The same of basket ball between the high schools of Columbus aud David City, played JTridav night nt Orpheus hall, resulted in a victory for the home team, the final scoro stand ing -i to 2 1 in favor of Columbus, lioth teams distinguished themselves bv quick, accurate work. T.Iiss Styskal, David City's offiical, acted as rofereo during the first half of the game and probably called not lesB than twenty fouls on the Columbus team ami none on tho David City team. She airo had a faculty for callim time" when the ball came into "olumhns territory mid emlancen-il David Citv s goal. Dur ing tho first half of the game David City's team vnric was superior. At the closo of the first half 'the scoro stood 18 to :'. in favor of tho visitors. Dnrine the fecoud half Hilton White acted as referee and Miss Styskal as umpire. Hedwig .Tacggi had succeed ed Susie lloen at guard and it was at once apparent that Columbus was in tho gama to stay. Gmduallv tho tide turned until tho scora stood a tie, 24 to 21. At this point David City, re alizing that cortain defeat, nwaiced them, objected to a rnling of Referee White and declined to proceed with the game unlets two points were struck from tho Colunibas store. Mr. White believed that ouo referee was a plenty and mw no reason f jr com pelling Cr.luuihns to win her poiuts twice, and David City "struck." thus forfeiting two points to Colntn bns and leaving tho firm I score 2 to 21 in favor of the lionio team During the lat half of the game Columbus outplaved their opponents nt every point. Tho crowd was ceu crnos to tho visitors in applause and treatment. The eon; est was a linau cia! success. FOOT BALL The Columbus high school hoys took another gaiao Saturday by score of 11 to 0. ' Their victims this time were tho Fremont lnh school team. The game was played on a ploughed field where the fiuo interference of the home team was almost useless and the boys had to resort to liue bucks and tackle smashes. The Fremont team was heavier than the home team but their team work was greatly inferior. The boys got the rottenest deal that ever was beard of. Tho Fremont um pire and referee, Dunnan. was the worst. While the boys were making I guuu gtuus uu whs iwuauxmg mem ju ana zv yams wneu mere are no such penalties in the rules, the only ones being a & I.'i. Rut not withstand ing the handicaps of grounds, weights and unfairness, the boys beat them and kept them from scoring, though once the ball was lost by the Colum bus boys on their ." yard line but Fre mont was thrown back so hard and far that they lost all hope of winning and tried to put some of the Columbus players out of the game. Columbus kicked off and they were downed on their 2. yard line. Then they started out with line bucks and at first they seemed very strong and carried the ball well into Columbus territory before the boys woke up and held them for downs. Bv this time the half was most np and Colum bus tried some end runs but the ground made these almost impossible and Co lumbus lost tho ball. Rut Fremont also losr it en downs and then came the hardest part of the game. Captain Elliott seeing that end runs were not ell'ective tried lino bucks. Tho way Retterton & McCloud tore np their lino was astonishing. By a ser ies of tackle smashes, McCloud and Rottertou taking the ltall alternately, taking it down the field and Betterton at last took it ovor when the time was almost up Rut as he went over in the corner of tho field, tho goal was not kicked. Fremont then kicked to Columbus and the ball was on their 2. yard line when the time was up. Ret ween halves tun spectators told the Fremont players to put out as many of the Columbus players as possible hut In doing so they put out oue of their own men. In the second half they kicked to Columbns McCloud caught the ball aud refnrnrd it ten yards. Columbus lost the ball on downs and then held Fremont for down. But Columbus had worked tho ball to Fremont's 10 yard line when Elliott took the hall on a quarter back fake and went around loft end for 10 yards run and touch down. He then kicked goal and the score was 11 to 0. Fremont then kick ed to Columbus who got the balll on their 20 vard lino and Fremont held them for downs. It then looked pretty had for Columbus. They carried the ball up to Columbus' .1 yard line where they were held for downs and Columbus pnnted out of danger. It was now sun down and they were play iug by moon light. From this on rill the end of the game tho ball stayed on the Columbus 40 yard line neither side gaining much. Time of halves 20 minutes. Officials. Whito of Columbus a:rd Duuuan of Fremont.

The meeting of the Commercial club, called last night to investigate the propositon of a canning factory for Columbus, was attended by a small but representative number of Colum bus business men. And the keen in terest of those present was proved, not by their silent attention to the proposition as laid down by If. B. Miller, who as representative of the Hastings Industrial Company of Chic ago offers to bnild and eouiD the plant, bnt by their frequent iuterrup- iin80ni tions and pointed questions. W. A. McAllister, president of the Commercial club, had to leave early in the evening on legal business, and tnrned the meeting over to Mr. Earr, who introduced Mr. Miller to the club. Mr. Miller briefly outlined the benefits to be dervived from a canning factory, considering the questions from the standpoints of the nrodncers. the stockholders and the business com munity. Ho pointed out the adanta- bility of the soil and the climate here for the raising of vegetables and the advantages to be gained by the fubsti tution of intensive for extensive farm ing, the inreased productivity of the soil, the increased employment of la bor and the saving of freight on both the raw material and tho canned pro duct. Passing to this definite proposition, j Mr. Miller offered to bnild and eqnip a factory with a dailv capacity of 20, 000 cans, for $10,300, the plant not to be paid for until completed and approved and to provide at the elec tion of the local ' stockholders, an ex perienced manager to take charge of the work. The plant, according to 'Mr. Miller. could be operated from 5 to 10 months a year, by canning everythiag from the earliest spring vegetables to pum pkins and Fquasb. late in the fall re quiring the employment of from 60 to 7o men. O. W. Phililrs, W. A. Way. K. S. Tncs. Dack and Bert Galley and M. D. Karr took an'active part in the discussion. The question of probable and guaranteed profits to stockholders was raised, and the "toll" and "co-operative" systems of oner ating factories were explained by Mr. Miller. G. W. Phillips asked Mr. Miller not in a spirit of opposition bnt of inquiry why the Hastings In dustrial company did not buy some of the stock in the companies they seek to organize, as an assurance of good faith on their port. Mr. Miller's frank and reasonable answer to this question went far toward removing any donbt that may have existed pre viously in the minds of those present. as to the honestv of his proposition. He replied simply that his company was telling machinery, and not oper ating canning factories, and that manufacturers who offered to take stock in order to sell their machinery simply added the value of the stock to the price of machinery. Mr. Miller is no spread eagle orator. His methods are not those ot the hyp notist bat of a plaiu. blnnt business man, who appeals only to men's bns- (iness judgment. His methods are ouuvti iu tun irrsumunai conservatism of Columbus business men. The sentiment of those present last night was favorable. But nwimr to tho small attendance, Mr. Miller was directed to consult the executivo com mittee of the club and to act on their advice. Mr. Miller has consutled nverr member of this committee and the unanimous sentiment is: "Go nhemi. Organize a stock company if you can. You have our moral bupnort. " And Mr. Miller is coiner aheml. ami he will succeed because there are enoueb capitalists in Columbus who have faith in tho future of this city, to put up every cont of the money required. r i ON ALL WALL PAPER !
