~ from this
came the name Of the state. A
nickname for the state Is the
Blackwater State.
or the early Spanish explora-
tions little is known, except that
Coronado probably reached the
great plain Of this region in 1871.
More than one hundred and
twenty-five years later Father
Marquette noted the Platteeriver
on his trip up the Missouri. IN
the beginning OF the Nineteenth
century the Lewis and Clark ex-
petition skirted the boundaries
of the present state and in 1905.
Manuel Lisa established the
first known settlement which was
a fur trading post at Bellevue.
This was just after the Louisiana
Purchase had brought Nebraska
into United States territory.
Omaha was established as a
post of the American Fur COM
pany in 1925 and Nebraska City
the following year.
With the California gold rush
in 1919 many pioneers passed
through Nebraska and some
stopped and settled there Ill
though there was a law forbid
ding settlements among the In
dams. The real colonization
boom, however, started with the
passing of the Kansas-Nebrask
act in 1854, which arranged that
these two sections should become
free or slave states at the die
tate Of their inhabitants, The
Nebraska territory was then or
ganized and reached from the
fortieth TO the forty-ninth paral-
lei. In 1861, the region north
OF 43 was made into Dakota
territory. The Idaho territory
was also created, which re-
duced Nebraska to its present
size of 1880 square miles, ex-
cept for a slight addition in the
Northwest which was made in
1882.
In 1867 Nebraska was admit
ted as the 37th state over the
presidents veto. 1t has eight
presidential electors.

Howard Bulldogs Out to Trounce
 ChattanoogGnS

With the Chattanooga fracss m view, the Howard Bulldogs are work lng harder and are looking better than they have looked since the sea son started, and from the present conditions 1t seems as though How ard Is going to give the Chattanooss outfit a good scrap.
 Though the team Is in good shape there are two or three men upon whom Howard has been depending who are bunged up quite bit. One of these men Is "Boilermaker" Afford. the husky captain Of Sne Howard eleven. Afford received a hard fall Monday and hls shoulder is hurt So bad that it Is very doubtful whethor or not he will be able to be in Sat urday's game or not. Howard has others who play a good game on the line and would probably be able to stop the Chattanooga rush, but there are very few men anywhere who could do it as good aa Afford. and his injury means a pretty injury to the Bulldogs.
 Pat shores Ont
 Fat Shores Is still nursing a car buncle on his arm and it is doubtful if he will be in the game Saturday. He played in the Jacksonville game with his arm in bad condition and received such hard knocks on it that 1t iS probable that he will be out

of the e-coning fracas with Chatts noosa.
 Aside from shores and Afford, ths team Is In good shape. and ought to make the Noogaus work all four quarters Saturday One of the men V ho is likely to be an important fac tor iu making the Chattanooga ag- gregation work hard and fast Is Gar rett. the big gent who has been play Ing right tackle for the Howardites At the beginning of the season Gar rett played in the bacKfleld, but on account of his size and tackling abil- ity he was put on the line. This was evidently a very wise move, for the big boy has been going like house 'afire on tho line in every game e.ne- it takes a mighty good man 10 gain anything over Garrett's tackle.
 Mule" stubbs, the old Central star, is another one who looms up as a big snag In Chattanooga's path Stubbs did not show anything more than just ordinary football when he first went out for the team, on ac- count of being unaccustomed to end. However, he has. gotten on to the job now. and with his tackling abil- ity and power he should be mighty dangerous man for Towards oppo- nents.

TWO SCHOOLS OF

 IN FORBES REPORT
Placement of Ex-SerVice Men Under Conditions That Are Criminal and Relating to
 Slavery Is Charged
By Associated Press

Washington, October 1S.-E lace- ment of ex-servioe men under con ditions that are criminal and relating to slavery" was charged by Director Forbes of the veterans bureau in an address today at the first meeting of the bureaus district managers.
 Colonel Forbes criticized in detail the system by which ex-servios men had been placed in training and in the course of hls address and later through a formal statement issued from the veterans bureau announced the disapproval of contracts held by 39 schools and individuals for train ing those disabled In the World war. In this connection he told the district managers that in a number of cases they had been derelict In their duty. You men had no records of the training history of the men" he as- serted. You should have had this information, but l had to dig 1t out for myself at an additional expense.
 The word has also gone around that certain districts have their own little political machines here in Wash ing ton to run the affairs of that dis trict. 1 want to warn those men
 
 going to wreck all political machines, and before I'm through with this ex- position this bureau Is going to be operated on sound, modern business principles and every phase of 1t is going to be clean and above board. q have nothing to apologize for in my statements that men have been placed in training under conditions that are criminal and relating tc slavery"
 The soldier rehabilitation division of the federal board for vocational training was blamed by Director Forbes for some of the difficulties encountered and a project in south ern California was mentioned by tho | director as a place where the mel | had no more chance than snowbal 1 in hades of being trained"

 Big Event

Atlanta, October 1s.-Jeanette Ram kin, chestnut mare, driven by McDon- ald, swept all competition aside in the feature event of todays grand circuit races here, taking tho 2:14 trot in straight heats and stepping off the final mile in 2:05.

SUSPENSION WILL PROBABLY BE THE PENALTY FOR BABE
Judge Landis Is Expected to Render His Decision In
 a Few Days

Chicago, October 1s.--A decision in the Babe Ruth post-season case by Judge K NJ. Landis. baseball commis- sioner, is expected within few days and the general impression prevail ing here today was that Ruth will be to keep him out of a few of next seasons games without pay.
 What goes up must come down." said Judge Landis. T notified Ruth two weeks ago that the rules pro- hibited this sort of thing..
 New York dispatches received here indicated that Ruth would receive no support from the Yankees clubown- CTS in his controversy with the judge. Col. s. Ruppert and Huston are quoted as saying
 Judge Landls has no alternative but to meet the situation firmly"
 Tho judges statement may be em- bell sSed with some of the repartee which have made his court cases mo- table, 1t was indicated in his remark that his forthcoming statement would show what kind of gentleman Ruth was" This was taken to be refer ence to Ruth's assertion that the judge hung up the receiver when Ruth called him on the telephone to discuss the transforming tour.
 Reports from Elmira. N. Y., where Ruth's aggregation played Monday, quoted Ruth as saying he would at tempt no appeal If Judge Landis sees fit to rule us out of baseball for the remainder of our lives" but that he believed he was only following a precedent set by other major league stars of former years.
