' BERLIN, Jan. 23. The American note on
the tariff Is not satisfactory to the Ger
man government. A dispatch whloh was
delivered to ths Foreign offioe last night
was7 deciphered In installments today, be
ing examined page by page by tha officials
concerned.
The first paragraphs of the, note, whloh
were- favorable to the German' contention,
gave the Impression that the controversy
was ended, but as the note proceeded It
waa peroelved that various points have yet
to be considered and that Washington con
tinues to hold positions to whloh Germany

The feeling at the Foreign, office la one
of great disappointment, and although there

that there must be, a further exchange of

Influenced by good c!rar advertising.
"Largo numbers of women, attracted
, by the advertising, constantly filled
the store, and the entire line of ex

were In demand only when the price
ranged from Kt to ISO; pipes had to

PITTRBfRO. Pa., Jan 2S.-W. A. Rourge,
President Omaha Base Ball Club: Tou may
rest assured Jim Kane will report to you
In the spring In as good condition as he
left you last fall. He had a pretty bad In
jury in the basket ball game, bat his eye is
not lost and he will soon be In normal
shape. BARNET PREYFI.K8.
That meseage Was received yesterday and
threw the Smoke House Into a riot of Joy.
Pa Rourke, be It said, did hot believe Kane
was hurt as seriously as reports Indicated,
but to satisfy himself and the Omaha ad
mirers of the big first baseman, ho Kent a
message to Barney Dreyfurs, president of
the Pittsburg world champions, asking for
accurate Information, and this Is the result.
There was gloom In the camp of Omaha
when the news first came last week that
Kane was hurt playing basket ball and
might lose the tlht ot ono eye. In whloh
event he would never play professional
basa ball again. Now that this Informa
tion Is found to have been wrong, there Is
more Joy than there was gloom. Kane
made a great record at first and In every
other department of i the game for Orffoha
last year and became a prime favorite, al
though ha. worked his way to popularity
against a prejudice that unjustly set in
against him when he first came here from
the Plrtes. Ho developed vastly during the
season, became the best pinch hitter on
the team, stole bases with the best and
was up to every trick and turn, always
taking long chances that sometimes cost
him errors. Bijt above all he is hot a rec
ord ballplayer.
Cornhuskers
Hbpe for More
Two "Victories Over Ames Make
Nebraska Men Feel Confident of
Farther Sucoecs.
LINCOLN, Jan., 23. (Special.) With two
victories; over Amea nailed to their credit,
tha, Cornhusker baket ball shooters are
again In lino for taking the championship
honors In tho northern section of tho
Missouri valley conference league. When
Drake cornea here for two games next
Friday and Saturday, the local flva will
be able to tell how It Is to .come out In
tho race.
If two gmes can' be won from tho
Deo Moines school the Cornhuskers will be
placed with half of the series to . their
side and they will-have to be defeated in
all four games thai will be played In re
turn at Ames and Drake In order to be
thrown out of the race. The two games
with Drake here this week and one with
oach Ames and Drake on the return
would assure the local five of the title
again this winter and give it a chance p
meet .the southern champions for the val
ley prize.
In local otrclefl. however, Drake Is
thought to be a atlffer proposition than
the Amee Aggies proved, and the Corn-
noskars ers likely to have a hard time
taking. two gomes front:-the Dea Moines
players at the end of this week. Amea
was a much bettor, aggregation, than the
five that represented that school last win
ter And nearly handed the Cornhuskers
two . defeats. Only brilliant playing at
tho closing of each same allowed the Ne
braek quintet to nose out victory.
" rWlth the" end of examination week will
come the inauguration of training for tho
Indoor track meets, of which there will be
three. The first contest Is - scheduled for
February S between the fraternities. On
February 11 the ."barbs' will Jiold their
meet to select men for the clash - with
the fraternity men on Charter day. Febru
ary 15. Last winter . the non-fraternity
men won the annual most by a small' mar
rln. This year1 their chances of repeating,
the performance arc good. -
These local contests will give the Corn
huskers a chance to work out for the big
Indoor meet, to be hold In the Omaha
Auditorium early In March. Dr. Clapp,
who haa charge of the track men now,
ssys there are more men doing Indoor
gymnasium track work this winter than
he haa ever seen here before. He says
the reaaon for this is found In the desire
of the men to get In the lists at Omaha.
In other years thy had nothing to en
courage them to do winter work, but the
Omaha meet this season has proved a big
Inducement to training. ,
The outlook Just now Is that the games
at Omaha will be patronised by many
athletes. Word haa come to Dr. Clapp
and Manager Eager from Iowa, Ames,
Grlnnell and Kansas to the effect that
each of those schools will send between
ten and fifteen men to participate. Other
schools will send contingent . of five or
six athletes.

Many of the present members of the

business, but nevertheless, contract
ing for so much ' advertising was -a
bold move, and It Is therefore most
gratifying to say that the returns
ware splendid and the advertising
well paid for itself. t
"It would not do to end wlthnutf not
ing the fact that this advertising dis
posed of medium priced and moder
ately priced cigars and merchandise
beyond all expectation.
'The fact that the campaign was so
suooessful and that the entire adver
tising appropriation was confined to .
The Omaha Eve, when there were
three dally papers clamoring for the

dom of devoting all of one's energies
to a certain crowd, or populace, and
getting all possible from them rather
than scattering shot and spi-nd'ng
one-third of the amount with each of
three papers.' thereby reaching three
times as many people with only one
third .the force."

Gotch Says
Jeff Gan Come
Back Easily
r.
Declares He is Now in 'Good Form
ajid Will Be Normal When He
' Meets Johnson.
Frank Gotch, champion wrestler, who Is
traveling with Jeffries, says Jim Is O. K.
and will whip Johnson. He sums up the
case In these words:
I believe I 'have been associated with
James J. Jeffries long enough to be able to
write accurately about him. 1 n all the
time that I have been with him 1 hav
not discovered any weakness In the retired
champion's makeup, and I can see no rea
son why he should not go into the ring
Juiy 4 In the very bet condition.
I do not agree with the pcsstmlxts that
he has suffered" oy his long layoff from
active pugillstlo duty, and 1 am firm in tn j
belief that he will be very nearly as good
as the Jeff -who mowed down Runlin, t'ltz
slmnions, Corbett, bharkey, et al., If not
s good as he ever1 was. ,
Many Questions have been raised about
Jeffries since hi; first announced that he
woum light joiihson. Ths cry from every
Quarter of the globe haft been: "He can i
get baf k In shape. He may be able to go
a rew rounds, out in a long fight he
surely will be whipped by the colored fel
low."
Everyone knows that I take' good care
or. myself, and l arn free to confess that I
am about all in after a fifteen-minutes'
stunt on the mat. Walt till Jeff gets into
his training camp and does a few stunts
in tne mountains and you will see how
good his wind Is.
He will have plenty of breathing capaotty
because I know; his lungs have not been
nurt during his ans-nce from the rinnr. All
he netds Is plenty of good, hard work and
ne will go into the ring In fine fettle.
The other day we wrestled for a half
nour and he finished fully as strong as I
did. . Of course, he Is not a finished g rap
pier, but he gave me a hard battle.
I was forced to use the Uraoao-Roman
style of wrestling, "because he did not want
me to work on his legs. In the thirty mln
utes that we were tussling I was able to
pin mm down btit ones. This should show
how great. Is his strength, because he
knows little of the wrestling game.
Those, who have been doubunir Jeffries'
sincerity and his seal in training for John
son snouia travel with him for a while.
Uhey soon would become believers in him.
When I started out with the Frasee show
I was not a great admirer of Jeffries. In
fact, I was one of the doubters, but 1 have
grown to see that he is honest and that he
Is working as hard as any man could to
gt-t Into shape.
I have left the columns of the doubters to
be one of his staunchest supporters, and
the main reason for the change- Is the
manner or life Jeff Is living. He Is follow
ing the straight ah narrow path, and if he
Is beaten It will not be because he has
dissipated while preparing tor the fight.
In the eight weeks that I have been with
him I havt not seen him take a single
urink, and I think I am safe In saying
no liquor hai passed . his lips In that
time. y
Another great- point hi favor of Jeffries
Is his determination. If ever a man had a
set purpose, that man Is Jeff, and the pur
pose Is to defeat Johnson. While he is go
ing .lo fight for one of th greatest sums
a lighter evrr commanded, I really be
lieve the pleaiiure of deflating Johnson
would be a greater reward for him than
all the money in the world.
He would not stall for a second In order
to enhance his profits from the pictures of
the Dout, or tor any other reason, and
when the fight comes off, my opinion on
this matter wilt be proven true.

Leniro to Stay Fixed,
LAMRO, 8. P., Jan. 21-(Speclal.) Tha
people of Lamro wish to correct a mis
taken Impression which has become current,
to the effeot that the building and busi
ness of the town were being moved to the
new townslte of Winner, two miles north
of here, because the .latter place was on
the survey of the proposed extension of
the Northwestern from Dallas. This report
Is erroneous, as the business men of Lamro
are not moving and have no Intention of
moving to Winner or any other site. They
do pot credit the claims' of the new town
that the railroad will miss Lamro by two
miles, and It would not Influence their In
tentlon to stand fast In the old town If
the thing was assured. The report that
the town was moving ffrew out of the fact
that two of the four bank in Lamro had
been moved to 'the townslte of Winner,
together with one of the four hotels, one
hardware firm and one general store. Ths
removal of these firms does not affect ths
business of Lamro, except to remove a con
gested cmdftlon in these lines. The busi
ness houses 'moved were bought bodily by
the promoters of the new townslte. Lamro
being the county seat of Tripp county, It
is not worrying Over the matter, but wishes
a correction of the report that It no longer
exists. It Is one of the llvest wires In the
county and Is growing, as Is evidenced by
the completion of a new $8,000 school house
this winter.

another victory over the Ames Aggies at
the university armory Saturday, and put
the local five another notch nearer the
championship title of the Missouri valley
The game was desperately fought, and a
lead that the visitors gained early in the
Second half was only overcome by rapid
fire passing on the part of the Cornhuskers
In the closing minutes of tho game, when
two brilliant throws by Captain Perry
placed the score at to 27 In favor of his
team.
The sturdy Aggies frogi the Iowa state
sonooi battled with grim determination
throughout the contest and shot baskets
with such precise aim that they held the
score to If to 16 In the first session and
nosed Into the lead by five points In the
riist ten minutes of the last round. Much
faster team play marked the work of the
farmers tonight than was displayed yes
terday.
Captain Perry starred for t.'io Cor'nliusk-
ers, Betting five goais from fleijl and kocp
ing his guard fro.rv once locating (lie bas
ket. His activity In racing alter tho ball
permitted him to break up many passes by
the Aggies that probal: would have re
suited In goals.
But even Hie hard worlt of Captain Perry
would not hove netted the Cornhuskers a
victory had not fresh, men been sent Into
the tame for Nebraska In the last session,
Jones and Schmidt replaced Hutchinson
and lngerspll, respectively, and Infused the
ginger that forced Ames to defeat. Hchmlut
put the ball In the rings twice during the
first five minutes of his play, while Jones
dropped It Into the netting once during that
period. At left forward Herbert was
real hero and dropped the. ball Into the
hole for fivt goals from field and five from
fouls, making a total of fifteen points that
he earned.
Veltrop, center, was a puzzle for his
opponent, Petrashek, and nearly snatched
away the Cornhusker's glory.

NO APPLICATIONS TfBT ENTERED
Commissioner Dennett Says Alaska
- Claims All Held Up.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Aecordlng to a
statement issued today by Commissioner
Dennett of the general land office, none of
the applications to enter Alaska coal lands
has passed to entry. It Is also shown that
of tho Alaska coal cases preliminary ad'
verse reports have been received covering
about 700 entries. The Cunningham group
of thirty-three entries, upon whloh payment
was made In 190$ and 1907, and which wilt
cut an Important figure tn the Balllnger-
Plnchot inquiry, are now in hearing upon
adverse report of agents. Final reports
nave oeen received upon about 100 entries,
upon a large number of whloh the general
land office has recommended criminal pro
ceedings . Adverse proaeedlngs to cancel
entries have been directed upon most of the
entries finally reported upon by agents.
In the United States at large final ad
verse reports from agents have been re
ceived during the last twelve months upon
cases Involving over 150,000 acres of land
within the United States. Much of this
la coal land.
It appears from these reports made dur
ing the last eight years, coal lands within
the United States have been obtained by
fraud to the extent of more than 60. 000
acres. These entries usually cover the
very best of the coal and are estimated as
being worth $10,000,000. It Is declared that
if mined on a royalty sufficiently low to
enable independent operators to compete
with existing coal combinations the returns
to the government would reach over $100,-
000,000. All of these patent are from five
to eight years old.
Indications are that the fiscal year end
ing June, 1910, will show 50,000 acres of pat
ented land recovered and that the cash
collections will approach or exceed the
$1,000,000 appropriated for the work. Re
ports Involving over $3,000,000 In timber tres
pass also have been made during the year.
Suits have been filed tn many of the cases.
During the six months ending January 1,
$347,621 was collected on account of public
lands and during the fiscal year 1908-0t),
$403,441. The collections for the entire pre
ceding four years were less than $500,000.

DEAD WOOD, S. D., Jan. M. (Speclal.)

criminal cases for th February term of
ths olrcult court will commence here early
In February The November term was only
completed a week ago and It was expected

If this Is don th Jury will be drawn nuxt
week and trial commenced as soon as they
can be secured. Among. the criminal eases
to corns uo are two against Freeman

strictions and official protection thrown
around the Indians deprives them .of th
most civilizing Influences snd that as they

tholr own affairs In small business trans
actions to better fit them for the greater
responsibility of protecting the title to
their land as they get it later.

mood and will not submit to the restrictive
rules.
