OMAHA DEFEATS THE BLUFFS
Use Of Substitutes by Omaha Makes
Game Close.
ROBINSON MAKES FIELD GOAL
Council Riuffs Man Makes Most
Sensational Play-Dave bowman
Stars for Omaha and Sub
stitutca show Wen.

The Omaha High school foot hall war
riors soalped the Council Bluffs High
school eleven In a game devoid of I'M
usual interest by score of TO 3 at
Rourke park Friday afternoon.
Omaha played the game with largely a
substitute team, four regulars being out
OF the lineup-Vesgil Rector, the star full
back; Baldrige, center; Croker, left end
and Gideon, right end.
The purple and white made It's only
score early in the first quarter, when by
n series OF line plunses and short end
runs on the part OF the back field the
ball was advanced TO Council Bluffs
two-yard line, and "Ole'' Carlson, full
back, went over the line Munneke
kicked an easy goal and the score stood:
Omaha, g. Council Bluffs, O. so T. re-
manned until the fourth quarter, when
Robinson, the Iowans' speedy little quar-
ter, booted a perfect drop kick between
Omaha's goal posts from the twenty
yard line. Score: Omaha, G; Council
Bluffs, 3.
Bowman Brightest Star.
Dave Bowman, Omaha's speedy little
captain and right half, was the star OF
the game, and had he had better inter
ference Omaha would have run up a
much larger score Bowman featured In
end runs and open field running. He also
used the stiff arm to good advantese
and shook off many tacklers by his high
knee" action.
Rachman, at left tackle, and "Ole"
Carlson, fullback, also played we'll, both
getting away for good gains. Rachman
advanced at least five yards every time
he carried the ball and showed his ability
to play low despite his size and weight
Carlson was especially good on running
back punts and was a consistent line
plunger.
Selby, at quarter for the locals, pulled
off several good end runs, which might
have developed into touchdowns had
there been enough interference. Ballman
center, always was active in breaking
through the Bluffs line, spelling several
we'll planned forward passes which the
Iowans attempted. bud" Gould, who
has been on the squad all season, got his
first chance to play this year. holding
down right end throughout the entire
game. Gould is the lightest man on the
team, but played a good game
Robinson at quarter for the Bluffs
eleven was their bright and shining star
working forward passes and getting away
for good Individual gains. He brought
the entire crowd to its feet in the final
quarter by his perfect drop kick from
Omaha's twenty-yard line. Underwood,
left end, showed we'll in interference and
in his offensive play. Whitman at right
half also played consistent game.
The Council Bluffs lads were adopts on
the forward pass and pulled off several
plays Of this nature 60 good advantage.
Omaha did not resort much to this style
of play and Coach Burnett was careful
not to lot any OF the new trick plays
which will be used against wendell

TO SWAMP THE LORDS.

To override the veto of the house OF
lords by wholesale creation Of peers
Is a plan that has been often threat
ened. but hardly ever put into prac-
tice. 1t certainly places the king in a
very unenviable predicament-so much
SO that in lIl9. after a crisis of the
kind. George l. caused to be intro.
duced into the lords bill for limiting
the power of the sovereign TO create
peers. a sort of royal self denying or,
dinance
The measure was twice passed in the
lords. but twice rejected BY the com
mons. which was lucky. for had il
been carried 1t would have made the
house of lords an almost unchanged BILE
body, entirely beyond the control OF
king or minister or commons.
The nearest approach that was ever
made to ''swamping the lords" was in
1882. when the fate Of the great re-
form bill trembled in the balance. Over
and over again the measure had been
passed by the commons. only to be re-
jected by the lords. The country was
furious. Payment Of taxes was re-
fused. Riots broke out everywhere.
The prime minister. Lord Grey. went
to the king and begged him to create
new peers to carry the bill. His maj
esty refused. and the ministry re-
signed. The king. however. presently
changed his mind and. fearing q revo-
luton. agreed to the creation Of a hun
dred new peers. .or more II necessary"
Then. very reluctantly. the upper house
gave way. and the bill became law

DANCING STARS.
fhe TwinkIers Seem to Jump When
Viewed Through . Telescope.

One OF the most interesting things
appearing in the telescope when that
instrument is pointing heavenward is
the appearance Of jumping stars. OF
course we can see stars twinkle with
out telescope. but with a telescope
they may be seen to jump and actual
" to dance The cause is the same
mixing currents of light and heavy
afr causing refraction or bending Of
the rays Of light coming from the star
We can see the same phenomenon by
looking at a small object in a room
through the air directly over a hot
radiator. The object seems to jump
and dance as II playing hide and seek
with itself.
This jumping in the telescope or
twinkiing to the naked eye has also
been explained by what is called in
reference. Ii two sources Of light are
placed close to each other. then on a
screen placed properly we can catch
an alternate band Of white and dark
lines. OF course IL the eye be placed
at dark line 1t can see neither source
of tight The production OF these dark
lines is accomplished by different
hight waves reaching the screen in OPP
posite phases so as to blot out or can
Gel the effect due to each. In like man.

OF star dancing is on a cold. crisp
night. The telescope should be point

POWDER AND GUNS.
Evidence That They Were Used Long
Before the Christian Era.

OOtVVV VIZ SVVsSuGu
There Is abundant evidence that the
origin OF gunpowder aud artillery
goes far back In the dim ages OF the
past.
The Hindoo code. compiled long be-
fore the Christian era. prohibited the
making OF war with cannon and
guns or any kind OF firearms. Quintus
Curtius Informs us that Alexander
the Great met With fire weapons In
Asia. and phllostratus says that Alex.
ander's conIuests were arrested by
the use Of gunpowder. 1t Is also
written that those wise men who lived
In the cities OF the Ganses "over-
threw their enemies with tempests

The German emperor some time ago

his ancestors decided a difficult case
in the seventeenth century. The his

follows:
A young girl had been murdered.
Suspicion fell upon two young soldiers.
Ralph and Alfred. who were suitors
for her hand. They both denied their
guilt. and even torture failed to ex-
tract a confession from either.
Then Elector Frederick William de
cided to cut the knot by means Of the
dice box. The two soldiers should
throw for their lives and the loser
should be executed as the murderer.
The event was celebrated with great
solemnity. Ralph had the first chance
and threw SKIES, the highest possible
number. The dice box was then given
TO Alfred. He fell on his knees and
prayed. Then he rose to his feet and
threw the dice with such force that
one OF them was broken. The whole
one showed six. the broken one also
gave six on the larger portion. and
