ITS RECORD IS AN EXCELLENT ONE SO FAR llancllcnpie | < ! In MoU of the ( ] nme rtnjretl , the Ilojt * llttve Worked Ilnrd nnd Made the Other Tellcm * lluitlo All the Although the Council Bluffs High school foot ball tram has not made the record this year Its friends wished , when all things are taken Into consideration , It has done fairly well. This year's eleven may be a little behind ' 93's aggregation in team work , but In Individual players It Is much ahead. The boys seem to have played In absolute hard luck during the season , and the DlulTites , of course , remember that In sizing up the eleven. Individual players , ot course , how ever , strong , cannot make as strong a team as can those who , while Inferior , have the ad vantage of thorough discipline. In the last game with Crelghton , though , a marked Im provement was noted , and the game was won solely by superior team work. The first real games of the season was with a picked eleven ot the substitute ] and of the second team of the High school. A number of experiments were tried In placing the men , nnd the regulars consequently could score no more than 18 to the scrubs 0. On the succeeding Saturday the Omaha High school team won a very handy game from the locals , 30 to 0. The boys' hard luck seemed to commence with this game. During the first half they were troubled with a bad attack of buck fever , and dldn t recover until the Omaha .men had rolled up enough points to handicap any team In the country. In the second half the locals held their antagonists very nicely , and the game was much cloier A week later eleven of the young lawyers of town undertook to give the High school team a little exercise In twehty-flvo minute halves , and most admirably succeeded. The attorneys , who had a number cf college men In their ranks , won by a score of 4 to 0. This naturally disgusted the High school element , as the year before the lawyers had been beaten G to 0. A week later the two teams met again. The High school team was a little stronger and the picked eleven a little weaker , and the result was a tic , as neither side scored. Crelghton college next Jostled elbows with the locals , and the game with this team was the prettiest seen on the home grounds. A year before the teams had struggled for ninety long minutes without scoring , and this game was really a continuation of the other. The first half ended with a clean score , the locals missing It by relying entirely on end runs. Once Crelghton had the ball w thin half a yard of Council Bluffs' goal line , and then lost Its only opportunity to score. The locals made a fine rally , took the ball away from the visitors on downs , rushed It through the center for five , then ten yards , and a pretty end run took the ball back to the cen ter of the field. In the second half the home team made a touchdown and goal by ham mering the i'ne and by the criss-cross. Score G to 0. A couple of weeks ago the boys wandered down to Nebraska City , and were nicely taken In to the tune of 22 to 6. The team was demoralized by the absence of some ol the regular players and the Inabll.ty of the captain to play. In addition , they claim they were not treated fairly by the crowd , which obstructed their plays , and by the umpire and referee from Nebraska City. Saturday the Crelghton team was defeated on the Omaha Y. M. C. A. grounds by 6 tc 4. The vlctoiy was wori solely by the team work of the locals , as their opponents aver aged at least fifteen pounds the heavier. Council Bluffs has a heavy center In Ulanchard , Zinc and Altchlson , weighing 167 185 and 176 , respectively. Otherwise tin line Is very light , averaging only 150. The backs average 135 , and the team 155. There Isn't much to Captain Ben Sawyer the full back , but what there Is of him I : cle.fr grit. Sawyer Is bothered with a con stitutionally game knee , which oven Phil King's old bandage can't always help II wan this knee that kept him from playlnc at Nebraska City , and It is still bothering him. He Is a good and daring ; tackle , a tali runner , and , notwithstanding his grand stand hair , plays In close sympathy with the rcsl of the team. Oscar Dyar , left half back , Is also a verj light man , but Is quick , a good runner , and jsuro on a tackle. He Is quick as a cat , unc once In a whllo lets his quickness lead h In to outrun his Interference. Mather , the right half back , has shown ui well this season for hard , conscientious play and has made a good reputation. He Is an other light man. Oleason , at quarter. Is sure on recolvlni and passing the ball , but Is too light to bi of much assistance to the men In the line , o In Interference. He has shown much 1m provemcnt In the season. Aylesworth. at left end , Is the best postei man on the game In the elevon. He was no able to play In the earlier games of th season , and his absence weakened the lean very much. The man who safely geta arouni Ayleswflrth's end must be a good runner am have good Interference. Knox , at left tackle , has done fairly wel so far , especially In team work , but he hasn' had the opportunity to distinguish hlnisel by any especially brilliant plays. What h can do remains to bo seen. Altchlson , left guard and center , did no play In the Omaha and Nebraska City game. ! Ho has plenty of weight and some -IIUI experience to show him how to apply It 01 a line. Blanchard , at center. Is a good man In i place where there Is little chance for ostonta tlous play. He passes the ball well , thougl hardly In the most approved style. However that Is rather the fault of the coachers , am 1191 Blanchard. Zinc , at right guard , the giant of the team has scarcely learned how to handle hi weight yet , but a little time and experlenc will make him a valuable man. Morehouso , right tackle and end , has playe < a conscientious game this year , material ! aiding In Interference and In blocking. Whistler , right tackle , Is a new man , an has so far shown up well , In spile of hi Inexperience. The substitutes are Important parts of team , and Tlnlcy , Deetken , "Big" Sawyei Pontius , Askln.

A WORK OF ART. llcauty nnd Trrnmirca of th lnton Public I.lbrnry llullillnc. The recently completed public library building of Boston is considered the most artistic and beat arranged structure on the continent. It was begun In 1SS8 and cost (2,500,000. The architects have sought to make the structure , so far as possible , repre sentative of the contributions by Massa chusetts and Boston to the total of American achievement In art and science , The new building stands In Copley square , and will be ono of several ot the features ot the town In that neighborhood. Near at hand Is Trinity church , ot which Richardson was the architect , one ot the handsomest edifices In the United States. The art museum and the Massachusetts School of Technology are not far away. Further along to the east are the public gardens , the famous Common and the retail business cen ter of Boston. Standing In the broad plaza formed by Copley square , the library forms nn Impressive picture. It was modeled a Ur a Venetian palace , although on the prac tical side the library of St. Genevlevo at Paris was drawn on for suggestion. If It were not that the site Is so fortunate the building might seem low at first glance. The three facades rest upon a broJd platform of granite. One of the most Interesting features of the whole structure Is the frieze of carved names of the world's great writers scientists , painters , sculptors and composers carved on the panels that occupy the lower parts ot the window arches. Beneath this cornice are medallions vcpresentlng some of the most famous book seals ot the world. At the entrance the seals of the library , of the state and ot the cltj are reproduced In low relief , the work of St. Gaudens. The head of Minerva forma the keystone of the central of the three arches of the portal. Thus the outside is made to bear testimony to the treasures within. Inside the Iron gates that guard the portal Is an open vestibule leading to the main entrance hall. Here are the names , cut In the moslac celling , ot distinguished Bostonlans. The great' reading room and the delivery room tor books are on the mainer or second floor. Five great panels In the staircase hall are to bo decorated by Puvls de Chevannes , the greatest of living mural painters. All the other decorations and sculpture will be by Americans. It has been the purpose of the trustees to have contributions trom all the great American artists , sculptors and painters. Macmonnles , Daniel French , E. A. Abbey , La Forge , Millet'and John S. Sargent have already contributed. In the basement is a reading room for periodicals and a newspaper reading room. All the periodicals worth having , Including newspapers from all parts of the United States and leading foreign journals , are to be found here. , The greatest glory of this structure Is , however , the cloistered court. The building as tt appears from the street Is , In fact , only a shell Inclosing a generous expanse of green , In the center of which a marble fountain , designed by Macmonnles , plays. It Is dim- cult to Imagine any pleasure greater than that of reading In this marble arcade , within sound of the. fountain , where the noises of the city only faintly Intrude. All the corridors In the building are adapted to decoration , and those for which no provision has yet been made will receive attention In due time. This library not only contains the books purchased through many years , but als'o many private libraries which have been bequeathed to the city from time to time , Many of these are of rare value. They In clude the TIcknor library of Spanish liter ature , Gilbert's collection df plays , the Chamberlain collection of manuscripts , the Browne library of music , and the President John Adams library ot constitutional his tory. The Browne collection Is the finest musical library In the country. The whole library comprises 600,000 volumes. A Flrrft-ClHSd , Itoipectablc , Comfortable Homo In Now York.

Two drummers had scraped an acqualntanci In a train , says the New York Herald. Botl had told stories of experiences , when oni asked : "Did you ever attend your own fu neral ? " "Why , no , " replied the other. "Well , I have. It happened this way. was In Buffalo three years ago , and tele graphed my firm In Connecticut that I wouli take a certain train for home that night Luckily for me I changed my plans at tin last moment and did not leave , some buslnes having cropped up that would require in ] presence there for a few more days , and telegraphed my firm accordingly. That trail was smashed up In a collision , and a larg number of persons were killed. "I arrived at my home four days later , jus as a funeral procession was leav Ing. It. For a moment I wa lee astonished to move , but Hnally mus tered up sufficient courage to ask a bystande whose funeral It was. What was my amaze ment to learn that It was my own. Accord Ing to my Informant , I had been brough home two days previously , crushed and un recognizable , out of the wreck on the Gram Central. "The funeral cortege had got some dls lance away betore I had recovered sufficient ! ; to procure a conveyance to go In pursuit Not wishing to create a scene in the street I determined to wait until the church wa ; reached. I therefore fell Into line , and jolnei my own funeral procession. "Arrived at the church the cofiln was llftei out and carried up the aisle , and the burla service was just about to begin when stepped to the chancel. My nppearanc created an Instant panic , everybody tumbllni over themselves to get out of the edifice I was left alone with the olllciutlng clergy man. "In a few moments , however , my friend and relations began to come back Into th church. I called to them , and told then that far from being1 dead , I was never mor alive. Then explanations ensued , It appears that my second telegram had never been re celved , and believing me to be In the wreck they had picked out the most likely look In corpse as mine.

S3UNDED LIKA RUNNING BATTLE L'riaoner Is Itiul Cliirlt. lo Whom the 1'ollcu Glvo u Hard hutno I1U .Mother nnd llrutlicr Also Lochuil Up Utlior Mu lc City News. Chief Brennan and Officers Mulcahey and Riches had a lively chase for a prlsorer yesterday afternoon about 4:30 : o'clock. They succeeded In locking up three members of the Clark family , who live in the southern part of the Third ward. Bud Clarke Is known as a bad man In sev eral communities. Five months ago he was arrested In Lincoln on the chartre of horse stealing , but broke jail and the police have been looking for him ever since. Bud is a a handy man with a revolver , and If it had not been for the fact that ho had a poor ono that would not work yesterday Chief Brennan might have been a corpse today. Ho Is a man about 23 years ot ago. He Is built stoutly and has but one good eye. Chief Brennan got wlr.d a few days ago that Bud was working South Omaha and ho set out to catch him. Brennan , Riches and Mulcahey went over In the Third ward yesterday afternoon. Brennan started directly for Mrs. Clark's house. But Riches and Mulcahey drove to about Fortieth and Q streets. They ran across Bud at about Thlrtj-nlnth ; street When he saw the police he started on a run across the country. Riches was driving and Mulcahy jumped out of the buggy and fired five shots , yelling aa he fired for the man to halt. Bud paid no more attention to the flying bullets than If they had been snow- flakes. Riches whipped up the horse ar.d getting within range began another fusllade. John was not shootlne to scare , but none cf the cold lead took effect and Bud kept on runnlnc. In the meantime Chief Brennan , hearing the reports of the revolvers , ran toward the scene , and he also opened fire. Bud held a revolver In his right Hand , but It refused to explode , and when Chief Brennan was very clare and demanded hltn to halt he even ran faster than ever. The excitement was great. All the people living In the locality turned out and watched the sport. After firing three shots Chief Brennan , who , by the way , Is a pretty good sprinter , took after Clark and coon ran him down. As soon as he placed his hand on his shoulder Clark dropped to the ground and let loose of his revolver. He was taken to the police station and placed In u cell. The officers then went to the .home of Mrs Clark and placed her and another son under arrest and locked them xipi Mrs. Clark Is charged with Interfering with an officer while discharging his duties , and the other son , Frank , U charged with bolng a suspicious character. Shortly after Jiud broke jail Chief Brennan heard he was at the home of hln mother In tills city. .Tor > fear they would not lot him In , Chief Drpnnan secured a search warrant. When ho went to the house Mrs. Clark refused to admit him. Ho finally got In , and when ho did Mrs. Clark abused him and Interfered with. Imp. Five weeks ago Mr , .ICyle of this city and Mr. McKern ot Kansas' were held up by two masked men on West'Q meet. The high waymen took two watches and $85 In cash. In the ECU III e which took place the mask was torn ' 'rom one of the thieves , and Chief Brennan says that ho suspects that Bud Clark was the man who got the watcltvs and money. The highwaymen were on horseback at the time. They hitched their horses and went about their work In a cool and d liberate manner. Bud Clark was Interviewed by a reporter for The Bee In his cell. He said the re volver he carried waa "no good. " He denied that he made the remank : "If my gun had worked all right there would have been no Chief Brennan tonight , " Other prisoners In the jail claim they hearJ him mike such a statement. "When I escaped Jail at Lin coln. " gald Clark , "the Jailer left the door standing open , and I would have been a chump If I had not taken advantage of the opportunity. I have b en In Lincoln for the last two weeks , but I kept shady trom the police " Bud's father U living In Lincoln , but nil mother remains hero , Judge ChrUtmann gave It out that no amount of ball would bo accepted for the release of these people until their cs2s are thoroughly investigated. * Ity < io-slp. A fresh case of diphtheria Is reported at 2117 R street. Thomas Kirk is In Jail charged with dis turbing the peace and fighting. Jerry Scanlon asked the police last night to take him to the county hospital. He Is se riously ill. A flro started In the basement of Burnett Bros. ' general store yesterday morning from an old oil stove. The flames wer ? smothered after about $25 damage had been done. There Is an Immense stock of goods In this b1'1' ' ' .Int ; , and the rooms on the top floor are Decupled by families. Conssquently the scare was great while the flremeu were at work. Charles Ivcs , ll\lng at 1717 Chicago street , Omaha , was thrown from a buggy at the east end of the Q sliest vialict : abojt 9 o'c'.ook last night and Injured. The hon > e turned tharply. and overturned the buggy. Mr. Ivcs was taken to the police station and given medical attention. One eye was badly cut and his face was skinned and bruised In several places. _ WISE OLD BBIGHAW YOUNG. Mormon Farmers Who ro lo'.l ulng Ills Advlru mill Are I'ruHpiirmis. Wherever the Mormons live you will find small , well-tilled farms. Brlgham Young was one of the wUcst as well as ono of the greatest men ot this century. No one can visit Utah Intelligently without ob serving proofs of his great wisdom and far sightedness , which was lapped over into Idaho and Colorado , wiltes a correspondent of the Chicago Record. He preached the gospel of Irrigation , Email farms and diver sified farming as the most profitable , and people have long realized the value of bs ! words. The day of bonanra farming Is closing. The people of the northwest have discovered to their sorrow the folly of carryIng - Ing all their eggs In one basket. The great bonanza farmer with 10.000 acres in wheat is the ancient mariner of agriculture. Wheat at 20 cents a bushel , with flour at $2.40 a barrel , Is worthless to him. even when It harvests thirty bushels to the acre. It costs more than that to raise It. The man who Is making the most money by farming In this part of the country Is the Mormon , who follows the advice of the prophet , Brlgham , and has only forty or fifty acres under the plough. This he culti vates like a garden , usually with no other help than his own family can furnish. He Isn't dependent upon the failure of the wheat crop In India for good prices , nor dors he complain of the railway company for robbing him of his profits by freight charges. He has a prompt and profitable market In sight of his ovui door for anything he can raise. If he has forty acres under cultivation he devotes five or perhaps ten acres to an orchard of apples , pears , peaches , plums , prunes , apricots , cherries and other fruits ; two acres to straw beirles , raspberries , black berries and currants , which bring enormous prices in the mining camps , two acres to n vegetable garden beans , peas , beets , cauliflower , celery , asparagus , lettuce and other staples , for which there Id always a demand ; five acres to potatoes , of which this country seems never to have enough ; ten acres to alfalfa , the never-falling Spanish clover , which gives three crops a year , and when properly baled or stacked nlll retain Its nourishment for five years ; flve acres to oats , wlilch Invariably bring big prices In the spring , particularly In the mining camps and the cities where many horses are used , and flve acres to wheat and corn , which can be sent to the mill and ex changed for flour and meal It prices will not pay for shipping. The real of the farm , or aa much as he leaves off his orchard , Is re quired as a winter pasture for his hoga , cows , horse * and poultry. No matter what sort of a year It may be , the Mormon farmer who follows thl * system , and the moat ot them do , always produces at h s own place every form ot food that his family requires and a sufllclent surplus from his several crops to take advantage ot any unusual demand In the market. If alfalfa Is high he sells his crops and feeds his hones and cattle wheat , oats and corn , or vlco versa. As fait as he clean the vegetables out of his garden or digs his potatoes he plants turnips , which are the best of fodder. He makes hli own butter , raises his own hami and bacon , and the women folki keep large poultry yards and beehives , which furnish eggs , tprlng chickens and honey enough to pay tor all the dry goods and household articles they need. due Ifoail to lli | > plm M.

At ono of the Louisville theaters the other evening. lays the Courier-Journal , a dapper , well dressed young man was seated with a couple of society girls In a front seat In the parquet. As the curtain went down after the second act he was observed to grow rest- leis and lo cast anxious Klancea toward the entrance. Suddenly an ulher came dashing down the aisle , conspicuously waving a note In his hand , which he delivered to the gen > 'leman In Question. The latter opened It , knotted his eyebrows seriously and handed tt to bis lady companions tor Inspection Then , seizing hit hat , he hastened back to the door. When he re-entered the theater & few minutes later , wiping his mustache , with the handkerchief , observant ones among the audience quietly nudged each other and re marked In an undertone : "It was the old scheme , but It worked.
