Spposed to any further contention. Tt s + certain that the latter is dead against a con- test. On Tuesday last in the Lincoln hotel ho declared positively that Holcomb was _elected and should be given the seat unre- servedly. There is a large class of disap- pointed men who had beea promised office under Majors. These, together with those whose money s still up on Majors, are egg- fng on a contest by every means In their power. At the state capitol members of the Majors ring are unusually active. Attorneys are “busy comparing vbtes of different years in the past with that of 1894. At independent headquarters thero is a corresponding degroe of activity. The independent executive com- mitbes has on hand a mass of evidence, and is daily collecting more, showing gross frauds In Lancaster county and other dis- tricts fn the state. The result of a contest, the Independents say, will increase Holcomb's plurality to over 10,000, The committee elaims to have plenty of evidence that Lan- caster’s plurality for Majors of raised 1,000 votes by illegal colonization and registry. It is well known, and can be proved, that hundreds of fllegal voters were run in from Wyoming tie camps and Montana ballasting gangs strung along the line of the ZB. & M., and voted in precincts where com- plaisant republican judges had full power. The independents and Holcomb democrats declare unarimously that they will go to the bottom of this election in almost every county in the state and bring all fraud to the surface. They have names, locations and facts in thefr postession which, in the event of a contest, must prove most damaging to the desperate gang that is howling for a contest. The fact that Majors at ome time In the official tabulation of county returns was a few hundred ahead of Holcomb has been seized upon and made to work overtime as a soarecrow. The same tabulation shows that | at no time previous has such a position been held by Majors, while Holcomb by the same tabulation has been from 1,009 to 1,500 ahead quite often. The returns now coming in are strong Holcomb counties. They do not vary from earlier returns and will not finally reduce Holcomb's vote from earlier estimates. A b R LUTHERAN CONFERENCE., Shadow of Death Sadders the Kxercises— Ofeers Eloeted. Yesterday morning’s session of the North Platte Lutheran conference was per- vaded by a shade of sadness on ac- count of the unexpected bereavement of two of the most prominemt members. Rev. W. A. Dutton of Tekamah and Rev. B. F. A. Handel of Columbus were expected to lead the discussions at the forenoon session, but during the preliminary exercises telegrams were received announcing the death of Mrs. Handel and the young child of Rev. Mr. Dutton. The bereaved members were obliged to leave at once, and prayer was offered in thelr behalf and. resolutions of condolence were adopted. Preliminary to the devoticnal exercises of the session the conference proceeded to elect ! officors for the ensuing year. Rev. M. L. | Kunkelman of Wayne was chosen as presi- dent of the synod, Rev. H. J. Hapeman of Dakota City, secretary, and Rev. W. C. Mc- Cool of Ponca, treasurer, In the absence of Rev. Dutton F man delivered a short address on He divided the subject into two . “Does God Always Hear Prayer? ‘How God May Answer Prayer.” Ti he emphatically answered in the afrmative, but took the ground that the answer of God might not always be just what the believer wanted, but it was what the infinite wisdom knew was best for him. “The Necessity and Possibility of the New Birth” was discussed by Rev. W. A. Lipe of ! West Point, who spoke ecarnestly on the _Dower of the Savior to change the heart of inan- when the secker was in earnest in bhis desire to Jead a new life, Among other things the conference consid- ered at some length the possibility of taking some part.as a church in the rellef of the outh-stricken districts within the houn- aries of the conference. It was generafly contended that the conference should take some action.fn that direction and the entire left to a special committee, of / MeCaol 48 chairman.

Kunkleman, Wayne. “How Can We Lead Others to Christ?" Rev. J. 8. Detweller, D.I., Omaha. ““What Constitutes a Vital, Practical, Per- sonal Religion; and is it Consistent with a Busy Life?" Rev. J. N. Zimmer, Benson, At the. evening session Itev. McCool preached and Miss Frances Roeder of this city sang the offertory. Short Frank Du Bols, a meat cutter, was the first to face Judge Berka yosterday morning. * Ffank admitted that he was drunk, but de- nled alt knowledge of having tried to break fnto Mrs. Koplan's house, 111 North Tenth street, while under the mpression that it was his own home. After pleading guilty to betng drunk Du Bois wanted to apologize to Mrs. Koplan for his insulting remarks, but the court would not accept any such settlement and fined the offender $40 and osts. to stand committed untff paid. In sentenciog Du Bols, Judge Berka told him that Mrs. Koplan would have been justified it she had drawn a revelver and shot at Rim.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—A majority of the base ball magnates were present in the Fifth avenuo hotel today when the twentieth con- vention of the National league reassembled. Prior to the meeting George Ruchstuhl of Louisville expressed the belief that an ar- rangement would be reached today without muoh further discussion on the subject of division of receipts. It the constitution could be so amended is belleved an eight-club circult would very soon take the place of the present twelve-club arrangement, or if not, that four clubs would be glad to sell their fran- chises. It fs practically acknowledged to- day that all probability of a change is at present practically at an end so far as the number of clubs is concerned. The only clubs that might sell their franchises will not dispose of them for what would be con- s/dered a reasonable sum. Should the east- ern clubs buy four of them out it would cost $200,000, and such a sum is far beyond what those miost in faver of the project would think of giving. The scheme of forming two circuits—an eastern and a western one— to play separate schedules and then conclude tho series by eastern and western games, and vice versa, while it may eventually come to comething, does not appear today to have even the remotest chance of adoption. The convention on resuming business at once took up the discussion of the disposal of the 10 per cent gate receipts. EACH TEAM TAKES HALF. After a session lasting four and a halt hours the convention decided to rescind the 10 per cent assessment rule. It was decided that each club competing in & championship game shall draw 50 per cent of the net re ceipts of such game. The following were elected members of the board of directors: J. T. Brush, Cincinnati; J. F. Hart, Chicago; Chria Von der Ahe, St. Louis; C. H. Byrn, Brooklyn; A. H. Soden, Boston, and H. R. Von der Horst, Baltimore. The national board, consisting of A. H. Soden, C. H. Byrn and President Young, was re-elected. The resolutions abolishing the 10 per cant assessment -also abolish section 49 of the rules, under which it was provided that 10 per cent of the receipts of each champion- hip game should be forwarded to Washing- oh to pay the expenses of the officers and to-form a sinking fund of $25,000. In the place of section 49 a new section i3 added, as follows: ““Out of the funds of the league now in the hands of the treasurer ne snall create a sinking fund of $12,000, ‘which shall be in- vested in_government bonds, and all other funds shall be placed in the treasury to meet current expenses.” The following resolution was passed: “Fhat the committee on rules is instructed to report to the spring meeting such amend- ments as may be necessary to compel the umpire to enforce the playing rules, particu- larly those prohibiting noisy coaching and :‘ur;ly or disorderly conduet on the ball eld."” The following addition was made to rule 64: “In addition to the penalty above re- ferred to, the captaln or manager, or the person in charge of the offending team, and responsible for the team leaving the field, shall incur a penaity of $100, which shall be paid in five days to the secretary of the league, such penalty not to be remitted under any glreumstances,” , This rule is in addi- tion to the $1,000 penalty on a club for feav- ing the fleld. - FASPTERN LEAGUE SOLID. The minor leagues, which are also in ses- slon today, will have some suggestions to make which will either make confusion worse confounded, or will, perhaps, provide some solution of the very tangled question with which the magnates are now puzzling their brains. Patrick Powers, president of the Eastern league, said: “Our meeting will be a very important one, and we will, perhaps, let in some light on all this business, which will be of a rather surprising nature. As to the formation of the new American association, you can dismiss that. “There has béen an attempt made to take Buffalo from the Eastern league. Now Buf- falo will not join the new association should it be formed, nor will it buy a franchise in the National league should that be possible. Buffalo is making money, and it would want to have a team in the first flight in the Na- tional league to avoid losing @ lot of money. I have some communications I cannot now produce, but when I do they will create a big sensation.” WESTERN ASSOCIATION SESSION. it Speciat Business Meeting of the Directors Held at Rock Istand Yesterday. ROCK ISLAND, TI., Nov. 15.—(Special Telegram.)—A special meeting of the di- rectors of the Western Base Ball assoclation was held at the Harper house today. Those present were: President Dave Rowe, T, F. McVittie, Omaha; Treasurer W. W. Kent, Dan B. Pierson, Arthur Black, Jacksonville; J. M. Savin, Quiney; 8. F. Frick, Des Moines; T. J. Hickey, Lincol Charles B. Flynn, oria; Charies McHu, John Ohl- weller, C. C. Hughes, Rocl Island. St. Joseph wns not represented, and being in arrears §300, a telegram was sent to the association in that city to the effect that unless the amount is made good forth- with the eity will be dr from the ‘Western assoclation. Hugh icol is here making a vigorous effort to have Rockford substituted, and Sloux City and Denver are also Dl)lk'lnlu for places. ‘The official standing of the clubs in the race of '84 Is shown by Secretary Rowe to be: Rock Tsland, 58; Pecrfa, 52 Jacksonville, 580; Lincoln, 536; Omaha, 6528; St. Joseph, 757 Des Moines, 111; Quirey, 360. The Rock Islands were declared the champlons and formally awarded the pennant. The season was shown to be an exceed- ingly prosperous one, and in view of this fact the salary limit for 1895 was increased from $800 to $500 per month. It was deter- mined that hereafter no clubs shall occupy a park in grounds cccupled by a falr or rac- ing assoclation. Peoria and Quincy will both be affected Dy this decision, but will comply. Katz of Roek Island leads the league in batting, with Thompson of Quiney second and Moran of Omaha third. Jones of Des Moines leads In fielding, with McVey of Omaha second and Lookabaugh of Lineoin and Omaha third. Beam of Peoria leads the pitehers, Barnes of Lincoln being second and Whitehill of Omaha third. NO MATCH ARRANGED YET. Rumors of & Boat Race Between Yale and Oxford Denled. OXFORD, Nov, 15.—Mr. Pitman, president of the Oxford University Rowing club, says there Is no foundation for the reports ctreu. lated in the United States that negotiations are in progress for an International eight- oared boat race between Oxford and Yale. Oxford, he says, has received no offers from Yale for a race between Yale and Oxford, and Oxford has centainly not sent a chal- lcnge (o Yale. Finaily, Mr. Pitman says Mr. Cook has not even visited Oxford and nothing is-kunown among the Oxford oars- men of his coming. Mr. Pitman sald that he regretted the repetition of these rumors, as they distinet): tended to diminish the chances of a match made. But If a challenge is sent, Mr. Cook does come to this eity (o the purpose of negotiating for a race, the matter will recelve the courteous attention of Oxford. Harvard Yerubs Defoat Browa.

Nothing much was done for several innings. Then Ives warmed up and got in eighty-one by good nursing, Schaeffer then put the balis in the Jeft hand top corner, and playing the anchor shot from time to time scored seventy-five, when he brought the red out and had te play for position. At eighty he got them together again and ran to ninety-elght, when on two open shots he scored his century amid applause. At 105 the Wizard had the balls in the right hand top corner, where his 150 was scored. A little more all around play and agan Schaeffer had the balls in the right top corner, and after a few moments he brought up hig second century and s loudly ap- and passed highest break. tic applause greeted his performance. At 241 a difficult draw and & masse brought down the hd but he missed at 244, the score being: Bchaeffer, 1,362; Ives, 1,887. lIves scored very rapidly, and by masterly play scored 100 and_continued his break. His play was mainly of an all around character and some of his cushion caroms and draws were won- derful. He reached 177, when he broke down on a plain bank. The Wizard scored thirty-four, " when he missed one of tne easiest cushion shots. Ives, who had thus two good chanees, again proceeded to in- crease his lead, but fell down at forty-nine over a difficult’ three-cushion stroke, ~Jak by good open play, got the balls together With the aid of thé “anchor” from ti time in the lower right hand cornej passed the 100, At 14 he fell down on a difficult follow, with his score 1561, Ives, 2,130. From then on nearly to the end of the game the runs were small. Schaeffer had & good chance to win out after a run of 17 on his last ining, but he fell down on a difficult two-cushion carom. Tves then ran out. Schaef- fer scored 711 during the evening, as against Ives' 600, but left Ives with a lead of 607 Score tonight by innings: , 81, 0, 0, 11, 177, 49, 50, 1i8, 3, Schaeffer—28, 6, 244, 16, 31, 149, 62 12, 2-Til.

CHICAGO; Nov. 15—Jim Hall failed to- night in his endeavor to put out Henry Baker of Milwaukee and Bill Woods of Denver in four rounds each. Fully 5,000 people assembled at Tattersalls’ to see both exhibitions. ‘The first round in the Hall- Baker match was principally devoted by the men to “sizing each other up,” al- though towards the close Hall hit Baker auite freely. In the second round Baker led wildly, but when Hall got back at him he receivéd several blows Which left him badly winded. In the third Hall landed on Baker's face as he pleased, but did not seem disposed to push things.” In the fourth round Baker started in to rush Hall, but was quickly stopped with a hard right and Jeft, “Hall “could seemingly have Knocked him_out had he followed him. However, as Baker was on his feet at the end of the round, he was declared winner. Hall complained that his stomach was weak, and he was unable to exert his full strength. Hall knocked Billy Woods down in the first, but Woods saved himself by clinch- ing 'at every opportunity. He repeated these tactics throughout the fight, and managed to stay the four rounds.

Stevenson Head< ing the ?emnenuc Ticket. NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—Senator Brice, who Is In the city, has been interviewed regard- ing the political situation. He said: *‘The domocratic party was defeated because of the bard times. The question was not so much a tariff issue as a great many people are led to think. The people all over the country ex- pected that the party in power would bring better times, and when those times did not materfalize, they turned their ballots against them. The same cause defeated Harrison two years ago. When prosperity languishes the people blame the party in power as the cause of it or at least as being able to restore the normal condition of affairs. But I think that things will brighten up so that we will have a decidedly spirited contest.” “Who do you think will be the next presi- dentlal candidate on the democratic ticket, and will Cleveland run for a third term?" “The next democratic candidate to run for the presidency will be Adlal E. Stevenson, and he will have the united support of all factions of his party. He is the logical can- didate, and he comes from a state which can be carried by the democrats with his name leading the presidential ticket. He is the best man we can take. I do mot think that the party would make a mistake. The elec- tion of last Tuesday settled the fate of sev- eral prospective candidates, and I am more than ever convinced now that Adlai - E. Stevenson is our man. As for Mr. Cleveland running for a third term all that kind of talk is twaddle.” Dlveree the Police frrom Pollties.

Cudahy Packing Plant Damaged by Fire to ths extent of Several Thousand 1oliurs. Fire broke out In the boller room of the hog' killing department at the Cudahy pack- ing house yesterday afternoon about 1 o’clock, but was extinguished' before doing a great amount of damage. The fire is attributed to frictior in the freight elevator near the roof. The boiler room is a one-story structure, It stands to the east and south of the hog killing and cutting departments. Tom Kel- ley, foreman in_the cutting room, turned in an alarm, and in_a few minutes there were at least a dozen alarms sent into the A. D. T. office. One of the specials also pulled the general alarm and called the Omaha fire- men, who arrived shertly after the South Omaha department reached the scene. The firemen from the Omaha Pack- ing company - also made a coupling, and in a very short tlme there were thirty streams of water playmg on the fire. The water pressure was weak, but as the structure where the fire was raging was only one-story high it was easily contrclled. There is a thick fire wall on all sides of the botler house, and this kept the fire from spreading. All the workmen in the plant turned out and worked faithrully until the fire was under control. The loss is esti- mated at from $2,500 to $3,000, covered by insurance. A Pastor Resigns. The resignation of Rey.

There I8 little to be said that has not been sald of “The County Fair” Nell Burgess' faithful picture of New Efigland life, which carried one back to childhood last night at Boyd's theater. The scent of the country permeates the play and fills the nostrils with an aroma of simple pleasures, of loves, of dutles well performed; in a word, the dear delights which are so inseparably associated with that part of the republic which gave to history the ploneers of a new civilization erected upon a stern and rock-bound coast, The play has preached its lessons of holy living to thousands of theater-goers, and itself | is an idyl in ite stmplicity, appealing frre- sistibly to the hearts of those who have fol- | lowed the varying fortunes of the men and omen who make the story very real and very natural. As great dramas go, ft would hardly stand a crucical test if placed along- side the works of Mollere, Sardon, Ibsen or our own Bronson Howard, but as a New England character sketch, with just enough Story, (o make it Interestiog, “The, Gounty Fal history of the stage as the plays that go thundering down the ages, remarkable in the treatment of great soclal problems, in the handling of strong emotions and still stronger human passions, The company is excellently balanced, Miss Marle Bates playing the Abigall Prue with all her old-time versatility, bringing to the part excellent stage training and a knowledge of stage business abso- lutely essential in the development of a type | by no means rare either in New England or the middle states. Otis Tucker is in the very competent hands of J. Le Brase, who injects a great deal of genuine humor in the character, which is a companion plece to Uncle Josh of the “Old Homestead.” F. Leiden, as Old Hammerhead, the miserly deacon and the villain of the play, it such lie can be denominated, was entirely satis- factory, while H. H. Winchell plays the juvenile part of Joel Bartlett with excellent discrimination. a loveable Sally Greenaway, playing the same part with which she has been identified for years, while Taggs, the waif, is given a very stromg representation by Kittie Beck, who was seen here a season or 80 ago in the 'Voodoo.” Shels a bright bit of femininity dances well and plays the soubret part with intelligence. The play is well mounted, the race as exciting as ever, and the mortgage on the farm Is Iifted by the dexterity of Cold Molasses in throwing dust in the eyes of his competitors for the big purse hung up by “The County Fair." Coming \ttractions. Few subjects present a more fruitful fleld to the dramatist than the balmy life of the south, with ils diverse types of character, and where extraordinary events of high dramatic value—impossible in any other en- vironment—are of everyday occurrence. It 1s this life that the author has endeavored to depict in “On the Swanee River,” the southern comedy-drama in which Marie Wellesley will be seen in the principal role at the Fifteenth Street theater for the week of November 18, Leginning Sunday matinee. A short synopsis of this play is that Gen- eral Dalton, a once wealthy ex-confederate officer, meeting with financial reverses, is compelled to mortgage his old plantation to a miserly old money lender, and is to meet the mortgage at a given hour on a certain day. General Dalton returns with the money in time to pay the debt, but is struck from behind and instantly Killed by the miser, The son of General Dalton witnesses the murder and after a struggle is knocked senseless and upon recovery his reason is de- prived him Dby the blow, leaving him a help- lesn-half-wit, ‘with no memory of the past. ‘The. remaining acts of the play show how the daughier of the murdered man is stricken bkind from the effects of a severe attack of ‘brain fever, into which she Is thrown by the death. of her. father. The aunt, an ad- venturess, schemes. with the miser for the possession of the dead man’s property, but she Is outwitted by Major Barlow, an old friend of ‘@eneral Dalton, a West Point cadet, and the faithful old négro aunt, Deborah, who is a servant of “Massa’ Dalton. ' The theater-going pubile of Omaha will re- member the successful engagement of the redlistic southern drama, "Old Kentucky.” “On the Swanee River” bears a siriking similarity to this drama. Like “Old Kentucky,” they carry a pickaninny band of fourteen little darkies, who come forward in songs and dances. They also carry a car- AP PAAAIIAR ONTI CLOTH An Ulster— A Cold Wave— We can’t control the But we do control Men’s Ulsters. —$10- 1 g In every known cloth or color with big collars and good and long, ‘We don't ask more than half price.

Coming to Boyd's on Sunday next, Novem- bor 18, for An engagement covering (two nights, is Pauline Hall and her superb com- pany, who will present for the first time in this city the new operatic comedy, ‘‘Dor- cas,” the author of which is Harry Paulton, made famous by his brilliant work as the composer of *Ermine.” “Doreas,” which s in three acts, combines the pleasing qualities of both an operatic and dramatic entertainment, as it is replete with bright, sparkling and pretty music, all of which are in strict keeping with its brilliant comedy lines. “Doreas,” the idea of which is taken from an old German comedy, takes place during the soventeenth century. In writing this comedy Mr. Paulton has taken the idea only, as for filling out of the details of the story he has relied upon his own imagination. Miss Hall is called upon during the action ot “Dorcas” to appear in three distinct char- acters. In the first place as a Jolly young peddier boy, then as Doreas, the wife of the wilage inn-keeper, and lastly In her true character of Lady Honoria. Not content with her own personal popu- larity and drawing powers, Miss Hall has en- gaged as strong company as possible, com- prising as it does such well known artists as Jeannette St. Henry, Kate Davis, Willlam Broderick, J. Aldrich Libbey, Charles H Bradshaw, etc. The sale of seats will open at 9 o'clock tomorrow. Frank Murray, the advance manager of the American Extravaganza company, which will present “‘Aladdin, Jr.,” at Boyd's theater the last half of next week, has, with his as- sistant, taken possession of the offices and th advertising department of Manager | Boyd's theater. Speaking of the new bal- let in “Aladdin, Jr.” Mr. Murray said last night: “The two premler dansueses in ‘Aladdin, Jr.’ cannot, I am sure, be excelled | on any of the stages of the London and Paris | theaters. It is surely unnecessary to tell the patrons of Boyd's theater anything about Martha Irmler, who has been with the Amer- fean Extravaganza company for three years, and who Is as great a favorite here as she is everywhere else. The new premier, Mile. Catherine Bartho, who will make her first appearance in Omaha on the opening night of ‘Aladdin, Jr.’ was engaged by Mr. Hender- son directly from the Imperial theater, Mos- vow. She is certainly the finest ballet dancer seon in Russia for many years. Irniler and Bartho dancing together, each moving to the same measure, gliding and floating about, Just alike, is a picture that is not soon for- gotten.” Stage Whispers. “The Coming Woman” is the name of a new playsat the Fifth Avenie, James O'Nefll Is playing a new romantic drama entitled “Don Carlos de Seville,” by Eugene Feltner.
