Q GOOD TEAM.
Some Good Material is Being DeveS
oped in Nebraska's SQUAD.

Lincoln, Neb., oct. 2.-When Ne
braska meets South Dakota next Sat
urday for the first real game OF the
year an opportunity will be presented
to secure a lineup on the strength of
the Corn Husker aggregation. Tha 1t
Is not as good a team as was presented
by Nebraska last a is admitted. The
1902 Corn Huskers were nearly all vet
Grams and under the coaching of Booth,
the best man in the west. they over
topped Minnesota and Northwestern
and would have given Michigan some
thing to do. This year the coach has
the task set for him to develop a full
back, a new end and a tackle.
There Is a wealth OF material, better
than In any recent year.. Each night
between forty and fifty men turn out
to the practice. out Of this mass
Booth thinks he can do well enough to
give any western team a good argu-
ment. The material Is showing good
knowledge of football and the line so
far developed Is heavier thar was at
first thought possible. Good, hard
practice in every point of the game,
winding up with a half hour of scrim-
mage work, constitutes the afternoons
work.
The chances Of Nebraska having a
frst-class team were much improved
this week when two of the old men
OF IdSI year ICluI IltO, lItSt NcIG
Wilson, who played substitute tackle
last season, and Mason, regular left
tackle. He and Mason were put upon
the scrub teams, but In q day or SO
Will appear on the varsity.
Mason brought with him his younger
brother, who has been a star player on
the high school team of Lincoln. Young
Mason has weight and speed and the
chances favor his side being able to
make the first team.
Coach Booths growing confidence is
I'm Bender, who has been moved from
halfback to quarterback, n there Is
no better football player in the west.
His interference is good, but the indi-
vidual work Of the man himself is re-
markable. Bender Is quick in passing
the ball and gets into every play with
lightning quickne5s.
Some good individual work is he.-ss
given a half dozen of the players, and
Marsh, in the backfield, is displaying
championship form. In practice ant.
regular games so far ne mas carried the
ball well and Is fleet and expert. The
team has but one good punter-and at
least no other star has yet appeared.
This is Benedict, last years quarter
back.
Two hard games are looked for with
the representatives of Colorado and
Denver colleges, and 1t is expected that
all weak points that develop with South
Dakota will be mende before the
M~ountaineers are tackled. The hardest
of all, outside of Illinois, is with the
Haskell Indians. The reds are ancient
enemies, who have usually fallen VIC
tins to Nebraska prowess, but only
after the hardest, gamest contests.

BIG ATTENDANCE AT FAIR.
The Second Day of Butte County Fair
Proved Successful.

Belle Fourche, Oct. 5.-The third
annual meeting Of the Butte county fair
Is a reminder Of conditions that pre-
vailed fifteen years ago, when the
Black Hills circuit was open. Many OF
the figures that were conspicuous under
the old regime appeaIed-some OF them
for the first time in years-and all the
old-time spirit pervaded the crowd.
There was much none In evidence n
there was cvinced on the part Of the
men with money an inclination to keep
1t in action.
There was an interesting series OF
track events, with a good list OF entries
In each event.
The Belle Fourche track is claimed to
be the fastest in the state, n Is In
prime condition. The races OF the
opening day were conceded to be the
best pulled off in this part OF the coun-
try In recent years. They were closely
contested and were almost inVariable
won by narrow margins.
There Is a creditable exposition or
the OF the county at the
grounds. The display OF fruits, farm
and garden products Is especially n
A striking feature OF this department
is the apple exhibit. which contains
apples superior in size, perfection OF
shape and quality TO any shipped into
this region from the east or south.
? The live stock show is also good.
Butte county undoubtedly raises the
choicest blooded cattle of the west, and
the cream of the %county's production Is
to be seen at the live stock stalls.
Prominent in this department Is the
display of registered Herefords, the
white faces" a popular breed for the
northwest. There Is also To be seen Il
selected array of poultry.
The Butte County Fair association
Is incorporated unde the laws of the
state, and has held two previous an
nual meetings. 1t is q member OF the
American Trotting association, and the
executive committee Is composed OF:
f. r. Cock, president; +. NJ. Bennett,
secretary; A. H.. Marble, treasurer; ID.
p. Roberts, and Il. III. Gay.
Belle Fourche, S. D., Oct. 5.-The
Butte county fairs second day proved
more of a success than the first, and in
point OF attendance was a record
breaker for the association. Much In
terest was taken In the fourth and
what proved to be the final heat of the
unfinished 2:lS special harness race
for a purse of 5000, which was begun
the first day. Rudy. owned by DR..
Champney OF Belle Fourche, was the
winner. Time, 2:35A. Billy Bryan
was second and Time Test third.
In the ladies' race Miss D~errickson
was first, Mrs. Crippen second and Mrs.
Miller third. Miss Thompson's horse
was ruled out by the judges, notwith-
standing 1t finished first.
The half mile dash was won by
Charley c. Time, :52. The lve-eighths
mile novelty race for a purse OF $3.50

THE BIG GAME OF WAR.
Little Will Be Doing at Camp West
Point Till Militiamen Arrive.

Camp Young, West Point, Ky, Oct.
2.-The third and final one of the SER
les of maneuvers participated in by the
regular troops exclusively, took pace
today, and proved on the whole the
most interesting Of all from the tactical
point of view. Tomorrow the state
militia will arrive, and until 10000 ma
tional guardsmen from six states get
settled in camp, there will be little do
ing in the field. Today's maneuver
was based on the condition of the
brown army being on a retreat towards
Nashville and the blue acting oil the
offensive. The action was easier to
follow than that of Monday on account
Of the requirement for attack and de-
Tense of outpost by an advance guard
Of slightly superior strength. The
position was consequently fixed with
4 fair amount of precision and the OPP
,osing forces covered less ground.

Vears Of age, and whose home Is here.
For many years this old gentleman
had suffered with a very unpleasant
form Of Kidney Trouble, a kind that
very often bothers aged people. He
would have to get up four or five times
very night, and this very tiresome dis
ease was fast wearing him out.
At last after having almost made up

simple that Mr.. Turner thinks every
one should know Of 1t. Every dealer
In the country has it, and all you have
to do is to ask for Dodd's Kidney Pills.

BIG INDIAN CARNIVAL
NEAR DECATUR ENDS
The Omaha's Bid Their Guests
Farewell After Three Months
Entertainment.
G MIDDLE OF JULY
The Great Feast Was One Of the Old
Traditional Features Of Celebra-
ton of F~orefathers Re-en-
a~cted-Other News.

Decatur, Neb., Oct. 5.-The greatesl
SYMPOSIUM ever held by the Omaha
Indians has ended abruptly and sue
cessfully. This wonderful gathering
began in the middle of July, at Horse
Head lodge, and each day has been
one OF intense excitement n unlim-
tied pleasure.
Representatives of all of the tribes of
the west and south have been present
at this enormous conventicle; n their
entertainers, the Omahas, saw to it that
they went in their distant homes light
hearted and in happy spirits, Loaded
down with gifts presented by the gen
erous hosts, such as ponies, liberal do
nations of money, costly blankets ana
shawls and delicate and fine beadwork.
One OF the few incidents to chase a
cloud across the bright horizon OF this
mammoth feast was the sudden return
of the Pawnee visitors to their okla-
homa home. A telegram was received
about three weeks ago announcing the
demise of Knife Chief, by malaria
fever. Knife Chief was the leading
sachem of the tribe, and 1t was re-
quested the visitors return so they
might be present at his funeral, which
was an immense public demonstration.
During this three months of contin-
ued feasting the Omahas have pur-
chased 100 head of prairie beef cattle
which have been devoured, and nous
ands of dollars In money and Valuabl
chattels have been given away by the
generous Omahas to their Indian WIS.,
itors.
Taken as a whole the great feast was
one Of the old traditional Publications
of the Aboriniges re-enacted. The In
dams felt the inspiration, and entered
into the froiic with their whole hear
and souls.
The only evidence of anything mod
ern in the grounds was the presence of
Q "meTry-go-round," which remained
from start to finish. The principal fea-
lures of the lengthy symposium were
the daily presentation of long distance
horse and foot races for valuaE!-
prizes, and the revival of ancient Indian
dances, such as the buffalo, bear, WOLF
and owl dance.

tea and coffee that can be got from a
irst-class grocer, but never found n
that would not upset my nervous sys-
tenn, and it was not until began to
drink Postum Food Coffee In place of
coffee and tea that | had relief from

headache from which l had suffered
for 80 years.
Il had tried all kinds of medicinea
but none helped me.
"Soon after stopped drinking coffee
and began to drink Postum the head

until l was entirely cured and have
never had a return of this distressing
trouble, for nowadays | never drink
coffee but stick to Postum.
"As soon as my wife saw what
Postum had done for me she gave up
coffee, which she had drank all her
life. This was six weeks ago and she
is a changed woman, for her nervous
ness has all disappeared, her a has
become smooth and her cheeks have
a good rosy color. She sleeps WELL
