Chicago Novelty Cloak and Suit sented by Mr Ethier will be here with the most select line of Ladies and Children's cloaks ever displayed We will be pleased to have you come in and look at them as we know he can please you If you want a suit come and let him take your measure fit guaranteed Remember one day only Monday October 3rd Rapids Wisconsin but we understand the game was given to Merrill by a score of 6 to 5 The home team clearly played the better foot and would have won the game no matter how the dispute had been adjusted but it would have looked a little better for all parties to have sub- mitted quietly to the decision of the In future games special police should be appointed and everybody kept off the grounds or rather outside the ropes un- less they are connected in some way with the game The game as far as played was about as Mer rill kicked off to Grand Rapids who secured the ball within a few yards of Grand Rapids goal then by straight football without any fancy or trick plays carried the ball steadily down the line in snappy style for a touch down accidents that occasionally occur when children get hold of and play with arms The facts are about as Early Friday morning when Mrs selected for the position for his Steve was busy doing and experience in this class of work morning's work her little four-year-old Assisted by two young men he undertook morning that would have cost the life of nine out of every ten men He had charge of the work about the darr but did not kick goal score 5 points At the of the next play Merrill got the ball on a fumble and advanced several losing the ball just as time was called for the first half In the second half Grand Rapids kicked off to Merrill who got the ball near Merrill's goal By good hard woik around the ends and a few brilliant plays and long runs by the man in the striped Merrill advanced the ball to within about 15 yards of Grand goal when they were held by the Grand Rapids boys Merrill made a try fo goal from the field which they missed but in the scrimmage which followed a claim for a touch down was asked bi Merrill and allowed by the referee after a long spell of waiting Grand Rapids refused to continue the game and the feree gave the game to Merrill by a score of 6 to 9 We believe the decision was wrong and do not blame the boys for refusing to go on with the game but have no sympathy with the disturbers who triec to create a big row over the decision This can he avoided in the future by having special police appointed to keep the crowds where tkey belong and pre- serve order Why Women Sin One of the greatest sensational dramas ever produced will be found to be M- W Taylor's fine production of Will C York society drama WHY WOMEN SIN Which comes to the Ground Opera House Night October 1st The company is an unusually large one for a production of this kind numbering seventeen people and the mounting of the play will be One of the big scenes is a duel in the dark at a cafe on the Riverside Drive New York City between two men who fire at each other by the glow from a cigar each is smoking The main theme of Mr Murphy's plot concerns the efforts of a man of the fashionable society world to win from the home a woman of society and the wife of a friend The de- velopment ol the play shows just how far a naturally good woman will go on the ward path a id pleasing is the introduction of a little child's character the six year old ter of the tempted mother The play will be found to be pure in tone and clean in utterance Among the great scenes may be mentioned the Millionaires Club on Ladies night the struggle on the stairs the thwarted kidnapping a duel in the dark the great gambling house and the superb climax in front of Holy Trinity Church on a stormy winter night In the company are such artists as BERNICE HOWARD GRACIA DE FOY F WHITP FRED ALYN NOME REYNOLDS WILL H FIELDS P F PARKS W H MAC PHERSON and LITTLE MARGIE Grand Opera House Saturday Oct
