Such a _ decisive victory was unexpected, and the much- heralded Nebraskans were a doleful lot when the last whistle sounded. For the first ten mi..utes Nebraska had decidedly the best of the play and Minnesota seemed nervous. ‘Then the Gophers braced wonderfully, and it scon became apparent that Minnesota had the better team. The tandem ard guards back formations played by the Gophers proved effective. The Carlisle Indian, Rogers, whom Nebraska pro- tested, was in the game and attempted three goals from the field, all of which failed by slight margins. * Minnesota’ first scored a safety by blocking an attempted punt which Ne- braska was forced to make on her five- yard line. After that the Gophers tcok a brace and forced the ball to the three- yard line, only to lose it on, downs. Three times did the Gophers slowly force the ball from the center of the field to within the ten-yard line, and then lose ft. In the second half Minnesota started in with a rush and soon had the ball on Nebraska's five-yard line, and Rogers then pushed over for the second touchdown, ten minutes later Fee again With but five minutes to play it looked for the first time as if the Cornhuskers would re. Nebraska kicked to Dobie, who fumbled, gained the ball. They had soon forced it to the Gophers’ twenty-five-yard line, but were there held for downs just before the whistle blew. ADAMS’ OR. No Action Will Be Taken Until Janu- ary by University Rerent«. has yet been held of the committee ap- | Madison, Wis., Oct. 15.—No meeting pointed by the university regents to consider President Adams’ resignation, and ex-Senator Vilas, who is a mem- ber of the committee, says no action has yet been taken toward the selec- tion of President Adams’ successor, and that nothing is likely to be done for some time. No proposition, Col. Vilas says, has been sent to any one in regard to the matter. Gossip, however, is busy in discussing the new presi- dency. There are distinct movements on foot tn favor of Prof. J. W. Jenks of Cornell and State Superintendent L. D. Harvey by their friends. There are also several who think the presidency should go to Dean E. A. Birge, but con- siderable opposition to this comes from other members of the faculty. Prof. E. J. Turner also has many supporters, Nothing is likely to be done by the re- gents before the January meeting. NORTH DAKOTANS PLEASED, | Election of Chaplain Pierce to Suc- | ceed Bishop Edsat, | Fargo, N. D., Oct. 15. — No class of people will be more pleased than the military over the election of Chaplain Pierce of the regular army to be bishop of the Episcopal church of North Da- kota.

From this hole they injected about a teaspoonful of dynamite into the lock, and, attaching a fuse, set fire to the same, The explosion not only broke open the outer door,: but it also broke open the lock on one of the inner doors and forced it out so that they could reach in with a stick and pull the money out of the drawer. OBJECTS OF CHARITY. Wisconsin Indians Are in Deplor- able Condition. Black River Falls, Wis., Oct. 16.—The Indians near here are in a deplorable condition of destitution this fall, and are all objects of charity. The small- ‘pox quarantine against them was be- gun just as the blueberry season began and for some time they were not al- lowed to sell their berries at all, and after that they could only sell them by bringing them to the city limit line and ‘having them disinfected. The blueberry season is their harvest, which was practically lost, to them. Then they were not allowed to work husking corn and digging potatoes as usual, and this told very seriously against them. Their annuity this fall will be a welcome re- lief to them, LOST IN A GALE. Barge With Seven Sailors Adrift on Lake Superior.

The proceedings will undoubt- edly he taken before the courts this week, however. The complaint and ap- plication were drawn by President Ankeny and Secretary Olsen. The normal board will at first try to establish the unconstitutionality of the part of the law relating to the normal schools because the schools are nov mentioned in the title of the bill. Should this action fail the normal board will bring an action to limit the power of the board of control, so that the board of control will have no voice in the se~ lection of the educational supplies of the schooi. ‘The September pay roll and expense list of the Moorhead normal school has been sent to the board of control by Secretary Olsen.

State Auditor Dunn and Land Clerk George Flinn returned to St. Paul re- cently from the Red river valley dis- trict, where they have been holding sales of state lands, Sales were held at Wadena, Detroit, Mocrkead and Fergus Falls, and they were the most successful ever held by the state.

About 15,000 acres of land was sold at an average price of $8 an acre. More than 1,000 people attended the sale and the competition in bidding was very keen.

From present indications nearly the entire 1000,000 acres offered wil! be sold. TEACH PUPILS USEFUL LESSONS. High Schools of State Add Commer- cial Courses. waifhere has been a gratifying increase in the number of commercial courses presented by the high schools through- out Minnesota,” said State High Schooi Inspector George B. Aiton. “Fully a dozen new schools have added this year two or more commercial studies to their lists, I do not know whether the com- mercial course suggested in the last an- nual report of the inspector of state high schools is being given in full in any school. “There is a strong tendency in the commercial direction, and many schools are putting in commercial courses. For many years bookkeeping and com- mercial arithmetic and some allied sub- jects have been taught in a few schools. The commercial course is not entirely new, but simply a development of the former courses. “Last year forty-seven schools taught bookkeeping, twenty-eight commercial arithmetic and seventeen commercial geography. At the present rate of add- ing commercial subjects to the lists of studies commercial education will soon be common throughout the state.” ITALIANS NOT WANTED.

How to Plant Bulbs. The soil for bulbs grown in pots should be a rich, mellow one, made up of garden loam, sand and old cow ma- nure in equal parts. Work it over untit you have a mass of fine material. Pre- pare it before the time comes to pot your bulbs, so that there need be no delay in planting them on their arriv- al. It is quite important that all bulbs should go into the ground as soon as possible after they are re- ceived, as the moisture which they con- tain evaporates rapidly, and with it goes much of their vitality. Leave them exposed to the air and light for two or three weeks and they will be so weakened that the flowers they pro- duce will be few and inferior.—“New” Lippincott. Mrs. Madison’s Case.
