Mr. Sam Morton , president of the Western I Association , has the following to say ot that body : "I think , " said ho , "that the Western I Association will have a most prosperous season. It is trua that the crowds that have f attended its games thus far have been mostly * slim but I think Iho weather has been moro to blame than anything else. The nines are all well matched , and there is some first-class timber In all tlio teams. The Chicago Maroons do not expect to draw largo crowds in Chicago on week dnys , but I think the at tendance on Sundays will make up the discrepancy on that score. " "How Is your team getting along ! " "I think they are all right. I have made ono Important change in laying olt Shoencck and putting Crogan in his placo. Shooncck is a largo heavy man and was troubled with 'Charley Horse , ' while Crogan is a much boiler player every way. being full of vim and always lively. I think I huvo strength ened the team by the change.

At 2 o'clock this morning Dr. Parker was employed plastering up painful , but not dan gerous wounds , in the neck and back of Ed Rothery , received from a knlfn blade in Iho hands of a man who is a bookkeeper at the saloon of Foley & Dirst on Douglas slrcot. The stabbing occurred on the last dummy over from tlio Bluffs , und those who witnessed it de scribe it as cowardly and unwarranted. Mr. Rothpry , with a number of friends , had been to thn Bluffs lo participate in Iho boxing ex hibition , and his assailant was very abusive in the car. Efforts wore made by the pas sengers to quiet tlio fellow , without avail , and in his rage he singled out Roihcry , who was seated in converse with his friends. "There's a mug I'm going for , " spoke up the frantic bully as ho made a thrust with his knife for Rothery , who , thinking ho was being attacked with a pistol , buckled in with his assailant and forced hi head through the window. Attracted by tlio disturbance tlio conductor camointo the car , and in Iho excite ment of the moment allowed the slabber to escapo. It was not until the blood trailed down his limbs and saturated his clothing that Mr. Rothory bccamo cognizant of his injuries , which are not serious but painful. She Wanted Kansas City Liz , who in iuklnoss of color and looseness of tongue Is the queen of the dusky cypriuns In Omaha , waddled down to tlio police court bareheaded in the rain to ask Judge Berlca how much it would cost to whip u certain white woman. This female , she claimed , had alienated tllu affections ot her Into white lover , und she wished to wreak vengeauco upon her. She also brought some pretty hard charges against hot rcifont lover whom she calls Dick , She says ho is n thief ana a highway robber , and only last' Satur day night he stole a pair of silk suspenders from a nice white gentleman "caller" at her re.sldcnpo. Upon learning that the Judge would charge her n good round sum for thrashing the white woman , she decided to taku u change of tact nnd swear out a war rant against Dick instead , The City Street Cleaning. At the last meeting of the board of jniblla works the hill of Fanning & Co. , for srccl sweeping , was presented , and owing to com plaints coming In from various parts of the city about the work not being thoroughly done und the dirt and sweepings being hauled away , the bill was refused , as , Jn the opinior of the hoard , the failure to complete the worl merited.

EVERY IOWA COUNTY THERE , i Republican Enthusiasm Runs Riot at the Club Convention.

Rcpubltcnn youth nml Armor. DKsMoiNus , la. , May 0. [ Special to the 3r.R.J Tlio convention of republican clubs ast week was the greatest success of Its kind .hat the stuto has known. Thcro wasn't , to login with , any very important reason for the convention , except to stir up enthusiasm , nnd get the party well organized , but there wore no candidates for lucrative or dlslln- gulshcd ofllcos to bo nominated none of the ordinary Incentives which call men together at state conventions. Consequently there vero no posses , no money provided to pay > coplcs' fares , nnd nothing but pure patriot- sin and a sincere dcslro for the party's good iO bring the republican ! ) together. But thiiy came from all over a great state. Delegates were present from the topmost tlof of coun- rios , way up against the Minnesota line , and , hnt meant n long trip and nn expensive ono. But the boys ind throe-fourths of the dolo- gotos seemed to bo under forty came full of enthusiasm , nnd wont back still moro enthu siastic. The speeches were excontlonally fine , making a feast of oratory that will not soon bo equalled. Secretary of State Jackson , , ho temporary chairman , surprised his friends jy his splendid speech on taking the chair. Ho Is ono of the young men of Iowa , and Is the youngest ofllcml In his position that the state has over had. Mr. Dolllver grows con stantly in strength and finish ns an orator , tic is not thirty years old , yet his speeches , 'or breadth , depth , finish and elegance , have 'cw equals In the country. His speech on .his occasion was a reply to nn editorial in the Now York Evening Post on the "Bour- wnism of Iowa , " referring , of course , to its ncroasing rcuubllcanlsm. It was a masterly defense of the republican party , and a keen , sarcastic , arrralgnmont of the democracy. Mr. Edward O. Woloto , of Denver , whoso speech at the New England dinner nt Now Yorklast December made him famous In nu hour , gove a very elegant and Inspiring ad dress of about half nn hour's length. Ho captured the audience by his brilliant oratory nnd polished but powerful thoughts. His re mark that any man who could point with pride to the administration of Grover Cleveland - land , would point with pride to the Missouri river , will take a permanent place among the political epigrams that are too good to die. Colonel Hepburn , always a favorite orator In Iowa , made a powerful address in his usual cleun-cut and impressive man ner. The conv6nt > on completed its work by decline state ofilcers for the league , with Secretary of State Jackson as president. Mr. Jackson is golpg to work right away upon the matter of cRito organization. Ho is going to make an effort to have 100 clubs organized In every congressional district in tlio state , era a grand total of 1'JOO clubs. With that force of disciplined tuembers Iowa ought to give ono of its old-fAshloned republican majorities this fall. VL * " It has boon leaking out for some time that the relations ot. the state auditor's ofiico to the executive odlco were somewhat strained. The governor bite an idea that ho should ex ercise a cencral smjervision over all tlio state offices , and the , gentlemen themselves who are at the head of them don't altogether like it. Somp ; f.\mo \ ago the governor concluded that o county treasurers wore in collections of taxes , and when the repri manding circular was sent to the delinquents , or to the supposed delinquents , those who did not deserve a scolding complained to him very vigorously. That put him in un embar rassing position , and so ho prepared a circu lar letter , setting forth that ho was not the author of the dunning letter , but that it came from the governor , and without his consent. That put the auditor right with the county treasurers , but didn't ' increase the cordiality which is supposed to exist between one state ofllccr and another. It certainly is to be hoped that the state Is to be spared another quarrel between governor nnd auditor. The Sherman-Brown difficulty is sunlcient for some years yet. The appointment of Mrs. Miller , a school teacher of thkeity , to bo state librarian in place of Mrs. Maxwell , who has served the state excellently for ten years past , has oc casioned n good deal of comment , and no lit tle criticism. Nothing is to bo said ngainsl Mrs. Miller personally , but she is regarded as a worthy and competent person for the position. But Mrs , Maxwell had been very efficient. She had done n great deal foi the library , had superintended its removal from the old state house to the now nnd was regarded as able to give better service to the state , by reason of her experience , than anj stranger could give. But her head went off , and she is turned adrift with no means ol support. Tt is said that Mrs. Miller's op pomtment xvas duo largely to pressure and inllucnco fiom the grand army men , sbo being ing a soldier's widow. Various Interpreta tions are put upoa the rcmovla , some infer ring that Governor Larrabeo is working for a third term and hopes by such means ns this to malto himself solid with the old soldiers. It is hardly probable that this theory is cor rcct , for the governor has repeatedly said that ho did not want another term , and was going to retire from politics at the close oi the present one.

The hollo- ' girl's have bowed in submission to the order that there shall bo no reading , no sewing , no crocheting , no drawn-work , while they are on duty. But when the order was issued forbidding them to chow gum , they felt that the time had como to strike till the last armed foe ox- pired. Conferences were hold and ca bals formed , but in the end quiet was restored and the gum was thrown out of the window. Tlio reason for the order was simple. When a subscriber calls for , say , 437S-3r , the girl with the gum would repeat : "Forty threesovontyeightthreo rings. " Then the subscriber would say it again , and again would como back the Greek word for pot-pie.

Dr. Mlllcr'a JjTOcllcnt Talk IJcforo the Press Clnl > . Dr. George L. Miller , the veteran Journa list , favored the members of the 1'rcs * club with a most able and entertaining address Sunday afternoon In their cosy rooms. His talk was mainly confined to the modern ro- iwrtor , his duties , Influence and lmi > 6rtnnco. The history of Journalism in Omaha was also outlined. The latter ho divided into two eras , the first antedating the advent of the railroads , and the second , the subsequent or true history , covering n i rlod of twenty- two years. When the speaker came hero thirty-four years ago ho found no town , cx- ce the stakes marking a prospective vil- latfo , and yet there was n paper horo. It was called the Omnhn Arrow , nnd was printed once a week In ail ofllco.ln Council Bluffs. John W. Patterson was tlio editor. H was n lively newspaper , did not pretend to present facts , but built up airy nothings out of the imagination. In 1S&5 Mr. Hobortson , of Ohio , started another newspaper horo. Both | ullti- cal parties were thus represented. At this tlmo there was no news , nnd hardly ovcm n local government. The llrst legislature was a Joke. The speaker then told how Benjamin. U. Folnom , uncle of Mrs. Grover Cleveland , drove over with a number of friends from lown to the place now known ns Tokumah , hold an election , nnd beramo thereby n f ullflodged territorial senator. Tlio leader in Journalism here at Unit time was Governor Cuining , ouo of the most brilliant men that over crossed the Missouri. Ho did all his own reporting. The rlrst dally pub lished In Omaha was the Telegraph , which appeared on the advent of the railroad period. It watt u beautiful imitation of nothing. It was puny In size nnd contained nothing but a few war dispatches. The present Herald was not nn outgrowtli of Iho Nobmskan. Tlio Herald was started by the speaker nnd Dan Carpenter In 1SIV5. Carpenter was pressman and foreman and Dr. Millar editor nnd re porter. The speaker then told of his vnguo ideas at the time of the organisms which make n nowspa | > or. As the state at that time. was in a state of absolute savagery and was an agricultural desert , not much could bo ex pected of the papers then published horo. No ono ( dividual could claim ulono the honor of making any newspaper of Omaha what it is to-day. Its development was duo to the ag gregated energies of the community. At this Juncture Dr. Miller showed n few specimens of the daily papers published hero In the six ties , nnd also some early photographs of Utnalm nt that time. On com mencing the publication of a daily newspaper the doctor said ho was unschooled In Motrt > i > ohtnn Journalism , but had ideas of his own regarding It. Ho did not bollovo in the chief wounding the pride of the reporter by the revision and slashing of ills copy , nnd nttomnting thereby to Impress upon the reporter that the news- gatherer was nothing and the chlof every thing. The reporter is the most important man on a newspaper. Ho is the most im- iwrtant mnn to a community. The editorial writer after all was oulsr a rciwrterof public thoughts. In a reporter's description of a murder , nn accident , nnd particularly his ac count of the doings of the courts , ho carries more power to sway or warp public Judgment or prejudice than an editor ever can have. First of all , a reporter should respect him self. Ho should always carry his own per sonal dignity. The reporter needed some thing besides brains. Intellect commands the world , but intelligence should bo backed by a moral senso. The reporter should bo ambitious. The speaker could give n long list of glittering names In the Journalistic world which showed what it wns to aspire. Tlio reporter should respect nis own function and recognize his own importance. They are not the serfs of an editor , but should bo on an equal footing with him. Ho did not bellevo In treating the reporter in an arbitrary man ner , in dogging him nnd making a perfect sleuth hound of him. It was said that Ben nett would dismiss a man on a whim , and would give him no chance to meet him for an explanation , as though the reporter were not his peer. This was a monstrous injus tice to ambitious and bright young men who were engaged In the most honorable calling in the world. The doclor then told of n plan ho had in tended to pursue had ho continued in the newspaper business , in which , in addition to the reporter's regular salary , ho was to be come a stockholder in the paper provided ho remained with it flvo years. Newspaper life will oot bo a perfect success until the ma terial out pf which are formed the Forbes and Stanleys of the country are treated with proper respect. Tlio underpaid newspaper man was a misused man nnd his employer had no right to underpay him. Tlio llrst con dition of mental poise and the essential ele ment of mental strength to form perfect Judgments is health. It is essential to all leaders and eminently so to Journalists. The alcohol appetite ) has been the great stumbling block of many brilliant newspaper men. Alcohol is not a stimulant but n sedntivo. It never prolonged a man's lifo n moment. Taken to excess it is worse than insanity or death and is incurable. It bus wrecked myriads of homes nnd tlio loft iest ambitious. The members ot the rcpqr- torial stall are a laborious , bravo , chivairic , Just , social , warm-hearted lot of young men. The temptation to indulge in the intoxicat ing cup is strongly brought to bear upon them. But it is bust not to drink at all , as the great proportion of men can not drink moderately. The reporter who Is a total ab stainer , with an honorable ambition will win moro than the man devoted to the cups. The man who can't be trusted on account of bad habits luis no place on a newspaper. Many reporters uspiro to become editorial writers , and wonder if their reportorial worl : fits them for such a position. Not only have many distinguished Journalists commenced as reporters , but men eminent in other lines have como from the same r.inks. Melville \V. Fuller , just appointed chlof Justice of the United States , was once a reporter. With the exception of teacher's work there Is no umpioymcnt BO educating as that of the reporter. _ AVIiat n AVomnu Never Admits. That she is in love. That ttho over llirted. That she laces tight.

[ Special Telegram to Tirn HER. ] There was a remarkably dull opening to the grain markets this morning , with an unusual saarclty of material gathered over Sunday out of which to nroiwo either bull or bear enthusiasm. Cables were lower , both public nnd private , and the feeling of the local clement seemed to bo bearish ; at least , there was an expectation of a small decline because of the nbscnco of any stimulating news or circumstance. Hutchlnson was the , principal seller. Tlicro was good enough ' buying , however , to prevent any considerable ' decline , nnd the market hold bolwoon } fe limils for an hour or moro. Then upon Indi cations for a larger decrease In the visible supply than was expected , there followed a quick advance of about Jtfc , to which another KC was added Just before the close by the buying of early short-1 sellers , probably stimulated n lltllo by news of an unfavorable naluro about the health of the emperor of Germany. The actual decrcaso In the visible supply of wheat was 1,140,000 bushels , where only from half to three quarters of n million had been expected. Much of the lake shipments made early In the week must have gone to points outside of the visible supply statement for consumption. It wns noticed that at only four points embraced In the visible supply statement was there any Increase In wheat , These points were Buffalo , Duluth , Montreal and Oswego. The ( imount "on the lakes" Increased - creased 1,043,000 bushels , and "on the Missis sippi" Increased 10,000 bushels. Chicago's stock of wheat In store and ailoat decreased 534,0(19 ( bushels. Exports of wtioat were too small to speak of , but receipts at Duluth and Minneapolis show a largo fall ing-ore as compared with provl- ' ous Mondays. Tlio crop reports received to-day were only Important as con- finning previous reports of damage. Tlio secretary of the Missouri board of agricul ture repeats his cstimalo of a 14,000,000 bushel crop for that stutc as compared with 87,500,000 last year. The government "crop report , howevdr , is so near duo that traders are more Inclined to wait for It than to pay much attention lo Iho reports from slnglo slnlos or districts.

Speculative trading in corn was comparat ively light and without special feature. Some of tlio longs wore selling early in the ses sion , and this with a largo incrcaso in the visible supply , caused some decline soon after the opening , but this was all recovered later. Receipts wore larger than expected , but the estimate for to-morrow was unex pectedly small , and this fact , together with the strength shown In wheat , socmcd to ac count for the later firmness of this market. Juno and July corn were the sumo price. They opened ut B3Jfe , sold down to 55c , up to 55Jfo ( again , fluctuated between 55Uf and 55J c , and closed nt 1 o'clock at 65J @L5jtfc.
