INJURED IN FOOTBALL GAME
Midshipman Wilson Paralyzed and in
Serious Condition.
Annapolis, Md.. Oct. 19. It was stat
ed at the naval academy that the con
dition of Earl D. Wilson of Covington,
K, tie nvdshlpnian who was Injured
In the football game on Saturday,
was serious. There has been no sign
of a clmtnuticn of the paralysis which
Has affected his limbs aud upper body
tilnce Saturday and unless this takes
place today the apprehension will be
of the gravest character. Wilson was
examined by the X ray and no fracture
of the spjnal column was found, but

of the spinal cord, causing a bloody
tumor. Wilson's chance of recovery
depends upon whether this clot Is
large or small and whether or not It
will be absorbed.
FREIGHT CARS IN RUNAWAY
New York, Oct 19. No mere finan
cier or politician or explorer ever re
ceived a welcome that could hold a
candle to the one the American suf
fragettea got up for Lady Cook, form
erty Miss Tennessee Claflin, who was
a passenger on the liner Celtic, which
Arrived here.
R seemed, indeed, as if every pas
senger on the Celtic was a suffragette
sympathizer. The crowd on deck got
as excited over "The Star Spangled
Banner" and "Dixie" and "There'll Be
a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight,"
that they cheered and the crowd on the
dock, who had come down to Bay how
do you do to personal friends, joined
in the shouts of the suffragettes. A
aqnad of deputy surveyors and in'
specters escorted Lady Cook down the
gang plank and a roar of enthusiasm
burst forth. The executive committee
of the National Progressive, union es
corted Lady Cook to a taxicab and
started Immediately for headquarters,
The rooms of the union and the en
trance to the house had' been elab
orately decorated with messages of
welcome in red lmmortels.
After ten minutes of work on the
part of the cameras, a reception was
JmM. Then Lady Cook told a little
about her plans for the coming cam
paign. "I have more faith In Presi
dent Taft than I had in his predecess
or," the said. "He doesn't think that
be is the only important thing In the
country, and he has a bright mind.
I think he will listen to reason and
that he realizes that the time has
come when the women of America
nnst be reckoned with. I will not
best about the bush any longer but go
ta Washington and' have it out
wfth him. I shall probably take a
house there in December, and shall
atart a campaign similar to the one
that my sister and I carried on in the
70s.' I am going to devote my life and
my fortune to helping women to win
the ballot, and I am not going to stop
at anything that I think will further
my aim. I Intend to spend $1,000,000
on the election of congress."

But Ho w Good"
that's the whole philosophy of clothes buying as viewed
from our standpoint. We are not concerned so much
about cheap clothes there are plenty of them but we
are concerned about good clothes, they're not so
numerous. We're in the market all the time for good
clothes. It doesn't matter how far we have to go for
them, Just so they are good. That's the point
with us. That's what makes our Quality Line the
safest line for you to buy. Our "censorship" of every
thing that goes into it, is your protection. We have
never found a man yst who complained he had paid too
much for our Quality Clothes We have seen plenty
of men who have bought cheap clothes who, thought
they paid a bi price for what they got. The best is
the cheapest after all, because nothing is cheap that
