"A meaningless cry to the majority of those who will read It here , but all over the United States are young men and wo men whoso hearts will respond quickly to It. To these It will bring up how many Rwnrmlng pictures ! Which one shall wo Klvc first place ? The University building Is the center of them all. We cannot think of Stanford without that. Hut can I make It mean anything to you who have never Been It ? How many times It has been de scribed In letters homo as a long , low building of stone ( you will bo disappointed In It when you see It from a distance the freshman always Inserts ) , built around an open court , called the Quadrangle , about two blocks long and ono block wide and you will not be disappointed In that. All of the lecture rooms open out Into the quadrangle , although not directly , as a long arcade runs nround the walls , and It Is Into this that the student steps fru"m his lecture rooms. The roof of this arcade Is supported by heavy stone columns , und looking along It In any direction one always nets at the end a natural picture , framed by n heavy arch of stone. Down one nr- cado you can sec what wo cell the "Ninety- five Oak , " through another the mountains , and so on. There are great towers at each end of the quadrangle , and the main en trance on the north Is a triple arch , open ing out upon the Palo Alto drive. There the oval beds make the Quad attractive. There are eight of them , with palm and banana trees , and bamboo , solid masses of green , with ( lowers around the low stone borders. The Quad Is paved with asphaltum , and you should see It In the ralnl and In the moonlight ! Hut I wont you to see It first just at sunset. That Is when I saw It. The California suntcts arc so lovely , and It Is a beautiful Bight to see the changing tints through the west entrance of the great tower , or above the red-tiled roof. In some such manner the freshman runs on In his or her first letter home. Father and mother away back In New Jersey or Nebraska are Interested In the description of Stanford , yet perhaps they smile a lit tle and think the wonderful Quad will be come an old story. It may bo so , and yet It Is like the old , old story more beauti ful as the years go by. The senior who says farewell to Stanford Is Just as likely to exclaim that It Is the most beautiful place In the world as Is the exuberant fresh man. UNIVERSITY SURROUNDINGS. When Senator and Mis. Stanford planned n university and decided that the building itself should be an education to their stu dents they showed a wisdom the results of which have been all they could desire. In the selection of a site for such a build ing they were fortunate. The university stands upon a wide , oak-dotted plain , and behind It Is a range of foothills whose shad ows of greens and blues and blacks change into purple mists at sunset. The surroundings of the university nii always form a part of the picture that comes to the student and not alone the external surroundings , but the picture of Ills own room. Where that was depended largely upon his. social life. If he was a ' fraternity nlah he probably lived In a "frat" house over on "the row , " In College - lego terrace , " Mayfleld or. , Palo Alto , or he may have , lived in tlo..great ) dormitory of . J3nclna , or' If a young woman of Roble. "Tho row" Is n general term given to three streets that run out In a fan-shape , with their point of convergence about a block from one corner of the Quadrangle. Although its title properly belongs to one street only , called Alvarado row , yet Salvatlerro street ' and L'asum avenue have crept Into the more convenient and shorter title without really belonging there. A large number of professors live In the row , and It Is there that the Roble and Enclna students ECO the' home life that Is attractive to them In comparison with the boarding school phase. The lawns are neatly kept and brightened by flowers , although as yet the young trees only predict the shady streets that are to he. The row Is only about three or four blocks long , so the little community Is vcVy neighborly. More than a half mile farther on Is Col lege terrace , which might bo called a sub urb of Mayficld , if one were willing to al low that dignity to so unpretentious a town. Few students , except those in fraternity houses , live In Mayflold , but College ter race Is populated entirely by students and professors. The bond of sympathy that links together the residents of College ter race Is the ' "bus" that conveyance which means so much to them all. Mayfleld Is about n mlle northeast of the university , and Palo Alto a little less dis tant , almost directly north. The ' "bus" Is oven more In demand from Palo Alto , as a far greater number of students reside Jn that town , and It Is to iPalo Alto that the San Jose students como In the dally trips from their hoQies. The drive from Palo Alto Is a pleasant one. It Is down a long avenue , and It Is from the farther end "pf this avenue , almost a mlle away , that every student sees tlio university for the first time. Not an Impos ing sight from that distance , for as It lies close against the hills behind ono gains no Idea of Its real greatness. It Is not until the Quadrangle Is fairly entered that It can bo appreciated. Along either side of the hard roadbed are young palms whoso lives have been saved by the Infinite pains of the Karder.er and are now flourishing In a way that promises Stanford ono of the hand somest palm avenues In California. On cither' side lies the arboretum , a large , mixed grove of representative California trees , cut through with roads , all leading to the mausoleum , which can bo seen from ono point at least on the Palo Alto road. THE STANFORD MAUSOLEUM. The tomb of Leland Stanford and his son , Le and Stanford , Jr. , In whoso memory the university was founded , Is of gray marble. n is n plain structure In a grand natural ecttlng , The strolls taken by Stanford students must be among the most delightful of all the memory pictures. H Is not for a few weeks only In spring and fall that they can bo enjoyed , but alt the year around , ox. ccpt for a few weeks perhaps In December or January. In the rainy season. The freshman observes the manners of the place , and by the time the foot ball Bcason Is on he feels as though ho were not quite n stranger. It only takes the en thusiasm of that great event to flre his heart. Henceforth ho is a Stanford man , and Is no longer a timid stranger , not quite euro whether ho has a right to yell for Stanford or not. COLLEGE ATHLETICS. It must not bo supposed that our college athletics are confined to foot ball any more than that our physical training Is confined to sports , Our tennis and base ball play ers hold their own against the University of California. In field sports wo feel sure that our renown of this year has spread abroad so that all the world Knows how near wo cutno to vanquishing Berkeley and placing ourselves high In national esteem. Wo are proud of ourselves , you see , but we would not otherwise bo real Callfornlans. However , we have the advantage of a good climate and need not bo uhut up In the house far weeks or months , to that our young men spend nil of their spare time In eporti and out-of-door exercise. While w5 do have an advantage , yet athletics must play a minor part in every man's work. The heedless freshman who puts four hour * a day In athletics compensates for it at last l y late hours , Fears of Mug "flunke ; ! out" as ( lie close of ( lie semester approaches make him vow to take less exercise and do more ' 'digging" in the future. For young men who do not aspire to ath letic honors , as well as for those who do , there Is a good gymnasium , less than a liiuvn from Enclna hftll. Even a less dis tance from Roble U the women's gym- Uaslum , with a couple of tennis courts in front and a basket ball field behind. The grmaatlum I * a pretty picture as it stnndi aRnln.it n background of trees an artistic structure of dark wood with square outlined In roof , porches and email tower. Very little has been Attempted In competi tive work by the women. A championship cup In tennis Is held at the university , but no games have been played with Ucrkclcy. In basket halt -we became somewhat ambi tious this spring , and played one game with the University of California In San Francisco , and now with llerklcy claim the distinction of being the only college to have entered Into such a contest thus for. The Intercollegiate relation between Stan ford and the University of California has ilonc great things for the cause of education In California In the last five years. Thus far Stanford has had a history of great Interest. Robert Louis Stevenson has said that the life of a worklngman Is more Interesting than that of n wealthier man because the poor man Is always so near to wont that every step Is critical , and human life Is presented to > ou naked and verging to the lowest terms. In spite of her en dowment of $20.000,000 this observation may have been said to bo true of Stanford uni versity. How true , perhaps only her stu dents and faculty realized. There have been times when It has Ecemcd that the university must be closed. This very ele ment of uncertainty has made the career of every student more momentous than It would otherwise have been. He 1ms felt an unusual attachment to the university because ho has held It as something that might pass away. The possibility of that made It doubly dear to him , bringing con stantly to his mind the fear of seeing no fulfillment of all that he hoped for In the Instltutlom There have been days In the year of 1S96 that must he remembered al ways by the students who wcro here during that time. When the great suit was finally decided In favor of Mrs. Stanford the dem onstration was only equalled by that which greeted the decision from the lower court. Upon both occasions the excitement was In tense , followed at last by a feeling of se curity and permanency that broucht a sense of gratitude to every student. COLLEGE COURSES. It Is not alone In her financial history that Stanford's career Is Interesting , but there have been put Into actual practice hero some of'the advanced theories of education , the adoption ofwhich has been hindered In older universities by the crystallized forms existing thqre. Wo have successfully tested the elective system of work , .and proven till that was hoped for It. A young man or woman entering Stanford Is permitted to choose the line of work for which he be lieves himself best adapted , and may spe cialize throughout his four years course , fitting himself for his life occupation. As every one understands who knows anything at all of Stanford university , It was Senator Stanford's Ideate to found a university where young people could bo prepared to earn a living , to be come practical , well educated men and women. In following out this Idea the elec tive system was adopted , with excellent re sults , but the school Is In no limited sense a technical one. It embraces , as all other universities do , the languages , history , lit erature and art , with fine opportunities for scientific work In chemistry , physics , phys iology and so on , as well as practical work In civil and mechanical engineering.

The Journeymen Tailors' union lodge No , 92 passed the Sunday cnjoyably by giving a picnic at Jllbbler's park. While the primary ipbject was to get away from the hot city pavements and recline at case In the shade of the cool groves , the business end of tbo outing was to provide funds for a large number of the men who are at present out of employment. Esti mating the receipts from the crowd present , the picnic must have been a pronounced success. During the afternoon the grounds wore thronged , and In the evening , when a lengthy program o dance music was pro vided in the hall , every available space In It was occupied by gliding couples. Under the management of H. P. Peterson , chairman , and C. F. Dergreen , secretary of a committee of twelve members , a tour nament took place In the afternoon , which comprised hurdle , sack and egg races. Each winner was rewarded by handsome and appropriate prizes and , then all ad journed to the dancing pavilion , where this mode of enjoyment was continued until the bells of the waiting motors gave warning that It was time to close the festivities of the day. _ _ Pass the good word aioug tne line.

EVIL OF ACCEPTING RAILROAD PASSES Aililrt-HN Dullvrrcil nt ( lie I.mv llaiiiiict | TlmrMiliiy Mulit by Henry \ViilIiiiiui nf ICiui- HIIH City. dno of the most noteworthy addresses delivered during the meeting of the Com mercial Law league In this city was the last one on the program at the banquet Thursday night. It was delivered by Henry Wollmau of Kansas City In response to the topic , "Danger Ahead. " He touched upon Eomo of the crying evils of the day , es pecially those which attach to the Judiciary. Ho eald In part : ' 1 think ono of the worst thlnps a Judge can do Is to accept railroad passes. A man may bo a lawyer In a little town In Nebraska or Missouri , and the railroad of ficials would not even take the trouble to pick him off of the sidewalk If he should fall down stairs , but In a few weeks he Is elected Judge , and they overwhelm him with passes. Now , why Is It ? They cer tainly arc not giving them to him except on the theory that they expect something from him. I think , with rare exceptions , tliey arc fooled , but undoubtedly they glvo that Judge those passes because they expect favors from him. They give his family passes ; they glvo all his relatives passes ; they don't do It from any disinterested or pure motive ; they simply do It because they think that by giving him those passes they will Ingratltote themselves with him , and that It will be to their advantage In the end. If that Isn't true , I want to know why It Is that the moment these Judges get out of oHlcc their passes cease ? "Just think of the spectacle of a Judge of a court riding around In a special car provided by a railroad company. If this special car Isn't given to bribe him , then why do they glvo It to him ? Of course , the Judge docs not think it Is , but what I am searching Is the railroad company's motive. They wouldn't do It If ho were not In of fice , but they do It to curry favor with him , and the public understands It , und it Injures the Judiciary , and It leads people to believe that this is an Indirect way of bribing the Judge. Suppose that I had u little pie store , and I was In a lawsuit with one of my neighbors , and I sent the Judge on Christmas day ten little pies , he would certainly return them , because he would think that I was trying to "reach" him , or If I had a dry goods store and the daughter of the judge before whom I had a case pending came to my store and I gave her a parasol , the judge , in his Indignation , would have her return it Immediately , and yet he would accept hundreds and hundreds of dollars of transportation from n railroad company , which Is constantly prosecuting or defending cases before him. These things become noised about , and the rank and flic of the people reason that the judge Isn't accepting something1 for nothing , and while we lawyers know that the Judges are not influenced by such things laymen do i.ot understand It and the effect Is very bad. GIVES A BAD IMPRESSION. "A Judge Issues an Injunction , the effect of which Is to stop a boycott , and the re sult might be to end a strike ; he does It because ho Is required by the law to do so. Ho undoubtedly is Just like the rest of us ; if he could favor the poor man in the fight , and not violate the law , he would do it , but he can't , and ho Issues the. in junction. In a few weeks ho concludes that ho would like to take a trip across the continent , and the same railroad company on whose behalf he' 'Issued the Injunction furnishes him a special car and ho rides In state , eating their food and drinking their wine. Every man connected with that strike or who was affectel by that Injunc tion who hears of It believes that the Judge Is in league with the railroad against the wage earners , and refuses to believe that that injunction was issued because It was In accordance with the law , but Insist that It was Issued because the railroad company had what they call a 'pull' with the Judge. "If I had the law-making power , I would Increase the salary of the judges , for none of them are paid enough. I would allow them big mileage for every mlle they travel , but I would make It a penal offense for any judge , for himself or any member of his family or for any friends , to accept any pass from any railroad'company anywhere in the United States. "Another very unfortunate circumstance Is the fact that railroads make a business of sending lobbies to judicial conventions , especially when appellate Judges are to be nominated. Now , why should the railroads or any corporation or any anti-corporation Influence send a lobby to control a Judicial nomination , when a Judge who Is upon the bench Is supposed to be Impartial and fair , and to decide according to the facts and the-law , regardless of the parties ? It Is almost a crime for any man who believes that his nomination was brought about by a railroad or corporation lobby to ac cept a judicial p'ositlon , for ho must know that If he colors his decisions In their favor he Is doing Injustice to the public , and if ho doesn't do that he Is permitting them to waste their money. Nobody on earth would believe that the railroad com panies are sending well fed and well paid lobbies to control nominations out of a spirit of patriotism , and what every lawyer who has sufficient standing to be upon the bench should do Is to say ; "I won't take a nomination that Is brought about by any railroad or corporation or * anti-railroad or anti-corporation Influence , " and the people should veto any nominations that come through that source. SHOULD DE ABOVE SUSPICION. "These things may not seem of any great Importance to us lawyers , who are deeply Imbued with the opinion that our Judges are not at all affected by these things and who know from our own experience that corporations which bestow these little favors upon Judges are more often worsted In our courts than their antagonists , and that the people who show these favors to Judges arc often loudest In their complaints , but yet wo do know that these things make a much deeper Impression upon the public than oven the supposed condition of things Justifies. "Our Judges should be absolutely above suspicion , for It Is almost as unfortunate for a Judge to bo suspected as It Is for him really to bo bad for the public , when sus picion is cast upon a man who ought to be far above It without .Investigation believes the charge at once , and If ever the confi dence which our people have In our courts shall be fully shattered no man' can toll how dlro the result or how serious the havoc will be.

Cr Mt < l At ! < I oil ity llic Ttvrti- ty-Heroml Infnntry Itinnl Concert. The band of the Twenty-second Infnntry made Its Initial bow to the general nubile of Omaha yesterday ) afternoon In the con cert given In lUnnccm park. It has cer tainly been In cvlilbncc already to a great degree since Us arrival , but on all these occasions It has figured sonicwhat as a side number. Yesterday was the whole show' In Itself and the people were given an op portunity to compare It with their de parted Idol , the Second Infantry band. The comparison 'did no discredit to tlio musical soldiers. H'could only be said that they do not number so mnny pieces. The criticism went no farther , for the baud boys wcro evidently musicians , every one of them. . The concert was an excellent one and portended untold entertainment for the people ot the city In the future. The baud was especially happy In the selections , which the members evidently themselves en joyed , These Included particularly n col lection of the beautiful nlrs from "Uolio- mlan Girl. " the deux temps , "I.lbeVty Hell" and several mealcys of popular airs arranged to dance music. These were the particular gems of the program , but every selection was well rendered. The band caught the crowd all right. The applause was liberal and largo In vol ume , ns the park was well filled. The crowd was the usual Sunday one , of people who were seeking to find some escape from the heat In the pretty surroundings and under the trees of the emerald basin , lllcycllsts were numerous ami the number of carriages was also largo. South Omaha News . W1v2Wsi5iT It Is expected that at the meeting of the city council' this evening some action will be taken in regard to the occupation tax recently levied upon all Insurance compa nies. The council at Its last meeting di rected the chief of police to notify person ally all of the local agents to pay Into the treasury the amount of the tax. None of the agents have as yet paid , and say that they do not propose to. Arrests are sure to follow , but the Insurance agents say they will light the ordinance In the district court and feel confident of winning. The threat of the agents In regard to raising the rates of Insurance Is not taken seriously by mem bers of the council. Should the premiums be Increased the burden would fall heavily upon many of the business men , who now pay a very high rate. The packing houses could bo depended upon to make a vigorous protest against an Increase of the premiums and It Is this "kick" that the Insurance men are relying on to a great extent. All but two of the councllmcn work 'for ' the packing houses and the agents think that rather than stand an Increase In the rates the packers will Induce the councllmcn to repeal the ordinance. At any rate the fun will commence as soon as nny of the Insurance agents are arrested and lined for non-compliance with the ordinance. The abating of- the Mud creek nuisance will also come uptfor discussion. The stock yards company has been notified that the council has declared the creek a nuisance and ordered that It be covered for a dis tance of one mile' Inside the city limits. That the packers and stock yards companies will protest against such a largo expendi ture of money there Is no doubt. An ofllcial of one of the 'lacking houses said yester day that he thought a great deal of the filth from the city was either dumped or washed Into the creek , and ho : bought that the city should stand nart of the cost of the Improvements contemplated. A visit by the mayor and engineer to other open sewers Into which city Fewage runs failed to discover any such odor as that of Mud creek- . The mayor said that the Mud creek odor was caused by blood and decaying flesh that came from the stock yards and the packing houses , and that th6waah from the city had nothing to do with theMulsnrico. . . * Mayor -JSnsor further said that the - citywould not * listen to' any proposition wherein the city was iniide a party to the Improvements. The city attorney is expected to make a report on the opening of Thirtieth ctreet south of Eggers to the county line. Mr. Jctter still has the street fenced up and all travel is compelled to go around by Al bright. It begins to look as If Jutter bad the best of the deal. He offered to dedl- .cate the street to the city for $800 , but the offer was refused , and he lias built a fence only upon bis own property. It is going to bo a hard matter to make him take It down. The chances are that If the city wants the street open It will have to purchase the land at Jctter's nrlce. It has been stated that the land needed for the road will cost at present prices of acre property In the neighborhood of $2,000. Poundmaster Maly will have an oppor tunity to tell his troubles to the city dads , There is no money to pay for the capture and slaughter of untagged canines and Maly last week laid off his men and put u "For Rent" sign on the pound. Ho has an Idea that the council .will appropriate money for the continuance of the work , but the mayor says "no. " PAIlMRIttf AX.YIOt'S ' FOR THE ItOAD. llolil to DlNfiiNH the Mite to Fort CronU. Saturday night there was a meeting of Sarpy county farmers at La Platte for the purpose of discussing the proposed street car line to Fort Crook. It was ( he unani mous opinion of those present that the line would bo of great benefit to the country through which It passed and should be built. Those Interested will confer with the owners of property through which the line Is to pass and endeavor to have the price of the right of way reduced to a reasonable figure. The fact that the county commissioners of Douglas county have decided to com mence work on Thirteenth street at an early date Is causing some uneasiness among those Interested In 'tho ' Twenty-fourth street route , and every possible effort will be made to arrange the details for the Twenty-fourth street route as soon as possible.

Wp'ro uftor moii who buy wlilto slnrts sotuowlioro else. Wo want to sell them ono shirt. Wf soil the bunt viilto bhlrts In the world iintl wo know It. Wo want them to know Itloo. JL HE average man knows almost as little about white -shirts as the average woman docs about "six teen to one , " It isn't his fault. Most shirt dealers place their orders here , there , everywhere , the lowest price getting the largest order .and they can't inquire very closely as to what shirts are made of or how long- they're going to wear. It's different here. A "Ne braska" shirt is as staple as the Fourth of July and you take no chances when you buy a "Nebraska" shirt. For years we have been selling the best white shirts in the market and selling 'em a good deal less than other stores get for the so-called best. Our prices are staple too 35C , 500 , 7oc for the unlaundered - dered , 500 , 750 and $ t , to for the laundered styles. The best that your money can buy is in a "Nebras ka" white shirt. Best muslin. Best linen. Best workmanship. Best guarantee got to wear or your money back. There's safety in buying shirts here. We want the shirt trade of people who know a good shirt when thev see it. Also of those who don't. "IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED , " TRY The Keeley Institute. K WHISKEY , 1IOBPHISE , OPIUM , TOBACCO AND CIGARETTE HABITS , Write for terms and testimonials.

It Is believed that In a very short time the entire membership will be on hand at the affairs , as the num ber of those present last Saturday exceeded that of the preceding week. The affair was an Informal , talking so cial , In which everybody took a hand. Music and singing were also a part of the enter tainment. The guest of the evening was Homer Moore , and he delighted the club members with several pretty ballads. Dur ing the evening refreshments were served. The party did not break up until mid night.
