WIRE HELD FOR ANARCHISTS.
Tho Party Roturns Some Inoidonts
of tho Trip-All Praiso Pro
fessor Loos.
Tho motnbors of tho party com
posed mostly of University stu
donts which loft for a tour through
Europe, undor tho managemont of
Prof. James T. ' Lees,' have re
turned, all in good health and spir
its, and presumably much wiser.
From all appearances the trip was
a pleasing success, and hardly oiio
of tho tourists will over regret
what tho cost was, when tho inesti
mable value of tho knowledge and
pleasuro gir'ned is iigured up.
Every mombor of tho party has
tho hignest praise to bcsiow upon
Prof, .bees lor bib excellent man
agemont and tho ability ho dis
played in conducting tho iinancial
part of tho expedition, and tho
Knowledge of tho foreign places o
interest that he possesses, which
was used to such good advantage
to tho tourists. Tnis was the sec
ond such tour tho professor has
conducted from the University,
and tho royal success of both has
made him quite a hero in the eyes
of tho stuuents. The time con
sumed by tho ontiro trip, from
Lincoln to Lincoln, was about 10S
days, over three months, at a cost
ot $320 per capita, including ail ox-
inses ot living, transportation,
lotol bills, 'etc.
Tho party was mado up of the
following porsons: Prot. J. T.
Lees, W . Ii. Hay ward, Gcorgo II.
Dern, (i. II. Hall, It E. Finney,
W. W. Wilson, G. F. Eishcr,
Ralph II. Johnson, Prof. V. J.
Quick of tho university of Mis
souri, E. V. Eerrin and R. A.
Woods, both of Marquis, Iowa.
Lincoln was left on J uno 2, and
Juno 5 thoy arrived in Now ork,
and sailed the next day for Lon
don. Mrs. Ja&. T. JLces, Mrs.
rllurlbut and Miss Tremam, accom
panied tho party to London. Lcm
mgton was the lirst place visited
in England, which place was mado
tho headquarters ot tho party, for
some time and trips were made on
Avhecls to Coventry, Stratford-on-Avon,
Rugby, Oxford, Warwick
castle,,; Kenilworth, Stonloigh
Abby and Guy's Cliflc. London
was then visited for two weeks,
then to Paris for a week, Versailles,
Geneva, Switzerland, by rail to
Cluses, then by stage to Chemonix,
which lies at tho foot of Mount
Blanc. llavarro mountain was
climed and then tho party c-ossed
the Mor do Glaco to Mauvais Bass,
then thoy proceeded to Mount
Elegero which was ascond;d. Ge
neva and Intorlaken were the next
places of interest visited. The
Wongern Alp was climed and tho
best viow possible to bo obtained
of Jung Frau was had.
A day was spent at Born, fa
mous for its bear pits, then Lu
eerno was visited and Mount Rigi.
On this peak tho party succeeded in
getting lost one dark night, but
nothing serious resulted, oxcopt
some fruitless wandering and a
lttlo anxiety. Milan ancl Naples
wore taken in, Vesuvins was
climbed, and Rome was next
reached.
r.lt was hero that a littlo incident
befell tho professor and Will Ilay
ward which thoy will not soon for
got. Tho expedition reached Romo
just after tho attempt was made at
Signor Crispi's life, and tho watch
fullness of tho Italians over all vis
itors was increased. A revolver,
Hayward's ,camora, and a handful
of tobacco the professor had in ono
of his pockets, aroused tho suspi
cions of the officials who no doubt
thought tho tobacco contained dy
naunto, while thoy rogarded tho
camera as an inforual machine.
Tho rest of tho part wore released
who immediately sought tho Amer
ican consul, but tho professor and
Will wore undor tho survoillanco of
tho Italian guards at tho custom
house for about four hours, who
woro amused tho while by watching
tho operation of tho "infernal ma
chine." No dilliculty was experi
enced in getting out of tho toils
after the consul made his appear
ance, and thoy woro soon going
their way rejoicing.
Tho rest of tho route took in
Mount Pisa, Florence, Padua, the
oldest city in Europe, Venice,
through tho Tyrol, taking in a
corner of Austria, Munich, Mur
omburg, Loipsic whoro the famous
battloheld was viewed; Dresden,
Berlin, whore a week was spent;
Frankfort, Main.; down tho Rhino
to Cologne, Brussels, visiting tho
battloliold of Watoiloo, Antweip,
whore tho World's fair was in pro
gress, across tho channel to Lon
don where another week was spent.
September Sth they set sail lor
Now York from South Hampton,
on the steamer Now York, which
broke tho record on the Amorican
limo for tho fastest time between
these two points, the trip being
mado in six days, seven hours and
fourteon minutes.

in stale, was viewed.,
Ralph Johnson remained in New
York where ho will study law.

samo thing, but includes only the
expense from Now York and re
turn. The annual

day evening was tho most success
ful ever given. Tho largo audi

VACANT PLACES WELL FILLED.
A Sketch of tho Now Instructors

Conservatory Pamphlet.
Owing to. tho departure of sev
eral members of tho faculty from
tho univorsity, for various reasons,
it was necessary that these places
should bo tilled, but while many
students will mourn the loss of
sonic esteemed instructors, still, a
glance over the list of now ones
who have taken thoir places, leaves
a doubt as to whoso presence is to
be preferred. All the now profes
sors are of considerable experience,
and como strongly recommended
and it is thought" that tho faculty
has been considerably strengthened.
Prof. G. D. Sweczey comes to
us from Doane. lie obtained his
degree of B. A. In 1873, at Boloit
college, Wisconsin and hi M. A.
three years later. While at Doane
he had chargo of tho science de
partment, and comes to Lincoln to
manage tho U. S. weather bureau
in company with Mr. Lovolin
which has boon located at tho uni
vorsity. He will probably not
havo any classes, at least this year,
but will engage his time investiga
ting tho etleets of tho absorption
and evaporation of tho soil, on
given crops, rain fall and the gen
eral problems of irrigationT
Prof. George 13. Dann will iill
Professor I-Iussey'S place ao prin
cipal in charge of the preparatory
courses. Ho is a graduate of Den
nison University and Amhorst, and
is an experienced teacher, lie
spent three years of his life study
ing in Germany. Ho is a skilled
musician and will probably deliver
some lectures on art. In the law
college, Attorney Somors hasbeen
added tofho list of lecturers. Dr.
Robt. A. Clark will iill Professor
Bowcn's place in tho gym. Ho is
a graduate of Williams college, and
for live years was director of the
physical department of tho Y. M.
C. A. of Springfield. His degree
of M. D. was attained at tho Uni
versity of Vormont.
C. F. Ansley will officiate in tho
position tilled last year by Professor
Peterson, who has gone to study in
tho Univorsity of Sweeden, Pro
fessor Ansley graduated from tho
university m 90, and tor two
years held a position in Niagra col
lege, N. Y. Ho recently returned

Berlin. R. P. Gray has been
elected to fill the position vacated
by Professor Boldon. Ho was an
instructor for one year in tho Mar
maduke military acadomy of Mis
souri. Mrs. Manning, who worked
so hard last year boforoand during
tho charter day exorcises, will re

Some Delay Experienced, but the
Boys are at Woric
Some delay in jetting tho boys
at work in tho f cot-ball Hold has
bean caused by tl io continued ab
sence of Captain Dern, who Urns
boon in Europe all summer. Afow
of tho boys havo b sen training dur
lug tho lust week or two. In the
ajKjonco of the Cftl'tauK.ftnypu1--
lations as to tho positions of tho
playors will bo idlo, but we havo
plontyof good mon, and no posi
tion will go bogging, as has neon
tho case somo years. Of last year's
team thoro are horo, Flippin, Oury,
AViggins, Shue, Dorn, Lowry,
Frank, and Whipple. Wilson is
expected at any time. Sweeny,
who played sub a short limo last
year, will also bo here. Bud Jones,
of tho team of 'i)2, is looked for
but is not sure. King, captain
and half-back of tho Iowa college
team last year, is in .school and will
play with us. A number of prom
ising now men are coming out, ho
that, taken altogether, it looks as
if, so far as men are concerned, we
are in better shape than ever be
fore at the beginning of tho year.
It is probable that we will do with
out a coach this year, at least for
most of the season. This of cour.se
will bo a disadvantage, but if all
work together it need not hinder
putting up a winning game. Fi
nancially tho prospects arc not so
bright, but as economy thu liile
this year, that is no drawback. It
will only make the boys work
harder. .By pulling together and
doing away with all unnecessary
expense, wo can play the season and
never feel tho pressure.

Athletic Notes.
Tho punt will play tho most im
portant part in tho foot ball games
thib year, owing to tho alteration
in the rules. Several of the boys
who have an oyo on tho position of
full back aro vigorously practicing
but nothing lirst-class has devel
oped yet.
After the support furnished the
Lincoln baso ball team by tho citi
zens of this eity4l it seems hard to
bo placed in fourth place. There
is no reason why Lincoln should
not have had first place, had tho man
agement paid sutlicicnt balaries to
obtain good player, as thoy wero
ablo to do, considering tho support
they received.
The new grounds selected by
Manager Teal for the practice of
the foot ball team will bo a very ac
ceptable chango from the rough
and hard-trodden campus. The
now grounds aro located about six
blocks northwest of tho university,
on.Jhc "bottoms." The soil is
soft and pleasant to fall upon, and
the grounds present all tho features
of a lirst-class foot ball field.
A great number of tho civil en
gineers wont up on tho Burlington
extension to work, carrying water,
bawling ties, stringing ties, and
sleeping in freight cars. Thoy re
port a rough but healthy trip."
During tho summer months, sov
eral Uni parties and picnics oc
curred. Forhaps tho most enjoy
ablo gathering was tho Union pic
nic at Lincoln Park. About iif ty
students wore present and the af
ternoon was pleasantly spent un
dor tho trees. At six o'clock, a
delicious suppor, which had been
brought out by the girls, was
spread out on tho tables. Tho
party returned to tho city about
ton o'clock.
The annual encampment of tho
N. N. G. which ocourred at Bur
lington Beach last August, was at
tended by all tho Uni boys who
live in Lincoln, all of whom woro
amused at the rank display of tac
tical. Knowledge, unco tne wnolo
Brigade came to " presout' from
tho "order," and tho crowd
roared. Ed. Adams was an, aid-do-qampand

everything in favor of tho opposi

If the present bright prospects'-
lor mat team mean anything, the
championship for tho west can be'
determined by it. Tho makq up
will be something like this:
Elliot, full back, who captainedtJ;'i
tho Iowa Stato University team ln
last year. Ho is known aa the
" big full back" and weighs in tho
neighborhood of 1S5 pounds, pip
tain. Elliot is practicing UwJSm
Omaha at present. For tho half
backs Abbott and Tuffiold may be
chosen. Abbot is an ex-Ann Arbor
student and playc, weighing
about 175 pounds. Tuffiold, while
not so heavy, is all that his namo
implies, llo is stocky and wiry,
and has played foot ball for years,
lie has a good sprinting record and
is well known as an all around ath,
elete. Frank Crawford is thoro to
play quarter back. , lie coached
the Uni team last year, and tho boysr
know what thoy aro running
against when he is behind tho line.l
The make up of tho line is fully!
as ..good as tho force behind it. 1
Waltemoyer will play center, a
position ho has filled for years. I
Another thing in his favor is his
weight which is about 195 pounds. '
Charley Thomas, if not soleoted for
a half back, will probably play
right guard. lie is a graduate of
Ann Arbor univorsity, and last
year was tho coach of tho Baker
university, Kansas team. Thomas
weighs about 185 pounds. Jeffries,
who coached Doane last year is a
candidate for loft guard. Ho

player. Joo rolcer, a Frincotonj
man, who played in his first class.
