V,' STUDENTS FEAR GAME IS DOOMED .Badgers Will Probably Drop the Game, Irrespective of the Conference Action. Journal Special Service. Madison, Wis., Feb. 5.Information ban reached the student body of the .University of Wisconsin that the faculty, at itsj meeting this afternoon, will vote for the suspension of foot ball for a period of two years and that this vote may go farther than that of Chicago by making the suspension operative in Wisconsin, Irrespective of what the other conference col leges may do. In consequence, mourning, deep and heartfelt, reigns over the Latin quarter of the university. The idol of the students. King Football, %ies at the point of death, the fate which providence and the faculty of the university have decreed anall be his. Watching the Deans. Outside the portals of the chamber where the struggle for life is going on the faithful fol lowers of the king wait with bated breath, canning every bulletin and hoping against hope that the worst has not yet come. Not one chance in ten is held out for the re covery of the patient and it is expected the faculty meeting will pronounce the final death sentence. Already signs of mourning have appeared upon the college campus and numbers of students are wearing arm bands of crepe in token of the esteem and respect in which they held the king of college sports. This is not the outgrowth of a prank concocted by some jokers in an en deavor to ridicule the faculty and lend mirth to the football situation, but it is the result of thoughtful and deliberate discussing of all phases of the subject. Would Drape Flag. A. petition has been started among the stu dents asking the faculty that the flag upon the university gymnasium be placed at half-mast during the next football season, or at least upon those days on which intercollegiate contests were scheduled. MORE TROUBLE FORG.TEBEAU One-Third of ''Frightened Three'' Hot Water at Louisville. Journal Special Service. Louisville, Ky., Feb. 5.Sunday baseball In Kentucky apparently is doomed. James Stone, clerk of the lower house of the Kentucky legis lature, said in this city last night that the Griffin bill is in favor, particularly with the rural element in the legislature and it has been favorably acted upon by the committee to which it was referred. State Senator Leban Phelps of Louisville says the bill is certain to be passed in the house. He thinks that if a stiff fight is made it may be defeated In the senate. Tebeau has enemies In Louisville and they saw I a chance to hand him a hot one. Tebeau, np to this time, has viewed the measure with indiffer ence. Without Sunday games in Louisville the local club would be in a bad way financially. GOPHERS READY TO PLAY WITH ILLINI The Illinois basketball team has received per mission to make the trip to Minneapolis and on Wednesday evening the first intercollegiate bas ketball game of the season will be played in the university armory between the Minnesota and Illinois teams. It was feared that the Illinois faculty would refuse the players permission to make the trip and there is joy in the varsity basketball camp. The game, which will begin at 8 p.m. Wednes day should be one of the best of the year and as it will give Minneapolitans their first opt portunity to judge of the work of the gopher team In competition with other big nine quin tets athletic authorities at the university will make preparations for a large audience. Tickets will be placed on sale tomorrow at Voegell's and the school education company. The Illinois team has made a remarkable showing during the preliminary season and altho the gophers will have the advantage of playing n their home floor the basket tossevs from Utrbana must be looked upon,as formidable oppo nents. In preparation for the game Coach Leach today sent his men thru a strenuous practice. WISCONSIN FACULTY: RADICAL ON FOOTBALL LEON AMES MUST NOT STRAIN ARM BOWLING Warren. Ohio. Fetrr 5.Leon Ames, pitcher for the National club of New York, has been ordered by Manager McGraw to give up bowling and has announced that he would abide by the request.

The university senate will probably meet to night and take up the recommendations of the faculty conference, and it can be set down as an assured fact that Coach YoBt will be re tained and that Michigan will play football next fall. "There was no intention to kill footballonly to bring it on a plane with other branches of college athletics," said President Angell. "The University of Michigan will never abro gate- a contract, and I don't think nine men can meet in Chicago and tell us what we must do and what we can't do," declares Regent Dean. These remarks reflect the sentiments on all sides, except from a few professors. Un doubtedly Michigan will accept any playing rules that the committee that meets in New York next week will adopt. Michigan is willing to play any team on ejua footing as regards playing rules, and anything that is agreeable to the leading, teams wil be welcomed here "Jack Pet 1.000 .800 .500 .500 .010 .000 GRIDIRON STARS AT WRESTLING MATCH.

Many visit ing clnbs are expected at that time, and a good tournament it looked for. Everything Wortk Wkile In Spoils Catkeretl rlIJ .jwftr^ McLeanl, the old Michiga. halfback of 1899, is in the city. He has been coaching the University of Missouri. "What do you think of the rules proposed by the committee in New York?" he was asked. "I don't think they will revolutionize the game much," he replied. "They have not changed the defensive style of play, and to alter the game that department must be changed as well as the offensive. But I do think that the new rules, as proposed, will put a premium- on heavy quarterbacks. Heretofore every team had a light quarterback, but you will see heavy men take that position now.' It's funny, but the pub lic agitation has been aroused by the fact that beefy men were mostly required for a good team. Now the rules committee is going to reform the game so that the only really lightweight man will be pushed aside for a heavier man." The students are in the midst of examinations, and there is but little work being done in the gymnasium by the track men. Fitzpatrick is very anxious that every candidate for the team go thru the semester without a condition In study in order that there may be no disquallfica tions, and. he has shouted. "Be sure and keep up in your studies" so much that it is firmly im pressed on all their minds. In the first try-out of the season in the track work Coach Fitapatrick gave the quarter-milers a two-lap run. The track record 0:28 3-5 for the distance. Goodwin did it in 0:29 2-5 and Steckle in 0:30. Captain Ramey ran the quar ter one-fifth of a. second faster than he did on the same occasion last year, negotiating it in 0:55 3-5. McKlnney and Waldeck were second and third, with 0:56 2-5 and 0:56 3-5 respec tively. Of the bunch of milers only four could do bet ter than 2:20, altho the track record Is 2:00 flat. Rowe ran it in 2:11 2-5, which is two and three fifths seconds better than the first try-out last year. Cathcart, Phelps, West and Benedict fol lowed Rowe in the order named. Coach McAllister will be here a week from Monday to start the baseball men in Indoor prac tice in the cage. TROUBLE AHEAD IN THE IOWA GIRGDIT Jftl onal Mason City, Iowau,r Feb. 5.The Cedar Valley racing circuit, which includes eleven or twelve cities of northern Iowa, is at present practically discontinued. Seven of the eleven cities have dropped out of the circuit as a result of the ac tion of some of the delegates at the recent an nual meeting held at Decorah. Those dropping out are Marion,' Marshalltown, Nashua, West Union, Fonda, Sac City and Mason City. Those who still remain in the circuit are Decorah, Waterloo, Waverly and Cedar Rapids. The fight in convention among the delegates was over which town should get the Fourth of July week as the date of their racing meet. Waterloo was successful In landing the prize, and as a result some of the other places "be- came disgruntled. Along with the reason that the best day of the season was taken by Water loo are several other reasons why the bolters will not remain in the circuit this year. There is a contest on also over who will be last on the list, none of the towns desiring that honor, as they fear the horses will be tired out and the racing not be up to its high standard. MARRIOTT TO O MILE IN TWENTY-FIYE FLAT Journal Special Service. New York, Feb. 5.Altho the dreams of the auto speed maniacs appeared to have been real ized when Fred Marriott, in the red Stanley steamer flashed along the Florida beach at Or n.ond and'covered a mile in 28 1-5 seconds, they now have reason for a worse delirium than ever, for a car Is now being planned with a guaran teed speed of a mile in twenty-five seconds.

Marriott will be engaged to drive the death-defying time exterminator, T)nt no doubt someone, perhaps'he, will soon make his "now marvelous performance iook as slow as the Hudson trip of the Fulton steamboat.

Iiouisvllle, Ky Feb. 5.What players does Tebeau intend to send to Kansas City this season Is a question that the LoulsvlUe fans would like to have answered. Last year Tebeau shifted Stoner and Stallivan from the blues to this city and presented Manager Irwin with the services of Wright and Howard Murphy. Every season the locals lose the, services of one or two players, who are needed to fill out gaps in the Kansas City lineup. This season Wright, Stoner, Murphy and Sulli van are all carded to play in Louisville, but it is almost a certainty that one or more of these players will be" sent to Kansas Oity before the season is many weeks old.

Carlisle, Pa., Peb. 5.Charles Dillon, the famous Indian football suard, who was taken to the hospital at the Carlisle Indian school on the morning of the day on which he was to have married Rose La Farge, a beautiful Crow Indian maiden, the beUe of the Carlisle Indian school, is rapidly Improving in health, and .expects to be out of the hospital and ready to lead the charm ing Rose to the altar about Monday, Feb. 11. "Merit will bear criticism." Pick wick Rye is a fine old whisky for those of discriminating palates. It frill your severest criticism. '$* Fans Are Vexed. This state of affairs is what causes dissatis faction among fans and to say the least does not help a player to put forth bis best efforts. Last Beason when one of the Louisville players had suffered, a severe batting slump he was kidded unmercifully by the other players. "You will get your release," they said. "Not on your life," wis the reply. "I am not that lucky. I-will get a transfer ticket to Kansas City." The very fact that the players feel that when they fall down they won't be released is what causes some of them to play .such a list less game. They realise that Tebeau needs play ers for his other team, and for that reason are assured of a position whether they keep in shape or not. If a player is not strong enough for the Louisville team he should be given his re lease outright, and allowed to sign wherever ho can do so. Same on the Saw. The same conditions exist in Kansas City, altho it must be admitted that Tebeau takes better players away fronv the" Bliies than he sends them. However this fact also works against the Louisville team, for Instead of going out and securing good men when they are needed by the colonels, Tebeau just wires to Kansas City: "Ssad so ar.d so to Louisville by the first train." INDIAN ATHLETES PLAY BASKET BALL Carlisle, Pa., Feb. 8.Tne newly organized Carlisle Indian basketball team has just an nounced its season's schedule. This year is the first which has seen a truly representative bas ketball team. Its make-up is certainly all7star. This new team, composed, as it Is, Of famous football players, is probably the most unique organization of its kind in the country, and will be able to defeat almost anything In the way of basketball that happens along. The make-up of the team at present Is as fol lows: Forwards, Chauncey Archiquette, cap tain, and a football halfback of renown Frank Mt. Pleasant, famous sprinter and broad jump er, as well as star quarterback substitute forwards, Lloyd Nephew, crack Indian baseball pitcher and football fullback Francis Fremont, football end center, Gardner, a football full back and basketball pitcher substitute center, Arthur Sheldon, late football captain and noted halfback guards, Archie Libby, star football quarterback and second baseman Wahoo,' cele brated football end, baseball catcher. and track athletic substitute guards.

RADICAL RECOMMENDATIONS bear Tale Special Committee Would Really Purify Athletics. New Haven, Conn., Feb. 5.The committee appointed by the Yale university council to frame new athletic measures*today made its report to the council. Its members refuse to announce the recommendations they have made, but it is known that they are more radical than the general Yale faculty believed they would be, because the faculty ignored the committee after it was chosen fond have, been ..going- ahead and holding mass-meetings, at which such revolu tionary measures as the abolition of gate receipts and professional coaches were discussed.

A story is going the rounds of the territory press of a farmer, living a few miles from Henryetta, who wore his old suit until everybody was tired of it, and his estimable wife was almost ashamed of him. But one day, when selling produce in town, he determined to buy a new suit, and a happy thought struck him. He would surprise Eliza. So he bundled a new suit into the wagon, hurried toward home, and at the bridge, two miles from the town, he stood up in the wagon and "peeled" and threw the despised old suit into the creek. Then he reached for his new clothes. They were gone-had jolted out of the "wagon! The night was cold and his teeth chattered as he skurried for home. He surprised Eliza even more than he anticipated. Sir Harry Johnston, speaking at a public meeting in London the other night, said he had traveled} ly in Africa for the purpose down the slave trade, and he could say from ^experience that there waa more misery and destitution in London than in any one separate part of Africa. "Would you mind walking the other way and not passing the horse?" said a London cabman with exaggerated po liteness to the fat lady who had iust paid the minimum fare. "Why?" she inquired.

AUSTRALIAN BOXER REACHES NEW YORK New York, Feb. 6.A new fighter from Ans tralla has come to town by the way of Gibraltar. His name is George O'Rourke, and he is keen for a go with some of the best lightweights on this side, especially Joe Gans, the dusky holder of two championship titles. O'Rourke Is an Australian by birth, but for the past few years has been in North Africa, Europe and England. He has met and defeated practically all. of the good men in his class in his native country, and has also been very suc cessful on the continent. He arrived on the North German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. O'Rourke was brought to this country by Frank Dwyer, who saVhim fight in Gibral tar a few weeks ago and promptly annexed him. "This boy," said Dwyer, "is 23 years old, and is one of the best fighters at 133 pounds I ever saw. I met him at Gibraltar, where I found him giving the physical culture exhibi tions and fighting. He put a big fellow named Cayman, who bad about ten pounds on him, out In the second round. I saw at once that he" had championship material. I wrote Tom O'Rourke about him, and we are going to match him with one of the top-notchers in the new Tuxedo club, just outside of Philadelphia. "From wnat I hear, neither Battling Nelson or Jimmy Brltt don't want, to fight Joe Gans, and if the colored man can make 188 pounds, I'd like to put O'Rourke in the ring with him." The new fighter is a quiet. young fellow and seems to have a little' more than the average ringside intelligence. In build he is very much like Kid Lavigue, having very broad shoulders, fine chest and a body that tapers sharply to his hips. According to Dwyer he fights very much like Lavigue, being a ring general of ability and able to take an awful amount of gruelling. "He bores in all the time and never lets up on his man," said DwyeV.

''3HWi Journal Speeial Service. Chicago, Feb. 5.Altho the Coliseum and First regiment armory were closed to the public yesterday, the two build ings presented a busy scene while the exhibitors and their assistants rear ranged their exhibits and moved in be lated cars that were held up en route by the railroads. It was also showman show day, the busy men in the various booths taking time enough to inspect the exhibits or their rivals. The review resulted in much good-natured banter as to who had the best cars on exhibition, and there was a general -air of Don homie thruout the two buildings. Gophers at Show. Throngs crowded the big hall again today and the northwestern contingent was much in evidence. There were a great many visitors-from Minneapolis arriving on morning trains and the flour city agents were doing all in their 5ng owe to -assist their townsmen in see the show. Every Minneapolis agency is represented on the floor and it is expected that there will be heavy selling for the northwest before the show closes. The automobile, judging from the ex hibits, has gone far beyond the fad stage. This is best evidenced bv the great attention paid to the vehicle for commercial use. There are samples of every conceivable form of trucks and delivery wagons. Then comes the touring cars and runabouts in endless variety and the smaller section re served to" the racing machine. In every department simplicity ap pears to be the keynote.'. Manufactur ers appear to be vying with each other in the elimination of superfluous fit tings and trappings for the machine. There is an evident move to so simplify the mechanism of the machines that tyros will never have road troubles be yond their ability to repair. The model machines of today are in marked con trast with the ponderous, unwieldy, intricate machines of a few years ago. American manufacturers are leading in this move and going far in advance of their European rivals in simplifying the running of the automobile. Littte Experimenting. There is less of the experimental on view this year than ever before. Freaks are almost entirely absent and such as are on view are looked at with more of amusement than admiration or buying intention. Lessened weight is also a feature or the general run of the new machines. Where weight is increased it appears to be on account of augmented horsepower. There are no more great big maohines with small power. The American mak ers this year are adopting one feature of auto building which will please American buyers. In past years it was by no means uncommon for makers to promise a horsepower which the en gines could never deliver. The foreign makers adopted an opposed policy. They rated their engines at a less horse power than they would develop. This proved a pleasing surprise to buyers and the American manufacturers are now taking up with the idea. It is' not un common for the engines of 1906 cars to develop from five to eight, and even at times ten-horsepower, more than the manufacturer had announced for the car. Simplicity Is Desired. There are few startling innovations.' The automobile has passed the experi mental stage. The trend is now in the direction of simplicity, an even deliv ery of power, lessened weight, tire im provement and comfort for the motor ists. Buying is general thruout the show and the makers are pleased with the results. JFrom the interest taken by the north western visitors, it would, appear that some of the finest American cars are to be seen in Minneapolis and nearby cities this year, and if show prospects continue, Minneapolis dealers will have hard work to supply the demand for cars. Show sentiment is beginning to make it appear that this year's records of sales will eclipse anything estab lished in the past.

That a moral sense may exist in ani mals we think no one who has ever kept dogs will deny. It is" not easy to com pare it, however, with the moral sense as it exists in men. If we set a dog's conscience beside man's, the first thing we shall notice is that the former is 'upside down. To avoid violence and deceit, and to distinguish between his own property and someone else's are the ideas which form the foundation of the moral character of an average civilized man. Standing on this foun dation we find in greater or less degree the higher virtuesSympathy, loyalty, self-sacrifice, resignation all these things in short, which, may be roughly summed up in the word self-devo- tion." Now all these fine qualities form the basis of the moral character of a good and civilized dog. Upon this basis some of the plainer virtues may "iut unless supported upper pa be superimposed but unless supported by discipline, the upper edifice is never very steady* of the stract sense of right and wrong -but they have, in addition to a highi de gree of intelligence, which teaches them FLOCK TO SLOCUM TRIAL New York Herald. Small boys are attending the Slocum trial with an interest not due to rela tionship with any victim, but because of a five-foot model of the General Slocum carried into the courtroom Saturday by "Tom" Garrity, chief office bov of former Judge Dittenhoffer, counsel of the accused Captain Schaik. Not a boat, raft, spar, rope, railing or stanchion carried by the burned steamship but is in its place on the $360 model. When the model was de livered to Mr. Dittenhoffer's office a client, with his three young sons, was present. "And what will you do withthe boafc when you are thru with it, sir?" one lad finally found courage to ask. I expect to give it to some good boy who stands high in school," re sponded the lawyer. That was sufficient. The next Sat urday the three lads, accompanied by four'others* called and asked to see the beat, and Saturday after Saturday the boys have come in droves. As Garrity carried the boat down Broadway to th Federal building Saturday morning he was followed by an admiring procession of more than a hundred small boys. The moment court adjourned for lunch eon, the crowd of little chap& surrbund ed the model and were happy. Law Allows Four Marital' Partners^ but Makes It Very Difficult to Attain This Great HeightLife of the. Harem Not DullSlaves Much Sought in Marriage to Avoid Moth ers-in-Law. New York Tribune. _ J.I_ .t, JT a ir and female dependents. No Turk ever lets The truth is that dogs have no ab The ordinary idea of a harem probably accords little with the picture of life behind the caresses^ or screens covering the windows ot the seraglio presented by Mrs. L.. Parks-Richards- in a lecture at the Waldorf-Astoria Wednesday morn ing. In the first place, Mrs. Richards* stated that there was as a rule only one wife in the harem. "Polygamy Is practically non-exlstentr among the Turks," said Mrs. Richards." "The law allows, a man four wives, but makes it so difficult for him to take a, second one by requiring him to provide for her exactly as he did for the first that it is seldom done. Besides, among *z the upper classes polygamy Is not con sidered good form. I heard of half a dozen i Turks Who had two wives while" I was in Constantinople, and of one who had four, but these are rare exceptions. "The crowd of women found In a Tur k ish harem is made up of servants, slaves a Wl ove hi head an number an to avoid pain by virtuous practice, a faculty analogous to the religiousi facul ty in man. They worship the higher race, apart from whose influence they have no conscience at all. Their minds in contact with the mind of man dis play at times an astonishing amount of moral perception. Take the fact that the average dog understands the nature of an accident. He makes allowance for motive. We have seen a sharp-tempered terrier very suspicious of strangers receive a severe blow accidentally inflicted by some one he did not know, without showing any temper, and accept the careless person apologies with the utmost graciousness. Had he suspected wanton cruelty, he would- undoubtedly have resented it: and in the case of any iniury inflicted by another- dog, *he would not have considered the motive, but would have had instant recourse to violence to ease his feelings. Nevertheless, all dogs will steal unless they fear punishment, {found, or at least a show of displeasure. We have never heard of a dog who avoided stealing from other animals. They love to fight and feel not the slightest remorse when they see their adversary lying dead before them. They take pleasure in killing* any small, helpless thin" below them in animal rank. Yet toward the children of the higher race their forbearance is endless. After any succesful piece of deceittraveling in railway trains when forbidden to go on a journey, or creeping behind hedges that they may accompany their mas ters upon a forbidden walkthey show signs of extraordinary contentment and pleasure. On the other hand, a really clever and devoted dog will strain every mental faculty that he may enter into the mood of his master, and be able to show him sympathy and resign himself to his master's will, and, when his mas ter's actions are dictated by temper or caprice, will forgive him till seventy times seven. On the whole, dogs are, of course, highly courageous animals but indi viduals among them have timid ldio syncracies, which alone they seem un able to control yet anxiety for the safety of a master or mistress will sup ply them with moral force to keep down physical fear. The present winter can vouch for the fact that a dog who aU his life has exhibited an extreme and ridiculous terror for cattle, refusing to go thru a field in which he could, see a few cows, and insisting on making long detours to avoid going near them, one day saw from a distance that his mistress was being chased by a cow, who finally knocked her down, lie rushed to her aid, and by the time some laborers could get to the field the ani mal was not only driven off, but severe ly torn and injured. That dogs prefer to meet death with their masters rather than to save their lives alone is a fact too well known to need insisting On ABSOLUTE SECURITY Genuine CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS must bear': Fac-simile Signatiirejf /^L^P^^ Abtoiuteiy Cure] BILIOUSNESS. ^SICK HEADACHE.

The relation of the Inmates of the. harem to one another Mrs. Richards found very beautiful. Children were greaC pets, she said, and servants and slave^ were treated with great consideration.. Slaves are often treated like members of the family, may marry a son of the? house, and are much sought in marrlagel by men for the purpose of avoiding com plications with mothers-in-law. "The sultan's harem," said Mrs. Rich ardson, "i composed entirely of slaves, as the law forbids members of the Im perial family from marrying into th great houses of the realm, lest the latter be made too powerful." The Turkish woman. Mrs." Richardson, found Is quite satisfied with he lot while th at of the Kuropean woman ia regarded with horror by the most en lightened Turks. "It is true." said a Turkish official of high ra nk and much culture, "th at we marry our daughters to men whom they never see until their wedding day, but we do not have the awful European spectacle of angling for men.
