Saturday night the cjuple applied to Burgess Brown and he accordingly gave them permission to j sleep in the borough bastile. The man claims to have had his back broken about three yearn ago in the mines at Cayl jr. by a fall of rock, and brttpvno he i.s one of the few men living with a broken back. After the accident he was confined to a hospital for over a year and during that time he had a piece of his back bone removed, four inches in length, and an artificial piece substituted. He is helpless from his hips, down, and preambulates by means of a pair of canes. After he was able to leave the hospital they managed to make a living by doing odds and ends until last winter, when a fire destroyed all their worldly goods. Since that time they have been going piecemeal towards St. Mary's. Yesterday they walked to Adrian and from brother miners the man collected enough money to complete the last stage of the journey. UPSET III THE MI J. E.

At the rate the 'seats are being gobbled up it is evident that Punxsutawney theatergoers are "next" to what Is coming I To those who may not yet have become interested it may be said that "The College Widow" is fr »m the pen of George Ade, America's most dis- | tinguished comedy satirist. It is produced under the direction of Mr Savage, thus giving a double guarantee that Punx'y :hcatergoers arc to have the privilege of seeing the rn >st laughable play on the road by the best company on the road, and staged the best of any comedy company on the road. Anrl that is n.>t all. "The College Widow" commands $2 per seat In all of the large and moVt of the small cities, but the highest price for the Jefferson Theater will be a comparatively few seats at $1.50.

Nov. 11.—William Arthur Newman, alias Robert Lewi*, alias Charles Miller, who was arrested here in September at the request of the Virginia authorities, who are seeking1 his extradition on the charge of grand larceny and felonious assault, has been remanded from week to week pending the arrival of papers from the United States. A detective arrived here from Virginia last week and appeared in th<- Bow Street police court Friday and presented the request of the State Department for Lewis' extradition. The case was further remanded until November 12 in order to give the judge time to go over the papers. These, the clerk of the court said, did not quite fulfill the requirements, as Lewis has declared his willingness to re-turn to America. It is expected. however, that the extrditlon will be ordered on the 12th. Uunder the English law Lewis must remain here for a fortnight after the order is singned in order to give him time to apply for a writ of habeas corups should be desire to do so. ed and Defendant (Jets Off With $10,000.

NEFF PASSES AWAY Earring Captain Harrington's ability to skirt the right end for gains, the Punxsutawney High School football team and the DuBois High School eleven would have come off about even in their gridiron contest at East End Park Saturday afternoon. That veteran pigskin chaser" had speed to burn. *»i'i whenever the visitors got the oval on or near their fifteen-yard line, it meant trouble. Even with his *•«■»*-» v»'e his sprints would have been Ineffectual, but for the excellent Interfrence put up by his teammates. Harrington made both of the visitors' touehdo. ns around Punx'y's right end. for ihe sole reason that he was able to g the start of that department by about ten feet. This advantage was needed in order for the visitors to m ike thlr gains, for Punx'y's warriors be- hind the line never failed to floor him as soon as '• was possible, with his lead, to do so. In all other departments of the game it was about a stand-off as one ever witnessed l%\vctn two teams. Both elevens were strong on the line and about equally erroneous at kicking and attempting passes. The local team outfumbled their adversaries. however, the visitors were generally unable to turn the situations thus created to an advantage. Punx'y won the toss and chose the north field. Boblnson kicked to the thirty-live yard lino and the ball was carried back ten yards. Failing to make their gains DuBols kicked. Punx'y returning the ball for a gain of ten yards. The locals being unable to make the necessary gains and with the pigskin about the middle of their field, tried a kick which, Instead of going toward the goal of the oppo- ' sit ion. landed almost outside the west j side line without having gained an Inch and with a DuBots player on the spot. Before the Punx'y's could capture the runner the Clearfield sprinter was on Punx'y's five-yard-line. One end sprint and two line bucks landed the oval over the line. Just ten minutes after play had begun. Maufte kicked a pretty g >al. During the rest of the first half I Punx'y outplayed her rivals In every department, exct;«tnig for fumbles. The two trains had the ball all over the lot and DuBols kicked it over bounds twice. DuBois kicked off In the sec >nd half, the ball g.dng out of bounds. On the se.'ond t**y J. ltobinson sot fteen yeurds on a fluke the ball and in the prettiest piece of dodging and sprinting seen during fliy game, carried the oall right through h»s adversaries for a gain of ihlry yards. The advantage thus gained was sooc. lost by i'unx'y being fined forward pass. Harrington and Maufte tool turns at running the end.-, and although the latter ;ua.le no great gains Cnpt. Harrington tj.ned the trick for a second touch do»vn, Maufte tail'd to kick roil.

The town i was no more, a city was there indeed. Other towns did not have paved streets like that. Their streets were like Broadway had been—knee deep in mud or dust. Then A. H. Classen rose to the full height of his faith and organized a street railway company with a capital of $100,000. The career of the ci'ty had begun. What is there to tell of all this today? Oklahoma his thirty miles of asphalt paved streets, more than any other city of its population in the world. It has nearly 300 miles of sidewalks, half of them of cement. The street railway goes into its fifth year with thirty-six miles of track, exclusive of an inter urban road which it owns. Its capital has been increased, first from $100,000 to $1,000,000 and 'then to I$3,(x00,000. It could not buy cars fast enough, so it put up shops and now builds its own cars right in Oklahoma City.
