'HICAOO, March . Western rcilleBee
are to have foot ball this year, although
the style of came will re modified to such
an extent that nil brutality and unneces
sary danger will be eliminated. This was
the derision reached here tonight by fac
ulty representatives of the "Big Nine" col
leg'S who were called together In a second
"reform" conference by President Angell
of the fnlverslty of Mlchigun. Today's
meeting was called for the purpose of re
considering the recommendations of "re
form" adopted at the first conference, as
several of tho universities were dissatis
fied with some of the ruleB adopted at
that meeting. The recommendations
chiefly objected to were the abolishment of
tho professional coach, the training table
and the three-year rule. The professional
coach Is to remain only us long as ex
isting contracts are in force. This means
that Indiana and Michigan will be the
only colleges in 'the .organisation this .year
that will have the services of the profes
sional coach. The teams . of the seven
other universities either will be coached by
members of the faculty or will use the
graduate coach system.
Trnlnlna Table Abolished.
The training table, one of the principal
adjuncts of a. foot ball team, is a thing
of the past An effort was made by some
of the colleges to have this rule rescinded,
but the sentiment was In favor of its
abolishment and no change was made in
the recommendation'- on this subject lit the
first conference.
In regatl to the style of gutne to be
played, a committee was appointed with
au'horlty to pass judgment on the rules
adopted by the American rules committee.
If these rules are found to be unsatisfac
tory tne committee Is vested with power
to frame regulations of their own. The
niirnlHTs of this committee are Profs.
Sampson of Indiana, Smith of Iowa and
Moran of Purdue.
Tho foot ball seaaon will clos on the
Satnrday before Thanksgiving.
The three-year rule was changed so that
all students who have taken part in ath
letics for three years will be eligible for
another yeur. but that at the end of 190
ihn three-year rule will be put In force
so that It will Include all athletics.
The regular Intercollegiate conference
will meet here tomorrow to take final
uctlon on the recommendations made at
tonight's conference. As the majority of
the representatives at tonight's meeting
will take part in tomorrow's conference, it
Is believed that all the recommendations
will be adopted as they now stand.
1.1st of Proposed negotiations.
The following are the principal regula
tions decided upon at the special confer
ences and which will be placed before to
morrow's meeting for approval:
Thai no student may participate In ath

play with hign schools, academies or inde
pendent professional schools. That no more

4ien teams and second elevens play only
wiin the leaina from ilielr own Institutions.
' That the price of admission to Intercol
legiate contests for members of the unl
vciany be not more than pU cents, Includ
ing reserved seats. That no training table
he maintained. That to be eltsible for ath
leilca. the student must have nasstid all
entrance requirements, that all intervening

tlonal staff appointed by the trustees on
the rt-commendullon of the faculty and
that the salary attaching to the position
shall he no more than that paid to other
members of the faculty of the same rang,
This rule to be enforced Just as soon as
existing contracts have run tneir course.
that there shall be no preliminary training
prior to the beginning of Instruction. That
the foot hall season end the Saturday be

A.MKS. la.t March . (Special.) Bane ball
mailers at th low. Stale college are now
beginning to assume more definite form
than they have at any previous time this
season. Since the weather has warmod
up the candidates are enabled to get out
of the training shed and have been prac
ticing on the campus. Captain Parsons
has not been able. to definitely pick a team
from the large number of candidates, but
is now beginning to get a line on tne new
material before him. It now avnaara eer
tain that the team thla year will be made
up largely of new and untried players, as
only three or four of last year's team are
hack again this season, and even those who
played as substitutes last year. But with
about eighty candidates there aeema to ba
no good reason why a first elass nine can
not be selected. But with an entirely new
bunch of players there exists a feeling of
uncertainty as to what the outcome of the
season's work will be.
I'p to thla time a manager has not been
elected and a coach has not Deen secured,
though It la expected one will be engaged
within the next week. When these ar-
rangementa have been completed It la hoped
that a team will be selected Immediately
and nractlca begun In earnest. Preparation
h re going forward to get the diamond in
snap so that practice can be Indulged In
more freelv than has been dona up to this
time. Prof. Pyers has been arranging for
a schedule and a number of practice games
have already been dated which Include a
series of gamea with the Cedar Rapid
Three-I league, April 17, IN and 1, at Ames
The second series will be with the Mar-
halliiivn Iowa leaaue team on April St.
io, 24 and 17. A practice game will be
played with the State Normal April 21. It
la probable that one or mora games will be
played with the Universities of Missouri,
Nebraska, and Knox college, besides the
-regular state school games.

RAIIMY EARNINGS STILL INCREASING
and
This Is the harvest month In tha great
orange groves of Southern California, the
time when all the available men, women
nd children are busy gathering the golden
fruit. Statist!) s collected by the Depart
ment of Agriculture show that In the
season of 10O4-1K06 about 31.000 carloads of
oranges were shipped from California, and
this season the number of carloads will
probably reach JS.OUO, or enough to make
thousand trains, each of thirty-five cars.
Three thousand care will probably be re
quired to haul the Florida crop, and other
orange regions will contribute to swell the
total. Tet the Industry which provides the
fruit to fill these thousands of cars Is of
comparatively recent origin.
But the orange Itself Is no parvenu. In
classical literature It Is mentioned as far
back as 420 B. C, and in the ancient He
brew writings It wa called hadar or "the
beautiful." According to the old pagan
legend Venus planted the first orange tree
on the Island of Cyprus. ' In Rome the
fruit was later known as "Adam's apple"
or "Paradise apple," because It was sup
posed to have been the fruit ot the for
bidden tree In Paradise. If this myth be
credible, the oldest families of Europe are
mere upstarts compared with ;h; humble
orange of commerce.
So far as history authentically knows.
the orange originated In India and China,
nd was spread by the Arabs to Syria,
Africa and Spain. In Sanscrit It has been
called "nagrungo"; In Arabic, "narang";
In Spanish, "naranja," while In Italian this
became softened to "arancia," und In
Provencal "orange" the name which per
sists In our language today.
The cultivation of orange groves for
commercial purposes began In California
about half a century ago. During the gold
excitement that succeeded the year 1S49,
thousands of prospectors flocked to the gold
fields only to find that the glittering for
tunes they had been seeking were Impos
sible of achievement. Hundreds persisted
In the attempt to drag forth the hoards
hidden In the heart ot the hills, and many
perished on the scorching deserts or the
bleak, wintry heights. But some of the
wiser onea pushed beyond the mountains
of ice and snow, and came to a valley of
perpetual summer, watered by hundreds
of mountain streams, where all the fruits
of the earth appeared to flourish. These
pioneers found gold, Indeed, for they es
tablished the great orange orchards o:
California.
At first the orchardlsts realized exorbit
ant prices for their fruit, and they grew
rich rapidly. And even after the sale price
of oranges fell to a more normal level, the
gradually Increasing transportation facili
ties constantly enlarged the markets and
brought In splendid returns for the In
creasing crops. The pioneer orchardista
In the San Bernardino and San Gabriel
valleys were followed by swarms of Imi
tators. A colony went out from Indiana
to grow the golden fruit. From Riverside
the orange culture spread to Pasadena.
Sheep grazing lands were transformed
into orchards; new cities sprang up not
mere mushroom mining towns, but substan
tial cities that flourish today; and Anally
old towns like Los Angeles and San
Diego, woke from a sleep of three-quarters
of a century and started on a career of
progress as marvelous as that of any city
In America.
The Washington navel orange, which is
now the standard orange of California and
famous throughout the world, was brought
to the United Statee from Brazil thirty
twt years ago. Two planta were obtained
by the Department of Agriculture at
Washington; two more, born ot theae,
were first planted in California by Luther
C. Tlbblts In 1874. From these two plants
have come the most profitable orange
groves of California today. And, while
millions of dollars have been made from
this transplanted orange, it is one of the
grim humors of life that Tlbblts, the pio
neer, subsequently was forced to go to the
poorhouse.
The California orange la practically a
perennial fruit. By far the greater portion
of the commercial crop is grown In the
southern part of the state, but the fruit
can be safely and profitably raised along
the foothills of the Sierra Mad re mountains
from San Diego to Tehama counties, a dis
tance of over 700 miles. How rapid hai
been the growth of the orange Industry
in Northern California Is shown by the
fact that In 1893 four cars of oranges were
shipped from the Sacramento valley;
eighty-one cars were shipped in 18M, and
in 1901 the shipments had grown to 2,341
cars.
In the state generally, the months of May,
June, July, August and September are de
voted to the cultivation and general over
sight of the orchards. In November the
fruit begins to mature and the harvest Is
on. Every man, woman and child in the
orange district then gets out In the fields
and helps with the crops. The oranges
continue to ripen through a good part of
the year, and some of the Valencia va
rlety will atlll be ahlpped during October
of tha following year.
Five yeara after budding, or six after
planting the seedling trees begin to bear.
The treea live ao long that an orchard
Is practically a permanent Investment.
There is a tree at Versailles the seed of
which is said to have been planted by
Leonora, wife of Charles III, king of
France from 89 to 923. San Francisco

DRUID HILL CLUB"" ACTIVE
Improvers Jet What They io After
nil Residents Reap Ma
terial Benefits.
The Diuid Hill schoolhouse Is badly
overcrowded by the pupils of the district,
according to the Druid Hill Improvement
club, which has set out to .have enlarge
ments made to properly accommodate the
children attending. The club people point
out that more than twenty-six new dwel
lings have, been erected In the district in
the territory bounded by Twenty-seventh
and Thirty-sixth, Amos avenue and Bristol
streets, during the last year. It believes
the figures and condition of the school are
indications of a rapidly growing Omaha.
Tho club Is endeavoring to have vacant
property Improved and has been successful
In getting crosswalks all over the district.
February 27 the club notified Street Com
missioner Hummel that crosswalks were
needed at sixteen locations. March 8 all
these walks had been put in.
The club is now trying to have a watch
man stationed at the Belt Line crossing
on Spaulding street, which 250 school chil
dren use. Extensions of sewers on four
streets are wanted, together with the pav
ing of as many streets, more street lamps
and tho extension of gas mains.
An Important object of the organization
is to induce the further extension of the
Dodge street car line and the construction
of the north central boulevard.

Old Sores that refuse to heal are a constant J IXLALI tl
menace to health. They sap the vitality and undermine the constitution by
draining the system of its very life fluids, and those afflicted with one of
these ulcers grow despondent and almost desperate as one treatment after
another fails. They patiently apply salves, washes, plasters, etc., but In
epite of all these the sore refuses to heal and eats deeper into the surround
ing flesh, destroying the tissues and growing to be a festering, inflamed and
augry mass. The source of the trouble is in the blood. This vital fluid is
filled with impuritiea and poisons which are constantly being discharged
into the sore or ulcer, making it impossible for the place to heal. It will not
do to depend on external applications for a cure, because they do not reach
the real cause, and valuable time is lost experimenting with such treatment;
the most they can do is Veep the ulcer clean. Any sore that will not heal is
dangerous, for the reason that it may have the deadly germs of Cancer behind
it. A cure can be brought about only through a remedy that can change the
quality of the blood, and this is what S. S. S. does. It goes to the very,
bottom of the trouble, drives out the poisons and germs with which it is
tilled, and purifies and builds up tne entire cir
culation. By the use of S. S. S. the sore is
supplied with new, rich blood which corrects
the trouble, soon stops the discharge, and allows
the place to heal naturally and permanently.
PURELY VEGETABLE. a'so "invigorates the entire system, and
where the constitution has been depleted or
broken down it quickly builds it up and restores perfect health. Write for
our special book on sore and ulcers, and any medical advice you ar ia need
of ; no charge for either. ft IE 3 WiFT SPCCItlO CO., A TLAHTA, CJL,
NOTICE!
Announcement to the Public
Owing to the favorable criticism and many Inquiries received by us from the
medical profession and other Interested regarding our statement that the no
called weaknesa of man Is not a weakneas, but symptoms of Inflammation of the
OUR. FEE prostrate gland (neck of Ihe bladder) caused by con-
' traded disorders and ear ly disxipatlon, ajid the
G5 O f 'os of vitality, prematur oness, etc., are Invari-
ably cured by procedures directed toward cor
recting this Inflammation, we wish to state to
these many inquires, In the columns of the press,
that it takes approximately ten weeks to cure
these disorders of the male. The treatment la en
tirely a local one, as no drugging of the stomach
Is necessary, and that the patient may treat
himself at home under our directions. The ef
fect of thla treatment Is not only gratifying, but
Immediate and the patient is not discouraged by
waiting too long for tang lblo results. We will
cheerfully explain the treatment to any Inter
ested person on request.
