' ' 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 MILWAUKKC.

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. The'llneun: COTNER. I J. Ream K LE .. Kill. UTIUT... lAKl LOILO... flmr lie A. Toon R (i!R O... Clark. R. Young R f;T. Rravat R K R E...

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- in Post, PAST EXTRA SESSIONS (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.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA OoniidsrabU Ba nets to Corns Be'sr the City CoucoiL 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. Complaint Ahont Nalsaaee. Sanitary Inspector Jones Is preparing to make complaint to tho city council about th dumping of refuse from stock cars In side the city limits by th Burlington road. Just north of L street and east of the trackp at Thirty-eighth the Burlington cleans and disinfects Its stock cars. Tha refuse Is piled along the tracks for a dis tance of about 1.000 feet. Thomas Glllleple and Peter Lenagh, as well as others owning property In the vicinity, filed a complaint with Inspector Jones. When an Investiga tion waa made a day or two ago the condi tion was found to be as stated by the com plainants. Tha city council will be asked to direct that after this the Burlington durnp the refuse from ita cars outside of the city limits. Reported Robbery. John Roth, who lives at Forty-third and streets, and Chris Trummer, residing In the ame locality, called at police head quarters yesterday and reported that at about 1 o'clock Sunday morning they wer held up near the entrance to the Catholic cemetery by three men and robbed. Both aasert. that S50 was taken from him. The robbers wore no masks, but carried re volvers. A meager description ot the robbers was given the police.
