JMIOIIIBITION AND HIGH MCKNSIC. Minnewota'H Mctlioiliist Conference Al most IlrcakH Up iu a How. MINXKAPOI.IS , Oct. 18. [ Special Telegram to the Bur. . ] The state Methodist conference had a lively time yesterday on the prohibition question. It always causes a commotion and it almost caused u row. Things were very lively for a little while. The temperance committee , of which Kov. W. W , Satterleo was chairman , reported a series of rcsolu tions which advocated prohibition nnd denied that high license was the solution of the liquor problem. Mr. Sattcrlee , however , did not agree with these resolutions and had drawn up a minority report. About the only difference was the portion referring to high license. Mr. Suttorlee's rcsolu tion said that the liquor truffle was the great political question of the day , to bo settled only tlirough political parties. It further pledges the convention to denounce all social nnd ixilitical organiza tions which uro not opposed to license. The resolutions all contained a rabid attack on high license. Mr. Satterleo supiwrted his resolution , elaborating on the old arguments Dr. William McKingley , favored th majority report. He said they all wanted the same thing , but that bis friend had a pet plan , which ho Wished to force on other people , He did not propose to commit himself to any policy. The church wanted more prayers and less partisanship , moro Methodism and less foolery. Uev. Mr. Morgan vigorously defended the minority report. He said the majority re ] > ort hinted ut high license , which was n trick of hell , and no solution. Other ministers si > eke pro and con , but Dr. S. G. Smith , of St. Paul , created u sensation by saying thut u year ago the third party crowd hud got n majority in the conference on such resolutions us these now introduced by the ordinary Methodists of politicul intrigue. Ho was called to order by the others und Bishop Fowler Interrupted und ho hud to withdraw the words in order to proceed. A compromise amendment was introduced by Dr. W. 1C. Marshall , which opposed license of all kinds and favored the submission of the question to the people for a popular vote , independent of all partisan association. Finally the original resolutions were barely carried. Work ol' Miinked Kolibers. Pi-x Si'TAWXin , I'u. , Oct. IS.

It looking ever the nvernges of the present season's base ball team it is ascertained thut their work at times was of n very brilliant If not phenominal order. At other times they fell down , to use a phrase of the turf , nnd played a game n nine of high school boys would have been ashamed of. As n general thing their Holding wasfully up to the West ern League standard , but their average bat ting throughout the seiison was very jwor. The men who did the most uniform good work were Walsh , Healoy and Messett , while Genius' work was exceedingly meritorious. Walsh undoubtedly played us good n short Held as nny man in tie ] league , nnd barring the latter part of the season batted nnd ran buses with the very .best in the profes sion. The Hun , notwithstanding but little m bo said < ? f the construction of next year's team , usccrtains that it is highly probable thai the tint three men above mentioned.will bo retained and maybe ono other. As.to . the now mon nothing can be said , for us yet none huvo been sought alter or negotiated with. Notwithstanding this year's team stood Hfth in the champion ship race , the club lost no money , which is evidence enough thut u winning nine hero would bo n bonanza. This the directors are determined to have , und it is u lucky deter mination , as another losing club here would kill the gamo. The capital stock has been Increased to $10,000 , and Omaha will enter the new Western association in us good Hnuncial standing ns uny club in the circuit. However , they must not lese sight of the fact that It is fulso economy to postpone any longer the engagement of players. ' Kvery manager in the country Is hustling for now material and the promising players uro being gobbled up nt an nlarming.j-uto. If the gentlemen in charge of the lov'ai nffairs hope to carry out their laudable determination to secure a creditable team they must bo up and .doing or alt their goo.d intentions will uvull naught. There is not u-question but whut 'thin city will hundhomoly supwrt | a flrst-clusH and well paid team , and dejuy is darigerous in tho'sfllectiou of men. . The outlook for next season is moat flattering and the base hall community are clamoring for a winning nine , Dave Ho wo was in the city Sunday ( after .Too Walsh It Is suspected ) , and a BKK man had u long and Interesting talk with him In rela tion to the now Western association. Bo says It promises great things and Is bound to develop Into us iwvcrful and ImjKirtnnt an organization us the American association , with Judicious aud efllcient management. Ho says that Walter Golsby , this season's manager of the Toj > ekes , together with Halllduy , Johnson nnd Dan Stearns have agreed to go with Jtmmla Manning to Kansa.Cily and win the pennant for IbSO. Ho also says that Swart/el has been signed by the Detroit * , Billy Hart by the Ciiieln- nulls and Beckley by the Baltlmores , and ho Is apprehensive that if extra precautions are not adopted and timely action taken all the best players of the Western league will betaken taken by the older and moro ixnverful or- pinlzul Ions. This is only eorroborntlng whut the Bun has been preaching for n month back. If the Omuhu management really In tends to accomplish anything they must begin the scrumblo for players ut once , miin- agor or no manager , or the battle Is lost. They seem to nnvo placed all their hopes in the management of u inun- ager , and while this ofllclul is certainly a highly Important factor in the success of any base ball association It should not bo allowed to Interfere with the search and engagement of players. There nro plenty of men in Omaha capable of Judg ing as to the merits of a ball player ; then why not deputize one of them to pitch in and at least begin the good work. When a man ager is once secured then the entire affairs of the club can bo turned over to him. Notes. General Crook Is absent on an elk and bear hunt in the mountains of Colorado.
