The Phi Delta Theta young men in

The first debate Of the series arranged
for between the Bryan Silver club and
the Mckinley Sound Money club of the
university took place in the chapel
Wednesday evening. October IS. The
room wa3 well filled. Those for sound
money seated themselves on the weet

Mr.. o. H. Allen called the meeting to

FOOT BALL NOTES.
More enthusiasm has been shown
during the last few weeks in athletics
than ever before. The school has just
wakened up to the fact that they have
foot ball team, and good one, too.
Coach Robinson is certainly the best
man that ever handled the team, be-
sides having q wonderful control over
men. He ia a puzzle as tactician.
The team is now undergoing the hardest
kind OF training, the work being prInci
paly interference and increase in speed
Of play.
Several Lincoln firms have aided the
management in financial way.
Browning. King & Co. and Paine.
Warfel & Bumstead have each Donated
ten dollars.
The Chicago Times Herald has sent
a request for photographs and person
ellie of the team.
Three elevens are now in daily prac-
tic,. The only handicap is the lack Of
suitable grounds.
October 81 Wesleyan and Nebraska
meet in conflict at Nj street park. This
promises to be one OF the most interest
ing of the season, because Wesleyan is
very strong and Frank Crawford is
coaching them, hence the rivalry is
quite intense.
There is possibility OF game on
the home grounds with the renowned
Butte Giants, and II played it will be
on November IL. The management,
however, has given nothing out as yet.
This game would give Lincoln people an
Of seeing one OF The crack
teams OF the west. A number Of other
games will be played with athletic clubs
from Council Bluffs and Nebraska City.
When the fact is considered that the
team had practically to be made this
year from the new material 1t is GER
tainly astonishing that the prospects
are so bright. Among the most prom

GIANT POWDER.

Damage At Victor,

A Terrific Explosion That Did $1,000
Damage at Victor.
Denver. Jan. CA special to the
Times says: A terrific explosion of
giant powder occurred on Victor av-
enue about 10 o'clock this morning.
Some workmen on the street were
thawing out about ten pounds of giant
powder in the vicinity of the Victor
Bank building. 1t caught fire and ex-
ploded with roar that startled the
whole city.
All the glass in the adjacent build
ings was blown out The windows in
the Victor National bank. on the cor
ner of Third street and Victor ave-
nue.. were destroyed and the Victor
Hardware company's window lights
above and below were smashed
The pOstotiice building, across the
street, in which number of stores
were located, also suffered in like man
ner and the buildings near by were
similarly damaged.
Some window lights in residence
half mile away were broken. The
total damage will reach about $1,000.
No lives We're lost, as the large
crowd of workmen and spectators, who
were near when the powder ignited,
ran precipitately from the scene.

MAY Send Shin. to Cuba.

Washington. Jan. 6.-The campaign
in Cuba is being closely observed by
the administration. In view Of the re.
iterated reports of insurgent successes
in their operations near Havana. In
the event that they actually attack the
capital of the island in force, it is
possible that the North Atlantic
squadron may be ordered to Havana
in order to be in position to guard
American interests during the dis
turbed conditions that may be ex-
pected to accompany a siege.
1t is not probable that exception
could be taken to the presence of our
vessels in such case by Spain, as IT
is customary for powers having large
interests and many citizens in a city so
beset to have some naval force present
for their protection In an emergency
as the case of Rio for instance.

Mr.. Harrison May Wed Again.

Chicago. Jan. 5.-A special from In
dianapolis says: The announcement
that ex-President Harrison will leave
for New York this week has started
anew the rumors regarding his re-
ported approaching marriage to Mrs
Dimmock, neice of his deceased wife
His friends now generally believe in
the truth Of the story, the fact that
neither he nor Mrs. Dimmock has ever
denied it having brought them to think
there is foundation in fact for the re.
port. For the last month there have
been improvements in progress on the
residence on North Delaware street,
painters and decorators being almost
constantly at work. General Harri-
sons friends eoncede that all the indi-
cations point to his early nuptials.

Purchasing an Ancestor.

1t is related of Mr.. Abraham Hay-
ward. the famous Quarterly reviewer.
that he once thought tina. he should
like to have some ancestors, so he
walked straight to wardour street,
where one can generally pick up an
ancestor or two of the Cromwellian.
Queen Anne or early Georgian period,
according to fancy. Selecting a por-
trait of cavalier in half armor, with
features not quite unlike his own, Mr..
Hayward made bid for 1t but. DEEM
ing the price asked too high. he said
he would think the matter over and
went his way. A fortnight after the
ancestral fever coming strongly upon
him, he went again to Wardour street,
prepared to pay the dealer his price.
The picture was sold-of course to an
unknown purchaser. A few days later
Mr.. Hayward went to dine with Lord
Houghton and was astonished to find
the picture in the dining room. Seeing
that 1t attracted his guests attention.
Lord Houghton said: Very good pict-
ure that! Came into my hands in a
. curious way. Portrait Of Mines of
the commonwealth period-an ancestor
of mine" "Ah, indeed" said Mr.. Hay
ward. He was very near being an an
cestor Of mine."-London Scraps

There is more than ore food
which will cause the body to
increase in weight. A free
supply Of sugar will do this;
so will the starchy foods;
cream, and some other fats.
But to become fleshy, and yet
remain in poor health, is not
what you want. Cod-liver oil
increases the weight because
1t is a fat-producing food. But
it does far more than this. 1t
alters, or changes, the pro-
cesses of nutrition, restoring
the normal functions Of the
various organs and tissues.

Senator Butler of North Carolina.

Senator Butler of North Carolina turns out
to be quite bright young man. and during
the rough and tumble debate in the Senate
yesterday made very favorable impression.
1t Is not customary, nor is 1t considered good
manners for senatorial freshman to speak
during the first term of his service but Mr.
Butler was compelled to violate the rule to
answer an attack that was made upon him
by Mr.. Harris of Tennessee. When Mr..
Harris explained In his most impressive tones
that he had not accepted an invitation to
tend a conference of the silver men In the
Senate, because he never had belonged and
never would belong to a party based upon n
single idea, Senator Butler jumped up, and
pointing his foretinger Mt the venerable sen
ator from Tennessee, replied that 1t would be
a good thing for the country II the party tC
which Mr.. Harris belonged had even one Idea
Just one" Everybody laughed and the
fiery old Tennesseean was too much aston
ished at the impetuosity of the young senator
from North Carolina to make reply.-Chi

and twice each year the appOrtiOnment
for the ensuing six months is made
out. The apportionment for this year
shows slight falling Off from that Of
last July. the total amount divided up
being in the neighborhood of $43, 600,
while this year 1t barely reaches $4O,-
600. The amount per capita is 35 cents
and 51-1OO mills.
The amount which each county will
receive is as follows:

Felix Faure has not the distinctive air
Of . noble French dame. yet 1t would
be unfair to say that she betrays in any
way her plebeian origin. She is an ac-
complished pianist, says the London
Times, and ever willing to play in the
evening. when the Faure family and
their friends are assembled in the hand
some Louis XVI. drawins-room of the
villa. It is even said that she is not
averse to charming the few leisure mo.
ments Of her father with her musical
talent when at home in his private
apartments at the Elysee. She is a
great reader. and well informed upon
the different literary movements in
France and abroad. She is brunette
and has all the paternal energetic fea-
lures. When in Paris, at the Elysee,
she takes a walk every morning and
douche bath in an establishment very
near to the presidential abode. So far

her. and walking is her only exercise

In public on thoroughbreds from his

Faure Is to be seen almost every af-
tefnoon In victoria in the Bois. With
ner pen. Mile. Lucie Faure made her
oeout IN writing criticisms of the Salon
Tor Havre newspapers. She next wrote
the account of her trip to Algeria, which
took place when the transatlantic liner,
the Isaac Periere. made its first trip
from Marseilles to Algiers. A number
OF celebrities crossed the Mediterranean
on that occasion in the new steamship,
ana among the ladies present was
Mile. Faure. who wrote the book in
question from notes taken during the
Journey and in Algiers. A limited num-
DER OF copies Of the little volume were
printed, so that at the present moment
they are rare. At the time the book was
mentioned favorably by some OF the
critics, and considered a meritorious
work. 1t proved that its author had
plenty Of Imagination, and was not de-
void Of esprit; on the whole. 1t was in
teresting. 1t is not likely that she will
publish anything more for some years to
come. though it is probable that she has
penned another book. Mile Lucie
Faure's toilets have been described as
much as those of any European princess
after any society event. and sometimes
before. They are, as a rule, simple in
design, and come from the work-rooms
Of the leading Partisan dressmakers.
