In view OF the excellent showing made by
the Nebraska university foot ball team in
the game with Drake at Des Moines last
week there is strong probability that Kan
sas will be defeated on the campus here
next Saturday. The practice of the varsity
team this week has been devoted mainly to
the perfection of some new and fast plays.
There has been more enthusiasm in the
student ranks since the game with Drake
and for several days squads have been prac-
ticing new yells and songs for use Satur-
day. Kingsbury is out for practice again
and is playing a good game and in all prob
ability will occupy a position in the line
against Kansas next Saturday.

feet deep and the water in the well is
about three feet deep. A tank made of
any suitable material is put in connec-
ton with the city main or the supply
from tank. The outlet pipe ends near
the bottom of the tank, insuring the
coolest part of the supply being deliv-
cred in the house. The device is simple
and can be made by any plumber or
steam filter. Often wells have been
abandoned when the town or city has
put in system of water supply, and
they can be utilized to cool the water
from the mains. After wells have be-
come somewhat contaminated, making
the use of such water questionable from
sanitary point of view, they can be
fitted with the device we have described
with perfect safety, provided all the
connections are tight In winter the

ter, and in Mr.. Young's plant the water

The Care of Oak Furniture.

Oak furniture is better for being
rubbed with linseed oil, in which some
alkanet root has been stepped, and then
brushed with brush stiff enough to get
into every crevice of the carving. Or
dinarily an application of beeswax and
polishing cloths is sufficient, but the oil
and the root preserve the wood and keep
the furniture in excellent color and ap-
pearance. The time-honored beesway
and turpentine, used by our grandmotk
ers for polishing furniture, is still as
good polisher as can be found.

HOUSEHOLD DON'TS.
Things One should Not Do I'm Well
Ordered and Truly Well-Fur-
nished House.

Truth publishes few ''don'ts' that
might well be recommended to the
young housekeeper:
Don't ornament your table in mixed
color of embroideries. The well-ap-
pointed board is one in which tone is
well carried out, not only in the needle
work, but in the floral decorations.
Don't dress your walls with conflict
ing colors. A fine background for pic
lures is cartridge paper of a solid
tint. which, as foil, will show off any
subject which tends as decoration.
Don't buy a piece of furniture be-
cause it is lone of the latest styles"
The artistic home-maker knows that
fashionable furnishings are often
crude, and that an atmosphere may be
given by the homeliest of appoint
ments, provided the placing is a right
one. Don't select covers in which there
is oyerelaboration of design. Quiet
tones are always the best; they do not
intrude. are restful, and generally hold
their own.
Don't let your rug be one of loud pat
tern: remember it is the foundation OF
your color scheme, and often the charm
of your room.
Don't serve your food on china dishes
of different make; give the pure white
ware. with the ordinary gilt band,
precedence above all others. Let your
decorations be in your damask, en-
broideries and flowers.
Don't let your kitchen be work
room only. For the convenience OF
YOUR maid, let there he an easy-chair;
in ore corner put a looking glass, In
the other a timepiece. If there is an
unused door, make it pretty closet
by setting in the framework some three
or four shelves, which, when painted,
make tidy place for odds and ends OF
table ware.
Don't decorate your rooms with pho-
tographs, either of your friends, OF
actresses, or of people you don't know.
In every house there should be folio
large enough to hold these treasures.
Don't hang your pictures too high
or too low; recolect the level OF the eye
is the correct guide. Don't fill up your
walls with poor prints; one good etch-
ing is worth dozen such.
Don't purchase furnishings merely
for their own beauty. Bear in mind
the room in which they are to be placed,
and above all their relation to other ef-
fects.
Don't buy over-ornamental pots for
your plants; they should serve as foils
rather than attract too much attention
in themselves.

FOUND BY ACCIDENT.
The Strange Case of Harvey w.
Rogers, of Buffalo, N. Y.
Left His Comfortable Home Twenty
Three Years Ago and Has Since

less Wanderers.
rsneoial Washington Letter.l

Students of mental philosophy are
often baffled when they try to explain
some of the peculiar workings OF the
human intellect. There are ample evil
dences of the fact that some men nave
dual natures; and many men OF re-
search and profound thought believe
that every human being is so endowed.
Some Investigators claim that each
lobe OF the brain is in some degree IN
dependent of the other, and that good
Impulses come from one lobe OF the
brain. while bad impulses come from
She other. Some scientists assert that
if subjects could be found, who would
permit surgical operations, so that one
lobe of the brain might be removed,
in that manner they could discover
which is the good and which the bad
side of the human thinking machinery.
Lapses of memory are we'll authenu-
Gated, and intellectual freaks abound
in the daily experiences of observant
men.
Twenty-three years ago last Septem-
Der Harvey w. Rogers, railroad sta
ton agent at Hamberg, suburb OF
Buffalo, n. Y, left his position, home,
friends and a comfortable fortune to
90 to the Centennial exposition in
Philadelphia. He has since been
wanderer up and down the country,
from one extreme to the other, but has
never returned to his home. Not once
in that time did he communicate with
his relatives, and they, hoping almost
against hope that he was still alive,
have been steadfastly searching for
him for more than a score of years.
Their diligence was rewarded one day
recently, when meeting between
Rogers and his family was effected at
the office of his attorney in this city.
1t was through the efforts of the lat
ter that Rogers sisters were enabled
to find their long-lost brother and that
they came here from Buffalo TO meet
him. Their recognitions were mutual,
and while the women wept for joy, the
old man was so overcome by emotion
that for a few moments he could hard
1y speak
The story of the eventful life of the
old man, now GO years of age, is an inter-
esting narrative. His father was
well-to-do farmer in Erie county, and
possessed a fine tract of land in what
is now growing suburb of Buffalo.
When Rogers was boy the land was
reckoned TO be worth about $50 an
acre; now 1000 would scarcely pur-
chase that much of it. When young
man he enlisted in the Ninth New York
cavalry, and served throughout the
civil strife. There the romance of his
nature developed. The home life was
