PLAYED IN THE BLIZZARD
Omaha and Linoiln High Echoal Teams
Put Up a Lively Qarao.
LUCK WAS WITH THE HOME ELEVEN ONCE
Whatever of Knvornlilo Fortune I'ell with
the HUmllng Hnnw Lighted with the
( lute Oltr lloya-SliUun of the
Clminploiulilp Ilnce ,
Foot ball phyers are not made of the stuff
that nineties nt wet or cold. It Is under
stood , in fact , among Its devotees , that no
match may bo abandoned for any reason
other than snow deep enough to render It
impossible to got over the ground or n frost
that makes falling too dangerous. The spirit
and oven enthusiasm with which the High
school boys of Omaha and Lincoln lined up
' Christian association
at the Young Men's
sociation park yesterday afternoon
was evidence that they wore eonstl-
luted of the genuine article ; und the
game they put up , with weather conditions
ns discouraging and uncomfortable as over
n foot ball team was confronted with , Is
proof sufficient that the giuno can bo played ,
weather permitting or weather dissenting. '
The Lincoln boys had brought with them
quite n handful of spectators , Including
several admiring girls with tin horns and
black and red ribbons , ready to urge them
on to victory nnd acknowledge and applaud
their every success. The boys had built n
lire at the back of the grand stand and the
weather soon put n very chilly damper on
the ardor of these who had no duty call to
the Hold of action. Yet there was quite a
number of onlookers , mostly schoolmates of
the players , wrapped in mackintosh nnd
ulster , watching the piny ns well as was
possible through thb blinding snow.
Cln u Work All-Tlirongli.
It was not by any .means . the spectators
alone who suffered from the bad weather.
The ground was covered with .snow when
the boys lined up at 3:20 : , und as the game
went on the fall Increased in force. The
effect of this , of course , was to malco Indi
vidual work unsatisfactory , If not absolutely
impossible , and from start to finish tlio play
did not once become loose or frco.
This may or may not have boon au
advantage to thc.Omuha boys , but certain it
is that they hardly over failed to nuiko
ground when once they got the ball down in
the scrimmage.
Klifht.at the start this was especially
noticcatlc. .The ball was gradually taken to
the Lincoln line , and after ten or tittecn
minutes , during which it had never once
been frco , Purvis got It out of the pack for
an InsUilit and scored a touchdown. Shel
don converted nnd Omaha led by six points
to none.
After some more scrimmage work , Cook
mndo a short run for Lincoln , but ho never
really got frco und his course was almost
horizon tally across the Held. Mora scrim
maging , nml Kalpli Ilo.vt got the ball over
tho'lino and himself kicked the goal , thus
equalizing the score. In the tussle just before
fore the line was crossed ouo of the Lincoln
men , Wo03tor , was injured and his place in
tin * team was soon taken by Mosher.
Just bcforo the end of the lirst halt Gard
ner scored for Omaha and kicked his own
goal , malting the half-time score : Omaha ,
1 ! ! ; Lincoln , U.
Oitmliu'x I.nst Touchdown.
After the interval Lincoln started out by
. itiunir n little urouud. but the Omaha boys
took the b.ill across tliq Hold and gradually
worked " it back to , about the center. Here
"Billy "Aycrs got hold of It. and , with a clear
field , ramie a bee line for the coal. This was
the oiie piece of pretty individual play of
the aftbrnoonvrinu oven this nn unfriendly
critic-might well have 'dscribed as much to
luck us' to skill. Gardner had an easy kick
at coal , but sent the ball under the post.
There was nearly another half hour loft
for play , but there was little more dqno. The
ball was kept very near the center ! ol the
Hold , and oxccpt for ono o'r two
short snurts , was in a tight scrimmage al
most the whole time. The grand stand had
long been empty , ana the few spectators
who were couraccous enough to follow the
players up nnd down the Held were longing
only for the welcome sound of the whistle
which should announce that the battle
over.
over.No change was made in the score , which
stood nt the linish : Omaha , 10 ; Lincoln. 0.

WHERE A DAY IS .L03T.
An Intorestlne Imnglunry I.I no In tlio
I'nclllo Oconn.
A question which has often boon
asked , but rarely nnaworod satisfac
torily , is how far one would have to go
around the earth , moving cast and west ,
and supposing no time- lost in transition ,
before ono would reach the point where
today changes into yesterday or tomor
row. Evidently there must bo such n
point somewhere , for an hour is lost
ovcry 15 degrees pno goes to the east
nnd an hour gamed every 15 degrees one
goes to the west.
To put the question in nnothur w y ,
suppose it is ono minute past midnight
in Paris on the morning of October 1 ,
what day is it ut thnt same moment at
the antipodes of Paris ? Is it October 1
or September 30 ?
Apparently ono can prove that it is
cither of these days by malting au in
stantaneous journey half way around the
earth , cither to the east or to the west.
Going east , nt tlio moment the Paris'
clocks point to a minute past midnight ,
it is npproximutely 1 o'clock in the
morning of October 1 nt Vionnn , 2
o'clock of the sumo day at Sebastopol , ( \
o'clock at Astrakhan , 4 o'clock nt
Bokhara , 7 o'clock at Saigon , 9 o'clock
at Yokohama , 11 o'clock nt Pine Island ,
and noon at Fortune Island the 1st of
October nt every poiut.
On the other hand ' , , going westward ,
pno finds that it isnlO'.o'clock in the evening -
ing of September- at thu Azores
Islands , 8 o'clockiir the evening at
Buenos Ayros. 7 o'clock nt New York. 0
o'clock at Now OHouris , 3:15 : nt Mexico
City , 1 o'clock in the'afternoon near the
Aleutian islnnds 'niid noon at the For
tune islands the i date being September
30 in each case. ' -
Thus ono has dtmotistrated that it is
noon of October 1 j'iind [ noon of Septem
ber 30 at the Buracnuco , and at the snmo
time. V * " }
This would certainly bo embarrassing
to the good pooploi of Fortune Islnnd ,
and in order to avoid-such complications
and relieve well hionhin'g islanders in
thb Pacific from'riiKinfg1up'thejr.Satur
days and SundaysIn"'hopeless'fashion
au arbitrary line separating today from
yesterday or tomorrow has boon agreed
upon by the navigators of civilized na
tions.
iThis line has be < in drawn to avoid
touching laud. No one can bo exactly
sure of the moment of passing it , but
the line runs just cast of the New
Hebrides and the New Caledonian
groups and passes near tlio Marion
islands and the Caroline islands.
Captains of vessels , judging by the
positions of the islands mentioned , can
11 x the date within a low minutes.
Vessels sailing from west to east , on
passing this imaginary line , simply re
peat the day before on their logbooks ,
which consequently show two days bear
ing the same dato.
On the other hand , shipa going in the
opposite direction skip the tomorrow
and losoa day entirely. In the iirst
case the sailors get an extra day's pay ;
in the second place they lose a day's
pay.
pay.Tho conclusion of tho. whole matter is
that when Paris clocks indicate n minute -
ute past midnight on October 1 it is October

MATRIMONY IN MASS AOHUSETTS

The excess of women ever moil has

Mormonism is not permitted to flourish
in that progressive state the natural

an unusual number of old maids. Tlio

probably Horace Grpoloy'n ndvicoto
young men on the subject of going west.
The Massachusetts young mart has boon
going west ever since , but wo docllno to
believe that it is his fault that the
Massachusetts young woman Juu not
gone west with him. She stayed behind ,
not that she loved the Massuahusotts
young , man less , but that she loved
Massachusetts more , especially Boston ,
But us the Mii.ssuuhUbOtts young woman
who did not go west with the young man
of Horace Grooley'u day became an old
maid Hho missed the young man , She was
loft to lavish the vtjjiltir.of hoi- affection

LiONiiox , Oct. 1U. [ Correspondence of
TUP. UEE. ] Norway Is so cut and haggled
by the numerous liords or sea arms which
often penetrate no.irly to her eastern
boundary , that It might perhaps bo truth
fully said her thoroughfares nro mainly by
water nnd that her many nnd tremendous
stone roads of the mountains and valleys are ,
after nil , merely feeders to her silent and
inich'y water ways.
Ono could truly see most of Norway with
out over leaving a steamer's deck. Uy keep
ing to the routes established from cities
through the larger liords nnd tholr almost
countless lesser arms , nnd branches , nnd
iiovcr leaving them on cither hand moro
than a half-score miles , every principal point
of scenic interest could bo gained. And If
ono should sot out upan. a "land Journoy'
from Stavangor , on the southwestern coast
to Trondhjcm , midway to the Lofodon
islands , It Is likely that nearly ono-hnlf of
this distance of from 300 to 400 miles would
still necessarily bo traversed In the count
less row bontsroo ( baadc ) nud little steamers
of the fiords.
Thcso fiords are therefore almost first In
combined attractiveness to the traveler.
They possess thrco distinct phases of Inter
est. They are the chtof national highways ;
tlio greatest possible diversity in peasant
and village Hfo is found upon tholr shores
nnd In the adjacent valleys and , with few
exceptions , as with the glaclor Holds and
upper waterfalls , crags and dales of the
fiercely desolate f jolds or mountain roaches ,
they certainly provide culminations nnd
combinations of the most impressive scenery
to bo found in Norway.
Of Into years Norway has almost out
rivaled Switzerland ns n resort for indefati
gable lovers of- the sublime In nature's as
pects. This Is largely because of this very
commingling of the Alpine ; the marlno and
the human elements. In our own amazing Yosemite -
semite there nro Immensity , sublimity nud n
sllonco that is appalling. Hero uro all these
in infinite variety and oxnrosslonendless
soarcaclimeasureless water-depths , sheer
walls , from 2,000 to1,000 foot In height , ma
jestic snowclad peaks twice this altitude ,
tremendous torrents and waterfalls thou
sands of feet from leap to pool , glacier Holds
htfndrods of square miles In area and , ton-
ine nud softening all from an cudlcss panorama
rama of sublimity unoonrablo , that louder
threading of human color In never-failing
sight of valley or ocrio ucsts of love and
effort where hardy , honest yeomen dwell ,
Famous Norwq iitu i'lnrilv.
The most noted of thcso Norwegian liords
nro the Hardangor , the Sosrne. the
Trondhjoin and the Goirangcr. From the
first three extend more than a score of
lesser ilords. Most of these are marvels of
beauty and grandeur as Individual types.
All are mountain-walled and nearly land
locked. Their protection by the outer slier-
rlcs and islets and the unceasing tremendous
countcr-forco of mountain torrents from the
ice itclds , prevent a tidal rise of tholr natu
ral surfaces of moro than thrco foot. Of
the Jour named , the Qoiranger is the nar
rowest , the Hardangcr the most beautiful ,
the Trondhjcm.tho most interestingly diver-
silled , and the Sogno and its divergent arms
the longest nnd most savagb and oftou ap
palling in its grandeur.
Through Its accessibility from Bergen the
Hardangcr Herd is likely to bo the tlrst Nor
wegian fiord seen by the tourist. It is about
seventy miles in length. Two classes of
steamers ply upon it , as well ns upon the
other liords named , iho swift , capacious and
elegant mail steamers which touch nt few
landings , called "stations , " and the local
passenger and f might boats which take no
hoed of time , even Irom its loss. The latter
should always ba chosen. They are very
com for table , scrupulously clean , and the In
cidents of the yoyago am moro varieu und
charming. Besides , the magnificent scenery
of thd tlords 14 thus mnro leisurely enjoyed.
Moro than 100 calls for passengers or
freight are made on the voyngo to Otido at
the head of Iho llord. This brings you in
closer contact with the llfu along its num
berless valley stations ; und along the liar-
danger fiord this is of much account , as the
peasantry of the Hardanger district nro per
haps the most characteristic in dress and
customs yet remaining in Norway- The hu
man interest along the Hardanger Is continu
ous. Groups of the peasantry , especially
where setting out for or returning from
funerals , weddings or suinmor-timo festivi
ties , aio always ns picturesque as tuay bo
seen in Rrlttany or Normandy. Tlio men
uro all clad in dark garments and the women
are gay with glint und color. The Hurdan-
Ker fomnlo costume in the Held often consists
of one garment , displaying the outlines of the
form with 'considorablo ' freedom , though
th'cro will always bo a bit of color In licrchlof
about the neck or head. But when these
Hardnngor matrons nnd lasses bedeck them
selves for sad or merry occasions there nro
certain old nnd gaudily painted plno chests
in every household to bo safely drawn upon
for requisite liiiury.

day. Their waists and sleeves nro snowy
whltCj and never were elsewhere teen such
vast , spotless .and flowing aprons ns they
possess. Their big bodleos\vhloh are nlways
open for the display through a square yoke
of snowy plaits , bits of embroidery and
inonstrous silver broaches , nro quaintly
wrought with silk , white beads , or with sil
ver anil gilt , while the tremendous whlto
caps of tlio married women , winged and
blaring1 and wide , are held In place over
light wooacn frames , The girls often wear
only the Ilaxcn head dress which nature
gave thorn , braided with bright ribbons ,
nlthough Borne will bo scon with tiny beaded
caps perched jauntily upon their heads. As
tlio Irish country lassies often carry tholr
shoes and Blockings to the edge of the vil
lage on market day und Innocently put tholr
pretty feet nnd logs Into them at convenient
halting places by the roadside , so thcso
thrifty Hardangor peasant women make
parcels of tholr most precious garments and
lluery and complete their amazing toilets
near the pluco of merry making or botoro
entering tha village church , unconscious of
observation and innocent of ulurm.
Then there are the oncoming nnd debark
ing of passengers ; the curious forms of
freight lauded and received ; the continuous
crossing nnd rccrosslng of the waters by
peasant parties from valley to valley and
hamlet to hamlet ; the tourist crowds rush-
ins for Inns or engaging carrioles for moun

Where the mountains Widen out Into amphitheaters -

nt the top by n horizon-lino of iwllshod or

debris below ; then a feathery rim of plno ;

their clusters of softened gray old struc
tures , nnd then the foaming river shooting
from the depths of the vnlo , with the whit
ish yellow line of the mountain road bosldo

nud finally the namlot , brown nnd gray , nt
the very ediro of the blue waters of the llord.
biich valley scones give n sky as blue as
Italy's : suggestions of Inaccessible nnd.
frozen heights ; the mUty pearllno tints that
lay In Tuscan vales like the rlmo of ripened
grape ; a soft and languorous luxuriance such
as half shrouds nnd half reveals the valleys
of Cuba , and nil the mellow qualntnosi of
rsothcrliuul h.-.mlots at ono glanco. Wlioro
the "station" cluster of mossy structures
sots nt the mouth of shnOowy gorge , there
are cliffs not hundreds but thousands of foot
nbove , a glitter of foam line a cameo setting
to the black background , nnd now nnd then
far up the purpllnir gorge n shaft of glitterIng -
Ing light , ns If the focused beauty of some
half-hid upland dale shot for an instant be
tween weird , cloud-reaching walls.
Now for mlles wo sail between precipices
from 3.000 to S.OOO feet In height. The
sllonco hero is painful. From water to sky
there Is neither brunch of tree nor blade of
grass. Not oven wild fowl scream and
circle here ; nnd wo are told the water
beneath us is ( loop deeper far than the
noisy sea oulsldo the skerries as the crngfi
are lofty nbovo. Suddenly wo turn and
face n vale of almost tropical beauty.
Scarcely Is this contemplated before our
course carries our sight to a shore of crags
with a valley line above ; beyond this a
feathery line of forest ; than nn edge of rock
touched by tlio bright sunlight Into masses
of burnished bronze ; and fur and high be
yond Is a glittering line : of quivering sap
phire blue where the trackless Ice fields of
the Folgofond seem throbbing and pulsing
their yet fadeless fires In the ghostly upper
light.
And soon nnd on , to OJdo "tho lomiuo of
land , " where you seem to have come to the
edge of chaos-world ; nnd where tlio brown
hamlet , low lying and backed by gorge nnd
crag and foss nud height , looks lazily out
from its slumbrous inns nnd shops back
along the blue way vou came upon ono of the
finest blended scones of wave nnd mouutnnd
sicy to bo found In all our good old globe.
What Is true of this grandest of all Nor
way's fiords Is true , In particular or in more
intense and impressive type , of Trondhjoin ,
o ? Goiraiigor , of Sojjno and of nil tlio lesser
fiords.
Trondhjoin shows vaster perspectives and
drearier reaches of s'ght ; but still possesses
its measure of the wondrous versatility of
Hnrdnnger , whllo It seldom provides the
tender valley views. Gclr.uigor Is a maze of
lovely vnlos and glens , of cataracts above
the clouds , of precipices , cliffs and towering
crags , of ha.nlots upon mountains with
mountains above thcso , and of waterfalls ,
highest , slenderest , fiercest and most filmy
in all the world , and so great in number that
they uro still unnamed and uncounted. .
Sttipuiuloiis HOKIIO Fiord.
The Sogno fiord cannot but bo regarded
as the most stupendous and often appalling
continuous spectacle so far accessible to the
traveler in any part of tlio habitable globe.
It is practically a sea waterway of more
than 100 mile.1 } in length , and with branches
ami ramifications of twice that distance
split through almost solid mountain walls
from 4,000 to 0,01)0 ) feet in height. Its
waters are the deepest of all the Norwegian
liords , while the shores afford Infrequent
anchorage. If by any means the waterbed
of the Sogno fiord could become dry
tourists could In many places look upon
almost perpendicular rocks from 8.000 to
10,000 feet above their heads. Few valleys
open upon the Songe , but tremendous
chasms nro constantly appearing. The
peasantry here huddle in almost inacces
sible places , long distances apart , nud
move to and fro between their liny hamlets
in boats built with ratio sleeping accommo
dations. At vari6us places you will sec bits
of shelving rock , to which their boats are
tied at night. Near thcso uro tiny caves or
rock fissures used as huts and ns kitchens
In tlicso trips of overnight duration. v
Tlio scenery grows more grand nnd im
posing us you proceed up the fiord , reachir.ir
perhaps itsj/most somber sublimity in the
Niuro fiord , ono of its branches. Another
arm is thu FJacrlands fiord , near which are
the vastest snow caves and Ice fields of Nor
way and the romantic village of lialholmcu ,
scene of Frlthof's Saga , where ,
Itlrch trees cove rod the mountain tops ; on the
Kinmy hill slopes
Ulponed the golden barley , and rye waved
fuller thiin giants1
and from Its extreme eastern branch , tlio
Ardnls fiord , the third great waterfall of
western Norway , the mighty Vottifos is
reached , while through every opening to the
north arc seen the gigantic masses of the
.Tosledals glacier , the largc.it in Europe , and
covering an area of 500 square mllos.
In the amazing multiplicity of those scenes
of beauty and grandeur there is ono that
will remain fadeless in the traveler's mem
ory. It is that ono when in the darkless
night of these northern latitudes us your
steamer creeps alone down there In the al
most blackened nnd nbyssmal silence be
tween these parted mountain walls , you look
through their rifts toward heaven , nnd ,
knowing the night-time hour , are given an
indi'finablo hint. In the splendor of thu Hunt

Story of tlio
Knglnccr Clark makes the followins state
ment : ' 'Three men climbed over the tank
whllo wo were leaving Uardwcll. One of
them said : 'Mr. Clark , pull out ns soon as
you can.1 Grabbing my loft arm and pulling
out a 45-callbcr Colt's revolver and placing
the weapon to my oar ho told mo to
do what they wanted done ; Hint they
would kill mo If I aid not oboy. About that
tlmo Fireman Duller ran away mid sot on
the pilot of the engine. I went to get' down
and put in some coal , but they would not
allow mo to gut off my seat. Ono of the rob
bers did the llrlnjr for us from Bard well to
Fort Jefferson. They tolJ mo to atop the
express car at Maylleld trestle. I told them
1 had passed n train at Bnrdwoll , and 1 In
sisted upon asking them to lot mo put n
llagman oft to protect the roar end of the
train. They refused to do so , but 1 insisted ,
claiming that I was afraid of the freight
train running Into us when wo stopped nt
Mayflold trestle. They made mo got off the
engine and KO In front of them to the express
car door , and they told mo to open the door.
I called McNcol and told him to open up and
not shoot , as i was in front of the rubbers.
Ono of them went into the express car and
came out with several bundles and put them
in to a heavy sack.
Very Cool About It.
"Ho told mo to pick up the dynamite on
the platform of the car , which 1 did , and
put It into the sack. They then had mo got
on the cngina and carry them to Fort Jeffer
son , becauao they wanted to got off at the
steve factory. They got olT on the east side ,
about twenty yards from the road crossing
at Fort Jefferson. They cot behind some
piling and told mo to pull out fast. I asked
them if they were golncr to bother the pas
sengers. They told me no. The robbers
carried double-barreled shot guns , with pis-
pistol grips. Two of them also had ten-Inch
Colt revolvers , whllo the other had a live-
inch Colt. "
Opinions differ ns to the amount of money
contained In the valuable package secured.
The express ofllcials sny the consignment
consisted of $7,000 , but this Mr , Unrrahan is
inclined to doubt. The only man who knows
exactly what was in the packago.is the Hit-
