of nineties, he chose to preach the gospel

In his work" that 1n' the- last two years,
when It was fob nd that his health was fall

tinued the strenuous preaching on the
streets, he would not quit the work and
take up a more simple.' way of preaching.
Doctors advised his 'retirement over a
year ago; friends urged him to quit, but
. he was persistent In his efforts to carry
on "the work of the lord" and stayed at
his task until the hand of death mowed
him down. His 'friends now feel that his

boy in Omaha long years ago, after leav
ing the Iowa farm, more recently chairman
of the fire and police commission of San
Francisco, and a leading candidate for
grand president of the Eagles at the Omaha
convention, writes to Geographical Tuthill
as follows:
Tour prise list is fine and dandy. Our
fife and dram corps and the drill team
are drilling twice a week, and will now
begin to drill three times a week. There
is totnK to be a larger crowd from Cal
Ifoinia than I anticipated. Our minstrels
are making a big hit everywhere, and Past
Grand Worthy President Bell (chairman of
the board of trustees) ia boosting all along
the line, too. Our "Omaha or bunt" sign
goes with ua and Is put on the stage at
every performance, every place we go. It

Mr. Parry also says. "We - can,, too. If

Now, watch a certain emotional news
paper throw a big fit.
Taking a direct slap at Guardian William
J. Bryan and Ihe recent state legislature,
the University of Nebraska through its
athletic board will make a formal request
to John D. Rockefeller for a gift of $50,000
to equip its newthletlc field.
If the oil king answers the request he
will be honored by having the field named
after him, the title proposed being "Rocker
reller Field." .
The scheme of raising the money for fix
ing up the field has Just materialized and
has the support of Chancellor Avery and
Governor Shallenberger. A petition that
will be sent to Mr. Rockefeller has( been
drafted and the men In control of athletics
at the university are getting the signature;
of several of the leading men of Lincoln
and Omaha to sign It so the oil king will
know that the request Is made in a serluu
way by the Nebraska professors.
Among those who will be asked to sign
the petition will be Governor Shallenberger
who has already signified his willingness to
do so. For a while it has been Intended to
have Chancellor Avery attach his signature
also, but a few of the wiser heads among
the professors saw a grave danger for
the chancellor In doing that and decided
that he should not do anything that would
make him an object of attack by Bryan
or his organs.
Request Will Go East Soon.
The paper making the request will go to
the oil king early this summer not later
than the first of July. It probably will
be presented In person by one or two of
the unlvereity professors.
Considerable effort has been made by
the athletlo board and professors of the
Cornhusker school to keep their novel
scheme of getting the 150,000 from being
brought Into tho strong light of publicity.
The professors do not believe they can be
kept from taking the money, for the re
quest Is going to be made formally by the
Cornhusker athletic board which Itself is
an organization Incorporated under the
laws of this state. This board will receive
the money, of Mr. Rockefeller consents to
give It, and the university Itself will have
nothing to do with the gift.
The 150,000 which the Nebraska athletic
board is trying to get from the oil man
will be needed to put the new athletic field
In shape by next fall. The recent legisla
ture appropriated onely enough money for
buying land for the field and did not give
the university any money for building
bleachers, grandstand, fences, and other
buildings that will have to be placed on
the new site by fall.
Hill Starts the

And behold, there mas a good Samaritan
who fell In a den of thieves.
Going to the county Jail Tuesday after
noon with a rardon for Manley Hlghtshoe.
an alleged woman beater, from Mayor
Dahlman, Wood Hartley, city abstractor
and one of the mayor's loyal supporters,
was Jokingly made a prisoner In a solitary
cell at the county Jail and kept there over
two hours, while the beneficiary of his
good deed went free and was Ignorant of
his benefactor's plight.
"I'm coming down with a pardon for
Hlghtshoe." Hartley told Jailer Ed Gardl
pee over the telephone.
All right," answered the deputy, "we'll
have him ready for you."
But the office force also had something
else ready for Hartley when he arrived.
"Here's the pardon," Hartley said to
Gaidipee when he was ushered through the
Iron gate of the Jail In the main office.
"Where Is the man?"
"Just step Into Deputy Collopy's private
office and he will fix you out," courteously
invited Jailer Gnrdlpee, motioning Hartley
toward a closed door that really led Into
a solitary cell where desperate prisoners
are temporarily kept and which was oc
cupied for several days by the train ban
dit Fred Torgensen.
In the obliging city official stepped,
glowing with the thought that his friend,
Hlghtshoe, would soon be set at liberty
through the united efforts of the mayor
and the city abstractor.
And out Jailer Tom Collopy stepped,
slammed the Iron barred door and locked
It with Hartley meekly peering through
the bars and wondering "what he was In
for." And the Jailers are now telling
what a "rich" time they had for two
hours, while Hartley's pardoned woman
beating friend went free and Hartley him
self walked a 6xS-foot floor for 120 long
minutes, doing his best to persuade the
deputies to release him.
Hlghtshoe was convicted June 7 of as
saulting a woman with whom he had been
living and against whom he first tried to
secure a police court complaint, charging
her with having taken a shawl from the
room where they had lived. He was sen
tenced to thirty days In the county Jail
and had only served eight when released.
The assault took place In full view of the
city Jail and was witnessed by a number
of officers. Including the arresting officer
Detective Charlie Van Deusen.

Projected Burlington Line in Wyom
ing Opens Up New Irriga
tion Schemes.
The announcement of the Burlington
road that It had decided to build a line
down the Big Horn canyon, has put In
motion several large Irrigation schemes
hanging fire for some time.
In 1906 the Wind river reservation was
thrown open for settlement and the Burl
ington's new line will skirt along the edge
of this reservation. Asmus Boysen has
surveys made for irrigating 30.000 acres of
land, the water to be pumped from the
river by the big power plant which he
has constructed at the entrance to the Big
Horn gorge.
The building of the road means also that
another large town will soon be built In
central Wyoming, wherever the Burlington
decides to meet the Northwestern line,
which now runs from Shoshonl to Lander.
CHILD STRUCK BY MOTOR
Little Fellow Knocked from Track,

Sammy. Rumarlo, a boy of 4 years, whose
parents are Italian and live at 118 South
Seventh street, was knocked off the track
by a Harney street car going south on
Pierce street. He and other children were
playing in the tracks and the car hit him.
So far as could be determined by a casual
examination his only injnry was a bruised
arm. He was taken to the residence of
Charles C. Carleton, 1115 South Seventh
street, and given attention by Police Sur
geon Newell.
President Nicholas Murray Butler of Co
lumbia university, formerly head of the
National Educational association, will
spend Tuesday of next week in Omaha on
his way to the meeting oC the association
at Denver. At the request of Victor Rose
water President Butler has accepted an in
vitation to stop over and take occasion to
meet the alumni of Columbia who 'lve
here. The Columbia alumni will arrange
to entertain him at luncheon, and upon in
vitation of Superintendent Davidson of the
city schools a reception will be tendered
President Butler in the afternoon by the
publlo school teachers, probably at the
First Congregational church. President
Butler will be Informally entertained by
Mr. Rosewater In the evening .and leave
Wednesday morning for Lincoln, where he
Is to visit the summer school of the State
university, and then continue his trip to
Denver.
Mayor Dahlman will abdicate tonight and
Councilman Louis Burmester of the Third
ward, president of the council, will reign
In hla stead for the remainder of the week.
The mayor has been advised that It Is
safe for him to leave the city at this time,
as the "traitors" In the council could not
abolish the ordinance offices and fill them
with men of their own choosing short of
two weeks time. And the mayor will be
home Sunday.
Ordinances abolishing the offices created
by ordinance could be passed with the
concurrence of the acting mayor, but all
ordinances must lav over two weeks be
tween Introduction and passage. If these
proposed abolishing ordinances had been
Introduced two weeka ago the "traitors"
could call a special session during the
mayor's absence and pass them on the
final reading, thereby dispensing with the
services of several of the "obnoxious"
members of the mayor's cabinet. No ordi
nances have been Introduced along the
lines thought of and therefore Mr. Dahlman
can leave the city In perfect safety, know
ing that his appointees will be on the Job
when he returns.
President Burmester, acting mayor, says
he would not think of doing anything rash
during the absence of Mayor Dahlman, for
he hopes for an amicable settlement of all
differences. To this end the mayor has
asked for a conference next Monday on
appointments.
Johnson Courts Peace.
Councilman Johnson, one of the "trait
ors," unbent Tuesday to call on the mayor,
but what the executive and the councilman
raid neither will divulge.
Councilman Johnson says he Is for a com
promise, but he also says he will not vote
to confirm the present Incumbents of city
positions unless they get to work and quit
hounding the council men.
A bunch of these fellows In the city hsll
has formed a sort of society for preven
tion of cruelty to appointees," said Mr.
Johnson, "and they seem to think It Is
their bounden duty to tag at our heels
every minute and Insist that we vote for
their confirmation. I tell them they had
better get to work and do what the city
is paying them for, or they won't have
any Jobs to confirm.
Mayor Dahlman goes to Alliance In a spe.
clal car chartered by the South Omaha
commission merchants to attend the an
nual convention of the Nebraska Cattle
Growers' association. The convention will
be held Thursday and Friday. Saturday
evening he will attend a banquet at Kear
ney to be given by the Buffalo county de
mocracy and will respond to the toast',
"Local 8elf Government." Governor
Shallenberger, Arthur Mullen, Judge J. J.

the other speakers.
