The People's Mammoth Installment House , during the past week , was packed from early till late "by one solid , mass of people. Tlio announcement that they
were In trouble , clue to heavy overstocking , was the means of bringing thousands from far and near , to this now well renowned establishment. What seemed u
crisis ten days ago , is to-day a boom for this popular firm , as every doll-ar's worth of goods packed in their store -warehouses is worth to-day , aceorcling to mar
ket value. 2O per cent more than a few weeks ago , this being entirely due to the passage of the McKinley bill. Prices are rapidly advancing , Every furniture , car
pet and stove dealer in Omaha has already been notified "by manufacturers of heavy advances , and they have consequently eidvancecl the selling price. Our prijcs
for the corning week will be tlie same as last , in order to allow hundreds of railroad employes and others who v/ere delayed" in receiving their pay this month to
benefit by our "Quarter of a Million Compulsory Sale. " All prices will be guaranteed the same as advertised until Saturday , Oct 18th , but no longer. Those con

October Is the sportsman's month and in
Ncbr.isltanndtho west the season lias opened
most auspiciously. The early frost and the
subsequent hcwy , cold uins have stripped
the trees of the biudon of their foliage , nnd
shooting conditions are in their prireo. Quail
are reported In abundance- and the sportsmen
oarlv in the field are promised a rich harvest.
The mild winter last year vas favorable to
the prolific breeding of these blids , and the
stubble fields la the shooting districts swarm
with them.
1'ialrio chickens are reported plentiful out

Even Uncle DIclc McCoimicl ; , prcsldcntof
the Western association , has a slight touch of
brotherhood finer , nnd in a tali * yesterday
oxpiossed his opinion that the \\rcekcrs had
the hip hold Just at present , nnd that the out
look for the national Icaguo was a little
gloomy. Ho said that matters would un
doubtedly bo comproinls ed ana that the league
and brotherhood would either consolidate or
else dlvlilo tenltory. There must bo no moio
baseball wars , ho saj * , as neither thol'lajers

The Bloomy weather of the past few days
nnd unicalUed dreams of prolits in the bas'o-
ball business have had a sadly deniosslng
effect upon the president of the western as
sociation.
lie need not waste nny sympathy on tlio
loaRue , as that organization Is a itccidcdlv
healthy oao and not yet ready to bo consla-
crcd an object of commiseration. Ho should
remember thntall the cries for"eomproinlso"
and "thero must \ > o but ono club in each city"
and all that kind ot stuft como solely from
Brotherhood magnates. The Brotherhood
made possible the piesent demoralized condi
tion of the national game , and the only propci
thing for It to do Is to get out ot the way ani
lea\o tlio National league at the header the
procession.
The brotherhood made war upon the men
who hud built up b.isoball into a profitable
business , and the ending ot the war U iu the
hands of Its originator.

President MtCormlcU of the Western usso
elation says ho probably knows less about
nsoball just now than any man on earth and
Us Brotherhood talk , quoted elsewhere , is
convincing1 proof that his statement Is cor

Ho siys that the Omahas made $0,010 in
SS'.I , principally Ijy the sale of its players ,
nnd that in the past season they lost n rea
son's earnings and another ? l,000. Om.iha
will Invo a team in the ileld nc\t yeir , ho
s iys , but none of the plier's have been
Ms'iicd j et except Willis ami that the plans
nro very iiidclhilte. 'Iho annunl moGting of
.he association will bo held in this city Octo-
jer J , and no plans for next season "will bo
wade until after that meeting.
It is pretty well understood , ' however , that
radical changes u 111 bo made in the local team
'or next jear. None of tno phyers have
jeen sold nnd with the present demorali/ed
condition of the game pluyers will not bo in
jieat demand for some months yet
It has been practically settled , however ,
; iiat Manager Leonard will not bo with
Omahi next year , but that ono of the players
win imnaso uio team.
The association will bo inado xip practically
is itus iittlio close of the season although
Milwaultco his the American association boo
in her bonnet , but , will probably get rid of it.
In n , iccent interview Manager Cushnmn
said : "If wo ttiought wo would get the
shabby treatment next year thnt wo have
had this wo would leave it in a holy inmuto.
Iho clubs have been doiii" ; just as they
pleased nnd have transforied unnes right

"Tho association needs a general ovcinaul-
Ing , anil if I didn't thlnlc it would got Hat the
November meeting Milwaukee Mould prob
ably bo in some other organization. But in
all probability will stick , and the s.uno
team , with fair umpiring and no transferring

When the Minneapolis club plajed its first
set ics hero admirers of the ijamosaw that it
was the club that would most likely kill
Kansas City's pennant aspirations ; It was
the ono to bo most foirod. When Morton's
tioublo with M.vers , Foster , Hoiiplo and Hud
son came and that quaitotto of star players
left the team cranks In this town breathed
u sifih of icllof. Had they been retained it is
exceedingly doubtful if the Blues with nil
thelrwoiidcrfulworkslncothen would ha\o
been first lit the end of the season. It was a
bad mlstaKO for Morton , from u Minneapolis
standpoint , for the loss of thct > o players
greatly weakened ttio team , nnd It assisted

present position ,

The Brotherhood magnates have been
watching the work of Western association
players all season , says the Kansas City
Times , and now that the teams are nbout to
disband for the jear they have been sending
out missionaries to lasso the stits tliatill
add strength to their organization , Klnicr
Smith's phenomenal success with the Blues
had not escaped their notice , nnd ho was ono
of the Western association luminaries that
they most desired. When the team was In
Milwaukee , Otto Floto , onto a roprescntatho
of Parson Davis , the noted promoter

1'laycrs1 league In a business capacity , went
there to sign Klracr for the brotherhood ,
and after hobnobbing around with the popu
lar plajer went back to Chlingo empty

missionary appeared In Kansas City , urn
after spending the day with "Smithy" in a
valncndca\or to win him over , returned to
Chicago , Yesterday Manager Manning
thought it time to shut out all cbancoof los
Ingbmtthnnd , after a snort talk the latter
grasped a pun lu his good left laud and the
deed was done. The brotb-rhood was hot
