PUBLIC SENTIMENT FAVORS THE GAME Plebiscite Shows Overwhelming Vote tor, but Law and Order League Keeps Up Its Activity Agsinat the Sport. NEBRASKA CITY, Neb, July 20.—(Spe- efal.)~Fight hundred and forty-four votes were cast at the plebescite held yesterday to get & line on the sentiment of the com- munity 10 regard to Sunday base ball. It resulted, 526 for and sixteen against, with two votes thrown out. The registration is Something over 1,400, so that the vote Aliows & substantial majority of all votes. The Omaha team that had agreed (o come down today for a game did not show and It was necessary to substitute & local aggregation that has been in reserve for just such an emergency. Twelve hun- dred to 1,600 people were at the game. The officers of the Snnday Observance league sccured a warrant from Judge Leigh and the paper was put into the ands of the sheriff. The game had pro- ceeded to the end of the fourth inning, when the officers appearcd and arrested the players. They e taken to the jus- tice's office, “where they gave a bond for $25 each for appearance Monday morning at 9 o'clock. The scene on the ball grounds when the sheriff appeared was one of wild dlsorder. The crowd cried foudly for the reading ot the Warrant, which the sheriff refused to do. An agreement was finally reached and the men finally went with the officers. ‘The score at the end of the’fourth inning was 4 to 0 in favor of the Argos. After the time for hearing the cases had been fixed, Rev. ©. M Shepherd, who Is prosecuting the cases, tound himself on en- tering the justice’s office surrounded by 200 or more men and boys, who hooted and jeersd him on his way home, about two blocks. Here quite a crowd assembled, but & littlo cool counsel prevailed and the mob disappearcd. GRAFTERS COME WITH CIRCUS Hooper People Become %0 Enraged that Evening Performance is Abandoned. HOOPER, Neb., July 20.—(Special.)— Hooper does not have a circus very often, but yesterday was circus day here. Howe's Great London shows arrived in town early yosterday morning, but they were preceded by a gang of eighteen grafters who came in the evening before. It was undoubtedly the toughest aggregation that ever struck this town, and the circus, instead of giv- | ing its usual evening exhibiticn, started to pull stakes early in the evening and loaded its train at the time its show should have taken place. The mob had srown quite large around the tracks and weveral negroes were stationed around che :lrl Wwith rifies to see that no violence was on The grafters had made application to ply their games on the streets, but were vefused by the city clerk, so they did their work on the show grounds and Inside the tents, and no less than twenty-five victims are mourning the loss “of some spare change. One young man lcst $100 at the shell game, another prominent farmer lost 338 and a score of others dropped from $5 to §20 each. One man short changed a dozen people for $4 to $9 each, and & num- ber of women and men had thelr pocket- books snatehed from their hands and thelr pockets picked in the crowd that was leaving the:tent wher the storm came up. Oné man selfing tickets ' out on the grounds was knocked down by an intended victim, who then appropriated the con- tents of his satchel. The work was all done so quickly that before the people realized what was belng done the gam- blers and thieves had boarded trains and ®ot out of town, while severdl of them hired teams and drove out. Likes Teaching in Philippines, FALLS CITY, Neb., July 20.—(Speclal.)— Prof. C. D. Schell, who resigned the prin- cipalship of the high school here last month to go to the Philippines to engage In teaching together with his wife, re- cently wrote a letter to J. O. Morehead, president of the Board of Education, a part of which follows ‘“We are nicely lo- cated and have been teaching two weeks. Gapan, our town, of 10,000 people, 1s forty- five miles from Manila. This part of the country is very healthful and beautiful. We are all three well and pleased with our location. Mrs. Schell also is teaching.

This m ing was attended by nearly a bundred of the adjacent land owners and a deep In- terest was manifested, an organization com- pleted, the object of Which is to stralghten the stream. It was shown that such strecams had been stralghtened with bene- ficlal effect both in Missourl and Iowa. The people are thoroughly In earnest and it looks very much like something would be dope. Aunother meeting is called for next Saturday. Tax on Commission Business, FALLS CITY, Neb., July 20.—(Special.)— At the last meeling of the city council a lvely time was had in the passage of ordi- nance No. 191. A seotion of the ordinance provides that commission houses shall pay n anoual ocoupation tax of $200. Some of the councilmen thought the amount all right and others thought it too much.

The chief crop there, however, is corn, and there is the same ruln as at other place In the vieinity of Quincy and Hannibal there Is much unnecessary loss on account of the pecullar conditions of the flood. A smaller flood began to subside, when warn- ings from the Keokuk weather bureau ob- rver was received and unheeded as being after the fact, when actually as before a new and extraordinary fact. The levees protecting the Missourl bot- toms between Keokuk ap4 Quincy stood the strain of today's flood. The Beyptian levee is still several inches above the Des Motne river, which is now stationary here, at its mouth. Reports from Ottumwa show & fall of two feet.

FARMER, N, Y., July 20.—The most dis- astrous flood that has visited this portion of Seneca county occurred this afternoon. The rain commenced last night, but the heavy downpour came between 2 and 8:30 this afternoon, washing everything In the path of the current it created. Wheat in the shock, bay cocked up, gardens, roads and in some places bridges were washed out. At the Lehigh Valley depot on level ground the ballasting was washed from under the track in several places. The damage to the town of Cove~t will amount to thousands of dollars. UTICA, N. Y., July 20.—Heavy rains dur- ing the past twenty-four hours has.again overflowed the Mobawk river and the low- lands. It is believed the oats, hay and corn crops will be very small. Illinots Still Rising. PEORIA, IIl., July 20.—The Illinols river stands in imminent danger tonight of caus- ing thousands of dollars worth of damage to buildings and manufactories in Peoria. The damage already caused along the low- lands by the floods was but a drop in th bucket to what it will be if the water gets one foot higher and river men say there is no possibility of the water ng in the next thirty-six hours. Today the river stood 20.5 feet above low Water mark, and was golng up at the rate of balf an inch an hour. Should it continue at this rate unt{l noon tomorrow it will have passed the high water mark of 1892. The people along the lowlands both above and below Peoria have sought the highlands with their stock. IRISH LEAGUE MEETING FAILS Lack of Attendance Results in No Organization of Propesed Local Bra: The loss to property Owing to the failure of the people to turn out there was no meeting of friends of the Irish cause yesterday afternoon for the purpose of forming a branch of the Irish National League of America, accord- ing to the call dssued by a committee of citizens a few days ago. T. J. Maboney, in whose hands the mat- ter was placed, briefly spoke to the few who were present, saylng that he had called the meeting at the suggestion of & number of citizens, some of whom had apparently forgotten the date; that John P, Sutton of Lincoln had been invited to address the meeting and was present for that purpose, but that in view of the slim attendance there would be no address. He further sald that steps would be taken to devise some plan by which the friends of the par- liamentary party in Ireland could send money to advance the caus but_gave no outline of the plan, intimating that it would be considered by=n committe later.

BEAUTIFUL ROW IN BOTTOMS it ot A fight occurred before t Second and Hickory streets last night, in which J. W. Carroll and Sam Hoff were beaten into a pulpy coudition of countenance and otherwise bruised and injured. These two and others were about the saloon and some young men re playing ball in the street. One of these latter got the idea that one of the former was trylng to steal his coat and the fight followed. Carroll, whose eyes were battered shut so that he could not see to rum, was the only one on the ground when the police ar- rived. The three principal assallants es- caped across the river in a row boat, and Hoff fled over the lowlands towards his bome on South Thirteenth street. LOCAL BREVITIES.

LAST PAYMENT MADE ON THE COLUMBUS Development Work Being Pushed on Properties Which ¥ Lying for eral Years. Seve Bee DEADWOOD, 8. D., July 20.—(Special.)— The Juplter is the name of a new mining company which was organized last weok for the purpose of working the Gustin group of mines, a sale of which was re- cently made to eastern and Deadwood parties. It le the intentlon of the new company to begin operations at once on the ground. The officers of the new or- ganization are: Frank T. Sanders, Colo- rado Springs, president: K. G. Phillips, Deadwood, vice president; John T. Wat- won, Colorado Springs, treasurer; Burt Rogers, Deadwood, secretary. The com- pany will break ground this week for a ed with the ground on Blacktall gulch. The fill will be a wet crushing cyanider with daily capacity of 100 tons, but powered #0 that it may be increased at any time to 500 tons, which is the purpose of the company to do 8o soon as it has its ground iIn good working shape and producing. In the three claims which compose the group owned by the Juplter company there Is an {mmense amount of ore In sight, in the present workings 200,000 tons having al- ready been blocked out, mesays of which runs all the way from $10 to $40 per ton gold. The dlstriot In which the Gustin group ls situated is one of the producing districts of the Black Hills, and ore Is being shipped from the mines of it every day to the Deadwood reduction works the Deadbroke, the Kicking Horse and a number of other well known mines cou- tributing to the stream of ore Wwhich Is pouring into the treatment plants of this clity daily. The Elkhorn Railroad com- pany has a road to the mouth of the gulch, and has surveys made for its ex- tension to the mines here and in Garden Olty. Operations on this branch wil begin this summer, and as it is but a &hort dis- tance to tap all of the producing mines with a spur, it will not be long in build- ing. Addition to Reduction Plant. The Horseshoe Mining company Thureday Iast awarded a contract to Deadwood people to bulld a 100-ton addition to its present cyanide mill. This work will be carried on without interfering with the operation of the present plant, which has a capacity of 100 tons a day and which has been in suc- cessful operation for the last four months. The company has started work on a cyanide plant which will be entirely separate trom the one which it 1s now operating and which it is adding to. This plant will have a dally capacity of 1,200 tons and it 1s in- tended to try and have it in operation be- fore real cold weather sets in. Besides the ore which is being mined from the Horse- shoe ground of a cyanide ?lr‘el"‘ there 1s a vast amount of smelting ore taken out, the company belng one of the heaviest ship- rers to the Omaha smelting works in the Black Hills, as well as to the National Smelter at Rapld City, shipping to the lat- ter works 125 tons of ore dally. Articles of incorporation of the Columbus Consolidated Mining company have been filed with the secretary of statc. The in- corporators are Henry A. Mayham of Colo- rado Springs, Asa Baldwin and Norma T. Mason of Deadwood. The company recently made the last payment on the Columbuu and other ground near Central City, two miles above Deadwood. An account of the sale of this ground was published in The Bee a montb or &0 ago, and it was one of the most important that has been made in the North- ern Hills in many years, 1t involved the payment of nearly $500,000 and the transfer of over 600 acres of valuable, well devel- oped mining land on the northern exten- slon of the De Smet vein of the Homestake Mining company. Work on this ground will be resumed at once and the ore bodies opened up for working. The annual meeting of the Deer Lick Min- ing company has been held and the follow- ing officers elected: President, J. W. Huff vice president, G. W. Nash; secretary-tre urer, B. F. Roberts. The company is de- veloping & group of claims on Iron creek, west of Deadwood, and has a pretty fair prospect, which it hopes to open up into a mine. Nahant Pleking Up. NAHANT, 8. D., July 20.—(Special)— Work on the Montana mine, which was re- sumed but a month ago, Is progressing rapidly and the main shaft is now down 125 feet, and the miners are working in ore. The ledge at this depth is twelve feet wide, and appears to be growing better as it is belng sent down. The Montana is owned by E. C. Smith of Connecticut, son of the late ex-Governor Smith of that state. who twelve years ago shut the mine down after an unsuccessful attempt to save the values in the ore by crushing and ama mation. The vein on the surface was a free- milling proposition, but as soon as a lit- tle depth was obtalned on it the ore be- came rebellious, and while it gave high assays its values could not be saved by the process employed. The ex-governor, belleving ‘that he had bought something which was not worth having, shut the mine down, dismantled the mill which had been erected on it and sold the machimery to different parties. Since that time the mine has been idle, but the successful treatment of similar ore by the cyanide process since then has induced the ex-governor's son, E. C, Smith, to resume operations, whivh he has with a large force of miners and other workmen under an efficlent super- intendent. The camp since operations on the Mon- tana have been resumed is picking up and many mine owners have begun work on thetr properties and everything looks fa- vorable for & prosperous summer. There are & number of good prospects about the camp Which have been worked only suff- clently to keep up the annual assessment since the Montana closed down twelve years ago. New Prospect on Ilk Creek. GALENA, 8. D., July 20.—(Spécial)— Greshong Brothers and assoclates are open- ing up o good prospect on Elk creek, just one-halt mile south of the Clover Leaf, which promises to develop into & paying proposition. They have started work on a group of eight clalms, located, it 1s clalmed along the strike of the veln which has made the Clover Leat famous as a producer for many Years pa: This property, strangt as It may seem, in a district which ha been gone over and worked for years, bms been located but a short time, and how it bas been overlooked for so long a time by the prospector is & wonder. There has been = little work done on the ground, consisting of & shaft twenty-five feet de which has been sunk on the edge of the ore body, and ome or two open cuts on the ledge, where it is exposed on the surfac The ore from these workings has been sam- pled and assayed and the results, while not startlingly large, are very satisfactory, and give the eatest of encouragement that with dépth the ore hody will carry good commercial values. The samples assayed, which have all been taken from the sur- face, give returns ranging from $1.26 to $8 per ton, and occasionally & plece of quarts is found which carries a lttle free gold. The owners are now sinking on the main veln, which Is at the surface thirty feet wide. The ore at present Is free- milling, but ke all of the ore in thia dis- trict will become rebellious as depth Is attained, and with the change the ore will probably ket richer. The shaft which h been started will be sunk as far as it can be without the ald of machinery, and should the results prove to be as good as indications now show holsting machinery will be placed on the thaft and the work of sinking continued. The Clover Leat company has started lts sawmill, and is getting out lumber for a big flume with which it intends to take the water from Elk creek and bring it to its stamp mill. Most of the water now used in the mill {s taken from the mine, but the addition of forty stamps to the mill has rendered this source of supply ln- adequate for the running of the entire stamp capacity of the mill. As soon as the flume is completed the entire sixty stamps will begin dropping. The main ore body of the Clover Leaf, where struck by the new drift from the 600-foot level, is prov- Ing to be as extensive t the surface, while the ore values are, if anything, just a trifie higher. Resume Work on Nelsom Clatm, Sinking has been resumed on the Nel- son ground, on thé divide between Bare Butte and Elk creek and the shaft will be sunk until it has reaghed a depth of 200 teet. Good prospects are being recelved from the ore taken from the ehaft, which is tollowing down on the veln. A road has been bullt connecting Galena with the Portland mine in Ruby, owned by James Conzett, and a shipment of ore will be made this week. It is the inten- tion to ercct a cyanide plant on this ground this summer it the necessary ar- rangements can be made, for it is proving to be the richest proposition in the Ruby gulch district, the ore carrying free gold In quantities. An ore house, blacksmith shop and other bullings have been erected at the mine, the development of which is being continued right along, and the vein in the main working tunnel getting stronger as it 1s gone in on. Parties who have been’ looking at the Cooper ground in Ruby have about dectded to begin work, but will not bulld a plant this year. It has been the Intention fo ship to one of the Deadwood treatment plants, and now that the raliroad has been completed to within a sbort distance of the dump this will probably be done at once. The Monarch mine is continuing shipments of rich ore to Deadwood, but as it is being worked by private parties the values are not given out. That the shipments are valuable is known, as the Monarch has produced somé of the richest ore that has ever been taken out of the Bare Butte dis- trict, Bart Harris last Thursday made a ship- ment of four carloads of rich ore from the Sunday mine, in Strawberry gulch, to the Imperial cyanide mill at Deadwood for treatment, and has several tons on the dump which he' will hip later. GOoD HARVEST IS IN SIGHT Wheat in South Dakota Abeut Re SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., July 20—-(Spec|ll) —Before many more days have p: wheat harvest will be in progress in nm central and southern portions of South Da- kota. All reports agree that the outlook for an abundant yleld could not be more promising. The ‘very hot weather during the past week was exactly what was needed to ripen wheat and hasten the growth of corti. The growth of the latter was very backward during the early part of the summer owing to the unusually cool and cloudy weather. , South Dakota has, gen- erally speaking, been very fortunate this year. Parts of the state which last year ané meveral years prior thereto suffered from a lack of suficient molsture, this season have had abundance of rain. Notably is this the case in the Eureka distriet, which embraces the territory in the ex- treme morth central part of the stat just east of the Missouri river and ex- tending to the North Dakota line. Fear s expressed in some parts of the ate that the farmers will not be able to ure sufficient help to emable them to bandle thelr crops with the desired promptness. However, thousands of har- vest hands are entering the state and while & large percentage of them are genu- ine hoboes, who do not want to work, there are enough honest and deserving workmen among the new arrivals to furnish a great deal of the help desired. Owing to the prosperous conditions in the state, the wages of harvest hands wiil probably rule high. Hundreds of farmers already have engaged their harvest hands. Wages will start in at $1.75 and $2 per day, and may go to $3 per day before the grain 1s shocked, depending largely upon weather conditions and the necessity for promptly getting the crop out of the way.

MINERS RETURN TO HOMES Men Who Gathered to Make Pro- n for Carrying on Aunthracite Strike Leave Indianapolis No. on de- No. weekly, i INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 20.—The last of the miners who were here to make pro- vislon for carrying on the strike in the anthracite fleld left the city today for their homes. Only President Mitchell and ome or two members of the national ex- ecutive board remain and their stay will be short, President Mitchell expects to leave for Wilkesbarre tomorrow or Tues- daz. The care of the national organization now will be to see to the collection of the de- tense fund with which to carry on the strike. Secretary Wilson, who is the finan- clal head of the union, will be in charg of this work and will lose no time in pro- viding to handle the sums. It is believed various districts and subdistricts and local within the next ten days. These con- tributions are estimated at about $400,000. A part of the contribution money has been already turned in. The Ohio men, be- fore leaving, turned over to Secretary Wil- son & check for thelr $10,000. The $50,000 trom Illinols is expected to arrive tomor- row. Indiana and lowa are expected to make their donations at once and the other districts will do the same. be adopted vassing for outside subscriptions in The miners hope'to ralse $250,000 a week trom the public contributions, as that much will be necded to bring the sum up to $500,- 000. Their exact plan of ralsing the subscrip- tions has not been determined upon yet, as President Mitchell declared today that it is of too recent date to allow much time for arranging such detalls. It is probable, however, the Central Labor unions in all cltles where such organization exists will be asked to take charge of the ralsing of — e e that all voluntary contributions from the | organizations will be turned into his hands | SAY o subscriptions, which will be forwarded at once to Secretary-Treasurer Wilson. In some of the largest cities of the coun- try, such as Chicago, New York, Philadel- phia and others, headquarters will be es- tablished, from which the work will be conducted and committces will be ap- pointed to make the canvass. national eocialists organization. Mr. Leon Greenbaum, secretary of the national com- mittee, who was here to attend the con- vention, turned over to President Mitchell the membership lists of that party and $75 In money which had been sent to the headquarters at St. Louis.
