(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Nov. 4. Special Telegram.)
Booth's Cornhuskers are In anything but
good physical trim for their annual clash
on the gridiron tomorrow with the Uni
versity of Iowa. Btaleness following; the
strenuous work of preparing for the Minne
sota gains last week Is what Is ailing tht
Nebraska players.
liooth put the players through a short
signal practice this afternoon and the show
ing was discouraging, the men displaying
an almost utter lack of snap and ginger,
which was In marked contrast with the
energy they exhibited before the game with
the Gophers. Tonight Booth admits that
Nebraska will have a hard fight to defeat
the Iowans and he refused to predlot a
victory.
The Iowa team, twenty players strong,
with Coach Chalmers In charge, reaeh.jd
Lincoln this evening and was received by
several hundred shouting Nebraska stu
dents. Chalmers says: "Captain Jones, who plays
right half, and Quarterback Griffith are
the only men on his squad who are not in
the pink of condition."
Jones and Griffith sustained fractured ribs
last week In the Ames game, but, while
Chalmers expresses doubt, both of the men
declare that thoy will be In the game.
Nebraska has a heavier line than the
Iowans, but the Hawkey backfleld ia
heavier than that which will be presented
by the Cornhuskers. The betting favors
Nebraska, In spite of Booth's conservatism.
This morning a mass meeting was "held
In the chape) at the university and the
Corn husk er squad was Jollied up to beat
the band. Tomorrow afternoon the newly
organised band of girl rootera will be n
hand and do their stunt along with the
regular rooters. The following la tiie lineup

BELLEVUE. Neb.. Nov. 1 (Special.)
After beating Grand Island college by a
score of 22 to 11, notwithstanding tho
shattered condition of the local team,
Bellevue comes out with a smiling face
and announces through Its coach that
there is no visible reason why Hastings
should not follow the Baptists to defeat.
Inasmuch ns Grand Island is already a
victor over Hastings, and Bellevue Is In
hetter trim now by far than It was when
It met Grand Island. Nevertheless, no at
tempt will be made to run the score up
very high, because of the still crippled
condition of some of the players, Moore
and Clark especially, who are suffering
some Inconvenience from sore necks, sou

game. Partly In consideration of this,
the last week has been devoted only to
light practice, no new tactics tx-lng Intro
duced especially for this game.
Those who have from the side lines no
ticed the team work, romnjent again and
again on. this evident lack df variety. The
team linee up, Signals are called and one
end or the other swings in and a back cuts
around the protecting wings of his two fel
low backs and, perhaps, a man or two
from the opposite end of the line. This
stunt Is the favorite resource of Bellevue
and because It is also the long suit of
Captain Moore, whose end sprints proved
a problem to the University Cornhuskers
last yar. It Is one In which It excels.
A new star waa developed In the Clrand
Island contest and that was Bmwn, former
best player on the Tork High school
champion eleven. Brown did things up
after his name, by kicking goal from the
forty-yard line. The feat was performed
at the very moment when college local
enthusiasm ran highest, the relative scores
having Just been balanced by a touchdown
by the opposition.

HASKELL GETS A STAR PLAYER
Warren, Formerly with Carlisle,
Joins the Squad.
LAWRENCE, Kan., Nov. 4. (Special Tel
egram.) Warren, a veteran player, Is the
"Big Brave," the dark horse thut has been
lurking in the Haskell camp and who has
been proving himself a remarkably fast
guard. Warren came to Haskell about
three weeks ago, and Coach Hersucln re
fused to say anything about . the new
comer, and apparently has been trying to
keep the big Indian's real name a, secret
until the Nebraska game, November 12.
When local supporters of the Redmen
learned that "Big Brave" was the re
nowned Warren of Carlisle, Latrobe and
Minnesota, HaBkell stock on the Nebraska
game took a plunge with the very few
who know Warren and these are playing
their money freely on the aborigines as
victors in the Nebraska contest.
Warren played first substitute on Car
lisle in 1896 and lm to Bemls Pierce, the
great Carlisle guard. In WOO he went to
Latrobe, Pa., and played there on a pro
fessional team. In 19oi, 1902 and 1903 War
ren held down the guard position on Min
nesota, and was in the gume when Ne
braska defeated the Gophers.
EAST DES MOINES THE CHAMPION

betting dune, by the friends of both teams.
Iowa Ready for Cornhnskers.
IOWA CITY, Un.. Nov. 4. (Special. )-In
the game with Nebraska which will be
played tomorrow the University of Iowa
will attempt to get revenge for the humili
ating defeat It suffered at the hands of the
Cornhuskers last season. In that game It
was claimed that Nebraska won by a long
run and a touchdown thut Bhould not have
been allowed. Bender was the offender.
The play wus a quarterback run, whore
the rues provide that the quarter sluill
run at least five yards to either side of the
point from where the ball is snapped.
Bender ran out Ave yards, drawing the
entire line with hjm, only to return to his
original position and cross the line of
scrimmage not three feet from center. He
was not stopped and it Is said his run won
the gam?, inusmuch as the referee did not
see the play.
Iowa players and rooters have held that
defeat against Nebraska, and the Hawk
eyes, flushed with the state championship
honors secured In the Ames game, are
f;olng tb invade Lincoln with a spirit that
t is hoped will sweep all before It. The
showing made by Nebrnska against Minne
sota lust Saturday, when they virtually
defeated the Gophers, foretells that Iowa
will have much to do to bring home another
scalp. And besides that the Hawkeyes are
entering the game minus two of the oldest,
strongest and headiest players on the
squad. Captain Jones and Griffith, the star
?uarter, who have played on the Iowa team
or three years, were so serloifsly Injured
In the Ames game, when both sustained
broken ribs, that neither will be able to
enter the game, and their loss Is a serious
blow to the prospects of a successful out
come of the contest.

loo, and Bam S. Wright of Tipton, secretary
of the Iowa State Bar association. Mr.
Wright was billed to speak at Waverly at

were speeding across the country, they
turned a sharp corner and upset their
vehicle. Both were hurled to the ground
and painfully Injured, though their Injuries
are not serious. They sent back to Water

was the member of the Iowa delegation to
the democratic national convention who al
most precipitated a riot on the floor of the
St. Louts convention by climbing up on n
chair and seconding the nomination of
Parker on behalf of "the unpurchased and
unpurchasable" portion of the Iowa dele
gation. He had not been heard of In the
present campaign, however, until this Inci
dent today disclosed that he had been doing
some speaking in the state.
Think Dawson Will Win.
John Briar, private secretary to Governor
Cummins, returned today from the eastern
part of the state, where he has been with
Governor Cummins, who Is speaking in the
Second district. "The campaign In the Sec
ond district Is not apathetic," sold Mr.
Briar, "and the republicans there are very
confident they will be Able to defeat Judge
Wade and elect Q. F. Dawson to congress.
The governor and Mr. Dawson spoke to
gether at Charlotte to a great crowd of
farmers. At West Liberty there was one
of the greatest demonstrations ever seen
in a town of that size. The republicans
had a marching club with Roman candles
and fireworks and torches and music. The
whole district Is aroused In that way."
Governor Cummins found It Impossible to
get released from his Iowa dates to go
to Wisconsin for a speech Saturday.

bedpost. She lived with her son, and had
been a resident of the state for over fifty
years. She lost a son six years ago and
was greatly grieved. She had been blind
for Beveral years.
Dallas County Finances.
A sensation bus been created in Dallas
county by the publication at this time of
the report of L. A. Wilkinson, an expert
accountant, on the condition of Dallas
county finances and the methods of hand
ling Dallas county finances in recent years.
The report severely scores the county offi
cials for their looseness in accounting and
points out that the annual settlements with
county officers, as made by the Board of
Supervisors, have been Inefficient. It was
disclosed that one set of the county bonds
had never borne the official seal of the
county and were Illegal, and many other
delinquencies were found, but nothing to
indicate official corruption.

1 Dies from' Poison.
Henry Hervcy, aged 19, died at Mercy
hospital at 10 o'clock this morning after
having remained In an unconscious condi
tion since 8 o'clock lust evening, when he
was taken In charge by the police at his
room in the Lincoln lodging house, 216
Chestnut street. Coroner Beck is of the
opinion that Hervey came to his death as
the result of poison, probably strychnine,
and everything learned about the case
points to suicide. At the same time there
Is the element of doubt fixed by a failure
to properly link the chain of circumstances
surrounding the death.

TRAFFIC REPORTS ARE SATISFACTORY
Railway Earnings for October Exceed

Busy.
NEW YORK. Nov. 4.-R. G. Dun A Co.'s
Weekly Reviiw of Trade tomorrow will
suy:
Business Improves steadily and there Is no
evidence of anxiety rg:trding the future.
Payments are more promptly met. tending
to atimulate preparations for coming trade
and the disposition to limit purchases to
immediate needs Is gradually disappearing.
Conservutlsm during the summer and
autumn had a beneficial effect, reducing
stocks to a low point. As demand nrona
ens, this scarcity of supply produces pres
sure for quick delivery and prices are
strengthened. Aside from Inflation caused
by speculation, there la no better sign of
commercial progress than advancing com
modity mark ts.
All the leading branches of manufacture
are in a better position, with noteworthy
activity at Iron furnaces, woolen mills and
footwear factories. Fall River cotton m.;ls
are still Idle because of the wage contro
versy, but many other New England plants
have resumed and the outlook fr this In
dustry Is more favorable than at any time
since it became demoralized by inflated raw
material last year. Traffic reports are
satisfactory, railway earnings In October
exceeding last year's by 7.fi per cent. For
elun commerce returns at this port for the
last week show a gain of 1789.278 In ex
ports and a loss of $J97,7B2 In imports, as
comunred with 1903.
Wholesome progress Is recorded In the
Iron and steel industry, sentimenial Im
provement being succeeded by actunl busi
ness. Thus far tho best news comes from
blast furnaces, contracts for delivery of pig
Iron running well Into next year, with a
further sharp rise in process. Buyers who
procrastinated a few weeks ago are npw
eairer to arrange shipments.
Material Is being sought for railways,
cars, bridges, etc. This new business Is
accompanied hy a good movement of pipe
despite the higher prices and also places
for shipbuilders. Old material has risen
sharply.
Limited supplies maintain hides In a very
strong position and some lines are botight
In advanea of salting. A better demand for
leather Is noted, large exports to Japan
providing a new outlet for stocks. Eastern
shoe shops were busily engaged on late
fa'l goods. Prices are fully maintained.
Trade In cotton goods is limited to early
shipment, nelthpr element In the primary
market seeking to operate beyond the busi
ness In sight. Much export business Is Im
minent, Judging by the frequent Inquiries
end small difference In views ss to prices.
Woolen goods are strong and moving
freely, the coming opening of heavyweights
promising to be at high prices. Raw wool
has agnln advanced and is an important
factor In the slttinllon.
Commercial failures this week In the
United States are 219. against 223 last week
and 215 the preceding week and 246 the cor
responding week last year.
Failures In Canada number 27. ssralnst
Wast week, 39 the preceding week and 22
last year.
BRADSTREET'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Warm Wenthcr and Interest in. Elec
tion Interferes with Retail Trade.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Bradstreefs to
morrow will say:
Warm weather, activity In fall farm
work and ante election interests have In
terfered with retail trade distribution
north and west. For like reasons Jobbing
sales are rather smaller In volume. Against
this, however, Is to be cited Increased ac
tivity In a number of Industries, headed by
iron, steel and allied lines of manufacture.
Resumption of work by 10,000 eastern cot
ton mills workers was a feature, but the
great Fall River tleup continues and the
strike of a comparatively small number of
mine employes Is responsible for the Idle
ness of close to 40.0U0 Indiana and Illinois
coal miners and higher prices for bitumi
nous coal. A very general advance In
staple prices, covering a wide range of In
dustry, Is an event worthy of note.
Reports from the whiter wheaj crop show
a record acreage in that cereal, but drouth
and Hessian My damage reports detract
from an otherwise excellent prospect in the
surplus producing, states of the west.
Money ts easy and a number of centers re
port a return flow In the country districts,
a significant indication of the large num
bers of producers.
The south gives relatively the best re
ports as to trade. Eastern trade reports
show irregularity. Dry goods are rather
quiet at New York, Philadelphia and Bos
ton. Clothing Is not yet active for spring
and woolens are rather quiet, though raw
wool Is slightly higher. The leather mar
kets are generally strong at the advance of
last week. Some spring orders for shoes
have been turned down by manufacturers,
who declare that present leather prices de
mand higher prices for their products.
Shipments are Jarger, but are still behind
any of the previous week. There was an
other active week In Iron and steel, and
the course o prices Is still upward. Fin
ished materials show Increased activity,
with a Arm undertone.
Business failures In the United States for
the week ending November 2 number 200,
against 180 last week, 218 in the like week In
1903, 148 In 1902. 191 In 1901 and 1B1 In 1900.
In Canada failures for the week number
20. as against 22 last week and 19 in this
week a year ago.

week ending November 8 aggregate 1,482.202
