How Is Nebraska?

Opinion as to the strength of Nebraska is di-
vided. One correspondent declares that the
team Is far from strong, and lighter than the
team Of 1902. Another dopester solemnly AYERS
that Nebraskas prospects never brighter,
and that the coaches in Lincoln town are pri-
vately throwing bouquets at themselves over
what they are going to do The general trend
OF opinion in the local camp is that Nebraska is
going to give Minnesota the game of her life
this year. If the dopesters of the country
keep up their scrapping, a fair line will be
available on Nebraska in a short time. Yester-
days game would seem to indicate that Nebraska
is fast. The second team played the first half
and could not score against Lincoln high. The
halves are reported to have been Of ten minutes
each and the varsity team went into action and
scored three touchdowns in the second half
This, while against high school. would not In
dictate that the cornhuskers were running back
ward thru the ten-minute half.
ugly charges are made against eastern school
and carrying with them the news that two Of
Stages men had deserted their camp and Joined
Swarthmore. Chicago makes out an ugly looking
case against Swarthmore, but the usual bale
of denfals will doubtless arrive on schedule time
One Of the players alleges that Stage did not
treat him kindly. He wanted. it is said to
play In one position, and Stage had him In
another. He probably knew more than the coach
II this Is true. The loss of such a man to q
football squad Is not generally regrettable.

not full and complete. He claims that
the sending of his ward to Illinois was
by the advice and consent of relatives,
including the petitioner, and was not
a useless expenditure as claimed by
him. Wilson further claims that said
ward had no real property of her own.
but that all the property mentioned in
the petition was purchased by him for
the benefit of said ward and that the
record shows that it was for her
benefit.
Wilson expressly denies that he de-
pended upon agents to manage the es-
tate of said ward, and alleges that said
petitioner, James Knsman, is not a
proper person to act as said guardian
ad litem, and so asks the court to
strike out said petition from the pro-
ceedings in the cause.

Ex-senator Turner's failure to win
the democratic nomination for vice
president was mainly due to the OBJ
stinacy and stupidity of six of the ten
delegates from Washington, who in
sisted on enforcing the unit rule and
casting the full vote of the state for
Hearst when it was evident to any
man of any political discernment that
Hearst did not have ghost of a show

Hearst delegates We're Splawn of Yak

King and Goldman of Columbia. The
same half dozen elected Terry ma
tional committeeman over Dunphy,
thus violating a pledge given at the
state convention.
Another thing that contributed to
the defeat of Turner was the opposi-
ton Of the delegation of Alabama, in
which state Turner was a United
States marshal under President Grant
in reconstruction days. Although Tur-
ner went to Alabama from Missouri
when he was eighteen years Of age,
married an Alabama woman and
studied law there, the story was cir
culated in st. Louis that he was a
northern Carpetbagger in RECONSTRUCT
ton days and as a result he did not
get a single vote from any southern
state, although before the opposition
OF the Alabama delegation developed

candidate Of the South as we'll AS OF

preference for Turner as the only can

CHINA IN TRANSFORMATION

In an extremely interesting contrlpu-
ton to the July number of the North
American Review, entitled China in
and the War Archl-
bald r. Colquhoun endeavors TO maj
cate the nature Of the position in which
the war between Russia and Japan
when it is over, will leave China. Mr..
Coluuhoun points out that the pros
meets of reform in China are perhaps
better now than they have ever peen,
inasnuch as Yuan Shih-kai, the lead
ing shirt at present in Chinese affairs
fayors the reform movement. Inc IN
nuence of Japan in China IS preiom-
inant, Japan's wise management OF the
relations between the two countries
having turned into admiration and
confidence the bitter resentment
against her which ragged in the Chinese
breast at the end of the Chino-Japa-
nese war. From Japan China is learn
ing willingly the lesson which Japan
herself learned from the western
world Chinese students have been
focking to japanese colleges, and Jap
anese teachers have largely replaced
Europeans in Chinese colleges. Chi
nese workmen are crowding japanese
arsenals and factories to be taught the
use of modern machinery and methods.
The reform movement does not center
in any one distinct class of society or
political party, and it is obvious that
China is on the eve of new era.
Should China be removed from the
deadly pressure of the Muscovite in
the north, China could deal effectively
with the aggressions of the foreigner;
and, with moderate measures of re-
form, she would be able to develop
her independence as a nation, and yet
afford a market for the great expan
sionst commercial powers. In de-
scribing the Chinese transformation,
Mr.. ColquhOun says:
"One of the most remarkable and
far-reaching changes is to be found in
the revolution which has taken place
in examination questions for the de-
grees which open the road to official
appointment. In the place of the
stereotyped classical illusions, tests of
memory, and so forth, we find in the
last years papers questions as to the
significance of the Monroe doctrine, the
value of the transit sthmian canal and
trans Siberian railway, the meaning of
free trade and protection the charac-
teristics of the educational systems of
different countries. and the essentials
of a pure and efficient civil service.
The new departure is in many cases to
be traced to the influence of mission
airy disseminated literature, and, in
particular. to the Society for the Diff
fusion OF Christian and General knOWl-
edge. which, in later years, has worked
on the broadcast nOn-sectarian basis OF
education. The most significant ques-
tons however, relate to the progress
of Japan and whether she is merely
following European footsteps Stimuli
taneously, an industrial entente has
been effected between China and Japan.
Workmen are crOWding japanese ar
senals and factories to be taught the
use of modern machinery and methods,
and the East ASiatic League, which is
the organ of the entente, devotes itself
largely to promoting this side of Chi
neSe reform"

On the sea, Japan has been re-

Russian squadron at Port Arthur and

Chess for the Blind.

It one day occurred to Prof,
Goldberg that, considering how
often chess is played blindfolded,
there ought to be no difficulty in
teaching the game to the really
blind. He communicated his idea
to NJ. De la Zeranne, who took it
up with enthusiasm, with the re-
suit that at the Vellentin Hady
association headquarters there
has been inaugurated a special
class for the blind. The boards
are infuted in smooth squares,
and one set of pieces is rounded
at the top while the other is
pointed. Charitable individuals
and the National Institute for the
Blind are interesting themselves
in the subject.
