. Since entering the arena of thechalked lines no western team has made

'greater strides to prominence than thelowans. When a few years ago

Northwestern university of Chicago sched-

uled¬

a "practice" game with Ames , It hadno Inkling of the surprise that the lowanslater doled out to Its cloven by defeating It-

to the tune ot 36 to 0. Since that time theIowa "Cyclones" have had excellent coach-Ing

-

and are maintaining their reputation.During the last two years they have beencoached by Glen S. Warner , who Is nowhead coach at Cornell. They are beingcoached this season by Joe II. Meyers , thegood half back of the Iowa state Universityteam. The cloven is almost brand new thlayear , but commenced training four weeksbefore Nebraska and should therefore be In

excellent condition. The only players oflast year who have donned the canvas thisseason are Captain Tarr at right tackle , C.Griffith at right end , _and W. C. Edron atleft end. There was good material In lastyear's ecrub , however , and this has filledout the team excellently. The new candi-

dates¬

of prominence are : Smith nnd Walkerfor quarter ; Frltzcl , Roberts and LeClosefor backs , W. Griffith and Palmer for ends ,

Eckles and Dumphrey for tackles andChambers and Conner for guards.

NEWPORT NEWS , Vn. , Oct. 4.The battleship Illinois was successfullylaunched at 12:32: this afternoon amid thnenthusiastic cheers of a vast multitude ofpeople , and the blasts of hundreds of whis-tles.

¬

.

The weather was perfect. IJoats and trainscrowded with people began to arrive beforedaybreak , and by 11 o'clock , the hour forthe launching , the people had poured Intothe yard of the Newport News Shipbuildingand Dry Dock company. As many moreswarmed the decks of the steamers , tugs ,

yachts and other craft , which had taken uppositions ot vantage In the river opposite )

the Immense shipbuilding plant. At 10:30-o'clock

:

, Mlsa Nancy Letter , sponsor for theIllinois , accompanied by a distinguishedparty from Chicago , ascended the christen-ing

¬

stand. There was considerable delay Inperfecting all the preliminary arrangements !

but the Immense throng waited patientlyuntil the only remaining obstacle was thesingle plank which held the vessel In posi ¬

tion.A.

hush fell over the crowd as the sharpsaw cut Its way through the timber. Whenthe suorcmo moment came , Miss Letterpolsod the Bally decorated bottle of cham-pagne

¬

in her right band and as the bigbattleship moved slowly towards the river ,cast It against the receding bow. The bot-

tle¬

crashed Into a thousand fragments andthe wlno streamed down the side of thenation's new defender. As the great vesselmoved down the ways cheer after cheerwent up from the multitude of spectatorswhoso enthusiastic shouts almost drownedthe noisy welcome to the newcomer soundedby the whistles In the harbor. The Illinoisstruck the water with a resounding splash ,

and floated majestically out Into the stream.The battleship was soon "picked up" bytugs , which wcro In waiting and towed te-

a pier , where it will secure its boilers ,engines and other machinery.

Immediately after the launching severalhundred guests of the Newport News Ship-building

¬

and Dry Dock company boardedthe steamer Newport News for Old Point ,

where they will be entertained at a luncheonand banquet at the Chamberlain hotel.Toasts will bo responded to by GovernorTanner of Illinois , Governor Tyler of Vir-ginia

¬

and other prominent guests. Alaunching hop will be given at the Chamber-lain

¬

hotel this evening.Among the prominent people from the na-

tional¬

capital was Assistant Secretary of theNavy Allen , -who came hero from Ports-mouth , where ho has been Inspecting thenavy yard. Ho was on board the dispatchboat Dolphin and will also attend thelaunching luncheon at the Chamberlainhotel this afternoon. The steamer NewportNews brought down from Washington thefollowing Invited guests : Commodore andMrs. M. T. Endlcott , Captain A. S. Crownln-shield , Paymaster General Edwin StewartEnglnecr-ln-Chlef George W. Melville , Sur-geon General Van Reypcn and wife , OhlelConstructor Philip Hlchborn and wife , Cap-

tain and Mrs. Samuel C. Lemler , Judge ad-

vocate general , Secretary of AgricultureWilson and daughter , Assistant Secretarj-of War Melklejohn , Hon. Martin Knapp andwife , J. D. Yeoman and wife-

.At.

4 o'clock a Brand banquet was spreadto the distinguished guests. Covers wenlaid for COO persons. The assemblage was rbrilliant and distinguished one. PresidentC. B. Orcutt ot the Newport News shipbuild-ing plant was toastmaster. The toasts andspeakers were : "Our President ," by J. G-

President Orcutt read the following tele-gram from C. P. Huntiogton.

The great battleship takes its plucgo toelate for the war. but its mission Is none th (

Icsa grand and noble , for it will go forth noi-cnly as a defender of the flag and the honoi-of the nation , but as another guarantee niprotection to American citizens pverywhon-In pursuit of peace , prosperity und happi-ness.. May its mission bo so great that tingreat state whose name It bears may IKproud of Its namesake.-

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.

The suggestion made at the council meet-ing Monday talght to 1-avy a poll tax wasfavorably commented on yesterday , espe-cially in official circles. On account ot themany miles of unpaved streets It is almostan impossibility to keep the roads In c

passable condition with the amount leviedfor the purpose. Nearly every rain causessome damage which must be repaired , andIn many cases the work really needed has-

te bo postponed on account of the conditionof this fund. On an estimate of 3,000 vote ;

it Is figured that a poll tax as allowed bjlaw would bring Into the treasury at leasl6000. As this matter has never beenbroached before it may be Interesting to thepublic to read the law on the subject. Sec-

tion¬

79 ot the charter governing cities olthis class reads as follows : "Each city gov-

erned by this chapter shall provide , thaiall 'male residents of the corporation be-tween

¬

the ages of 21 and CO years shall , be-tween

¬

the 1st day of April and the 1st daj-of November of each year , either by them-selves or satisfactory substitute , perform twc-days' labor upon the streets , alleys , or high-ways

¬

within such corporation at such timeand plnco as the proper officer may directand upon thrco days' notice In writing givenAll persons so notified may commute thelabor so required by the payment of thesum ot $3 to the proper officer of the city. "Continuing the section provides for the ex-penditure ot the money thus collected ID

repairing and maintaining the streets , alleysand highways. For each day's failure to per-form

¬

the labor required delinquents shallforfeit to the corporation any sum not- ex-ceeding

¬

$1 for each day's delinquency. Theamount duo for labor tax shall be considereda lien and collected the same as other taxeson property.

With 'the vote o the city figured at 3,000and the annual tax at J3 per year It 1 :thought that fully two-thirds of the voterswill prefer to pay the tax rather thando the required work. With two-thirds olthe voters paying the tax the amount de-

rived will bo almost double the yearly ap-

propriation for street repair work.-

As.

the law provides that this work must bperformed or the payment for the same madeprior to November 1 ot each year It Is possi-ble that the scheme may not assume shapethis year. The ordinance can bo passedhowever , any time with the provision thaiIt take effect on April 1 next according' tc-

statutes. .

With an Income wuch as Is suggested th (

city would be In a position to purchase istreet sweeper and a road machine and bujthe teams necessary to work this machin-ery. .

Sentcniner Stamp Sale * .

September eTamp sales at the postOfflce

amounted toi400960.' The business at theoffice Is constantly on the Increase , eachmonth showlng''nn Increase in the receiptsover the corresponding month of a year ago ,

The amount of mall handled id al , o on theIncrease and itf wlll not bo long1 before adl-

tional-

help In the mailing room -will be-

needed. . All of the packing houses ore doingan enormous business at the present timeand the amount of mall cnt ftnd receivedby these corporations Is enormous.

Mall carriers report that there Is scarcelya vacant house In the city and In some In-

stances several families are living under one

roof. On account of the erratic system ol

numbering mall for delivery Is freuently de-

layed.¬

. A short time ago Postmaster McMillan sent a communication to the councilasking that all of the houses In the city be

renumbered under the supervision of thecity engineer. 'The communication was re-

ferred¬

to ft committee And up to the presenttime nothing has come of It. Another re-

quest¬

will most likely be made In the neatfuture. By having all of the houses prop-

erly¬

numbered the mall carriers say thattheir work would bo greatly lightened andpatrons of the office would receive their let-

ters¬

much sooner. Eo many houses havebeen built of late that In some of the wardsnot more than one-third are numbered.This causes confusion and In a measure pre-

vents¬

.residents from advising correspondentswhere to direct , mall to.

Second Wnnl IVniitu Protection.Henry Mies , ex-councilman from the Sec-

ond¬

ward , Is circulating a petition request-Ing

-

the city authorities , to establish a firehall In Brown Park. There Is no fire hallIn the Second ward nnd an effort Is to bomade to induce the council to cither rent-

er erect a building over there and installa hose company. This question has been upbefore , but has always been turned downon account of lack of funds. It is thoughtthat if the matter Is presented in theproper light and the residents of the wardgive their hearty support to the project theobject desired can be attained.

ciit-

Opening CxerulneitOccur dn }

WASHINGTON.Oct. 4. A notable assem-blage

¬

of the clergy and laity of the Protest-ant

¬

Episcopal church will be brought to-

gether¬

at the triennial council of Chat churchorganization which begins here tomorrowand continues for three weeks. The councilIs the legislative organization of the Episco-pal

¬

church In America and Is made up oftwo bodies , a house ot bishops , comprisingall Episcopal bishops throughout the countrynnd on missionary service for this country ,

and a house ot clerical and lay delegates ,

which more directly represents 'the church.The last council was held at Minneapolisthrco years ago and was memorable for thepersonnel of Us delegates and the highcharacter of the discussion , Rlnco then nowand Important questions have come beforethe church , not the least arising out of theLambeth conference In England , and therelations which the American church Is tcsustain to the parent church ot England.The council this year aggregates about l-SQ

delegates , Including bishops , clergy nnO-

laity. . Besides these , thcro arc a numberof adjuncts to the council , including theWoman's auxiliary and the Board ot Mis-

sions¬

, which hold their sessions at the sametime. Many of the delegates will be ac-

companied¬

by their wives and families , andaltogether It Is expected that the council willdraw together 3,000 persons Interested IP

the Episcopal church work.The bouse of bishops has a membership

of eighty-four bishops , representing all theorganized dioceses and the missionary Juris-dictions.

¬

. The presiding bishop Is the vener-able

¬

Right Rev. John Williams of Connecti-cut

¬

, but ho Is not expected to attend owingto his advanced age. Next ) In seniority isBishop Clarke of Rhode Island , but he alsoIs likely to bo absent , leaving Bishop Whlp-plo of Minnesota as the senior bishop pres-ent

¬

As such he will call the council to-

gether¬

and conduct the opening services onWednesday morning. At this service bothhouses sit together , after which their uusl-ness sessions will be held Independently.

The house of clerical and lay delegates lamade up of eight delegates from each of thefifty-eight Episcopal dioceses of the country ,

of which four are clergymen and four laydelegates. The mission jurisdictions com-prise

¬

an Important branch of the organiza-tion

¬

, there being twenty-two within the ter-ritory

¬

ot the United States , besides in for-eign

¬

lands. Ten now bishops enter thecouncil for the flrst time this year , viz. :Bishops Howe ot Alaska, Burton of Lexing-ton

¬

, Johnson of Los Angeles , Satterleo olWashington , G. M. Williams of Marquette ,

Morrison of Duluth , Brewster of ConnecticutGibson of Virginia , McVlcar of Rhode Islandand Brown of Arkansas.

Among the subjects to bo discussed thequestion ot marriage and divorce will doubt-less

¬

occupy a prominent place. Other Im-portant

¬

questions will concern the provincialsystem , the establishment ot an appellatecourt , the Christian unity , Swedish , ecclesi-astical

¬

relations to the Lambeth conference ,

the translation of the prayerbook , marginalreadings In the bible , etc. The report of thecommittees and canons of the church Is byfar .the heaviest pleco of work before theconvention- ,

, The sessions of tbo bouse of bishops arcsecret , but those of the clergy and laity areopen to the public. The business of eachday will be preceded by religious uervlceaand communion. The Washington clergyand laity are providing every accommodationto make the stay of the delegates agreeableand large local committees are in chargeof the several branches of reception , hopsltal-Hy

-

, public comfort , etc.

RELEASE THIRD NEBBASKANS-

Secretarr of War Allow * ColonelDrynn'n Itrqnciit (or HIn Men

to lie Sent Home.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 4.The request olColonel Bryan of the Third Nebraska forthe discharge of a number of men of thatregiment who desire to return to their homeswas granted by the secretary of war todaynnd In about fifteen other cases which hadreceived the approval of the company andregimental officers and of the brigade corpscommanders.

They were based upon various reasons , In-

cluding¬

Ill-health and private business ne-cessities.

¬

. It Is understood that there arenearly 100 men In the regiment who aredoing their utmost to secure their dis-charge.

¬

. It U said that Colonel Bryan hasIndorsed the applications of many coses , butthat they lack the approval ot the brigadeand corps commanders. In cose of favora-ble

¬

action by tbo reviewing authorities theapplication will be granted by the War de-partment

¬

without further consideration. Ap-

plications¬

lacking the favorable Indorsement-of the reviewing officers will each be Inde-pendently

¬

Investigated and decided on Ita-

merits. .

It Is said at the War department thatnothing has yet been heard from the gov-

ernor¬

of Nebraska regarding the selectionof the Nebraska regiment to be musteredout In order to bring the number ot troopsfurnished by that state within the regula-tion

¬

quota. As understood hern thn gov-

ernor¬

desires before reaching a decision litthat matter to hear from the officers andmen of the two regiments concerned theFirst regiment now In the Philippines andthe Third regiment (Colonel Bryan's ) nowat Jacksonville , Fla-

.It.

is further stated at the departmentthat in case Colonel Bryan desire* an ex-

tension¬

of leave he would apply therefor tohis brigade commander and not to the Wardepartment , that Is , unless ho should deslroleave for more than thirty days. Brigadecommanders arc authorized to grant leavesof absence to the officers of their commandsfor a period not exceeding thirty daya. Allapplications for leave for more than thirtydays must be acted upon by the secretary 'if-

war. . It, is not anticipated that ColonelBryan will have any difficulty In securingan extension of leave , especially In view ofthe fact that he has not yet fully recoveredhis health.-

A.

surgeon's certificate ot disability In hiscase Is all that Is necessary to secure himan extension of leave. When Colonel BryanJeft Jacksonville ho had leave of absencefor seven days. That leave bus about ex-

pired.¬

. Ho has made no application to theWar department to have his leava extended.

RICHMOND , Va. , Oct. 4. Colonel WilliamJ. Bryan arrived at Culpepper from Wash-ington

¬

, Intending to enjoy the day with rela-tives

¬

there. His wife was with him. Hebad planned Co leave tomorrow for HalSprings , Va. , but bad scarcely got settledbefore bo received an order from the Watdepartment ordering him to rejoin bis regi-ment.

¬

. He left at once for Jacksonville withMrs. Bryan.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 4. It Is stated althe War Department that no orders 'havebeen issued to Colonel W. J. Bryan to re-

turn¬

at once to his regiment

gation¬

to Increase the strength ot Its rs-corl

effect In keeping up the friction of-

Yuan Shcng has been appointed a memberof the ( sung 11 yamen. His appointmentIs Interpreter. Well Informed people are Indoubt as to whether LI Hung Chang willreturn to power. But , the absence of nowafrom the palace leads to the assumption thatthe power of the dowager empress Is defi-nitely

¬

assured.Further changes are Improbable , as the

emperor Is now reduced to a state of tutel-age.
