KANSAS CITY, Jnn, 15.-(8peclal Tele
gram.) The meeting of Western league
bnsu ball magnates wblcli came to a suddeli
oikI today accomplished probably the leant
business of any similar meeting ever held
In tho lilntory .of the national game, Tho
"business" constated of taking tho Denver
franchise from V. A. Ilcall and awarding
It to I). 0. Packard. The circuit question
U Atlll In a nebulous iitiito nnd from prck
cut Indications tho league will bo weak
ened tatber than strengthened by tbe towns
thai will bo taken In to nil the vacancies
In case tho organization docs not tall of Its
own weight.
It woh oxpoctcd that Indianapolis, Mil
waukee, LoiiUvlllo ''Hnd possibly St. Paul
would send reprr.cntntlvt't hero to make
application for membership In the league.
but noun of them wns represented except
Milwaukee, and tho Urewers' town only by
a proxy.
Tommy Dowel wold ho would like to have
tho franchise there, but his request was
paused up and a rominl(toe was appointed
to try to Induco Milwaukee capitalists to
back a team In their town. It Is conceded
that tho other towns mentioned nro out of
tho pomlblllty column, and even If Mil
wiuikmi should conic In, tho Western league
wouldh have a fight on Its hands there and
In Kansas City und Oiniiha, the only three
respectable huso ball towns 111 the probable
circuit.
KniimiH 'Ity .liny Withdraw.
It U not at nil sure that Kansas City will
Do represented In tho Western, as It Is he
llovcd by many hero that Munnlng Is bluff
ing nbout building a new park In a remoto
corner of tho town to frighten tho Ameri
can aeuoclntlou. As far as could bo learned
from tho magnates only ono player has
been signed by tho eutlro Western league.
Ho Is n former local amateur named Mc
uonnoll. Ho will bo with Denver. llourke
of Omaha soya Kd Illckey, formorly of In
dlanapolls, had ucccplcd his terms. Man
nlng says ho Is going to "wait until tho
big leagues begin to cast off" beforo he
tries for a local team.
Tho magnates held two sessions today
and decided to meet In Denver at the
tho call of tho president to dccldo a sched
ulo. In tho mcantlnio tho circuit commit
ter will visit Peoria, Dos Moines, Sioux
City nnd Mllwaukeo and try to find local
capitalists who wll back teams In ouo or
moro of those towns. There l no disguis
ing tho fact that tho magnates were (lis
appointed In tho representation at the
meeting, and tho fact, that only cities llko
Poorla nnd Sioux City mado applications
for 'franchises had a depressing effect thai
call of tho prcoldent to decldo a sched-
was notable when tho magnates took the
evening trains for home.

nnd New York have s(rpnc 'roots and do
not make many plants. Mr. Stevenson
considers tho Samplo as an Ideal variety
and the Senator Duntap a popular variety
from New York. He said tho Up-to-Date
hns been greatly recommended, tbe Sea
forth was tender and suffored from beat
and drouth and tho Jerry Kusk was not
satisfactory.
Ho claimed that tho New York was a
largo berry, with only a small amount of
runners, recommended planting Johnson s
Early and said the Giant was ono of our
very best varieties, being very large: the
Gundy, is one of the latest, but not suf
ficiently productive. With him Parker Earl
sets very fairly when It la planted wbero
It can bo Irrigated, and suggests at n re
liable list of varlotlcs tho Bismarck, Golden
Queen, Tennessee Prolific, Wolverton, Enor
mous, Mount Vrnon, Leavltt, Princess,
Saunders and Splendid.
Ilmt Methods of Culture.
Mr. Stevenson's method of cultivation Is
tho use of the weeder and has found great
benefit from Irrigation. Ho first usod horse
power with bucket elevator, raising 6,000
gallons per hour. Later he used a gasollno
engine pumping 100,000 gallons per day.
After new growth starts la tho spring
ho sprays with Bordeaux mixture and Paris
green boforo plants bloom, and when dow
Is on sifts on lime, which bos been slacked
with strong lye water or with Dordcaux
mixture. If no fruit Is In tho way bo adds
parts green and flour and the llmedust,
provided thcro nro any Insects to bo de
stroyed. Llnio also seems to bo beneficial
to plants, ns It prevents rust.
How Trees Came to Nebraska.
Dr. Dessey presented a paper on how
trees came to Nebraska nnd said that by
the Influence of the wind many seeds are
moved; other seeds are carrlred on the
water. Tho original apples were not mado
for man and the flesh of tho npplo was the
bait that should tempt to bavo tho apple
eaten and thus be carried to new points
for growth: the pawpaw, with Its edlblo
fruit, Is distributed by small animals, and
the seed of the hackberry by tho btrds,
tho seeds of the ash and the elm drift
wdth tho wind, tho Juneborry and tho wild
cherry are distributed by the birds, tho

trees mentioned In this paper, eleven are
distributed by tho birds, five by birds and
small animals, twenty-three by squirrels,
and small animals and twenty-six by the
wind. Anions the fow trees that can be
started In the dry prarle aod, the doctor
mentioned the bull pine, which succeeded
in grassy land without cultivation and
that more varieties of trees aro found In
southeartern 'Nebraska, Indicating that they
come Into the state from that direction.
Dr. DcsBoy read letters from close observers
elsewhere, showing tho movement of troes
and plants la steadily going .forward

Those officers were next elected: Presi
dent, L. M. Kussell: first vtco president,
O. 8. Christie of Johnson; second vice pres
ident, J, J, Hess of Omaha; secretary, C.
II. llalnard; treasurer, P. Younger; di
rectors, O. A. Marshall, W. J. Hcsscr, E.
F. Stophcns.
Tho president, Mr. G. A. Marshall, pre
pared n paper on "How Shall tho Planter
Know Best What to Plant?" Ho reviewed
the experiences of the planters during Uho
early porloda and In other locations, and
mentioned tbe work of Peter Gideon, who
asserted that bo would extend tho apple
belt 200 or 300 miles farther north, and
who did succeed In extending It 250 miles.
He mentioned the work of Mr. S, O. Patten
of Charles City, 'la., who In hlo life study
of cross-pollcnatlon and tho development
of new and hardy varieties, had done much
to move the apple belt north. He said that
the planter should seek varieties that wilt
withstand dry weather, bright sunshlno and
sudden changes, and If tho planter desires
to work northwest, ho should combine with
these tho ability to withstand undue cold.
Mr. Marshall stated that tho Intending
planter should bo acquainted with what Is
already growing In his own locality, se
lecting varieties that are succeeding, should
the planter be locatod far from orchards
and woll-tested varieties; then ho should
sock varieties growing under similar con
ditions and the native fruits should bo
studied everywhere, with tho thought of
developing something of value.
During tho afternoon session Mr. J. II
Hadklnson presented a report of tho work
of tho society and stato at tho Pan-American
exposition, and an account of the pre
miums awarded and the rules governing
tho awards.
Morton Hpeaka on Arbor Dny.
Hon. J. Sterling Morton presented a pa
per on tho origin of Arbor day and Its re
sults. On January 4, 1872, Mr. Morton
Introduced In tho State Board of Agrlcul
turo a resolution for tho assignment of
Arbor day, Hon. n. W. Furnas set, by
resolution, April 10. Four premiums wera
offered for tho greatest number of troes
planted on that day. The premiums
amounted to between $100 and $200. lie
turns of tho competition showed 3,000,000
trees planted. The speaker thought that
by this tlmo 25,000,000,000 had been planted
It Is now celebrated in every stato In tho
union, In foreign countries, and even In
tho Islands of tho tea. Mr. Morton then
read a paper at the request of the super
Intendcut of schools In New Jersey.
Mr. J. H. Mcintosh mentioned the debt
due Hon. Mr. Morton for his lnfluonee,
when a cabinet official, In setting apart a
forest reserve
(irnvrtli of White l'lncn 1'lnntod.
President Marshall told how tho 10,000
white pines planted by Mr. Morton wero
succeeding. They wore planted 4x4 and
now aro threo to five Inches In diameter
and twclvo to flttocn feet In height. Pres
ident Marshall also mentioned white plno
trees In tho river counties forty-flvo to
fifty feet In height. Mr. Isaac Pollard of
Nehawka had had his best success with
tho Austrian pine. His location Is eight
miles from tho Missouri river. Mr. Bctzcr
of Holt county planted Scotch and Austrian
pines, and had them do well In his county.
Mr. Morton called nttentlon to the very
largo loss arising from planting evergreens
whtch had not been properly packed, In
which the resinous sap had already
hardened.
P. J. O'Gara, a student of tho Stato uni
versity, presented a carefully prepared
paper on some of the diseases of tho fruit
trees. He mentioned a fungus disease aris
ing from mechanical Injury; also' heart, rot
and root rot.

came Into the state from tbe southeast.
From tho Rocky mountain region wo have
bull pine, western red cedar and four
species of cottonwood. The buffalo berry
has crossed tho state to (he Missouri river
and is found near Peru. In explaining the
natural mbvemcnts and growth of trees,
tho doctor mentioned that while man was
Impatient of results, and 100 years was a
long time with nature, the movement of
seeds a short dlstanco each season In 1,000
years moved them a long distance.
Ncbrnaka'a. Natural Advantages.
Theodoro Williams of Benson, Neb., who
has a world-wide reputation -as an experi
mentalist, gavo some advanced thoughts on
plum culture. He discussed his experience
In the development of moro than 60,000 va
rieties and gave tome of tho results of
many years spent In testing- everything
which could be obtained from other sources,
and propagating varieties by crosses and
pollenatlon, This gentleman .has already
fruited more than 3,000 varieties of apples.
Ho regards Nebraska as ona of the very
best states In tho union for the growing of
fruit, that Is, it has tbe greatest natural
advantages. In the development and move
ment of a number of varieties of plums
thero were apparently few which had auch
valuo aa mado them worth the reproduc
tion. Ho found he was able to grow plums
In largo quantities near Omaha, but from
lack of a paying market be did not believe
that ituch money could ever be mado out
of commercial plum growing.
Among the varieties developed by bis
work was one called combination of the
"Americana" .habit. Ho mentioned the
Lakeside plum, the Wayland, tbe Brittle-
wood, the Bcrwood and the Victoria. In
six generations ho had bred plums like the
fixed yellow typo by hybrldltlng the plums
of yellow type. He had found It possible
to breed alie, color, quality,, productiveness
and hardihood.
Tho laws that govern animal breeding ap
ply to tho development of the tree fruits.
It Is possible to produce any desired result
and to fix the type. The Americana plum
Is naturally adapted to Nebraska. For tbe
best results In pollenatlon he thought that
plum trees at the distance of twenty feet
were ton far apart.
If the two varieties could be In the sante
tree it would be better. and during many
unfavorable springs the question of a crop
or no crop was one of pollenatlon. Mr.
Williams had brought with him many sam
ples of plutus, and also samples of his
methods of grafting. Many very Interest
ing sections of trees were displayed, show
ing the behavior of irces under various
conditions ot propagation. To give an In
creased site to a variety, graft It on a trci
growing stock and feed It wel.
Work Couiuureil vtlth California Man
In considering the value ot Mr. Williams
work In developing varieties In the northern
parts ot Nebraska, and comparing his work
with that of Luther Burbank ot California
It must bo remembered that Mr. Burbank
does his work In a mild climate, where all
his productions are hardy enough for the
climate In which they are produced. The
work of Mr. Williams, 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, apd thus the sur
vlvors are better fitted to stand the ex
tremely trying climate,

The Distinctive Value
of Syrup of Figs is duo to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every
objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and truly
as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The
requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its
production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand
for u laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its
effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a
naturally healthy condition and which docs not weaken them.
To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the
medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup
of Figs possesses this great advantage overall other remedies, that it docs not
weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con
dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its' many
excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a
laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid,
or the robust man.
Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles
of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the
juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system,
when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not
only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of
manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is
therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note
the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front
of every package.

Dr. Henry C. Mlnton, modorator of tho
Presbyterian general assembly, spoko to a
goodly audlcnco at tho First Proaby-
tcrlnn church .nst night on tho general
topic ot Presbyterian educational Institu
tions. He was Introduced by Dr. Lowrey,
president ot the Omaha Theological soml-narv.
In his opening remarks Dr. Mlnton de
fined Prcsbytorlanlsm and Its position
among tho religious bodies of tbo world.
Coming to tho topic of education, bo said:
"I believe that Amorlcans have gone uni
versity mad. Tbo state university, sup
ported by public funds, has completely
changed tho problem of education In the
laat twenty-five years. I am not going to
say anything against the university, but I
am going to say something In favor of tho
college, I do not believe that tbo old
fashioned college Is passe In the early dayt
of tbo twentloth century. I believe in the
old colleges ns against tho university. Tho
educational horesy of our times Is the sub
stitution of the university for the college.
Tho college dovolops tho best there It In
the man, tbon ho may go to his technical
school In tho university.
"Any boy who gets an education solely to
mako money prostitutes education. I'lrst
educnto tho man, then lot him specialize.
"Do you know there has been a stoady
decllno In tho number of candidates for tho
ministry? I think that ono of the causes of
this Is tho state university. I know of a
university that sends out 100 graduates each
year, but not six ministers In six years.
Hducntlon Without IlellKlon.
'Tho secular education Is notoriously un-
religious, which may bo termed by many
Irreligious. If tho American people are to
adopt a systom of education which Is to
turn Its back upon tno uoa 01 me riigrim
nnd the Puritan, the American cltlzon can
begin to tremble for this Hod-tiiessoa coun
try. If wo aro to train our pupiiB in me
schools to turn their backs upon tho Lord's
prayer, then I submit that tno best tnmg
wo can do Is to turn our attention to our
Christian schools.
"Tho university for Investigation and re
source, tho college for Instruction. We
need Christian education. If our system
Is to omit tho training of tho moral and
tho spiritual, thon It will turn out rascals
and traitors. Tho man who took tho high-,
est honors at Princeton was Aaron Ilurr.

"I have heard It said that one-sixth of

our wealth will blister our hearts If It It
not used for good. Wo are a vory liberal

Charles M. Schwab's alleged denial of his
eonsatlonal play excites astonishment here,
as it undoubtedly created moro ot a aensa-
tlon at tha casino than any event In ten
years. Yesterday he won 13,900 twice run
ning, having staked tho maximum on both
coups. That waa as distinctly sensational
as was his play on every day since he came
hero. His entire Indifference to large
losses or gains attracts attention. The
World correspondent holds to everything ho
has cabled on tbo subject of Schwab's
gambling. Schwab, Ephrussl and tho Bar
ton-Cohens syndicate, at well at Itosalyn,
havo all loBt heavily, despite their occa
sional hauls.
while' tho college Is to badly crowded that
the demand Is Immediate. "It It by such
struggles ts this that Christian colleges
pro bullded," he said. "Take that college
Into your care, make It the classic school
of this territory. And tho seminary. The
seminary was started by professors without
pay, without a dollar In Its treasury. It
has sent out over sixty persona and has
$70,000 on hand, secured In an honbrablo
way. Wo aro building for tho futuro, for
tho great empire that It yet to be. We
aro building a theological seminary for the
day when Omaha's 100,000 will bo doubled
over and over again."
