Browning, ono of Colorado's dobatora writes an account of the- Lin coin trip for the last lssuo of tho Tlgor of Colorado college Wo quoto a fow paragraphs which show tho apprecia tion of Nebraska treatment: "Friday morning wo attended a rally meeting In the interests of tac debato and heard some lino speeches by Dean Hecso of tho Law School,.

Tho Indians won by a score of It to 10 after a rather unexciting game. Tho Ne braska team did not appear to mo to bo our equals and tho crowd was small and listless. Their athletic field would compare with ours about as fifteen cents would compare with a dollar and a quarter. "Friday evening after a very scanty meal wo had tho pleasure of attending a debato which happened to take place that night. It occurred In tho Univer sity chapel. Tho room was crowded, about 700 people being present. Beforo entering wo met Governor Poynter, Chancellor Bessey and the judges. When we appeared upon tho stage wo woro greeted with a terrifflc "U-U-Unl-Vor-Ver-Vorsl-to. N, E. Bras-Kl 0, My! And then the room resounded with "Pike's Peak or Bust" that made us feel moro at home. "After the debato was finished, Gov ernor Poyjuter arose and said "I have a divided decision. The judges vote two for Nebraska and one for Colorado." Tlion the roof fell in, or tho floor blew up oi-2'-mothlng. A stupendous roar lilt the roof and rolled all around the chapel and out through windows and doors into the street. A throng of students rushed upon the platform and began to toss their victorious comrades high in the air. Caldwell and Rastall suddenly- remembered a pressing en gagement out In tho hall and bolted leaving to me the task of gathering up our books and papers. While thus engaged, I was seized and before I knew it I was sailing up up up al most through tho roof. "Hold still and stilfen your back" canio a voice from tho distant depths below and I hold. "Three times I went up higher and higher, and three times I came down with a rush into the strong arms be low, then I was let go, and tho crowd dashed after Caldwell and Rastall who fortunately for them were at that time fulfilling their engagement down stairs tho chapel is on tho second floor. "Wo met in tho Chancellor's office where we were duly congratulated and where some encouraging words were said by Chancellor Bessey. We grinned at our condolers with that hearty grin that a man wears when he rises from a slippery pavement and looks around to see if anyone is near. Then wo went down to the telegraph office and sent to Colorado tho sad news. Then wo went to tho restaurant and partook of n repast.

Benjamin Androws of Chicago was present. Ho was wel comed with enthusiastic cheers and made a short speech. "Tho treatment wo received In Ne braska was excellent. In fact, it far surpassed my expectations. Tho men who entertained-us woro flno fellows, gentlemanly and courteous, nnd every thing was dono to mako our stay a pleasant one. Tho crowd at tho debate was fair in treatment of us nnd wo have returned with only tho ploasant est memories of Lincoln and tho Uni versity of Nebraska, except, of course, tho memory of tho decision which was nnturally unpleasant. Wo wero beaten In a hot debato and all that wo can say Is, "Walt until next year, Nebraska."

Thre Is no moro popular man in tho west today than tho subject of this sketch, Dr. W. I. Seymour, now per manently located at 1219 K street, Lin coln, Neb. Dr. Seymour has given his life to the study of the eye nnd while yet a young man in years, his equal in the master of his profession has not been heard of. He has spent vast sums of money In travel, Visiting not only tho most famous sections in ibis coun try, but his touring in foreign lands has given him an opportunity that is sought after by many but accomplished by but few. Personally the doctor Is a pleasing man to meet and get ac quainted with. He is of a sympathetic disposition and his legion of patients bear witness to his ability in tho cure of tho eye. Ho personally superin tends every case and tho cures that have been accomplished are most phe nomenal. He stands before tho profes sional world without a peer in his line. Ho Is surrounded with every conven ience and tho latest Inventions for test ing tho condition of the eyo, and a visit to his suite of palatial offices at 1219 K street, Lincoln, Neb., will satisfy you that his mode of treatment is based upon scientific principles and a thor ough knowledge of the needs of his pa tients. If your oyes are weak or fail ing, don't delay, but write him of their condition. Ho will truthfully tell you what is best to, do and ho has never been known to misjudge.
