    fENATE ORGANIZES TO TRY
JUDGE SWAYNE OF FLORIDA.
8UMMONED TO APPEAR FRIDAY
Platt f Connecticut Will Preside
Chief Justice Fuller Administers
, Trial Oath to Senators Who Will
flit In the Case.
Washington , Jan. 26. The senate
took an Important stop In the Im
peachment trial of Unilcil Status
Judco Charles Swayno of the Nona
orn district of Florida. TUG organl/a
tlon for the trial was perfected hy
the swearing of the senators for
that purpose , the managers of the
house were received for the purpose
of formally pruBunting the articles of
Impeachment uml a resolution sum
moning Judge Swayne to appear was
adopted. I'Utt ( Conn. ) was elected
to preside at the tilal sessions. Fur
ther proceedings were postponed un
til Friday next , when Judge Swayuo
In expected to appear before the bar
of the senate.
The ceremony was Impressive and
was witnessed by a full senate and
by well filled galleries. The trial oath
was administered to the senators by
Chief Justice Fuller.
Estimates as to the length of time
that the trial will occupy vary from
ten days to a month after It is once
began. It is believed that when
Judge Swayne appears next Friday
ho will ask a few days to make an-
wer , and when he docs answer that
day or two more will bo given to
the house for the preparation of its
replication. A number of witnesses
will bo heard and considerable time
iwill be consumed by attorneys. It Is ,
therefore , probable that the conclu
sion of the case will not precede the
day of final adjournment in March.
It IB , however , the purpose of the sen'
ators to press the matter as rapidly
as possible , and the present expecta
tion is that the daily sessions will
bo advanced an hour or two. A part
of each day will bo given to the trial.
Judge Swayne is now In Wilmington ,
Del. , and Sergeant-at-Arms Ramsdell
or the senate left for that city to
erve the summons on him.

consisted of a speech on the state
hood bill by McCumber and the Bacon
resolution of inquiry concerning the
agreement between the United States
and Santo Domingo. The resolution
uraB referred to the senate committee
n foreign relations.

NORTHEAST NEBRASKA TO HAVE
ORGANIZATION.
COMPOSED OF EIGHT TEAMS
It Is Planned by Northern Nebraskn
Enthusiasts to Play Ball Next Summer -
mor 120 Games on the Schedule ,
Forty for Norfolk Town.
Northeast Nebraska IH to hima
baseball league of Its own. At least
that is the present prospect and thut
will ho the CIIHO if everything goon
well. The movement IB already on
foot and algus nro looking up. The
baseball fans believe lu signs , and the
chances arc that I hero will ho nn
eight-team league in a circle surround
ing Norfolk next minimer.
It IH the Intention of HIOHO who have
already got together on the matti-r
and talked It over , to Include towns In
the league which lie in ti wheel with
Norfolk as a hub , and which nro lim
ited at the outer edges as 1'llger , cast ,
Tihlon , west ; C'relghton , iioilh ;
Wayne , northeast ; Humphrey , Houth-
west. The towns which uro to belong
to the league tire to bo Norfolk , Tlldi'ii-
Stanton , 1'llgor , Humphrey , Pierre.
Crolghtiin and Way no. EnthuHlnsts
In each of the.se towim have boon cor
responding for Homo time with W. W.
Roberta of this city , ox-nmnngor , and
Mr. Roberts la satisfied that the
league can ho made a big success.
As planned now there will ho 120
games played during the season of
four months. That will make a game
every day. One-third of UICHO games
nro to be played in Norfolk. That will
give the fans of this city just forty ex
hibitions during the summer months
of cracking good baseball. And local
authorities on the matter declare that
Norfolk will easily support forty
games and do it woll.
There has always been a good bit
of latent enthusiasm in the national
sport so far as northeastern Nebraska
is concerned , and In many by-gone
seasons the fact haa been amply dem
onstrated that tho'financial end of the
play could bo made a success if it
had to. During the summer Just past
Norfolk had no baseball club , duo
largely to the fact that the weather of
the preceding year hod spoiled the
prospects. In seasons past , however ,
there wore baseball clubs hero and
good ones. And there have been some
rattling good aggregations around In
other towns of the circle that IK pro-
posed.
The first league baseball ever at
tempted in this section was in 18811 ,
when Norfolk boom days were on.
Lockwood was the star pitcher and
Harry Lodor was one of the best au
thorities. They're about the only ones
still remaining In town. Later came
the team of 1897 that played so many
bitter games against West Point.
Sometimes West Point won and some
times Norfolk won , but the struggles
were always keen to the end. In that
team Leland Spauldlng of this city
developed Into professional material
and the Morrison boys , "Biddy
Shorts , " Bobby Black later of Lo
Mars , Iowa , and now slated for nn
umpire in the Western league and
Dad Turner were stars , while Ragan
and Corbett , the fast battery for West
Point , proved the backbone of that
crowd. ' In one of those games the
most sensational episode that ever
happened in northeastern Nebraska
baseball , occurred. It was the odd
game and interest was at white heat.
Currency hung in big patches from
lingers of either side's supporters.
Kim Valcntaine , son of Judge Valen
tine of West Point , was umpire. He
called a West Point runner safe at
first , whom Norfolk fans considered
clearly out. Then the fireworks. Val
entine had to be escorted to his hotel
under police protection , to escape mob
violence. That ended the games be
tween the two clubs.
A couple of years later the Glen-
wood , Iowa , team made a trip through
this territory. It was the first time
the local club had been deefated. The
result was that the whole team was
hired and none of the players returned
home.
That same year saw good playing at
Stanton , Humphrey , Creighton , Til-
den , Nellgh , Pilger , Newman Grove ,
Elgin and other towns. On the Fourth
of July the Omaha Originals came up
for three games that split the win
nings. Jo Glaskl , from Humphrey ,
later made the Western leaguo.
Creighton always put up good base
ball , and probably always will. Kaley ,
for Instance , Is a natural born pitcher
and the Greenes are clover. It was
Creighton that furnished the most sue-
cessfu university baseball manager
that Nebraska ever had Mike Hen
derson.
These Interested are requested to
correspond with W. W. Roberts of
Norfolk.

NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN.
Saloonkeeper Denied Divorce From
Wife Charged With Drinking.
Kansas City , Jan. 20. "When a man
is engaged In the business of making
drunkards , it doesn't lie in his mouth
to complain if the effects of that busi
ness come homo to him. "
With the foregoing words Judge
Park , of the circuit court , refused to
grant Cornelius Dally a divorce.
Dally keeps a saloon. His wife Is
In the state asylum for the Insane.
Ho sued her for divorce , alleging that
she drank tn excess. In refusing the
divorce the judge said , in part :
"Ho married her when she was a
mere girl , 1C years old , and soon alter
went Into the saloon business. His
testimony was that his wife drank be
fore ho married her , and that she
loved alcohol so well that she used It
In her coffee. The testimony of wit
nesses for the wife tends to show that
the husband is not entitled to a di
vorce. "
