The poor showing In the game with Lawrence and their narrow escape from defeat at the hands of Ames last Saturday caused the supportera of Dr. Williams' men to lose confidence In the ability of the team to win out against the Cornhuskers. The arrival of Coach Cola w it'n his husky bunch this morning caused the Nebraska stock to go up several points. fleeral of tho Minnesota fana went around to the West hotel, where the team Is stop, ping, to see Just what kind of a bunch Nebraska had sent up. When they saw the team they were convinced that the Gophers would meet defeat tomorrow. The Cornhuskers and tbelr coach are ex pecting to win. All of the men except one half back are In good shape for the game Beltzer Injured his shoulder In the contest with Grinnell so badly that he will not be able to play tomorrow. Holder's loss to tho C'ornhiibkera will be felt a great deal, for he was depended upon to do the for ward passing, and there Is no one to take his place who is at all skilled In this work. Coach Cole tonight says that If anything loses Nebraska the game it will.be the absence of Beltser from the lineup. Harry Minor will take Bcltzer's .place. Minnesota will have a stronger team In the game against Nebraska than was sent against Ames. Young, who was out on ac count of injuries, Is In condition and will play. Coach Williams says his green ma terial has developed during tho week so that the team will be ablo to play Nebraska hard enough to win.

SIOl'X CITY. la., Oct. 16-(Special.)-In an effort to build up a defense that will hold Iowa to a low score in the game to be played on Bess field a week from Kut urriay, Coach Jack Hollister of Morning aide college has been giving his foot ball squad strenuous practice for the last week. While the Methodist gridiron warri-irs real ize that Coach Catlin has probably one of the atrongcfct scoring machines ever turned out at the state university, they believe they will be able to keep th score under twenty Tolnts. The team has been greatly strengthened during th week bv the return of Captain Bay Whlsman and Elliott. Whisnian is admitted to be oite of the fastest halfbacks tn the state, and besides will strengthen the eleven in the kicking game. Elliott will probably go to quarterback, where he starred cm last year's team. With a baek field composed of Collins, Whlsman, Elliott and Rogers, the ham will be exceptionally sUong In offensive play. Despite the fact that Morn Ingslde was able . to tie the score against Creightom by the sucofctsful working of a forward pass, the team uaea it rather rag gedly. The Methodist line will be greatly outweighed by their lorn a opponents, but Coach Hollister does not consider tins much of a handicap. Tha arcond team will go to Bloux Falls for a game with Tol man'a business college team. Toaraanaeat at Atlaatle. ATLANTIC. U- Oct.

TETANUS VICTIM'S EXPERIENCE rhyslclan Who Contracted Dreaded Lorkjavr Directs Fight for Ilia life.' Few persons ever unlock their Jaws long enough to tell what the sensations of hav ing tetanus are. But Dr. F. William Grundmann of Wash afreet and Jefferson avenue, St. Iouls, is ablo to do so. He has just recovered from tetanus, as lock jaw Is known to science. There Is a well founded horror In the public mind of lockjaw. While It ' Is not nlways fatal, so few recover from It and the disease is accompanied by such horrors and agorjy that to think of It la to shud der. Vet the public seldom takes any precau tions against It, and while a man may run the risk of It a thousand times and na ture Is on the defense for him, yet It is easily contracted and the tetanus germ is ever present in places where one would least expect to final it Mother Earth. "In diagnosing my own symptoms a week after the germs of tetanus had entered my bleed 1 thought I had tetanus, but I was not sure," said Dr. Grundmann, speaking of his narrow escape from death from the dreaded disease. T could have accurately determined the matter for a patient, but I called on a fel low physician and told him how I felt and the cause that led to the effect and he made an examination of my blood.. Then he called me up on the 'phone and told me I had tetanus and that 1 had better take care of myself. 'By that time I had all the symptoms and was getting worse every moment. This gave me an opportunity to observe Th myself what I had often observed in others, the progress of the disease. 'One day aa I was stepping off a street car it started prematurely and threw ma on my knee on the street. A hole ' was ripped in my trousers and a gash cut In tho flesh of my knee, Into which earth from the street was ground. "I was over on the east side, far away from a drug store or medical supplies, but I tried to get some whisky with which to sterilise the wound. I could get none, not even carbolic acid, so I washed the wound as best I could and bound it up. 'It gave mo no trouble, pained me little and I gave It no further thought. About a week later I found I had fever and that the? muscles of my neck pained me and were constricted. Later I observed spas modic Jerkings of the limbs. These I knew to bo premonitory symptoms of lockjaw. "I was alarmed, naturally, but thought perhaps I might be mistaken, so I visited a physician and told him how I felt. Ho did not think seriously of the matter and I believed I might hsve been mistaken. But, nevertheless, I was worried, and when that night the smptoms grew more pro nounced and became moro perceptible I watched them all the moro closely. "That night I got a real shock. I ob served a growing rigidity of the muscles of the Jaws. If It kept on they would be come locked beyond all hope of unlocking them. "I used all my will power that night to control myself and the symptoms, and In the morning called up the doctor who had made an examination of my blood and told him he was right. He said he would be right over with the tetanus anti-toxin serum. "In one dajr I had 8,000 units or about a fluid ounce of the serum Injected. My jaws continued slowly to grow more rigid, but we fought the disease with the serum until at last we saw that we had the dis ease going the other way, and wa fought It out. "The germs of tetanus may be in any manner of dirt. If you have a wound In your finger and go out into tho garden and stick it into the fresh earth you stand a chance of getting tetanus. By that I mean that the germs of tetanus are In the earth everywhere, In the dirt on the sur face of street, on rocks which cut your flesh when you fall on them, on rusty nails, In anything that Is unclean. It Is of the utmost Importance, therefore, that when one gets a cut to render the wound antiseptic at once. One cannot be too careful about making a wound clean. "A cut that has been exposed to the dirt of the street should be cleansed, and If a surface wound iodoform should be applied. If the cut is deep it should be washed out with a solution of blchlorido of mercury 1,000 to 2,000. If this Is not at hand or cannot be quickly procured, then alcohol (plain whisky will do) should be used as a wash, and if a deep incision, such as made by a rusty nail, it should be syringed clean."

Cody, the American aeroplanlst, who has spent several years in the British serv ice In charge of the kite section of the army, made an attempt today at a flight In his army aeroplane.

POSSIBILITY IT WAS TOM ALLEN Reports Come Bark from Idaho of Fake torles t Ircnlated There by Brothrr-ln-I.atr of Demo cratic Candidate. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. K (Speclal.)-lt Is now up to Tom Allen, Mr. Bryan's brother-in-law, to show that be himself was not treasurer of the democratic state com mittee In WW, the year the $15,000 was brought here by him from Wall street to help elect Bryan I'nlted States senator. A careful search of the files of the news papers during a period covering the 1904 campaign failed to show that any treasurer had been chosen for the democratic state committee. The facts were set out that a chairman had been elected, a secretary and executive committee, but nothing was said of the treasurer. As constant adver tising has failed to bring forth the Indi vidual It, is now believed Mr. Allen himself handled the funds for that campaign. For a while it was thought that someone had been chosen treasurer who lives In one of the western counties, so that a report could have been filed and over looked, but as no one who was mixed up In the 1904 campaign has any idea who the treasurer was it Is now believed by republicans generally and many democrats that the democratic committee elected no treasurer, but permitted Tom Allen to act In that capacity. The only Importance attached to the Identity of .the treasurer is the fact that the law required him to make a report of the receipts and expenditures of that campaign and so far as has been dis covered no sSch report has ever., been filed. If the treasurer can produce his report in the office of the clerk of the court of his home county he cannot be prosecuted for falling to do his duty. Allen Fake Comes Home. The followiug interesting news comes from the weat: BOISE, Ida., Sept. S0.-Llncoln. Neb. Re ported here you. Woods boys, Paul Clark and Elmer Stephenson are supporting Bryan. Wire us. The above telegram was received by a Lincoln republican. It was received at a time Tom Allen. Mr. Bryan's political agent, was In Boise, Ida. gum-shoeiiib around under an assumed name. Mr. Allen had gone to Boise to try and straighten out the democratic tangle In Idaho In the Interest of the candidacy of Mr. Bryan. The man who would have an object In circulating such a report In Bolso at such a time would be Tom Allen. So It Is taken as a fact that Tom Allen was the inspiration that caused the sending of the telegram. The party who signed It is well known in Lincoln and he desired facta to corroborate or deny the reports circulated no doubt by Mr. Bryan's gum shoe agent. The report that the Woods boys, Paul Clark and Elmer Stephenson are supporting Bryan is untrue. It is democratic hot air. The telegram was referred to Charles Matson, chairman of the county commit tee, because the man to whom It was sent Is out of the city and has been for somo months. Mr. Matson personally asked each of the men named in the telegram If he was supporting Bryan and each . emphatic ally denied the report. Each is supporting Mr. Tart and every one of them will vote for Mr.'Taft. This is the Information each gave Chairman Matson. Mr. Matson at once sent the answer of the men named to the inquirer at Boise and thus another of Tom Allen's balloons has been punctured. From a Boise paper It was learned that Mr. Allen had been In that city and that he registered under an assumed name at a hotel. Ills Identity became known when local democrat Inquired at the hotel for Mr. Allen. Then the gum shoe agent of his brother-in-law had to come forth and admit his identity. Another One Ponctnred. The circulation of such reports la in line with what Tom Allen and his henchmen aro doing In Lincoln. They have circulated the report that the First ward has been polled and will give Bryan a majority of 200. Chairman Matson has also Investigated the First ward and he produced the figures to show how utterly foolish and baseless Is the democratic claim. Mr. Matson gave out the following statement: The following figures taken from the certified registration Hats of the thron precincts In the First ward to date, show a total resrlHtratlon of 663 votes n( nhi.i, 3o3 aro republican, 180 democrat, i independ ent, prom union, z socialist and 23 giving no puiiy uiuimuuil. 1 uo not assume nor do I think It fair to the honesty of those who register that a man who gives his party affiliation under oath is going to vote a different ticket. I do not believe that there Is any man who has any occasion for or who is coiinnlitlinr perjury in the mutter of politics this fall. But assuming that Mr. Bryan secures ull the votes In the First ward registered as nonrepublican, Mr. Taft will have a ma jority of 143. In order for Mr. Bryan lo carry this ward by 200 votes on tho present registration, be will have to get between luO and 200 or tiie votes registered as re publican, which figures show how close democrats usually come to the truth in making pre-election prophecies, being on a parity with their standard bearer s prophe cies of what would transpire in the event of adoption of the gold standard in 1S96; hts antl-imperlallsin or 1900 aud his anti mllllary prophecies of 1904. 1 am not surprised at this claim of the democrats, as it is but a part of their general scheme to misrepresent political conditions In Mr, Bryan'a home town. I have observed th.tt many democrats have persistently and knowingly misrepresented conditions and the position of prominent men in Lancaster county during this cam paign. 1 presume this r for the purpose of having an effect on this state and per haps other states, for it is a well known fact that the city of Lincoln and Lancaster county are strongly republican. Even In ls96. the time th.tt Mr. ttryan was the strongest, he lacked approximately 6uo voles of carrying this county. Jn II JO he lost it by over I.'OO and I am in position to know and do know that the prospects for a big republican majority in tins county this fall are better than in 19u0. Foraker Writes Friends. Prominent republicans in Nebraska have received letters from Senator Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio asking them aa "per sonal friends" to vote against Judge Taft for president. It is reported that only a limited number of letters have reached Ne braska, but the Inference is that Senator Foraker has sent out letters to all hit ac quaintances over tha country. It Is re ported that ono man who received a letter said the fact that Foraker is fighting Judgu Taft should strengthen the republican can didate all over the country, and especially should it strengthen him in Nebraska. Railway Commission Itrport. In its first annual report to the governor, which will be filed In December, the Slate Railway commission has reviewed the work It has done since Its organization and made recommendations to the legislature. Most of the recommendations to the legislature are merely minor amendments to the pres ent commission law, necessary should tha authority of the commission be restricted by legislative action. Tha commission sug gests that an apropriatlon be made to pay for finding tlia physical valuation of rail- roaj properly. This Information, the com mission believes. 1st necesary befor It can act with Intelligence In making freight fates. This would require an Inimrnsa amount of work, and the expenditure of a largo sum of money snd the employment of engineers and other clerks and stenogra phers, the report says, but the. expenditure, it believes, is Justified. The commission ingests that tho statute bo made plain that it has tho power to regulate and con trol telephono rates, as a question has arisen whether It hn this power now under tho statute. The commission also desires the statute changed so that It will not have to pay out of Its own appropriation the cost of transcripts and they have to put tho money which It receives from theso transcripts buck Into the treasury where It remains until appropriated out by the legislature. The report reviews the work of the com mission since Its organization, showing In detail Just what has been done. State Teachers' Association Banquet. The committee on the union school ban quet to be held the evening of the first day of the Nebraska Teachers' association, Wednesday, i November 4, In the Lincoln city auditorium, have held several meet ings lately In the offices of The Nebraska Teacher to perfect plans and arrangements. It Is proposed to make this event the great est social and fraternal gathering In the educational history of Nebraska. All de tails will be carefully arranged beforehand and the great task of feeding 1,000 persons In a single room In one hour will be care fully planned far In advance. The demand for tickets probably will be greater than the supply and the price will be $1, and reservations should be made early.

I am sure that you will bo blessed and benefited by the change." Mr. Schnri nearly had a stroke of apo plexy, and It took him some time to ex plain the situation. When Judge Elijah H. Norton of the su preme court was nominated from the Platte county district for congress on the demo cratic ticket. Colonel John F. Pitt, other wise calley "Rully" IMtt. announced him self as an Independent candidato against him. Judge Norton published a list of his speaking appointments In Platte, Buchanan, Andrew, Holt, Atchison, Nodaway and Gentry. Tltt walked over the district and managed t bo at everyone of Norton's meetings, and he harangued the crowd either before or after Judge Norton's speaking. Pitt carried over his shoulder. In a sack, a half bushel of what he called onion seed. He told the people It waa not necessary to wait until he got to con gress for their onion seed, as Be carried a supply with him, which he doled out In small handfuls to the farmers. By some mysterious providence every fanner who planted the seed found himself In pos session of a fine patch of Jlmsons. Colonel Pitt was a notorious whig. Yet, when there was not a single whig tn Platte county except himself the demo crats elected him to the legislature twice. On one occasion he made a speech, such as It was, that was such an oratorical curiosity that It was published In' all .the newspapers from Maine tn California. In that speech he spoke of the fact that aa a whig he shad about as much show In the house, where all were democrats, as "a bobtail bull in fly time."
