Owners Decided Soon.
CALIFORNIA HAS AN OPTION
CINCINNATI. O.. Aug. lX-Whether
the Cincinnati base ball club will chanre
hands or remain in the hands of Its
present stockholders will probably be de
cided by next Tuesday.
"When Warren M. Carter of rasadena,
Cal., was In this city not long aao." said
August Herrmann, president of the Cin
cinnati club, here tonlnht. "he asked me
if 1 thought he could purchase some stock
In the Cincinnati club. I told him I would
consider the matter and eonrer with,
some of the stockholders and let Mm
know later. At a subsequent meeting I
told him It could be arranged.- and he
then asked me If I thought he could ob
tain the controlling Interest In the club,
and I told hint he could If he was will
Ins to pay the price asked. He said ho
would like to consider It two weeks or a
month and It wilt be a month next Tues
day since the conversation took place.
Figure teil.
There was a figure named during Our
conversation, but at that time I did not
consider it In the form ot an option, al
though I believe that the figure Is cor
rect and that Mr. Carter or anyone else
who. after Investigation we find to be all
right, could purchase the controlling In
terest In the club for the amount
"It Is purely a business proposition
and does not mean that we desire to sell
the Cincinnati club. If Mr Carter pur
chases the club for the amount named.
It will mean a handsome revenue for
those who desire to sell, as well as a
good thing for those who remain la the
club.
After this conversation Mr. Carter left
town, and I have not heard from him nor
soen him since: therefore 1 was greatly
surprised today when 1 was Informed that
l.e had made a statement that be had
n option on the controlling interest of
the club.

Furthermore. If the club Is sold to Mr.
Carter, the condition was made that I
would remain at the head of the club
'and that the club would remain In the
National league."
Mr. Horrnimui staled further that he
has knowledge that persons who had n
a tl'oilty had offered the controlling in

bUl club;
"I have a thirty-day option on the

Mr. Carter refused to state the amount

lit approximated $1,000,000.
"The transactions," said Mr. ' Carter,

Politeness Worth
SlOtoThis Thief
"Aw, here's your money back. I was
Just kidding you,"
With these words a daylight snatch
thief threw George P. Griffin off his
guard at Twelfth and Howard stqfets
yesterday afternoon, so that Griffin d'U
not choke him for snatching a ri from
Griffin's hand.
When the thief had gone and it was too
late to choke him. Griffin counted the
roll and found he was 110 short
Griffin Is from Port Crook. He stood
In front of a salooa at Twelfth and How
ard streets, thumbing over a big roll of
bills, meditating on a highball he was
about to buy for his parched palate.
, A smart stranger strolled past him
whistling. The nest Instant the whistling
stranger had grabbed the roll and was
whistling his way down the street.
Griffin yelled for the police. The
stranger stopped whistling, and, coming
back, handed the roll to Griffin, with the
above word, lit had so sweet a smile,
and so much the look of a good fellow,
that Griffin thought surely no evil could
come from such a man. He took the roll,
laughed good-naturedly, and even thought
of apologising.
But the whistling stranger had whistled
his way dowa the street and around the
corner by the time Orlffla had counted
Ms money.

MISSOURI ISCUTTIKG FARMS
Great Stretches of Land Southeast
of Manawa Are Being Eaten
Up Daily.
WILL SOON REACH CARR LAKE
The Missouri river has resumsd Its ero
sion of the banks on the Iowa side south
east of Lake Manawa and the high
priced farm land ia now disappearing at
the rate of many acres a day. In the last
two days the current has cut Into the
land a distance of mo feet, and has gone
eastward nearly three-quarters of mile
since the rutting began a few week
go. .
Yesterday only forty acres of the Kl
wards farm remained, and at the rats
It was disappearing during the after
noon none of it will be left within an
other week. The farm a few weeks ago
compilsed ion acres, of land, valued at
$aoo an acre. Splendid crops of corn and
small grain were growing on the land.
I and yesterday acre after Scrw of corn
that' promised to yield seventy-five bush
! els to the acre was falling Into the
! stream.
I The river la now only half a mile from
Carr lake, the attraction of the 103-acre
, park, known as Island park, belonging
I' to the Council Bluffs park system, and
the probability seemed certain that tho
main channel of the current will cut Into
, the lake, and may take the greater part
of tho park land. Long stretches ot the
publlo highway have been swallowed up
and several houses and farm buildings
! have been dragged. bai'k to save them. A
j line of telephone poles was moved twice
I this week and yesterday was caught In
the general ruin and swept awny.
George C. Clark of the Leonard Kverett
company went to the scene yesterday
afternoon and returned after an Inspec
tion of several hours. He wrote Mr.
Everett that a farm house on the Ever
ett lend was doomed and doubted that It
could be moved In time to escape de
struction. Mr. Clark explained the case
of the rapid destruction ot the farm land
at the present time as being due to the
fact that the liver has now reached a
section where the subsoil Is all sand,
which melts with extraordinary rapidity
under action of the swift current.
"No one can realise the rapidity of the
destruction unless he sees what Is going
on," said Mr. Clark. "The current Is
rushing along with extraordinary rapid
ity and the sound of the falling earth
Into the water Is almost continuous. The
cutting la different from anything I have
ever seen the liver do. The point of at
tack Is nearly a mile long, a huge el
bow eaten Into the rich farm lands. The
river Is taking It off In regular slices,
peeling off the long strips from one end
to the other. ' The earth will begin to
topple into the stream at the upper end
of the cut and a continuous succession of
splashes will follow until the lower end
Is reached. By the time the last big

Big Ogden Gateway
Case Won by U. P.
The Interstate Commerce commission
Wednesday settled one ot the most Impor
tant passenger rale controversies Which
It hss ever been called upon to review,
when It handed down Its decision In the
Ogden gateway case.
In l'U the I'rilon Pacific system an
nounced Its Intention to discontinue the
Interchange with the IVnver & Rio
Grande at Ogden of passenger business
to or from points on the Oregon Short
Line a part of the Union Pacific system.
The Denver R0 Grande contended
that as these rates had been In effect
about eighteen years they should not be
cancelled. The Union Pacific stood upon
what It regarded as Its legal right te
retire from an arrangement which short
hauled Its own lines and contended that
It waa entitled to the long haul on pas
senger trafflo to and from territory
served by the Oregon Short Una, The
principal reason assigned was the large
expenditures made by the Union Pacific
in the construction of branch lines par
ticularly to Yellowstone park and In
Oregon Short Line territory, the testi
mony Indicating that In recent year
$100,000,000 waa expended In the construc
tion of branches to enable the Union Pa
cific to serve Idaho and adjacent terrl
tory, while the Denver A Rio Orande on
the other hand had Invested nothing In
Oregon Short Line territory.
Commissioner Harlan, In announcing
the majority opinion of the commission,
said:
In addition to the shorter mlloage the
service of the Union Psclflo in point ot
time la much superior. The fastest train
over Its rails from Omaha reaches Or den
In eighteen hours and fifty five minutes
leas time than the best train between
the same points over any other route in
connection with the Denver 4k Rio
Grande.
The situation before us Is a very prac
tical one. The Denver Rio Grande
route, as hereinbefore pointed out. Is
longer by nearly 400 miles and Is nine
teen hours longer In point of time. Under
such circumstances. If no through route
