Visitors Carry Home the Hon
ors of the Game.
COLUMBUS AGAINST NORFOLK ,
Score Was 17 to 0 Out the Locals
Were In the Qnmo All the Tlmo
nnd Vigorously Contested Each
Point.
Although the ithy was lowering , the
Hold wet and slippery and the route to
the field n panto of mud , thono who
braved the conditions iind wont out to
BOO the first football game of the Reason ,
between the Columbus aud Norfolk
high school teams Saturday afternoon
wore morn than repaid for the interest
they had taken , Although the ncoro re-
wilted In 17 to 0 Iu favor of the visitors ,
it was about as evenly contested and ex
citing n game as has boon given iu Nor
folk thiH pennon. The sooro does not In-
dionto a wnlk-nway for the visitors by
any moans , ns it would if the game had
boon base ball. Norfolk wnw in the
gnmo nil the tlmo , nnd every point wnfl
contested with vigor. The sooros of the
lending gnmcs of the snmo dny between
oollogo teams ranged from 0 to 0 to moro
than NO to 0. It can therefore bo judged
that the Norfolk gnmo was nn average
ono iu interest nnd the game does not
depend on cloudless skies nnd n dry field
ns does base ball , so that there should
have boon n orowd of spectators , and
there would Imvo boon if the people who
ndmiro good nthlotio contests had real
ized what they were missing.
The OolumbuH tonm averaged some
thing like 10 pounds npioco honvlerthnn
the Norfolk tonm and had n bolt triok
that made their ndvnntngo still greater.
Four or five of their heaviest mou had a
loop on the back of their bolts and
when a rush was to bo made they would
connect up in snoh n manner that it
took the combined strength of the Nor
folk team to stop them , nud if ono of the
combination got the boll the bahvuoo
would manage to drag him through the
Norfolk line , and at least ono of their
touch-downs was duo to this trick alone.
The Norfolk boys protested against the
harness being used but there WHB noth
ing in the rules to prevent nnd they
were compelled to take their modioluo
The small boy soou saw the injustice of
the sohomo which npponrs to hnvo boon
unjust only bocnuso the local team was
uot similarly cqnlppodand they bothoro (
the visitors with cries of "harness
Imrnofml" through the gamo.
In spite of these distinct advantage
the visitors found that the locals wore
not feeble opponents and they were compelled
polled to work nnd work hard for every
point. Frank Perry was the main
strength of the Norfolk liuo but every
ether member played n good game nnd
whether the tenm wns the aggressor , or
the defender of honors it was there with
nil its strength and scionco.
For n tiuio it looked as though the
first half would result iu n stand off.
The opposing teams kept crashing iuto
each other without gaining much ad
vantage and it was uot until nearly the
end of the half that the visitors sue-
oeodcd in making n touchdown nud n
goal that mnko the result 7 to 0 In their
favor. It gave them encouragement
nud the pocond half was devoted to
piling up the score in their favor. They
met with such sturdy opposition , how-
.evor.that two moro touchdowns nud two
more goals were all they were able to
ouako.
Much time wns taken out in both
"halves , principally by Norfolk , nud the
hut half of 20 minutes wns moro than
nn hour In playing. The tenms wore
penalized several times , bnt the visitors
were placed back moro frequently than
the locals. They took these decisions
without much protest , however , nud the
result iudioated that they could well
afford to ns they hnd nn advantage
which penalties could not overcome.
About a score of men , a trio of ladles
nnd a half hundred yelling kids com
posed the attendance at the game nud
finances suffered nccordingly. If next
Saturdny is nt all favorable the crowd nt-
tondlug the return gnmo with Randolph
should bo n large ono. It promises to
bo equal or bettor iu interest than the
one of last Saturday nud those who ou
joy n good game will have cause to
regret if they do not see it.
F. L. PUTNEY.
Republican Candidate for Represent
alive Makes a Statement.
To the voters of Madison county : I
IB by no menus pleasant to lay bare the
condition of one's household bnt a souse
of honor and a duty I owe the voters
prompts nnd requires this statement.
The nominee of any party for so impor
tant au office ns representative should
not fall to do his duty to the party that
has nominated him. His party should
not be mndo to suffer through failure on
his part to make nn honorable canvass.
Honesty and fair dealing is required at
nil times. This being true and the fact
ithat I will be unable to assist in secur
ing my own election by the nsnnl
methods , forces mo to reveal the follow
ing conditions :
Mrs. Putney died in February , of
pneumonia , leaving with me four child-
ion , the eldest not yet ten years old ,
am Attempting to keep together.
Lust Sunday the youngeitt wnfl at limited
with ponrlot fever nnd the homo quar-
nntlnrd by the board of health. Thus
nin forced to dooldo between duly to
mrty nud duty to my children , nnd I
luoldu that my first duty is to my
ivnilly. I nm nwnro that In BOIIIO
OROH disinfectants are uswl and temporary
ary almonco Indulged in by businoRH
non , but In these eases children nro
mdor the watchful eye of n mother.
MiyHloians are agreed that thin disease
s peculiarly treacherous and mislead-
tig , nnd that the great danger lies iu
exposure nftor the nubsidonco of the
fovor. Under these conditions I con
clude my plnoo is plainly with my
children nnd I would not abandon thorn
f by HO doing I could represent Madison
county for the next twenty yearn nt
Lincoln. I would not imperil the
future of a child for nny polltlcnl honor ,
regret the Hltuntlon , regret the nooufl-
sity of this oxplnnntion , bnt justice to
the convention requires it.
Under thooo circumstances I am wili
ng to surrender my nomluationjto the
county central couimlttoo if such u
course is doomed advisable.
AH to my nttltudo on legislation if
olootod , I hnvo nlrcndy Hpokon favorably
to the rehabilitation of the asylum at
Norfolk. Concerning other legislation
that may bo attempted I Hhnll not con
sistent with good conscience nnd on-
lonvor to bo just nnd fair In nil matters
affecting the wolfnre nud honor of the
Btnto , holding no ouo pnrtionlnr in
tercut above another. The next session
will bo devoted purely to legislation
trobnbly mostly of n remedial nature ,
nud no ouo onu state his position ou nn
ssuo that ban not yet boon raised. I
CRU Bay this , however , thnt before giv
ing my vote to nny uioiumro , I shall nt
leant bo firmly rooted in the Idea thnt I
am right. I do not coucolvo that nny
legislation can bo attempted iu n state
legislature affecting the Industrial con
ditions of the people in its popular souse.
Should suoh opportunity present itself ,
shall most certainly support pnrty
measures , booauso I believe in the pol
icies embodied in the national platform ,
am persuaded to this Idon because
since 181)7 ) under such policies wo have
gone from ouo climax to another iu the
magnitude of our industrial expansion.
In this time the "crown of thorns" bos
boon lifted from the "brow of labor" aud
industrial paralysis haa boon "crucified
upon a cross of gold. " The dollar is
chasing the wage earner instead of the
wage earner chasing the dollar. In
stead of limited nnd restricted domestic
aud foreign commerce , our business
hns ronohod snoh n volume nnd value
that figures almost fail to measure it.
I think the latter condition preferable.
Possibly this state of affairs hns como
through good luck ; If so , it is bettor to
mvo good luck nud plenty than have
nisory nud want ns the horitngo of n
rhoory. It is bettor to hnvo n domnud
or the products of the farm thnn n
glutted market. In fnot I think it
> ettor for nil thnt things go long about
as they are now. Certainly the farmer
can never expect to improve ou the
iricos ho has received for so loug a
wriod , by any change.

she rotnruod both men niado a rush past

Sheriff Olomouts waa ou Kids way
homo from Norfolk ou the ] evening
freight aud whonjho reached there nnd
learned of the escapoj of J thoJ'prisoners
ho was HO prostrated by the intelligence
that it waa found nocossnryjto take him
homo aud put him to bod.
The sheriff ] know fitlmt | Mills had

broke the look , howoverand whou Mrs.
Olomouts appeared withjtho hot water
both prisoners were together iu the jail
corridor and succeeded In' rnshlug past
her and through the door to , freedom
before she was uwaro what was taking
place. At a rocout sitting of the court
both men were givou the privilege of
pleading guilty and receiving such a
sentence that such a plea would ordin-
airly outitlo them. to. Thoy' refused ,
however , aud were hold to await the
regular sitting of the court.
Bloodhounds have beeu sent for aud
an effort will bo made to 'overtake the
prisoners in that manner.
Sheriff Olomouts unearthed a desperate
plan which Millsjhad laidfor ; ] offectiug
au escape about n week ago. Thisplau
was to have boon put iu execution a
week ago Monday , but its discovery by
the sheriff provoutod the effort being
made. Mills is cousidorod oue of the
smoothest as well as'one of thojfniost
desperate mou with whomjthejofllcials
of Madisou county have had to deal.
Ho was apparently satisfied with his
couuty jail lifo , but ns the time approached
preached when the district court was to
sit ou his case with the probability that
ho would bo sent to the penitentiary for
a term of years , ho conmieuced to grow
restless aud sigh for the freedom of
which ho had beeu deprived , ns well as
plan to secure it.
The forger had a lady friend iu Ohio
with whom ho was iu correspondence.
Ho told her that his fellow prisoner had
refused to engage with him iu a plan of
escape and wished for a dope of mor
phine with which to flx him. The
woman , believing that Mills was being
persecuted by ouemies , agreed to help
him and ho rocolved a suspicious look
ing letter ou the first of the mouth
which the sheriff opened and found to
contain the morphine. With this he
was to dope Howell and summon the
sheriff to care for him. While the
sheriff was thus engaged ho was to
throw pepper iu the officer's eyes and
make his escape during the confusion.
A paper containing the pepper was con
cealed iu Mills' bnuk.
While the sheriff was exposing to Mills
what he had learned of his plans of
escape that geutlemau wore the
unconcerned , unfathomable expres
sion that was his while ho was
hold in Norfolk nwniting his prelimi
nary hearing. When ho was escorted
to the steel cngo nud locked iu ho took
it as a matter of course bnt it is now
appoaraut that ho had been n long way
from relinquishing all plans of oscapo.
It is evident either that Howell had
expected to escape with him all the
time orjthat his assistance had boon
secured since Mills was confined iu the
cage as it is cou elusive that Mills had
Howoll's assistance iu breaking from
the cage.
During the absence of the sheriff the
prisoner had before endeavored to get
concessions from Mrs. Olemouts. He
tried to persuade her once to permit him
to take a little fresh air and milk the
cow for her , bnt Mrs. Olemeuts in
formed him that she liked to milk the
cow pretty well herself and he found
that ho could not persuade her to assist
hla escape so planned to take it regard
less.

After the commission of his crime iu
Norfolk , Mills disclosed the fact that ho
was an adopt at evasion , concealment
aud escaping. Ho endeavored to make
n run from President Bucholz of the
Norfolk National bank who had ono-
cnodod in apprehending him , nud hln

DOWN IN A SALT MINE ,
kn Ocrnnlon When One' * Dignity
Blunt lie Set Aihlc.
II Is only the elect among travelers
who find their way to BerehtoHgndcn ,
in Bavaria , not very far from Salz
burg , writes u correspondent of the
London Tntlor. If jxu drive In a car
riage from thence by road , you are
stopped midway at a customs house
and llnd yourself leaving Austrian ter
ritory for Bavarian. Berchtcsgadcn is
beautifully situated , and It has two
noteworthy attractions , ono of them
the Koulgscc , thought by many the
most beautiful lake in the world , and
the otluvr the salt mines. A visit to the
sail mines gives ono au exciting hour.
Many tourists take tickets at the top ,
but many of the fair sex are deterred
from using them when they sec the
costume that is rendered essential to
the visit. In other words , they have to
abandon skirts nnd adopt a special
"rig out. " Quo may frequently observe
that ladles , torn between what they
consider modesty and curiosity , go two
or three times to the mines bcforo they
screw up their courage sufilclcnUy to
don the attlro aud pay the visit.
The necessity for women to abandon
the usual garment arises from the fact
that a portion of the mine can only bo
visited through the medium of a kind
of slide. This slide Is , however , the
best thing in the whole visit. It is a
great deal better than tobogganing ,
and , as one is In the dark and with
only a candle fastened to one's dress ,
It is not a little exciting.
The strangest Incident in the trip is
that of the illumination of what la
called "the salt lake. " You are rowed
across this lake In almost absolute
darkness , the illumination being pro
vided by a number of miners' lamps
round the lake , and the journey has a
very considerable welrducss. The next
best experience In the trip Is the final
rldo into daylight on the trucks. This
is a Journey through absolute darkness
for a very considerable way until final
ly one sees n little gleam of light in
the distance. Altogether , ns I have
said , between the toboggan slide , the
car ride and the boat Journey across
the salt lake the visitor to the Bcrch-
tesgaden salt mine has plenty for his
money. But , curiously enough , ho sees
very HtUe salt At any rate , the prepared -
pared salt that ono uses on one's break *
fast table is not at all in evidence.
Shifting the Responsibility.
An Irishman who traded in small
wares kept a donkey cart , with which
he visited the different villages. On
one occasion ho came to a bridge whcro
a toll was levied.
Ho found to his disappointment ho
had not enough money to pay It
A bright thought struck him. Ho UE
harnessed the donkey and put it into
the cart. Then , getting between the
shafts himself , he pulled the cart with
the donkey standing in it on to the
bridge.
In duo course ho was balled by the
toll collector.
"Hey , maul" cried the latter.
"Wbauris your toll ? "
"Begorra , " said the Irishman , "Just
ask the drolver. "
Ted nud Iho Text.
The golden text for a certain Sunday
school was , "And the child grew and
waxed strong In spirit" ( Luke 11 , 40) ) .
Little Ted's hand went up like a
flash when the superintendent asked :
"Can any of these bright , smiling llttlo
boys or girls repent the golden text for
today ? Ah how felad it makes my
heart to see so many little hands go
up ! Teddy , my boy , you may repeat it ,

And they nil heard this : "And the
child grew und waxed strong In spirit

BONE FOOD
Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
rickets if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food , blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
Scott's Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses every day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter ,
loose joints grow stronger and
firmrfess comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Right food will cure it.
In thousands of cases Scott's
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood. .

When the Chimney
is choked with soot , the fire languishes
nnd goes out. When the bronchial
tubes are clogged witn phlegm , the
flame of life flickers. Intelligent treat
ment with Allen's Lung Balsam brings
np the phlegm , allays inflammation ,
stops the oough nnd pain in the chest
nnd , in a word , overcomes those terrible
oolds which if neglected soon become
consumption.
