In Scrap ni Karnbrr Mar n
Expelled F1wF Deds
Arc Destroyed.
LINCOLN. Nab.. Oct. 7. (Special Tele
Si am.) Members of tba freshmen and
sophomore class wag ad a battla Friday
morning on the campua of the state uni
versity, In which over 200 men partici
pated. Minor brulrca wero received by
many and clothes badly torn. Flower
VcJs were destroyed, the firs escape on
University hall was torn loose and some
twenty members of the university stand
liable for expulsion at the mercy of Chan
cellor Avery.
The fight was the most spectacular In
the history of the university, several boys
fighting on the fire escapes some fifty
feet from the ground nnd taking- perilous
chances at being thrown to the ground
below. Chancellor Avery immediately
deputed several faculty members as spe
cial officers and directed that the names
of the participants be taken. Just what
action the chancellor will take In the mat
ter la largely speculative The outburst
camo Just before th'e day set apart for
the Olympics, the annual class se:aj be
tween the two lower classes. During the
night some of tho sophomores stole a
march and placed a flag on top of Ne
braska hall. This resulted In tho fight,
the freshmen resenting the action of the
snphomores. No one was seriously In
jured In tho scrap, although black eyes
and blcody noses were numerous. The
freshmen paraded the Lincoln streets
after the fight.
As the result oft the fight five boys will
not be allowed to participate In the
Olympics. Among the boys forbidden to
participate by Chancellor Avery Is Kol
ert Davis, a son of Dean Davis. The
others are A. F. Andrews, H. D. Pier,
Phillip Klina and L'. A. Townsend. These
five were the leaders in the raising of
the sophomore flag which resulted In the
ecrap. Chancellor Avery decided to lot
tho offenders off with a light punishment,
altlfough expulsion could have been ordered.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. ?7. -(Special.) Interest
in tho last day of registration showed
much Increase in the city today and mem
bers of ths county committees of both
parties arc much encouraged over the
outlook. The lethargy shown so far by
the votcra has aroused the candidates to
a sense of their own peril and the conse
quent activity is In no small measure due
to the efforts of these.
MAN TAKEN TO BROKEN BOW
FROM OMAHA IS RELEASED
, KllOKEN BOW, Neb., Oct. 27.-(Spe-clal.)
A. L. Case, apprehended by the
Omaha police on Information furnished
by Sheriff Kennedy of this place and
Mipposod to be the party wanted on a
charge of conversion of property, waa
brought here today for Identification.
Three reliable people who were brought
In contact with the alleged whisky agent
when he was here about two months ago,
went to the sheriff's office where Case
was held and failed to identify him as
the man' who disappeared with Shep
pard's team. This Indicated to the offi
cers that the real offender, who went by
the name of Crowberger while here. Is
still at large, and apparently further
away from arrest than ever. Case took
his arrest very calmly and said his reg
ular line of business was acting as treas
urer for tbo Farmers Produce associa
tion, whose headquarters are at Omaha.
He admitted, however, that tho concern
Is Htiil in Its infancy, having only been
started lust month. Being unable to
I, old the man without positive Identifica
tion the sheriff placed him on an evening
train and started him toward Omaha.

The cold-blooded exchange of your dollars for our mer
chandise is not the fundamental principle. It is founded on broader lines
those of mutuality. We arc here to make a living to be sure but we
are here to satisfy you first. By satisfying you we grow by leaps and
bounds. We could, if we so desired, tack on an extra dollar or so to
to every garment we sell ami then not four competition. Wo could carry merchandise
over from season to season at greater profit to. ourselves. We could employ incompetent
salesmen, at small salaries, who would misfit you. Wo could employ men, reckless in tho
handling of truth, to deceivo you and get your money by misrepresentation. Wo could al
low discounts to some and mako it up on strangers. Wo could charge higher prices ami
pay commissions to runners. Hut wo do none of these things, nor do wo say that all other
stores do all these things. That is our explanation of this store's wonderful popularity. It's
a store worth knowing.

WEST POINT. Neb., Oct. 77.-(Special.)
Colonel J. C. Elliott, republican nominee
for congress fruin the Third Nebraska
district, Is this week actively campaign
ing in Colfax, Platte and Merrick coun
ties. Wherever Mr. Elliott goes ho finds
enthusiastic support and encouragement.
The party workers were never more ac
tive end there never was a time when
prospects looked brighter than at the
present. Everywhere alone the line Mr.
Elliott finds opportunities to puncture
the glaring misstatement of his demo
cratic opponent and Incidentally to con
firm and bring home to the people the
principles set forth in hta platform pub
lished by him at the commencement of
the campaign. This statement of his
political position and views la so plain
und concise, so comprehensive and thor
ough thut he who runs may read. It
has been received eo favorably through
out the state that many of the newspa
per of tho district have reprinted it In
full. Mr. Stephens finds it unanswerable
und therefore is obliged to have recourse
to vituperation und vllllfication of the
lepubllcan party generally and the presi
dent In particular, as his campaign
material.
