mittee on credentials.
A motion to hear J. A. H. Hopkins

CAE HAS SMASH UP
From Thursday's Dally.
The residents of the vicinity of
Lincoln avenue and Granite street
were rather startled last night when
a loud crash was heard and they hur
ried from their homes to find a Ford
touring car badly demolished at the
intersection near the Atlantic house.
It seems that the car. which was
owned by parties residing at Friend,
Nebraska, had been driven up the
hill and when partially up the hill
side there had been some trouble that
necessitated the occupants of the car
eetting out to make a few hurried
rePairs and as they were P?1 ' the
car the brfkes faiJed to olln, a
car started on down the hill and

gathering quite a good rate of speed
hit the bottom with more or less
force and as tne result the two rear

This Sport Will Be Enjoyed for the

Opens Next Week.
The high school basketball season
will soon be ready to launch itself
and permit the lovers of this form
of sport to enjoy a number of very
interesting games during the winter
season.
The workout of the candidates for
the team has shown some splendid
results and a number of very fast
players have been developed in' the
school in the short time that they
Jiave been working out. The last
year's team was largely seniors. Sat
tler. McCarthy, Schneider. Brubach
er and other of the fast players re
tiring at the close of the school year,
and therefore it became necessary
to develop a new line up and the re
sult has been that a team of excep
tional fastness has been whipped in
to shape for the season.
The team this season vill not be as
heavy as thatvof last year but the
players arc fast on the floar and
should prove a hard proposition for
nny of their opponents to defeat.
Howard and Harry Dwyer. Stewart
Chase. Frank Gradoville and Charles
Ilaitford are among the promi&rhg
material that the ; athletic depart
ment of the schol will pla"e on the
floor this year and their reserve force
numbers excellent material so that

WEATHER THAT

California Certainly Has Nothing on
Nebraska -This Fall Maybe

California far famed as the land
of sunshine and temperate weather
bids fair to lose its reputation to Ne
braska. In fact the stakes are up
and unless the weather man shifts
the scenery all that our fair common
wealth will need is a goo press agent
to put it in the class of her western
rival, where they grow two crops a

Nebraska has yet to experience its
first real freeze of the year, and to
date no snow has fallen Such a fall
as this is truly uncommon.

Then the gong sounded and after!
one minute of rest the big fellow

This was very tame as Andy was

would put the gritty little fellow

hold him up and help him to come

weighing about 25 pounds. Andy

Sometime durinsr the late hours ot

catch and was therefore very easy
to raise. They then proceeded to giv
the building a thorough overhauling
in the search for valuables but aa
far as could be ascertained there was
nothing of value secured.
The large safe that Etood in the
northwest corner of the office had
been attacked by the night-time visi
tors and the combination knocked
off the afe in an endeavor to open
f it u nvi till. I urru . c - i i i

to be round this morning on tne
premises. The removal of the com
bination dial from the tafe made it
impossible for the owners to open it
up to find if there was anything of
value taken from it and it will be
necessary to have an expert come
and open the !afe before it can bo
possible to find out if anything is
missing, but from the general ap
pearance of things the visitors wore"
unable to get the safe open.
The drawers in the desk were all
pulled out and ransacked through
but there was nothing in these Ihat
was of any value aside from bu?i-

Whoever committed the burglary
were very careful about removing all
their instruments or tools used an
there was nothing found in the office

that might indicate what had been

The burglary was discovered th!
