The rooms of the house were tastefully

to make the rooms attractive to both pupils

livery branch of. the, work Is receiving Its
hare of attention and has pupils greatly
In excess of la.t .yesr'pr any previous year.
Both the reading room and the game room
are open aoh averting and will continue so
throughout the. winter,- The Young Men's
Christian association of the university will
furnish a teacher each evening for the
game room from among Its members and
the Toung Womas lJirlntlan association

teacher from among. Is .member. Boon
there will be started class In cooking and
class of boy In carpenter work. The
latter class will be taught by an Instructor
from the university. Before this class Is
tarted, however, It will be necessary for
the settlement management to raise somo
more funds In order to better equip the
room In the basement which has been set
apart for this purposa,.' !t I not doubted
that this will be an easy matter, because so
far the success of the management has been
beyond all expectations . An Instructress
for the cooking sc.'ioor. has already been
engaged and her work will begin in very
few days. .

This Is the second year of the settlement
In Ita new home and the Interest being
taken In the work as shown by the Interest
at the opening and rlr.ee leads the. manage
ment to believe' that Jt will bo the most
successful year of Its existence. When the
management first elected to build on the
A present site there Was some objection be
k cause It was beloved by eome that the loca
' tlon was not fitted for . euch work. Even
with Its one year there this belief has
proven-to have . been groundless. C. B.
Prevey, who Is at the head of the work,
aid: "Everything points to most suc
cessful year with us. When we first came
here of course tha people of the neighbor
hood did not understand' what It all meant
and the Impression 'tlyiV our was merely
a school for poor young-' people who could
; not afford to attend other schools worked
gainst us to a great extent. This prejudice
, la not here now. The people understand
' thoroughly what we are doing and. we are
consequently receiving much help and en-(-couragement
and many nave -pupil. Our

Several prominent Kpeakers will address

After Rockefeller Gift. -
The work of getting together that 133,333.33
In order for the university to be In a
position to ask Mr. Rockefeller for the
'lB,6ki.n which he so generously promised,
has begun In earnept and the Individual do
nations are not sufficiently large to create
Comment. The first real active canvassing
was done among the business men of Lin
coln Ufct wettk ,and iq one day between
m and .Two wu sectored. This, however,
came front a large number of people, the
Individual donations being smaller than was
expected. It In said that 110,000 has al
ready been pledged, with practically no
soliciting having been done. This came
from close friends of tha Institution and
the alumni.
After the work has been thoroughly
tarted In Lincoln an organised effort will
be started out In the-state. The money
has to be raised by the first of next Janu
ary and the committee, realises that it will
take some work to get It. If sufficient
money Is raised to secure the Rockefeller
gift It will be used to erect a religious and
octal building, something badly needed at
the university. Secretary Wyer of the
committee said lie felt sure the needed
Bum would be raised fn plenty of time.

PLATTSMOUTII. Neb., Oct. ll.-Spe-clal.)
Away back In the 70 and up Into
the 80s an old fellow by the name of Davis
made his home in the woods on the east
side of the river about midway between
Qmaha and Plattsmouth, living In nothing
more than a common canvas tent the year
around In company with several large and
savage dogs. Little waa ever known of
him except rumors to the effect that at
one time he was a pirate on the high seas
or a train robber, who having eluded the
grasp of the law had settled down to enjoy
his lllgotten gains. Several times when
visited by hunting and fishing parties he
became quite talkative and showed many
watches and rings of curious design and
workmanship, of both gold and silver,
which more than ever led to the belief
that he was a freebooter.
Borne years later he disappeared, leaving
no trace of himself or whereabouts, and
many who knew him have no doubt for
gotten of his ever having existed. But
now to awaken the memories of years gone
by, comes the report that a party of bee
hunter In chopping down a tree of mam
moth proportions in the thickest part of
tne timber where he was located discovered
what Is supposed to have been his strong
box for his treasures, the tree trunk about
four feet from the ground having 'been
carefully cleaned out and lined with sheet
iron, making a tmost acceptable place for
his wealth and one not easily discovered.
The opening or door to the hiding place
was skillfully concealed and worked like
a sliding panel and would neve; have been
discovered only as it was, by -accident.
Nothing now remains of It except the hole
In the tree and the battered sheetlron, tho
excited searchers for wealth having
chopped the place to pieces. Nothing was
found except several pieces of paper which
at one time formed a chart of some kind,
but which are too decayed by ago to be
deciphered.

YOKOHAMA, Oct. ll.-Baron von Rosen,
the Russian minister to Japan. Is still
awaiting Instructions from his government
In the matter of negotiations now pro
ceeding between Jspan and Russia.
A Russian regiment from the Baikal)
military district I reported to have arrived
at Feng-Chenn-Tlng. about 150 mile north
west of Peking, and ninety mile from the
Russian frontier. M. Leasar, Russian min
ister to China, has, announced that the
Manchurlan ' convention ha lapsed. .
The Manchurlan convention between Rus
sia and China was signed April 8, 1902. and
according to It. . the evacuation of the
three Manchurlan provinces were to be car
ried out In three consecutive periods of six
months from the signing of the convention.
A note from M. Leasar. vai appended to
the convention declaring that "If the Chi
nese government,, notwithstanding the as
surances given It, violate any provision of
the convention, the Russian government
will not hold itself bound either by the
terms of the Manchurlan agreement or
by the declarations . previously made In
connection with the matter and will be com
pelled to repudiate any responsibility and
consequences that might arise therefrom."
China was to be permitted to maintain
whatever force she thought necessary In
Manchuria after the 'evacuation. Russia
also agreed that if TienVTsIn was restored
to the Chinese withlm the . first six months
to evacuate New Chwang at the time this
restbration waa made.'; The allies turned
over Tien Tsln to the Chinese August 15
of last year. The convention was to have
been ratified within-thwe months, but this
was not done. ,
Last month, M. Lessar, in his note to
the Chinese- foreign board, promised to be
glil the evacuation of. Manchuria October
8, provided China accepted several condi
Hons which -China refused to do, under
pressure principally frpm Japan and Great
Britain. . . . i''.,- . -.
As It Looks to .German Eyes.
BKRLIN, Oct. 11. Russia and Japan act
as though either would fight if the other
should hold immovably to the position
taken up In the last exchange of communi
cations. This is the. actual situation as
understood officially from reports received
from the German embassy In St. Peters
burg and the German legation at Toklo.
Yet this mutual attitude with hostile, prep
arations by both countries is still regarded
hero as not excluding an honorable ar
rangement. Neither government has gone
so far that It must fight or be humiliated,
but cither cabinet by a single step can
put the other in that position. This deli
cate balance may, -'of course, be violently
disturbed any day, , though no .ultimatum
has yet been thrown on, either scale.
It Is . believed . here officially that war,
should It occur, wpvid be between Russia
and Japan alone, .. and that neither
England nor Franca, would be Involved.

In the history of the surfmen on the Vir

Capps, wliile two miles from any other
human being, and patrolling his stretch
between the stations, saw one negro over
10 yards off hore In the roaring surf.
Without a moment' conxlderaiion of the
peril he was facing he stripped and plunged
Into the sea that was alresdy a seething
mass of wreckage from the barges and
after a half-hour battle, single-handed and
slona, brought the unconscious man ashore.
He hud not recovered his breath before he
discovered through a rift, another form and
once more he went Into the surf. Thl
time his struggle was a harder one, but
he eventually succeeded lu saving the
negro. Placing'both men under the lee of
a cliff, he started back to the station to
give the alarm when he saw the third
negro in the wave and for a third time
plunged In and brought an unconscious
man ashore. Capps did not cease his work

Conditions at Mow York.
NEW YORK. Oct. 11. With their repair
crew working to their limit and their de
pot crowded with stormbound pasaengers,
the railroads running out of the city to
the New Jersey suburban districts and the
west and south, struggled slowly all day
to get back to normal conditions.
The roads most affected by the storm, the
Erie and the Lackawanna, were still badly
tied up on their main line. On their va
rious branches it will take day to re
pair the damage.
The damage to the Erie waa the most
widespread In Its main line today and today
trains got as far as Passaic. On several
of the branches there was little or no traf

terruption past Spring Valley.
The Lackawanna put up notice which
read: "All ticket to Washington and west
old at passengers' risk."

of service between Paterson and Boonton.

most of tna huntress houses on Delaware
avenue In the flooded district Were filled

was a two-story frame structure from

rounded by water and its occupant! sought
refuge in the upper story. Without any
warning It broke from its foundation and
before the five person could escape was
carried Into the Delaware river and down

Invitation of Omaha cltlxens In general
to build Into this city.
In deciding thla case Judges Bixter and
Dickinson concluded that the Great West
ern Is a domestic corporation and is entitle 1
to do business In Nebrask.i. They held It
was not necessary that the city should ap
point appraisers In assessing damagas for
vacating the streets In question, but that
it was optional with the city to do so: that
the use of the street in this Instance would
bo for public purposes and that the com
plainants have ample, remedy at law, aniV
that the Injunction would not be-granted.
This Is, they held, conditioned on the prop
osition that the city attorney agrees that
the proposed ordinance be amended so a
not to provide for the exclusive use of tha
streets by the defendant railroad and to
limit the vacation of the street lo the
north side of Masjn street. This proposi
tion was agreed ' to by City Attorney
Wright.
