BETS ARE MADE ON
THANKSGIVING CANE.

Already there are a number OF bets
made in the tri-cities on the result of
the Iowa-Northwestern game here
Thanksgiving. Football authorities
all concede that Iowa has the stronger
eleven and will most likely be vic
torious in the coming contest, but
boasts by the supporters of the Hawk
eye colors that the Chicagoans will
not score has aroused the patriotism
of the local friends of the latter and
there will probably be some lively
betting on this point. VIII Sweeney,
an alumnus of Northwestern, said
today that the Chicago team was
going to make better showing than
it is expected to. He does not look
for it to win over Iowa, but is salts
fed it will at least score.
In addition to the entertainment at
the Rock Island Club Thanksgiving
night, which will of course be the main
event, a mum Der of minor socials are
being arranged for the visiting teams
by the society people of the three
cities.
The board of control of athletics al
Iowa State university yesterday re-
ceived an offer from Wisconsin for a
post-season game of football to be
played in Chicago Dec. s. The board
as vet has taken no action in regard
to the matter, and will carefully con-
slider every phase Of the question be
fore making it's decision, which will
be announced early next week. Pres
ident MacLean and a Majority of the
board of control are opposed to a
post-season game, but are willing to
consider this proposition and leave
the answering, in a measure, to the
mem bcrs of the team. Should the
offer be accepted, every memb Der OF
the team would have to vote in favor
of it, as the game would prolong the
season and the consent of every play
err must be had. The management
will not urge the players to answer
either yes or no.
TIE players seem to be divided and
before taking any definite action will
wait for the board, which is composed
of faculty members. to decide. There
is a popular demand that the game be
played, and were the men Statistic d
that the contest would defin de =
eide the championship they would be
unanimous in voting to play. An
offer from Minnesota would have been
more acceptable than from Wiscon-
sin, as Iowa considers that Mime
sofa has the best record. AS Wis
consin has spoken first it will,
however, receive the first consider
alton, and in all probability be given
the game desired.

OOLL|VER IS HEARD
United States Senator From Iowa
Speaks at Augustana
College.
DEVELOPMENT OF INSTITUTIONS
Says War With Spain Gave Ma
ton Prestige and Credit
in the World.

j. P. Dolliver. United States sena-
tor from Iowa. received a warm
welcome last night at Augustana
college, where he spoke under the
auspices of the lecture bureau on
the development of American in
situations and government. On the
platform with the speaker was Hon.
c. j. A. Ericsson, of Boone, Iowa.
MIR. Dolliver said that the preparation
and signing of the declaration of in
dependence was but the expression in
concrete form of what had already en-
tered deep into the minds and hearts
of the people, and had been prepared
by them and given expression in vary
ing forms by their courts and press. In
the events eliminating in Bunker Hill,
Concord, etc., and the declaration OF
independence. the speaker saw man.
Hesitation of the divine purpose in or
dering the destiny of the new CONT
nent.
The rebellion destroyed slavery,
which had prevented the perfect evo
luton of the national destiny, and
cleared the way for the later and bet
ter generation. For the speaker was
persuaded, from a consideration of
the record which can here be merely
referred to. that in everything that
ministers to their true dignity, the
people of today enjoy an immeasur-
able advantage over past generations.
The man never stood for so much and
the dollar for so little. And the ma
tional life is but reflection of that of
the individuals composing it, for it
has been truly said that nation is a
moral personality. From this point of
view the speaker discussed the events
of recent history. A nation has re-
sponsibilities toward the world, as the
individual has to his neighbors. But
until the clank of the slaves chain
was no longer heard in the land the
nation was not in position to meet the
obligation imposed upon it by it's OPP
porIunities for benefitting mankind.
The war with Spain not only removed
the remaining vestiges of sectional
ism, but gave the nation the prestige
and credit in the world which will
make the light of our institutions
more effective from year to year in
establishing the aristocracy of true
manhood in every part of the earth.
Prominent Republican.
Senator Dolliver is a brilliant and
eloquent orator. He is one of Iowa S
brightest sons and leading repu bill
cans. He was prominent before the
Philadelphia convention as vice
presidential candidate, and would
probably have been nominated had
not the powers that be forced Roose-
welt to accept. When Senator Gear
died Mr.. Dolliver was appointed to
the United States senate by Gov.
Shaw.

BURNS At THE HEAD
Former Rock islander Genera
Master Workman of Knights
of Labor.
WILL PUT LIFE INTO THE ORDER
Believed Other Organizations Will
Now Affiliate With
Ii.

In Wednesdays ARGUS a Pittsburg
dispatch was published telling of the
selection of Simon Burns. formerly of
this city, as leader of the Hayes fac
ton OF the Knights of Labor. The
following from the Pittsburg Leader
would indicate Mr.. Burns is the execu-
tive head of the whole order:
President Simon Burns, of the
Window Glass Workers association,
was elected general master workman
of the Knights of Labor at the general
Assem- bly, of the order, closing at Bir-
mingham, Ala, Saturday night. The
other officers elected at the general
assembly were as follows: General
worthy foreman, Leslie Mcconnell, of
Alabama; general secretary-treasurer
John w. HAYES, of Washington, d. c. ;
general executive board, j. ID. Cham
berlain. Colorado; T. o. Reilly, New
York; j. IL. Sanderson, Indiana.
Gives G sneraI Satisfaction.
The selection of Simon Burns as
general master workman is, from the
general labor standpoint, a satisfac-
tory one. 1t is claimed that under
his leadership the organization will
be benefited. Since the retirement of
T. V. Powderly Pennsylvania has not
had representation in the general
master workman's chair. The selec-
tion of the president of the glass
workers may result, it is claimed, in
attracting a number of organizations
to affiliate with the Knights of Labor.
A well-known labor leader, in speak
ing of the appointment of Burns,
said: Burns is an able, fearless,
honest man, and will insist on mat
tiers being conducted squarely in the
Knights of Labor or he will tear il
into tatters. His election means q
renewal of life in one of the oldest
labor organizations crippled by inter.
nal feuds.'r
