COMPLETE WALK
TO THE ACADEMY
SPLENDID PAVEMENT TO MILITIA
ny SCHOOL NOW READY FOR
THE PUBLIC.

Work on the West End sidewalk
was completed Thursday afternoon and
will be a credit to the committee in
charge Of the work, to the many who
have given the work their best efforts
since its inception and to the contrac-
tor in charge, Mr.. Moore. 1t is a much
needed and valued improvement TO
this progressive residence section of
the town and from now on this part
Of town will grow up rapidly and is
destined to become the most popular
suburban residence part OF the town.
In addition this improvement will
make this part of town desirable for
afternoon walks and on every pretty
Sunday afternoon there will be many
who will take the walk to Columbia's
splendid school for boys.
The work has not been without its
difficulties, however. Some of the
largest property owners have not con-
tributed to the work and some few
have not even gone to the expense |
of setting back their fences. In fact |
the contractor says that those who |
failed to contribute along the way |
have insome instances given him more
trouble than any others, and this in
spite of the fact that the walk was ad-
ding largely to the value of all the
along the way The COM
mittee in charge, ten in number, have
had the work completed when the
amount contributed was not sufficient
o cover the cost by 5000, and now
hese ten gentlemen will have to
make up the deficiency out of their
,wn pockets unless those benefited
moose to help make up the balance.
The work to the school has proven
o great an acquisition that proper
Y owners along the Mt. Pleasant pike +,
ave started a movement to build a !,
ralk from the forks of the pike to !,
he railroad bridge. If the work is
one the walk will be placed on the
outh side of the pike. The larger
roperty owners are behind the move
tent and if they decide to put 1t I
trough it will go on without hitch.

BATTLE ROYAL
FOR TO-DAY
REDHoT CONTEST ON ACADEMY
GRIDIRoN PREDICTED BY
CAPT. STONE.

1t will be battle royal. in the opin
ion of Capt. Lex Stone, when Battle
Ground Academy meets the cadets on
the Academy field this after.
noon, and the game will be one OF the
closest and most interesting ever
seen here. In fact so closely are the
teams matched on performance that
+ luck will play an important part in
i the decision and the score may end 0
and 0.
The teams are of about the same
weight, they have had about the same
experience, they are equally fast, and
will doubtlessly be as equally deter
mined. B. G. A. in its game with Mas
sey came out shade better than C.
NJ. A., but the cadets are. on their
own grounds among their own peo-
pie and will be inspired by their
friends and the school yells and songs.
In fact this will be a pleasant and
stirring feature of the game The boys
have been practicing yells and songs
and they will be assisted by the band
in urging their comrades on to the eff
fort of their lives.
A number of shifts have been made
recently in the team and with better
results. The boys have been going
for the reserves each afternoon, and
are trained to the minute. Prof Mas
sey of the Massey Training School, |
and Mr.. Godbey of Vanderbilt, have
been secured as officials. The Acade-
my field is in excellent shape and the
weather man promises perfect even
ng 1t will be a pleasant outing and
t is hoped that the crowd present
will surpass all previous records. It

FORGEY REPLIES
TO CHM. FARISS
DENIES THAT HE ASSURED THE
LATTER THAT ALL NAMES
HAD BEEN CERTIFIED.

Anent the controversy over the fail.
ure of the Commissioners of Election
to place the name of j. S. Beasley,
Republican candidate for congress on
the official ballot for the November
election, Chairman c. A. Forgey, OF
the County Election Commission, has
given out the following statement:
Il was greatly surprised to see in
yesterdays Herald a statement from
III. F. Fariss, when discussing the abb
sence of Mr.. Beasley's name from the
official ballot, to the effect that he
had been given to understand by
Chairman Forgey, of the Election
Commission, that the names of all
the Republican nominees had been
properly certified and were on the
official ballot and this statement is
substantially repeated in two other
places in the same interview.
81 gave Mr.. Fariss no such assur. :
ance with respect to all Republican
nominees. l had only one brief inter- |
view with Mr.. Fariss on the subject |
the substance of which was to as
sure him that Mr. Luck, the Secreta-
ry of the State Republican Executive
Committee, had properly certified his
list of candidates, which certification
] had received and had turned same
over to R. s. Hopkins, Secretary
of the Maury County Election Com
mission with request that ne write
TO Mr.. Luck acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the same, accompanied with
tine assurance that his list would be
properly entered on the official ballot. =
Mr.. Luck's list of names consisted OF |
the Republican nominee for Governor {
Railroad Commissioner and Presiden- t
tial Electors. l
TN this interview with Mr.. Fariss,i l
according to his own statement, the b
candidacy of Mr.. Beasley was not dis
cussed.' Mr. Fariss seems to have
fallen into the error of thinking that
it was the business of the State Re-
publican Executive Committee to GER
tyfy to the various County Commits
sions the local Republican nominees
throughout the State, losing sight of g
the fact that Mr.. Luck is not even
resident of this Congressional dis
trict, much less member of the Re-
publican Congressional Executive
and therefore any certi-
fication from him of local nominees II

last year for all purposes was SIS, $780,"
There seems to be some shortsightedness
in the distribution of city funds when we
can erect a Welcome sign across one of

in the fund providing for the health of
our city. Whenever I pass that sign on
Farnam street l think of Omaha as l do
of a man who builds a beautiful home
without sewerage and a bathtub. How far
would the big price we paid for the cheap
looking structure go toward covering the
deficit in our health department, which
helps Omaha to become a city where people
like to live because it's free from disease

their money is to be spent before it's all

FRATERNITY MEN MAKE MERRY
Foot Ball Game, Brings Many Out
siders who Participate to
the City.

College spirit. which ran high in Omaha
last night with the victorious Nebraska
team, augmented by hundreds of loyal
"rooters'' making the streets merry with
their 'rah, rah, rahs.' and the waving OF
countless pennants, found expression in a
couple of fraternity banquets given by local
members TO the visitors. One of the ban
quets was given by the Kappa Sigmas at
the Tolf Hanson cafe and the other was
given by the Phi Kappi Psi at the Willard,
each being attended by over forty members,
many OF whom are of the alumni while
some are now attending college, a few being
on the victorious Nebraska team.
Seven and eight course banquets were
served and nothing was too good for the
men who helped to keep the red and white
p~ennant waving, and the toasts given after
the dishes had been removed tended to ce-
ment the good feeling between the old men
and the new, while good fellowship in each
instance reigned supreme.
The Kappa Sigma banquet, given by
fourteen Omaha members of the fraternity
was In charge of Carson D. Fowler, while
Harry S. Byrne was toastmaster. The
POSTMASTER first called on G. NJ. Montgom-
cry of Albion, the chief rooter for the Ne
braskans; then upon Mr.. Neal of Denver,
who Is well known as a Kappa Sigma man;
and then or Mr.. Fowler. These gave set
toasts. Following these speakers, nearly
all the forty-two men gathered around the
table spoke briefly Of the victory of the
day and others of days gone by, and the
praises of the old fraternity were sung in
glowing terms, the song of gladness becom-
ing all the more beautiful" as the evening
wore on.
Three men of the Nebraska team: o. A.

Observing Lincoln Anniversary.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. Ito the Editor OF
The Bee, Dear Sir: on the 18th day of Feb

versary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln
l notice in eastern papers and magazines
that preparations are being made fitttngly
to celebrate that day.
So appropriately has James Creelman re-
ferred to this event, that I cannot do bet
ter than to quote his words: mo Ameri'
ran can utter Lincoln's name without emo.
ton. We think Of Washington with pride
Of Hamilton, of jefferson and Madison
with intellectual reverence, and Of Jack.
son and Grant with grateful consciousness
Of their strength. But the memory of Lin.
coin, even now, forty-three years after his
piteous death, stirs the tenderest love OF
the nation, thrills IT with a sense of init,
mate relationship to his greatness and
awakens a personal affection in the aver.
age Americans breast-not a mere politi.
cal enthusiasm, but a peculiarly heartfelt
sentiment-that has no parallel in human
history"
We are not to be excused ~ we do not sec
to it that the generations that are to come
after us are influenced to perpetuate honor
and reverence for the immortal dead.
In view of this event, l would suggest
that representative citizens Of Omaha, the
United States and county Judges, the bar
the clergy. the mayor and city council as
emble at the city hall in the very near fu.
ture to take measures flttlngly to commem.
crate his life and death.
If the gathering Of February 18th, be de.
cided upon. let it be for all u people
Let 1t be worthy, first of the theme, ant
second, worthy of this young virile me.
