There is an interesting anecdote
given in the Boston Herald of a Mr..
Capen, an old resident of one of the
seaport towns of Massachusetts. He
is now employed as driver of the coach
which conveys travellers from the
trains to the hotel.
One Saturday evening in the latter
part of September three men arrived
on the afternoon train from Boston.
Mr.. Capen was sitting on the drivers
seat of the coach, waiting to take
them to their destination. They looked
about the station, and evidently were
not favorably impressed by the sur
roundings, for one man was heard to
say:
What a desolate country! We GER
tainly have come to the jumping-off
place this time. 1 don't believe we
can even get Sunday paper in this
place, can we, driverT
There was silence for moment,
and then Mr.. Capen drawled out,
"Wal, not tonight"

and that there IL a seeming tendency to
pass the general culture courses by more
than has existed in the past. This new
development Is attributed to the extensive
advertising given the engineering courses.
Dean Charles e. Bessey believes that the
movement follows the general tendency
throughout the country towards specializa-
ton in the applied sciences. In part It is
attributed to the fact that the university
is now thoroughly equipped with the ap-
paratus needed to make such courses sue
cessfully and to the fact that this is now
generally known through the advertising
which has been carried.
The total registration last night was 1,705,
which is expected to increase to 1,750 in
the regular college courses, including law,
but excluding agriculture, music and other
subsidiary departments. The grand total
for all of the departments is expected to
reach 5000.
Country Club Buys Home.
The Lincoln Country club has purchased
the property at Seventh and Washington
streets which Is now held under lease. For
two years since the organization of the
club 1t has occupied the leased premises,
but recently it has grown so strong that
it has been considered advisable to own
the property and the method of financing
the purchase are now being considered by
the executive officers of the organization.
1t is proposed to issue stock which will
be underwritten by prominent members.
The reorganization includes a scheme for
the reconstruction Of the club house, golf
links in addition to those now in use, i'm
proved baths and other facilities for an
up-to-date resort.
The golf enthusiasts Of the club are
planning to continue their activity during
the cooler weather of autumn, despite the
established Lincoln precedent of placing the
paraphernaIia for the game in storage at
the first sign OF frost.

The line of the interurpan line is nearly

motor cars which have been creating such
a stir in transportation circles, but he is
not yet convinced that they will entirely
supersede the electric cars. He will go

1t is now stated that the new line may
install a switch to connect with the Lin

mated that this arrangement may be the
precursor of some agreement which will

HOMER ROAD FRANCHISE DIES
Time Granted for Completion Expires
Before Funds Are Found.


Before Funds Are Found.
DAKOTA CITY, Neb., Oct. 1.-(Special.)-
Midnight Saturday marked the expiration
Of the franchise granted the Sioux City,
Homer & Southern railway company by the
Board Of County Commissioners for the
purpose Of establishing street car line be-
tween South Sioux City and Homer via this
place. On March 30, 1903, the Board Of
County Commissioners granted right-of-way
along the highway to the proposed line
giving the company eighteen months in
which to install and operate the line. Dur
ing that year some work was done on the
line and during the summer of 1904 the
grade was completed nearly the entire way
from South Sioux City to Homer and ties
and rails were laid from South Sioux City
to point about mile west of this place
During the month Of October last year a
gasoline propelled car was installed on the
line and after several weeks futile efforts
In trying to establish passenger service, It
was abandoned. On October %, 1904, Cap
tain r. A. Talbot, promoter of the road,
appeared again before the Board OF County
Commissioners and asked to have an extern
sion OF the time in which to establish sery-
ice, which was granted-the franchise be-
ing continued until September 30, 1906 At
the time the first franchise was granted
j. s. Lawrence, representing the Sioux City
Traction company, appeared before the
board and asked that his company also be
granted franchise and that the first com
pany to have line into Dakota City be
recognized as that holding the franchise.
This the commissioners failed 10 grant. Mr..
Lawrence offered the further proposition on
behalf of his company that upon the ex-
piration of Captain Talbot's franchise his
company be given thirty days In which to
extend its line to Dakota City, but this
also was refused. Now the Sioux City,
Homer & Southern railway has held fran
chise for over two and one-half years and
Dakota City seems no nearer rapid transit
connection with Sioux City than 1t was a
decade ago. The county commissioners
meet on Tuesday, when the matter will
probably come up for action again II is
doubtful IL another extension will be
granted the Sioux City, Homer & Southern
company unless they can make a showing
sufficient to prove beyond doubt that they
have the means at their disposal 10 com
plete the work undertaken. There is strong
talk II the commissioners should extend
the franchise of taking the matter into the
courts.
