lost and the discussion in which several
swspaper men participated turned on
ating capacity and prices for admission
, see the games The presidents OF both

nary prices for the reason that both
ans have been literally supported dur
ing the season, Mr.. Pulliam, president of
Inc National league, set the price question
at rest by stating that the matter of prices
would be settled by the national commits
on, which has charge OF the games.
Mr.. Murphy said that by reason OF extra
'oxes seating LOO people and circus seats
% would be able to seat 26,Oo0 people in

Jared that similar arrangements on the
outh Side would accommodate 20.OoO
There will be no material change in the

more room behind the catcher for his

han was allowed last year. Mr. Comiskey
loes not object. but the matter probably
viii have to be settled by the national
commission, which will meet in Chicago
next Monday.
The advance inquiry for seats, not only

but the presidents of both teams state
that they will be able to care for every

Coach Foster. continues to introduce in
novations in the foot ball camp at Ne
braska university, During the Booth re-
gime secret practice was unheard of until
the closing week OF October. but, with the
season scarcely started Foster has already
locked the gates and the antics of the
Cornhuskers in practice have not been
before prying eyes since the opening OF
the present week. The Nebraska coach
has agreed to let the i'rail birds enter for
a brief period one day OF the week, but
IL will be of slight duration and the new
coach will take care that possible scouts
shall see nothing giving a line on any of
his tactics.
There is a strong suspicion that Foster
anticipates a stiff battle next Saturday
with South Dakota university. White
more, the Dakota coach, stole quietly into
Lincoln last week and witnessed the Corn
huskers in their initial conflict OF the
season with, Hastings college. His pres
ence was unknown ana unheralded, but
before he hied his way back 10 the north
he left word that unless the Cornhuskers
displayed different line of goods against
the Coyotes than against Hastings there
might be some surprises when the Dakota
eleven comes to Lincoln. Foster has as
suredly been driving his pupils at fast
pace during the weeks practice, evidently
determined 10 pull off a few surprises on
his own account. Meanwhile the news has
leaked through the fence at Nebraska
feld that Foster is drilling his men in
variety of new plays devised by himself
and especially fitted to the new rules.
Some of these are TO be sprung on the
Coyotes next Saturday

A BRAVE FIGHT.

1T the people Of Columbus are com pelled to rely on the Chattahoochee River for water for domestic purposes IL will not be the fault of the city's wide awake newspapers. The Ledger and The Enquirer-Sun are making a vigorous and tireless fight, and if they arc defeated in the end it will not be from any lack of effort on their part
 There is no question about the quan- tity of water the river can supply, for that is almost without limit, but the quality is q very different matter. It Is not merely on account of the un- changing muddiness of the water, for that can be to a large extent removed by proper system of filtration, but there are objections of a more serious nature, and which filtration will not remove. A glance at the map shows that the sewage of the large city of Atlanta is carried into the Chattahoo- chee. The same is true of West Point, situated on the bank of the river and naturally draining into it. In addi- tion there arc several small towns or villages or or near the river, and a thiekly settled country on either side of it from Columbus up almost to its source The amount of sewage find- ing it's way into the stream from all these sources is constant and almost incalculable. and in that lies the dam ger to Columbus.
 As before stated. the mud can to a large degree be removed by thorough and proper filtration. but that is not true of sewage contamination. The germs of disease which must flourish and he carried down from sewage can not be taken out by filters, nor can their dangerous nature be removed in this way We cannot blame the people of Columbus for objecting to such a water supply. and if there is any alter native they should refuse to be pois- oned by using it. We wish our con- temporaries and the people success in their battle against a great danger
