LINCOLN oct. Especial )--GeOrge L.
Sheldon and Mrs. sheldon spent the day
in Lincoln at the Lindell hotel. Many
visitors called during the day and late in
the afternoon the two went calling upon
friends. This is about the last day OF rest
Mr.. Sheldon will set until election as he Is
booked up for meetings every day. Be
fore election he will spend three days in
Omaha.
I'VE have been having good meetings.,
said Mr.. Sheldon. "and am well satisfied.
The people have come out i'm good num-
bers and ! appreciate the courteous treat
ment l have received. During the last
week most OF my time has been In the
} Third district and / believe Judge Boyd
will be elected with the usual majority He
is strong with the people"
Mr. Sheldon has quit trying to answer
the false statements in the democratic
press concerning him. At the meeting IN
Newman Grove he made the statement
he had received a pass from the Buring-
ton railroad and had given it In person
TO Mr.. Ager the political agent of the
Burlington, without using 1t. The demo-
cratic papers reported him saying the pass
What | said was reported in The Bee
correctly, after that meeting" said Mr..
Sheldon, but about three days later the
WorldHerald printed a deliberate false
hood about it.
Il expect to spend three days in Douglas
county before election and get acquainted
with more of the people of the metropolis.
In the meantime, however. | am expecting
a good vote there"
Rose IL satisfied
From a republican standpoint the cam
paign is progressing nicely and according
to Chairman Rose of the state committee
he is well satisfied and looks for the usual
republican majority in the coming cleo
tion. Chairman Allen Of the democratic
state committee talks hopefully also and
both committees are starting in on whirl-
wind finish. with the aid Of the railroads
the democrats are bending every effort to
elect A c. Shallenberger governor over
George l.. Sheldon and while the repub-
licans believe there is no doubt Mr.. Shell
don will be elected hands down. every turn
OF the campaign will be watched carefully.
Sad Days for University.
Poor old university. 1t was beaten at
foot ball and It cannot start riots. Ames
turned the frst trick and the high school
dents are gentle enough to eat out of the
hands OF strangers, 1t takes couple Of
policemen to keep the high school boys in
line and they are having poor success. In
fact the principal Of the high school has
to be guarded by policemen while going to
Lis meals. while the university professors
walk the streets unmolested. The melan-
choly DAYS have come for the old ''uni -
Its old Hoo! Rah! Rah! Hoo! Rah! Rah!"
sounds like the gentle cooling OF a dove
And there was time when this old Hoo
Rah! Rah." shook the plate glass windows
in the store buildings There was time
when It struck terror to the hearts OF the
policeman. Peace-loving men and gentle
women used to hide under the beds when
the gallant band swept through the streets
to this dear old tune. There was a time
when the high school students used to
follow this band around glad to get the tail
end OF the cheers shouted at the big guns
by those who feared them. Do they do It
now? Well not much They do say the
university boys take to the woods when
the high school boys start out. They do
say the university boys talk In whispers
when a high school boy comes along. Is
there any nshting going on between the
freshmen and sophomores over taps and
such things? Well, not as any one has
heard OF; but they do say the university
boys play old maid after dark.
It's all very sad.
No longer do these terrors drill into
soda fountain, get theirs, and walk out
without looking at the check. Not much
The white aproned clerk would spank them.
It's = tame set, that.
High school Terrors
The high school students? Every day at
noon Principal Sanders marches out be-
tween two great blue-coated policemen.
They are there to protect him. The boys

Several parents have telephoned the police
they will not help the boys out of their
troubles. No one has heard any OF them
asking for help, though. II was Chief
Cooper himself who sent for a lawyer to
help the boys out. They were willing to
win their case by brute strength and
awkwardness. Certainly q new era has
dawned upon schoo' life IN Lincoln. And
