LINCOLN, Nov. 30. (Special,) It h es
tlmatoa that tho backers of tho Minnesota
foot tjall team lost In tho neighborhood of
$5,000 on vtho result of tho game In this
city yesterday afternoon. 'Most of tho
wagors wero on Htorc.i, comparatively few
bots being mado that were not conditioned
on ono of tho teams BCorlng a stipulated
number of points, or else that Nebraska
would not score at all. A few persona
wagered money at odds of 1 to 2 and 2
to fi that Nebraska would win, but tho
mount Involved was not great. Most of
tho Minnesota money wa3 placed by incm
borB of tho Minneapolis Hoard of Trade,
who wcro so confident that their team could
prevent Nebraska from scoring that thoy
took ovcry bet thoy could And and then
askod for more. They had money lnractl-
cnlly unlimited quantities to wager on-the
proposition that Minnesota could score six
tcon points inoro than Nebraska, and many
bets for qulto large amounts wcro made
on this basis. Upwards of 200 members of
tho Minneapolis Commercial club accom
panlod tho "rooters" to the city and each
of them spent the morning looking for Ne
brnska money.
.".Indent Avoid netting.
Thrro was very little betting among the
student. Most of tho Nebraska money was
placed by a small number of business men
and travollngmon who had seen both teams
play and Judged by observation only. Many
of tho students rlaked from $2 to J5, but
to far as known nono of them mado large
bets.
Among tho Nebraska winners was V. D.
l'rlco, who lost sevotal hundred dollars bo
causo ho thought llryan was going to carry
Nobraska. Mr. Price Is said to havo won
almost enough to mnkc tip for the money
lost on tho election. Tho Dorgan brothers,
who wero strong supporters of tho Nebraska
team among the business men of tho city,
won sovcral largo wagon., clearing con
siderably ovor 11,000. Scvcrul of tho Minne
sota delegation wore completely stranded
this morning and had to send homo for
fluanclnl aid. It was a badly demoralized
crowd that gathcre-l In tho telegraph oinces
aftor tho gatno yesterday. They all had moj
HHgea to send, messages that conveyed In
few words tholr surprise and dlsappolnmcnt
at tho result of tho contest. Ono of theso
read: Minnesota has won tho game, but
Nebraska has won tho money," and another
ono: "Tho game was disastrous. Wo won,
but wo're all broke."
Yesterday's attendance will leave about
$400 In Nobraska's treasury after all ex
penses aro paid.

of tho political and financial prospect of

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 30. The mortal

Cushmnn Kellogg Davis, which lny In
stnto In tho governor's room In tho capltol,
wcro viewed by hundreds of pcoplo today
who silently filed through the rbom in a
constant stream.
Senator Davis was entitled, by virtue of
his oillce, to tho escort of a major general
commanding, hlch In this stnto would
mean, rlnco tho Btato has no cavalry, a
regiment of Infantry nnd n battalion of
artillery. Such an escort could not bo
readily summoned and did not meet with
tho approval of the senntor's family, who
desired that "tho services In every way
should bo as simple as possible.
Tho military escort, therefore, consisted
of Company I) of tho Flrjt regiment, Minne
sota National Guard, under Captain M. L.
Merrill, most ot whom wero veterans of
tho Philippine campaign, as members of
tho famous Thirteenth Minnesota volun
teers, and a detachment of Battery A,
Minnesota National guard, under Lieutenant
Allen, who ncted as body bearcrB. Leav
ing the houso at 9:30 o'clock, tho funeral
procession, headed by mounted and foot do-
tachmcnts of police, marched slowly to tho
capltol.
Tho coffin was carried between lines of
mourning citizens Into the building, whero
It wns placed on n catafalquo In the gov
ernor's south chamber. The main corridor
of tho building was draped simply In somber
crape. In tho center ot the chamber lay
tho body, underneath a chandelier, hung
with crcpo and smllax. Uroad bands of
crepo stretcned from tho corners and walls
of tho room to tho chandelier, and similar
draplugs were huug over each ot tho broad
doors. Tho tnll windows wcro half filled
with smllax and ferns, while potted plants
occupied tho corners of the room.
Tho catafalquo was draped with tho na
tlonal colors and tho colfin was surrounded
with floral tributes. At Its head, on an
easel, rested an oil portrait of the dead
statesman, at Its foot tho sword ho carried
through tho civil war.
Tho escort formed in double column nt
once, and tho waiting nsscmblago of poo
pie, representing nil classes of society,
passed slowly by tho open coffin to tako a
last look at tho man who had honored bis
stato whllo serving it.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 30. Attracted to
tho city by Senator Davis' funeral and In
cidentally by tho fact that a successor to
that stntcsman will havo to bo elected
within a few weeks many members of both
houses wero about tho hotels today discuss
ing tho possibilities. Tho field of probable
caudldates is large, but all such nwalt tho
action of Governor I.lnd as to an appoint
mcnt for the brief vacancy till tho leglsln
lure can act. It will bo for a term of six
weeks or moro and much seems to depend
cn tho appointment, In tho eyes of tho
politicians. It Governor Ltnd appoints
democrat the matter will bo very simple,
for then the republicans can fight It out
without any one having an advantage.
However, if tho governor, who was until
four years ago a leading republican, uhould
anoint a republican to tho vacancy with
tho Idea that the term is so short that it
would serve no party end to name n demo
crat, tho republican legislators anticipate
that bucIi an appointment might stir up
party strife. Tho republican majority on
Joint ballot Is over ninety, so that tho
fight Is within tho party ranks. Mo3cs E

The present proposal is that when tho

In view of tho strong endorsement by tho
state and leglslatlvo conventions given for
Nelson's ro-electlon It Is probable that this
will be done, nlthough somo suggestions
havo been thrown out that both senatorial
scats may bo In tho contest before tho end
oi tho legislative session. Tho contest for
offices in tho legislature, which until this
week hnd occupied tho center of tho stago
has been snoved to one sldo and will to
some extent bo decided by the senatorial
