PEOPLE ARE GETTING ANXIOUS Season is Here and Still No Practice We're Lost Without the Big Fellows. One who has never lived in Lacannot correctly estimate the hold that Rugby foot-ball has on the people of the town. This is undoubtedly due to the prestige which has been won on dozens of (hard fought fields by the formidable aggregation which hails from here. It is also a fact, which admits of no caviling, that the team is one of the greatest that has eyer played in the United Staves. When one casts his eye on the roster of the team it falls upon the name of James O.

Rodgers, who was captain of the Yale team of 194, a team that played all the big college teams in the country without ever being scored against. Then here comes De Saulles, a member of the same team, who is conceded to be the greatest quarter back that the game ever saw. Following such hevoic figures comes Johnson, of Trinity college, New York, who was a national figure for two seasons. Then there is Ralston, of Chicago university, whose name was mentioned in his graduating year as a prominent candidate for the All-American. Team--the eleven which never plays a game but is selected by the experts at the end of the season as a combination that would beat any team in the country.

After these come our local boys, and among them is material which the veteran and expert players named above say they have never seen excelled and very seldom equalled. There are Cruse and McDonald, Green McCarty, Street and Peek. Hyner and Wilson, and the elusive Hez Vard. Out of this material, promising to begin with, the peerless Rodgers forgela thunderbolt, which, when launched against opposing teams, simply annihilated opposition. For two years not a score has been made against the team.

Think of that, will you, when the roll of teams is called against which games have been played. For example there are the Haskell Indians, who beat the Carlisle (Pa) Indians, who held the champion Yale team of '02 to a score of 6. That team couldn't swim where LaHarpe waded without dampening its feet. The Lindsborg Swedes never tasted the bitterness of defeat until their line was overthrown and their defense shattered by the men of LaHarpe. And these are the histories of the other dozen or more games in which the opposing teams, the strongest in the state, have been over borne and driven in despair from the field.

Whether or not this invincible aggregation, whose blue has tossed in triumph on so many fields, will be back again this year is what the people want to know. A Cabbage Snake." E. H. Tanqueray was in the office of THE REVIEW last Tuesday evening with a pecuitar looking reptile in a four-ounce bottle of water. The snake, worm, or whatever it may be called, is about twenty-four inches long, and is no bigger around than a horse hair.

It is pure white, and retains its vivacity in its prison. It was found in the center of a head of cabbage which Mrs. Tanqueray was going to cook for supper. After finding this "critter the family decided that they did not wish any cabbage. This "cabbage snake" scare has been thoroughly exploited for some time, especially by the Kentucky and see papers, relate numerous instances in which these reptiles have which caused death in families in several localities in those states.

Cooking seems to have no effect on the virulence of the poison of the things and hogs, to which the cabbage was fed, after the presence of the snakes had been determined, died almost instantly. It would be a good idea for every housewife to make a searching inspection of all cabbage before preparing it for the table. The phenomenon is one wnich has never appeared before, but the many well authenticated cases of fatal poisonings mentioned above, should be a warning to all. The snake 11 alluded to is on exhibition in Waters' drug store. BROKE ALL RECORDS Crowd Largest That Ever Entered Grounds in One Day.

ATTENDANCE FROM 6500 TO 7000 Very Flattering to the Members of the Society One Slight Accident. A crowd that broke all the records for numbers was out to see the Allen County Fair yesterday. It had from 6500 to 7000 people, which represents about 20 percent of the population of Allen County. This is only another indication of the appreciation of the work of the society which conducts the Fair. Their efforts to make a successful show have been repaid by the attendance of more people than have ever passed the turnstiles on the Iola grounds.

During the pacing race one of the flyers collided with a phaeton, wrecking a wheel on the vehicle, and throwing the driver of the sulky under the wheels. He was not seriously injured, but considerable excitement was occasioned by the mishap. Today is the last day, and will likely exceed the same day of other Fairs. Love Thy Neighbor," Etc. Brothers Reynolds and Decker are having some fun with each other and the goods they are passing to each other over the bargain counter read like this: A good sized boy, steady, sober and kind, to act as nurse during the remainder of August and all of September for Carl Reynolds, editor of the Savonburg Record.

Carl is laboring under the delusion that a telephone octopus is after him, and his friends are solicitous about his condition and feel that he is in need of close attention and good care during the remainder of the hot season. Apply at the drug store, Savonburg, for further particulars. Good wages will be paid to right Elsmore Enterprise. When the harvest days are over, Jesse dear" -the telephone harvesttickle yourself under the chin again, and paste this in your hat now for ready reference: Your belly-aching Bell telephone project succeeded admirably in this section of educated Allen county. Yes, indeed.

It roped in five victims, while the Mutual Telephone Company was organized with a membership of ninety-five farmers and business men. Three of your five victims saw their error and associated themselves with the Mutual Company. Your position is an atmosphere of deception. Bring on your nurse." Perhaps some day we can reciprocate by sending you a telephone Savonburg Record. Fell From a Horse.

Wednesday morning as Walter Peterson and Earl Jackson, two boys, aged respectively 13 and 8 were riding along Locust Street in front of Howard Co's store, the horse on which they were mounted slightly stumbled. The Jackson boy lost his balance and fell off. dragging Walter with him. The latter alighted on his feet, but Earl struck the ground on his head and shoulder. The heavy fall stunned him, and Dr.

McGill was summoned. The little fellow was laid on a bench and kindly hands bathed his head until he recovered consciousness, after which Dr: McGill accompanied him home in a buggy. No cuts or contusions appeared, and all the damage done proceeded from the concussion. Marriage Notice. Mr.

Clayton Kennedy, of Hiattville, and Miss Louise Frantz, of LaHarpe, were married at the residence of Mr. Marsh in this city, Tuesday evening September 6, at 8 o'clock. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Edward Wright, of Jefferson, Iowa. Those present were Mr.

and Mrs. Woolington, Mr. and Mrs. Vhelow and family, Mesdames Plew. Vhelow, Evans and Frerking Misses Bessie and Cora Kennedy, Minnie Piew and Pearl and Grace Marsh, Messrs.

Lincoln, of Hiattville, Maxey and Vickers. Griffitts and Samples. Night Chief Cannon returned last night from Yates Center, where he went to return Ed Griffitts to jail. He had been taken the day previously to Parsons to the trial of "Fair grounds Charley Sample, his accomplice in the horse stealing scrape. Samples plead guilty and in default of $500 bond was remanded to the Parsons jail.

It is said that the sexton of the cemetery was one of George Ferguson's best workers when he ran against It All. Myler for mayor. Why is it that our Congressman-at-Harpe large has not procured a new postoffice for Iola? Does the government expect it to be built by private subscription Gene Willoughby, the barber, ought to join the base ball team. That catch he made of Seyler's runaway team on North Jefferson avenue should put him at the head. Mr.

Wood is going to have the old courthouse painted on the outside, wide concrete pavements laid, trim the trees and get the council to put up an are light at the corner. Crouch's street car line, west of the Santa Fe track, looks like a bird's nest. Obsolete, in a state of innocuous desuetude, to revive those famous words of Grover Cleveland's. Those little boys who haul tree tops to the public square with a pair of burros excite much comment for their nerve and grit. Their energy ought to make those big loafers on the corners blush for shame.

The city council had better pay Officer Burns' salary, for the laborer is worthy of his hire. The city is legally bound to pay him, and so will the courts decide if it those trigoest bunals for adjudication. The wife of a prominent citizen was heard to say to a gentleman at the band concert the other evening that "free love is the best love of all, I think, don't you Her husband was out of the city on business. The buggy horse of Mangan Brothers kicked himself out of the harness at the court house Saturday morning and an Irisman standing close by felt for his chaw of tobacco thinking the heels of the horse might have knocked it out. Some worthy philanthropist, man or woman, can transmit his or her name to posterity in an honorable way by organizing a club for civic improvement in Iola.

Such an organization would do more good than a dead commercial club. D. H. Scott, 419 South Jefferson avenue, leaves next week for Idaho, where his daughter, Miss May Scott, his son, William H. Scott and the other two daughters live.

He says that they own lands, a store, and are making money. Miss May took up a claim a short time ago, which only cost a small fee and sold her filing for $2,000 cash. She is the state superintendent of public instruction. Fred Stewart, a colored man. was arrested Monday on a warrant sworn out by his step daughter.

She says he beat her terribly, and she fled from him in her night clothes to the Missouri Pacific depot where the officers found her. The court should make his fine and punishment such that it would prevent the White Caps from dealing with him It is thought they may take up the case any way. He has a bad mouth, and a worse reputation Willie Trine, who washes out the basins at the waterworks every other day, has a pair of educated bull frogs that he calls Tommy Leap and Mary Jump. They understand what he says just like a dog understands his matser. He helps them to catch the bugs and insects that would be very to the health of the water.

They will climb the planks and dive off into the water for him just like those educated ponies at the fair grounds which every body wonders at. It must cut the Democrats of Allen county to the quick when they realize that their morning paper was only a pipe dream, and that the Iola Weekly Democrat, a four column paper, thirteen by eight inches in size, and only! four pages, is a sad reality. The 000 stock company was a nice starter for them, but the leaders thought it an expensive luxury. The rise and fall of that enterprise is, however, in keeping with the history of the party -fine on dress parade but not worth a cent for general action. It took is them just four years to put the whole country on the bum and establish soup houses from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast.

We think the record here in Iola is very good in a comparative sense. Fortune and the weather factory have favored the Allen County Agricultural Society in its annual exhibition for 1904. The gentlemen who compose the society have gone to unlimited pains to make this an unprecedentedly good session, and they have suc ceeded most completely. We are not conversant with the number that have attended the Fair in past years, but are willing to take the word of one citizen who remarked that the attendance, in his estimation was so far, a record breaker. The agricultural and horticultural displays are away beyond those of previous years, besides many exhibits of various kinds never before shown.

The educated ponies come in for a great share of attention as they are put through their various preformances, and a huge crowd always gathers to witness the chariot race in which sixteen of these minute steeds take part. El Reno the high diving pony, has shown an almost human comprehension in his part in tne pony show. As is generally the case the running races have uniformly drawn the largest crowds, about every body on the grounds getting into the grand stand or near the finishing line when the bell taps for the start. Two rattling good base ball games the first two days also proved a great drawing card. The management has our compliments cu its successful work in producing a superior exhibitior and we hope that their next session will surpass this as much as this exceeds its predecessors.

About Advertising. The janitor at the REVIEW office, who knows more than several ordinary people hands this in; Advertising is as much a part of the cost of making or selling goods as is the cost of the paint, counters or showcases or anything else connected with your business. Don't try to be too funny in your advertising. The publisher pays a man to do that and doesn't expect you to contribute your services free. The people want prices I have always found myself buying from the advertiser who told the truth and used the fewest possible words to tell it.

Sometimes it takes a page, sometimes ten lines. It is his eternal telling it that brings the money his way. Winter Lecture Course. LaHarpe will be treated this winter to a course of lectures and musical entertainments furnished by the Midland Lyceum Bureau, of Des Moines, la. The series will be under the Auspices of the Epworth League.

Heretofore the course has been handled by the public schools of LaHarpe. As the financial results were not satisfactory, the school did not consider itself bound to retain the connection this year. Prof. Lieurance then took the matter in charge, but as he has removed, the question came up again This time Rev. W.

L. French, to whom Prof. Lieurance wrote concerning the course, brought the business before the Epworth League. Satisfactory conclusions were reached, and the net receipts of the course will be applied to the building fund of the M. E.

church. J' W. Laury Plays Ball. One of the features of the base ball game played at the Fair Grounds Wednesday between Iola and Joplin, was the graceful handling and accurate throwing of Col. John Laury, who pigtailed for both He was encouraged in his good work by Judge Foust, M.

W. Sickly, the next county Treasmissioner, and John Goshorn, who oecupied front seats. Mr. Laury however, was not puffed up over his gocd work, merely saying that he was having a good day. Ice Cream Social, A well attended ice cream social was given at the tabernacle Tuesday night.

A mysterious menu was prepared which greatly excited the curiosity of those present, and afforded the wise much amusement. The financial outcome was satisfactory, though we did not learn the amount..
