All over the country professional base ball
Is beginning to settle Into established lines
once more , says the Sporting Life. The dis
putes nnJ rantentlotis of the past few years
have produced so ninny change * and up
heavals that busy men who are fond of the
game , nut tuvo not tlmo to make a laborious
study of the schemes of the sehomcro , have
boon unoblo to follow the tangled thread.
The simple and rational plan of the twelve-
club louguo holds out good promises for a
general revival of waning interest In con
tests on the diamond , and the teams are rap
idly reorganizing In n llxed group , which base
ball men declare will remain solidly welded
for at least ton years to come.
It was the intention o' I ho Indianapolis
conferees to keep the apportionment of new

Prospects for DIIHO Hall.
CITV , Mo. , Dec. 23. The Kansas
.City Base Ball club is about to emerge from
the cave of gloom It entered soon after the
clojo of the miserable season In the miser
able Western association , last fall. All
through the pence conference at Indian
apolis , Presidents Spies and Krauthoff
received telegrams from Charley Byrne of
the Brooklyn club , assuring thorn that the
twclvo-club league was a go , nnd that only a
few minor details remained to he completed
before the formal nnnounremcnt. Mr.
Byrne also advised that the tlmo was ripe
for the realization of Mr. Kraiuhoff's long-
cherished idea of subordinate Eastern and
Western leagues. The first , step toward
thoorgnnl/.ntlou of thcso leagues will bo a
call for a meeting from Nick Young. The
birth of the now Western league may bo
looked for'somo tlmo tn January.
'
The announcement of the s'uccess ot the
Indianapolis mooting was Indeed good HOWS
to the stockholders of the Kansas Cltv club ,
for they have been floundering around in a
sea of uncertainty for several months , and ,
in fact , tlio putlle was beginning to doubt
very much thnt it would got any base ball at
all next season. But if tlio present plans are
successfully carried out this town will bo a
troug organisation and President Speas
promises a high-class club.
The now league will have nearly nil the
cities of the old Western association , besides
Toledo , Columbus , Detroit and Grand Kapids
to draw from , and eight good , hvo towns can
bo chosen from this list.
"It's protlv early , " said President Spcas
yesterday , "to predict what the now league
will bo , but I leel delighted ever the pros-
peels and I am sure that wo can form a good
circuit with towns that will remain all sea
son , not cities that begin to talk of disband
ing when they drop toward the roar in the
race. "
It Is unite likely that the now league will
bo made up something like this : Kansas
City , Omaha , St. Paul nnd Minneapolis In
the west and Milwaukee. Grand Unplds , To
ledo and Columbus in the oast. Denver is
hppolcssly out of U , nnd from present lignros
them scorns to bo no plnco for Sloiu City or
Lincoln. Detroit does not stand in fnvo'r as
n base ball town , and for that reason will
probably bo loft severely nlonu. Buffalo fig
ured In the calculations as to the new associ
ation's timkoup , but It moro properly belongs
to the Eastern league and doubtless It will
go Into that prospective organization.

"Iwo days ago McAullfle cbullengeii
Myer , it has boon stated , " said Kennedy ,
"for n sldo stake of ST.UOO , to which tin
Olympic club added a pur.-io of 10,000. '
When President Noel of the Olympic clnl
nt New Orleans telegraphed the proposition ,
1 wired in return , as follows :
Time too short ( I'olininry ' . ' . " > ) , besides Mr-
AulllTe must pay us forfeits due. il.Oui , before

Continuing Kennedy ald : "Knowing as 1
do that McAuillTe Is a looking glass litrhtcr ,
Insincere and binding , I intend to ignore him
and all his bragging until ho nets the man
ai'd discards thy gulso of n newspapoi

Wo will meet Carney either in this country

Speaking of the relative merits of Carroll
nnd McAuliffo , Myer said ; " 1 think there Is
moro real nugilism in Carroll's little llngoi
than In McAuIIITo's whole body. Carroll
made moro of n fight in ono round' than Mc-
Auliffo aid in nil his sixty-four rounds , nnd
Carroll's back did not show that I had hlthiiii

farmer , living three and one-half inUos north
east of Spauldlng , on Cedar Crook , was shot
and mortally wouudeJ Christinas eve by .loo
and Nick Dnuth. ICunlz died last night at
0'M : > from his wounds.
The faoLs.of thu murder , as iio.tr as can bo
arrlvpd at , are to the effect that .loo and
Nick Dnuth c.imo from Iowa and routed a
farm from Ivuntz lost spring , having only n
team to farm with , IvunU furnishing them
seed and other necessaries , and was to ro-
colvo a share of the crop for the roat. At
threshing tlmo ho went to look after his
share of the grain and was ordered olt the
place with throats and given to understand
that he could not have any of the grain. On
Christmas eve the two brothers went to
Iv'iiitz'a housn and told him they wanted
some beer , Kuntz having purchased n keg of
the beverage for himself and friends lor
Christmas.
Ho Informed thorn that ho was not running
a saloon. Olio word brought on another
until it came to blows , the Dnuths at llrst
using brass knuckles and Kuntz defending
himself as best ho could with a mason's
trowel.
LSI tar ho was shot twice , otico with u pistol
and once with a shot gun. After ho had
been shot with the shot gun ho took it away
from his assassin and ran two miles to a
neighbor's , barefooted. When ho reached the
house Ins feet were frozen and his hands ,
still gripping the 3hot gun , worn frozen.
They had to bo thawed before the gun could
be released from his grasp.
Taking Into consideration the fact that the
brothers went to Kuntz's place at the tlmo
thov did and armed with two pair of brass
knuckles , a pistol and a Mint gun , it Hcoms
that thcv went with no peaceful Intentions.
The sherill of this county placed the
brothers in the county Jail at this place today
where they will remain at proont.
Late lonichl it is rumored that the
Dnuth brothers have been taken from the
sheriff and lynched , but the news Is not
reliable.

today of a wild scrape occurring at the town
of Lanham , located on the Kansas Hue , in
the oxtromu southwestern part of this
county , on Christmas night. A dance was
in progress , and a crowd of toughs under
took to force tin admission and run the danco.
Some objections were raised to these proceed
ings , and the result was a general knock
down and drag out for awhile. Finally quiet
was restored , and things ran along smoothly
for n llttlo while , when some ono Insisted
that the door of the dance ball .should bo
closed. This precipitated a renewal of the
row , and In the melee young Sam Cox wn. *
badly cut in ' , ho region of the heart by ono of
the toughs. A conbtablo happened to bo
present at the dance , and ho undertook to ar
rest the follow who did tbo cutting , but ho
declined to rucognize the authority of the
constable unless ho had a warrant. The
coastaolo started out to hunt up a
justice of the peace , but in the mean
while the tougbs disappeared In the direc
tion of Kansas , and have _ thu far eluded ar
rest. Lanham has for some time been be
fore the board of supervisors of Gugo couiltv
with mi application for the establishment of
a saloon at that place , but has thus far been'
unsuccessful. An eye witness of the fracas
sajs that the floor of the dance hall resem
bled n slaughter house from the spilling of
blood during the row. The young man who
was stabbed was not fatally hurt.
A 'J-year-old child of V. D. VVado swal

'Many Spurious Coins Said to Ho
Kloatini ; in Oiimhii.
Spurious one dollar coins are celling into
circulation In Omaha. It is believed that
they are the product of the Beatrice counter
feiting outllt that was recently unearthed ,
the members of which were arrested by
United States authorities.
The counterfeits nro just getting into circu
lation. Thov are being passed In saloons ,
restaurants , hotels and stores , but as yet
few unvo gotten into the banks. This is nt-
tributablo to the fact that business men have
not made their do | osits for the week.
Mnnac-or Hoed of the Dellono , Chief Clerk
Sherman of the Murray , Mr. Houlott of the
Millard and Mr. Annisof the Paxton , ns well
as several saloon men , say that they have
had a few of the spurious coins pasted upon
them.
At the banks the cashiers and receiving
tellers say they have seen a few of the coun
terfeits , "it may bo that they will como in
later through business men who know not
the nature of the coin , by having paid little
attention to the money they received In hur
ried business transactions.
Cashier Wallace of the Omaha National
bank , when asked as to the prevalence of
spurious coins , said he had received none of
them and had hoard of none being in circula
tion.
tion.F.
F. T. Hamilton , paying teller of the Mer
chants National bank , said ho occasionally
handled three or four bad silver dollars a
day. At other times ho was bothered with
a § J bank note , which was issued fraudu
lently some months ago. llo also said there
was a $2 bill now In circulation which was a
counterfeit and very difllcult to detect.
W. C. Koss , receiving teller at the First
National bank , did not believe there were
many spurious SI coins in circulation
nt present. At least ho did not think there
was an influx of the bad money. Mr. Hots
said ho had seen tunes when there were
many moro bad dollars In circulation than nt
present.
Colonel W. L. Wilson , president of the
First National bank of Nebraska City , who
was met nt ono of the local banks , said that
there were many bad coins of the $1 denom
ination in circulation in his town.
"If the bankers all ever the country" said
"
ho , "would send the spurious coins"to tha
Treasury department as soon as detected ,
counterfeiters would bo detected sooner , and
there would bo little counterfeit alloat. "

Tim mooting at thu Yoiinp Moa'a Christian
association IOOIIM of the Current Topics club
last night wai well ntlondod. 'I'ho subjoot
discussed was , "Is the Kvidont Dissatisfac
tion of the Laboring Classes nn Oman for
Hood or llvlll"
After the iv.idlnj * by Mr. l'\jrgiHon of the
Current Topics , CharUn II. Fleming opunoii
the debate by taking iho amrnutivo side of
thu subject. 'I'ho negative sldo of the ixtvu
mcnt was handled by Mr. DjHord. lloth
gonlltiiiicn presumed able ar uiiioiitwhloh
were followoil by a gcnui'.il itobiio.
Mr. Klomlug malnlulnou Mibstanllnlly that
the laboring man's ucslro was what ho could
got to uat , drink anil wear , llo also spoke of
HID ccntr.nl/ailon ot bolh capital and labor
anil tholrdlsirlbuiion.
Mr. DoUortl said there were signs of dis-
Gomonlimmt among laburlng num. The tluuo
oloniPiits In thu Industrial world wo.ro capital ,
m imgonionl and labor , llo thought the
l.iOoror , in many respects , had boon
iintrnu to himsolf. llo had not kout
up with the times , llo was simply
n macliine , revolving around capital ,
llo was discimU'iitud with his station In lifo ,
his modi ) of living , thu molhod ol production ,
his wa/os , Hit division of prollls and things
gonorally. Ho duinandeil reforms in the
management of tliu Institution for which ho
worked. Ho asked this reform of tlio pro
prietor or the capitalist. He did not dumanu
any selOroform.
This , tho.spmikor thought , was unreason
able. Thu laborer should meet the capitalist
half way , because the latter was as ossontlal
in production as was the laborer.
Mr. lu Herd also suolio disparagingly of
the de | > Jiialilo ) methods adooted by the labor
ing classes in tholr strikes , and from democ
racy ho thought tlio people were coming to
Imperialism. If such were the case there
would bo ii disruption of tlio union , and
it might result in a revolution.
Another sno.ikor thought the Itborlng man
was oppressed. They received not enough
pay for their work to keep up with thn times
and if they were maohinui the capi'atlst
should keep the machine.s well enough allod
so that they would not screi'di The capital
ist was simply an assistant to labor.
'
Anotnor s'poakur , who took the nojativo
side or Un ) argument , was or the opinion that
the discontent among the latiorpri was the
salvation of the nation. Hven the capitalist
as w * ll as the laooror was discontented. Tno 4
laborer's greatest came for discontentment.
was on account of drink. It was a curse
lit ; didn't know how to improve Ills time and
through his associations and drink ho bo-
canm discontented.
Ono remedy for the Inuorlng map , as suggested
gostod , was for him to taito contracts , and
become a capitalist. This could be accom
plished by thn legislature ) of each state re
quiring capitalist * to inalco public their pro-
tits and earnings.
The debate was concluded by Dr. Duryea.
Ho didn't like the discontent among labor
ing men ; hut lie did like dissatisfaction , it
made IIU ) . The luxury of the rich man was
a coed thing. It stimulated the laborer to
strive to got In the sumo position , i'lieru
was always an incentive fet people to got
what others had.
Moro credit , lie behoved , was duo to the
capitalist th : > n was duo to the laborer. The
latter , in ono SPIISO , was a machine. Tlio
capitalist was a necc.sbity.
To accomplish what the laboring clnis
wanted it should use reason , knowledge and
wisdom. Aspiration would turn to nerspira-
tion and keep the world going.
At the neil mooting of the Current Top
ics club the subject will bo "Capital Pun
