Mickey Is very likely to lose his official scalp here today, or at least action Is very probabl that will result In separating him from hi pay os president of tho Western league. President Mickey and George Tebeau owner of tho Kansas City franchise, are here, but refuso to talk to anyone but owner W. T. Van Drunt and owner Ilourke of the Oma n franchise and the repretentatlves of thrco' other franchises. Mr. Van Jlrunt as the spokesman for the other magnates vig orously urged Mr. Mickey to at once drop his greater league plans or at onco vacate the presidency. Mr. Van Ilrunt told hlra that tho Western league would continue regardless of whether Mr. Mickey was a salaried ofllcur with It or not. Ooorgo Tebeau, who Is the confidant of Mr. Mickey, registered under An assumed name, when he arrived last night. Mr. Tebeau told Mr. Van Irrunt that most of the Western league towns could drop Into a minor league nnd make Just as much money ns they have ever made. Mis nigument was pronounced too rllly for consideration by tho other mag nates of the Western league, Tebeau has been Invited to eliminate himself and the president from the league and give some ' other good city opportunity to get In. The KvprrliMl I'lniilly llntuirnril. Tho revolt In the Western Base nail 'league Is ovor, nn agreement having been practically reached today between Presi dent Mickey, V. T. Van tlrunt and Oeorge TeDeau. President Mickey will resign nt the annual meeting to be held next week ejthcr In this city. Kansas City or Omaha, nnd his sucenssor will be elected. V. T. Van Ilrunt, owner of tho St. Joseph franchise, will glvo up the franchise, since St. Joseph Is to bo played In the minor league. He said today that he would not take a step backward. At the ennferenfp held hv the three men today It was understood that Tebeau Is to go with tho Denver tenm. Ho said ho would sign a pledgo not to employ a Kan. Ban City player. President Hlckey gavo out the following signed statement, after the conferenco with Vnn Brunt: IllrUcjV .Sliitriiirnt. I "After tho close of tho season of 1901 thero was a general demand by the base ball pcoplo of certain cities without a club for mo to take tho Initiative in forming a league that would be n good business propo sltlon for tho Individual cities as well as a chanco to better nnd advance my own con dition, which is ccrtslnly human nnd n right that I hnve nnd which no ono can criticise. With that end In view. I started to work, nnd the result was that a circuit has been formed comprising Minneapolis, St. Paul. Kansas City nnd Omnha In the west, nnd Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Colum bus and Toledo In the east. While we aro already organized. I have called another meeting for Novembor 29, nt which time wc will close up some minor details. Thla new orgnnlzntlon must not be confused with the Western league, ns It Is a distinct nrganlz.r tlon entirely. Tho meeting of the Western league will be held noxt week, at which time the business of last season will be closed up and my successor elected." Will Orlnlnly llroluii. President Hlckey raid he would certainly resign ns president of tbo Western league next week, but refused to say whtro tho meeting will be held. As far as he knows nnd as far ns can be learned hero today that Is the end of the revolt. Owner Van Bnint, who headed the revolt snld he would not stand In tho way of Pros ident Illnkey's advancement, but. seeing no opportunity to gel St, .loreph Into the Inrgor league, snld he would have nothing inoro to do with base ball. The new Western league ns planned now Is to comprise Denver. St Joseph, Colorado Springs. Sioux City. lies Moines and probably Lincoln, although the deal has not been close 1 there. As to dis satisfaction tmong tho other magnates In the Western league Owner Van Brunt has nothing to say. He. has given up nnd that Is the end of the revolt It Is bellevod here. LINCOLN, Nov. 2fi. (Special Telegram.'i It will not be definitely known whether or not Lincoln Is to get a base ball fran chise until the Westorn leag'io magnates meet In Kansas City next week.

Sore3 and Ulcers never become chronic unless tho blood is in poor condition is sluggish, weak and unable to throw off the poisons that accumulate in it. The system must be relieved of the unhealthy matter through the core, and great danger to life would follow should it heal before the blood has been made pure and healthy and all impurities eliminated from the sys tem. S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleans ing and invigorating the blood, building up the general health and removing from n Tim1 a CONSTANT DRAIN 3hS&. "PON THE SYSTEM. When this has been accomplished the dis charge gradually ceases, and the core or ulcer heals. It is the tendency of these old indolent sores to grow worse and worse, and eventually to destroy the bones. Local applications, while soothing and to some extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the scat of the trouble. S. S. S. does, and no matter ihow apparently hopelew your condition, 'even though your constitution has broken down, it will bring relief when nothing 'else can.

The fact was brought out In the trial of Mrs. Kola Ida Donlne for the killing of Jamc3 Seymour Ayres, Jr., today that ehe had made a pri vate confession of hor part in the tragedy on the evening after the homicide, several days before she took the police officials Into her conlldencr. This recital was made to George D. Gardner, nn attorney employed In the law division of the Interior depart ment, who was a boarder nt the Kenmoro hotel and usually sat at the same table at which Mrs. Donlne took her meals. .Mr. Oardner was on tho witness stand to day and told hie story for the first tlmo. lie said Mrs. Donlne had sought him out and asked his advice ns to whether alio should make a public statement and ho sug gested to her tbat she should delay her confession until the theory of ettlclde, which was first entertained, should be fully ex ploited. Mistreated by Ayre. Other witnesses wero heard during the day, several of them being men who had taken Ayres out to neighboring saloons dur ing the evening of May II and ono of whom had taken him to his room after midnight, about two hours before he met his death. The witness who took Ayrra to his room wns n young man named Hums, who snld that when he left Ayres tho latter was per fectly sober. These witnessed generally agreed that Ayres had taken about two glasses of beer and that he wah not under the Influence of liquor. Durnn said that on one occasion he had seen Ayres treat Mrs. Ilonlno contemptuously. Ho snld she had nursed him (Hums) when he wns HI and had visited his room both day and night. Other wltnowcs testified that Mrs. Donlne had vlfllted them when HI. Mornur Keeper TeMtlfle. Tho first witness of the day was William Schoenbergcr, keeper of the morgue. He testified to having tnken charge of Ayres' body at Iho Kenmoro ho tel and to taking It to tho morgue on the morning of May 1? last, under the direction of the coroner. He had also, ho said, been present nt thu autopsy and had photographs showing the location of the wounds In tho body. The films wore introduced as evidence and exhibited to tho Jury. Mrs. Donlne gave ono linsty look at the pictures as they were held by one of tho attorneys, but sho quickly turned her head and gave them no further attention. Sho engaged In conversation with Attorney Fulton most of tho time while this testi mony wns being given. The witness said thero were powder marks on tho brenst and arm wounds, but none on tho thigh wound. Under the arm there was a burn Describing the condition of the corpse when he found It, Mr. Schoenbergcr said tho arms were drawn up In front of the face "In order that the stenographer may de scribe, the posture-," said Mr. Gould, "I sup pose there will be no objection to his not ing that the attitude was ono of defense?" "We do object most decidedly,'' responded Mr. Douglass. Tho court alleged that the description would be Improper and It was decided (hat he should say that the arras were placed as If shielding the face. On cross-examination the witness (.aid that when he entered the room whero the killing occurred he saw sovcral empty car trldgo shells In the slop Jar and had also seen more shells and cartridges on thj trunk and on the washstand. Gardner Tell of Conf raalnti. The next witness was Mr. George n. Gardner, an attorney In the Interior de partmtnt, who, with his family, occupied rooms under the suite occupied by the Bonlnes, In the Kenmore hotel. Ills tcstl mony wan new. The fact was brought out that Mrs. Donlno had made her first con fession to him. This confession had. tho witness said, been made on the evening of May 15, the day of the tragedy. He wns followed to his room by Mrs. Honlne. "She stated to me," ho said, "that she knew more about tho death of Ayres than bad been given to the public. T think she hesitated a moment and cither my manner or something I said Induced her to go on and she said she wns present when it hnp penod nnd told me that she had came to mo because sho wanted my advice. She told rae that on the morning of Ayres' death he came to her rcom and -knocked on her door and cnmnlalned of being 111 and -asked If she could not do something for him: that when she got Into Ayres' room ho had ns saulted her and had a pistol In his band, and in tho scuffle which ensued he wn killed." "Did she describe tho struggle that took place?" asked the district attorney. Tho witness stated that sho said nothing more than that when the struggle followed the assault the pistol wns fired. Thn wit ness stated that she did not tell him In whose hands the pistol was. but. later cor rected himself hy saying that ho believed she said the weapon wan In Ayres' hands .yrr In Liquor. "She also told me that Ayres was under tho Influence of liquor at the time of tho shooting," said Mr. Gardner. The witness also said that the woman had spoken again to him on the noxt day, or the second day- after the tragedy. She sat at the same ta oie wun mm , in ma dining roopj and she, again sought to' talk with him concerning tho tragedy. "She aald,' Mr. Oardner testified, "that she was feel Ing badly and that nothing was sustaining her except the. consciousness of hor Inno cence. She added that she could not get It, out and asked me It she had better destroy' It. Dy lt' I understood her to mean that she referred to one of hor garments, but I did not know what. I told her to destroy nothing, ns she had not decided upon a public confession. On cross-examination Mr. Gardner testl fled that be would not exactly say Mrs. Uonino was excited. Her manner was tense. She bad1 asked his advice as to tho advisability of making n public statement and he had advised her to remain quiet until It was determined whether the suicide theory would bold good. Jamca Durns, who was Ayres' Intimate friend and who had accompanied him to his room the night of the tragedy, was next called. He said that on the night of the tragedy Ayres had gone wHth him and others to two or three saloons around the corner, where he said Ayres had drank sparingly. He had then, at about 12:30 o'clock, accompanied Ayres to his room leaving him In a perfectly sober condition The witness raid that whllo originally Ayres and Mrs. Donlne hnd been on friendly terms, these relations became strained and on the occasion of the Monday dance before the killing when sho had approached Ayres with a carnation, he had treated her with contempt. Mrs. Donlne told him, ho said that she had reproved Ayres for drinking He dldn l I'now of Ayres having a pistol Afrnld She MikIiT Trll llliu, On cross-examination Durns said tha Mrs, Donlne bad taught Ayres to dance and BJSEx AVEDyESDAY, "NOVEMBER -7. 11101. had also taught him (the. witness), tho two step. H also said that before starting out with Ayres at 10:30 o'clock he, himself, hnd had six or seven drinks but that ho wns not intoxicated. Ho said that he hnd not spent more than two minutes In Ayres' room when ho accompanied hlni up and that he had hnd no confidential conversation with him. "I do not know that I could have had a confidential talk," he said. "There might have been somo ono under the bed, but I do not know that there was." Durns said on the night succeeding the tragedy he had not remained In his room in tho hotel. Asked why he kept away, he eald: "As Mrs. Donlno knew tbnt Jimmy Ayres and myself were friends I did not know but that she might think Ayres had told me. enough to convict hrr. I did not propose to take any chances." "Afraid?" asked counsel for the defense. "Yes, and the next night, too." In reply to further questions by Mr. Douglae, Hums snld that Mrs. Donlne had nursed him through a serious Illness, com ing to his room day nnd night, both alone and with others, and also that he had told persons since the (ragedy that he never had heard Ayres talk as though ho had been Intimate with Mrs. Donlne. At this point the court took a recess for luncheon. DouKlnx Aka Alunit the I'Utnl, After recess, Mr. Douglas continued his cross-examination of' Mr. Durns. Mr. Douglas sought by his questions to show hat Hums knew that Ayres owned a pistol, He asked the witness If he hnd not ad vanced tho theory In a letter to a friend lu Mlchlgnn that Ayres had taken tho weapon found In his room from his old trunk. The witness said that he had writ ten a letter expressing the opinion that If Ayres had a pistol nt all he had tnken It from his trunk nnd laid it nn the dresser. lie nlso hnd expressed the opin ion In that letter that there had been a struggle In tho room. Michael Itognii, who said he had been a police Judge In New York, nnd who was one of the party with young Ayres the night of bis death, woa the next witness. Ho said that he lived At the Kenmore. The boys hnd, he said, naked him to "pronounco the nlciilctory," as Ayres was to leave the hotel the next day. He had spoken "quite n little piece Just to Jolly Ayres." and then the pnrty left for the snloon around the corner, returning about 12 o'clock. Ho snld that when Ayres returned he was perfectly sober. Trll of n Mtilit Out Mr. Hogan said that on one occasion Mrs. Donlno hnd spoken o him (the witness) when Ayres was present about giving n cuchro party, hut Ayres had not xpoken to her nor she to him. Joseph C. McCabc. anntHer Inmate of the Kenmore, testified to seeing Ayres In n saloon nt 11 o'clock the night of the tragedy, when he went In with the party from tho Kenmore. At that tlmo the young man was perfectly sober. He saw him drink two glasses of beer. Arthur H McCiibbln, who wns a mem ber of the Ayres farewell party on Its rounds nn the night of the homicide, wns next tailed. He also said thot Ayres was sober when he returned to the hotel about 12:30 o'clock. John K. Downs, who occupied n room on tho fourth floor of the Kenmore nt the time of the tragedy, snld that ho had seen Mrs. Donlne the morning nftcr flic killing. She did not seem In nny way more excited than other boarders. James K. Ford, a fellow-clerk of Ayres at the census office, and a friend of his who did tot at tho time of the tragedy live at thn Kenmore, testified to visiting Ayres' room the morning after the killing. There were then qur ,or five women standing near the i.ootji ln,Uie corridor,, among them being Mm. Bonfne. He spoke to her, es pecially nekln'g Vcr If she had danced with Ayres the evening before the killing, and she had replied 'that they had danced to gether. The next day she had expressed her regret over Ayres' death and her as tonlshmeut that In view of tho fart that he had no enemies he should have been killed. Her demeanor wns not different from that of other women guests of tho hotel. On cross-examination Mr. Ford snld that he had fltst met Mrs. Donlne while he was a patient at a local hospital.
