Weekly Base Bali Review.

The only change that has taken place In
the Western association pennant chase dur
ing the past week was Milwaukee crowding
st. Joe out of sixth place. The Brewers,
however, are not yet content and are coming
at pace that will soon carry them past
Denver and well upon Sioux City's heels. So
far as the leadefs are concerned, their posi-
tions are relatively the same as they were
since the last review. Omaha is in the van
to stay. She has nearly one hundred points
the best of ST. Paul, and is playing mag
nificent winning game OF ball. AS natural
consequence everybody is happy.
In the National league Boston still main
tains her position at the head of the process
sion, although she took quite tum-
Bile by dropping two games to
Indianapolis, while Now York won
four straight from Pittsburg. indianapolis,
however, is making them all guess. Leav-
ing Boston she ran down to New York, and
even up matters for the Bean Eaters, by
smashing out couple of straights from the
Giants. Chicago too has been playing great
ball, and has finally reached the third notch,
forcing Philadelphia back to fourth and
Cleveland to fifth. The latter team, how
ever, stands little chance of ending up bet
ter than sixth or seventh place.
Brooklyn is taking things by storm in the
American Association, and to the delight Of
almost the entire baseball world,is beating
the St Louis Browns out of sight. There
is little fear that she will again be headed in
the race. The next best game in the asso-
citation is that being played by the Balti-
mores, who are sure of third place and may
possibly beat the Browns out for second.
The Athletics and Cincinnatis have been
egregious failures, while Kansas Gay, Col
umbus and Louisville continue to founder in
the tureen; Columbus, though, Is putting up
much the strongest game of the three tail
enderS.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
Board of Trade,

David Anderson, of the board of trade,
called the meeting to order at $40 o. m. last
night. There were present seven members
Doc. Cuddington, Carol, Anderson Cocker
ell, Levi and Rowland.
Mr.. Anderson announced that the county
commissioners had voted $1,000 for finishing
the grading of Twenty-fourth street, between
p and Q streets. &
This was discussed at some length by the
members and finally approved by the board.
A letter was then read from the city build
ing inspector, as follows:
South OMAHA, Sept. 2.-To the Board of
Trade of the City of South Omaha. Gentle
men: herewith submit the following re-
port commencing with the month Of No.
vember, 1888, and ending with the month Of
August 1889: Total number of permits is.
sued, 233; estimated cost of buildings for
which permits were issued, 1907, 100; average
cost of buildings, Sl,3lS. OF these there are at
present under construction buildings to the
value of about $40, 600. Permanehce and dur
ability seem TO be the object of the majority
of those who are now building, and would
respectfully oS and 9a yps,a0a y06F attention to
in which the present buildings are being
erected. One thing is noticeable, that the
better class of our residents are erecting neat
and costly dwellings, and houses of the bet
ter class rent rapidly Only one building
was destroyed by fire the past year, and
damage done to two or three others was
very slight In conclusion, / might say that
the prospects for the fall in the building
trade We're never better, and that no city in
the United States, consisting of its ssize,
rests on a more sure and safe foundation
| than does the city Of South Omaha.
JAMES j. BREEN,
City Building Inspector.
A resolution for the opening of N street
| was then drawn up to be sent in to the
mayor. 1t read as follows:
| Resolved, That we deem it of the utmost
| Importance to the city of South Omaha that
| N street be opened east from Twentieth
| street to the B. & M. tracks, and we hereby
| respectfully ask your honor to take the same
under advisement and see that the same is
attended to at your earliest possible con-
yenience. ID. ANDERSON,

DIDN'T GO OVER NIAGARA.
The Graham "Fake" Exposed by o
Man Who Mas There

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 7.-lSpecial Tele-
gram to THE Bee IA IScal paper puphshe
a complete expose of Grahams alleged trip
over the falls last Sunday. Frank Il. Hag-
gerty stenographer of the surrogate's court
of this city, states he was fishing in the
river near La Sale last Saturday. At La
Sale he met GarriJ j. Staley, who said he
was employed by Graham to cut loose his
barrel on the following morning, and send
him over the falls in it, Hagger:y proposed
to Staley to accompany him and help
him release the barrel. Staley consented
and the two men went in boat down to
Prospect Point, just above the falls. There
they met man who said he was watching
for the barrel
1--WE also met Constable Horn," says Hag.
gerty, ''who was said to have taken Graham
out of the barrel below the falls He also
said he was watching for it. Horn and
Staley remained with me until after the
hour at which it is claimed the barrel with
Graham in it went over the falls. We saw
no barrel, nor did any go over the falls up to
that time. Staley was with me constantly
until we returned 10 La Sale. We did not
leave the point till nearly O'Clock. We did
not see Graham at all. If he was found in
the barrel below the falls he entered it down
there and was pushed out into the river"
Haggerty is perfectly trustworthy gentle.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Sept r. Special to The
Bee The Sioux City base ball team enters
tho last quarter stretch of the season in bet
ter shape than ever before as to personnel,
management and public appreciation. The
team was strong aggregation at the open
ing OF the season, but IL later got into Grip
pied condition and for several weeks played
losing ball. 1t has been greatly strength
ened by the addition of new players. New
life has been infused into the team under
President Peavey, and as manager Vice
President Mulcahey has proved very popu-
lar. The attendance at the park, notwith-
standing its bad location, has greatly in
creased. The sport never before was so pop
ular here as now,
|. The club Will be carried over to next sea-
son. Most of the members have been signed.
A better location for the ball park will be
provided.
Tom Flanagan is for SALE although he
will be kept the balance of the season unless
sold.
Crossley, OF Minneapolis, has been sigued
and will be held with the hope of securing
revenue by his sale before next spring.
Eddie Glenn, who has guarded left field,
is the most popular player IN the club.
Burdick, of Minneapolis, has agreed TO
pitch for the club next year.
Bob Black, of Titusyille Pa, is exceed
ingly popular IL was lucky day when
Sioux City secured such tue all-round
player
"Old Hossn Bradley stays, of course, on
third base. Bradley is recognized as great
talker, but also great worker-full of rank
errors and brilliant plays. He knows the
game and steadies the younger players.
Tim Brosnan Is imbedded in the affections
OF base ball people for steady, reliable play
ine-always wanting 10 win games regard
less Of his own record.
Cline Is regarded as the teams mainstay
In close games. No pitcher has ever fooled
monk" with u bad ball. AS base runner
he has no equal in the association, and ne
will be with the team next season.
,iebel has been sent to his home in Louis
vile, KY, and will play no more ball this
year. He strained his back before the sea-
son opened, and could not pitch his game.
But he has not been released the manage
ment hoping that he will be sound next year.
The base ball public Is not unmindful oi
joe Crotty's hard and successful work as
bacllstop, nor of his extra work for six
weeks, while the club was in crippled CON

FAVoRs WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
The Wyoming Convention Will Adopt
CLAUSE to That Effect.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 7-[Special Tele-
gram to TIE BEE. /. The principal event
of to-day was the introduction of resolu-
tion by Baxter, of Laramie, providing that a
provision be adopted making suffrage uni
versal without reference to the sexes. The
presentation of this resolution evoked gem
eral applause. There is now no doubt but a
clause will be adopted in the convention be-
slowing suffrage in the constitution. There
is very little discussion of the matter 1t
has been in operation here for twenty years
under the territorial form of government,
and nobody now seems disposed to oppose 1t
in the convention.
The United States senate committee on ir-
cation will arrive here the latter part of this
month, and spend nearly week in town.
They will be waited upon by select COM
mittee Of ten, representing each county in
this territory, selected from the convention,
who will present the subject of irrigation, as
it concerns the various parts of the territory.
Irrigation will receive exhaustive treatment,
also, in the convention itself.
The session was otherwise devoted chiefly
to routine matters. An adjournment was
taken until CLOCK Monday afternoon.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Sept. 7.-lSpecal Tele-
gram to The BEE An investigation by the
senatorial commission into the dressed beef
combine was held here to-day. Senators
Vest, Coke and Plumb conducted the in
quiry. The first witness was Martin Flynn,
a stock raiser of this city. MIR. Flynn's tes.
timony related principally to the decrease in
the general price of cattle in almost all parts
OF Iowa. He said that there had been no
marked reduction In first class beef cattle
and the prices Of the best portions Of an ami
NAL were not much if any higher now than
seven or eight years ago.
Patrick Morrissey, a butcher, testified in
regard to the effort of Armour to introduce
dressed beef into this city and to COMPEL all
butchers to buy dressed beef from him. The
raising of cattle In central Iowa he thought
had come to be a losing business. A private
shipper does not get the same transportation
on live stock rs the dressed beef combine, as
the latter undoubtedly gets rebate by ship
ping stock to Chicago, st. Louis or Kansas
City and then returning 1t in the shape OF
dressed beef. There is not at present much
dressed beef sold in this city, but
should the combine get hold on the
local business he believed it would ruin the
butchers of the town.
l.. @. Baldwin, of Council Bluffs, said that
at the present time not more than ten cattle
were killed in private slaughter houses in
that city in one week, the most of the live
stock being taken to Chicago and Kansas
City, Beef is furnished the hotels by Ar
mour and others from their large slaughter
and packing houses. There has been re-
duction within the last four or five years in
the price of fine cattle of about 40 per cent.
The cause is not to be attributed
to overproduction but to the manipulation
of the markets. Owing to this decline
cattlemen are going out of the business. He
said that the combine of the slaughter house
men in Chicago, ST. Louis, Kansas City and
other points control the price at Omaha and
Council Bluffs. At Omaha the market is
not opened until telegraphlc advices are re-
ceived from Chicago. Armour and Swift
run slaughter houses at Omaha and supply
the butcher. shops, hotels, ETC., of Council
Bluffs and all cattle raised in Western Iowa
mnst be taken across the Missouri
to Omaha, where these men have
packing houses and the dressed beef is re-
turned and sold at a price set by the Chi
cago market That there are rebates given
to large buyers he had no doubt, but could
not cite any particular instances. He was
the last witness examined and the committee
after taking ride over the city as guests Of
the commercial exchange, left for Kansas
City this evening. 81
