THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY. DECEMBER 10, 1880 THE LOCAL FIELD OF SPORT. > Dad Olarke Wil Pitch the Game of His Life Next Season. THE POLO DUDES TONIGHT. WWhat Anson Says of Nagle and Conney ~A Knight of the Double Cross — Seles Refuses to Talk—fhe Foxy Senator. What Dad Will Do, Dad Clarke, having satisfactordly arranged Lis affairs here, will leave for Oswogo this evening. For six months’ sarvice next sea- son he will receive the handsomo sum of 42,150, in a contersation with last evening ho said *Next season I expect to pitch better ball ever before. My work in California 0yos to the fuct that I was never n here once last summer. 1 went out there and went right into the box the day following my arrival, and the Stock- tons inmbasted me hard, yet not hard encugh t win the game. A day or two after that L was seized with malarial Tover and for a week was a pretty sick man. I was under a first class physician's charge, however, and although he puc me through a * rather severe course of medication, he brought me out all right and afier that I itoned the besy game of my life. I felt as trong as a horse, my oye was clear, my nerves steadv _and the way I sent them neross the rubber with lilacs on made those Occidental ducks crazy. In the last four gamies played azainst such a stroag team as the Oaklunds are they only made ecleven hits off of me, and only two one game. “Now, next spring, say about the last of bruary, P'll tell you what I'm going o do, 'm going to put myself in the hands of a o0d doctor and have him get me in first lass condition before 1 ever touch n ball. Then when I get back here to Omaha it I dont hold up my _end with Swartzel, Saunders or any of the rest of the pitchers n this asso- ciation, you can take my head for a foot- bali. Clarke, who is really a sensible, lovel- fieaded little fellow when he wants to be, Blso said that he would much rather play here than in the Brooklyn Brotherhood team. Ho isn’t quite suro the salaviss will bo fortheoming there, but he knows they will be nere, and he is of the opinion that a bird m the hand is worth o whole flock in the bush. He said, however, nothing for or against the brotherhood. and is perfectly sat- jsfied that they will oahead and try to make B win of it. The Polo Game Ton-ght. There will undoubtealy bea large erowd | present at the Coliseum this evening to see the two dude teams of the polo loague strug- gle for victory. These are the Omaha ‘Guards and the Omaha Wheel Club fives, and as each has a legion of followers the enthusiasm over the gamo will evidently be unbounded. The Wheel Club boys consti- tute one of tho best teams in the organiza- tion, and the Guards must needs be upon {heir mettle 1t they would carry off the the great twirler than aurels, If they do down tho bykers, how- bver, their victory will ve all the more sweot, as the universal opinion seems to be that the Wheel Club five will have a wali- over. Now, what the Guards want to do is 10 jump right in and fool 'em. Selee’s Lins Are Sealed. In a letter from Frank Seloe, the manager £the Boston league base ball team, he says, hat for the time being, his lips are sealed as lar as the baseball status is conccrned. He ntimates, however, that there will be sev- eral magnificent surprises ere the ides of March are here, and hints that Beantown is oo 0% going to get left in the grand shufle. He much elated over the sccurement of Kid ichols, and ventures the opinion that he Will be onoof the strongest men in the box next year m any of the ussociations. Seleo expressed a kindly .regard’ for Omaha ana Baid that ho hoped the local team would be %8 great one as iast season. and that we ‘would be enablea to cling to the pennant. The Old Man's Opinion. In speaking of the men signed for Chicago pext season, Captain Anson says: “Now there's Nagle, for instance; he pomes to us from Omaha with a record all ool and several yards wide. As a catcher had no superior in the Witorn loague pnd the people out there were dead stuck on him. He is an excellent turower, a clever base runner, and he ambles along with a batting average around the .300 mark, *“And then there's Cooney, whn ulso comes rom Oma Maybe he isn't a baby! He n play olmoat any position on a ball fiold, and last season ho covered third, stort, atch, and all the outfield positions in rilliant style. As a base-runner he is the equal of Duffy, and as a butter he hus an averago of . Where will I play him! In the feld most likely, but at just what point X cannot say.” Morgan's Turn Nexw Senator Morgan and Fred Merrill of Port- and, Ore., rode another race Friday night n the Mechanie'’s pavilion of that city for 200 a side, Merrill winning. A week ago he foxy Senator beat the Oregonian, now gernll beats him, and so, of course, its organ’s ume next. A Knight of the Double Cross, “Dan J. Ross, at one time the champion Bprinter of America, is in the city,” says the Wost Point Progress. *‘Mr. Ross was for- merly sporting editorof the Police Guazetto, and later held the same position on the Omana Ber. He is sma to be the judge of Bthlotic sports in the United States." This man Ross has evidently been stuffing the Progress reporter. He nover held a po- sition of any kind on either the Police Gazetto or Tur Bep, and he has no roputa- tion s an authority on athletic sports. Here- Abouts this man is known asa skin sprint runner, o man who would eive his best friend the *‘cross and the ‘“‘double cross,” with as little compunction as a hog has for a rotten apple. He has been engaged in a number of villaiuous fakes in_this vicinity, sud ouly last spring gave John J. Harain sod another maha friend the *“double cross” in araceat Linwoln to the tune of Al e UL Edward Quann's Funeral. ‘The funeral of the late Edward Quann yesterday was a sad oyent. ‘There were only four men present to carry the casket, and aside frow the wife and her five little children there were only a fow friends in avtendance.

L. §Braden, Tekamah; J, S. pencer, Craig. The Omaha churches were reyresented by the following ministers: W, J. Harsha, J. G. Scuaible, S. M. Lodge, Josiah Milligan, Asa Leard, John Gordon, D. D., 4. M. Wilson, W. R. Henderson. The elders of the Presbytery were repro- sented by Isaac Noyes of Waterloo, and Dr, J. M. Kuhn and T. M. Vancourt of this city. Rov. J. M. Wilson prosided over the de- liberations of the body. The case of the Rev, J. L. Countermine, who was duly instalied as pastor of the Waterloo church the 1st of September, was brought up by the Rev. W. K. Henderson of the Second Presbyterian chureh of this city. Mr. Henderso: ad several communica- 1 from the Rev. Countermine, giving his r ons for his sudden disappearance. One letter was addressed to the Presbytery and asked that thetic existing between himself and the Waterloo congregation be dissolved, Stating as a reason that tho salary he was to receive, $300 por annum, was too small, as ne had just graduated from a seminary and had a great many debts to pay off. He also stated that he bad received more tempting offers from other places, Another lottar road was addressed o the church at Waterloo and was dated at Chi- cago. The letier was of the same purport as the first one. Mr. Henderson then road a letter ad- dressed to himself in which Mr. Counter- mino stated that he had left the Waterloo church because he did not recoive the proper supvort from the congrogation and because there was 8o much ill foaling between the members, some not speakiug to others on account of old feuds. He also mentioned tho salary question as having some weight .In his action. Mr. Henderson then stated briefly the cir- cumstances of the young man’s connection with the Waterloo churcu. Mr. Counter- mine came licro last spring and secired an engogement with _the Waterloo cnurch, and preached there u few weeks. In June the members of the Presbytery went to Water- loo 1n 8 body and installed the young man as the pastor of the church. 1n'September they were surprised to hear that he had de- serted his charge and had gone to a place in Wisconsin to another chure _Elder [saac Noyes of Waterloo was asked 0 throw a little ight on thesubject.” He re- peated what had already been said and stated that the Waterloo peopls were well satisticd with their minister and wanted him to stay, but he seemed to think the salary was not large enough, 80 they had eranted nis request for a release because they thought ho would not come back any way A resolution was introduced to the effect that the contract botween the preacher and his congregation be not dissolved, but this met with some opposition on the ground that this would be doing an injustice to the church and it was finally resolved to repri- mand the young man and demand that he apologize to the presbytery for his unminis- terial *action in renouncing a contract which had been knowingly entered into. Several applications from churches in the district of the presbytery for assistance in the shape of money to aid in paying minis- ters’ salaries were then read and sums vary- ing from 8100 to $400 were allowed the fol- lowing churches: Tekamah, Silver Creek, Humphry, Creston, Tracy Valley and Walt nut Hill. The Knox Presbyterian church was al- lowed $1,000 toward the fund for building a new church in Kountze Place. After transacting other routine business the presbytery adjourned. CLARKSON ON THE The Omaha Fair Association’s Unsuc- cessful Suit Against the M. P. Ry. Judge Joseph R. Clarkson received his certificate of election Saturday and entered, unon his duties as judge of the district court yesterday morning. The first case before him was that of D. G. Doane against P. J. Craedon, for $200 for commission for thesale of real estate. Ex- Judge Davis appeared us ona of the attor- neys for the defense. He had all of his ju- dicial business closed up ou Saturday expect- ing his successor’s qualification. A verdict for the defense was returned in the case of the Omaha Fair association against the Missouri Pacific railway com- any, The action was a suit for $26,000 rought to recover the amount of tho 10ss by fire at the fair grounds in October, 1887, the plamtins alloging tnat the fire was caused by sparks from the engines ot the railway com- pany. The defense presented was that the fire was caused from a camp fire which had been made on the grounds by some pigeon shooters. The case was on trial all of last week. ‘The case of Allen agai for balance due as wi Judge Doane, Jobn Anderson, sixty-five years of age, o squatter living on the river bottoms, con- fessed before Judge Hopewell this after- noon to having confidenced a stranger out of $50. Anderson, in a trembling voice, told the court that he commwitted the crime to keep his wife and family from starving. He Wwas sentenced to eighteen months in the pen- itentiary. E, E. Naugle & Company have commenced suit against . T, Clark, L. C. Burr and the Uity of Lincoln for $31,089.06, due as a re- serve on a paving contract. The amount is bemng held by the eity of Lincoln as a secur- ity for a claim sgainst H. T, Clark in con- !‘:uclhm with a sale of the city’s ponds made y him. Mary . Paris has filad a petition for a divoroe from her husband, Fred R. Paris, on the grounds of desertion. ‘The case of Tan Bowman, charged with the murder of Jack Kinney, was galled in Judge Hopawell's court late yesterday after- noon. The defendant was represented by Lee Tastelle, who was so ill asto be scarcely ablo to stand, and at his request the hoaring of tho case was nostponed untl the next term of court, Archie Harvey, and Chase and Jesse Green were put under $200 bonds each to ap- pear as witnesses when the cass comes 10 trial. Bowman's bail was reduced from $15,000 to $10,000. United Siat>s Usurt, The cases of the United States against Richards and the Dakots f.and and Cattle company for cutting government timber were both dismissed. The suit against Rosa Smith for perjtry was dismissed. This is the last of the Ogal- alls cattle cases. Elliott C. Olmsted and Silas Purdy of At- kinson are both in tie toils for illegitimavely swelling the coinage of the country, They went 200 miles from home to circulate their counterzeit dollars, choosing Itushville, Neb,, as their scene of operations. When arrested, Purdy had sixteen coupterfeit dollars on his n. The evidence against the prisoners is said to be very strong. The evidence in the case is to the effect that the,men passed urious coin av the postoftice, receiving atamps in exchange, and that they also suc- ceeded in working off a couple of dollars on o lunch man, while a barber exchanged several shaves for one of the bogus *‘sumol- eons.” The caso will go to the jury today. Thocase of Jack Calhioun for embezziing internal revenue funds is still being investi- ated by the grand jury which adjourned at go'ulonk yestorday until today, pending the arrivel of more witnesses. “‘Nora" Henry, the young man who con- ducted the *‘matrimonial ugency” at Ne- braska City vleaded guilty to the charge of using the mail for Amproper purvoses, He was not sentenced, the court having decided to give him n chance w muke restitution to his victims. It appears that Heury obtained @ gold watch from one party, $30 in cash from another, 80 from another and $108 from the last. Judge Dundy remarked that if Henry would retarn the money and prop- erty he would dcal more clemently with him than otherwise and remanded him ta jail to Awalt seatsnce.

A MOVE FOR THE STATE FAIK . Omaha Will Make a Big Bid for the Location. - ORGANIZING A STOCK COMPANY, The Board of Trade Enthusiastioc on the Subject—Work to be Com- menced at Once to Raise Fands, After the State Fair. Omaha will hang up §200,000 as a prize to secure the location of the stata fair for the next five y 'hat was the decision roached ut a well at- tended meeting of the board of trade last night after the matter had been tully dis- cussed. The question of making a bid for the loca- tion was introduced by Mr. H. G. Clurk, who reported the action of the Douglas county ultural society in appropriating $2,000 toward a fund to secure the location. Then a letter was found on the sec- rotary’s desk from Chris Hartman in which he said he wovld jump at the chance of being one of 100 Omaha men w put in §l,5 eack toward making the necessary arrange~ ments to secure the fair and accommodate it Mr. ller didn't want to go auy further until he found out whether the state board would give Omaha a chance for the location in case she made an offer as good as or bet- ter than any other competitor. Mr* Martin Dunham, a member of the state board, replied that ho felt assured that if Omaba made a bona fide proposition equally as good as that from any other city, the fair would be located here. Questioned as to what would be necessary to offer, he stated that tho grounds should at least have 100 acres, with improvements valued at $50,000. Fo thougnt the best way to accomplish ' the object wouid be to form a stock company, buy the grounds and put up the necessary buildiugs. The venture would prove s paying one whother the state fair is secured or not. “How much mouey will the state fair leave in Omahu cach year!” asked one of the members, *It left $400,000 in Liacoln last yoar,” re- plied Mr, Dunham, *and I am confident that it would average a half million a year to Omaha for the five yoars.” Mr. Dunham explained further the im- mense benefits resultivg from ths adver- tisement that comes to a city through o state fair. He explained the system of state fair circoits by which the exhibitors from a half- dozen states visit the state fairs where no sized premiums can induce them to attend a local fair, Enthusiastic speeches endorsing the pro- ject of organizing a stock company and tak- ing immediate action to secure the fair loca- ton were made by J. Wikefiold, P. E. ler, H. G. Clark, J. S. Gib> son, President Martin and others. It was finally decided to appoint a committee to secure tenders of locations and one to prepare articles of incorporation of a Fairassociation with a capital steck of $200,000, both committees to report at @ special ‘meeting to be held next Monday eveninz. President Martin appointed: On location, J. A. Waketield, M. Upton, George C. Ames, Chris Hartman and J, H. Huntiog- ton; on incorporation, W. N Nason, John Evans, G. W. Nattinger, H. G. Clark and J. 8. Gibson. The routine business of the board was then transucted. Treasurer Clark announced that he had funds on hand to take up a good sized share of the board’s second mortgage bonds and requested that the holders tocome up and get their cash. Bills amounting to $375.65 were approved and ordered paid. The property committes reported rents collected for November amounting to $1,960.- 87; rents collectea, December 1 to December 9, $1,350.68; past due rental account, $094.91; unoccupied rooms 8, with & rental 'value of $142.16. ] ‘The committee on transportation reportea in favor of the board approving the passage of the Torrey bankrupt law. Some difference of opinion prevailed among the members as 1o the advisability of having a bankrupt law, and the matter was deferred for one month and a meeting of the wholesale merchants called in the meantime to discuss the merits of the proposed measure. - The committee on transportation also re- ported in favor of the adoption of a resolu- tiou urgine t:e Nebraska delegation in con- gress to work for a reduction of letter post— age to 1 cent per ounce. 'The matter was re- ferred to the special meeting of jobbers o lhe called to consider the proposed bankrupt aw, Messrs. Euclid Martinand John A. Wake- field of the committes appointed to attend the St. Louis fair presented a report. The gentlewen were impressed with the fact that the St. Louis association has a fair and ex- vosition running tosether. 'Phey recom- mended that the Omaha association secure first a suitable location for permanent fair and exhibit. The animals at the St. Louis fair formed a very favorable impression on the Omaha visitors and they thought that something of the kind would form a very pledsing uttraction for the Omaba associa- tion. ‘The committee was also pleased with the plan of the St. Louis association in using’ their grounds for park purposes when the fair was not in session. ‘The revort was ac- eepted, A communication from eastern parties with reference to the proposed location of a can manufacturing estabhshment in Omaha was received and referred to the committee on manufactures. President Kuclid Martin brought up the subject of discrimination in the matter of freight rates in favor of Council Bluffs and ugamst Omaha. He stated that while freight rates are cqual to Council Bluffs and Omaha on goods from the east and goods going west, Omaha pays 5 cents a hundred more on goods shipped east. The prosident was authorized to appoint a committee to en~ deavor to regulate the matter, Mr. Gilman's scheme for advertising Ne- braska by sending a car of her products _on #0 eastorn trip, wus referred to a committee of the board, composed of G. W. Lininger and W. N. Nason to report upon the besy scheme of fitting up a car 10 represent Ne- braska. | ‘The s rectors were authorized to have 200,000 circulara advertising Omaha pre- pared for distribution by the merchants with their mail. The scheme was warmly approved by the members and onthusiastic speeches were made endofsing this step and promising aid 1n helping to advertise Omahs and the swate, (e PUBLLC WORKS.

Leeuwarden was the ancient capital of Friesland, and is still a large and busy town, carrying on a considerable tratfic in cattle and farm produce. We visited this delightful town under the most. favorable circumstances on a Friday—market day—and in fine weather. The cattle market was a complete study in black and white, with its vows and rows of black and white cows and more bulls than I ever saw be(ore. There were numbers of little calves standing in groups or being deiven, but also a great many being pushed in barrows. The men were, almost with- out exception, dressed in black wnd sol- emnly shook hands as they completed a bargain, (B The workingwoman, as is usual in Holland, wore black-stuff dresses, while the farmers’ wives wore sombre and rather antiquated-looking dressds and mantels, with an ordinary bonnet sur- mounting a lace capand gold and silver helmet. These caps have often wide- plaited “curtain,” and look odd under a common-place bonnet, and one can but wonder why ‘the Duteh vrouws never thought of leaving off the cap, helmet and an under closo-fitting can of black or colored stuff, also usually worn when wearing a bounet. The market-place and ad jacent streets were set out with stalls fitfed with wares of every kind—ment, drapery, stable and harness requisities, bonnets and materials for millinery. crockery, sweets, ginger-bread of imposing size and color, and toys of a very primative sort, and every 1imaginable thing besides. Many of the goods were displayed on the ground along the sides of canals, and fishwives, cheap jacks, pigs and dogs all helped to sweil the constant chorus of sounds. Nearly all the live stock was brought to market by canal, as well as cheese and other goods, and there was a constant lading and unlading going on along the canals in every busy street.
