the largest school for nurses in the world.

In c-ross-cOuntry running the COrnhuskers
were the unquestioned champions of the
west, an honor they won at Chicago in the
western intercollegiate run on the Satur-
day preceding Thanksgiving, when a team
of five men from Nebraska outpointed
the best western runners in the nnual
race. This was the fourth time within five
years that a Nebraska team won this con-
test.
The base ball season was begun this
spring without any especially brilliant out
look for a winning team, Captain Better
proved a star man for leader and, with the
assistance Of Coach Fox early In the
spring, brought the state school the best
nine It had had in six years. II was. in
fact, a championship team. No game was
lost on the home grounds and It was the
general opinion among local base ball ex-
peTts that the Cornhuskers at the close of
the season had BY far the best nine in the
Missouri valley conference.

Legal Points Up
in Kaufman Case
Defense Wants Charge Limited to
Manslaughter, of Which She
Was Convicted.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 5.-(Special)
Following the securing of a jury to try
the case of Mrs. Emma Kaufman, the
Sioux Falls woman who is charged with
the murder Of her l6-year-old domestic,
which was called for trial at Flandreau
Tuesday of this week, and before the in
PRODUCTION OF testimony commences argu-
ments will nave to be made before Judge
Rice upon several points which must be
disposed of before the actual trial of the
case begins.
The most important point to be disposed
of before the case proceeds to trial will be
the motion of the defense that in this
trial the charge against Mrs. kaufman be
confined to ma~nslaughter, the offense of
which she was convicted at her former
trial. The information or indictment in
the case charges her with murder, but as
she was convicted of manslaughter the
defense maintains that she cannot this
time be TILED for the greater crime.
The state will stoutly resist this motion
and will endeavor to have Mrs. Kaufman
tried on the original charge. The defense
will make a strong and persistent fight
TO have the trial proceed or the charge
of manslaughter, and the arguments on
this feature of the case promise to con-
sumo several hours of the time of the
court.
The attorneys for the defense in the pre-
liminary skirmishing are not overlooking
a single point to lay the foundation for
another appeal to the state supreme court
in the event that Mrs. Kaufman should
again be convicted.

Athletic Year Is a Success

With several letter men of 1908 missing,
the track season opened with rather a
gloomy outlook. The C~ornhuskers were
led by an excellent captain in this branch
Of sport, though. and through his ener-
getic efforts turned out the best cinder
path bunch In the conference. Dual meets
were won from Morningside, Minnesota
and Kansas. Outside OF Nebraska, Kansas
had the best track team in the valley and
held the banner for the southern division
OF the league. In the northern half Ne
braska was the leader. and, by winning
from Kansas, established its claim to the
title Of dual track champions Of the Mis-
souri, valley conference"
In the nnual western intercollegiate
gymnastic contest, held in Lincoln in
April, Chicago won first place in the team
contest, Minnesota and Wisconsin followed
in second and third places, respectively;
Nebraska was fourth. d. c. Mitchell OF
Nebraska defeated the best men from the
big conference schools in individual work
and won the premier honors as the best
all-round gymnast of the west

ST. PETERSBURG, Jun 5.-Emperor
Nicholas, the empress and the dowage
empress came TO st. Petersburg this morn
ing from T~sarskoe-Selo to take part in the

for more than ten years. His majesty un
yelled the monument, after religious service
by the metropolitan OF st. Petersburg, and
then led a parade OF detachments Of the
guard and other regiments associated with
the late emperor.
The empress, who has long been in i'll
health, appeared today to be we'll and in
the best of spirits.
The great square in front of the Moscow
station, where the monument stands, pre-
scented a brilliant spectacle, the leading off
GERS Of the army and navy, all the mem
bers OF the court, representatives of the
nobility and members OF the diplomatic
corps, with the women of their families,
having been commanded TO attend. The
United States was represented by Ann

embassy. The monument Is a colossal fig
ure Of the late emperor on horseback. The
sculptor is Prince Paolo TrOubetzskoi, upon
whom the emperor has conferred the order
Of Vladimir. As a precautionary measure
all passengers coming recently from Fin
land TO the capital have been searched at
the frontier and the revolutionary suspects
in st. Petersburg have been kept under
close surveillance for two days.

LINCOLN, June 5-(Special .)-From the
standpoint of the Nebraska students the
Cornhusker athletic year Of 1868, which
closed today with the big Missouri valley
conference track meet at Des Moines, may
be regarded as a success. 1t was a year
marked by some painful reverses in two
branches OF sport in which better results
had been anticipated at the opening Of
school last fall. But 1t also was a year
which brought forth winning teams in
three other departments of university ath-
letics. producing in this trio enough vic
tories to keep the scarlet and cream at
the head OF the Missouri valley schools.
Foot ball and basket bah must be set down
as the games In which the CornhuskeTs
failed to achieve the success that could
have been theirs If a little more discretion
had been shown by the men who trained
the athletes. Base ball, track and cros s.
country running each gave NeAraska cham
plonship teams.
In foot bail the championship Of the
Missouri valley was lost to Kansas uni

Old Bill Of Fare of Black Hills
Restaurant Shows Cost of Neces-
saries in 1875.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Tune 5,-tSpecial.)
While examining some old papers and
other documents which had occupied a
place in an old trunk for many years, a
resident of Keystone, a mining town in the
Black hills, discovered an interesting relic
of pioneer days III the Black hills, in the
form of an old bill of fare.
The bill of fare was issued by q little
frontier hotel-saloon at Rockerville and
bears date OF May, 1876, this being the
palIny period OF the gold excitement in
the Black hills, following the discovery of
the precious metal there. At that time
Rockerville was one of the principal gold
camps and was believed to be destined
to become a second Leadville or Butte.
The bill of fare is particularly interest
Ing as revealing the prices which the resi-
dents of the gold diggings'' had to pay
for the necessaries of life during that early
and exciting period.
The bill of fare is as follows:
