UNION GENERALS SPECIAL
Large Crowds Greet 1t at Various Ne
braska Towns.

Lincoln, Sept. 3O.-The fight of the
Union generals across the state of Ne
braska yesterday was the signal for the
massing of great crowds along the
route of the party and cheers and other
manifestations of enthusiasm greeted
Generals Sickles, Howard, SigeI Alger
and Tanner at all stations. Brief
speeches We're made at Hastings and
other towns.
When the special arrived at Hastings
and was yet within a block of the sta
ton, the engineer was obliged to slow
up his locomotive, so great was the
crowd, which covered the track in
front and surrounding the deptOt. eager
to shout welcome to the chieftains
The train arrived in Lincoln at $40
p. m. A magnificent reception was ac-
corded the veterans. The affair was
under G. A r. auspices. Possibly 20
600 people heard the speaking and the
streets were lined with cheering multi
tudes

Pennsylvania Probably Has the
Best Eastern Eleven.
Harvard's Line Is Considered
Very Shaky.
YALE is AWFUL WEAK.
Cornell Has Too Many New Men
to Even Guess.
University of Missouri Has the
Strongest Team of. Its History.

Chicago, Sept. 3O.-The division that
existed between the quartette of foot
ball leaders last year prevented a fair
comparison OF the teams as all did not
play against each other.
Yale, the former champion and irwin
chile leader. is threatened this fall with
the weakest team she has had for
years and the outlook for the blue is
decidedly discouraging at this time.
Pennsylvania promises to have the
strongest team of the year, having 50
many of her former players to depend
upon, though Princeton and Harvard
both have a large number of promising
candidates.
Pennsylvania army of foot ball
players, is probably, at the present
time at least, the strongest lot of
rushers, tacklers and kickers in the
east. The Quakers' strength this fall
will be largely in the experience of
their men.
Forty candidates for the Princeton
eleven are now in active training down
on the varsity pIayfeld. Coaches
Johnnie Poe, '95, and Professor Fine
are drilling the men in kicking, catch
ing, punts and rudimentary plays pre-
paratory to lining up
At Harvard Coach Waters is con-
frOnted with a more difficult task in
developing a winning team than it was
expected would be the case at the
close of last season. It was then
thought the line would remain intact,
but four vacancies have developed.
Holt, who played at left guard, has en-
tered Princeton this year, and neither
of the tackles will be in their places, as
Rice has not returned and Gould win
not play foot ball again.
Captain Beachman of Cornell win
not at present venture any positive
statement with regard to the prospects
of his team during the coming season.
He says he has not yet had sufficient
opportunity to become acquainted with
the material and that there are many
candidates yet to arrive whose play he
has not seen.
The indications are that Missouri uni
versity will have one of the strongest
elevens on the gridiron that it has ever
put in the field. Frank Patterson, who
last year played substitute end on the
Yale team, has been engaged to coach
the eleven, and active work has already
begun. He will be assisted by Charles
E. Young, captain of last years eleven.

STATISTICS OF CRIME.
They Show it is Greater in Prosper
GUS Times.

Milwaukee, Wis. Sept. 30.-At last
nights session Of the prison congress
the Rev Samuel G. Smith, lecturer on
sociology in the Minnesota state uni
versity. spoke on crime in its relation
to economics.
Mr.. Smith in starting out said that
statistics taken in England showed that
crime was greater during the eras of
prosperity than during the time of bust
ness depression. This, he said, was in
part explained by the fact that during
times of prosperity drunkenness and
dissipation led up to the committing of
crimes. He said that the statement
to the effect that crime had increased
in the United States while it had de-
creased in Europe was entirely a fall
lacy. His observations had shown him
that the greatest quantity of crimes
were committed by the most advanced
and morally most progressive nations.
For instance the EngIshman was much
more addicted to crime than the East
Indian This was due to the fact that
the East Indian was one of an old ma
ton satisfied to go along in his es-
tablished way. He did not take to
drink

Gentlemen fully appreciate the
great honor you have conferred upon
me by the announcement made by you,
on last Wednesday: That the Demo-
Gratis, the PopUlists and the Free Sill
yer Republicans had unitedly, and
unanimously, chosen me as their can
didate for representative of the Thir-
ty-sixth legislative district.
Upon receiving the first information
of your action through the daily pa
pers, felt that I could not, under any
circumstances, consent to accept the
honor conferred. But since then the
pressure has been so great, not only
from the organizations which you rep
resent but, also, from my many old
time Republican friends the independ-
ent voters, and the tax payers and bus
mess men of our city, that see no al
tentative but to yield, most reluctant
", to your united requests. and say:
That I will stand as your and their
candidate for representative for this.
the Thirty-sixth legislative district, at
the ensuing November election
AS the Kansas legislator has but lit
tie to do with the national questions
which are now so greatly agitating
the American people, it would be time
wasted for me to attempt a discussion
of these questions. Therefore I viii
only promise, that, if your election
shall be ratified by the voters at the
polls at the November election, and

of my ability faithfully discharge the

Please convey my sincere thanks to
those whom you represent, and accept
for yourselves the assurance of my
best wishes and regards.
Very truly yours,
