total of all United States railroads re-
porting for November to date aggre-
eating s26,876. SOS, a decrease of 0.3
per cent as compared with the earn
ings of the same road for the CORE
spending period a year ago. The de-
crease is shared in by a large num-
Der of roads, and IS most marked in
the West and Southwest, although in
that section gains continue to be re-
ported by a few leading systems,
among them Missouri Pacific. Texas &
Pacific, ST. Louis Southwestern and
International & Great Northern. In
the South railroad earnings are still
fairly satisfactory, but a number of
roads that for a considerable period
have been regularly reporting gains
now show some loss. which is partially

PASS SUNDAY
BASE BALL BILL
vERNOR'S ATTITUDE NOT so
SURE AT THIS TIME
Much Pressure Being Brought to Bea
Upon Him BY Friends And
Enemies of The Bill

Lincoln, Mch. 30-The Sunday base
ball bill passed the house yesterday
after a bitter fight and attempts to
amend it to exclude small towns
from its benefits.
The amendments which came from
friends of the bill were designed to
meet the objections of Governor Aid
rich, who is supposed to have de-
clared himself as quite opposed to
sunday base ball ON general princi-
pies and willing to sign the bill only
with clause which would prevent
Sabbath day games in towns smaller
than 1000.
The members from small towns
however, were entirely unwilling to
exclude themselves from the bill and
voted down the amendment to ex-
Jude towns of less than 5000 and to
exclude villages less than 1000

md body 4 high school building
should have a gymnasium where
some systematic physical education
,an be given, and where games can
be played under much better super
vision Heretofore, the athletic as
sociations have been compelled tc
raise funds as best they could to
pay rent for room not well suited
either in construction of location for
their games.
In order that our High School
may economically and effectively dc
the work which it has been trying
to do, and that it may perform the
functions which a high school of to-
day should perform, We should have
them.
First-More laboratory and recita-
ton room.
Second--Provision for manual train
ing aand domestic science.
Third-A gymnasium.
Fourth-A study and assembly roor
Fifth-A centrally located building
for these purposes.
The present high school, though a
sood and substantial building, and
suitable without any change for a
grade building, could not without a
great deal of change, be adapted for
the various purposes of a modern
high school, and if such were at
tempted, the grades which are now
using a part of this building would
have to be housed elsewhere. For
this reason, as well as for reasons
previously stated from the standpoint
Of the grades, the school authorities
have thought that, rather than con
struct two small buildings for the
grades, the wiser course for the
present is TO construct a building cen.
trally located for high school pur-
poses, and to use the present build
ings, with possibly a couple of ad-
Gitional rooms in the south district
for the grades. S. II. WOOD,

obtained in spite of these obstacles is
due to the cooperation of pupils and
the skillful management of teachers.
Another of the crying needs of the
high school then, is an assembly
room large enough to give each pupil
a seat for general exercises, and a
place to study and to keep decently
his books and supplies. This is
said to be the only high school in
the state without an assembly room.
