The Cowbny.ProhihKion Muddle.
President J. S. McCortnlck , who is spe.ir-
ing mermaids at Spirit Lake , has called a
special meeting of the bo.ird of directors of
the Western association for that point Monday -
day , for the purpoio of arbitrating the Ues
Moine.s-ICansas City embrogllo. From the
prlinn facie evidence Kansas City is unques
tionably In the right. Manager Manning
was oflleinUy informed by the manager of
the DCS Molncs foam that the elub had boon
disbanded and thu players released. Manning
immediately signed Hart , Patton and
Traflley , then consented to an exhibition
gaino which Ues Molncs won. The
readiness with which DCS Mollies' players
were being gobbled up opened the umn'aRO-
inent's eves to the fact that they could proba
bly realize several thousand dollars by the
sale of their bust men , so they squealed , and
sending for Secretary Kocho , claimed that
the club had not disbanded and that the
players hnd not been legally released , Kocho
swallowed this story without salt and decided
in accordance with tbo " wishes of the man
agement that the players hud not been le
gally released. The following day Kansas
City refused to play against -wnat it consid
ered part ojyts own team nnd the game wua
l iveint fDu Moines , as wns the exhibition
game of thoUny before. Kansas City has ap
pealed to thjl board of directors and the mat
ter will bo settled Monday. While the Cow
boys may not get the men they signed , It la
quite certain the forfeited games will not be
counted against them.

Milwaukee has always been the club of the
Western association you could rely unon in
every way and at the end of the season
always proved a.s well as any of them. Mil
waukee never had any linanclal trouble ,
where the clubs of other cities like St. Paul ,
Minneapolis , Dea Moines and Sioux City had
hard times to pull through. If tbo Western
association would not have Milwaukee and
ICansas City it would no tbo at the standpoint
it is now.Vliy then drop the best towns
and substitute less successful ones ) Milwau
kee won the pennant ono year and never re
ceived it , tbo pennant being credited to a
club that was a year later transferred to
Omaha. This perhaps explains the ill-feeling
or would Omaha like to have the pennant

tlon ttalscd Ijiwt Mir lit.
A special mooting of the members of the
Young Moil's ' Christian association was held
last evening for the purpose of taking some
decided action towards raising money with
which to p.iy oft the indebtedness of the asso
ciation. There were nhout.otio hundred mem
bers present when President Fleming cnllod
the meeting to order. I IP mndo a short state
ment of the linanclal condition of the orga
nization , showing the debt to bo about $11,000 ,
with about fl.fiOi ) of this amount provided for.
A llttlo over half of the Indebtedness repre
sents the balance duo on the building , and the
remainder was incurred by current expensed.
Mr , Fleming stated that it had been sug
gested that the members of the association
should at once hike steps to ralso the llrst few
thousands among themselves , to show their
interest in wiping out the tiidohlodno.-is nnd
to show the business men of the city that
they wcro deserving of their iisslxtaneo.
Mr. Nash was eallod upon for a few re
mark ? , and stated that he did not bellovo
that the business men of the city would see
the building closed nnd the work of the asso
ciation abandoned. The need for the worlc
would exist Just the same whether the
association stood squarely on Its loot
In good llnanclal condition or was bankrupt.
Ho was positive that there was no other
organization that could do so much for young
men , and ho doubted If there WUH anyone
who would deny that it ought to contiuuo its
peed worn among the .M , 000 young men of
Oinithn. Ho then stated Unit It was proposed
to ralso the llrst thousand dollars right then
and there , and called fonsubscrlptlons ,
It was evident from the start that the
ineinbors were In earnest in their efforts to
pay off tbo debt , and subscriptions were re
ceived by the .score , Tlicro wcro very few
who did not oft'or to give something , and the
subscriptions ranged from $1 toJ50 each.
Printed blanks had been prepared , and they
were circulated among those present.
It required n llttlo over an hournndjii half to
raise the $1,000 , but It was finally all pledged ,
the last dollar being received with hearty
upplauso. ( > real enthusiasm was manifested
nnd many of the members pledged themselves
to raise various amounts from other members
who were not present nt the meeting.
It was decided that for the present all work
will bo done among the members them
selves , and a carefully conducted can
vass will bo inadu. It is contidently
hoped to rateo $ ' ) ,000 in this way and tbo busi
ness men will bo asked to subscribe the re
mainder.
The initial steps are very promising , and it
Is hoped to ralso the necessary amount to pay
of the debt by January 1 , 1801. The subscrip
tions made last night wcro on that basis , al
lowing ilvo months in which to complete all
payments. The olllcors of tbo association are
highly elated over the outlook and every
member will now push the work with re-
uowed vigor.
FllIDAY NIGHT'S STOKM ,
It Assumes a Cyclonic Character in
the Vicinity of I'lielllc ! .Junction.
The raia storm of Friday night seems to
have been unusually severe throughout the
Missouri valley , and at Puciflo Junction it
was somewhat of a cyclonic character.
Conductor Bon Lovorluo of tbo Burlington
gives n graphic account of tbo storm as it was
seen from the windows of a passenger coach.
Pacific Junction Is the end of his run. Ills
train hud been run in on n side track , and just
before midnight ho nmdo his , bed in ono
of Ufo coaches and retired for the
night. An hour Inter ho was
awakened by a loud peal of thunder , and
golne to ono of the windows , saw a funnel-
shaped cloud bearing down upon the town.
The sky became inky black , and a moment
later the storm struck. The coach was over
turned , mid in going down an embankment ,
ono of Lovcrino's legs and his arms wcro
badly bruised. Bo remained quiet for a
short time , and then , climbing over the seats ,
made his way to the door when , by the
flushes of lightning , ho watched the storm as
it wrought its litivoc , scattering lumberyards
and outhouses in every direction.
The wind continued to blow for five min
utes and then thu rain fell in torrents for two
hours.
The principal damage consisted in the
wrecking of three small building's ' , ono occu
pied as a confectionery store , ono ns n feed
store nnd the other a small , unoccupied resi
dence. The residence was totally destroyed ,
wlillo the ether buildings wcro blown from
their foundations and unroofed.
After the storm hud passed over Mr. Lov-
erino crawled from the car and made his way
to a doctor's olllco , where his bruises were
dressed. Ho brought his train down yester
day afternoon nnd will lay up a few days for
repairs.

It Is very evident thnt tlicro has been a row
In the ranks of the amalgamated forces , and
both Duller and Burrows nro willing that it
should expand. It nil coiacs , I hear , from the
fact that the apportionment in the different
eouulios to the stuto convention July 2 ! ) ,
was mudo xvrong. For instance , Puwiieo
county wns given but three delegates , while
frontier was given twcnty-threo. Pmvnoo
was entitled to thirty , If Frontier was enti
tled to twenty-three , and as IJurrows inadu
up the list , B'utlor sees In it n chance to do -
privo him of twenty-seven delegates.
Another thing thut makes llutler hot and
warm is that ho claims that Hurrows signed
Craddock's name to llio general call for uu in
dependent convention without Craddock's
knowledge. Cnuldock Is secretary of the
labor party of Nebraska. The following copy
of Craddock's loiter on that subject shows
tlmt the labor folks are also disturbed :

"Whether Rutler is sincere or not ; whether
Burrows is .sincere or not , or what Is the

and proves , beyond doubt , Is the fart that
Butler nnd Burrows are nt war. And this Is
why Butler roasts Ilurrows at public meet
