CHICAGO , Jan. 31. Omalia has been so
Icctcd as the eighth member ot the Western
league , the franchise of the club hav
ing been purchased by II. J. Schuman am
W. J. O'Drlen ot Chicago. The manager
will bo George Cuslck. iAn effort la to bo
made to secure the release of Frank House
man of St. Louis.
The official announcement that Omaha
was the eighth city In the Western League
was received with very llttlo surprise
but much satisfaction The visit of the
league officials last week had left no doubt
In the minds of those ) who were familiar
with the situation that Omaha would gel
the franchise ; , and today's announcement
merely confirms the expectation. In regard
to the selection of George Cuslck as the
manager of the i.ew club , there was less
unanimity of opinion. Ono or two local base
ball men bellevo that Cuslck will
provt * a. satisfactory man , ( but outers are
much disappointed that It vras not Pfcfter
or some other equally well known man , As
a matter ot fact , there are scarcely a dozen
people In Omaha who proteins lo know any
thing about Cuslck , and theio Is a tendencj
to confound him with Andy CUiilck ot old
Western league fame. The most that Is
known of the now man out here Is that he
has been connected In some capacity vvitr
( ho "Dallejs , " n Chicago local club , and
that Is hardly sufficient to Indicate whether
ho will prove a success as a Western league
manager.
Now that Omaha Is actually once more a
part of the base ball circle Interest In the
belectlon of the team and the various other
preliminaries that must picccdo the open
ing of the season will rapidly Increase. Al
though so far the fans have been obliged to
bo content with the bare announcement that
they would have an opportunity to see West-
em league ball nnd n few indefinite fore
casts ot the makeup of the team , It Is ap-
paient that definite action'on the part of the
IIPW ownria of the franchise will follow nl
once Thu league has not made up the
schedule for 1S3S , but It Is to be expected
that the season will open toward the last
of April. This leaves less than three months
in wh'ch ' lo Felcct the grounds , build the
grand stuml and various other necessary 1m-
piovemcnts , complete the team nnd get the
men into pHylng condition. The new man
agement will have to hustle and the hustle
will be ln right away. From what was said
when the league officials were here last week
H Is to bo expected that Mr. O'Urlen will
return to Omaha nt once nnd begin active
preparations for the opening of the season.
CHOICn OF GROUNDS.
Of course , the next thing In order la the
selection ot the grounds and so fir the man-
aqeia have given no intimation of tholr Inten
tion's In t'.nt rwpect. They looked at two
lotitlons the other e'ay , of which the old
Twentieth street park was one. They were
oppnrcntly not particularly Ircytossed with
this location , as they made no effort to dis
cover on what terms It could bo leased and
niero Is reason to believe that they have
another site In view. This Is said to be the
unocccolod blo-Ks previously used by the
Omala Cricket club nt Twentieth and Spen
cer streets. The officials did not admit that
they were cciiioidoilnK these grounds , but H
Is kno\n that they are anxious to locate ns
near the exposition as possible and these
gnjunds would fill the bill If thov can hi
secured. There * will be an end of speculation
In a few elajs more at the most , foi if the
grounds are to be ready to nlay any exhibi
tion games before the season coens the dirt
must begin to fly at once.
President T. J. Hlckey of the Western P.B-
soclatlon of baco ball clubs was in the
city yesterday. He was on his way to Ottumwa
to Investigate the prospects for a tall team
In that city. President Hlckey says there 'a
Httlo doubt that the Qulncy franchise will
o to Ottumwa , as the people there say
they will have $2,000 raised by tonight to
support the team.
This will leave a big jump to St. Joe , and
there Is a probability that the association
will decide to save tallroad faro by trans
ferring the St. Joe franchise to Uock Island. ,

CHICAGO , Jan. 31. C. H. Wright , a
prominent merchant of Ogden , Utah , was
taken to the Deterrtlon hospital yesterday
from the Great Northern hotel after
having created much excitement In the
rotunda by his eccentric actions. The mat
was not violent , but ho stalked about the
corridor complaining to everyone that the
hotel management was treating him un
fairly and that he was being Imposed upoi
by the day clerk. Aftci cftorts had beet
made to quiet him and ho gave evidence o
becoming dangerously Insane , a policeman
was called and ho was placed In a carriage

NCW YORK , 'Jan. ' Si Young Thomas A.
Hdlson , jr. , Is oxpetlmcnting with an nlr-
Hhlp , which ho believes will bo biiccessful.
The ship Is the Invention of Frank Sauther
of Milwaukee , WIs. , but Edison hit by acci
dent upon a gas which ho believes Is the only
thing required to make the ship a practical
thing. Sails were su.hstltuted Instead of any
propelling power. Mr. Hdlson aja : "It
waa at this polpt that I conceived the really
new principle. It struck mo that it vvoulJ
bo a good Idea to Inflate the sails w Ith gas ,
thus making them serve as balloons , as
well ns supplying the sailing power. It
would not do to make baggy balloons of the
sails , so they were divided Into numerous
compartments , which , when Inflated , resem
bled thin water bags. The gaa tube run
ning into the balloon was tapped In three
places to supply gss to the main sail and
lubber tubes carried gas to the two jibs
The compai tments of the maln&all wcio
connected b > narrow openings , the gas thus
flowing freely through the entire sail. A
rudder completed the airship. After many
failures , wo were successful. The ship
actually flow , and wo succeeded In steering
It. I believe that the Inflated sail Idea Is the
one that Is going to solve the aetlal naviga
tion problem. "

NHU * YORK , Jan. 31 The steamship Portia
tia arrived today , four days overdue , from
St. Johns , N. T , and Halifax , after a desperate -
perato encounter with pack ice off Uie
Newfoundland coast , and with a harrowing
tale of blizzards there and destitution In
the coast section ot that country. Hundreds
of mon , women anil children , dead or djlng
from exposure and starvation , with abun
dance close by , and hundreds more threat-
eiTed with a like fate , arc the brief details
ot the condition ot nffalts brought by the
Portia.
Four days the Portia was penned In huge
aretlo floes In plain sight of St. Johns , unable -
able to move. It managed 'to cstjapo by the
merest accident. Many other uraft , several
of them relief vcsscla. sent iby the Cana
dian government to succor destitute fisher
men , hn'd to abandon tholr errands or
mercy ami return to St. Johns , where they
wore still In the Ice when the Portia strug
gled Into clear water.
Close to whcro the Portia lay the lilg
steamship Virginia waa locked tight. It
had ibeen sent nontfli toy the Canadian gov
ernment with food for the starving fisher
men , but a short distance up tlto coast It
found the route pecurely ( blocked and was
forced to return to port to prevent being
Icebound all winter. Before Its departure
nowv had reached St. Johns that unlesu as
sistance was promptly dispatched the un
fortunate Inhabitants would soon bo beyond
relief.
Among the detained fleet at St. Johns
were n dozen or more sailing vessels , loaded
with codfish for Hngland and Brall. The
streets ot St. Johns were rendered impas
sable , the railroads suspended work and tlio
poor were suffering through hunger and
cold. Prices ot food had advanced untl
they wevrc beyond the roach of the poor.
When the Portia was working Its wn >
out to spa It was closely followed by the
bark Flora , and thccjo two vessels were the
only ones that succeeded In leaving St
Johns. Several miles off shore the Poitl
passed the ateamer Grand Lake , fast In the
Ice nnd In a perilous condition. The
steamer Virginia was released from Its
porllouo position after the departure of the
Portia from St. Johns , and itho position of
Wio rest ot the dlstiMsod fleet has been
loportod by telegraph to bo relieved.

NHW BEDFORD , Mass. , Jan. 31. The
third week of the big strike of the Now
Bedford cotton mill employes began with
affairs In relatively the same position as at
the outset. It Is thought the exodus of the
mill hands will continue this week. Hun
dreds have already left town. The manufac
turers have not yet made any statement OH
to tholr future policy. It Is the general
opinion that they will not make any effort
to start the mills for some time. The mill
lianda are apparently as determined as over
to resist the reduction , nnd some of them
pi edict that the strike will last well into the
summer.
Contributions from cities and towns
throughout New Rnglaml and New York
state have come forward freely during the
last week , and the union officials assert that
If there is no serious disturbance In other
big mill cities , the strikers hero will be
able to hold out indednltclr.
LAWRENCE. Mass. , Jan. 31. The C.OOO
operatives at the Atlantic and Pacific potton

A certain grocer of Kvanston. 111. , had n
curious experience lately , and ono that ho
will not readily forget. Mr. P. R ,
Klcs , of C14 Dempster street , was coirocllcd
to call in Dr. Dakln , a well known phjslclan
of Kvanston , In order to find , If possible ,
why he was , becoming , day by day , more
dangerously ill , and there eeemed to bo no
way to stop the progress of the trouble. Ho
reached a point where It was o critical
question whether to could recover or not ,
when Di. Akin advised him that the symptoms
ems Indicated that ho was being slowly
jolsoned by the use of coffee. If a bomb
shell had been exploded In Mr. Ides' frcctt
room , It would not have created any more
surprise and consternation.
Willing to do anything , the doctor ad
vised , In order to icgalii health , ho agreed to
cave off common coffee and take a cereal
coffee. It seems that Mr. Klcs had on his
shelves the original Postum Cereal Coffee
md four brands of Imitations ot Postum
At the doctor's suggestion a sample of each
vere given to him , which were taken homo
or analysis.
After careful trial of each and thorough
nalysia , the doctor recommended Postum s
THE ono cereal coffee that contained the
elemonlH of nutrition needed , and there-

grocer or his clerks in regard to the famous

Thera are liundtcds of cases , somewhat
