It is a beautiful custom of the churches of the present day, and becoming more and more common, to recognize and celebrate their "fore-father's Not for their praise and renown, for they have long since passed into spheres, where our opinion of them is of no interest, but that we may recognize and set forth the course of events set in motion and wrought out by their work. Of the great uninspired men of the past, no one stands higher in the far-reaching results of his work, than Luther.

After more than four centuries, his fame is still of such prominence as to easily place him in the front rank of those men, the mention of whose names is sufficient to fully designate them to the world without descriptive or honorary title. Following so shortly after our election it is easy to appreciate the value of the name of Senator or Honorable or Senator, but what title so touches the American heart as the simple name of Washington or Linooln or Grant? What letters attached would carry additional dignity to the name of Gladstone or Bencon field? Such men stand alone as beaconlights on the Bea of humanity that surges at their feet. Such is Luther none greater than whom, sicce Paul. The reformation achieved by Luther is the most momentous revolution of society since the foundation of christian history. lie was the chosen instrument to bring about a radical change in the world, using as his only weapon the double-edged sword of truth in the bat- ties with error and ecclesiastical corrup tion.

There was an eminent fitness for his work in the remarkable combination of elements that qualified him for his great undertaking. His intense convictions became a part of himself, rendering him more willing to die than sacrifice his conscienca ''Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise, God help me," was an expression of allegiance to conscience. He could not be moulded by prevailing opinions or adverse circumstances. He was not a lump of clay, but granite. Obstinate it mav be, but an obsticancy which we rejoice an obBtanacy of which martyrs are made.

He was a man of the people, deeply in sympathy with youth and humble life. In one of his sermons he said: "When I preach, I sink myself deep down. I regard neither dootors nor magistrates, of wbcm I have above forty in this churcb, but I have an eye to the multitude of young people, children and servants, of whom there are more than 2,000. I preach to these. Will not the rest hear me? The door stands open to them.

They may be gone." Lnther had his faults. It requires no microscope to detect them. They are manifest. But terrible as were his rebukes and unrefined to us as is his language, yet his life work has elicited the commendations alike of Protestants and intelligent Catholics. James Freem.u Clarke, one of the most refined and intellectual men of our age, says: "The character of Luther had a mountainous grandeur.

When near Mount Blano you perceive the ragged precipices and shapeless ravines which deform it, but as you recede from it into the distance it appears to tower higher above its neighboring summits, and its features are softened by the intervening atmosphere and melted into strange tints and beautiful shadows, and it stands the objeot of reverence and wonder one of the most sublime objects in nature and most beautiful creations of God. So stands Luther, growing more and more the mark of reverence through succeeding centuries the real author of modern liberty and action, the giant founder of modern civilization, pure religion and a more widespread virtue than those which earlier ages were capable of producing." Thomas Carlisle says: "The whole world and its history waited for the birth of Luther. It is strange. It is great. It leads us baok to another birth-hour in a still meaner environment of which it is a fit that we say nothing that, we think only in silence.

I will call Luther a great man. Great in intellect, in courage, affection and integrity. One of our most lovable and precious men. Ureat, not as a hewn obelisk, but as an Alpine mountain. So simple, so honest, so spontaneous not setting up to be a great at all there for quite another purpose than to be great.

Ah yesl unsubduable granite, piercing far and wide into the heavens vet in the clefts of its fountains irreen and beautiful valleys with flowera A right spiritual hero and prophet! onoe more true son of nature, for whom these centuries and manv that are vet to come, will be thankful to heaven." Luther belongs to no one denomina tion, but to all protestant Christendom. He is the hero of the world and almost all nations and tongues honor him and his work, and his praise will increase as the years come and go and the world becomes better. May the Lord quicken the world in its love for the word, whioh Luther un bound and establish it in the Christian faith which he proclaimed and speedily become toe Kingdoms or (Jbrist, whose power alone made Luther and the reformation possible.

Myron Child met with a serious accident at 6 o'clock last evening as she was driving with some children in the family carriage from her residence on East Hill to meet her husband, who is employed in the car department of the Santa Fe road. When near the corner of Fourth and Liberty streets, about two blocks east of the coal hole, the horse took fright at boy on stilts and ran away. Mrs. Child was thrown out near the Liberty school house and received very dangerous injuries. None of the other occupants of the carriage were hurt.

Mrs. Child's scalp was split open from the back of the head clear over the head to the edge of the forehead, where the split divided and ran down into each eye. She was dragged some distance on her face and the dirt was ground into the wounds. Dr. Iserman, who lives near by, was called and he telephoned for Dr.

Roby to assist in dressing the wounds. It waB necessary to put about fifty stitches in the scalp before the wounds were closed. Other wounds were found on Mrs. Child and she was unoonsious two or three hours after the accident. The doctors say that if there are no serious internal injuries she may get well, although she is likely to be very slow in recovering.

Nebraska played a plucky game, but lacked the soientifio plays that distinguished the Kanaans. The day was windy and the ground soft. The sharp tackling on both sides prerented any long rnns, but Kansas greatly excelled in interfering for the runners. It was the greatest game ever played in Lincoln, and everyone freely admitted that the Nebraska boys learned something. There was no "dirty" playing, and good humor prevailed.

For the Nebraska boys Flippen the oolored halfback was the star player, while the Kansas team, as usual, played as one man. The Nebraska linemen nlnvarl a nt. rnn rr tram a nnr? Kansas had hard work holding them until the latter part of the game when their superior eo durance told, but there was no scoring in the last half. FIKST HALF. Kansas won the toes and chose the south side with the wind at their backs.

Nebraska had the ball and by means of the and line rushes gained 20 yardB, when the ball was lost on a fumble. For Kansas Matieson, with the aid of good blocking made 30 yards, then Kin-zie, Shepard and Piatt advanced the ball 37 yards in several tries, when the ball was lost to Nebraska on a fumble. Nebraska, however, soon fumbles and Kansas rushes the ball over the line just fifteen minutes after the playing began. Piatt kicks goal. Score, Kansas, Nebraska, 0.

Nebraska then forms the and gains 6 yards, and on successive rushes gains 3 yards then 1 yard, 1 yard and after four downs Kansas gets the ball and Shepard, by good blocking, gains twenty yards, Mend all eleven and Springer three. After three downs Piatt punts twenty yards and Nebraska gets the ball and advances it seventeen yards in six downs. Here Kansas gets the ball after a hard struggle, but soon loses on a poor run, Mendall being forced baok. It was the same hard struggle until Piatt punts the ball down the field and the ever watchful Kinzie, atoning the ball from the Nebraska fullback, makes a run, touching the ball down between the Nebraskan's goal poBts. Piatt kicks goal.

Score: Kansas 12, Nebraska nothing. But three minutes remain to Slay, and the ball is finally left on the ansae forty-yard line. SECOND HALF. The second half was distinguished by the desperate struggles of both teams and the leek of long runs. The ball went back and forth over the middle line, but was kept in the Nebraska territory moat of the time by the hardy Jayhawkers.

No score was made this half, and when time was called the ball was on the Nebraska forty-yard line. VANDKRBUILT UNIVERSITY DEFEATED. November 12. The University of the South defeated Van-derbiit university in a football game here today by the score of 28 to 14. PUKDTJJE ELEVEN SHUT OUT.

A Erisf History ef the Institution aad Its Handsome Home-While many Topeka people were familiar with the effort which secured the Library building and the library hall in which so much ot pleaaure and inapiration for better things have been enjoyed, it ia doubtless true that man have not realized that securing th building was really a small part of th work. There are many, also, who have never known much of th matter, beyond the part that a beautiful building and a well selected library are freely enjoyed without any apparent struggle.

Perhaps a little retrospection will not be uninteresting to the friends, both new and many of whom have given substantial aid and encouragement in the work. After the reorganization of th Ladiea Library association in 1871, so as to permit the male sex to struggle on equal terms, of $3 per year, tor a polite education, the library was accommodated in rented quarters on Kansas avenue, and after an existence, dependent largely upon the consumption at frequent periods, ot oysters, ioe cream and other delicacies, it became a free library supported by annual appropriations by the city council. A general law authorizing cities to establish and maintain public libraries was secured in February, 1886, tinder which a vote ot th people established an annual library tax, which, though at first iacufficicnt to pay even operating expense is now, by increase ot valuations sufficient tor tnat purpose and for the printing of a catalogue, which is bow under way. In April, 1S3L th Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railroad company and th Union Pacific Railroad oompany contributed 11200 each towards the erection ot a suitable library building, conditioned upon th legislature granting the right to erect the building on the Bute House square, so that it might remain a memorial of the desire of th corporations and th stat to foster th development of the higher qualities of humanity the artistic and intellectual growth of the people, in harmony with the wonderful material development which ha resulted from the building ot these two great systems of railroad.
