With n victory over Missouri, Nebras
ka's el.ni.ee for winning the pennant this
year are the brightest sin- ever had. It
must be understood light hen, howeVer,
that It Is going to take the hardest kind
of work on the part of everybody. The
team has received a great deal of en
couragement lately, but there Is some
work to K done yet on the tlnanclal part.
A number of the students have not kept
their pledges, and a large amount of the
subscription money remains unpaid. Oth
erwise the team Is In good shape and
ought to give the Knnsans a hard tus
sle. The result of the lown game Is no
criterion of Kansas' weakness. The ball

tho sidewalk passed llko a shadowy

The gloom and quiet that prevailed
about tho Xebrasknn oitlco last week,
hns been disolled by tho customary let

whether Will Just wants to let us know
that he reads the "Rag" or whothor he

Mr. Johnston's paper was probably
thrown Into the Billings mall sack as us

from this otllco did not nottco whether It
fell out or not. Ho is sure however, that
the sack was not so full but that the cord
was proiierly fastened.

WEDDING BELLS '&6.
His many old friends and classmates
will be glad to learn of the marriage of
Daniel Rich 'OS,. Tho happy bride Is
Miss Grace Hawk of Grand Island, a Inst
year's university student. Mr. Rich Is
at present employed In the electrical
lighting works of Kearney Nebr. The
nuptual rites were quietly solemnized at
Kearney. The ceremony was character
ized by its beauty and simplicity, and the
lack of all ostentation. Only u few of
the most Intimate rlends were present to
witness the happy event.
The sun stood high In the glittering
heavens; the level mesa streched away
to tho hazy range of the Uinta, hot as
a furnace top a boundless reach of fiery
hades, threatening death to all that
dared to brave Its power.
Cussooteh had gambled and lost.

brero gone, Cesspootch had nothing left
but pony and bridle. The mounting tide
of tiro water In his seething brain, arose
and engulfed his reason as he strode sul
lenly forth Trom the suttlers' to where
his patient little broncho stood swelter
ing In the cabin's shade.
Mounting, he lashed him viciously and
hooded away from the agency toward '
the distant mountains. The pony gnlloped
easily for a time but soon began to lag
In the awful heat. The great bronze sav
age, boiling within and baked without,
sat like a bronze statue, with no sign of
life, save occasionally to ply the mer
ciless quirt.
"Cllpplty clip" pattered the pony's feet
In tho dry growth of drooping sage brush;
swish, swish, hissed the wicked quirt.
Poor little broncho was running now
with drooping head and clumsy feet. His
eyes were bulging nnd dully glazed; tho
clunking bit rallied In his parched mouth.
He no longer sweat, tho muscles of his
hnunches twitched; his dry little hldo
seemed fairly to crackle with each con
vulsive bound.
On n slight rise the pony strikes his
blind feet Into the yielding sand, staggers,
stumbles nnd goes down, his last breath
escaping in a shuddering groan.
"But, pa," protested the Baptist dea
con's boy, "haven't you always taught
