Aniiitotir OIIIIIUH.
At Ian It Is n SUM thing that Omaha's base
'ball club will be continued throughout the
cinon. This conclusion was reached nt the
mootliit ; of the Western association mag
nates at tbo l > axton last o/enIng. The as
sociation , backed by the ciilzons of Omaha ,
will put n team on its foot in tlmo to clay
the regular scheduled soriot at Kansas City
commencing next \Vodnoiday.
Provident Nick Young has notified each
member of Iho old team to return to Omaha
forthwith or suitor the consequences , and It
Is quite probable that the bulk of the old
force will bo back within a few days. In the
meantime the team Is to bo tilled up wllh
pUynrj from the National league and West
ern association clubs , and It IH not unlikely
that n strong aggregation will be gotten
logo th or.
It Is also within the possibilities that Dave
Howe of Lincoln will he at the head of tlio
team temporarily , at least. Milt Whitohoail ,
the old Denver third baseman , Is here and
will probably 1111 Donnelly's shoes until the
professor Is definitely hoard from. In ai.y
event the Omaha patrons ran rest assured
that the club Is to go on horo. There Is no
talk about this. It , Is business. Thu citizens
of Omaha should atU-st to their approoiation
of the association's work by nisponding freely
and promptly to their support. The reprn-
sontutlvps of the different clubs will remain
hero until the Omaha club is thoroughly re
habilitated mid upon Its feet. As yet , the
matter can oni.v bo thus brlolly stated , as
much is yet to bo accomplished and It Is best
to wait and got the ( acts. Speculation as
to tbo make-up of the team would bo Idle yet
awhile , but by tomorrow much that is im
portant will have been settled.

A fair sized crowd went out lo the ball park
yesterday afternoon and with open mouths
and bulging eyes witnessed the Kansas City
passenger and lickot agents vvhollon the
Omaha nynrcsontalivos of the same do-
"
parlinonls. It was a wild , wierd
and wonderful game , the feature
of which was Hilly Tr.Ulley's catching for
both sides , They were both willing to let
him stand behind the plato and stop Durkee
Franklin's cannon shotsbut they shut him out
with the stick. They said they were plenty
able Ip do their own hilling without calling
on any professional. Dan Hotiiti's couching
wns enough to starl a freiehl irain and sev
eral ladles In Iho grand sland fainted when
ho made his tlrst slide. Il was a honey-
cooler , Dan skaling from half way down from
lir l clear ever second und on to third. There
was no lagging to Iho coulosl , it was got up
and get from start to finish and all thai beat
the Omaha gentlemen was the Kansas ( Jity
players. The umpire wasn't in it. The

The few who went to Nonpuroll park yes
terday afternoon to sco two nines from the
Triune and Nebraska lodges , Knights of
Pythias , play hall , saw a struggle that did
not end until the sun wont down. Such bal
ling , fielding nnd b.iso running was never
seen before Inside Ihe city limits of Omaha.
The game was played strlclly on Pylhlan
principles , and friendship , charity and bo-
novolfitico prevailed , particularly among the
pitchers , whoso charity led them to give
more bases on balls than usually occur In a
dozen games. The game wai called Im
mediately after dinner , but darkness stopped
Iho struggle t tbo end of the .seventh inning ,
when the score was 31 to i In favor of Ne
braska > io. I. The reserve force was ex
hausted and the Bper.tators were culled upon
In numerous Instances bofoni the carnage
ended , but ai Iho outset the opposing , teams
wore mntlo up of the following ambitious
gentlemen :

It was necessary to chanifo pltt-hors after

resulted tnoro disastrously than Its predecessor
ser , and it was only by the merest chance
that a man escaped to toll the story. M. 14.
Itocdor of the Nohraskas mulTcd a beautiful
lly In the llfth which so disheartened him
that his whiskers wilted and ho retired from
Ihe gamo. At that tlmo llio score stood II to
1 In favor of Iho Trlunes , but the Nebraska '
luck changed right ttmro and Caplaln Nelson
managed to push his black silk caps nnd while
lentils shoes to victory.
Captain StcrnsdorfT , of llio Trlutios ,
dropped .Iho llrsl ball thrown to him , and
religiously adhered to that practice through
out the gamo. Shriver made a brilliant
play in tlio sixth. With two men out and
the bases full , Hro.idburst batted n hot 0110
to Shriver who was in the box. Ho saw the
sphere coming , threw up his hands and yelled ,
but ho couldn't scare tlio ball , which struck
him square In the broad basket. It was a
dog fall for both wont down together , but it
mnao himvor so mad ttiai no iriod lo tnrow
Iho ball olonr out of the yard , but the ilwt
baseman pulled it down a hi Joe Start and no
runs came in.
Thornton was the man who won the game.
You see , the Triunes were nine ahead when
the Nebraska * came In for their final ma-
zurUa. nnd the first two mon went out. Then
Ihoy squeezed along unlil seven runs were
In nnd Iho second nud third bags occupied ,
when Mr. Thornton slopped up and smashed
her away out in deep cotilor. It was the Orst
tlmo he had touched It , and the resounding
crack scared him so that bo irallopod away
like a quarter horse and didn't stop unlil ho

SitKVAN'iioAii , la. , July 18. [ Special to Tun
linn. | This enterprising city is enjoying n
flutter of excitement ever the commence
ment exorcises that will bo hold the coming
week nt the Western Normal college.
The baccalaureate address will bo deliv
ered In the college chapel by Hov. Wlckor-
sham , pastor of the M. E. church , tomorrow
evening , nnd the graduating exercises will
commence on Monday and end Thursday ,
which will close this college year.
After ascertaining from the college
records that 554 graduations , In the
different grades , 'have been accomplished
during the year now closing , your correspondent
pendent concluded to indulge In n little his
torical research ID reference to this remark
able Institution of learning , which resulted In
developing the following leading facts.
In July , 1SS1 , ground was broken for the
erection of the fircl building , and the school
publicly organl/od In December of the sami )
year , bul owing 10 various causes Iho school
did nol prosper until isso , when Prof. W. M.
Cowan took hold of it , and ibrough extensive
advertising , attracted the attention of educa
tors , who upon careful Investigation found
not only cap-iblo nud oniclout iii.inngoniont ,
and necessary ability to instruct , but also
found the people of Shenandoah
and surrounding country intelllcuut.
wide nwaKe , and possessing advanced
views on temperance , and all loading mora
questions , and knowing well the value of
such advantages in the advancement of ed
ucation , gave the school a hearty support.
Under such Inllucnces , and well divided
efforts , reasonable advancement was assured.
But Its most uruont friends never expected
that more than five hundred students would
bo enrolled at any time under ten years , and
yet Iho college register shows inoro limn
iwico ibat number during the year Just clos
ing. The entire absence of saloons has ttono
much to encourage this wonderful attend
ance at the college , even the Itinerant bootlegger -
logger finds ttits city n very uncomlortablu
place for his business.
Another element of encouragement is found
in the large number of churches every lead
ing denomination being reproontod lhat
have been creeled in ibis city. In fuel
almost the entire population are church
goers. Therefore the student who comes here ,
though a stranger , finds welcome friends In
the church of his choice. Very extensive
preparations are being made for the enter
tainment of visitors during commencement.
Moro than ono hundred now houses have
been built lu Shonnamloah already this year.

MORGAN WRITES A LETTER.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs IQircl
Vent to His Grievances. ' *
HE SCORES THE CATHOLIC BUREAU.
Clmrj-ea That It Has Knilnnvnretl to
Hinder the Oororntiiont In 'its
Work of ClvllUIntthu
Hod .Alan.
WASIUXOTOX , July IS.-Inn letter to Father
Chappel , vice presldout of the Catholic mis
sions bureau , giving the reasons which lullu-
oncod his action In no longer milking con
tracts with that bureau , Commissioner Mor
gan says : "On entering upon my present
duties I expressed my proforotuw for the
government rather than the contract system
as being more In harmony with the American
idea of oducatlon by moans of public schools.
At the same tnno I stated that thu schools
maintained by the government for the educa
tion of the Indians should bo strlctlv non-sno-
tarlan and non-partisan ; and further , that
appropriation of public funds to sectarian In
stitutions was , In my opinion , contrary to the
spirit if not the loiter of the constitution ami
opposed to public policy.
"Mv position on the question Is violently
assailed bvyour bureau. False charges were
preferred against tno , and the most deter
mined but futllo efforts wore made to prevent
my continuation and to secure iny displace-
incut. Those in your employ in the lleht and.
others Instigated apparently by the attitude
of the bureau , have endeavored dlrectiv or
indirectly to hinder the efforts of the govern
incut in its benillcent work of educating
and civilizing the Indians through its
own appropriate means. Those Inllnem-en
emanating from your burnau have ( men. in
some respects at least , hurtful and it is cer
tainly not its fault that the covornmciit
schools have not been crippled or oven do-
stroyed. Wliilo drawing hundreds of thou
sands of dollars of government funds to build
up and sustain the mission schools under
your charge , your bureau has thrown the
whole weight of its inlluenco against the gov-
ornnientupoii whose bounty It subsisted. "
Further correspondence was made public
this afternoon. Under date of July 9 Father
( Jhappcllo , vice proddcnt of the bureau of
Catholic Indian missions , replied to Morgan ,
assorting that each nnd every member of the
bureau declared that he lias "no knowledge of
any kinn relative to the newspaper articles
rcllectlng on the commissioner. The article
was later discussed in the presence of Mr.
Cionnan , an omplovo of the bureau and the
person alleged to have Inspired it , and the
conclusion was reached that no member or
employe of the bureau lias a right to iniiko
such an assault upon the Indian ofllco or any
other public oftlce. Ciormaii thero-
upou rc.signcd bis position in the
bureau. In conclusion Father Chap
polio says the policy of congress
as understood by the bureau , is In perfect
harmony with thu objects of thu bureau ,
to-wit : To aid in perfecting the education
among thu Indians inaugurated by President
Grant when ho established his celebrated
paaeo policy.
The commissioner also received n letter
dated Capo May , May IU , from Cardinal Gib'
bens , in which the latter expresses regret at
the appearance of the newspaper article referred
ferrod to , as ho says ho Is very much opposci' '
to personal attacks of this character. 'luJV
cardinal continues : "I nm not acquainted \
with the author of the article , who was an
employe of the Catholic bureau , but whoso
connection therewith is , as I am advised ,
in deference to your wish now
ended. I regret thu publication of
this article nil the more since I understand
that prior to its appearance an agro ni"nt
had been reached whnroby mutually friendly
relations were apparently insured between
your ofllco and the Catholic bureau of which
fact I learned with much sntlsfatlon and
that following Its appunranco.rou had deemed
it proper to announce a determination to com-
nlotoly sever the relations bntween your
otllco and that bureau by declining to enter
into contracts with It for the education of
Indian children.
"This , I submit , is a very grave stop , ouu
that I lea i1 will bo fraught with much ornbar-
rassomont with all concerned in thu gr > * at
and necessary work of educating our Indian
wards and result in complications and
conditions that can ho productive only of dis
cord and trouble. I am clearly of thooplmon
that It will bo u mistake to carry out your
Intention , and therefore I trust that you will
reconsider the matter and conclude to con
tinue thu relations before existing between
your ollico and the Catbollo bureau. '
"From the assurances given by the > thi
olio bureau I fool sure that you will not \n/r \
the future regret having complied with i Urfs
request. Its-desire , as I nm pleased to note ,
is to do everything that is right and proper to
brltti ; about harmony , nnd for inysolt I will
say that I will use 'my inlluonco to prevent
any ono connected with that bureau indulg
ing in attacks upon you of a malevolent or
personal character. 1 had n very pleasant
and quite a long talk with the president
yesterday , but did not allude to the matter. "
The commissioner on July IB sent another
loiter to Father Chappullo in answer to thu
lattor's Jotter of the bill inst. . In which ho
says that , ho has given Father Clmppello's
letter serious consideration mid sues no rea
son for any nio't ' Ideation of his act. The
commissioner's -ttor 1 continued : "Your
assurance that the clforts of your bureau
in the future will bo , as in the past ,
they have ever been , to cordially
co-oporato with the Indian odico In Us endeavor -
doavor , etc. . is a little too suggestive nnd
promises anything but friendly relations. I
will not enter into any discussion at this
limo of the several points of your commun
ication , but wish to offer an apology for tins
inadvertence of the typewriter in using thu
word 'president1 instead of 'director' when
mentioning Uov. J. A. Stephen , a mlsinko
which I , too , overlooked. Allow mu to say
further that if I hud road Air. Stephen t
o'ller.sivo ofllclal letter of April 'Jll , prior to i
the interview with you , that Interview , no *
withstanding my very Klncoro desire fur
friendly e.o-oponition with your bureau ,
would never have boon sought , ami that
whilu that letter remains In the Hies of Ihis
olllru without apology and ho remains of
ficially connected with your bureau tiny
oflleial relations between it nnd this olli. . i
will bo by courtesy an , I not by rlqht.
"As to ihls action original lug 'now ' causes of
of contention , ' I can only say thai thin olll'-o '
stands ready to mnot them as" they may arise
I nave already signed several contracts with
the Catholic'schools , which am apparently
glad to outer Into the now order of tilings
In closing permit mo to say that although I
of course cannot bo cognisant of how mil'
you may have known personally of what hin
boon going on in your bureau , Jhat 1 Urn ! it
dilllcult to believe from my briuf and ptuii *
ant acquaintance with you that you could or
would havu sanctioned its spirit and
methods. "
