In spite of the announcement that was made by Rev. B. W. Allen a few days ago to his congregation that he had decided to reject the call extended to him by a church in Buffalo, N. Y., and remain pastor of the Christian church in this city, there seems to be some doubt as to whether he will really stay here. During the past few days, it is sald by a rellable authority, there have been men at work trying to werk up a feeling against him, and so_earnest have been their efforts that' he is thinking seriously of 2 cepting thie call to the Buffalo church. “Dr. A. H. Carter, who formerly preached for us,”" said one of the members yesterday, “has been trying to get Allen out for the last two vears, When he resigned he did §0 with the hope that we would give him a bigger salary and refuse to accept the resig- nation. But we didn’t, ana that is the cause of his grievance. He left the church last summer, and several of his sympathizers went with him. Ever since they went out they have been trying to work up a feeling against Allen. The pastor has now about come to the conclusion that if he steps out he will leave an opportunity for the dis- affected ones to come back, and I shouldn’t be surprised if he did so. The offer he has had is one of a lifetime, and we can’t blame him if he accepts it.” Dr. Carter's friends clalm for him an en- tire innocence of any attempt to stir up trouble, and with a surprising unanimity, in view of the reports that are going around, assert that they have none but the friend- liest of feelings for Mr. Allen. fave Your Money.

At the First Presbyterian church yesterday morning Dr. Phelps preached an eloquent sermon on the subject of foreign missions, and at the close of his discourse a collection was taken for the benefit of the socety which looks after .the foreign mission work. He painted a dark picture of things as they now are in heathen lands, and inclined to the belief that China, after the Christianizing {nfluence of the gospel had had time to make itself felt, would arise in a might that would malke Japan, or any other country that might try tq, take advantage of its lethargy, but a plgmy in its hands. Christianity was the power that had lifted civilized lands above the heathen, and the church ought to put forth every effort possible to carry the gos- pel still further into countries blinded by paganism. He read from a secular paper published In Boston an editorial paragraph which stated that the Christian missionary must be considered as having done a large part in bringing about the change of the last few decades In foreign countries. “And yot,” exclaimed the speaker, “one of our loeal papers comes out with an article in which it sneers at the laziness and uscless- ness of our missionaries. When I sce such con—well, I came very near swearing—but when I sece such contemptible items in our papers, It makes my blood boil.” Bpecial Flour Sale This Week at C. 0. D Browo's. Brown's C. 0. D.

Wilkins and a man named Baker, two young fellows employed about Dohany opera house, spent Sunday afternoon with a number of thelr friends in a room back of the stage, and a very pleasant afternoon it was. A growler navigated back and forth several times until both Wilkins and Baker became very jagged about the edges, They then wanted ‘to fight, Baker has had his muscles hardened by months of wrestling with & paste brush and theatrical posters, and all that prevented Wilking from being utterly annihilated was the appearance of Baker's brother, a barber, who separated them and tried to get his brother to go home. But he was obstinate and insisted upon stay- ing and completing the work of destruction, The barber thereupon gave him a couple of vigorous smashes in the face, and excluim- g, “I'm dolng this for your own good,” he dramatically put his brother under his wing and took him hime.

How Further Crop Full May e Avoi “That Nebraska's future welfare depends on irrigation remarked Senator Rathbun of Nebraska, “is becoming more apparent each succeeding year, as one crop failure fol- ilu\\'s another. The people in my section of the state have come to realize that fact and efforts are now being made to have a bill passed by the legislature giving ald to the farmers in Frontier and Furnas counties for the purpose of sinking artesian wells, The water supply from the streams and rivers in southwestern Nebraska is insufiicient to irri- e the bottom lands alone, and in order to muke irrigation practicable at all in that part of the state it will lbe necessary to get our water supply in the mahner I have just stated. Whether or not this will be practica ble remains to be seen. We have already commenced driving artesian wells, and one is to the depth of 2,000 ‘feet, but no results have been obtained yet.

ROCKFORD, 111, Jan. 27.—Commander-in Chief Lawler and staff left for Vermont to- | day to attend the state encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. They expect to attend every encampment held in the | union this year. In a general order issued lay stafl appointments are made for sey- | enteen states and proper observance of | Washington's birthday and Memorial day s | urged, | FOREST, FIELD AND STREAM, It seems that the only salvation for our game and fish Is & uniform series of game laws by every state in the union. When this | can be brought about there will be some as- surance that extermination is not fate of our birds and animals. The late enow has made rabbit hunting good, and within the past two days there | has probably been many hundred killed fn this vicinity. In speaking of wild game at the recent | meeting in Chicago of the National Game, Bird and Fish Protective assoclation, W. B. Bortree, the president, gald: “Our wild game is fast disappearing. It took but two years to exterminate wild pigeons, the principal instru ment of destruction being the pot hunters' nets. Now the wild duck 1z threatened with extermination, and in its wake, unless the law puts a peremptory stop to the practice our other game will soon be wiped out. Guns are increasing all the time. Manufacturers are devising new and more destructive weap- ons, the powder has been wonderfully im- proved upon, and it is possible to kill more | game In a day than was possible in a week | to be the | with the old weapons, 1 notice by the papers that 1,800 head of deer were received in the local markets during the holiday season. All were slaughtered in a narrow strip of terri- tory In northern Michigan. The market hunt ers drove the herd into a corner and ex terminated it. A great bulk of this game s now stored in the cold storage warchouses in this city. The demand has not been equal to the supply. Tons of wild fowl a stored away for future consumption not right. The market hunter is a deadly foe to our fish and game interests and should be suppressed.” Following i a skeleton of a proposed new bill to make Nebraska dogs personal prop- erty. The bill was prepared by Mr. Will Simeral, and was read the second time in the legislature Wednesday De it enacted by state of Nebraska That all dogs in the state of Nebraska are hereby declared to be personal property, and any person willfully destroying the same, or stealing, or taking with mtent to steal, any dog of any other person, shall be guilty of larceny under the laws of the state of Ne- the legislature of the braska as applied to petit and grand lar- ceny; provided, That any dog running at large, without a sufficient collar and tag thereon, for the period of ten days, in any city, town or village in this state, shall be declared a_nuisance and the proper authori- tles may destroy the same. Sec. 2. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after the 1st day of June, 1895, A i Jacksonviiie Willing to Talk Ball. JACKSONVILLE, 111, Jan. 27.—(Special.)- Base ball is rather on the boom at present in this little city, notwithstanding the fact that we are in the midst of a snowstorm No matter what kind of weather we have the sports are always ready to talk base ball, and play last year's games over even yet. We have at present about $2,000 in notes from citizens who are willing to sup- port base ball in that way, besides the a surance of a large atfendance at the games when the season opens. The grounds will be put in shape as soon as the weather permits, and thelr useful- ness enhanced by the addition of an en- tirely new grand stand and bleachers. E erything will be made with the idea of comfort and convenience to the patrons of the games, and the directors anticipate a lieartier support than ever this year. Mr. W. W. Kent, president of the as ciation, whose home is in this city, stated a few days ago that the rumor to the effect that the Western association would be re- organized was without foundation, and it would probably remain as it is. Sioux City, he said, has no claim upon this organization. She cannot hope to get in, and it is no use trying further. Rock Island has been clam- oring for admission ever since the Des Moines meeting, and the probabilities are that she will continue to clamor. The twin cities did not get into the *push” at that meeting, and now they will have to look through a knot hole in the fence while the Western assoclation s playing ball. We have secured as our manager J. D. Aydelot of Marlon, Ind., who has an excel- lent reputation as a ball player and man- ager, and no doubt he will please, as he comes highly recommended. He will arrive Monday, and begin signing men. Caplinger, our last year's twirler, will be with "us again. He has signed with Indianapolis, but that éity does mot want him until next year, and he has been loaned to Jacksonville, upon condition that he be returned to them at the end of the season. Whisperings of the Wheel. A strong sentiment against road racing is developing even among many wheelmen who have heretofore been more or less promi- nently identified with that branch of the sport They feel that if wheelmen desire to be accorded all the rights and privileges to which they are entitled they must respect the laws and the rights of others, Arthur A. Zimmerman, the famous pro- fessional bicycle rider, announces that he is going to Australia. He has planned to re- main in this country until August, when he It will go to the antipodes. is expected that Harry Wheeler will accompany Zim- merman and that both riders will take part in the big races. Racing for cash prizes is carried on extensively in Australia, and the race meet promoters of that country have been negotiating with Zimmerman for some months. The western delegates to the national as- sembly meeting of the League of Amerlcan Wheelmen, which will be held next month, intend to bring opposition to bear against the adoption of some of the most radical changes suggested. The leading members of the Wisconsin division have ventilated their views upon the road racing question, the matter of charging fees for sanctions for races and their disapproval of the League of American Wheelmen sanctioning races for women. The racing board of the division anuounces the following on races for women: “The spectacle of racing for ladies has hap- pily been of rare occurrence in our state. We believe that such races are contrary to public sentiment and cannot but have a prejudicial effect upon cycling.” Through His hpring Bonnet. Following is a telegram sent to the Chi cago papers from W. W. Kent, the new president of the Western assoclation: “JACKSONVILLE, 1ll, Jan. 23.—The dis- patch from Sioux City in the morning papers contained an account of the reorganization of the Western assoclation, from which Jack- sonville and Quincy would be dropped. W. W. Kent, president of the assoclation, said that no such reorganization was contem- plated. A meeting, however, will be held in February for the purpose of considering the application of Rock Island, who clamors for readmission, and it is probable that the club that Is making the biggest stir—Omaha—may b> dropped to make room for the Twin Cities," Mr. Kent may be a great railroad magnate and business may fill his head from occiput to frontal bone, but at the end of the com- ing season when he undertakes to make up the averages of the players in the asso- ciation he will have to call in some base ball man to assist him in separating the base hits from the passed balls. When he talks about dropping Omaha he does so through his bangs. If Omaha. Lincoln, St. Joe and Des Moines don't have something to say in regard to the presumptuous manifesto of this awfully bran new base ball “maggot,” I'll miss my guess. The absence of Presi- dent Kent from any of the consultations of the managers of the association will in no- wise interfere with that body's equilibrium, He is the president but is about as necessary to the prosperity of the association as an ice house in hades Washington Park Meeting Definitely Off.
