A RECENT FIND
UNIVERSITY OWNS BONES
OLDEST AMERICAN.
OF
Unearthed Near Omaha Pronounced
Genuine by Professor Osborne
of Columbia University.
- The lecently found bones of what is
thought to be the oldest known man
In America are now the property of
the University of Nebraska.
Professor Barbour and assistants
have been working steadily for the
past few days as they pieced together
the bones of a man who lived In
America .before the Pyramids were
built, probablyiongor ago than any
other known man on this continent.
This man with ape-like characteristics
is attracting the attention of scientists
far and wide.
Recently Robert F. Gilder, an artist
and journalist of Omaha, had his at
tention attracted to a peculiar mound
which he found north of Omaha. Upon
opening the mound it was discovered
to be an ancient sepulchor, with two
layers of bones. The upper layer Is
evidently remains from a later tribe
that had intruded. The bones of the
bottom layer, which are burled four
feet beneath the surface, constitute
.the important discovery. Immediately
above the bones was a layer of hard
ened burnt clay one foot or more In
thickness, to which Is duoJiifilr pres
ervation from the wasting of running
water.
The skulls showed a type of man
very low Intellectually but of great
muscular strength. The forehead is
sadly lacking; while Jthe eyebrows are
of the heavy, -protruding sort seen In
the man-ape.
The lower jaw differs from that of
the modern human fa that the bone Is
much thicker, and the teeth are
ground down In the opposite direction
to which the present-day person grinds
them. The last tooth is most worn,
showing that they were used to masti
cate very coarse, hard food.
'Several flint Implements of very
crude design were found with fhe
skeletons.
Professor Osborne of Columbia Uni
versity has visited the collection and
views the skulls as being very prim!--tilro.
-Altho this Improbably the oldeBt
man found In America, yet the-Nean-"
derthal man found In German and the
man-Tipe found In Java are older.

fessor Dann, was 'appointed to Inves

Many years there's been a cuBtom, an' I guess It's here to stay,
That o' tearln up o' sidewalks, an' a takln' things away.
Course these things is done at night when most people. are asleep,
'Ceptln' Bome, who'd like to catch us, make us earn our board an' keep;
But all us younger fellers who, by Nature b gift, can run,
Wo wnnder 'round the city an' have 'the mostest fun,
Yet llst'non for the first sound that'll tell they're about
For the copa'll get you
Ef you
Don't
Watch
Out: '
So wo hoofed It klnda careful, an' wo run 'bout all the way
To where, we knew, they was a cow that 'ud eaten lots o' hay.
Some wished to lead 'er off tie her up till she got Bllm,
Other said to keep 'er fat we could put 'er In a "gym"
Where she'd use the bars and dumb-bells 'twas her privilege at leaBt
But I don't think I'll tell you-where we went with that old beast.
Now ef you'd found her first left 'er in or took 'er ouL2. '
For the cops'll get you
Ef you
Don't
Watch
Out!

An' then they was some little pigs 'at had a cozy nest
But when they wont to bed at night, they wouldn't try to rest.
Some men they Jieerd 'em squeaj, so they run with all their might,
But when they turn't the flash light on not a llvln' thing In light!
Ait' they seeked 'om In the stable-room Oh! 'twas fun I must confess
To watch them fellers huntln' a'moBt evor'wheres I guess.
But all they ever found was some tracks roundabout,
An' the cops'll -git you
-Ef you

But onc't some of the fellers that 'ud
Gettln' fun from everything, as one most alluskln,
They were standln' close together sovt o' cogltatlnHlke
When they thot they heerd some footsteps a comln' down the pike.
Just as they kicked their heels, an
They was two great big Tall things
An' they took 'em by the collar 'fore they knowed-what they's about
An the cops'll git you
Ef you
Don't

Out!
An' now .some wise old mother says 'at when the sky Is blue,
An' the air Jb full of mischief, an' the wind goes woo-oo!
You'd better mind per parents-an' yer Profs so fond an' dear, .
An' cherish 'em 'at loves you thruout the whole long year.
For the student's place is always at home that time o' night
When the goblins air a sneakln' round an' witch fires blazln' bright.

TO BE EXCURSION
MANAGER EAGER 8ECURES GOOD
RATE TO OMAHA.
Creighton Promises Good Game
Kansas to Send Delegation .
Practise 8hows Up Well.
Managor Eager has arranged an ex
cursion to Omaha and return on next
Saturday. The faro will bo $1.10 for
the round trip and a largo number,
will no doubt take advantago of the
cheap rate to visit tho metropolis.
Two hundred rooters have to go In
order to got tho rate, but Mr. Eagor
expects that a much larger number
will report and plans on taking n
tialn-load of most enthusiastic Univer
sity rooters to wake tho prosaic city'
of Omaha with a few good old Ne
braska, yells.
Tho train will leavo Lincoln Satur
day morning, returning Into at night.
It is planned to leavo Omaha after the
theaters are out, thus enabling the
crowd to take advantage of tho fact
that Maxlno Elliot will jlny at tho
Boyd on that evening. The time of-
leaving Lincoln has not yet been set
Yon account of the mid-semester exami
nation In Rhetoric I, which falls upon
that date. Mr. Eager will attempt to
got the time for tho examination
changed, or falling in that, will hold
the train until It Is over. The time
will be announced later.
Creighton University has an unusu
ally strong team this year and expects
to give us a stiff fight for tho victory;
A good game 1b already assured.
A rate of three dollars has been, se
cured by tho Kansas manager for" the
round trip to Lincoln on November 17.
Kansas, remembering the crowd of
rooters (hat visited them in 1903, is
determined to show as great a splrlU
of loyalty as possible, and will visit
us by the hundreds.
Since last Saturday tho minds of
enthusiastic Cornhuskers have not
been as uneasy asthey were upon
hearing the. result of the Kansas-Colo-rado
game, Not only did Nebraska re
trieve herself nobly on Saturday last,
but Kansas went down to decided de
feat before the speedy boys at St.
Louis. But we are not resting as a
glimpse of the practise field will show.
Coach Foster Is working his men
harder than ever and trying out the
positions with gre.at care.. There is
every reason to suppose thatlhe line
up will be considerably changed, in the
Kansas game, and strengthened over
that-of last Saturday
Rooters were more than pleased
yesterday when Chaloupka was put In
the back field against the scrubs. He
seeuiB to have found his true place,
where his weight and strength show
off to the best advantage.

General Geography class took ah ex
