TRAINING FOR THE IOWA GAME
Booth's C'orahaskora Aasloaa to Wipe
Oat tha Score at Foot
" l Year Ago,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Oct. " 25. - .(Special.) What
about ' Iowa? Tnls Is the problem now
confronting Booth, foot ball ooaoh of Ne
braska, whose pupils so tar this year hav
maintained an uncrossed goal, meanwhile
decisively worsting ail of their opponents.
Nebraska has not clashed with Iowa on
the gridiron for four ytara and there Is a
keen desire within every player on the
Cornhusker team to take tha Hawkeyes
Into camp In the first contest, which marks
a resumption of athletic relutlon by the
two universities. Iowa gave Nebraska a
severe trouncing In their last strugg.e. In
1HK9, after which the H iwkeyes abandoned
the annual Thanksgiving game wiih the
Cornhuskers and invaded the east for
worthier foes. The change had satisfactory
results for a single srajon, during which
the lowans cut an Important figure In the
"big nine" championship race, but th.tr
success was only of short duration, for the
retirement of their star players and the
gradually Increasing strength of their Op
ponents brought Iowa down with a thud.
In th meantime the Cornhusker brought
Booth out west from Princeton and In
stalled him aa coach and each sjccesslve
year has witnensed him marshul a :lll
stronger foot ball eleven. Last season n
placed to nia credit a victory over Minne
sota, the result being one of the grat ur
prlses of the foot ball year, while th Coin
buskers achieved th still further distinc
tion of not permitting an opponent to one
cross th Nebraska goal. The aih lo au
thorities at Nebraska onlvcrlty and stu
dents aa well congratulate thems-ives on
the resumption of relations with Iowa,
and the desirs to win Is augmented bv th
hop that tha victory may be a decisive

DOANE WINS FROM COTNER
Urge Score Made, bnt th Defeated
Team Make a Good
Showing-.
CRETE. Neb., Oct. 2S.-(8peclal.)-In a
snappy, clean game of foot ball Doane
defeated the Cotner university eleven by
a score of 5S to 0 yesterdny afternoon. The
game was more interesting than the score
would Indicate. The Cotner boys, while
clearly outclassed, played a good game
and occasionally plowed through Doane's
line In a way that would have done credit
to a more experienced team. On straight
foot ball they advanced the ball about
forty yards, while the play of the locals
was characterized, as In last week's game
with Hastings, by long end runs and
ground gaining line bucks. Doane was
penalized, three times for offside plays.
Doane scored the first touchdown in less
than two minutes on fierce line plunges
and a twenty-yard end run by Tldball. The
visitors seemed demoralized and other
touchdowns followed In rapid succession,
until at the end of the first half, the score
stood: Doane, 36; Cotner. 0. In the second
half tho Cotner boys played more roollv
and did soma good defensive work. They
were, however. unable to withstand
Doane's fierce line plunges or to stop Its
swift end runs.
For the vlnltnrs, Ellis. Finch and Reeves
did some fine work, while Evans' hurdling
was excellent. . Brownell distinguished hlm
self by making runs of sixty-five and fifty
vards for touchdowns, while Tldball, Day.
Fuhrer. Wendlnnd and Vance all rroved
good ground gainers for the locals. Tldball
missed but two of the ten tries at goal.

A CONSTRUCTIVE PRESIDENT

Etilrcad World.
PREPARATION fOR HIS UfT WORK
Blast, Oatspokes, Blg-Hearte as
Isapetaoa Career Farmed aa a
, Taorough Knowledge at
Engineering.
Horace O. Burt, president of th Union
Pacific, has undoubteuly spent mora mil
lions In recent railway construction than
any other western ra.lmad president. This
fact alone makea Preelduni Burt a com
manding figure among ihe men who hav
wrought that transformation of the w-at
which has lately been effected la course
of th greatest movemtnt of raluoad recon
struction that the world has aver aeea.
But the personality ol this "construct. on
president" la sufficiently powerful to mak
his achievement appear the natural ex
pression of his lnulviduailty.
The oil of diplomacy was omitted In th
compounding of President Burt's character.
in the words of an old raliroad man,
"There Isn't enough molasses In th whole
makoup of Horace O. Burt to diaw a hun
gry fly." He sometimes alienates by his
straightforward bluntness those toward
whom hi Intention are In every way
friendly.
But this bluff man Is as big-hearted as
he Is blunt and outspoken. He yield to
generous Impulses with the same Impetu
osity that he speaks his mind to those with
whom he differs. On n.gnf h chanced to
see a bevy of happy young debutantes In a I
box on the opposite side of the tuea.er.
ii
Some of them were th daughters of
friends, but most of them he knew but
slightly. Cruising the audltoiium, he en
tered the box and greeted Its occupants
cordially. Before - leaving he said: "I
should like to take the young women who
are here on a trip wherever they would
best enjoy going. Now, where shall It be'f"
Of course, the astonished debutantes left
the choice of the place to President Burt
and he selected Fort Riley. Th visit was
made on the occasion, ot the annual mili
tary maneuvers, and probably no happier
party ever occupied the private car of a
railroad president than that composed of
the dpien young debutantes of Omaha and
their chaperon.
But no member of the party found greater
enjoyment In the trip than President Burt
In providing the outing and making every
arrangement for the comfort and pleasure an outriKM republican organ and its edi
of his young guests. Although himself not tor the ,ftte E w FoXi took Breat delight
a master of finesse, his apprec.aUon of this , ajUrM,lng President Cleveland "break
quality was shown by tne heartiness of
his enjoyment of a certain incident of the
military maneuvers. When planning the
trip the young women, of course, thor
oughly discussed the matter of clothes
and It was decided that their best array of
party gowns should be taken. But on
shrewd young debutant quiatly packed her
riding habit and said nothing to her asao-
elates regarding this detail of her prep-
aratlon. At tha fort th young officer
came forward with numerous Invitations
for horseback rides, but the shrewd young
miss was the only one of the party who
was able to accept. Th riding habit did
far more effective social execution than all
the party gowns of the company and Ita
owner was besieged with attentions. At
the maneuvers h rode alongside th com
manding officer, while her companions wer
obliged to content themselves with seats in
th reviewing stand. This piece of fern
inln cleverness is said ereatly t. hav
it
was related to him on the return of the
party.
Believer la th Engineering- Idea,
Perhaps no other president ha pushed
the "engineering Idea" further into th
operating field than Mr. Burt. Ar the
greater part of his railroad career up to
the time when he became president had
been spent In the construction department,
this tendency Is not to ba wondered at;
the practice of Ailing operating positions
by men educated as engineers is, however.
not an uncommon phase of modern rail
road administrative policy, and ita result
ur held to bo generally satisfactory.
Strong, unflinching personal loyalty 1 a
trump card In the character of President
Burt. He I a firm a "stayer" in friend-
hip as In enmity. It Is said that when
youth, and fighting hi way for a college
course at Ann Arbor, be received encour
agement and substantial aid from a fam
ily friend a man who, for .Ms day and
community, was regarded aa wealthy. Al
though his friendly service wa long ago
repaid, so the story has it, the matter kas
Iways been considered an "open account
by President Burt of the Union paclflo.
and shortly after he cam into his present
position h nentxfor the son of hi friend
and gave him a placa In th employ of th
road. Just a rapidly as he could qualify
for promotion the young man was ad
vanced, and he now holds a very r sponsi
ble position on th cmcial staff. That he
will go much higher Is not doubted by those
who know the personal characteristic of
president Burt and the history of his st
tachment for tho father of his young pro
tege. But as President Burt is a stickler
for solid merit. It may safely be assumed
that the son of hi old friend ha mad
good" In artnal results.
A a railroad engineer and construction
ist Horse O. Burt Is one of th most m
Inent figure In th contemporary railway
world. Here Is the field of his genius and
here he has made rallrdad history in desd
earnest. Th keen Judgment of the new
owners of the Union Pacific was perhaps
never more conclusively demonstrated than
In selecting Mr. Burt for the heavy re
sponsibility of reconstruction. It Is scarcely
too much to say that this pushing, driving
president, who flare to overturn prece
dents snd traditions snd who I not feased
by the enormity of any task, has accom
pllshed In tnree yesrs e reconstructive
ork thst would. In the hands of an or
mnarr r-nti,w, nave requirea SIX or
eight years.
Recoastraotlea Wnrk.
Much of th machinery used In this work
ot reconstruction wa put to practical test
on th Union Pacific for the first time. Th
whole plan of th vast Improvement cam
paign was boldly conceived, snd it has
been executed without a serious hitch or
break in tact, without any Interruption of
traffic.
Th rehabilitation of th road ha ex
tended to th smallest details; ths lax dls
plpltna which wa a natural and perhap
Inevitable result of th administration by
receivership has been tightened to meet
the most modern and atringent Ideaa; every
department has been put upon a atrlct
business basis, end th entire property and
organisation of th road rejuvenated with
th on Idea of making It a great dividend
earner.
A th realisation of this result must
rest primarily upon th ability to haul
th maximum of tonnage at th minimum
of cost, th problem waa necessarily first
on of good engineering, of th reduction
of grade, th elimination of curves, ths
strengthening of bridges, end all other
Improvement Involved In making It pos
sible to haul heavier loads snd with greater
expedition without Increasing th expense
of operation
Bulldog determination I a mild term to
apply to th persistent, unrelsxing force
which Mr. Burt applies to th problems
and duties vt bis o fries. H move with
ths dUectness sad fewer ef a locomotive,
Del lea t tasks of diplomacy, trimming of
sails and the shifting of ballast I rl.ate
and annoy Mm; the tile adjustment of
labor troubles, th soothing of Irritated
shipper and other patrons of the road,
are not to his liking.
Mr. Burt' prepartlon for hi work was of
tha right kind to develop his natural gifts
to their full extent. After going through
th Terr Haute High school h entered
th University of Michigan and waa gradu
ated In 1867, being then 24 years old; but
hi start In railroad' service began while
he was still In hi teen.
HI work aa a rodman on the old Van
dalla line helped him to pursue hla school
work and the money he earned in charge
of a locating party on th Joy roads went
Into hi college funds.
Shortly after leaving college he wai given
a position In the engineering department
of the Chicago & Northwestern railway.
Her he became chief engineer. In 18SJ h
undertook hla first responsibilities as an
operating executive, being superintendent
of the northern Iowa division. Six years
later found him In tha Important position
of general manager of the Fremont, E.k-
horn A Missouri Valley road, with head
quarters at Omaha. Next h served, for
a few months, as general manager of th
Bt. Paul, Minnesota ft Omaha railway,
from which h waa- called to the
third
vice presidency of the Chicago A North
western railway. In charge of traffic.
This glimpse of his career Is full of
meaning to the young men who are ambi
tious to make sound progress toward th
highest position in railroad administration.
It polnta with emphasis to th conclusion
that a thorough knowledge of engineering
I a strong basis upon which to gain a
footing In the operating and traffic, aa
well as th construction, branches and
this conclusion Is distinctively "the Burt
ldea."-Forest Crlssey In Saturday Even-

(Continued from First Page.)
and the quiet sentiment that la develop
ing all over the east for his nomination
on the democratic ticket reminded one of
the old-time newspaper men of this city
the other day of a atory In which Mr.
Cleveland figured in saving a young news
paper man from a scoop. In fact Mr.
Cleveland is probably the only president
who ever thought sufficiently about a news
feature to Interest himself In any news
paper man. John V. Drew was a general
reporter on the Press of this city, which
now lies In a neglected grave In Washing
ton's Inurnnllsllc remeterv. Tha Press was
fast table" .etters which were calculated
to take away the presidential appetite.
In consequence, the Press, It editor, and
the reporter were persona non grata about
the White House. Th Press did not hav
very much of a local force and It wai
very shy of associated press or other news
association reports. On February 36, 19,
the Centennial exercises ot the founding of
QeOTgt.town university were held and Presl-
dent Cleveland delivered a very thought
ful address. Drew waa called upon to re
port th oentennial proceedings. Not hav
ing been promised a copy of the presi
dent' speech, Drew was called upon to
take "long hand" th president's oration.
He sat alongside th platform and his
copy paper lay within a dosen inches of
th president's dexter: foot. Drew doesn't
know whether or not .th president noticed
his commendable and. arduoua efforts to
keep pace with him but subsequent de-
vlopmentg made bins think he did. At tha
close of th address Vie rresident,. accom
panied by Cardinal atbons ana tne rec
tor of the university, proceeded to the Cole
man museum" where. ; they received the
lumnl only. A bright Idea struck Drew
squarely In the forehead- While not
a graduate of Georgetown he declared
himself an alumnus of that Institution.
He was presented to the president as such
and also as a Washington reporter.
You fellow get everywhere, don't you?"
wa the president's greeting, sccompanled
by a hearty handshake."
John modestly admitted that they did
and passed on. When a few feet away he
turned and looked back. He was ourprlsed
to see the president raise his right hand
and with his Index finger beckon him back.
Did you Intend to publish my remarks?"
Inquired tho president.
"Yes, sir," was the reply.
"What paper do you represent?"
"Th Washington Press."
As the recollection ot those "breakfast
table" letters flashed across the presi
dent's Intellect his face clouded for
moment and h uttered a low guttural
sound which might or might not have been
akin to those utterancea which made"our
army In Flanders" famous. Then, a slight
smile played across his features and he
aid:
If you will call at the White House
Colonel Lamont will give you a copy of
my address.'
Thank you, sir. May I Bay you sent
me?"
"Yea, certainly."
"Thank you, sir."
Then John Drew withdrew, the best
I pleased man In all 'hat brilliant assem
blage at being saved from a scoop by tha
kindly thoughtfulnesa of th president of
the United States.

STREET VACATION MAY BE TAKEN UP
Providing a Place for the Damping
ef Garbage Reealres Immediate
Attention from the City
Authorities.
There will doubtless be considerable busi
ness of Importance transacted by the city
council at the meeting to b held tonight
Arrangements will bs mad to refund $21,000
In bonus which fall dus on November 1.
Should th district court set aside th In
junction relating to th vacating of stub
ends of streets In th northern part of th
city for railroad purpose when the case
comes up today th council will proceed
tonight to receive e report from th judi
ciary committee and have th ordinance
read for th second tlms.
One matter ot great Importance which
Mayor Koutsky has promised . to hav
brought up is the necessity for dumping
garbsge Into the river. Those who have
Inspected the present dump say that refuse
Is plied high on a sand bar a considerable
distance from the river. 'This Is because
there Is no safe road to the water's edge.
Physicians who have looked Into th matter
say that If this dumping keeps on th
health of the residents of Bouth Omaha will
be greatly endangered, especially In th
spring. No sooner Is a passabla road mad
to the river than something happens and
the road is there no more. Oarbage haulers
sr doing th best they can, as th river
cannot be reached the garbage 1 dumped
on a sand bar not a great distance from the
emergency hospital. The expenditure of
about 1100 at this time would, it Is thought,
build a road to tha river that would last
all winter. In case this Is dons provision
will hav to be made for dumping th
garbage now on the sand bar Into the river,
and this will cost probably 1100. Bom
matters of minor Importance will also be
discussed.

ENRAGLD LOVER FIRES THE BULLET

I alary.
A shaggy-coated St. Bernard doe; saved
the life of a little 4-year-old, curly haired
girl at Tenth and Davenport atreets Bun
day morning. A bullet fired from a 32
collber revolver. In the hands ot Walter
Scott, a colored man, and Intended for
Hattle Johnson, a dusky bell of the Third
ward, was Intercepted In Its flight directly
at the Innocent child and found lodging In
the big dog'e shoulder, which it shattered
and maimed In a fearful maner.
The child Id the daughter of Morris
Blank, grocer at 1401 Davenport, and th
dog Is the family pet. The little girl and
the dog were having a romp In the street
about 9 o'clock In the morning, when two
colored women came along. They were
Hattle Johnson, to whom Scott had teen
paying considerable attention of late, and
ber sister. Myrtle Johnson.
Enraged over the belief that Hattle John
son was false, and imbued with the desirs
for revenge because she had gone out Sat
urday night with another man, Scott had
been looking for her and when he met the
two women at th atreet corner, without
any preliminaries, pulled hla gun end be
gan shooting, taking four shots at them.
The little Blank girl was standing In direct
line with the women, and but for the fact
that the dog was between her and Scott, a
different story would be told of the affray.
So enraged woe Scott that his aim waa
poor and not one of the bullets sent in the
direction of tha two women took effect
Both women were badly frightened.
Mr. Blank, who was alarmed for the
safety of hla child, finding her safe, telo
phoned the police station end Officers Bald
win, Crowe, Sergeant Dempsy and Deteo
Uvea Drummy and Madsen Immediately
started out to round him up.
Considering flight futile, Scott went dl
rectly to the police station and surrendered
unconditionally to Sergeant Marshall and
was locked up. The women were found
ami are being held ea witnesses.
