what win the Harvest BE?

Base ball affairs, to say the least, are in a
very unsettled aud ominous condition, and a
solution of the problem will be hard one to
get at. If the National league and the broth
erhood actively enter upon hostllities at their
respective meetings this month, it may be
confidently anticipated that many of the bull
warks that have so long and so adequately
upheld the game will crumble away. This
will throw things into such chaotic mess
that years must elapse before they can pos
sibly be Strengthened out and righted again
From the present outlook this seems nevita-
BILE, as the brotherhood has gone so far that
there is no backing out, and the league will
certainly not make the wholesale concessions
demanded of it. What will be the result of
this unfortunate complication upon the minor
bodies is the question that naturally presents
itselfi And it is an easy one to answer. 1t
means nothing short of their utter de-
structiOn, of the minor associations,
as their vitals will be sapped
away by the older and more weather. or
carnations in their own preservation. For
mer laws and agreements will go for naught.
On the part of the league II will be anything
to down the players confederation, and the
rights of the minor associations will
be lost sight of and trampled upon in the
fight. Their players will be taken away
from them us fast as they develope sufficient
strength to warrant them place in the
league, and in this way base ball in all the
minor cities will be kept in such state of
turmoil and uncertainty that it will require
but short time to disgust the patrons, and
bankrupt and disoanding clubs and dissoly-
ing associations will follow each other in such
rapid succession that the hardest crank of
all will be glad TO toss up the sponge and cry
enough. Omaha is already experiencing a
foretaste of what IS to come, in case this
rumored war is actually declared. There
may be, however, conference yet this
month between the belicose factions that
will lead TO some sort OF an adjustment OF the
trouble, and that is what all base ball
patrons are ardently hoping for

to be in readiness for the opening of the
season by the City Polo League. Manager
Prince states that tour teams have already
been organized, VIZ: The Continentals tine
Faconers, the Morses and the Omaha Wheel
Club team, and that he has applications for
the other four which will complete the
league. Two games are to be scheduled for
each week during the season, which is to

Local Wheel Notes.

But little has transpired in local wheel Cir
cles during the past week.
"Nations move by cycles" says Emerson.
Boys also move by-cycles.
The Omaha Wheel club Will put team in
the City Polo league, and a winner, too, so
the boys say.
The Ramblers met last evening and reor-
ganized, starting out with a membership of
twenty-one.
a run to GlenWood has been called for the
Omaha club for to-day, but owing to the un-
favorable condition of the roads 1t will PROB
ably be postponed.
Ned Reading, the soldier bicyclist, has
settled in Portland, Ore, and will stand in
with Senator Morgan in his management of

OCCASION
Will Pixley, of the Apollos. is anxious to
race with any amateur wheelman under
twenty years of age in America. He is un-
doubtedly one of the fastest young riders in
this country.

will the February meeting of the National

Is that it should be held at New York. al

both been suggested. III fixed for st. Louis
the Omaha Weel club will probably send a

The supreme court of Indiana has just de-
cidei two bicycle cases. In one ii appeared
that wheelman riding on the sidewalk ran
against man, knocked him down and in-
jured him. Tne cOnrt holds that an action
for damages can be maintained on the
ground OF negligence, rs the sidewalk was
fourteen feet wide and there was nothing to
obstruct the passage of the bicycle or the
view of the rider, and second, that riding a
bicycle on a footway is unlawful. On the
latter point the court says Sidewalks are for
the use of pedestrians, not persons in
vehicles II rules that bicycle is vehicle,
and that person has no more right to pro-
pei one on the sidewalk than he has to ride
u horse or drive team there.
In the other case the accident occurred in
the street. wheelman gong in the centre
OF the road at the rate of fifteen miles an
hour approached a team of horses within
twenty-five feet of their faces before turning
aside. The horses became frightened, ran
away, smashed the carriage and injured the
complainant, who was driving them. The
court decided that bicycles have the same
rights as teams on highway, ana hence that
| wneelman is not liable for damages caused
| by frightened horses unless he is shown
guilty OF negligence.

An Attempt Made to Wreck the Penn
sylvania Limited.
MANSFIELD o., April 3. A fendish ut.
tempt was made to wreck the Pennsyl-
vana limited vcstbulc train No. 8, at
Louisville, near Canton, about 70 o'clock
last night. Eight pieces OF iron, such as
are used to iastcn "T' rails.together, were
tightly wedged into tho switch near the
little town. An east-bound passenger
train passed safely over the obstruction,
but an unusual josting caused the train
men to be alarmed, and th6y reported the
matter to the operator. lie investigated
1t and stopped the limited before il
reached the switch. His efforts 10 take
the irons out OF the switch byhand proved
futile. A fireman had been sent back TO
the engine and with the hammer he pro-
cured they were forced out They had
been placed in the switch with tho cast
ends raised so as to dcral west.bound
train, while allowing an east-bound to
pass over with only little jorring.
The switch Ia only sixty feet from a
bridge and the momentum would have
thrown the whole train into tho creek,
and the consequences would have boon
terrible. The train which il was sought
to wreck had moro passengers than il
usually has, the majority of WHOM. wero
from New York and Philadelphia.

THE FLOUR OUTPUT.
The Production of the Week Amounts

to eo,97o Barrels, or 10, lao Daily.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April 3.--The
Northwestern Miller says today; The mills
ground little less flour last week, as a
result OF some of them dropping their
output a triae. The aggregate production
for the week was 80, $40 barrels, averaging
10, l45 barrels against 94275 barrels the
week before, and 1872 500 barrels for the
corresponding time in 1883. About the
same capacity is in operation again this
week, though there seems to be pros
pect OF the average product for the six
days being larger. Two mills, represent
ing 1000 barrels per day, that have for
three months been practically idle from
the lack OF waterpower, are now in mo-
ton and will probably not shut down be-
fore Saturday at least. Beside. another of
200 barrels capacity will start tonight.
This brings the apparent output for the
four closing days OF the week up to 10, 600
barrels daily, though these figures may be
cut down by stops occurring that are not
now known OF. The -four market has not
improved any since week ago, IL being
more inactive, II possible, than at that
time. There are a few small orders COM
ing H., but most millers now report even
that kind good WAYS part. Good
figures are said TO have been made in order
to affect sales OF round lots to large dealers,
and prices in sympathy with the weakness
in wheat are being quite generally shaded.
The range. however, Is already so low that
no further reduction can be made, unless
IL be done at round loss, or wheat be-
comes proportionately cheaper. The ex.
port trade cuts no figure, a portion OF that
going forward being ON consignment.
Some sales are reported from stocks held
abroad. Freight rates are still unsettled,
notice being given that the rates to Chi.
cago and Milwaukee will be advanced
from lc TO l0c April 8, and 10 Duluth,
Washburn and Gladstone from 5!c to 7!c.

tidence in this being carried out
