The legislature la safely republican In both branches , and there Is little proba bility that the make-up of the legislature will be affected by contests. The closeness of the vote on members In somn localities gives rlso to many curious speculations. It will bo remembered that eoon after the presidential election of 1S9G Mr. Bryan Bought to gain some consolation by figuring Ps that 78,000 additional votes properly dis tributed would have given htm a majority of one In the electoral college. He did not figure , howuvcr , that the same number of votes distributes ! In the right places against him would have left him with only about one-fourth of the lull number of electors. It Is m .v figured out that twelve votes planted In the right places In favor of fu- elon candidates would have Insured the re election of Senator Allen. This Is becausa of the fact that the total majority of throe republican candidates for the house was only eleven , and twelve votes would have ejected the three fusion members. This would have given the popocrats control of the house and they would undoubtedly have followed the same tactics adopted last session and un seated enough republicans to give them a majority In Joint session , Republicans who ore rejoicing over the capture of the tegla- laturo may well Shiver over the clcscness of the shave.

This was thu nnro surprising to him because he had carefully analyzed the preparation and no trace of opium , cocaine or similar poison could bo detected. Physicians look with great favor upon the Pyramid Pllo Cure , because It Is rapidly taking the place of surgical operations ami because It Is so simple , so easily applied and contains no mineral or other poUous sa commonly used In euros. Dr. Esterbrook rcperls that the Pyramid Pllo Cure not only cures the various forms of piles , but never fails to give Immediate relief on the first application , no matter how levero the pain or dlsfomfort may be.

EVERYTHING IN READINESS FOR PLAY Itcil lint Content Kxpectril nil Account nf 11 It airy Between the 'IVntiin ( lime * Bother I'nrU of the Country. Thanksgiving day marks the end of the reign of the pigskin and ns a consequence gridiron I struggles of greater or less Im portance I will take place over the entire country i today to appropriately close the season. i A few post-season games will still bo ' played here and there , but when night 1 on Thanksgiving day the toozlcd-topped warriors are usually ready to lay aside their Implements I of warfare and take part In the joys ; of that not Infrequently hilarious lime when Ihey "break training. " The closing game In this section of the country will bo the annual struggle between Ibo elevens of the state universities ot Iowa and Nebraska. This game Is to lake pfaco | nl Ihe Council Bluffs Driving park , which I * situated something more than half way be tween this city and the Bluffs , with Ihe ad vantage In distance In favor o' the BluflUcs. This location Is by no means sat isfactory to Omaha footballlsts and will result In n much smaller Omaha nt- tendanco than If the game had been played In this city. However , the park Is a. better location than that selected last year. The athletic council el Nebraska university , which was given the power to pick the lo cation for the game , selected It In prefer ence to Omaha for some reasons not clca'ly known except to themselves. Council Bluffs cars are to be run directly to the grounds , however , nnd Ihero promises lo be none of Ihe Inconvenience of lasl year , attendant to the long distance and not too good car service. The gi no will be a red hot contest on ac count of the rivalry between the team1 ! . They have played eight games slnco 1SS1 , two being played In 1890. Two of these affrays resulted In a tie nnd of Ihe other six Nebraska has won four , Iowa will consequently quently make a strenuous effort to prevent Nebraska from further Increasing IN string of victories. There has been but lltlle op portunity to compare the teams this year , owing to the fact that they have had different sets of opponents during the season. Ne braska will go Into the game with n cleaner record , ns It has met with but ono defeat this year , while Iowa has been downed two nr Ihreo limes. The Hawkeyes , howc , , . , nnvo played n harder lol of op ponents. The game will settle the Inter- rollcglatu championship of the Missouri Val ley , as Nebraska has established Its su premacy over both Kansas and Missouri , while Iowa has met neither. The game will bo a pilling of Pennsyl vania ladles against the system that Is usually dubbed the Princeton game. Ne braska has for a couple of years nnd even longer followed the method first employed by Princeton In calling tackles very promi nently Into offensive play. On the other hand , Iowa will , like Pennsylvania , call upon Itn guards for Ihe famous guards back for- mallon. It used this system In Its Chicago university game some weeks ago and It was at that tlmo that the Windy City exponents of the game first Inaugurated their method of stopping this form ot attack thai was so successful In the Pennsylvania game some weeks later. The team Is heavy enough to use this play and overtops Nebraska con siderable In the matter of poundage. Thu game will be called nt 3 o'clock. The umpire and referee will bo Cornell of Lin coln and Dick .Stewart . of Council Bluffs. The lineup will be ns follows1 Nebraska. Positions. Iowa. Stringer Left end Pence Plllsbury Left tackle Eby Hanson L2ft guard Burrlor Melford ( Capt..Center Baker Turner Right guard Brockway KliiRSbury Right lackle F. Williams Folmer Illghl end Schroeder Elliott Quarterback Grlllltli Wllllruno Left halfback..S. C. Williams Benedict Right halfback Morton Erwln Fullback Hobbs Substitutes Nebraska : Drain , Brew , Llelmiim , Reasoner. Iowa : F. Morris , Bur- dick , Nixon. There Is but one big game In the east. That Is between Cornell and Pennsylvania and will take olace at Philadelphia. This will bo a struggle for blood , for Cornell be lieves \hnt \ It has mi opportunity of a tlfc- tlmo to down the Quakers and thus secure an undisputed right to be classed with the elevens of Penn , Princeton , Yale and Har vard. The Ithacans will greatly miss the crack' quarter and field general of last year , Charlie Young , but his absence Is the only thing that prevents this year's team from being classed a notch better than that of last year. While not playing , te has been coaching the team all year and this lost may therefore be partially made up. In view of the fact , thercfote , that ono of the best teams that the Quakers ever had tuc- ceeded last year In downing the Ithacans only by a small score , the Cornelllans huvo an excellent chance of skinning the defeated Penn team of the present season. The eleven will bo rather weak In ono position , half back , for Captain Whiting may not bo able to last the game , and In such event It will bo hard to get a suitable substitute. Morrison , who has been playing up to Whit- Ing's standard , according to recent dis patches will not bo able to take the place. Pennsylvania has been working steadily In preparation for this game and should be In flno physical shape. It Is repoited that It will spring a couple of new formations upon the Ithacans In lieu of the guards lack , which was so badly battered out of f-hapo by Harvard and would probably neet the same fate at the hands of Cornell. The Kansas City Medical college against Tarklo game , that was scheduled to take place at the Ames avenue park In this city , has been declared off. Kansas and Missouri will meet In Kan sas City with nothing to decide except the ! question of supremacy bctwce * themselves , I Inasmuch as Nebraska has captured the championship of the Western Intercollegiate association by beating both. Two good games will take pfaco In Chicago cage , one between the Chicago university and Michigan and the other between the Carlisle Indians and Wisconsin. rnxxsv AXU COHMM.I , MUUT TODAY Clmnee * for I-'umlilinic ( inme Are Ciood nuil the I'lelil IN MiiNliy.

The entire gatherIng - Ing I of sporting men In this city and tlr-i . number was large spent today discussing last night's light between Corbett nnd Shnrkey ami the way Irt which It wound up. There was much talk ns to whether or not the refvree , "Honest" John Kelly , had or , had not excfedcd his authority In calling all bets off , those who bet on Snarkey feel- I Ing that they should have received thrlr reward , but the general feeling among the i public Is tli.it , while It might have been a I technical usurpation on Kelly's part , ho ' probably did It In a. desire to protect the public , and that from that point of view- that ho was right. Many of thow who sup port boxing contests were much disturbed ns to the probable effect on the- attendance nt the future lights , and the opinion was freely expressed that It had put a damper on the sport for some time to conic. McVey , whose entrance Into the rltut caused the decision last night , was asked today If In- cured to make any statement regarding his part In the affair. He said : "Corbett was fouled curly In the light by Sbark y and 1 wished to call the referee's attention to the continued fouls. I approached preached the ropes for that purpose and succeeded In attracting Kelly's ntf ntlon " McVey refused to answer any questions ns to whether or not IIP knew that It was against the rules for him to get Into the- , ring while the light was going on. | Corbett salil that the stories to the effect , that ho nnd his friends bad had a hand In , the way the light ended was absurd. i "I had Sbarkoy on the run after the first I three rounds , " said Corbett , "and 1 would have had no trouble at all In putting him | to sleep.

Nov. 23.-Tommy Ryan , the champion welterweight , went against Johnny Gorman of Brooklyn before the Monarch Athletic club In this city to night nnd was awarded the decision by Referco "Yank" Sullivan , Gorman's mnnn- gcr throwing- the sponge at the end of the eighth round of what was to have been a twenty-round go. Ryan started In from the beginning of the light at Gorman's stomach nnd wind. In tno third round Gorman landed on Ryan's head several times and warmed the welterweight champion up. Goiman was slow , but game. Ryan's punches on the wind began to tell In the fifth round. In thi sixth and seventh Gorman was severely punished nnd Ryan had him going- when tbo Kong sounded. Gorman seemed quite fresh when the eighth round opened , but Ryan went nt him hammer and tongs. Oormnn was soon unable to dfffnd himself , when Ryan sent right nnd left to the ribs In quick succession. Gorman fell to the floor. Ho tried to rise , but seemed unable to do so. The srons1 stopped the count nnd his seconds cjrrled him to his corner. A physician examined him nnd declared that ono of his ribs was broken. Gorman was clearly no match for Ryan , who , after he started the claret from thp Brooklyn boy's nose In the fourth round , had him practically at his mercy. Gorman's blown seemed to lack steam and there was every prospect of a knockout In the seventh nnd eighth rounds. Four good preliminaries worn given between local pugilists.

"For Thanksgiving I am predicting fair and warmer , and I would not bo n bit surprised If before the end of the next thirty-six hours the water run In the gutters In great rivulets.

J. C. C. Owens vns booked for an address. Only about a dozen persons came and Rev. Owens did not nhow up at all. Consequently there was , ni meeting. The failure 6f the meeting to ' materialize was probably owing to It being Thanksgiving evening , most everybody being toi busy dressing turkeys for today's dinner to give other matters any attention , A meeting will bo held at this church Tucs- I'.ay evening to arrange for a general mass | meeting later In some ball down town. ftX &i < ! I i llfARD ABOUT TOWN. g "While Ihe recent storm was severe .n the western portion of the state , live stock did not suffer a great deal , " remarked Henry Hoffman , who came In from Ixmg Pine yesterday afternoon. "The stock that was - provided ' , with shelter and feed passed through ' Uie storm and came out In excellent - lent 1 shape. With animals on the range the . conditions were somewhat different , especially ' the calves and weak cattle. Some of , them died , but the number will be In- j significant. ' Sheep itli.it were on the rangn I fared I badly , as they drifted with the storm and n few died of cold nnd exhaustion , Many ot the lambs died , but those that ha.1 shelter are In flno condition. The great dlf- flcully was due to the fact that few of the stojkrr.eu anticipated n storm ot such severity * o early In the season and con sequently they wcro not prepared. " Running Ghost Is In the city lo appear as ' .1 witness In some case In the Unlte.l States court. He arrived yesterday aftcrncon , hav- i Ing come down from the Omaha ascnry , where ho resides. "The recent storm W.TJ wry severe up on the agency , " ho remarked , "and there were many times that you could not sco objects ten feet away. This condl- ' lion prevailed all of Monday and a greater portion of the tlmo during the following night. The Indians did net suffer very much and there are few Instances of freez ing reported. As the storm commenced Sunday night , few of our people were away from home and as a result they fet ! very little of 4ho 111 effects , as most of them were living In warm houses and were provided with plenty of fuel. " "If there Is an exposition In Omaha next yr-ar Canada will bo on band with a bet ter oxhIUt than H had this year , " remarked Commissioner Duncan ns ho was leaving for his homo in Ontario last night. "So far ns I am concerned , I am decidedly In favor of another exposition and a good display and I think that the officials of our government feel the same way , ns I have been Instructed to box up everything that Is not perish able nnd hold It until Ihe exposition ques tion Is finally passed upon. If there la anolhcr exposition , we want the same space thai wo occupied Ihls year. I have left Instructions to file an application for the spnco Immediately , should U be decided lo bold Iho greul show next year. All ot 'the British provinces thai were represented have derived great benefits as n result of the showJng that wn made. We have ad vertised our country and have sent many people theio who will buy farms or Invest their money In other ways. " I'ernonnl I'nrnKrnpliH , S. Burr of Boston Is at the Mlllard. G. W.

THANKSGIVING FOR THE POOR Secretary I.niiKliInml Hun an Iiunien.ie 1'IIe of Food nuil ClnthliiK to ( Jive Out. John Laughland , facoretary of the Asso ciated Charities , Is receiving a quantity of clothing and provisions at his office , 1810 St. Mary's avenue. This was distributed to the applicants yesterday afternoon. The cflleb ' will bo open Thursday untlr noon , and It Is expected that a number of the needy will bo furnished with a little cheer for Thanks giving day. The rear room of the store occupied by the institution is well stocked with clothing of all kinds overcoats , suits , shoes , hats , caps , shawls and drcsess and the poor have onfy to apply to have their wants supplied. Be sides the provisions against the cold , there j la a stock of fresh meat that has been do- 1 noted to the Atsoclated Charities by the four big packing houses , Cudahy , Armour , Swift and Hammond. There are no turkeys or duckp. but there can be no excuse for ] hunger among the poor lomorrow. | | Much of what has been contributed has come from the children of the public schools. They have given liberally. The only diffi culty that has been experienced ha * bean lo find enough teams In the city to carry the supplies to the distributing point. Mr. i Liughland has obtained the services of all 1 that bo hps been able to find and yet has been unable to collect all that the moro prosperous have put at the disposal of the Institution. He hopes , however , that by this evening all the clothing and provisions will bs gathered together and ready for distribu tion. Besides what has been given by the school children there have been many calls during the day from private Individuals who have driven to the door of the Institutions and announced from their carriages that a bun dle was In waiting at their homes , or have come afoot and left a card bearing the same welcome message. The secretary has been busy all day seeing that these donations were collected. ' There Is already so much on hand that It cannot posalbly be all distributed by Thurs day noon , and , consequently , Mr. Laughland will be at the office Friday morning to care for these who were unable to come before. The donations thlj year have not bJcn quite so large as they were last for some reason or other. But neither have the demands been so creat. The poor seem to bo better able to take care of themselves and rely to n ICFH extent upon the bounty of the rich. The calls up to today were very few , owing to the severity of the weather.
