GATE RECEIPTS AND SALARY LIST. o and the Other t to One Will Be K y Div Wil Be Low-Towns That W Come In Now Ot Nports ing News, Cmicaco, TIL, Jan. 8.—R. W. McGuire, [J. W- Speas and (Jus Schelmzo, the committeo appointed to formulate a plan for the now Western Baso Ball 1ea; met this after- noon at the Weilington hotel. Aftor the conference Mr. Speas said that the commit- mittes decided to recommend two things for approval. Ono was that the secrelary of the new nssociation shall be given a list of player 10 seloct from and shall assign them to tho Qifferont clubs composing the league. Tho other recommendation was that the gato re- ceipts of oach game should be divic ®qually betwoen the homo and visiting clubs, 45 per cent o each club, and tho remaining 10 per cent to the association. The committee will probably meot in Chi- cago within tho next two weeks to form the league. It was said today that Toledo and Indianapolis will join tho league. If the former fails to do so, Grand Kapids is roady 1o take fts place. Milwaukee is now said to Do knocking for admission to the new lengue and will no doubt be taken in. The scramblo between the Hatch and Mor- ton factions in Minueapolis for a place i u the Jeague is arousing considerable gossip. Mor- ton is said to be leaging his competitors and will probably win on account of his backing. One of the magnates at the Wollington said the salary roli of each club in tho new asso- ciation will probably bo $2,300 4 month, or £17,500 for the season. WOOD TOOK A LAP, Cyclone Ashinger ¢ e e Could Not € pete Agninst, The greatest piecs of bicyble riding ever ‘witnessed in the Colisaum was the eight mile spurt last uight in which Billy Wood, the Englishman, took a lup (from Ashinger, tho “Oklahoma Cyciono.”” The doughty lttle rider from ncross the main set out for thelap about 8 o'clock, and_after cight miles hal been tolled off by most tremendous exertion, Wood accomplished what he started out to do, and that was take a lap from the American. To make it doubly interesting. Wa'lace Stage, by cline- ing closo to Wood's heels, also took a lap from Ashinger, regaining what bo lost on Wednesday night, and placing nim once more on oven terms with the Cyclono for secorid place. “The race, however, is not over yet by any means, for' Ashinger swears by the great horn-spoon that he will get that lap back in the first hour tonight or break a coupie of spokes in the endeavor. Tho chances aro greatly against this, though, us Woods is rding at & pace that was never excelled in a professional race in this or any other city, and that he is the oqal of tho fastest men in the world 1s u fact that remains to be disproven. Tonight and the chase will ond, and when 1t doos, the greatest bicycle race, the fairest, squarest and hardest run ever made in Omana will have passed into history. It has boen deserving of muen more liveral patron- age than has been accorded it, for it has been and will bo a race strictly on its me whether the ridors realize enouth to pay for thelr transportation to Chicago or whether they are compelied to count the ties. The final spurt was spirited and_exciting, Wood crossing the line in the van os usual. Scora: Hid Mifos, Laps | @iders, Milew Laps, 205 Howell. ) ve Wood .. Btago...

CnicaGo, 1lL, Jan. 8.—[Special Telegram 1o Tue Begk.]-Captain Frank Willlams of Olympic Athletic club of Noew Orleans was ‘here today to try to et Mitchell and Siavin ‘booked for a figh H~ founa that Mitchell would not fight anybody any where,although e offered a purse of $25,000. Williams hopes to @et up a fight betweon Hall ana Fitzsimmons at catch weights, with some show of success. Kaxsas Ciry, Mo, Jan. S.—'Parson” Davies arrived in tne city this morning from Chicago, accompanied by Con Reardon, the heavy weight pugilist who 1s to give an ex- bibition of boxing with Peter Jackson at Turaer hall Saturday evening. Jackson ar- rived this evening. In reference to Jackson's mateti with Slavin Davies said be thought Peter’s chances were good. He continued: “Judging from Jacksou's letter, I am of the opnion that he s not very enthusiastic over Slavin's efforts to postpone making a match ‘with Sullivan until after the meeting of the two Australians in London. In the event of Jackson’s winning from Siavio it 1s doubtful if he will challenge Sullivan, us he feels that the big fellow has a rizht to retire from the ying with the honors be has held so long, but would go after Jim Corbutt for another test of their respective merits.” The Soldier is Sore, Owmaua, Jan 7.

The stock yaras and packing house people declare that thoy made no arrungements for an in- junction and that they had merely begun an investigation of the matter, as it had been ropresented to them that they would have to boar a part of the expenses of the '] of I'wenty-fourth streat. A further investi- gation of the matter shows that the persons who manufactured this sham report are two 1n number. One Is an ermploye of the Omaha Packing company sad wants to be mayor. The ovher is an employe of an Omaha paper ard wants to be a police judge. The story of a throatened injunction was, 8s noar as can bo learned, invented by these two for the purposo of creating an issue and is abettad by a disgruntied representative of the Barber Asphalt company, who is actuated by re- vengeful motives only. On the other hand, however, one supporter of the Stradamant company goes so far as to say that the Barber company mado over- tures to the wrong people, which gives rise 10 the suspicion that boodle was danvled by both companios as a bait for patronage. The way matters stand now the Strada- mant company will hardly finish the paving of Twenty-fourth street until after the elec- tion, and it is the intention of the two poli cal aspivants above namod to make the peo- ple of South Omaha believe that they have been robbed aud harp on that idea until they ride into power. As Tne b does not wish to be used as an advertiser and promoter of selfish interests of the two fellows alluded to, their names are not mentionod. Why Makepence Got Fall. Georgo Mawopeace, the lawyor, suys that if any man on earth has a good excuse for drinking untit he is completeiy paralyzed, it is he. George says that he_nas got but little uso of tho $500° secured by nim from tho Union Pacific Railroad company because a conductor kicked him off the dummy near Sheely. After paying somo antiquatad bar bills Makepeace says that he entrasted £300 of this monoy to his wifo to take to tho bank for safe keeping. He vetained a trifle less than $100 to celebrato this unexpected period of prosperity and started out to cultivato the acquaintance of every bar tender in tho city. Mukepoace doesn’t remember exactly how many dnys this required, but at any rato when he roturued to_hi§ home he found it swept and garnished. Wife, money, furni- ture, everything was gone. His better half, he says, alter getting hold of such an un- procedented sum as £300, had decided to put it.in an old stocking instéad of the bank for safo keeping and had made up ter mina that as thoro was no chanco for any greater stake sho would rewurn_to single blossedness, tak- ing with her the $300. Makopeaco thinks it vory uniind in the polico for arresting him becsuse he got drunk after such & stato of affairs. A Baron in Trouble, Baron Henry J. Reiser, the only titled gon- tleman in South Omana and provably in the stato, s again in trouble. T'his time 1t is not an affair of honor with pistols and coffoo tor two, but 8 common, undignified suit 1a a jus- tico court for an unpald bill. Tho person bringing suit is plain Jacob Cohen, tailor to his baronial highness. Mr. Cohen says that ho came to him and oraered u vest snd pair of pantaloons, That the common goods were 100 cheap for the barou and consequently he ordered cloth that retailed ut £ per yard as the only fitting material to clothe the scion of a hundred earls. Mr. Cohen made tho clothes and went to the extravagance of pur- chasing a glass of beer 1n celebration of the boom in his business. The latter step proved aun incautious ex- ponditure, as Mr. Cohen aclares that ho has been loft in the lurch. Notonly have his most expensive goods been consumed but his time and skill wasted, Ho therefore has commonoed_snit in Judge Levy's court to force the KEnglish lord to pay the bill con- tracted. | telograph purposes, To Help t! hurch, AvBlum’s hall, Thursday, January 14, the ladies of St. Bridget's church will serve din- ner and supper at 25 cents a plate.

EFFECTED TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION. and 1 A Committ Progress of the Wheel Race, ny Speas 1 Seere Caicaco, i, Special Telegram to Tne Ber|—The new Central Base Ball cague met here today, bat owing to peculi circumstances was unable to get very far aloug in the matter of organization. Tho original Speas cail was sent to Mil- waukes, Minueapolis, Kansas City, Omahu, St. Paul, Toledo, Detroit, Indianapolis, rand Rapids and Columbus, Tt wns expected that at least eight cities would respond. It seems that another league, to bo composed of cities enst of here, is pro- jected, and a meeting has been oalled for January 17 at Columbus. Tho latter city has peen unaetermined whetnher 1t would join issues with the new eastern or the proposed Central league, and Indianapolis and Toledo have been quietly waiting to see which way Columbus would move, Gus Schmelz was here to reprasent Columbus, but was not em- nowered (o register his club as a member in the new organization, Milwaukoo was represented by Prosident Iverson, R. W. MecGuire and O. H. Cush- man, St. Paul by J. M. Benvett, Omaha by Joo Garneau, Kansas City by Jon Speas, Ed. Martin and L. C. Krauthoff. Mianeap olis was found to iave two represontatives. m Morton showed up as the represontative of some moneyed men in Minneapolis and Henry L. L. Hach appeared to represent himself. Did Little A Organizing. It appears that thero is somo dissatisfac- tion over the management of last year's club in that city, the sale of Shugart having caused adeal of comment unfavorable to Hach. Morton, as a consequence, readily found backing for a new club, ‘Baron” Hach, however, scems to hold the top hand by virtuo of cortrolling the only availablo grounds in the city. Toledo and Indianapolls were not repre- sonted, und telograms sent to them brought wi back evasive answors. In this emergency it was decided to offect a temporary organiza- tion and refer the matter of a circuit toa committee. John W. Speas of Kausas City was clected president snd Hob Leadley of Detroit secretary. R. W. McGuire. J. W, Speas and Gus™ Schmelz wero appointed a committee on circuit, with power to cail an- other meeting of the league at any time it saw fit, Tt was decided to arrange with the Na- tional league for protection. The cireutt will no doubt be_St. Paul, Minneapolis, Kausas City and Omaba in the west, Columbus, Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Tolodo in tno cast. Bob Leadley speaking for Detroit said the people there would not have any minog league ball, and Grand Rapids sent 1o word of any kind. Forn New Nutlonal Agreement, There was some talk in & confident vigor- ous sort of fashion among the delegates about “protection.” This was due to the fact that wten the Central is organized and when the proposed Kastorn league gets on its teot (if 1t ever does) a new national agreement will be made, whereby professional bull will be ence more brought under one banner. Young, Phelps and Rogers are the gentlemen of the big league who have this matter in hand. They have invited Mr. Kranthoff to colabor with them in the drafting of the new agree- ment. 2 Mr. Krauthoff was a great factor in the conception and execution of the agreement that was wade a year ago at the Fifth Avenue hotel. He is a man of ideas, and his help will materially assist the others. It is also understood that the feature of arafting on the minor leagues will be elim- inated. This will really make tho new agree- ment very similar to the original agreement, lh;} basic principle of which was the reserve rule. Plenty of Players Available, An interesting featuro of tuis effatr is the auesiion of players. The new league, when it is orzanized, will not bo in_ waut of good material. With the consolidation of the tional league and the American association atly at Indianapolis. five clubs thrown out. Tno leaguo had ht clubs and the association nine. That footed up seventeen. When tho reorganiza- tion was perfected on a basis of twelve clubs the players of five clubs remained to be taken care of. At the rate of fifteen players per club, thav woula give seventy-five players to draw from. Tt is to he borue in mind, too, that the adjustmont at Indianapolis’ left frec quite a lario number of men to sign_wherever they ploased. As this is the formation of an en- tiroly new league, all former reserves by and contracts with clubs in other organizations aro roally abrogated, and all clubs outerine the new league entor on a new basis. This will be of great benefit to_the new leaguo, because the salarics of vall players gencrally bave dropped from 25 to 30 per cent within tho last thirty days or so, owing to tho Indi- auapolis treaty.

Instead of relicving the board of rulings of its duties respecting the interchange of passenger business, the meat- ing Luthorized that bad¥ to employ such ser- vice as it deomed desirable to enforce the agreement of last yaar., ‘A part of that com- pact pledges the siguges, to have no ralations with the Chicago & Ajtan, so far as passenger trafe is concerned, out 1f the board ncts upon the instructions ‘gf the committee it will inake another mighty effort to onforce the boycott, D Jiie Ralroad meu hora 45 a frule do not believe that this can be dooe..

At 1 o'clock this morning a young man named Estes was arrestod at_ his home n Fargo and brought hero where he is hold by the troops. It is allezed that he was one of the party attacking Dunn and killing nim. One Incldent of the Trouble, One of the inciaents of this troubie was the ride of Joe Larrabee, one of the men with Dunn when murdered. After the fight Lar- rabee with three others were chased to and into Springfield by seventeen of the murder- ous gang, and although within reach of the singing bullets, they escaped unhurt. Un- daunted by his experience, Larrabeo started out to arouse the country. He rode back to his own home, changed horses and then struck out. He rode from Springield to Hugoton and called upon Sheriff Conn to aid in heading off the escaping gang, and Conn promptly summoned a posse, but refused to o anything until he rode back to "argo and held a conferenee with Judge Botkin. This would tako him out of the chose. It was al- ledgod that Conn desired to aid in the escape of "the Stevens couuty members of the gane. Larrabee then rode back to Arkalon. He made the trip of 110 miles in iess vnan oleven hours, rested four hours and then started out again. Botkin Did Not Open Court, Governor Humphrey today made inquiries as to the reason why the court at Springfield had not been opened.

The result is one company of mulitia is now at Springfield awaiting tho pleasure of Judge Botkin, in the meantime alaing the deputy sheriffs in making arrests of the men engaged in the battle. Ior these over thirty warrants have been issued. "These arrests ara but the beginning of other trouole not anticipated. All the waz- rants were made roturnable to the justice of the peace at this place. The taeu ure 1o be brought here as fast us they are arrested and confined awaiting the pleasure the county attorne; It has been alleged that it their preliminary examinations were held in Springfield the prisoners would all be r leased, therefore they are all brought to Arkalon.

All the arrangements to thi$ epd have boen made, Morris and tho rest of us have se- cured control of the varas, and we will put some life iuto things down there. That's all.” Concerning the men who have boucht the property, an evening paper says: ‘“I'hore is a singular grouping in this new deal. In the first place, it 18 hinted that Allerton’s con- nection with it bodes no good to the interests of tne Big Four, But Morris 1s oune of the Blg Four. So is Swift. 11 it is intended to do for St. Louls what was proposed by the small packers some time ago to do for Tolles- ton, then it is clear that something is in the wind between the big fellows, becauso ali the small packers, headed by Allerton, were sore when Swift, Armour and Morris squeezed a million dvece out of the Kuglish syndicate which controls the Union stock vards and they were left out in the coid, ana now- they are all lying down together, the lambs and the lions. = Morris and Allerton is a new combination.” SHORT IN TWO PLACES, surer of Appan ne County, Town, Miss- lng with Much Mon CeNTERVILLE, Ia., Jan.

The output of the wosk was 200 barrels, an average of 2 barrels v, against 140,080 barvels the previous weol, 114,320 barrels for tho corresponding time in 1891. and 135,750 barrels in 1890. The water power, with colder weather, has boen less favorable, and for that reason the mills will ruu somewhat lighter than would other- wiso be the caso. One water mill of 1,300 capacity had to stop Monday and wiil not be avle to do anything the rest of tho week. There were seventeen mills runuing today, and they wero grinding at the rato of about 20,000 barrels per twenty-four hours, The supply of cars 15 now sufficient so that the mills no longer have auy trouble in get- ting what they need. The flour markot is still very quiet with mills running largely on old orders. Only one of the heavier companies reports fresh orders equaling the output, while the majority did not do half as well. There does not seem to be very much difference in the vol- ume of domestic and foreign trade, both bemng light. The foreign demand, though small, is mainly for_patonts. Bakers is not essily kept cleared tip on, and low grades are accumulating to some extent, the_ situation being iu strango contrast to that of the open- ing of the crop year, when very little patent could be sold abroad, bakers and low grades being almost exciusively wanted, Prices have been easier, though the advance in wheat the past two days has madesome mills firmer as to patents. Low grades are con- siderabiy lower, The direct exports of flour last weol were 74,030 barrols, against 70,010 barrels the preceeding woek. e MINNESOTA FARMERS.

The proprietor ordered them out, declaring that o mob of disbandod sailors and soldiors were proparing to attack tho Baltimoro's men, and he did not want any troudle in his placo, Riggin and Talbott laughed at the warning, but left tho place and went to the True Blue saloon. About 4 o'clock, coming out, I saw Riggin belng threatened by tho Chilian suilors in men-of- war uniform.

Instantly tho crowd of 100 people appeared in the Streot and wo started on a run, but soon jumped on A passing car. The mob followed and stoned the car, and we were fnstantly surrounded by tho mob.

It is claimed that when the syndicate takes charge of the Utah mills it will keep all the wheat in the country and will be able to establish a uniform price of 80 cents or move per bushel, which, with the protection of freight ratos will shut out foreign purchasers of wheat. 1t will enable the territory to secure foreign All of t markets for tho flour in_shinping from 100 to 500 carloads under contract, the money of which is brougnt into the territory.
