TEAM HAS BROUGHT CREDIT TO ITSELF III Achievement * on Dm field of n Clmrnc- ter Unit tlir aicmnera Mny Well 1'rcl 1'ruuil Of I'repnrlnif for limn' * CD till n R. In t'neso days Thanksgiving day Is not complete without Its foot ball game. Where the family reunion around the turkey and foot ball conflict , the latter generally pre vails. In Omaha for the pail three or four years we have had a foot ball game upon this day , and now It Is a permanent fixture , being the day chosen for the annual championship game between Nebraska and Iowa. Three years ago Iowa won , 22 to 0 ; two years ago the game resulted In a tie , and last year Ne braska carried off the much coveted palm by the close score of 20 to 18. This year w.ll Ibo tlio deciding game , and Judging from the 'records ' of the respective teams Omaha people will have an opportunity of wltncislng a contest worthy the watching. The four great western state universities have Joined themselves Into a league and every year they contend for a $200 pennant. Two years ago Kansas won the pennant ; last year MUsourl and Kansas were tied for first place , and at the present t.me this year Mis souri Is In the lead , with Nebraska and Iowa tied for second place and Kansas last , but everything depends upon the Thanksgiving day games , and Iowa or Nebraska may yet win , and they are going to play their cards to the last. Kansas and Missouri play at Kansas City and many of the knowing ones predict that Kansas will win , although ehe has been de feated by both Iowa and Nebraska. If Kan- gas does win there will be a tie , and the team which has the smallest number of points scored against It will carry off ths pennant , and the Indications are strongly In favor of Nebraska. It ts probably true that at the present jvrlt- Ing Nebraska has the strongest team west of the Mississippi river , although she has suf fered two defeats , once at the hands of Doane by a score of 12 to 0 , and ones to Mi-sour ! In a fierce and exciting contest , the first cham pionship game ; score , IS to 14. Nebraska i got the worst of the deal In this game and ehe played In hard luck , be.ng unable to kick goals. These defeats were not unex pected and they occurred early In the season , and are duo to the fact that Nebraska delayed - layed In netting a coach. To offset these de feats are four very creditable victories , upon which Nebraska might Justly claim suprem acy over all other western colleges. Ne braska administered to Iowa college at Grin- pell the worst drubbing she ever got , and Is the only team that cve-r shut her out without a point ; score. 22 to 0. The 'varsity next beat the Y. M. C. A. of Omaha , 34 to G , In a loosely played game , rellcctlng very little credit upon Nebraska , but her team was com posed large-ly of substitutes , In order to de velop new material. Krom this date Ne braska took a stiff brace , did away with some of her men who were playing upon their past records. Since the change they have been improving steadily and ore well High Invincible. VICTORIES IN KANSAS. Last Friday the team started on a southern trip to meet two of the hardest teams In the west Kansas university and Ottawa. Kan- ens was walked over and trodden under fool to the tune of J4 to 6 , and proud Ottawa , , composed of seven 6f last year's Baker's vie- I torlous team , with a few well knowiu ath letes from other colleges' , was compelled'tc lower her flag In one of the greatest game : ever seen In the west. Fllppen , Nebraska's half back , by a magnificsnt plunge , -scorei i the only point In the gania and Crawfori I kicked goal , leaving the score C to 0. Ovei thcss glorious victories the students of the university were so elated that they tendered to the victorious eleven a reception rarely ac corded to any prince or potentate. Chancellor Cailficld was the happiest man among them all and in a day he raised $10C to buy the team sweaters and stockings , se that the players might appear resplendent Ir the Thanksgiving day game , when they an battling fcr the honor of their alma mater If these aforesaid scarlet and cream sweater : and stockings are not "hoodoos" we may expect pect Nebraska to play a brilliant and EC ! entitle game. ' Experts say that our western teams conv pare favorably with the very best teams li the east. They excel In point of material but are behind In training and skill. Ilectoi Cowan.

IDNT BLAMES TI1E FIREMEN Tater Works Company Disowns Besponsi- billty for Inadequate Fire Protection. TESTIMONY OF ITS SUPERINTENDENT Mtjr Engineer Suirgestii Hint a Syitcnt 01 Alnlns Jlo Laid Kxclnalvely to Protect the Itiinlncni 1'urtlon of Omtilm from I'lre I.nat Night's Inquiry , The question of flro protection had another nnlng In the council chamber ln.it evening when the special Investigating committee re- umed the examination of Superintendent lunt of the water works company In rela- Ion to the capacity and possibilities of the iresent system. He was first asked to give on exact table ot water mains used In the Ity , which ho did as follows : Ono and one- ialf Inch pipe , IS mites ; two Inch , .07 mile ; hree Inch , 2 $ miles ; four fnch , 0,83 miles ; five Inch , 28 miles ; six Inch , 93.24 mites ; even Inch , .92 mile ; eight Inch , 30.38 miles ; en Inch , 10.22 miles ; twelve Inch , G.9I miles ourleen inch , 4,59 miles ; sixteen Inch , 0.0 ! miles ; eighteen Inch , 1.93 miles ; twenty Inch , .00 miles ; twenty-four Inch , 3.50 miles ; hlrty inch , .23 mile ; thirty-six Inch , 7.CC miles ; forty-eight Inch , .38 mile ; total , 179.8C miles. When asked what. In his opinion , was'the reason why fires had made so much headway n the central part ot the city , ho said he wai lot a fireman and was not qualified tc inswcr. He was certain that It waa througl no lack of pressure , as ai the tlluo of the Fifteenth Street theater fire he had nottcec the gauge in the office in The Dee * building and It did not show a variation of over t > ound and a halt In. pressure during tthe fire ; n relation to that firihe Bald thai' tliA flre men did not use the hydrants nearest thi Ire. As a general proposition the only waj o Increase the present pressure was to bulli new reservoirs at a higher polilT. The pres ent pressure was from eighty ta elghty-Hv < xmnds , and If a pressure of 120 or 130 poundi vas required for effective work , as stated b ) ho chiefs of the fire department. It wouk > e impossible to supply It by direct pressure Such a pressure would burst every fodt ol plumbing In the city. MUST RELY ON ENGINES. It was the general custom In large cltlc : , o rely upon engines for fire protection. At Increase In the size of the mains would makt JIQ difference In the supply of 'water ' at i lydrant. A six Inch pipe < would icdrry man than the hydrant would demand , and an ] ncrease In the size of the main would not In crease the flow of the hydrant.'hen askcc a direct question as to what remedy he couU suggest for the present difficulty the wit ness frankly asserted that he did not knov of any. Mr. Hunt contradicted the statements o : ho fire chiefs that the pressure was bettei n the north part ot the city than In thi south. He asserted that some of the lov districts toward the south- had a bettei pressure than any part of the city. Tin consumption cut but little figure with tin pressure. If every consumer was cut off 1 would not materially Increase the fire pros surc. , The number ot streams used had ni effect on the pressure. Twenty stream ; could be thrown as high as a single one , am there had never been a lire In the city whlcl would have taxed the capacity of a slngl ten Inch pipe. He suggested that the trie tlon resulting from the use of long lines o hose largely reduced the efficiency of th pressure. In regard to the breaking o hydrants at the large fires he said that 1 was due to the carelessness of the firemei who turned them the wrong way. Chris Hartman of the Uoard ot Fire am Police Commlssloners''was called to the stam and asked why1 there was TIO drtvcron _ th water tower at 'thetlmo ot-the\More-Co fire. He .said Jt was. &lmpy ) because * the : were short of men and money. The bean had been seriously Impeded all summer by th lack of funds , and this" was one ot the In stances when It was Indicated. REFLECTION ON THE CHIEFS. At this point Mr. Montgomery attemptei to score a paint against the chiefs of th fire department. He questioned Mr. Hart man closely in regard to the board's under standing ot the duty of the chiefs as far a remaining In or near the office In the cit ; hall was concerned. He asked If it wa proper for a chief to be at a place of amuse mint when on duty , and the witness replie that It might not be proper In every Instance In reply to a question the witness said tha the Insurance companies were much dlssath fled with the present condition ot affairs an < threatened to Increase their rates materially The fact was that Omaha had always bee classed as a first class city and received first class Insurance rate. During the pas two years It had been demonstrated that I was a third class city , as far as extinguish Ing fires was concerned. Several compa nlcs had refunded the money of their patron In preference to doing business in 1'ila clt > and there were a dozen more1 which wcr contemplating the same step. Unless some better means were provide for extinguishing fires in the large building the business men ot the city would bo with out adequate Insurance. The solid compa nics would pull out and those that remalnc would get three or four rates and' ' the prop erty owners would have to pay them. H had held the Insurance companies In abeyanc as far as an Increase in rates was concerne until the Morse-Cos ; fire had demonstrate beyond a doubt that Uje fire department wa unable to cope wlththe present inadcquat pressure in case of a fire above the thin story. The witness was succeeded by City Engl neer Rosewater , whose examination occuple the remainder of the evening. He- had bee familiar with the plan and operation of th Omaha water works system slnco Its con structlon. It was originally desjgncd to su [ ply about C.OflO.OOO gallons dally , with a hea of about 300 feet. M that time th'e tola area of the city was eight and ono-hal square miles. Tlila had Increased to twenty four and one-half miles , to which must h added the area of South Omaha , which wa now supplied by the same system , Abou six years ago the water works company ha removed Its pumping station to Florenc pud laid out a considerable area of uettlln basins , which were about sixty feet above th level of the river. From these basins th water was pumped Into the reservoir at Wa ! nut HI'l , which regulated the pressur throughout the city. Later the coinpan had subdivided the system Into three d visions. The lower districts of the city wei supplied by gravity pressure from the resei volr. The higher parts of the city wet supplied by engine pressure , whlio the ea trcmo southern district and South Omah were supplied through the station at Twet tleth street and Poppleton avenue , where tli water was taken from the mains and pumpe Into the pipes leading In that direction. MAINS FOR FIUE3 ALONE. When asked to suggest a plan for Inipnn Ing the present system , he said that thei was a good deal of misconception as to win constituted an effective fire stream. Tli tests that had been made had determined tli height lo which tpray could be thrown , bi that did not constitute u fire stream. Whi was a fire pressure when there was but or flvo utory building In Omaha could not t consdered adequate now. With 300 feet ( hose , a one and one-elchth inch nozzle an ninety pounds of pressure , a stream woul barely reach the door f the sixth story < a building. With COO feet of hose an c fectlre stream could barely reach above tl third story. He thus corroborated the stati menu ot the fire chiefs earlier In the Invest gallon. Detailed figures were cited showing tl volume ot water that would be thrown undi various condition * , and Mr. Rosewater cot c uiled that with the water running throuR the. mains at the velocity which was comic ercd most desirable a six Inch main coul only supply one line of two and oie-half Inc hose. With l&O pounds of preisure an ei glno could throw an effective stream throug 300 feet of hose Into the seventh story of building. With 200 pounds pressure undi the tame conditions the engine would thro an effective stream Into the eighth stqry ac discharge 370 gallons per minute. It i hla opinion that the entire pipe system I the city should be changed. The malt loading In one direction should not be lei han twelve Inch' ' i , and these In the other ilrecllon shou\d \ b < ntlll larger. The hydrants hould also bo'JilJ. . xd directly over the mains , Che post hydrar. i were all right In the uburbs , but A ter pressure would bo ob > alncd by putl7igln manholes In the streets and thus placing the hydrants directly over he source of supply. This system was In use In Boston and other largo cities. He Igured that the changes ha. suggested could 10 made at an expense of about $125.000. Ho then took up the plan ot providing n direct and exclusive fire pressure for tha justness portion of the city. In this way i pressure of 150 pounds could bo secured In ho business part of the city , and the ex- lense would be about the same as the other. This pressure would Insure the best results hat could be secured with engines. It no inch plan as this was adopted he would ad- Iso the purchase of additional engines. An adjournment was taken until Monday light. . "When .1 man's single1' ho knows nothing f Rood housekeeping. When he's married 10 knows' all about It his wlfo uses Dr. 'rlco's Daklng Powder.

Harper's Weekly of November 17 will b the Horse-show number , with on illuminate * cover. From time to tlmo there will b Interesting contributions on topics connecte with the present conflict In the east. M. Stephano Mallarme , the French peel suggests that the publishers of books o which the copyright has expired should b compelled to pay a small royalty Into i fund for the benefit ot needy authors. A London weekly perpetrates the followln appalling Joke : "Sir. Kipling Is beglnnln to take a deep Interest in dairying. Ever morning ho milks but that's an 'udde story , ' "as Rudyard himself woull remark.1 The term "In evidence. " which has drive Its roots pretty deep In common usage i declared "monstrous" by astute Anglicans who say It is unlike the French en evldenc and a legal term meaning "as witness" am "confirmator of , " which Is undoubtedly true John Kendrlck Bangs' quaint humor Is t enliven the pages of The Ladles' Homo Jour nal with a series of twelve articles deplctlni the club talk of four men about women' affairs. Mr. Bangs calls this club "Th Paradise club , " "paradise , " he says , "be cause no woman nor serpent ever enterei Into It. " Mr , Perclval Lowell , who has contribute' ' not a little to our knowledge of Japan Ii his "Noto" and "Tha Soul of the Far East' ' will soon publish through Houghton , Mlfflli & Co. "Occult Japan : The Way of th Gods , " a book on the Shinto faith , and em bodying the results ot study and persono observation. Harper's Bazar will devote a great deal c space this month to winter wraps , receptlo : toilettes , and furs.

" THEY DID NOT TALK MARKETS Pleasant Little Eounion of Omaha Oommla- uion Merchants Last Night. JOLLY TIME OUTS'DE OF BUSINESS HOURS Ttior Devoted tlio livening to n llanquet and the Mnnufnctufa of tonnldcrnble run How They ot Along as Makers of Speeches * A few days ago the fruit and produce commission merchants of the city received : ho following : "Tho fruit and produce commission mer chants will 'take tea * Friday evening , Novem ber 23 , . at the Commercial club rooms at 3 o'clock. No association Is to bo organized . Mo subscription Is to be taken up. No 'o.-mallty will be pardoned. No absentees will bo forgiven. " White thcso Invitations were not In the least prctcntlons and were written on a plain letterhead , they had the desired effect. Shortly before the appointed hour last even ing the wholesale fruit and produce dealers of the city commenced to arrive , and soon there was /air-sized crowd assembled In the parlors ot the Commercial club. 1. C. Jordan started the flow of mirth by walking up the five nights of stairs , only to Ind the gate locked , nnd was then compelled lo walk back again and come up by the ele vator route. For once In their lives the com mission men appeared to forget all about tutted markets and ; disappointed shippers and ( Ime passed rapidly until the doors of the Banquet room were thrown open. At the Invitation of Mr. Branch , who acted at , toast master , the members of the trade were not long In seating themselves at the tables. Among those present were : E. B. Branch , Hobert Purvis , M. II. Howes , R. C. Jordan , Jake' Williams , Julius Peycke , A. C. Hlddell , n. M. Cross , E. J. H. Wohlers , C. H. Mutlln. W. E. Rlddell , W. H. Mazzard. N. II. Nelson , W. W. Blngham. Bert Whitney , J. Jt. Snyder , J. A. Clark. II. F. Kellog , Ed Lytle and J. E. Cbastalu. With a few exceptions the entire whole sale fruit and produce business of Omaha was represented at this , the first social gath ering of that branch of trade ever held In the city. It would be no easy matter to find a more Jolly crowd of business men In the city of Omaha and the commission men evidently believe that laughter begets good digestion. Hobert Purvis , whoso appetite was evidently poor , did good service In bringing out the humorous side of every question brought up. With the passing of the cigars Mr. Branch announced that no formality would bo tolerated erated ; that ! it wan a gathering for the pur pose of discussing matters of Interest to the trade , but that no resolutions would be en tertained or collection solicited. "Several gentlemen will be called up , " said the speaker , "to respond In the breezy style characteristic of Omaha and Council Bluffs commission men. I believe that there Is tou little real acquaintance among the gentlemen engaged in our line of business , and that n little exchange of Ideas will do us all good. " HOW THEY ANSWERED. Julius Peycke was called upon to give his Ideas on the "Mental Disposition of Com mission Men , " and remarked that It and been some tlmo since ho had seen so many jolly faces together at one time. Wherever he had gone he had found commission men to be a very jolly set of people nnd ho did nol believe that there was any other line ol business that could show a better natured class of men. "Very few people really know the kind of life wo lead , " continued the speaker , "They see us at our places of busi ness , Surrounded by tropical fruits and a crowd of customers descended from the old Romans , and thty envy us. When we take Into consideration the trials of the commis sion men's life It Is really strange that they should be so good ) natured. A commission man always has a smile on his face exoepl when the market goes down too suddenly. " Mr. Purvis was called upon and remarked ; "You speak of the trials of the commission men , but think of the troubles of the pool shipper. " H. C. Jordan said that he had never at tempted to make a speech , but compromised the matter by rendering a comic poem Ir dialect , which caused no little amusement. A. C. Davenport , of The Bee , was called upon to discuss the subject of market quota tions , and pointed out the Importance to the commission business ot full and complete market reports. Jake Williams was Introduced as ono o the good things that had come out of Councl Bluffs. The subject assigned-to him wa ! "Kicking. " The gentleman said that whlh It had been agitated since the commencemen of business the question had never beer settled as to which one was always to blame the kicker or the klckee. The speaker wa ! Inclined to look upon the pleasant side o : the question and drew much consolatlor from the fact that other lines of business had to contend with kickers even tcc greater degree than commission men. Aftei having tried his hand at operating a World's .Fair hotel he was quite contented to settle down to the commission business. Mr. Ilazzard gave an interesting account ol his experience In business , dating back tc 186S , and by special request told the story ol being ordered out of Little Rock , Ark. , be cause he was supposed to be a sympathizer with the negro. The balance of the evening was whllcd away with the recital of personal experiences , Interspersed with amusing stories and anec ' dotes. Vnlley llrovltlci. VALLEY , Neb. , Nov. 23.

Ho told the tin to and gnvo the name of the justice who performed the ccreiflony of R marriage that has never taken , place.

The collector sold that he had been chasing the raid philosophical debtor for about six months nnd was getting tired. It was al ways "come around tomorrow , " or "haven't got It now. " "Say , " he said , when ho mndo his last trip , "are you over going to pay this bill ? " "Why , yes , some day , " the philosopher re plied. "Uut look here , young man , 1 wnnt to show you a thing or two. How many bills have you got In that pack ? " "About forty , " said the collector. "How long doca It take you to visit all these people ? " the philosopher Inquired. "About a dai- . " "What If nil paid up promptly ? " "Why , that would bo great. " "Would It ? What would you bo doing for a living If all these debtors paid up In ono day ? " The collector looked blank for a moment. "Great Jerusalem 1 I'd be out of a Job. " "Well , then , don't be so anxious to col lect every cent due your people. Ono bill a day Is enough. As for mo , cojno around some time next week , and I may do some thing for you , " and the philosopher faded away. < Jimllllcitl ; of \ liters In Cuimil.i.
