful to relate, they average within two pounds of an equality. Under such circum stances, tho side which is beaten, cannot complain of being crushed down by "Beef" as is often tho cry when a team Is worsted. Both teams havo been practicing faithfully during the past week, and soveral of the North Bend players were here yesterday and tried tho Marshfleld gridiron to see what it was like and to post their team on tho conditions. Tho referee has not yet been chosen, though Lee Nichols is men tioned as probable. Another candi date Is presented by the North Bend contingent in tho person of a man who has played as sub on the Yalo team. The managers of the teams met yesterday and after a friendly talk, postponed selection of a ref ree until today, Just before the game. Other officials will be select ed at tho same time. The game will commence promptly at 2:30, and will consist of halves of not less than 25 minutes each. Possibly, the first half may bo put at 30, or even 35 minutes. There will be a game whether the weather Is propitious or not. Tho feeling of rivalry has come to such a point that, both sides aro determined that there will bo no backing out, even if it rains Pitchforks. Tho dopo on tho result is all at sea. Tho betting, if there is any has not developed, yet today is ex pected to bring forth something in that line. Everybody in both cities who cares for tho sport is figuring on attending tho game, and should the day be fine, the baseball attend ance of last summer will be but a memory. Ont nf SM800 cash on hand In the City Treasury $2100 is held for warants and interest that have been called in by the Treasurer and not presented for payment. REPRIMAND FROM JUDGE Bradley Case Becomes So Startling That Judge Orders Children Out. WOMEN MEET IN HOTEL Evidence of Encounter Between Mrs. Bradley nnd Mrs. Brown nt Pocatello Hostelry. Washington, Nov. 27. Through out tho day testimony offered In the trial of Mrs. Bradley was most dam aging to tho defendant. Many wit nesses who talked with her after the shooting and others who attended her while In jail hero, testify that not at any time had they any doubt of her sanity and declared their belief that her condition was rational and that her language was coherent. Sever al witnesses who talked with her In Salt Lake City prior to the shooting gave evidence to similar effect. A ui-ainadc feature of the day was the description by Soren Chrlstensen, of Salt Lake City, of an encounter be tween Mrs. Bradley and Mrs. Brown In a hotel at Pocatello, In the summer of 1906. , On that occasion Mrs. Brown discovered Mrs. Bradley in a hotel with Senator Brown and at tacking her, attempted to choke her and asked to be allowed to kill her. The cries of Mrs. Bradley brought the Senator to her rescue and when tho whole, party Including the .wit ness, had an all night discussion of tho difficulty, during which Brown, turning fiercely upon his wife, de nied ho was the father of her son Max, and at the same time admitted he was the father of Mrs. Bradley's two children. An outburst of de nunciation by Mrs. Brown of her hus band and Mrs. Bradley followed, af ter which the Senator and defendant went to another hotel where they called for drinks. Archibald Living ston, tho Senator's stenographer, tes tified ho had often told Mrs. Bradley falsehoods in order to quiet her and avoid trouble for the Senator and himself. Judge Stafford stopped tho trial today long enough to dismiss from the court room parties who- had with them an eleven year old girl. The testimony today, and every day, has been sometimes unfit for children to hear. It was expected the testi mony would be all in today, but at tho last minute tho district attorney subpoenaed three additional wit nesses. It Is now almost certain tho testimony will bo concluded Friday, to which day court was adjourned. BRYAN MAKES FUN OF ANIMAL SYMBOLS Says Elephnnt Is Pound Only Certain Latitudes and on Parade. in Washington, Nov. 27. W. J. Bry an was tendered a banquet and re ception by the united democracy of the District of Columbia. Five hundred democrats partook of a $3 dinner and more than douDie tne number participated In the recep tion and feast of oratory that fol lowed. Bryan was enthusiastically and repeatedly encored during his speech which was on the "Point of View." Bryan prefaced his speech by numerous references to animal symbols of political parties. He said he found a donkey wherever he trav eled and always found the donkey tho servant of the common people, while tho elephant was found in only certain latitudes and generally on parade. He accused President Roose velt of having adopted several dem ocratic doctrines, in which he had re ceived no sympathy from his party leaders, but stated there are still coirnrnl democratic doctrines which tho president has not wkbu, among theso being tariff reform, election of senators by direct vote, recognition of the Filipino independ ence and the position of the demo crats on tho subject of government by injunction. ...,,. !... -.

North Bend and Marshfleld should have some ad vantage by reason of their having played several games. Walking Seems Good. Chicago, Nov. 27.

FELL THIRTY-FIVE FEET INTO THE MUD An incident happened at Southport yesterday which might havo been a fatality, but under tho termination it had, proved more of an amusing spectacle than otherwise. B. Wilson, was riding a train across a bridge near Southport and lost his balance and fell off. Tho distance to tho mud and water was at least thlrty-flvo feet, but Wilson landed right side up with as much precision as would a cat. Ho had on rubber boots, and tho force of bis fall drove his feet and legs into the mud and water nearly to his hips and above tho top of tho boots. Wilson came from his pre dicament laughing and happy to think the result was no worse. Fruit cako now on sale at Cor thell's Delicatessen. NEED TO FIND TOE WITNESSES Kleinschmidt Case at Berkeley Puzzles Police Love Let ters of Girl Sought. HEARD MEN QUARRELLING Several Witnesses Who Know of De tails Refuse to Como For ward. Berkeley, Nov. 27. Although Harry Kleinschmidt has been In custody eight days charged with kill ing Frank Bellows last July, author ities still lack four witnesses to com plete the chain of evidence against him. These are two men and two women. All four passed along Rus sel street westward In tho direction of Plnei-street on the night of July 20, when Kleinschmidt and Bellows were quarrelling In the rear of th0 Kleinschmidt resldonco In Clar mont, R. M. Peck accompanied Bel lows to the corner of Peck and Rus set on the day of his death. On tho corner six persons passed him going' down streets from tho direction of the KUenschmidt home. Two aro known to the authorities. They are a well known young married couple, well known in society and already tho wife has told of angry words coming from the direction of the Kleinschmidt yard. Four others aro yet to be located. Bellows went to Klelnschmldt's on appointment with a young man who was supposed to have possession of letters taken from tho trunk of Blanche Kerfoot. These Bellows declined to procure. Ho evidently suspected trouble, for he took Peck with him, leaving him at at Pine and Russel, where Bellows Peck waited an hour for Bellows, not hearing any word from him. Chief of Police Vollmer denies the reports that Miss Elsa Lang, a prom inent young society woman has left town and become a missing witness. Miss Lang went to Santa Rosa solely to avoid Inqulsitlvo persons nnd it Is said she was not connected at any time with Vollmer. She says she knows nothing about tho case and he had no Idea of calling her as a wit ness. The police aro reticent re garding their theory as to how Klein schmidt accomplished Bellow's death. According to Peck, Klein schmidt telephoned to Bellows, tell ing him ho could havo the letters if ho would come to tho student's home. Fearing violence, Bellows borrowed Peck's revolver. The two separated Pine and Russell, where Bellows asked Peck to wait. The night was dark and ho could not see where Bellows went after leaving him. According to Information obtained by the police, Bellows went to tho Kleinschmidt house. The door was answered by Miss Kleinschmidt, who told Bellows her brother was wait ing him at tho rear of tho house, This was the last over seen of the young man alive. Tho pollco theory is that Bellows was tho victim or cyanldo of potash forced into his mouth while off his guard by Klein schmidt. How this was accomplished, the police refuse to say. nni 0RAD0 GIRL QUITS LIFE WITH BULLET Colorado Springs, Nov. 27. Jen nlo Griffith, the beautiful 18 year old daughter of Edward Griffith, master mechanic of tho Colorado Midland railroad, was found dead In bed at an early hour this morning, shot through tho heart with a re volver grasped in her hand.

CLOSES SALE OF RT GATES Cortleyou Decides There Is No Further Use of Receiving Subscriptions. CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVED Business Being Resumed All Over the Country Money Circulat ing In Many Cities. t Washington, Nov. 27. Owing to the large amount of sub- scrlptlons received, tho secro- tary of the treasury today an- nounced that no additional subscriptions will bo received for the three per cent certift- cates of Indebtedness after the close of business hours tonight. Tho decided improvement in business conditions throughout the country makes it quite pos- slblo the secretary will not ox- tend his allotment further than those already made. The sltua- tlon at the treasury today was so far relaxed that Secretary Cortelyou was able to leave early to attend the wedding of Miss Root and Lieutenant Grant. Chicago, Nov. 27. Those Chicago banks with savings departments who belong to the clearing house, havo sent out notice to persons who served 30 day notices of withdrawal request ing them to take their money at once. The requests have met with little re sponse. Ono bank, served with 300 notices, has heard from but twelve of its letters of request. There still remain sixty day notices affecting; amounts which exceed $100. Theso notices aro regarded by the banks as constituting no problem at all and there is said to bo llttlo doubt that they will be met when duo. Washington, Nov. 27. Secretary Cortelyou stated today that of the amount subscribed for Panama Canal bonds, ninety per cent will bo de posited In tho national banks pur chasing the bonds. All Indications point to a largo over subscription oC tho bonds. An Important fact re lating to the treasury certificate is sue Is that the amount alloted ap proximates $25,000,000. Of thla sum only about $3,500,000 has yet been pledged as security of tho circu lation. It is tho general belief in banking circles that it will not bo necessary to issue tho full amount of $100,000,000 which was author ized. Recommendations to bo made by Secretary Cortelyou In regard to financial legislation aro still tho sub ject of many rumors and questionable reports. Now York, Nov. 27. New York banks aro looking forward to ro sumption of cash payments within, a very short time. Return to a. strictly cash basis Is largely depend ent upon the loan rates on money Theso rates are steadily declining and call money practically wont bogging; In Wall Street lato today, though rates on tlmo loans remain compara tively high. By tho tlmo tho loan rates reach six per cent, It Is believed tho bankers will feel reassured enough to resumo cash payments. While It Is declared that banks hero aro ready to resume specio paymonta at once, they aro said to bo holding off until tho wants of tho country banks havo been satisfied. So long: as tho demand continues from tho in- te-lor, New York banks aro Inclined to hold their currency in roadlnesa for transfer and ask tho Indulgence of their local patrons.
