T T L3 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: fiATUBDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1804. NEBRASKA AT FOOT BALL Great Interest Shown in the Game by the University Students, TEAM HAS BROUGHT CREDIT TO ITSELF 1ts Achlevements on the Field of a Charace ter that the Members May Well Feel A Or—Preparing for Towa's Coming. In these days Thanksgiving day Is not complete without its foot ball game. Where the family reunion around the turkey and foot ball confiict, the latter generally pre- vails, In Omaha for the past three or four years we have had a foot ball game upon this day and now it Is a permanent fixture, being the day chosen for the annual championship 'game between Nebraska and lowa. Three years ago Towa won to 0; two years ago the game resulted in o tie, and last year } braska carried off the much coveted palm by the close score of 20 to 18. This year will bo the deciding game, and judging from the records of the respective teams Omaha people will have an opportunity of witnessing a contest worthy the watching. The four great western state universities have joined themeelves into a league and every year they contend for a $200 pennant Two years ago Kansas won the pennant; last year Missonr! and Kansas were tied for first place, and at the present t.me this year Mis- sourl is in the lead, with Nebraska and Towa tled for second place and Kansas last, but everything depends upon the Thanksgiving day games, and lowa or Nebraska may yet win, and they are going to play their cards to the last. Kansas and Missouri play at Kansas City and many of the knowing ones predict that Kansas will win, although she has bzen d feated by both Towa and Nebraska. If Kan- sas does win there will be a tie, and the team which has the =mallest number of points scored against it will carry off th pennant, and the indieations are strongly in favor of Nebraska. It is probably true that at the present writ tng Nebraska has the strongest team west of the Mississippi river, although she has suf- fered two defeats, once at the hands of Doane by a score of 12 to 0, and oncs to Missouri in a flerce and exciting contest, the first cham- plonship game; score, 18 to 14. Nebraska | Kot the worst of the deal in this game and she played in hard luck, beng unable to kick goals. These defeats were not unex- pected and they occurred early in the scason, and are due to the fact that Nebraska de- {layed in getting a coach. To offsct these de- feats are four very creditable victorles, upon which Nebraska might justly claim suprem- acy over all other western colleges. Ne- braska administered to Iowa college at Grin- nell the worst drubbing she ever got, and is the only team that ever shut her out without a point; score, 22 to 0. The 'varsity next | beat the Y. M. C. A. of Omaha, 34 to 6, In a loosely played game, reflecting very little credit upon Nebraska, but her team was com- posed largely of substitutes, in order to de- velop new material. From this date Ne- braska took a SHff brace, did away with some of her men who were playing upon their past records. Since the change they Rave been improving steadily and are well nigh invincible. VICTORIES IN KANSAS, Last Friday the team started on a southern trip to mect two of the hardest teams in the west—Kansas university and Ottawa. Kan- sas was walked over and trodden under foot to the fune of 14 to 6, and proud Ottawa, | composed of seven of last year's Baker's vic- \torlous team, with a few well known--ath- “lotes from other collegss, was compelled” to lower her flag in one of the greatest games "ever seen in the west. Flippen, Nebraska half back, by a magnificint plunge, scored {the only point in the game and Crawford i kicked goal, leaving the score 6 to 0. Over these glorious victories the students of the university were so elated that they tendered to the victorious eleven a reception rarely ac- corded to any prince or potentate. Chancellor Canficld was the happlest man among them all and in a day he raised $100 to buy the team sweaters and stockings, so that the players might appear resplendent in he Thanksgiving day game, when they are attling for the honor of their alma mater. If these aforesald tcarlet and cream sweaters and stockings are not “hoodoos” we may ex- | pect Nebraska to play a brilliant and sci entific game. Experts say that our western teams com- pare fayorably with the very best teams in ! 8he east. They excel in point of material, but are behind in training and skill. Hector Qowan, Princeton’s famous tackle, at a ary of $1,000, was secured by Kansas this year to coach thé team. Sherman of Michi- gan coaches lowa. Robinson of Tufts has charge of Missouri, and Frank Crawford of Omaha is tralning the kickers of Nebraska. Neither time nor money nor effort have been spared by ether of these teams to win the supremacy, and a good opportunity offered those who like to see action passion displayed, who enjoy a contest in which strength, agility, nerve, alertness, speed, skill, headwork, generalship, are all eombined in the one team and matched against the same qualities the'r oppo- nents. The lusty lads of Nebraska for us as follows: Teft tackle; Wilson, center; Jones, right right ‘tackle; Wiggin, querter back; Yont, right half; Flippen, left half; Fair, full back; Funk, Bradt, Dungan, Thorpe and Sweeney, substitutes. Of these men seven were on the team last ear. They are Flippen, Yont, Dern, Wiggin, Vhipple, Oury and Wilson. Flippen and Yont are the {wo halves who made £0 many marvelous end runs in last year's game. INDIVIDUALLY CONSIDERED. . Flippen, the famous colored half back, is good natured as ever and twice as for midable. He is playing much better ball than he did last year, and no team yet bas en able to resist his terrific plunges hrough the line. He is good enough for any eam in the United States. He is five feet leven and a half inches in height, welghs 79 pounds and is 23 years old. Yont 18 a dodger and this year Is running low and hard through the lite. He did the best work last year in advancing the ball of any man on the team He is 21 years old, stands five fe nine and a half inches in Belght and weighs 160 pounds Fair, full back, Is a new man, but he was great find for Nebraska. He Is the best | locker on the team and a ground-gainer | wherever he it sent.

TESTIMONY OF ITS SUPERINTENDENT City Engineer Suggests that a System o Mains Be Lald Exclusively to Froteot the Husiness Portion of Omaha from Fire—Last Night's Inquiry, The question of fire protection had another inning in the council chamber last evening when the special investigating committee re- sumed the examination of Superintendent Hunt of the water works company In rela- tion to the eapacity and possibilities of the present system. He was first asked to give an exact table of water mains used in the city, which he did as follows: One and one- half fnch pipe, 18 miles; two ich, .07 mile; three inch, 28 miles; four inch, 9.88 miles; five inca, 28 miles; six inch, 93.24 miles; seven inch, .92 mile; eight inch, 30.38 miles; ten inch, 10.22 miles; twelve inch, 5.94 miles; fourteen fnch, 4.59 miles; sixteen inch, 6.08 miles; eighteen inch, 1.93 miles; twenty ineh, 1.08 miles; twenty-four inch, 3.50 miles; thirty inch, .28 mile; thirty-six inch, 7.60 miles; forty-eight inch, .38 mile; total, 179.80 miles. When asked what, In his opinion, was the reason why fires had made so much headway in the central part of the city, he said he was not a fireman and was not qualified to answer. He was certain that it was through no lack of pressure, as at the time of the Fifteenth Street theater fire he had noticed the gauge in the office in The Bee' building and it did not show a variation of over a pound and a half in. pressure during ithe fire. In relation to that firg he said that tlié fire- men did not use the hydrants nearest the fire. As a general proposition the only way to increase the present pressure was to build new reservoirs at a higher point.. The pres- ent pressure was from eighty ta eighty-five pounds, and if a pressure of 120 or 130 pounds was required for effective work, as stated by the chiefs of the fire department, it would be impossible to supply it by direct pressure. Such a pressure would burst every foot of plumbing in the city. MUST RELY ON ENGINES. It was the general custom In large cities to rely upon engines for fire protection. An increase in the size of the mains would make no difference in the suppiy”of water at a hydrant. A six inch pipe would| edrry more than the hydrant would demand, and any increase in the size of the main would not in- crease the flow of the hydrant. When asked a direct question as to what remedy he could suggest for the present difficulty the wit- ness frankly asserted that he did not know of any. Mr. Hunt contradicted the statements of the fire chiefs that the pressure was better in the north part of the city than in the south. He asserted that some of the low districts toward the south- had a better pressure than any part of the city. The consumption cut but little figure with the pressure. If every consumer was cut off it would not materially increase the fire pres- sure. The number of streams used had no effect on the pressure. Twenty streams could be thrown as high as a single one, and there had never been a fire in the city which would have taxed the capacity of a single ten inch pipe. He suggested that the fric- tion resulting from the use of long lines of hose largely reduced the efficiency of the pressure. In regard to the breaking of hydrants at the large fires he said that it was due to the carelessness of the firemen who turned them the wrong way. Chris Hartman of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners’ was called to the stand and asked why there was no driveron the water tower at ‘the:time of: the Morse-Coe fire. Hé said Jt was simply because they were short of men and money. The board had been seriousiy impeded all summer by (he lack of funds, and this®was one of the in- Stances when it was indicated. REFLECTION ON THE CHIEFS, At this point Mr. Montgomery attempted to score a point against the chiefs of the fire department. He questioned Mr. Hart- man closely in regard to the board's under- standitg of the duty of the chiefs as far as remaining in or near the office in the city hall was concerned, He asked if it was proper for a chief to be at a place of amuse- ment when on duty, and the witness replied that it might not be proper in every instance. In reply to a question the witness said that the insurance companies were much dissatis- fled with the present condition of affairs and threatened to increase their rates materially. Tho fact was that Omaha had always been classed as a first class city and received a first class insurance rate. During the past two years it had been demonstrated that it was @ third class city, as far as extinguish- iug fires was concerned. Several compa- nies had refunded the money of their patrons in preference to doing business in tufs city, and there were a dozen more which were contemplating the same step. Unless some better means were provided for extinguishing fires in the large buildings the busivess men of the city would be with- out adequate insurance. The solid compa- | nies would pull out and those that remained would get three or four rates and the prop- erty owners would have to pay them. He had held the insurance companies in abeyance as far as an increase in rates was concerned until the Morse-Coe fire had demonstrated beyond a doubt that the fire department was uneble to cope with®the present inadequate pressure in case of a fire above the third story. Tho witness was succeeded by City Engi- neer Rosewater, whose examination occupled the remainder of the evening. He had been familiar with the plan and operation of the Omaha water works system since Its con- struction, It was original'y designed to sup- ply about 5,000,000 gallons daily, with a head of about 300 feet. At that time the total a of the city was eight and one-half square miles, This had creased to twenty- four and one-half miles, to which must be added the area of South Omaha, which was now supplied by the same system. About six years ago the water works company had removed its pumping station to Florence avd laid out a considerable area of settling basins, which were ahout sixty feet above the level of the river. From these basins the water was pumped Into the reservoir at Wal- nut Hil, which regulated the pressure throughout the eity. Later the company had subdivided the system into three di- visions. The lower districts of the city were supplied by gravity pressure from the reser- voir. The higher parts of the city were supplied by engine pressure, while the- ex- treme southern district and South Omaha were supplied through the station at Twen- tieth street and Poppleton avenue, where the water was taken from the mains aod pumped into the pipes leading in that direction, MAINS FOR FIRES ALONE. When asked to suggest a plan for Improv- ing the present system, he sald that there was a good deal of misconception as to what constituted un_effective fire stream. The tests that had been made had determined the leight to which spray could be thrown, but that did not constitute a fire stream. What was a fire pressure when there was but one five story bullding in Omaha could not be congdered adequate now. With 300 feet of hose, a oune and one-eighth inch nozale and | ninety pounds of pressure, a stream would barely reach the floor of the sixth story of a building. With 600 feet of hose an ef- fective stream could barely reach above the third story. He thus corroborated the state- ments of the fire chiefs earlier o the Investi- gation Detatled figures were cited showing the volume of water that would be thrown under various conditions, and Mr. Rosewater con- ciuded that with the water running through the mains at the velocity which was copaid- ered most desirable a six inch main could only supply one line of two and ose-half inch hose With 150 pounds of pressure an en- gine could throw an effective stream through 800 feet of hose into the seventh story of a building. With 200 pounds pressure under the same conditions the engine would throw an effective stream into the elghth story and discharge 370 gallons per minute. It was his opinion that the entire pipe system fn the city should be changed. The malns | Wading in one direction should not be lese than twelve fnch direction should should also be A directly over the mains. The post hydranig were all right in the suburbs, but & bdfter pressure would be ob- tained by put! manholes in the streets and thus placing the hydrants directly over the source of supply. This system was in use In Boston and ofher large cities. He figured that the changes he suggested could bo made at an expense of about $125,000. He then took up the plan of providing a direct and exclusive fire pressure for the business portion of the city. In this way a pressure of 150 pounds could be secured in the business part of the city, and the ex- pense would be about the same as the other. This pressure would ipsure the best results that could be secured with engines, It no such plan as this was adopted he would ad- vise the purchase of additional engines. An adjournment was taken until Monday night. —_——— “When a man's single’ he knows nothing of good housekeeping.

LITERARY NOTES, Harper's Weekly of November 17 will be the Horse-show number, with an iliuminated cover. From time to time there will be interesting contributions on topics connected with the present conflict in the east. M. Stephane Mallarme, the French poet, suggests that the publishers of books on which the copyright has expired should be compelled to pay a small royalty into a fund for the benefit of needy authors. A London weekly perpetrates the following appalling joke: “Mr. Kipling is beginning to take a deep interest in dairying. Every morning he milks—but that's an ‘udder story,’ as Rudyard himself would remark.” The term “in evidence,” which has driven its roots pretty deep in common usage, fs declared “monstrous” by astute Anglicans, who say it is ualike the French en evidence and a legal term meaning “as witness" and “‘confirmator of,” which is undoubtedly true. John Kendrick Bangs' quaint humor is to enliven the pages of The Ladies' Home Jour- nal with a series of twelve articles depicting the club talk of four men about women's affairs. Mr. Bangs calls this club “The Paradise club,"—"paradise,” he says, “be- cause no woman nor serpent ever entered into it.” Mr. Percival Lowell, who has contributed not a little to our knowledge of Japan in his “Noto" and “The Soul of the Far East,” will soon publish through Houghton, Mifin & Co. “Occult Japan: The Way of the a book on the Shinto faith, and em- g the results of study and personal observation. Harper's Bazar will devote a great deal of space this month to winter wraps, reception toilettes, and furs. Children's winter cloth- ing will receive special attention, both trom the beautiful and the economic points of view. Articles on Golf and other outdoor sports will appear, and a very practical series on dinners and evening cntertainments is among the prominent features promised. The scene of Kuayard Kipling's first Amer- ican story, which is to appear In the De- cember number of The Century, is laid in Vermont, and all of the dramatis personae aro horses.

A few days ago the fruit and produce commission merchants of the city received the following: “The fruit and produce commission mer- chants will ‘take tea’ Friday evening, Novem- ber 23, at the Commercial club rooms at 3 o'clock. No assoclation is to be organized No subscription is to be taken up. No| formality will be pardoned. No absentees will be forgiven.” While these invitations were not in the least pretentions and were written on a plain letterhead, they had the desired effect. Shortly before the appointed hour last even- ing the wholesale fruit and produce dealers of the city commenced to arrive, and soon thero was a fair-sized crowd assembled in | the parlors of the Commercial club. R. C. Jordan started the flow of mirth by walking up the five flights of stairs, only to find the gate locked, and was then compelled to walk back agaln and come up by the ele- vator route. For once in their lves the com- mission men appeared to forget all about glutted markets and disappointed shippers and time passed rapidly until the doors of the banquet room were thrown open. At the invitation of Mr. Branch, who acted at toast master, the members of the trade were not long in seating themselves at the tables. . Among those present were: K. B, Branch, Robert Purvis, M. H. Howes, R. C. Jordan, Jake' Williams, Julius Peycke, A. C. Riddell, R. M. Cross, E.J. H. Wohlers, C, H. Mullin, W. B. Riddell, W. H. Hazzard, N. H. Nelson, W. W. Bingham, Bert Whitney, J. R. Snyder, J. A. Clark, H. F. Kellog, Ed Lytle and J. E. Chastain. With a few exceptions the entire whole- sale fruit and produce business of Omaha was represented at this, the first social gath- ering of that branch of trade ever held in the city. It would be no easy matter to find a more jolly crowd of business men in the city of Omaha and the commission men evidently believe that laughter begets good digestion. Robert Purvis, whose appetite was evidently poor, did good service in bringing out the humerous side of every question brought up. With the passing of the cigars Mr. Branch announced that no formality would be tol erated; that it was a gathering for the pur- pose of discussing matters of interest to the trade, but that no resolutions would be en- tertained or collection solicited. *'Several gentlemen will be called up,” said the| speaker, “to respond in the breezy style characteristic of Omaha and Council Bluffs | commission men. I believe that there is too | little real acquaintance among the gentiemen engaged in our line of business, and that a little exchange of ideas will do us all good.” HOW THEY ANSWERED. Jullus Peycke was called upon to give his ideas on the ‘‘Mental Disposition of Com- mission Men,” and remarked that it ahd been some time since he had seen so many jolly faces together at one time. Wherever he had gone he had found commission men to be a very jolly set of people and he did not believe that there was any other line of business that could show a better natured class of men. “Very few people really know the kind of life we lead,” continued the speaker, “They see us at our places of busi- ness, surrounded by tropical fruits and a crowd of customers descended from the old Romans, and they envy us. When we take into consideration the trials of the commis- slon men's life it is really strange that they should be so good natured. A commission man always has a smile on his face except when the market goes down too suddenly.” Mr. Purvis was called upon and remarked: “You speak of the trials of the commission men, but think of the troubles of the poor shipper. R. C. Jordan said that he had never at- tempted to make a speech, but compromised the matter by rendering a comic poem in dialect, which caused no little amusement. A. C. Davenport, of The Bee, was called upon to discuss the subject of market quota- tions, and pointed out the importance to the commission business of full and complete market reports. Jake Willlams was introduced as one of the good things that had come out of Council Bluffs. The subject assigned-to him was “Kicking.” The gentleman said that while it had been agitated since the commencement of business the question had never been settled as to which one was always to blame, the kicker or the kickee. The speaker was inclined to look upon the pleasant side of the question and drew much consolation from the fact that other lines of business had to contend with Kkickers even to a greater degree than commission men. After having tried his hand at operating a World's Jair hotel he was quite contented to settle down to the commission business. Mr. Hazzard gave an interesting account of his experienco in business, dating back to 1865, and by special request told the story of being ordered out of Little Rock, Ark., be- cause he was supposed to be a sympathizer with the negro. The balance of the evening was whiled | away with the recital of personal experiences, Interspersed with amusing stories and anec- dotes. ————— Valley Hrovities VALLEY, Neb., Nov. 23.—(Special)—Dr. W.

Ho told the date and gave the name of the justice who performed the ceremtony of a marriage that has never taken place. To make himself appear in the role of a groom he set up the cigars to his friends, went into the real estate business and tried to buy a house and lot, and was going to bring his bride to this place at once. The Valley paper came out Friday with a glowing account of Mullendoore’s marriage and his pros- pective location in this city. But he is not married, and wanted to decelve the news- papers for what he terms notoriety. iy Philosophy for w Bill Collector. A collector of unpald bills has a hard time of ft, but one met a philosophical debtor recently who convinced him of some astound- Ing facts, relates the Syracuse Post. The collector said that he had been chasing the said philosophical debtor for about six months and was getting tived. It was al- ways ‘‘come around tomorrow,” or “haven't got it now. “Say,” he said, when he made his last trip, “‘are you ever going to pay this bill?” “Why, yes, some day,” the philosopher re- plied. “‘But look here, young man, I want to show you a thing or two. How many bills have you got in that pack?"* ‘About forty,” said the collector. “How long does it take you to visit all these people?” the philosopher inquired. “About a day.” What If all paid up promptl Why, that would be great.” Would it? What would you be doing for a living if all these debtors paid up in ono day?" The collector looked blank for a “Great Jerusalem! I'd be out of a job." “Well, then, don't be so anxious to col- lect every cent due your people. One bill a day is enough. As for me, come around some time next week, and I may do some- thing for you,” and the philosopher faded awa. moment. Fn st Qualifieati of Voters In Canada.
