On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

We can't get it through our
noodle why it is necessary to
bring speakers from all states
of the Union to Minnesota to
tell the people of the state of
the excellent state government
in this state. We don't hear
of our large array of excellent
speakers being asked to tell of
our Farmer-Labor administra-
ton in other states. If our
state political set-up is such a
boon to humanity and almost
holy, according to speakers
from other states, it's some
what of a wonder why they
don't advocate such a regime
in their own states.

CITY TAX Levy
SET FOR 1887
BY C0UNc
Increase of $4,000 Over Last
Year Ordered by Council
for 1887 Budget.

AS can be seen by reading the pro-
ceedings of the City Council in another
place in this paper, a tax levy OF
$312,22 was decided on in the budget
for 1887 by the city fathers at their
meeting on Thursday evening and this
sum was ordered certified to the county
auditor.
The amount for last year in the bud
get was 1898 ,275, $4,000 less than this
years levy. An increase was budgetcd
for the interest and general fund this
year and also an increase in the per-
manent improvement fund.
The increases were deemed necessary
to properly maintain these funds in
view of existing conditions. Budgets
were pared to the bone in the levy and
only absolute necessary expenditures
were considered.

Less than a week ago I promised
you, my constituents, that 1 would
pick no All-America football team
this season and gave for reason
that it was such a large task that
no one man could happily accom-

But I'm afraid I'm going TO have
to break my promise, for on Satur-
day in Lincoln 1 saw a football
player who was such a stromped-
down honey Cf a man weighing
better than 200 pounds and hard as
reinforced concrete can be honey
that it would keep me awake at
night if I didn't put him on an
All-American eleven.
The gentleman's name is Fran

to 6 by Pittsburgh's Panthers.
Although he was on the losing

number from so to IS and you
won't be far wrong.
During the sixty minutes Of play
this is all Sam, the tireless one,
did:
All the punting for Nebraska and
finished with a 45 yard average.
His last kick of the game, after
nearly an hour of bruising play,
travelled 30 yards on the fly.
Threw all the passes, including
the perfect one which gave Neb-
raska its only touchdown.
Made fully half his teams

Was the equal of any blocker on
the field.
Carried the ball on half of Neb-
raska's plays.

during the game, and even Ber-
wanger expressed amazement at the
mans versatility and stamina. Com
ing from Jay this was a high COM
pliment, indeed, for Berwanger was
all dear old Chicago had for three
long years, and was no mean work.
horse himself. He did everything
but sweep out the stands at the end
of the game.
Francis is a left-handed passer
and left-handed kicker. But he
does everything right, if you get
what I mean. He can throw the
ball mile, and at mile-a- minute
clip. yet it lands soft. And If he
isn't the best kicker in college foot
