Carleton finished at tbe head of the inter collegiate league, with St. Thomas so close a ecoud as to all but pull ahead, the college league was not nt The race in any time in the season except when St Thoma i jpmalv.ek lost to Carleton. The outcome of the other games was almost a foregone conclusion, with the exception of the game in which Maealester climbed to third place on the shoulders of Hamline. The teams in^the league stand -a* follows: r.., Carleton.-. first St Thomas second Shattuc third: Macalester. fourth, and Hamline. fifth Carleton won. from all Ave of its opponents. St Thomas lost only to Carleton. Shattuck was de fealed bv the champions, and so badly used up that it war forced to cancel its game vi-ith^St. Thomas. Macalester lost to Carleton and Shat thek and canceled its game with St. Thomas. The championship team Is a fairly heavy and well-trained aggregation, and Is fortunate In having one or two exceptionally good men. It only' close call was in the St. Ttibmas game, where it came within an ace of being retired from the race. Only the quickness and presence r mind of I'ap.t.iin Lee, who broke away for run on a fumble In the last five minutes of play, saved the Congregationalists from defeat. The game had been close, but the advantage had been entirely with the saints, who kept the ball pretty constantly in the visitors' terri tory, tho miablo to score until the very last of the second half. S*. Thomas Strongest. gt. Thomas, tho holding the second place in the league, had the strongest team. The only Hard for Macalester. Macalester had a very trying season, and be tween the strength of its opponents and the persistent opposition of President James Wal lace, did well to win one game.'- Its record for tho season is: Oct. 14.

There Is a controversy oe the rules of the La Crosse county insane asylmn between the county board of supervisors and tbe trustees of the asj-lnm. For some time it has been .the rule at the institution not to admit visitors on Sundays. One of the county supervisors and a party of friends called at the asylum on a Sun day and asked admittance. They were refused by the superintendent. At a recent meeting of the county board a resolution was adopted providing that, visitors be admitted at any time ou all days of the week. The bpnrd of trustees of the asylum adopted new rules providing that visitors. be admitted only, on three days, of the week and never on Sundays. The trustees claim the county board has no jurisdiction over the asylum, but that the institution is conducted .under the state board of control. Escapes from Asylum. Frank Koehler. aged 20 years, who was re cently committed to the county Insane asylum at West Salem from this city, has escaped from that institution, and It is the opinion of the members of his family that he perished in the terrible storm that was raging the. uight of hts escape. The river near West Salem, Is le dragged for the body. He had been a woou carver in the employ of a local firm,..and it is said he became insane over religion and re ligious statues. \The old frame building which has stood for more thun half a century on the corner of Front and Main streets was destroyed by fire. This was the first building to be erected in La Crosse for bank purposes by Wilson Col well, who conducted a bank there before the war.

The will of the late Peter Schlntgen has been admitted to probate. An estate of $25,000 is left to his four daughters, who for some time will receive only the income. F. II.
