WESTERN LEAGUE WORRIES Admit Their Disappointment Over Lack of Resuits FRACTICALLY NOTHING IS ACCOMPLISHED Nagnates Kansas City is Not Certain to e a Member, and Committee Goen Ount to Dram Up New Capital in Other Places. KANEAS CITY, Jan, gram.)—The meeting 16, of (8pecial Tele- Western league base ball magnates which came to a sudden | end today accomphished probably the lesst business of any similar meeting ever held in the history of the natwnal game. The “business” consleted of tuking the Denver franchise from W. A. Beall and awarding It to D. O. Packard. The circult question Is il In & nebulous state and from pres- ent indications the league will he weak- ened rather than strengthened by the towns that will be taken fn to Bl the vacancies in case the organjzation does not fall of fts uwn weight. It was oxpected that Indianapolls, waukee, Loulaville ‘and possibly St. Paul would send representatives here to make application for membership in the leagu but none of them was represented except Milwaukee, and the Brewers' town only by & proxy Tommy Dowd sald be would like to have the franchise there, but his request was passed up and a committee was appointed to try to Induce Milwaukee capitalists to back a team In their town. It is conceded that the other towns mentloned are out of the possibility column, and even it Mi- wiukoo should come fn, the Western leagus wouldh have a fight on its hands there and In Kansas City and Omaba, the only thres respectable base ball towns th the probable circult Mil- Kansan City Moy Withdraw. It I« ot at all sure that Kansas City will be represented in the Western, as it s be- lieved by many here that Manning is bluft- ing about building u new park in a remote corner of the town to frighten the Ameri- can aseoclation. As far as could bo learned from the magnatos only ono player has been signed by the entire Western leagu He is a former local amateur named Mc- Connell. He will be with Denver. Rourke of Omaba says Bd Hickey, formerly of In- dlanapolls, had accepted his terms. Ma: ning says he fs golug to “walt until the big leagues begin (o cast oft” befare he tries for a local team. The magnates held two sessions today and decided to meet in Denver at the the call of the president to decide a sched- ule. In the meantime the circult commit- tee will visit Peorla, Des Moines, Sioux Clty and Milwaukee and try to find local capltalists who will back teams In one of more of those towns. There le no dlsguis- ing the fact that the magn: were dis- appointed in the representation at the meeting, and the fact that only cities like Peorfa and Sloux City made applications for franchises had a depressing effect that call of the president to decide a sched- was notable when the maguates tgok the evening trains for home. Preaident Whitfield's €1 President Whitfleld tonight the following statement: It was decided at today's meeting that the Western league season shall be of five months' duration and. all players will be signed for that length of time. The com- mittee on constitution and bylaws was | structed to fucorporate in the revision af the constftution & clause providing that 10 per cent of the gate receipts of each series of games 15 to be forwarded to the presi- dont of the league and to be placed in the general fund to defray expenses of the loague and establish & sinking fund. It was agreed that each club shall deposit $500 as guarantee to carry out all of its ob- ligations. Upon application of J. H. Man- ning the franchise awarded to the Kansas City club, James H. Manning, president, at the St. Joseph meeting was transferred to the firm of Manning & Nichols. The Kan- s City and Denver franchises were given to thelr representative holders for the full life of the league, & term of four years, ma. authorized Umplires and Salaries. The selection of umplres and the fixing of their salariea was referred to the presi- dent of the league, who was given full power to act. A vote of thanks was given to the Na- tlonal Assoclation of Minor Leagues for its attendance at this meeting. President P. T. Powers pro delegation from the: Natlona would attend the Denver meeting. Omaha, Bt. Joseph, Colorado Springs, Kan City and Des Molnes announced that they would soon be ready to give out a list of players they have signed. Of the players already signed Omaha has four, St. Joseph twelve, Des Moines twelve and Colo- rado Springs sixteen. Denver today signed Jack McConnell, a catcher, who formerly played with Minneapolis. W. A. Rourke of Omaha announced that he today agreed on terms with B4 Hickey, a third man trom Indianapolls. ‘The meeting adjourned to convene in Den- veor, subject to the call of the president. President Whitfleld sald later that the meoting would be called on or after Feb- ruary 15, ised that a assoclation Iks Shoot, Pigeon shooters as a rule can sit around a table and make stralght scores, and there has been o much talk of this kind going on among the members of the Coun- ell Bluffs and Omaha Elk lodges that the members who can see straight' without ABSOLUTE SEGURITY, Carter’s Little Liver Pills, Muet Bear Signature of | Four ¥a | of Candies "was made known, Tookin or a gu @ deoided that these alleged d will have 10 Ahook or scon FridRy afternoon & team from the Omaha lodge wiil swim over to the grounds of the Ofahs Gun club at the end of the bi and meet their brother Eiks in & twenty-bird to the man race for §1,000 a side (Eik money) There will be from eix to ten men on a side and it certainly ought to be interest- ing for scalpers Following the team e individual matches the two lodges.

W, Stevenson presented a carefully prepared paper on strawberries at the State Hortl- cultural soclety meeting today. He is one | of the leading strawberry growers of th» state and regards the Bederwood, Haveland, Crescent and Up-to-Date as good family varfeties, but rather goft in shipping. He sald that the Bubach, Jessle and Blsmarck varieties were inclined to be soft and should be picked daily; the Clyde, Sample and New York have strong roots and do not make many plants. Mr. Stevenson considers the Sample as an ideal variety and the Senator Dunl variety from New York. He Las been greatly recommended, the Sea- forth was tender and suffered from heat and drouth and the Jerry Rusk was not satisfactory. He claimed that the New York was a large berry, with only & small amount of runne recommended planting Jobnson's Early and sald the Glant was one of our very best varieties, belng very large; the Gandy is one of the latest, but not suf- fiolently productive. With him Parker Earl very fairly when it Is planted where it can be Irrigated, and suggests as a re- Ilable list of varieties the Bismarck, Golden Queen, Tennessee Prolific, Wolverton, Enor- mous, Mount Vernon, Leavitt, Princess, Saunders and Splendid. eat Methods of Culture. Mr. Stevenson's method of cultivation is the use of the weeder and has found great benefit from Irrigation. He first used horse power with bucket elevator, ralsing 5,000 gallons per hour. Later he used a gasoline engine pumping 100,000 gallons per day. After new growth starts In the spring he sprays with Bordeaux mixture and Paris green before plants bloom, and when dew 18 on sifts on lime, which has been slacked with strong lye water or with Bordeaux mixture. If no fruit is in the way he adds paris green and flour and the limedust, provided thero are any Insects to be de- stroyed. Lime also ms to be beneficial to plants, as it prevents rust. How Trees Came to Nebraska. Dr. Bessey presented & paper qn how trees came to Nebraska and said that by the influence of the wind many seeds are moved; other seeds are carrired on the water. The original apples were not made for man and the flesh of the apple was the bait that should tempt to have the apple eaten and thus be carrled to new polnts for growth; the pawpaw, with its ediblo fruit, is distributed by small animals, and the seed of the hackberry by the birds, the seeds of the ash and the elm drift with the wind, the Juneberry and the wild cherry are distributed by the birds, the maple with its winged by the wind. Of the sixty-five species of trees mentioned In this paper, eleven are distributed by the birds, five by birds and e by squirrels and small animals and tw Ix by the wind. Among the few trees that can be started In the dry prarie sod, the doctor mentioned the bull pine, which succeeded in gras land ‘without cuitivation and that more varieties of trees are found in southeartern Nebrasks, indicating that they come Into the state from that directlon. Dr. Bessey read letters from close observers elsewhere, showing the movement of trees and plants is steadily going forward. Spread of Timber Belts. Prof. Edward Shepard has abserved that our timber belts have spread to an extra- ordinary degree within the memory of man. Fifty-five or fifty-six varieties of trees came into the state from the southeast. From the Rocky mountain region we have bull pine, western red cedar and four specles of cottonwood. The buffalo berry has crossed the state to the Missourl river and is found near Peru. In explaining the natural movements and growth of tre the doctor mentioned that while man was impatient of results, and 100 years was a long time with nature, the movement of seeds a short distance each season in 1,000 years moved them a long distance. Nebraska's Natural Adva; mes. Theodore Willlams of Benson, Neb., who has a world-wide reputatidn as an experi- mentalist, gave some advanced thoughts on plum culture. He discussed his experience in the development of more than 50,000 va- rietles and gave some of the results of many years spent In testing everything which could be obtained from other sources, and propagating varieties by crosses and pollenation. This gentleman has already truited more than 3,000 varieties of apples. He regards Nebraska one of the very best states in the union for ti fruit, that is, it has the greatest natural advantage In the development and move- ment of a number of varieties of plums apparently few which had such made them worth the reproduc- He tound he was able to grow plums in large quantities near Omahas, but from lack of & paying market he did not belleve that much money could ever be made out of commercial plum growing. Among the varieties developed by his work was one ealled combination of the “Americana” _babit. He mentioned the Lakeside plum, the Wayland, the Brittle- wood, the Berwood and the Victorla, In six generations he had bred plums like the fixed yollow type by hybridizing the plums of yellow type. He had found it possible to breed size, celor, quality, productiveness and hardihood. The laws that govern animal breeding ap- ply to the development of the truits. 1t 1s possible to produce any desired result and to fix the type. The Americans plum 1s naturally adapted to Nebras| For the best results In pollenation he thought that plum trees at the distance of twenty feet were too far apart. It the two varieties could be In the sante tree it would be better, and during many unfavorable springs the question of a crop or po crop was one of pollenation. Mr, Williams had brought with him mapy sam- ples of plurs, and also sampl of his methods of grafting. Many v ing sections of trees were displayed, show- ing_the behavior of irees under various conditions ot propagation. To give an In- ft it on a tree growing stock and feed it well. Work Compared with California Man, In considering the value of Mr. Willlama' work in developing varfeties in the northern parts of Nebraska, and comparing his work with that of Luther Burbank of California, it wmust be remombered that Mr. Burbank does his work In a mild climate, where all hin productions are hardy enough for the climate In which they are produced. The work of Mr. Willlams, however, Is per- formed in a climate having such extreme changes, with occasional test winters, which no doubt kills off thousands of the weaker reproductions, and thus the sur- vivors are better fitted to stand the ex- tremely trying climate. At the close of Mr. Willlams' address BEE DAY Dr. Beesey commended the work of Mr Williams as being of the most valuable character and his presentation of the sub- Ject excellent. Oficers for the Year. These officers were next elected: Presi- dent, L. M. Russell; first vice president, G. 8. Christie of Johnson; second vice pres- ident, J. J. Hess of Omnha; secretary, C H. Bainard; treasurer, P. Younger; di- rectors, G. A. Marshall, W, J. Hesser, E. F. Stephens The president, Mr. G. A. Marshall, pre- pared a paper on “How Shall the Planter Know Best What to Plant?" He reviewed the experiences of the planters during the early periods and in other locations, and mentioned the work of Peter Gideon, who assorted that he would extend the apple belt 200 or 300 miles farther north, and who did succeed In extending it 250 miles He mentioned the work of Mr. 8. G. Patten of Charles City, 1a., who in his life study of cross-pollenation and the development of new and hardy varieties, had done much to move the apple belt north. He sald that the planter should seek varieties that will withstand dry weather, bright sunshine and sudden changes, and if the planter desires to work northw he should combine with these the ability to withstand undue cold Mr. Marshall stated that the intending planter should be acquainted with what is already growing In his own locality, se- lecting varieties that are succeeding, should the planter be located far from orchards and well-tested varleties; then he should seek varletles growing under similar con- ditlons and the native frults should be studied rywhere, with the thought of developigg sometbing of value. During the afternoon session Mr. J. H. Hadkinson presented a report of the work of the soclety and state at the Pan-Amer- fean exposition, and an account of the pre- miums awarded and the rules governing Hon, J. Bterling Morton presented a pa- per on the origin of Arbor day and its re- sults. On January 4, 1872, Mr. Morton Introduced in the Btate Board of Agricul- ture a resolution for the assignment of Arbor day. Hon. R. W. Furpas set, by resolution, April 10. Four premiums were oftered for the greatest number of troes planted on that day. The premiums amounted to between $100 and $200, Re- turns of the competition showed 3,000,000 trees planted. The speaker thought that by this time 26,000,000,000 had been planted. It is now celebrated in every state in the union, in forelgn countries, and even in the islands of the sea. Mr. Morton then read a paper at the request of the super- Intendent of schools In New Jersey. Mr. J. H. Mcintosh mentioned the debt due Hon. Mr. Morton for his Influence, when a cabinet officlal, in setting apart a forest reserve. Growth of White Pines Planted. President Marshall told how the 10,000 white pines planted by Mr. Morton were succeeding. They were planted 4xi and now are three to five inches in diameter and twelve to fifteen feet in helght. Pres- ident Marshall also mentioned white pine trees In the river counties forty-five to fifty feet in helght. Mr. Isaac Pollard of Nehawka had had his best success with the Austrian pine. His location is eight miles from the Missouri river. Mr. Betzer ot Holt county planted Scotch and Austrian pines, and had them do well in his county. Mr. Morton called attention to the very large loss arisiog from planting evergreens which had not been properly packed, in which the reslnous sap had already hardened. P. J. O'Gara, a student of tho State uni- versity, presented a carefully prepared paper on some of the diseases of the frult trees. He mentioned a fungus disease aris- ing trom mechanical injiiry; also' heart rot and root rot. WOMAN STRICKEN IN THEATER Sinks to Floor While at Entertain- ment and Falls to Reapond to Treatment.

EDUCATION AND RELICION Rev. Dr. Mintena Thinks These Twe Sheuld Oleser Together. UNIVERSITIES DO NOT TRAIN MINISTERS Feature of Learning ix Secularism, Which is Modern Institutions of Dangerous to Individual and Soclety Alike. Dr. Henry C. Minton, moderator of the Presbyterian general assembly, spoke to & goodly audience at the First Presby- terian church .ast night on the general tople of Presbyterian educational institu- tions. He was introduced by Dr. Lowrey, president of the Omaha Theological semi- nerv. In his opening remarks Dr. Minton de- fined Presbyterianism and its position among the religlous bodies of the world. Coming to the tople of education, he sald: “I belleve that Americans have gone uni- versity mad. The state university, sup- ported by public funds, has completely changed the problem of education In the last twenty-five years. I am not going to say anything against the university, but 1 am going to say something in favor of the college. 1 do not believe that the old- tashioned college 1s passe in the early days of the twentieth century. I belleve in the old colleges as against the university. The educational heresy of our times is the sub- stitution of the university for the col The co'lege develops the best there is in the man, then he may go to his technical #chool in the university. “Any boy who gets an education solely to make money prostitytes education.

We need Christian education. If our system is to omit the training of the moral and the spiritual, then it will turn out rascals and traitors. The man who took the high- est honors at Princeton was Asron Burr. “The third problem I belleve to be that of missions, Our great church, with a its resources, straining a point to glve $1,000,000 to foreign missions—a mere pit- tance—think of it! “All this is but an outline of the twentieth century movement.

(Copyright, 1902, by Preas Publishing Co.) MONTE CARLO, Jan. 15.-~(New York World Cablegram—8Special Telegram.)— Charles M. Schwab's alleged denial of his eonsational play excites astonishment here, 88 it undoubtedly created more of a sensa- tion at the casino than any event in ten years, Yesterday he won $3,900 twice run- ning, baving staked the maximum on both coups.
