POPULAR NAMES FOR RAILROADS.
Those who pay any attention to the railways and
their affairs have doubt noticed tendency to at
tach to the different roads kind of a nickname
suggested by popularity of the route
point the line. These always suggestive
and they cling because it Is much easier for people
rememb Der names of one two words than the L ST.

Those whose memories run back to times and
previous, will remember the Lawrenceburg Is Up

the Lafayette Indianapolis railroad and called the

1870, Ma M. Il. Ingalls, with his Boston brains
and New England push. A through line estab-
shed-Cincinnat to Chicago, via Kankakee by lease;
Lafayette TO Chicago afterwards purchased.) This
line at once leaped into public favor the KANKA-
KEE LINE, and has constantly increased its popular
ity. Later another organization took place and
this line became the c., l., st. L. & c. railway (Cn-
cinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago). with
running arrangement to ST. Louis. The connection
of these four big cities by railway at

that the G.. l.. ST. L. g. 9. railway and its

ADDITIONAL COUNCIL BLUFFS
Tho Democrats Rally.

Last evening the democrats held the first
full fledged glorification of the campaign.
The city was beautifully decorated and bril-
liantly illuminated for the occasion, demo-
Gratis and republicans joining alike in their
efforts to put the city in an attractive dress.
The incoming trains brought good sized dele
cations from the surrounding towns. These
were accompanied by bands and drum
corps. The Flambeau club acted as an es-
cort to visitors from the trains.
Between Z and 8 o'clock the line was
formed on Main street and Broadway, with
Dalby's band at the head. Carriages con-
tanning ladies', and other ladies on foot
and carriages containing speakers followed.
TIL various clubs were assigned places and
tho line of march was made as follows
North on Sixth to Washington avenue, east
to North First. south to Broadway and
thence to the Pacific house, where the formal
exercises were held. There were, by actual
count, $50 torches in line, many on foot being
without this mark of honor. There were
probably from ten hundred to twelve nun
bred persons in line.
At the Pacific house the crowd was held
by a colored quartette who sang selections
intended to inspire the democratic heart.
The speakers announced were Hon. ID.
o. Finch, of Des Moines; Hon. i. J.
Moriarty, Hon. Charles Ogden, Hon. Il. j.
Mahony, of Omaha, Hon. ID. M. Harris, can
didate for congress from this district, and
Hon. w. H. M. Pussy. Space forbids an
extended notice of the speeches. The argu-
ments were the standard stock in trade OF
democratic speakers, but the crowd yelled
itself hoarse Just the same as though some.
thing new and original was being presented
for their consideration.
The demonstration was a creditable one
indeed, although, in point of numbers and
brilliancy Of display, it was hardly the equal
of other similar occasions seen here In past

The criminal business will be continued

-four days to complete.
Several criminals are now confined in Jail,
who's cases will be submitted to the grand

will devote another week TO the trial Of GRIM

BASE BALL GOSSIP.
The Minor Leagues and the Folly of
Big Salaries.

The Minor Leagues and the Folly of
Big Salaries.
THE BEE has always been a strenuous advo-
cate of the minor leagues and associations,
aud is pleased to note that a meeting in the
interests of these bodies is to be called for
some time in November. At thism meeting it
will be necessary to define a distinctive line
of action, and a policy to govern all organiza-
tons that come under this class. A salary
limit is absolutely essential for the mainten-
ance of a minor league, and it is assured that
this feature will be carefully considered. High
priced players in the smaller bodies means
nothing but ind ebtedness and disaster. Not
a club in the Western association made a
dollar during the present season, and but one
or two came out as good as even. The local
club is in the hole between s. 200 and 5000.
1t has been a dismal failure, and big salaries,
a lack of management and an idiotic schedule
were the prime causes of it, Think Of pay
ing q mar $500, as was the case with Lovett,
for about $500 worth Of work. 1t is sug-
gested for next year that a circuit consisting
Of Davenport, Sioux City, Des Moines,
Omaha, Topeka, Atchison, St. Joe and Lin
coin be formed for the west and northwest.
This would be an economical league so far as
railroad expenses are concerned, and give
the different arrangements an opportunity to
make something out Of the investment.
1t is hoped that the proposed meeting will be
prolific Of good results. II will surely be of
more or less importance to our great national
game in all its ramiications. Relief from
enormous expenses is absolutely imperative
if base ball Is to be perpetuated outside the
larger and weather. cities. omaha can't
stand a &, 1900 monthly salary list, as the
present season has fully and unequivocally
demonstrated.

defeat of the former. The game was a ben

good audience assembled to witness the con-
lest. Klopf and Dunn were the battery for
the Davenports and Kennedy and Cooney for
Omaha. The Davenports played a much
stronger game than the Omahas and hit Ken
nedy freely, but not very effectively. They
won the game by safe hitting and errors of
Crooks and wild throws Of Cooney to put
men out stealing second. Tebcau's wonder
full work for Omaha at third base was the
special feature of the game. About five hun
dred people were present. The score:

The Foul Line Scheme.

Harry Wright's idea Of changing foul lines
as q means Of increasing the batting is an
other change that should not be made. He
wants the foul lines extended three feet
beyond first and third base, but in our esti.
nation it is a plan lily calculated to accom-.
plish the sought for result. The only way
to increase the batting, II this must
be done, is to handicap the pitcher
his attitude and delivery, or by moving him
back as is being widely advocated. This
would entail less speed, and infuse the batter
with more confidence, relieving him Of the
yet there is no reason for an attempt to in.
crease the batting. TIL game that is played
now is about as near perfection as will ever
be attained unless some radical fundamental
changes are made, and there would be much
danger In any experiment of this kind. The
best thing would be to let well enough alone
and ''play ball"
