THE HEE: OMAHA, .: MONDAY. NOVEMBER 8, 1901). Nebraska SUPREME COURT TO ADJOURN Unmber of Important Decision. Will Be Handed Down Today. WI5DI50 UP THE CAMPAIGN Chalrmaa Hayward Will Call MettlasT of the Reaahllran Mate roaaaaltlee Wilkin a Fen Days. ifFrom a Staff Correspondent.). . COLN, Nov. 7 (Special.) When su preme court adjourns tomorrow evening it IS vary probable Home Important cases will have been decided. The opinion were held up for several days because both Judge Jarnrs and Judge Hoot were called out of the city, each to act as a witness In soma litigation. . That the decision jn the case Involving the legality of the Normal board act will come down there la-every reason to be lieve; When this case Is. decided the board which Is held to be legal will at once take tepa to let the contract for the construe tlon of a I00.0CO wing t at the Kearney Normal school end to take over the Wayne Normal school, for which the state made an appropriation. Salaries of teachers have been held up since last 'May pending the decision. In most instances, however, this fnoney has been advanced by the principals of the schools or by arrangement with local banks. Other bills have not been paid, so there will be great rejoicing when the decision Is finally made, regardless of which board Is the legal board. Winding t'v the Canipalga. .Chairman, Ha ward of . the republican State committee will shortly call the com mittee, or the executive committee, to meet at the headquarters and finally wind up the affairs of the campaign. Just how long Mr. 11 ay ward will hold unto the chairmanship Is problematical. He has said he has enough of the-Job for the present, and Clyde Barnard, secretary, says the same thing, but neither will haiard an opinion of what (he coming year will bring forth or whether they will be compelled to hang on and conduct the next campaign. Mr. Hayward la planning an extensive southern trip some time the first of the year, and the duration of his stay may have something to do with his determina tion to retire from the chairmanship, or to hold It through the, next campaign. Secretary Barnard has private interests which demand considerable ef his time Just now and he has made the statement that being secretary of the state commltteo takes considerable time, to say nothing of the amount of worry and hard work with out appreciation. , Robbed la Drink Shop. A man under the Influence of liquor rushed wildly Into the police station last night and demanded the arrest of two other persons, who he said had robbed him of $6 after he had piloted them to a drink shop In dry Lincoln. When ques tioned regarding the location of the drink shop the man became as though locoed and did not point out the spot. His story was that he met two men, who asked him where the drinks could be had, and he agreed to pilot them to a place. When they got there he pulled out a IS bill to pay for tke drinks. One of the men took the bill to see if It was good and at once disap peared. in the meantime, Acting Chief of Police Malone raided a drug store last night and got several hundred bottles of liquor, and a. gallon of alcohol. .

(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Nov. 7. (Bpeclal.)-The only answer Superintendent Woooard made to a request for an explanation of a Voucher on file In the office of th state auditor shotting that the slate had paid the fi eight on a box shipped from Aurora to IiIh son was this: "Let him shoot his wad." Dr. Woodard had been Informed that his recently deposed bookkeeper, Felix New ion, had dug up the voucher and called the at'ent.on of the public to It. , Attached to the voucher was the freight bill show ing that the box had been shipped to Fiank Woodard, son of the superintendent, from Aurora. The charge amounted to only SS cents. It was shown . that the voucher for the amount was riled for Dr. Woodard. Newton this morning consulted an at torney to find out If a suit could be sus tained against lit. Woodard to prevent him from firing him or cause mmself to be reinstated. "Not because," said Felix, "I desire the Job, but In order to get Into a coutt record some of the deals that have been car: led out at the asylum." The at torney Is to give Newton an answer Mon day. Newton said he has kept a daily jour nal of what he considers questionable work done at the asylum and he Is In a position, he said, to make the. people of the state rise up In their wrath and force the resignation of the head of the Instltu tlon. . Ntnton brought a story to the state houEe this afternoon which he told to show the loose methods of the manage ment of the asylum." Relatives of Henri etta Sapp of Papllllon, he said, deposited money with the Institution to pay for the removul of her body to her home, she being at the time very sick. After her death, he said, she was burled at the asylum. Three or more days later the relatives heard of this and asked the In itilutlon for an explanation. The body as disinterred and sent to Papllllon. TKI.K.l'HONE POLKS CUT DOWN Crab Orchard Aothoriilrs Object to Occupation of Streets. CRAB ORCHARD, Nov. T. (Special.)

Foot ball fans are much gratified that the normal has developed a team out of almost en tirely new material which promises to win many honors this season. This Is due In no small measure to Coach Parnette. Coach Barnette started his foot ball ca reer In the Omaha High School. He played thero for four years and was a star In every game.

OHXHl iKKIIS OT UlSt Ol RAUEI) Team Makes Moek Belter Ikewlsg Than Had Been Anticipated. LINCOLN. - Nov. 7. (Special.) Corh- husker rooters and foot call players are not a discouraged and dlsneartened buncn as a result ot tne game with Kansas yes terday. Ine ray in which the JayhawK- rs snatcned away the victory when then were apparently defeated is a great coniz ation tor the local followers ot the Ne braska eleven. refure the came the Kansas eleven was hailed as the certain conuuernrs of the Curnliuskers and were the big favorites in tne betting, it was thought mat they had much superior eleven to Cole s machine and that tnry would waik over the locai team, home Kansans were so confident that they wagered the score would be 16 or ID to 0. Fifteen minutes after play was started. though, it was apparent that Coles play ers were putting up a much belter game than had been expected and that the Law rence eleven wouid have to play mlgnty good ball to hold Its own. in the first half the excellent punting of Quarterback Johnson was the only tnlng that saved the Kansas goal from being crossed. In the second half the Cornhusk ers grew stronger and rushed their op ponents' off their feet and for a while It ooked as though the local players would get two . touchdowns, penalties Inflicted when the Nebraska men were close to the Jayhawkers' goal denied them touchdowns on two different occasions. It is conceded now that Nebraska will have several men on the All-Mlssourl Val- ey eleven this year. Kansas City news paper men who saw the game declared that the Cornhuskera had the best line In the valley and that some of the forwards could not be denied places on the all-star team. Khonka. center, had Carlson, his op ponent outplayed and will be ranked ahead of the Jayhawker. He Is certain to be the unanimous choice for that pivotal position. Harte and Temple, at tackle, showed up their opponents, making a strong bid for the positions on the big eleven. Ewlng and woicott -nave the Jayhawker guards more than they could handle and should be se lected for the all-star eleven. "Itlng" Cole was much disappointed at the outcome of yesterday's struggle, for he reels that he had a better eleven than Kennedy's. He had pointed his men fur this game and had them In the pink of condition. They were able to play the beat game ot tne rail ana King" sincerely be lieves they should have won on the merit of their play. . ihe Nebraska coach still thinks the Cornhuskers are the best bunch of players In the valley and he thinks they can win the two remaining games on the schedule. He looks for a hard fight with Denver next week. Haskell, he .thinks, will not play nearly so fast a game as Kansas, .and he expects his men to win by a fair sixed score. Johnny BendeT. former Cornhusker star ahd now coach of the Haskell eleven, wit nessed the game with Kansas yesterday from the press box. He took notes on the Nebraska plays and expects to fool the Cornhuskers on Thanksgiving day. Bender says the Cornhuskers should have won from the Jayhawkers and that they played superior ball. "It waa a little hard luck for Nebraska, he said, and it took from Cole's team a game that his men un doubtedly had won by much the better play. The Kansas players themselves ad mit they were outplayed and are thanking their lucky stars that they had a fast man like Johnson." , ..

ODDS ALL FAVOR GOPHERS Id Anderson, Rtar from Rvaaatea, Mar Ho In at Half McGorern's Absence (ilvee Badpera Hope. MADISON, Wis.. Nov. 7. (Special.) Long hours of Ihe hardest kind of scrimmage has been the port on of Wisconsin's foot ball team during the last week. The scrubs alternated with the freshmen In the attack, and so fierce has been the fighting that many of the 'varsity regulars have had to leave the field temporarily. Boyle haa a shattered nerve on his elbow that bothers him considerably. He has been In the prac tice only two nights this week. Buscr, who has been shifted to right guard since Ost hoff has returned to the field, still earrles his eye In a sling from Injuries received t the JKorthwestern game. Moll's nose Is ender from the smash It got at the same time, but he has been In most of the plays t that. Fuclk seems to have recovered from the effects of a wrenched shoulder and Is In good Conditlnn. From the coaching this week It Is evi dent .that Bid Anderson, who starred at Evanston, will surely play against Minne sota. The fans have It doped that he will take one of the half positions but no one can say as yet. Anderson Is one of the most popular men on the team and everyone Is hoping he will be given a ehanoe. He started as quarterback In the first game of the season, but was seised with a bad at tack of stage fright and ran the team mis erably, being taken out about the middle of the first half. His play at Northwestern, where he scored two of the four touch downs, more than redeemed him. Team Week on Taeklln. As a whole the work of the "varsity this week has been disappointing though It Is true that some Improvement was noticed the last few days. The men seem lament ably weak on tackling, often letting the fast freshmen backs run through them tor yards. It took three days for the line to olve the Minnesota plays as taught to the freshmen by "Meg" Driver. Whether they will be able to stop the originals Is a matter of much speculation here at pres ent. There Is no lack ot good coaching. Be sides his regular assistant, Arne Lerum. Coach Berry has the services of "Biddy" Rogers, "Slam" Anderson and Dr. Dean, all star ends of former Minnesota elevens. John Mesamer, probably the greatest ex ponent of the forward pass the west hat ever seen, la also expected to put In an ap pearance next week, and other alumni have ignlfled their Intention of coming out. Dr. McCarthy la on the field every night work ing his hardest. Doc's hobby is speed. He thinks any team that can't run off twe plays a second ought to retire to the tall grass. It Is also admitted that the material Is the best in yeara, but the men do not seem to play together the way they should. One week more remains to remedy this. It will be a trying week for coaohes, players and Student body. The one ray ot hope In the local situation is that, with McGovern out of the game, little fear la felt of drop- kloked goals. If the Gophers score they will have to push the ball all the' way over. On the other hand, Wisconsin has no de pendable kicker. Anderson will probably be relied upon to do the punting, since Captain Wilce la still pothered with a stiff knee. Bets Favor Mlnnesotn, A few bets have been registered on the game. The present odds are 2 to 1 on Min nesota. Unless there is some marked Im provement they will probably be 1 to 1 by the day of the game. A larger crowd Is expected even than was at the Chicago Wisconsin game last year. Extra bleach ers are being erected to seat a total of 8,- 000 people. Although most of the fans believe the Minnesota game will settle the western championship, there aroa few hopefuls at Chicago who see a chance tor a triple tie In case Wisconsin defeats the Gophers and Is later worsted by the Maroons. Coaoh Stagg, however, does not think the' Badg ers have a ohanee against the Northern ers. It Is felt here that Wisconsin will easily defeat Chicago, whatever the out come ot the Minnesota game may be. A monster mass meeting for the Minne sota game will be held In the gymnasium Thursday night. Monument for General Thayer War Department Request State to Make Suitable Appropriation Therefor.
