OO lo.OO. FIMS EXHIBITION OF FOOTBALL FOB CLOSING GAME OF SEASO. Unexpected But Just in Time. No obs, but reliable Merchandise, such as we as reliable Clothiers are in habit of selling. The part that is interesting to the close is this, That We have bought nearly one hundred and fifty 150 Men's Winter Suits of a well known hause, which we bought at our own Offer, a price so low that we can retail them at the manufacturers cost aud still make a living proft, and this is all we ask.

Nothing but this season's pattern in worsteds scotch cheviots and all wool cassimeres are found in this line. We have devided this assortment in 2 LOTS MEN'S SUITS: Lot Men's Suits Lot 3, Men's Suits and by the crushing tackles back play and the suburb, Interference of the Oshkosh team, Manitowoc fell easy prey to the rapid work of the locals. Manitowoc had set too fast a pace In the first half for her own good and she wna thoroughly worn out at the beginning of the second half while Oshkosh was fairly commencing to play. Barber and McCorlson made the touchdowns In the second half and Barber kicked goal in each instance, the final score being 18 to 0. Every man in the Oshkosh team played a fine game, the work of Keefe, Barber and Fletcher standing out prominently In the double pass.

In the second half Barnes, Manitowoc's fullback sustained an injury to his back and was replaced by Halver-soiu Manitowoc only had the ball twice in the second half, but In the first half when her gains were In evidence she worked end plays, close formation, with Wlllet, 6malley, Barnes and Stefvater, as chief ground gainers. BETTER TEAM WON. Coach R. Davis of ant to woo at the conclusion of the game admitted fair treatment and that the beet team won. He wea of the opinion, however, that Oshkosh's weight rather than skin was largely responsible for Manitowoc's defeat He opined that on a dry field the contest would have been a very close one.

He said that Manitowoc expected defeat at the hands of the Oshkosh team and that the result of the game was no surprise. He said that the Manitowoc players averaged only about 140 pounds while Oshkosh went 154. With excess of weight and the muddy and Icy field Oshkosh of course had a certain advantage. But It Is also a fact that Oshkosh completely Btnothered Mantowoc by her open play of the double pass In the second half and every admirer of the Oshkosh team Is willing to swear that with a dry field, the Bcore would have been sllll more to the disadvantage of Mantowoc. With the exception of four men out of the line, Manitowoc has the same team next year.

Tho first wedding occurred at about one o'clock at the parsonage when Mr. David Putnam, an old soldier of Omro, and Mrs. Cynthia Evans were united. This wedding was unique in some particulars for the reason that the bride and groom were both considerably past middle age, -but appeared to-be very happy In each other's presence.

The pastor felt confident that they were of age and did not need the consent of parents, so he felt a littje abashed about Inquiring their exact years.

Oshkosh Highs closed the football season in an excellent exhibition of football. Thanksgiving day at Combi nation park, and several hundred peo pie witnessed the Manitowoc Highs go down to defeat by a score of 18 to 0 by the superior all around playing of the locals. For the Oshkosh team It can be stated that It put up one of the best contests seen here his year and the team without doubt has been growing stronger aa the season advanced and the eleven of today stands as one of the very strongest in the state. Oshkosh earned every one of the eighteen points made by the best kind of football and failure to run the score to 24 and probably 30 points, was not due to Manitowoc's playtng but on account of fumbles at critical stages when Oshkosh was rushing the ball toward Manitowoc's goal. Oshkosh gave a great exhibition of defensive work In the first half when the ball was In her territory all the time with the exception of five minutes at the close.

It was during this half that the light weight Manitowoc boys nearly carried Oshkosh oft Its feet by rapid and snappy playing. Manitowoc got the ball to Oshkosh's 15-yard lines near the close of the first half and Quarterback Jones dropped back for one of his drop kicks. The kick was accurate as far as going between the goal posts but the pigskin went under instead of over the tape stretched between the posts. Manitowoc players believed they had accomplished the first scoring of the game and they rushed up the field to await Oshkosh's kick off from the middle of the field. They were soon undeceived, however, by the offlcals and they retraced their steps.

The play simply resulted In a touchback for Oshkosh wth no score, and Oshkosh brought the ball out and kicked off from herher 28-yard line. This was the nearest Manttowoe ever approached to Oshkosh's goal In the contest The close call seemed to arouse the Oshkosh players and the last few minutes of play In the first half witnessed a wonderful transformation In the 6tyle of play. Holding Manitowoc for downs, Oshkosh took the ball at her own 20-yard line and by trick and tackles back plays carried the oval with spectacular runs of ten, twenty and thirty yards across Manitowoc's goal line, Fletcher scoring the touch-flown. Barber kicked goal. Score, Oshkosh Manitowoc 0.

It -a: Just before Oshkosh commenced her great offensive work that Manitowoc sprung her only trick plays on Oshkosh and both came near re sulting disastrously to Oshkosh. Manitowoc heeled for a fair catch at the 65-yard line and made a rolling punt of five yards, recapturing the ball before the Oshkosh forwards who expected a kick Into the back field, could make an effort to fall on the pigskin. Her second trick play came Immediately after Oshkosh had kicked out from Its 25-yard line on Mantowoc's failure to drop Uick for goal. The ball landed on Oshkosh's 50-yard line In Manitowoc's possession and while the Oshkosh players were all rushing forward to line up for the scrimmage, Manitowoc rekicked, the ball going far toward Oshkosh's goal. Manitowoc was in full pursuit of the ball before Onhkosh could turn and but for the fact that Manitowoc was off side and could not touch the oval until it had come In contact with an Oshkosh play er, she could have regained the ball dangerously near Oshkosh's goal line.

This ended Manitowoc's repertoire of trick plays and then Oshkosh took a hand In the game. The one touchdown In the first half was the starter. The second half marked the complete downfall of the Manitowoc team. Utterly mystified by the double pass worked 1 by, the OsUkosh players for large gains 3 3 Swell styles of this season's latest.

I like these handy little things to carry In the pocket ever so much better than Ethyl's Buddha, for example. He Is a beauty from Japan, and anyone who gives his shrine proper recognition and service never grows old, gets wrinkles or gray hair. I call It perfectly shocking the way Ethyl does believe in that thing. She puts fresh roses in front of him every day; but Ethyl Is certainly wonderfully preserved for a girl of her age." "I know she Is eight years older than me, and that would make her thlfsty, though I've heard her deny it in the most barefaced way," said No. 2, with satisfaction.

"Well, at any rate, I like her Buddha far better than those dreadful gilded dragons and hideous little South American and Mexican gods that lots of girls have. Exchange. THE MARKETS. New York, Nov. Street-Trading was very animated at the opening and prices advanced, with very few exceptions.

London anticipated the advance here, prices of Americans rising there contrary to the general current of the market. The gains here were not fully up to the London parity, but extended to a large fraction in many railroad stocks. Those companies in the southern region and the Pacifies were the favorites. The smelting stocks and Amalgamated Copper were heavy. Many thousand share blocks In the railroad department were recorded.

Enough stock was marketed on the rise to cause a pause in the advance, but no material effect was paid. Outside of American Tobacco, which dipped 1, and Continental Tobacco a point, conspicuous buying of Chesapeake Ohio and People's Gas advanced them Wf- each. Suh-seqquently nlon Pacific advanced to 73 and there was a large demand for some of the low-priced stocks, which had a sustaining effect all around. PORN STILL LOWER. Chicago, Nov.

IDOLS FOR LUCK. The Ip-to- Date Girl Poors Oat Her Libations at furious Shrines, "Do you keep anything by you for good luck?" was the serious Inquiry of one sunburned maid of another, whom she met at the ribbon counter. "Why, of course," replied No. 2, with a com prehending Bmile; "mine is a dear, delightful Chinese godlet, so to speak. It was given me by Fred, my brother, who had it of a reconstructed boxer.

Fred is invalided home from China, where, one night, in Pekln, he overwhelmed a sallow little villain by sheer force of his two strong arms. His captive proved to be an ex-wrestler, who was so charmed with Fred's proweM that instead of being handled over to the authorities he was easily converted Into a much-needed laundry-man. "So successful did my brother persuade Fu Wong that the future of a boxer was a dark one Indeed, that when he got his wound and was about to start for home Fu Wong asked for a farewell Interview. As a tender testimonial of his regard and reformation he pressed on his captor the dearest little carved figure of a secondary, but none the less powerful, Chinese god, who has particular influence with the powers that make pigtails grow. Fred Is becoming touchlngly bald, and the sight preyed evidently on Fu Wong's affectionate nature, so he presented the cunning Ivory deity, along with some prayers written out In Chinese characters.

Skepticism is, I regret to say, one of the few flaws in my brother's character, so when he was unpacking his kit he threw the Ivory Image and prayers Into my lap and said I might try it on my hair, which is falling out.
