HIGH SCHOOLS AT BASKET RALI


at Y. NJ. G. A. Saturday.
The old rivals, Omaha and South Omaha
High schools, will clash in a basket ball
game Saturday night. The contest Will be
Christian association and will start
promptly at s o'clock. Both teams ahve
made a fine showing so far this season and
as neither has been defeated the game will
be watched with a good deal of interest.
Last year the Omaha boys defeated the
packers by a very close margin and the
latter team is determined to make good
the loss.
The local team has been greatly strength
ened by the return of Nagl, who was can
tain last year and one o fthe best players
on the team. McWhinney at center is i'm
proving rapidly and will soon be as valua-
BILE a man on the team as was Arnstein.
who made such a inevitable record last
year.
The preliminary game is creating almost
as much interest as the big contest. Last
week Morris Cohen, a former star OF the
south Omaha team, met Coach CherrinRton
and Issued a challenge to the alumni of the
Omaha High. AS CherriRgton is a graduate
OF the local school and was a member of
the basket ball team during the four years
he attended there. he could not let the
def go unanswered. Accordingly 1t was
agreed that a team representing the alumni
of South Omaha was to meet the alumni
of Omaha in a preliminary game next Sat
urday night. Two former stars on the
South Omaha team are now on the State
university squad. These men have been
sent for and Cohen feels sure that he will
have a winning team. On the other hand,
Omaha contains many graduates OF the
high school who were players on the team
and Coach Cherrington says that his bunch
will make them go some IL they win.
At A meeting of the high school basket
ball team held yesterday afternoon Edward
Burdick was chosen captain for the coming
season. Burdick has been a member of the
team for three seasons and has we'll earned
the honor which his team amtes have be-
slowed upon him. Since entering the High
school he has been prominent i'm all forms
OF athletics. In the annual field day OF last
spring he carried off the gold medal for
the best all around athlete in the school.
He was also a member of the relay team
which won the state meet and established
new record for the distance. Burdick is
very popular among the students, having
been chosen as the president OF mis- class by
a large majority In the fall e%ections.

others have suffered from injured knees,
bruised heads, etc.
Many of the students interested in sports
are anxious that the dances be restricted
to a certain number each year. The pres
ent condition keeps the track men from
working in the gymnasium; it handicaps
the practice of the basket ball team, and
it renders gymnasium instruction almost
impossible. The social element of the uni
versity wish it to be used for dances at
least twice a week.

Iowa Team BADLY Battered.

basket ball team returned yesterday from
the eastern trip in a battered condition for
the game scheduled tomorrow evening with
Maurice Kent's Haskell Indians.
The players are badly bruised from the
three hard games against a strong trio in

experience in hard games and not a single
contest had been played by the team off

who have read the newspapers know, he
already has used it in his own vindication.
No, the letter of Judge Sears was not
written in the interest of these witnesses.
1t was written because he, as accuser,
prosecutor and trial judge, was not spared
on the Wetmore trial any more than Canon
Bell. He first scored the jury. He then
jumps on me. But, in doing this. he for
gets that he no longer occupies the pro-
tected position of Judge, who, like the
king, "can do no wrong" BY rushing into
print he becomes plain Mr.. Sears from
Tekamah. In repelling his assaults 1 do
not even have to refer to him as ''Your
honor" This is certainly a relief. When
in his court 1 will endeavor, as 1 always
have, to show for him the respect his judi
cial position entities him to receive. But,
when off the BENCH l will treat him as
he deserves. If he wants to go into a re-
cital or comparison of records, 1 will gladly
acco immediate him.
Power of the Court.
One thing, however, 1 wish to say at this
time, and that is tlSt his reference to re.
moving me from the Wetmore case or any
other cases strikes no terror to my soul.
1 recognize that a judge on the bench for
the time being has power equal TO that of
the czar Of Russia and that such power
can be as arbitrarily exercised as by that
despot. But, Judge Sears should know
that he has no. legal right to remove OF
displace any attorney in the trial Of any
case. 1t may be such is his idea under
the law in Burt county, but it is not the
law as unanimously declared by the highest
courts of the land. A defendant, under the
constitution, has the right to a jury trial
and to make defense by counsel of his own
selection. The right Of an attorney TO APP
pear in he trial of any case is a property
right that cannot be taken from him except
upon proper charges and a regular trial. If
Judge Sears can catch me for contempt
he is welcome to do so. When / am in his
court, however, l will try and keep out of
reach of the graphing hooks.
Some years ago a distinguished attorney,
while making his argument, was harshly
called down by an arbitrary trial judge
with the query, Are you trying, Mr..
Choate, to show contempt for the courts"

Got a Wetting.

1t wasn't raining at the depot Wed
nesday about half past one, neither
was it raining anywhere else in town
that matter, but the dryness of the
atmosphere and the sunShiny weather
conditions together with a very pleas
ant and agreeable day, did not pre-
vent a certain rather stout traveller
who had Just disembarked from the
train from getting a wetting. 1t did
not rain, it literally poured upon the
aforesaid traveller a perfect water
fall from the top of the passenger
coach. The coaches were being sup
piled with water, which is put into
the coolers from the top of the
coaches. Either the coolers over
flowed or the hose slipped just as the
stout gentleman passed along the din
er and souse! down anne the torrent
of water on him. He took his wet
ting very gracefully, and made nc
complaint and hardly a smile passed
around at his expense.

A HORSE SHOW COMING.
Equine Beauties, from Mighty Perche-
rons to Shetland Midgets.

Lovers of horses will have an ex-
ceptional opportunity to witness one
of the largest collections ever gathered
together in this city when the Hagen
beck Wallace Shows exhibit here Tues
day. Oct. 10. Over four hundred horses
and ponies will be housed in auxiliary
tents so arranged hat the general
public may enter and exit at WILL
passing up and down the broad aisles
that afford opportunity for close IN
spection of the superb and beautiful
euuines. No fees are charged for TINS
privilege of witnessing a really regal
horse fair. The exhibits are divided
into classes ranging from the mighty
Percherons to mites of Shetlands.
There are many big, muscular, broad
backed work or baggage horses-dap-
pies. grays and blacks-in four, six,
eight and ten-horse teams, all
matched to a nicely and set off with
trappings of the most brilliant hue,
Fifty head of ring stock are the finest
specimens from whose bare backs a
graceful rider ever kissed a courtesy
or threw a somersault. Two scorN OF
prettv ponies, some no larger than a
good sized Newfoundland dog, are at
once the delight of children. There is
a eiant horse so large that the hostler
requires a ladder to reach it's back
when he c~urrycombs the animal, and
a hairless horse whose skin is ike
velvet to the touch. There are tWo
score kingly equines classed as men
age and high school horses that com
mand the greatest admiration either
in the arena or paddock. There is
pure white Arabian specimen that is
declared to be the most beautlfu
horse in the world, and there are many
clean-limbed. blue-blooded racing AMI
mails that sporting men would gloa
over and yearn to call their own. Al
these complete a blue-ribbon assem-
tblage without equine equal and I'm
paralleled even in the history of tn
greatest of horse fairs.

THE PARISH A

I~.favette's first annual fair in over
and II has been a large success. II
has placed before us in a STRIKING
way the possibilities of the parish IN
a great nan ways and the Vaiue
snch an object lesson will have de-
rends upon the benefit the
and citizens Of the parish generally
have derived in the way OF lnsplra-
ton and information toward lncreas-
ing the product Of their Efforts. ms
Of course. will be shown as the an
nuar fairs are held.
The wealth of any section depends
upon it's products, and in an agricui-
tural parish it depends upon the
amount OF yield the farmers can draw
from the soil in the way OF crops.
r. where fifteen bushels OF corn have
been raised to the acre twenty are
raised as the result of the stimulous
!. and educative effect OF the parish
sair, then the fair has produced posi-
and lasting benefit by adding to
lesources of the parish.
kwhere only a half bale of cotton
been raised to the acre a bale is
ed as the result of the fair, then
ne fair has added a positive wealth
to the parish.
In fact, If as a result of the fair
two hogs can be raised where n
was raised, a good horse instead OF a
common horse, better stock generally,
her the fair has been OF real prac-
teal value and is a paying proposition
to the parish.
That these results are bound to
follow the holding of a fair annually
needs no demonstration. It is self
evident, and II it were not, the ex-
uerience of other counties mi par
ishes overwhelmingly shows 1t. But
the fair must be a fixture. Holding
IT one year and skipping n and un-
certain about it the next does not
make for benefit, for it kills the in
terest and removes the stimulus. 1t
must be certain that the fair is going
to be held, so that the whole year
the people may look forward to the
event, prepare for it and strive to
make progress in the various lines Of
industry that will count for some
thing on exhibition day. 1t is the
development from year to year. the
improvements to be submitted In
friendly rivalry that mark the step Of
Increase in products and the discovery
of new and paying industries for the
parish. Unless the fair is a certainty,
then all Of this rivalry, interest and
energy has no being.
