ACTIVE ASHLAND ATHLETES Young Men from Sannders County Everlast- ingly Wallop Oaptain Tuffield’s Crew. — GIVEN A GOOD LESSON ¥ M C A Migh Sohool Champlons Teach Them that | Beef Alone Can Never Win a Foot Ball Game—Towa and Kansas Also Winners, ! The Ashland High school foot ball team @emonstrated the fact yesterday atternoon that it bas earnea its reputation by good, hard work. Though the men are heavier than high school teams will average, they are mot nearly so heayy as the Young Man's Christian association team, which they de- foated yesterday, Thoy play an excellent team gamo, however, and their interference §s remarkably good. In yesterday's gamo the Young Men's Christian association never failed to make a gain where they bucked the line, owing to superior weight, but it is Almost cqually true that they never gained around tho end, The opposite was trie of Ashland. While bucking the line was not generally fruitful 8he seemed to be all alone on the field when Bn end run was in progress of ercction. Wimo and time again she went around the end for ten, twenty, fifty, and over seventy- five yards. There is no telling how much farther Brush would have gone this time if he hadn't made a touchdown when he got ¥hat far, Theso long runs, however, were made in tho first half, Ashland making twenty-two of her points before the end of that half. Oschenbien was injured and Jef- ferfos, Doane’s coach this year, took his place. This seemed to put new life into the [boys of the triangle, and from that to the end of the game Ashland got but six more points, though she fought as she never Jfought before, Omaha Works a Whirling Wedge. Omaha started off with the flying wedge, Made some gain, but lost the ball. Brush %hen went around the end for fifty yards. After some scrimmage work Ashland lost the ball again. Omaha lost on four downs. Ashland made ten yards through tho lines, then lost the ball on a fumble. Omaha made ten yards ona wedge, then she lost the ball on a fumble. Then Williams got und the end for twenty vards and made a glvwhdnmn and Shedd kicked goal. ;. Omaha started off again with the flying Fwedge for a few yards gain. Coleman went hroughi the line for five yards. Van Camp took the ball through on a wedge for twenty . Just here one of Ashland’s players got funny and swiped the batl for two sacks wvith his fist, whereat the umpire sent him back to his base and gave Omaha five y on a foul. Then Van Camp bucked tho lino tavice aud went through on a wedge over for 8 total gain of fifteen yards. Waltemeyer svent around the end for ten yards, and Tul- old went through the line for a touchdow o kicked goal, making six points for Omaha. Rather Quick Work. 1t 100k Ashland just soven minutes to rush he ball over Omaha’s baso line for a touch- g and three seconds longer to touch a Omaha garted off with the flying wedge for five yiffus, ana, after some hard infight- ing. Brusf took the ball up into Omaha's back yard for a_touchfiown, o run of about meventy-five yards. The ball after the start oft was rushéd aown to Omaha’s five-yard Jine: At this juncture Oschenbign was hurt and Joffries took his place. After some sharp uppercutting, both sides got groggy and fhmbled the ball: “in the melee it got loose and rolled “over the line, Omaha making a foty. In the few minutes remaining of he fiFst half tho ball walked up and down the fleld a little, but nov much was done. " the second half Ashland took the ball and made twenty yards on the checkerbourd ‘play. Shedd weit around the end for fif- | teen more, and Gilbert put twelve on tap of hat. Ashland lost on four downs on maha's five-yard line, Omana -lost the alance on a fumble, and Mains took it over or & touchdown. Shedd kicked a goal, Omaha then tried the checkerhoard for fwenty yards, Van Camp went around the nd for ten more. Tufleld took the ball, but ilams broke through the line and dropped him in nis tracks. At this stago of the game some ono kicked Pickering in the back and he gave way to lark. Ashland lost ground on some fum- ling,then Jeffries broke through und downed 3ilbert before he had time to weigh anchor ind so the ball got into Ashland’s territory. Oue Poor Little Vunt, ~Shedd punted the only punt in the game, But his hind sight too high and the ball it some of his friends in tho back, Ash. Jand lost tho ball on downs, then Omaha ilowed suit on afumble. Reasoner bucked ghe Line for fiftech yards. Williams went around the end for ten yards and apparently had the field clear before him, when Clark ed his props. “oddter somo more body-blow work Omaha be bail and sent Van Camp through #hie line for ten yards. Sheldon took the ball and gaineditwenty yards, when ho was faTKled aroundthe neck and severely in- gped.

A% to A Shutout. QThe much talked of foot ball game between the Council Blufts Young Men's Christian association team and that of the High school came off yesterday afternoon at the grounds on the cornerof Eifth avenue and ncil Bluffs. Game was called at 3 o'clock, and in spite of tho cold, raw wind that blew durivg a good portion of the afternoon about 200 people were on hand to see the game. There wero teachers, pupils and friends of the High school boys, all ready to yell when the High school team made a good play, and the Young Men's Christian association boys had buggy loads of pretty girls, who were all ready to pierce the November air with screams whenever a touchdown was scored by their side, but very few of them knew touchdown from a left tackle, but that dia not interfere in the slightest degree with their enjoyment of the play, for they managed to keep in the vicinity of those who were acquainted with thelittle ins ana outs of the great American game, and when these few pulled the string the cream of delight was sure to come, and with as much eelat as if the screamer had not been in the densest ignorance as to what it w about. To all appearances the Young Men's Christian association team had a decided advantage over their opponents, although the developments of the afternoon showed this to be an illusion. I'ne team seemed to have gotten its name largely by reason of the fact that Lew Dale was a member, for s0 far as anybody knows none of the others had ever been inside the Young Men's Christian association rooms. Most of them were among the younger members of the Pottawattamie county bar, and the only reason that has so far been asserted for their receiving this name is the fact that they did not belong to the Young Mer's Curistian association. In weight they aver aged anywheve from fifteen to twenty ounds er than the High school boys. This was a deciled advantage in a game where the main thing, to an anprejudiced on- looker, seems tobe to climb on top of the frame of one’s opponent and then flatten him out. But the association team lost this advan- tage by lack of practice. The High school boys had been playing together considera- bly, and were not only famihar with all the detalls of the game, but their muscles were havd and they were able to stand all the “flattening out” that their oppouents chose to administer. They sawed wood and said nothing from the time the game started until the final grand smash-up came 10 the hopes of the.association boys, and managed “to make a score now and then that was suf- ficient to make their opponents’ mouths water. The following is the way the players stood : . Tosttions, Everett Left end. Hoskins Left tackle Left guard.. pis jiight 5 mpley......

It was a pull and haul all the way through, and out of the ruins the High school team pulied six scores, whileall the Young Men's Christian ns- sociation could get was a laree, hollow goose egg ho game was something of o curiosity from the fact that no one was killed or seriously injured. There were a few bloody noses, to be sure, several of the boys had the breath knocked tempora ouv of them, and Ayles- worth was compelled to turn a back som- ersault in an uncomfortable sort of man- ner without touching Mis hands w0 the ground, but none of the injuries were serious enough so that the substitutes had to be called upon nt the fleld while their friends w ied off the field on strotchers, High School. poll, .

Particularly has this been true in the matter of wrecks on the rail, where dis aster has followed disaster, and death has almost mvariably been a passenges There can be little doubt that the heavy incrouse 1n travel, due to the fair, wasina measure responsible for several of thess heart-rending casualties, but aside from any possible connection with the great exposi tion the disasters of the past summer, at- tended with heavy loss of life, have been far in excess of the previous record in this ¢ rection. Frightful fatalities by fire, flood and hurricane have repeatedly startied the news-reading public, while crime has been rampant and man has perpetrated the most shocking atrocities in taking the life of his fellow. It may not be out of place, as this very un- usual year draws toward a close, to briefly summarize some of the more sensational and startling occurrences of the Columbian summer.

S etk ASSUMING SERIOUS PHASE. answered miners were ving in 1 Falls, quent pouring in of the Immigration Question Causing U In Raillway Circles The immigration question begins to assume a serious phase, and unless some agreement is reached at the meeting of the Western Passenger association Tuesday, called for the purpose of discussing the problem, the Santa Fe_undoubtedly will withdraw from the association, in which cvent the organiza- tioa would undoubtealy disband. Colonel H. C, Townsend, the general passen- ger agent of the Missouri Pacitie, arrived in Omuha yesterday morning and at once went into executive session with General Passon- ger Agent Lomax of the Union Pa- cific over . the 1mmigration question. While Mr. Townsend is not a member of the committee appointed to confer with Mr. Lomax, he comes undoubtedly to- labor oasiness “with the Union. Pacflc ‘peopie_and get some expression of opinion .as. to what they will do should other roads agrec to come into the fold. So long, however, a8 the Southern Pacific on the southand the Canadian Pacitic on the north continue todemoralize the immigrant business by the use of the “Sunset” line and steamers on the Atlanuic it isa foregone conclusion that the Union Pacific will not be aparty to any arrangement except one of absolute fairaess toall the lines in interest. 1t is exceedingly doubtful if the committce appointed by the Western Passenger associ- ation will ever have an interview with Mr. Lomax unless they agree to seo him instead of waiting to see the receivers. From a well known railroad man it is leaaned that the committee was decidedly discourteous to Mr. Lomax in asking toseco the receivers. taking the matter up over the head of Mr. Dickinson, The general passenger agent of the Union Pacific’ is thoroughly adyised as to the wishes of his superior officers and prob- ably fecls the covert insinuation wade by the committee that he is not empowered to speuk for the rond. When this was inti- mated to Mr. Lomax he laaghingly said that there were greater matters at stake than eotting hot over little techuicalities, and gave the reporter to understand that he was ready to treat with the committee at any time they would come to Omaha, as the gen- eral manager and himself were always at home. Mr. Townsend returned to St. Louis last ovening, and will make his report to the as- sociation on Tuesaay. —————— Board of County Comumissloners, The county commissioners held the regu- lation weekly meeting yesterday afternoon, at which they allowed the pay of the judges and clerks who served at the last election.

Prabriemia, Nov A gonoral strike was ordered on the Lehigh Valley road tonight. The reason i8 the company's refusal to recognize any committes of body of men as the representatives of employes of the road. Aftor repeated attompts maae by the grand ofticers of several railway organ izations to gain audience with the officials of the road, after a subcommittes from the goneral committee sitting at the Bingham house in this city, composed of bona fide employes of the road, had failed to sccuro recoguition from the road's highest ropro- sentativo in this city—First Vice President Voorhees—a further consultation was held among the grand officors of tho organized train workers, and tho order to quit work was telegravhed to all gmployes along tho line of tho road. Declared a General Strike. Tho result w. s o general strike was de. clared. T @ had bogun to got tied up at 10:30 o'clock, and by daylieht not a wheel is expectod to bo moving on any part of tie entire system. Eighteen hundred and ten men, employed in all the mochanical part of running a rairoad, will be idle at daybreak. I'he result of the strike was not unlooked for byany of the employes, and from tho manner in which the ofticers of the comp: talked today it was not hard to unders their feelings in the matter, They are not surprised. Vice President Voorhees sat in his office tonignt patiently awaiting the in- telligence he knew would come. He ex- pressed the benef that the men would strike at 7 o'clock, but when that hour passed and no intelligence was received ho made an- other guess and said 12 o’clock. He was not. so well pleased when he got wora at 10 o'clock that the strike was on. He accepted the situation as gracefully as the circum- tances would permit, d used the tele- b key in tho most vigorous manner pos- sible, Chalrmnn Wilkins Talks, Chairman Wilkins of the strikers’ commit- tee, when seen tonight relative to the trouble, said that since the strike had been declared he was not prepared to make any statement as to the probable outcome. Ho siid they had only one point to gaiu and this movement was the first step toward convincing the railroad company that they intend to make a determined stapd upon the point at issu We hope to succeed;” he continued, “and it lies with the men themselves whether they are in earnest or not.

It was the desire of the men to make u strong fight and win by all fair means. Vice President Voorhees' Statement. After the strike had beon declared First Vice President Voorhiees made the follow- ing statement: Twa employes of the Leligh Valley railroad calied atmy houso cacly this morning and. ated they were . subcommlittes fron ittee which is in sessfon in the Bingham heve.

T roceived assur- unces that they knew of but a fow, if uny cases of so-called grievances on the road. sole point at issue, so far as can bo gathered, was a demand on the part of the employes that the c should recognize them us a reprosentative committee nud tront with them assuch. As this woula put questions of dis- cipline out of the control of the officers of the rond it is impossible such a request should bo granted. Caso of the Employes. The grievance committee issued a long statement of its side of the case. It recites the negotiations which have taken place between the men and the officials, and in- sists that Vice President Voorhees agreed prior to the abrogation of the lease of the Lehigh Valley to the Reading road to give them all they now ask and that this agree- ment was subsequently recognized by the Lehigh Valley ofiicials. *“The complete change of front on the part of Mr. Voorhecs,” the statement goes on, *'is not, in the minds of the men, accountea for in any other way than by the fact that higher authority has decreed iv should uot be.” it is stated by persons who have had an inkling of what is going on between the men and their employ that the whole trouble was occasioned by the discharge of Chair- man Hughes of the Railway T raphers ation.
