SAM USHER FAILS TO NOMINATE "SHORTY" TRUSTEE OF WAKARUSA,
Hamill Will Probably Re-enter the Law School and Retire From Politics for the Present at Least —Usher Does Not Talk.
"Shorty' Hamill's effort to get office was not as successful as it might have been. In fact it wasn't successful at all; and "Shorty' soon found when he got into the field of politics that it was unlike the foot ball field, where half the game consists in weighing two hundred pounds. He found that he could shout "eat 'em up," "be game boys," and all the other football expressions which he used last year when captain of the team and yet not able to score. But the surprising fact about his defeat is that Mr. Samuel Usher managed his campaign. Indeed some people think that "Shorty" and his supporters lost the battle for trustee of Wakarusa township from the effect of over-confidence in Samuel's ability to land the prize. However that may be "Shorty" lost and is now eld of it.
There were one hundred and fifty votes polled and "Shorty" got twenty-three of these. Had there only been forty-five at the primaries, he would have secured the nomination.
When he saw that there was no chance for his nomination, he withdrew his name from the caucus and told his supporters to vote for whom they pleased. Claude Hamill, a brother of "Shorty," wrote to the defeat.
"I am glad that my brother was not nominated. He will probably re-enter the law school shortly to complete his legal education." When a WEEKLY reporter went to Mr. Samuel Usher's palatial residence on Tennessee street he found gloom and darkness and was only able to learn from a neighbor that Mr. Usher was seen to leave town the morning after his candidates defeat.
NEBRASKA IN GOOD SHAPE.
Nearly All the Old Men Are Back to Play Football.
The faculty of the Northwestern university and the "co-eds" will register for admission to the classes within the next few days, together with the sororities and fraternities of the suburban college, were divided by a deep gulf yesterday afternoon when the members of the faculty
Here are a few notes gathered from the Nebraska Hesperian:
Here are a few notes gathered from the Nebraska Hesperian:
It is still Manager Oura, if you please — It is generally conceded that Captain Shedd is the right man in the right place. Wiggins will be in his old place at right end. Coach Robinson is expected back some time next week — There is still some hope that Peerless Orlie Thorp will be in the game, — Turner said last week he wouldn't be in the game. This week he said he didn't know. Next week he has agreed to don a uniform and show the boys a thing or two about the game. Hansen will be a stronger man on the team this year than he was last. He is gingering up and rapidly losing his slowness and awkwardness. Hansen is sure to be one of the greatest football players of the west this year—Benedict, Shedd and Pearse will hold their old positions. These three with Wiggins, Turner, and Hansen make six old men back on the team. Besides Orlie Thorpe or Harry Jones may show up later. Cowgill, last year a sub situte, is showing up well. He will be a strong candidate for quarter. Stringer is almost certain to get a place on the team. He is quick, well built and heavy. Last year he played on the Beatrice high school team; Swartz and Hart are doing work. Swartz is a trifle light—"Yes," said Manager Oury to a Hesperian representative. "Coach Robinson will be back. We expect him back next week. "This," added the hot manager, "means much to the '97 foot ball team. Coach Robinson was here last year and he knows the team and its needs better than any one else."
CURFEW TO RING IN EVANSTON.
A Chicago paper has the following to say about the northwestern's idea of how to manage college women:
Severe Rules Passed for Government of "Co-ads" at Northwestern.
met and adopted a set of rules which will be a death blow to courting, society and freedom generally.
Before the classes have been called, and even before the students have to move into their quarters for the college year, printed copies of the rules are to be placed within every room of Woman's hall and the cottage, upon the bulletin boards at the dormitories, and in the university offices. They are emphatic. Italicized sections, covering revised portions of the old rules, show that the faculty will spend at least a portion of its time in enforcing its laws, and the new sections give imperative instructions to the feminine students. The newly adopted rules read:
SECTION 1. Women students enrolled as undergraduates in the College of Liberal Arts and the academy, who are not residing at their own homes, are required to room either in the hall or cottage, unless permission is granted to reside elsewhere.
Sec. 2. Women studying as undergraduates in other departments in Evanston are required to live in homes especially approved by the faculty.
SEC. 3 Authority to control absence from town on the part of the undergraduate women students in the college or academy will be in the power of the principal of the women's department; also authority to control absences after 8 o'clock p.m.
SEC. 4 Heads of approved homes are required to render monthly reports of all absences after that hour on the part of liberal arts or academy students.
Sec. 5. No permission shall be granted to undergraduates to leave town in the evening without a chaperon approved by the principal of the woman's department.
Sec. 6. Social calls from gentlemen will be permitted only on Friday and Saturday evenings, or on an evening previous to a University holiday, between the hours of 8 and 10 o'clock.
Sec. 7. No organization or group of students shall hold in any year more than one party or social entertainment at which both ladies and gentlemen are present, and then only upon permission previously obtained on the committee of social affairs. Such entertainments are to close not later than noon.
The students have not yet been informed of the restrictions that are to be in vogue during the next nine months of study. Only a portion of those who will attend have as yet arrived in Evanston, and nearly all of the rooms in Woman's hall are still unoccupied. There has been a growing tendency among the young women to pass by the hall and cottage with a scornful glance, and seek rooms with private families, where their freedom is not restricted, and where they are not continually under the watchful eyes of Dean Emily Huntington Miller.
"THEY'RE OVERCONFIDENT."
Sava Mr. Burney, Referring to the Kana-
bria City, Miey. Football Team.
"This seems like getting home again," said Mr. Claude Burney, shaking hands all around in the Weekly office. "And I can't tell you how much I like the new Weekly. It is in the form which I have desired ever since the paper was established. Coming out in this way, you can and do publish the news, and you get it up in bright, readable shape. I read the paper through every week from Bullnee's "ad" in the northwest corner of the first page to Beal & Godding's in the southeast corner of the fourth."
Mr. Burney chatted compliments in this way for awhile and then branched off upon other topics. "I notice that everything is humming in football circles," he commented, "the training table shows care and improvement." "But what do you think of the Medics?" asked a Weekly reporter.
"Their team is composed of old players," replied Mr. Burney, "who have learned everything they'll ever know about football. They are fossilized old-style. They are acting as their own coach, with the result that they have no coaching. I have no doubt that when the two teams meet Kansas will have no difficulty in scoring an easy victory. But the Medicies are supremely confident of winning and the varsity should put forth every effort."
Mr. Burney is enjoying a modest law practice in Kansas City, and just ran up for a few days to see the boys.

BRADY PRESUMES.
HIS PERSUMPTION IS LARGE. ENTHUSIASTIC AND UNCONSTRAINED.
The Editor of a Lawrence Paper Ad- dresses a Communication to Chancellor Snow Containing Sensational and Groundless Charges.
The citizens of Lawrence disgusted at the exhibition given at the religious revival in the east part of town, arose in a mob and pulled down the tent. This was an opportunity for a down town paper whose policy is antagonistic to the University to gain a little notoriety. In this connection the following letter was sent to the Chancellor. It is well to state that Mr. Brady is not the President of the United States as might be inferred.
LAWRENCE, Kans., Sept. 29, 1897.
Chancellor F. H. Snow, University of Kansas
MY DEAR CHANCELLOR—A large number of students under your control are disturbing a religious meeting in this city. I respectfully wish to call your attention to the fact and as a citizen ask you to stop it. We cannot afford to have the students of the University ruin the reputation of our city and I do not believe any of us can afford to have the University receive such an advertisement. They are under your control and I call upon you to use your influence to see that hoodlumism is surpassed. I hope you will give this matter your immediate attention. I was present at the meeting last night and saw that nearly all the disturbers were University students and they will doubtless be down in full force again this morning.
Very Respectfully,
J. L. Brady.
The Chancellor's reply was courteous:
LAWRENCE, Sept 30, 1897.
J. L. Brady, Editor the World, Lawrence
Krause
MY DEAR SIR: Yours of the 20th inst. has reached me this morning. I understand that the religious meeting to which you refer has been discontinued. I shall be very glad however, to have more definite information from you in reference to the parties who were engaged in the disturbances on the evening of September 28th, when you yourself were present. If you will kindly give me the names of the University students whom you yourself observed making a disturbance I shall be glad to take them in hand. Allow me to remark that there is too often a tendency in a University town to throw the responsibility of every disturbance of the peace in a general way upon University students. I have interviewed a considerable number of well informed citizens who have stated that in their opinion the leaders of the recent disturbances were town people rather than students. I am told that the mayor of Lawrence, the sherif of Douglas county, city marshal and the city police were present on the evening of the 28th. I should judge that these officials were fully competent to preserve the peace of the community. You will always find me ready to co-operate in any effort to secure orderly conduct on the part of our students. Please let me hear from you as above requested giving names of students whom you observed violating the peace on the evening of the 28th. Sincerely.
Up to the time of going to press, Mr Brady had sent in no names.
CHAPEL NOTES.
The subject Monday morning was the vast wealth of goodness God has in store for us, and the consequent folly of worrying over the future; Tuesday morning, the need of keeping ourselves in a condition in which we can be used by God as instruments for his purposes; Wednesday, the unlessness of prayer unless we do our part in answering them; Thursday, the necessity of knowing just what we are and are capable of doing.
The leader this week has been Rev. G.
D. Rodgers, pastor of the First Baptist
church.

THE MINNESOTA SITUATION.
the Swedes Are Showing up Well and Will be Sampler Than Ever.
Will be Snapper Than Ever.
It is beginning to dawn on the University rooters, and on the public in general, that Minnesota will put the best team in the field this season we have ever known. Nearly fifty men are out every night, and in the words of "Dad," "There is not a man among them who is not a fine specimen of physical manhood." Reports from those colleges we are to meet this year, show that, compared to us, they have, practically, no material. Wisconsin is financially embarrassed, and she has lost Karel, Richards, Atkinson and others on the team, and substitutes. Michigan has but few of the old men back, and not an over-supply of new material. With those conditions, the outcome of our season's work can hardly be doubted, if we keep things moving. We need a good center. "Twobell" is around training quarters, looking wistful and doing his best to coach the candidates for his old position. Kotlaba is still working like a Trojan, and stands a fine chance of playing that position. Gotshalh has been out several nights, and should keep at it. For guard, there is plenty of material. Ingalls, who now strips at 245 pounds, was in the line-up for the first time, Wednesday evening; and "Fin," who played against him, on the second team, found he had a lively and dangerous man to handle. Ingalls is quick, strong, and it seems but child-play to him. When he learns the game, there will be few to worry him. Smith of last years' team, was out. Thursday night, for the first time. He is bigger than ever, and is out for guard position. "Fin" is holding down his old place in fine shape. La Frans is plodding right along and will make tackle if the guard positions are filled. Gray, Parsons, Nicoullin, Tew and Reynolds are all trying for line positions and will make good substitute guards or tackles. Jack Harrison will play one end, while Clint Walker, Shepley, and Scandrell will contest for the other. It is behind the line that the thickest crop of aspirants is found, and they are all good men, so evenly matched in fact, that it's a toss-up at present as to who will win out. Cole, Woodworth, Reiley, Brown, Brooks and Poseley are maneuvering for quarter. Bernhagen, Burns, Mayo, Bagley, Leyton—a new acquisition, who played on the '95 Carlisle team, against Pennsylvania, and other eastern colleges—Carpenter, Herring, and others are on the list for half. For full-back Loomis and Evans seem to be the only men in sight. "Babe" is doing good work, but Evans must catch and kick better. He is also a little slow in getting into the game—all faults, which a little time will remove. Every man in college who can, or thinks he can play is wanted out. Harrison intends to have two teams going next week so as to give every man a show. The old men are needed to coach, and a few more are wanted out.
Harding has been engaged to coach until the first of November. "Ho" Gailibert, Fulton, Willis, Walker and Harrison are ill assisting Jerremes and "Dad" is instructing the team.—The Ariel.
THE PECULIAR CASE OF
ROBERT WILSON NEALE
Mr. Robert Wilson Neal had the best intentions in the world. He went to Gourley's tent with the laudable purpose of helping right against might. Like Mr. Pickwick it never occurred to him that his motives could be impugned; so when the noise was at its loudest, when the mob of Lawrence citizens were determined to get at the preacher and dress up or down in tar and feathers. Mr. Neal lifted up his hands also and took off his glasses. Great big Jim Monroe lifted up his hands also in the name of the law, and bet them fall down upon the shoulders of Mr. Neal.
"You are just the man we want," said Marshall Jim, as he led Neal off to jail.
It is fortunate that Mr. Neal had little trouble in proving on which side his efforts had been expended. He had been arrested for attempting to squall a riot. But the city of Lawrence must repress its treasure in some way, so other crimes was found against Mr. Neal. After he settled for this last little circumstance, he left the police court behind him forever. Mr. Neal's action was noble. I would have been a good thing if he hadn't had his gun.
