games have already been arranged,
which will take place in this city, chief
of which arc those with the University

'over any team 10 the world. not by a

Missouri talked the same way when they
bad the famous Bliss o. Yale, however
Nebraska managed TO defeat them with
on! much difficulty.
Speaking OF Missouri recalls the de-
plorabIe condition in which she found
herself at the end of last season. Her
case shows plainly that money is very
little in the success Of foot ball. She
had money in abundance with which to
train. secure a coach and to carry on her
work. Yet she won scarcely a game.
Other teams With none OF these advan
tages made enviabIe records. She seemed
to lack the grit or the something which is
required TO develope successful team.
The school itself seems to take plenty Of
interest in the sport, but there is some
cause under lying it which is very dif-
ficult TO define. 1t seems to fall farther
every year from the class Of Kansas
Iowa and Nebraska. 1t may be the
peculiar lazinees which characters the

TO STOP THE CRUSH.
The Western Union Company
Will Run a New Copper
Wire to Chicago.
Increased Demand for News of the
Klondike One of the Main
Reasons.

The increased demand for telel raphic
facilities for transmitting the news Of the
Pacific Coast to Eastern journals has
obliged the Western Union Telegraph
Company to project new and important
enterprise.
Within few days the company will be-
gin erecting a new copper-wire system
stretching directly from this City TO Chr
cago. The company will place large
mum ber OF men on this line, and unless
some thing unforeseen happens to prevent
the wires will be in place in between sixty
and ninety days.
The wire to Chicago will be used exclu-
sively for the San Francisco news service.
and it is expect ed that the crush of teie-
graph matter now being experienced will
be opviated.
Chicago being the principal distri buting
point of the com pany, the handling OF the
Pacific Coast news Tor points further East
will be simple matter.
D. r. Davies, superintendent OF con-
siruction of the Western Union Company,
has recently returned from Chicago,
where he made arrangements for the work
from that end s well as from this.
The wire for tae line has been ordered
from New York and will be laid down
here by the time the requisite number OF
linemen are secured. The Iins will follow
the same course as the other wires OF the
Western Union Company.
One of tue principal reasons Tor the COM
pany being anxious to finish this work
Immediately is the immense amount OF
matter ordered daily by prominent East
ern journals regarding the gold discov-
cries on the Klondike.
