A Talk With President Spalillng.
CIIICAQO , Sept. 93. [ Special Telegram to
the UKK.I A reporter to-day talked with
President Spsldlnir , of the Chicago base ball
club , regarding the reported remarks of John
Ward , Now York's short stop , on the Brother
hood of Ball Players. Ward was reported to
have said that President Young , ot the Na
tional league , , has declined to receive any
communication from the Brotherhood as nn
organi/atlon , and has In other ways made
plain his purpose of totally Ignoring It That
. President Young would act In this manner
unless his course was directed by the other
members of the League , Mr. Ward does not
believe.
President Spaldlng , In the course of his
talk about this , said : "The matter was
brought up Informally while we were at
Asbury Park a month ago. Mr. Young said
he had received a personal letter from Ward
wanting to know If the League would moot
the players In convention. The matter WAS
Informally discussed nnd It was the prevail
ing opinion that there was no objection ; In
fact , the League would like to do ft"
"I suppose they answered that missive ? "
"I suppose so. The rest of my Informa
tion came through the press. "
"Do you think It would bo possible for
capitalists to step In between now and next
spring or summer and organize a base ball
association with these crack players , pro
vided they got enough of them , in big cities ,
like Chicago and New York and obtain
grounds that would be accessibleto the
public ? "
"That Is a business question that every
man would have to answer for himself. My
experience would not warrant mo In Invest
ing much money In the scheme. "
lu further talk about League affairs Mr.
Spaldlnu said the Sa.ooo limit on salaries had
been a dead letter fur some time , lie has
heard nothing about Clarkson'H alleged In
tention to go to lioston next year and says
the talk about letting Burns out Is entirely
untrue.
A Base Dall Trureaty.
A handful ot people witnessed a very
poorly played exhibition game between the
Omabas and Hastings yesterday afternoon.
The local team , as usual , opened up In a
promising way and scored two runs. Then
they were unable to knock a man across the
plate until the eighth Inning , when on three
safe hits , two ot them being three-baagera ,
they piled up live tallies. In the ninth they
were whitewashed. The Hastings scored
one In the first , four In the third , two In the
ntth , and the winning rnn In the ninth.
Both teams played In a listless , careless
manner , and the game was a travesty on the
great national pastime. The players of these
two teams evidently think this Is the last
year of professional ball playing and that It
doesn't make any difference ) what kind of a
game they put up. Probably , very likely In
foot , It Is thn last j ear for the majority of
them. Following Is the score :

.A MEMORABLE BANQUET.
The Fcaat Given By the Doeriug Com *
pnny to Tholr Men.
Ono of the most on joyablo little dinner
parties that ever occurred in Omaha was
held on Sunday evening. Besides the
bounteous ronast served , the object for
which the entertainment was given de
serves particular mention. It was a
testimonial from William Dcorlng & Co. ,
the famous grain und grass cutting
machinery manufacturers of Chicago , to
their representatives In Nebraska for
good and faithful services during the
season of 1887. The dinner was given at
Robert Laws1 cafe in the board of trade
building , and among those who partlci- ,
pated wcro Dion Goraldmo , manager of
the company's business in this state , and
his office force and traveling men as fol
lows : D. B. Smith , J.V. . Kelly , J. A.
Burnett , George H. Cbeevor , 1) . P. Owen ,
Charles A. Foster. W. P. Gavin. D. C.
Callahan , J. H. Lindcrman ana A. R.
Brown. The party sat down at 8 o'clock
nnd it was nearly 11 when the festivities
were over. The entertainment will long
bo remembered , especially by Manager
Gcraldlne , who , besides tiie good feeling
manifested by the manufacturers and
the gentlemen of whom he has charge ,
was the recipient of a Holirt gold watch
and chain from those present.
The Doenng company did well to give
a social nnd practical manifestation of
its appreciation of Nebraska workers.
During the present year its business has
doubled In the stato. April 1 Mr. Geraldine -
dine shipped over 150 cars of the
company's wares to Nebraska. Five
solid trains , consisting of 125 cars , were
shipped as one consignment direct to
dealers throughout the stato. This is ac
knowledged to be the largest consign
ment of machinery over made at any
one time In any country , with perhaps
the exception of n shipment of American
machinery to Japan some years ago.
Hero is the notable difference , however :
In. the former cose the invoice came from
one establishment in the latter there
were the combined shipments of many
houses in the United States. This large
transfer of machinery excited great at
tention nt the time and Mr. Gor-
nhlino's boldness was the wonder
of the day. Many predicted
that Deering & Co. would lind their
machines a drug on the Nebraska market
The result was just the reverse. Wet
only was the entire consignment dis
posed of. but additional orders came in
so rapidly and numerously that the com
pany was unable to meet the demand.
Truly the year 1887 has been n great sea
son for the Deering company and its
representatives in this part of the west ,
and the dinner of Sunday meant much
more than a feast of reason and a How of
soul. " 4
SPLENDID SCHOOLS.
Superintendent James KnthusUntlc
Over Tholr Prosperous Condition.
A BEE reporter had a brief interview
with Superintendent James , of the public
schools , yesterday morning. He is in
high state of spirits and says the schools
never wcro in such a wonderfully tine
condition as they arc just now. This conj
dition of things , too , ho says is especially
remarkable when it is taken into consid
eration that this fall has witnessed an
unprecedented Increase in attendance ,
that about fifty now teachers
have been employed , and other
changes have taken place , which
under ordinary circumstances would
at least temporarily interfere with
the prosperity and smooth running of
these institutions. The schools that have
opened have at lost been fully equipped
with furniture , etc. , and are running like
clock work. There are , however a num
ber of suburban schools that have not
yet opened. Among these are the Ban
croft , Forest Park. Amber Place. West
Side. West Omaha , Walnut Hill and
Orchard Hill schools. Buildings for
these are in course of construction ,
though , nnd will be pushed to
completion with all possible expedition ,
and the 1st of October , will find the en
tire system throughout the city in oper
ation. As nearly as the superintendent
could get at it there will bo , when all the
schools are in progress , an attendance of
7.800 pupils , or 2,300 moro than last year.
Una is un increase of 40 per cent , which
is also , taking statistics as a basis , about
the ratio of increase of the city's
population , furnishing indisputable
proof of the astonishing rapiditv
with which Omaha is assuming
the dimensions of one of the largest com
mercial cities in the country. The super
intendent says there are now about 180
teachers employed. Ho thinks they are
a superior lot , as they have boon selected
from hundreds of applicants after the
most careful personal investigation nnd
examination. The now board has taken
hold of things with the most praiseworthy
energy , and has already demonstrated
that it is fully capable to maintain a
Ntuudard in our public schools surpassed
nowhere.

PUSHING IMPROVEMENTS.
Work on the Gigantic Knterprine at
South Otnahn.
To-day Armour begins work laying
brick on his new building at South
Omaha. It will bo 300 feet square , and it
is intended to have the structure com
pleted in thirty days. All the men that
can bo pressed into Work will be em
ployed , and the armyr of workmen will
completely cover the structure. This
work will bo , witliou doubt , the quickest
piece ol construction' for a building ot the
size ever done in 'this ' country. As soon
as this building is completed the work of
excavation for the addition to bo erected
next spring will be commenced.
The big sewcr.now in course of con
struction is a mammoth nflair , and
will bo completed this fall. The south
east portion comprises a tunnel six foot
square with a trench at tlio bottom for a
24 inch pipe when necessary. Tina tunnel
forms the principal part of 1,600 feet of
the Mower and penetrates the blufl's. The
surface portion ot the river is 7,000 feet
long and runs from the stock yards to a
point thrcoblocks oist : of A1 bnghts station
wlioro it turns east to connect with the
tunnel portion. , f.
G. A. Kmkol ofiOmaha , and A. Kinkel
of Now York prop'bse to' establish a ren
dering and refining establishment south
of the Swift vackimr house on the line of
the muiu sewer , and to employ liftcon to
twenty men.
The improvem < m | ? at South Omaha
arc , in fact , wonupkjful , and those resi
dents of Omaha w'hp have not visited the
the place the past\summor \ would hardly

POUKTH WAijrf REPUBLICANS ;
The Club Makes S&mo Changea In Its
The Fourth ward republican club met
at Uermauto hall last evening to make
some important changes in their by-laws
and to listen to tlio reading of laws re
lating to elections. Suction 3 of their
by-laws was amended by giving power
to the vice-president to call special meet
ings in the absence of the president , nnd
aho specifying th.it on request of flvp
members of the club a special meeting
could bo called.
The great debate of the evening was
on the remodoline of section 0 of thu by
laws. It was finally adopted in the fol
io wing form :
The object of this club shall bo to main
tain , support and forward the principles and
Interests of the republican p.irty. and es
pecially In thn fourth ward of the city of
the cltv of Otnahn ; to ratify and support nil
regular nominees ot the republican partv
made In regular state , county , city or ward
conventions , and rack member of this club is
In duty and honor bound to support any
nominee- the party when made In a regu
lar convention ot the republican party , not
only with his vote , but also with his in
fluence , and exnrt himself to the utmost to
secure the election of such nominee. The
penalty for refuslnc to vote for and support
the recular nominee of the republican party
for either national , state , county , cltv or
w rd olllce shall be expulsion from this club ,
on a majority vote of the club.
Next followed the reading of a long
abstract of the election laws by C. 1 .
Brpckonridgo. Ihe one which attracted
the most attention was the law requiring
a person participating In the primaries
to bo a legal voter.
After a few short speeches by visiting
members from other wards , thu club ad
journed to meet on Wednesday evening
ot next week.

There was a decided improvement in
the presentation of the "llag Baby"nt
the lioyd last night , though the warmth
of the evening prevented the attendance
of tlio audience which the piece usually
attracts. Mr. Itccd made a more satis
factory impression in his newly assumed
role of Old Sport , and the march of im
provements , sorno of which may bo at
tributed to sedulous rehearsals , yester
day , oven readied tlio tramps. Thcro
was a little moro music in their singinc ,
and with their contortions no fault could
bo found. Reod's' ipicnl song , "Tele
phones in the Air. ocelved a quadruple
recall , though the star's attempt to say
something origlnnf j"at the phono" was
without marked s < acess. Miss Gcorgio
Parker'rt Venus , si v $ in the clogs , is not
an improvement umin thnt of nomy other
predecessors , thouglitlieClaireUo of Miss

duced. The piece will bo played again

Ludies and gentlemen : I crave your In

ot Sixteenth and Douglas streets , was
discovered to bo on lire. The 11 auica

to the extent of | 500. Tlio lire is sup
posed to have been caused by the explo

Mo Cook Land Prund Gasps.
Action has boon brought in thu United
States court ngain.st Albert W. Katon ,
Jolm P. Dutand , Edward Mi McUlllan
aud the Harlem UaUla company , for al
leged crookedness in securing two quar
ter sections of land near McCook , under
the homestead act. It seems that Durand
and Eaton arc in the employ of the Har
lem Cattle company , and it is claimed
that they perpetrated the fraud at the
bidding of McUillan , the leading member
of the company. Although they have
never resided upon or improved the
quarter sections in question , they made
affidavit that they had lived upon and
cultivated the same for live yours , and
thereby received titles which they turned
over to the Harlem Cattle company.
Suit is now brought to annul those , titles
A lilbcrnl Offer.
Mr. W. G. Albright , the real estate
dealer who has become famous for his
liberality as wull us the certainty with
which ho puts his customers in tlio way
of reasonable and quick profits , again
comes to tlio front with a most liberal
proposition. Ho now proposes to re
fund the faro paid from any point in the
eoet to Omaha to any ono purchasing
renl estate of him to the amount of ono
thousand dollars. This is certainly a
very favorable opportunity for those
visiting our city on the popular harvest
excursions which the railways hnvo lately
inaugurated , to save their furo and at
the samn time make a profitable invest
ment. This offer , Mr. Albright informs
us , is open to any ono nnd he will bo

Bitten By an Ugly Doc.
Yesterday momma Thomas F. McNa-
mara , the butcher nt 714 North Sixteenth
street , received an ugly bite m the calf
of his left leg by a cross Newfoundland
dog belonging to William Dahlman , the
proprietor of the Now York restaurant
at 711 North Sixteenth street. An exam
ination of t'hf ) wound showed that a
piece of tlcsh had been bltton completely
out of the leg. After the wound was
drosscd McNanmra got out his revolver ,
hunted up the dog and shot him. This
enraged Dahlmnn and last evening ho
caused a warrant to bo issued for MoNa-
mara's arrest.
House Nuwtxjrers Arrested.
Cornelius Hogan , ' of 1624 South Eighth

this , but they were released on their own
recognizance to appear for trial this
morning.
Governor Kornkor.
The rumor that Governor Fornkor was
snubbed by Mrs. Cleveland is , wo under
stand , entirely without foundation. She
smiled on him ns well -as on governors of
other states. But what is the approba
tion of the mistress of the white house to
the serenity of mind which you experi
ence after having made what you know
is a good investment in Omaha realty.
You can satisfy yourself if you will cullen

When catarrh has existed In the head and the
upoer pait or the throut for any lonuth of tlmo
tre iiatlent living In a district wlioro people
arc subject to cntarrhal nnvcilon ai\l the dis
ease ban been left imoured.tho catarrh Invari
ably , sometimes slowly , extends down tuo
windpipe and Into the bronchial tubes , which
ttiBuHconvey the air to the dltTcrent pirtsof
the luiitfs. The tubes become affected from
the Bwcllluir and the mucous arising from
catarrh , nnd , In some instances , become plugged
up. so that the air cannot gel In as freely ns It
Hhould. dliortness of breath follow * * , and the
patient bruiithes with labor anil dllllculty ,
In either case more is a sound of crackling
and wheorlng Inside the ch st. M this stage of
the disease the breathing 1 9 usually more rapid
than when In health. The patient Una also Iiot
dashes over his body.
Tlio pain which accompanies tills condition Is
of a dull ctmmcter , 1'clt In the chest , behind the
breast bono , or under the shoulder nlado. The
pain may come and go lust few days and thoa
be absent for snvorul othora. The cough that
ouourH In the ( list stnpes of bronchial oatairh Is
dry , comes on at Interval ! , hacking In charac
ter , and Is usually most troublesome In tno
morning on rising , or going to bad at night and
It may bo In the first evidence of the disease ex
tending Into the lungs.
Sometimes there are fits of coughing Induced
by the tough mucus so violent as to cause vom
iting. Later on the mucus that Is talsod.ls
found to contain small particles of yellow mat
ter , which Indicates that the small tubes In the
lutif.'s are now nffeotcrt. With this there an )
niton sti oaks of blood mixed with the mucus.
In some cases the patient becomes very pale ,
Inis lever , and expectorates bolore anyoough
appears.
In some cases smal Imasses of cheesy sub
stance nru spit up , which , when pressed be
tween the Oncers , omit H bad odor. In ether
CKSCS , particles of n hard , chalky nature are
pplt up. The raising of cheesy or chalky lumps
indicate serious uilsiilcf at work In the luugi.

You mioc76 when you got up In the morning ,
you try to sneeze jour nosu off every tlmo you

a fullness over the front of the forehead , and
the nose tools as If there was a plug In each
nostril whluh > ou cannot dislodge. You blow
your nose untilour ears crack , but It don't do
any gooJ , and the only result la that you suc

Catarrh" as It is called.
Now , whatdoas this condition indicate ? First ,
