Minnesota's gridiron warriors will leave
for Iowa City tomorrow night at 1885
over the st. Louis road for the game with
Iowa university Saturday afternoon. The
original plan was for the team to leave
Friday night but the management de-
cided that a good nights rest before the
game was essential. and that this rest
could not be secured if the eleven's spe-
cial car was hitched behind noisy eX-
cursiOn train.
DR.. Williams has been working the go
piers hard this week, with especial ref
ercnce to bracing up the line and inject
ing speed into the plays. Save In the
first game of the year. that with the Cen
trail high school. the gophers have never
shown q reasonably fast attack, one of
the most essential requisites for a win
ming team. This defect the coaches hope
will be corrected before Saturdays game.
Among the Minnesota men the wolf
stories sent out by the Iowa City CORE
spondents are regarded as 'stalls' and
the gopher players neither hope nor eX-
pect that the haWkeye eleven will be be-
low champion form Saturday. Football
coaches are VIGOROUSLY pessimistic just
before the big games Of the season.
RUSH FOR SEATS.
Chicago, Oct. 22.-NeVer before III the history
of football in the west has so much interest been
exhibited there is at present In the COM
ing Michigan Wisconsin game. For the past
week the alumni of both institutions have
flooded the Chicago headquarters with applica-
tons for seats. There is great rivalry be-
tween the old graduates to swell the number
of seats for their respective universities. At the
present time, Wisconsin has little the best
of it in the number of seats ordered. However,
the Michigan list has been gaining during the
last two days.
The sale up to date surpasses all previous
records. When stops to consider that the
game Is played almost one month before Thanks
giving, the great call for seats is really sur
prising. The sales amount to 81. 400,
which Is three times as much as for either OF
the Thanksgiving games at corresponding time
last year, and twice much for the great
game played at the West Side ball park in 1899,
between Michigan and Wisconsin,, which holds
the record of being the largest attended game
ever played in Chicago.

should be directed against the railroad
company.
Mr.. Crandall, from the union commit

MARRIED
Action Of Nebraska Lothario Creates
Much Excitement.

has it been 50 excited as it is now over
the marriage of Miss Gallo Butler,

A. A. Palmer, aged 65, a respectable
old widower, and a brother Of his
brides grandmother and an W. uncle
of her father, who has six children by
his first wife living down in Kansas.
1t is recalled now that Mr.. Palmer
had been paying a good deal of atten-
ton to Miss Butler for some time be
fore their marriage, but nothing was
thought of it on account of their rela-
tionship and the great disparity in
their ages.
Living at the home of her father, as
he did, he had exceptional UppOrtuni-
ties to pay court without arousing sus-
picion. Last September Mr.. Palmer
and Miss Butler came down to Omaha

and were married.
They said nothing about the mar

Cases of Enoch Ardens in real life
are not very frequent. but Il occa-
~sionally appears. and the latest is in
Connecticut. Five years ago Jacob
Watrous was forced by poverty to
leave home In the search of fortune.
He found his way to the klondike, and
recently he made a rich strike. Wait
ing only long enough to realize a
large sum of money he returned to
Meriden to join his wife and boy. He
was driven to his former home in a
carriage at night, with an intention to
surprise his wife. Listening at the
door he heard his intimate friend Tur-
ner call young Jacob to supper. The
lad replied, Yes. papa in a
rous learned that his wife, heal
ing of his death, had married his
friend and was happy. At once re
solving not to interfere with her hap
piness. Watrous left the place with the
intentions Of going back to the klon-
dixie. He urged those with whom he
had spoken not to let the fact OF his
being alive become known to the wife.
but Of course there we're some who
could not refrain from giving voice to

PER DIEM PLAN FAVORED
OFFICIALS OF IMPORTANT ROADS
WILL VOTE FOR ITS ADOPTION.
The Big Four's New Engines VIII BE
Delivered i'm JuIy-E. A. Ford Ex-
plains Recent Statement.

The general understanding is that the
railroads will eventually adopt the per diem
plan of payment for use of cars when off
their own lines, and tina at the meeting
in New York of the American Railway
Association on April % definite action may
be taken. Roads that have an ample supply
Of cars for their business are annoyed by
the present system Of using cars. Especially
is this true Of systems like the Pennsyl-
vania, the Vanderbilt lines and the strong
Northwestern lines. Their large supply of
the most modern cars make its equipment
very acceptable TO the roads having few
and inferior cars. The main trouble is with
small lines. They receive the cars con-
tanning a shipment for a point they reach
and then keep them an indefinite time on a
siding until there is some business for them
10 handle on their way back or TO some
other point. A car is often, if not care
fully watched, kept in this way out of the
service of the railroad owning II for weeks
at a time. The payment being on a mile
age basis the railroad taking this advan-
tage does not have TO pay for the long
delays upon sidings. Were a system of
payment or the number Of days the car
is delayed, instituted. however, the larger
roads believe the small lines will be quick
TO get the expense off their hands.

WITHERELL'S TRIAL.
Retired Army officer who Is Accused
of Duplicating Pay Vouchers.

DETROIT, Mich. April 16.-At to-day's
session of the court-martial which is trying
Charles T. Witherell. L. S. A, retired, on
the charge of duplicating his pay vouchers
for November and December, 1901, and jan
uary, 1902, the defense's witnesses were ex-
amined. Gen. Henry r. Miner, of Detroit.
testified to Witherelrs good army record
and also TO his recent loss of memory. He
thought he should have a guardian ap-
pointed. Captain Witherell himself then
took the stand. He admitted duplicating
the vouchers in question, but said il was
done at a time when he was pressed for
money as the result of betting on the races
and that the duplicates were given more as
surety than with any idea of fraud. He
said that he has since paid the duplicate
vouchers and that neither the holders of
them nor the government has lost any
thing on the transaction. Captain Wither-
ell also testified that a wound I'm his head
received during the civil war had troubled
him much and caused him to lose his mem
DRY. other witnesses testified to Wither-
ellis excellent record in the army during
the civil war and later in Indian campaigns.
Captain O'Donneli agreed with General
Miner that a guardian should be appoint
ed. Sergeant Anness testified to Witherells
horism during a yellow fever epidemic at
Fort Brown.
