2 LAST _ CHANCE FOR OMAHA Bhe Must Decide Today Whether or Not She Wants Base Ball. MEETING OF THE WESTERN MAGNATES Great Nebraska Billiard Tournament Ar- ranged for Week After Next—What the Horsemen are Doing eral Grist of Sport. fiens John A. Speas, president ot the Kansas City base ball club; L. C. Krauthoff, coun- selor ofthe Western league; Walton Holmes of the Kansas City Street Railway company and Mr. Carty of the Metropolitan Stree railway lines, all of Kansas City, together with G. H. Schmelz of the Columbus, O., club aod a number of other prominent baset Pall men will arrive heve this morning. Some Yme during the day a committee of theso gentleman will wait upon promiuent busines: smen of Omaha for the purpose of ascertain ing what they will do toward putting in & club in this city as & momber of the now ‘Western league. The conditions governing this new base ball enterprise are such as will preclude all possibility of the failure of any of the clubs that mako up the circuit, as rigid economy is ibe cornerstone of the wholo project. Omaha Ihas had case ball at a big cost, but now the lopportunity presents itself to give her just s pood bail and on such conditions as makes 4t reasonably cortain that its supperters will* \realize something on their investment, or at fleost emerge at the end of the season with an oven balance. It1s an opportuaity that the !business men, interested in the advance and 'prosperity of the city, should not allow to pass unimproved. State Billlard Tournament. The Brunswick Balke-Collender state bil- Jiard tournament opens at Keniston’s rooms 10 the New York Life one week from tomor- row night, the 15th. This tournament prom- ises to be the best exhibition in this line ever given in Omaha, Itis for the state cham- Plonship, and already the entries, which close tomorrow night, reach double figures. Iaeutenant Arrasmith enters on condition that any prize he may win is to be donated to some charitable institution, the same to be named by Tur Omana Bee. The gold- mounted cue, embleratic of the champion- shap, is now on exhibition in the show win- dow of C. S. Raymond's jewelry store, This, with & cash purse of %0, constitutes the first prize; 0 second, €30 third, §25 fourth, £20 fifth and $10 sixth. Among the entries from Omaha are Lieuten- ont Arrasmith, Frank Remston, Harry Symes, Mr. Warner and others. There is also u good entry list from abroad, and alto- gether the tournament will undoubtealy provea brilliant success, Sam Morton's Chance, The awarding of the new Wostern League ‘base ball franchise for Minneapolis has not yot been made, but if the committee pays any heed to the demands of the press the Morton faction are sure winners, Through- out the whole country prominent base ball mén are pulling for the genial and capable Sdm. Fencers Organized. A branch of the Amateur Fencers’ League of America, whose headauarters are in New York City, was organized at the Omaha Ath- lotic club last evening, where most of the lovers of this fascinating art were present. Aftor some preliminary discussion as to the 1ncreasing popularity of feroing s a sport and bealthful bodily recreation, the meoting ‘was called to order and a roll call showed fifteen gentlemen prosent, The following * officers were then elected : George W. Ames, resident; F. J. Despecher, vice president: S. P. Morse, treasurer; E. P. Mullen, secre- tary. The proper papers will be forwarded to the Leaguo headquarters, Its rules ana rogulations governing contests and exhi- bitions were adopied. Driving Park Affialrs. The Omaha and Council Bluffs Motor and \Briage company has unloaded some of its stock in the Council Bluffs driving park ou the directors of the Union Pacific. The stock issued some time ago to Omaha horsemen was canceied because of the re- fusal of the latter to pay up, una in its place seventy shares have been issued to Frederick Ames and fifty shares to Sidney Dillon. This gives these two outsiders just one-third of the 300 shares of the stock.” The bridge lino company holas all the balance, with the exception of sixty shares which are_held by J. 1 Lutz, William Moore, E. A. Wickham nd Charles Gregory of Council Bluffs, . This leaves the Omaha horsemen foot Joose to buila a track on this side of the riyer. Two tracts of land are now under consider- Ation, a00 1t I8 igh(y (Urobsble ithat ‘elther would be donated by the owners provided an assoclation would take them and improve them in accordunce with the proposed plan.

Character of the Postoflice Fully Ascertaincd by Recent Experime The sound of the pile driver will be heard in the vicinity of block 86 before many more moons have waxed and waned. After boring about fifty holes through the gumbo and muck and striking solid clay at an average depth of about twenty-five feet, Architect Beindorff has been thoroughly con- vinced that the foundation for the tower of the new postoffice building, and possibly for all the main walls of the structure, will have to be plled. Mr. Beindorff 1eft yvesterday for Washing- ton to lay the matter before the chief superin- tendeut of buildings and to be prosent at ihe oponing of bids on the stone work. Mr. A. F, Wilgocki, the assistant archi- tect, was seen in bis office at the old Uunited Presbyterian church which stands on the government blovk, and said: ‘“Tho basoment for the tower of the new building out there wiil certainly bave to be piled and I think 1t 18 probable that the main walls of the entire building will have to be piled. We have sunk a large hole in the bottom of the tower excavation to prove beyond a doubt the character of the ground. I have here a glass jar of earth taken at different dopths all the way down,” and he called attention to a box of samples of clay and gumbo. ftor we get through the solid stratum of about ten feet. we . strike a stratum of water bearing soil. It would be protty solid if the water could be drawn out of it but this stratum is higher than the sewers and the sewers are above tho bottom of the foundation for the tower, so we have no way of drainiug the water that permeates that stratum. When we go down from twenty-five to thirty feet we wet through this water beariog stratum and again strike solid clay which continues down to bad rocke| which is reached at a depty of fifty feot.” “There is no spring or creek bed here in this block. That eame stratum of water bearing clay undorlies this wholo platean and seems to be a sort of drainage - tube for the water that nuturally runs from the hills toward the river Me, Wilson, a civil engineer, was engaged today in finding the levelings in the bottom of the excavation to ascertain whether or not the excavators had done their work prop- erly. He also took the depth at which the water stands in the numerous holes that have been bored in the area to be covered by the building. Mr. Beimndorff has fitted uo a very con- veniont and commodious office in the old church from the rear windows of which he can command a view of the work as it pro- gressos upon tho new building. il oo Millions have drank and praisea Cook’s Extra Dry Imperjal Champagoe in the last forty years. et P IN THE COURTS. Grad Jury Working on the Road House Cases—Minor Litigations, The grand jury went into session at 1i o'clock yesterduy, and atfonce took up the investigation of the charges preferred against the saloonkeepers within the two-mile limit. Having now got down to business, the jurors will hold two sessions each da; Judge Doane and a jury are listen testimony in the case of Mary A. Dugdale against the city of Omaha, The plaintiff asks a judgment in the sum of #10,000, alleg- g damages to property situated at Bighth aud Dougias strvets. At a former session of the court the plaintiff was awarded damages in the sum of $1,500, but not satisfied with that sum sho succeeded in receiving a new trial. The case of White against Otis is on trial pefore Judge irvine. Jegse F. Shipiey has asked the court to divorce ber from her husband Robert. She alleges failure to support.

A. Grifio has brought suit against J. H. Winspear, and at the same time has secured a restraining order on which argu- ments will be heard by Judge Hopewell Sat- urday morning. Grifiin alleges that ho sues Winspear for $100; that he is a poor man, owning nothing but two horses and a wagon, which are exempt from sale. He further avers that he was at work hauling ice to Council Biudfs, and that Winspear sued out an artacument, which was placed in the hands of a constable, who leviod upon the property.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR. Delegates to St. Louls Chosen—Resolutions ansed—The Convention, T'he seventh annual assembly of the Ne- braska Knights of Labor is drawingto a close. he doliberations wili probably end today ‘Che principal item of interest in the pro- ceedings last night was the election of dele- gates to the great national guthering of in- dustrial organizations av St Louis on February 22.

Thomp- son nod Alfred Fawkner, ‘The assembly passed a series of resolitions last night. Congressman Kem's banking bill was endorsed, and the work done by the peo- rlu’n arty represeatatives 1n congress was heartily commended. The Knights of Labor of Omaha were tendered the thanks of the assembly for their kindness during the se slon. Another resolution was passed with & whirl, requestiug the national oxecutive committes of the people’s party to locata the natioral convention in Omaha. Another res- olution declared it to be the sense of tho as- sembly that presidents, senators and post. mastors should be elected by the direct vote of the people.

Promoters of the Natlonal Drill Meet Very Little Encourng There is still a doubt as to whetiier Omaha will get the encampment next June of the National Competitive Drill sssociation, Although the military companies of the United States wartit to hold the first encamp- ment of the new association in_this city, the local men who are interested in the matter are ovidontly becoming discouraged in getting the citizons to take hold of the scheme with a vim. Meetings of the various committees of the different organizations of business men have been held, and yosterday afternoon another gathering assembled at the Board of Trade rooms, The leading hotels were well repre- seuted by their rospective proprietors. Secretary Aitchison roported that the' dif- ferent committoes on subscriptions to the guaranteo fund of 0,000 had got about £5,000 pledged. This was all the encourage- meut the meeting got. *“The Real Estate Owners association,” re- marked Attornev John T. Catbers, ‘will guarantee oue-third of the 30,000 fund if tho other associations aud business men will guarantee the remaining $20,000,) « This was considered a liberal and fair proposition, but there was no one else present who conld guarantee the $20,000. The committee to handle the railroads and hotels was changed. Thomas®wobe of the Millard resigned from the committee as he had to be out _of town. Chairman Broatch put John T, Clarke in his place, and now the committeo is composed of Williamn Kierstead and C. L. ChafTee, together with Mr. Clarke. ““We can’t do anything more,” said Mr. Broatch; “we'il adjourn unti-Monday after~ noon and if then there isno more interest taken in the matter we had just's weil drop b If Omaha does not get. tho encampment it will probably go to a city further south, although Couucil Bluffs is tryiug to do some~ thing it Omaba fots % 6 by default: oy A very small pili, buta very, good oue, De Witt's little Early Risers. T - 4 In Defense of Mex, Pollard. Tue Bee in its Council Blufts news has detailed the financial - troublas’ ‘of - Mrs. Nathalie Pollard, which were brought upon her by o vascally agent, oge A. Z Bowen, who, until receutly, has had charge of the lady's lecture engagements, Upon further inquiry it is found that Mrs. Pollard has suffered greatly from the impos- wure and dishonesty of this man, who has just been_discnurged by the police court in Council Bluffs. Had it been practicable to call nonresident witnesses he undoubtedly would have been held. Mrs. Pollard has been unfortunate in associating herself in a business way with Bowen, who played a similar prank upon her some years ago. Upon being confronted with his duplicity he confessed his error and made the rollowing declaration under oath: SUPERIOR COURT, THE CITy OF NFW YOUK: Abner 7.

I met Mrs. Pollard_about two years ngo while I was in the office of RogerFoster. I volunteered my services when sho was robbed at 241 West ‘I wenty-third street, and succecded in having the thieves put into the Tombs. For this service Mrs Pollard took an interest in me, which bas never waned. and which has been of Inmense value o me. She hus been In every sense a true mother tome. She has advised. counseled and directed me; has ever been liveral even to Indiscretion in giving me finamcial ald. Not only has she furnished me food and sheiter, for which I am yet indebted to her, but she his advanced to mo_various sums of monsy at aifferent times $300 at one time), Wlhen every one olse falled me and it seemed fmpossible to start a Law school. she cuuie 1o my rescue with ull the money needed. So that for board and money recelved I am in her debt not less than £2,5)0. During the yeurs of our ncquaintance, heinz in_almost dally communication with Mr: Pollard, | have never known her to do one which I could criticise if done by my o mother. And Ifeel from this daily associa- tion with her that her ideas of woral life ar incomparably above those of any other wom with whom I hive ever been acquuinted. I feel most deaply cnuagrined that an erratic moment of mine has caused her name to be dragged into pub.ic notice in connection with the Evening Law school. When she backed me financially in starting the school sie did not wish to withdraw as much monoy from tho mvestment as I wished, so we tried to get . D. Maitland to advince u part and wo oqual one-third interesis, Bt at the mo; aitland withdrew. so Mrs. Pol- 1 contracted to take equal Intorests. she to furnish the money and never to be own in connection with the school ut all, and I'to do the work, tuke full charg d When the work tegun to tell upon my b my hemorrnages to roturn and 1 was advised by my physician thut I mi:ht drop off ut moment, in order to protect Mrs. Pollar case of ‘my Geath or sudden indisposition, alout the lust day of January I assizned 1o her all my titie und intérest in the senool, the considerition for the assignment befng 42,500 indebtedness under which T wag nnd' am yet 1o her, excepting that I huve placed (nto her hands tho money from tho school, which money she hus sieadily refused ta anply to other purposes than necessities of the school. Ido not believe that under the circum- stuncos of my indebtedness thut there is another person, mun or woman. in the United States who would treat this money us she has done, und it is a shame that for selfish pur- poses she shoula be slindered and roviled ns she hus been the last fow days.

But in addition to mental figuring and devising most favmers wil' have much to do this mouth in eompieting their winter work pieparatory to entering upon the more pressing labors of spring. Taouching the most important of these oncoming labors and dutics we offer a few reminders and sugeestions which may prove of service 10 even wise and progressive ruralists. Care of Live Stock, ('urnqi for live stoek is the first duty of most farmers ut- this season, it beiug important to keep domestic unimals in such good heart thut they will enter spring in a thrifty cendition. There BRUARY should be no neglect in either stable, stall or yard, and those who have failed to keep their animals clean, warm and well fed witl naod to take special pains to carry them through the winter. Liberal foeding, warmth and good care are essontinl factors in wintering stock. Provide ample protection from inclem- ent wonther and good conveniences for foeding and watering. Horses need daily exercise and blan- keting when left standing in the cold. Steady work in winter will not injure a mature horse, provided he be well fod, groomed and kept from unduo exposure. When contined in close, warm stables horses become tender nnd subject to colds, ete., hence the necessity of venti- lation. Cows due to come 1n early should have good shelter and a diet of dry hay with a little bran, but not heating food (like corn or meal) for a fow weeks b fore calving. As the calves are aropped solect the bost heifers for raising. Al lico infested animals should -be rubbed over with" a mixture of equal parws of sweet vil and keroseue. Sheep noed an abundant supply of wholesoue food, vlenty of pure air, a dry yard, and comfortable sleeping quarters. Provide warm stables for ewes near lambing time, and give them roots rather than grain. Remember that early lnmbs (asw as calves) are profit- able, and see that nono are lostor stunted for lack of timely care. Swine profits depend lavgely upon breeding and feeding—so see that both these factors are right. Care well for breeding sows and give them space for exercise. See that store pigs are well housed and fed; light and frequent meonls best secure thrifty growth, Poultry pays best when given the hest attention. Look well after the fowls now, for eggs and broilers will soon bring good preices. if you wish an abundynt supply of eggs, keep the hens in warm, dry quarters, giving them pienty of both green and dry food, lime, gravel, and pure water. 1892, ———— Orchard and Frult Garden, Pruit. growers need not be idie this month. What with caring for their trees and - vines, nnd arranging to plant new orchards, vineyards, ete., they will find little leisure. Young orchards should be protected against marauding domestic animals, and staked to prevent in{ury from hoavy winds. Tent cater- pillars,mice and_rabbits are greut pests, The ecaterpillar’s eggs, glaed in a band near the ends ef the twigs, can be readily seen on a cloudy day and should be cut off and burned. To repel mice tramp snow firmly around the trunk of ench tree or make a mound of earth. To keen ofl rabbits apply blood, or rub the trunks of trees with liver or bloody meat, The soil of orchards and fruit gardens sheuld be enriched by applying a good top dressing. Look after the shape of fruit trees. Saw off the stubs of broken branches and cover the ground with paint or melted grafting wax. Scions from last year's growth may be cut in a mild spell, but be sure to select good varieties. The p.uning of small branches of trees, as well as of currants, grape- vines, etc., may be done in mild weather. Thé scason for planting frut troes, shrubs, and vines is drawing nigh; hence now is the time to consider the whole matter, decide upon varieties, and the number of euch, and arrange to get them early, so that they may be set out before other work demands attention, Select only such us are known to do well in your locality, or at least in your lati- tude. The Kitchen Garde A good vegetable garden is a great promoter of fumily health and comfort, and - the farmer . .who. fails to have one neglects his duty. It pays in many ways, nud should be provided for early. Kn- rich the garden plot with manure or a good commercial fertilizer, and as soon as_the weather permits pulverize tho soil 80 thoroughly that it will be in con- dition to till and plant at the eariiest day practicable. A hot-bed, made in the usual way, is necessary for market gurdeners to start plants: but most farmers scarcely need a hot-bed to do this, us they can start seeds of tender vegetables and _flowers with a good kitchen range. In most ses only a few dozen plants wili be wanted, and a sqiare foot or 80 of earth in a box'will give all the plants one is likely to need in the vegetable way— and a similar one for flowers. Seeds do fiot need light to sprout; all they re- quire is heat and moisture, and this they can get in a slow oven, or a warm vange as weil as anywhere. Of course, as soon as the young leaves appear they must have light. Then the boxes can be moved to the windows, orto some shelteved place in the open’ air, giving them protection under u sash if neces- sary. - In this simple way one can have plants soma weeks uhead of time, and at littlo cost or trouble compared with the lLuhor and oxpense of making a reg- ular hot-bed. Flower Garden and Lawn, All farmers and most snburban resi- dents have ample space for fine lawns, trees, shrubs, vines and flowers, and those who possess these beautiful home surroundings should guard them well at this seison. Any serious injury may easily be prevented by watchful care and promptaction. Lvergreens and other closely limbed trees are linble to be dnmagzed or destroyed by snow lodging and freezing on the branches, but this may be averted by shuking the trees aftereach.storm, It is als) important to clear the lawn paths and roads after each snpowfull—un easy matter if shovels or snow plows are used promptly. As thesun’s heat increns house and, window plants will bloom mora freely, thus augmenting their beauty. Bulbs thut were potted last fall ought to vow muke the window gay with spiKés of hyacinths and clusters of narcissus. But with this avray of benuty many insects will appenr and multipl rupidly, to check wnich effective reme: digs should be promptly applied. Seeds of candytuft, sweot allyssum and mig- nonette can now be sown, and the plants may bleom in the window, or a part of them ean 'be transferred to the open border when the weather is mild enongh. All who wish to keep up or increase their displays of fine sirubs, plants, flow ete., during the coming season nve udvised to malke careful selections from the catalogues of trustworthy dealers and order early, D PHOM YESTERDAY'S SECOND EDITION, | green- Democratio Blowout, Dexven, Colo, Keb. 2 —Ihe Greystone club banquet which will occur nere February 5 in commemoration of the birth of Samuel J.
