LIKELY TO BEREGORD MONTH
Omaha Grain Exchange Beporti
Such Outlook for December.
MOST OF IT GOES SOUTHWARD
Kesblpmrnt of Wheat and Corn from
the Omaha Market la Generally
In a Southern Dt-rectlnn.
December promisee to be the record
month In the history ot the Omaha drain
exchange and If the laat half keeps the
pace set by the first half, the receipt
will bo not far from doublo those of any
former similar period.
So far this month, Including the
celnts of Monday, 2,(33 carloads, or close
to 3,000,000 bushels of train haa come to
the Omnha market and been handled by
the dealers here. During the same period
the shipments have totaled 2,950 cars, or
moro than 3,000,0(10, most of tho cam
carrying something over 1,000 bushels
each.
Up to this time this month the receipts
ot corn have greatly exceeded the total
ot all other kinds 'of grain, It amounting
to 3,063 carloads. The south has taken
practically all of the corn, not to exceed
ten cars of the 2,063 having gono to Chi
cago.
In hauling grain Into Omaha the Mis
souri Pacific has had tho little end of
the transaction, having handled but three
cars, but out It has done about as much
business as all tho other roads combined.
It has taken 1,103 carloads ot grain to
fit. Louis, the gulf ports and the coun
try along Its southern linen.
So tar aa getting the grain from tho
Omaha market. Chicago's relation to the
wheat and oats -shipments are practically
the same as pertain to the corn. Most of
the wheat has gone south and west, with
a few cars going to Minneapolis. Bo far
this month of the 212 cars of oats In and
413 cars out and the Sit cars ot wheat In
and (S3 cars out, Chicago has not re
ceived a bushel, something that has never
occurred In a like period since the Omaha
market became a fact
Basket Ball is Quiet
at the ITni of Omaha
Baaket ball at tho University of Omaha
In practically at a standstill as far as
the varsity team la concerned. Things
were rounding up In great shape until
recently when Clinton Haliey. manager
of the team, was forced to give up his
work at the school for an Indefinite
period because of a serious Injury he re
ceived to his back earlier In the season.
31i Injury has become so serious that
thero Is small chance of his returning to
school this season. At present his back
is In a plaster cast.
Assistant Manager High has been look
ing after the baaket ball affairs, but aa
yet has done little toward scheduling
Ktmem. There are a number of reciprocal
mmee offered with surrounding univer
sities, but no contracts have been closed
ee far. Some of the colleges offering
mmee and who will probably be played
tWa season are Tarklo, Nebraska, Wee
leyan, Cottier, Hastings and Doane. A,
Bme will also be tried to be arranged
with the University of Nebraska.
Aa yet the matter of securing a basket
bH ceaeh for the varsity squad la up In
the air. The athletic board haa a num
ber of men under consideration for the
peertte. The latenew In securing a baa
Jet bail eeach Is keeping the progress of
the varsity squad behind more than any
other cause. Active practice will start
Tuesday evening and will be tinder the
direction of Mr. Tablsca, until a regular
cmcX haa been secured.

Preparation 'or the MM base ball sea
on In this city have been going on
quietly since the close of last season.

members of the team that were here
last season, and has signed Pltchera Ce
cil Hurt of Oklahoma and 8am Stubbs
ot Kansas. William Johnson, a first
baseman frpm the Teias leaifiie, haa alia
been secured. President Felt of the No
hfMfc State league haa written that the
anwtal meeting of tho directors will not
be heW wntll after the botUaya, at which
time fefftcera wM be eleeted and other
busmnaa at the league' disposed of. From
present Indications ' the same cities will

CRESCENTS DEFEAT THE
ATHLETICSJN FAST GAME
The Crescent baaket ball team defeated
the Thorpelan Athletics in a one-sided
game Monday evening at the Young
Wen's Christian association by a score
of 15 to 8. The crescents had the better
of the argument In all stages of the
game, outplaying their opponents In easy
fashion. At no time ot the game did the
Thorpe Una have much of a chance
against their more experienced opponent
aad only saved themselves from a shut
out by the fortunate basket and tree
throw made by Root and Schatx.
Michigan Accepts
Crimson's Dare to
BattleNext Fall
ANN AIUJOIVMtch., Dec. 11 Michigan
haa accepted Harvard's Invitation to play
foot ball at Cambridge next fall and the
contest will be staged October 11. A tele
gram wait received today by the uni
versity athletlo board from Fred V.
Moore, graduate manager ot athletics at
Harvard, agreeing to the latter date.
The principal opposition encountered to
the plan at Ann Arbor was based on the
fact that It would give Michigan tour
successive games away from home.
The scheduling of the crimson dates
gives Michigan a complicated and un
satisfactory series ot games for next
year.
According to the schedule aa it now
stands, Caso will open the season at
Ann Arbor October 8 and will bo followed
by Vanderbllt, October 10. Then come
fcur games away from home Michigan

STIEHM DECLINES FOOT
BALL PROMOTERS SCHEME
LINCOLN, Dec It (SpeclaL-M. I
Demrick of Ottawa, Kan., who styles
himself a promoter, haa somewhat ot tho
det-riich-Qulck Wallngford methods
when It comes to foot ball.
He haa written oCach Btlehm of tho
University of Nebraska foot ball toam
for a game with the Cornhuskera on
Christmas day at Kansas City In the
baso ball park there, preferably with
Missouri. Demrick outlines his scheme
in detail, which Is to give Nebraska a
quarter of tho gnto receipts, Missouri an
other quarter, allow the expenses to be
taken out of the remainder and then keep
the balance to compensate him for hla
effort. He figures that 14,000 people
would attend tho gamo at U admission.
Domrlck'n little plan would bring the
Huskurs a trifle over ROOO and allow the
Tigers a like amount, while his share of
the proceeds would amount to something
like S,W0.
Coach Btlehm declined the offer with
thanks.

Frenchman Trying
to Beat the Church
is Himself Cleaned
August Aebon, Frenchman, employed In
the grocery department 6f Courtney's"
store, fell Into tho company of a strange
fellow countryman Monday afternoon,
who, after a mutual exchango of greet
ings, mado Aebon acquainted with still
another native of Frnnco; said meetings
and Introductions In tho end costing
Aebon Just S500 In good American money.
It seems that over a bottle of wine, the
third Frenchman Imparted tho informa
tion that hla father m California hod left
him J150.000 with a proviso that 330,000 bo
given to the church.
Aebon and his friends thought the pro
viso a waste ot money, and In time the
three agreed that Aebon and tho second
Frenchman pay the third $300 each for the
privilege of splitting the J.10,000.
The entire amount, including the $30,000
and tho extra $1,000, wore placed In a
suit case for further dlsrosol, Aebon
being allowed to keep tho suit case while
hla new found friends "went around the
corner." They never came back, and
Aebon, opening the grip, was surprised to
find that In some mysterious manner
blank paper, tied In a roll, had been sub
stituted for the money.
Tho police are working on the case.
