INDOOR BALL TEAMS TO MEET.
Y. VI. G. AS and Y. VI. II. AS Second
Game Tonight.

The much talked Of game Of indoor base
ball, between the Young Mems Hebrew
Association and the Young Mems Chris
tan Association, will take place tonight.
Indoor base ball is pronounced by on
lockers as more exciting than the out
door game, as the players are closer to-
gether and all of the playing has to be
done rapidly. The ball used is larger and
the bat smaller than in the outdoor game.
but in other respects the games are very
much alike.
The teams representing the two, organi-
cations that play tonight are evenly
matched, and a good game may be looked
for.
The following are the players as they
are expected to line up:

not be operated without loss.

fairly begun the audience had taken its
measure, and were Kissing and laughing
In derision by turns. Some Of the songs
we're done virtually in pantomine; the
alleged singers said words, to be sure, but
the stamping, Laughing and cat-calling in
all parts Of the house created such a din
that not a word Of the songs could be
heard. The Jokes were broad and suggest
i've, and the humor OF particularly
coarse kind Before the comedy SKETCH"

Bryan's Last Tour.

YORK, Neb., Nov. 3. Seven yes
terday morning found Bryan speeding
westward from Lincoln on his last day,
work of the campaign. The first stor
Of the day was made at Seward. Thi.
is a Republican place, and there was an
exceptionally large display Of yellow
badges, fully half the crowd being deco
rated with Republican emblems Bryan
was, however. respectfully received and
listened to with marked attention.
The appearance Of the golden colors
in his own state seemed to put the can
didate ON his mettle, and while he
talked for only about 10 minutes, he de-
hvered very pointed address. Refer
ring to the appearance of so many gold
oolors, he intimated to his hearers that
the proper material for farmers to use
who would display gold badge was a
straw, for he said under existing cir.
cumstances Wall street gets your wheat
and leaves you nothing bat straw. His
brief address was devoted largely to the
denunciation Of the issue Of bonds.
Notwithstanding the large number of
Republicans present Bryan was liber-
ally applauded, and it was notable that
some of the shouters wore yellow badges.
As the day progressed Bryan's audi
ences began to swell in numbers and
enthusiasm. At this place, which was
reached at o'clock, thousands of farm
ers were waiting and the enthusiasm
was great. There were some yellow
badges, but not nearly so many as at
Seward. Mr.. Bryan was introduced as
the next president Of the United States
and he replied:
IF Nebraska furnishes the next pres
ident it depends great deal on the
people of Nebraska and how they
vote"
This brought out great cheers and the
assurances that the state was all right
for him.
The train slowed up as it went
through Bradshaw and few hundred
people assembled at the depot and
cheered Bryan loudly. He stood on the
back platform of the special car and
bowed in response to the greeting.
Arkansas Conceded to Bryan.

To Our Subscribers.

During the present month state
ments have been sent to such OF our
subscribers as are in arrears to the
Semi Weekly GRAPHIC. These state
ments of accounts are In pursuance
of the customary business policy,
and we hope our subscribers will
receive them with good will and
make as early response as possible.
II any mistakes have been made IN
any of these statements OF account,
the same will lie promptly and
cheerfully corrected at our business
office.
During the last few years the
GRAPHIC has been lenient with its
delinquent subscribers, and at the
same time has changed from a
Weekly to a Semi " eekly newspaper,
thereby giving its readers two
papers week, with more reading
matter, for the former price OF one.
Therefore we must ask those who
are indebted to us for subscription,
to settle the same Mt once without
further delay. The GRAPHIC needs
money and has earned that which is
due it, and there is no reason why
Its subscription accounts should not
be paid the same as other accounts.
Those who are in arrears to the
GRAPHIC will therefore save them
selves time and trouble by settling
their indebtedness at once.

That Country Still Working TO Push
Civilization.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8,-The World this
morning publishes the following special
correspondence from Toxic, Japan, I'M
der date of Oct. 2;
Count Okuma Shigenobu has entered
upon his duties as minister of foreign
affairs. He assures your correspondent
that nothing in the relations between
Japan and America or Europe seems to
call for any immediate change of policy !
but, with respect to eastern countries,
it is desirable to infuse greater energy
into the councils of the empire than has
lately been exhibited.
For many years it has been Japan q
wishes to secure Corea from political
chaos, and to assist it in organizing its
administration upon a basis that will
enable it to hold position of independ-
enoe, not alone for its own preservation,
but for the general security of eastern
Asia TO institute measures to promote
the moral welfare and material progress
of Oorea will Sc one Of the tasks of the
new cabinet.
Among the duties awaiting the gov
eminent few seem to be more worthy
than that of endeavoring to win the
confidence Of China and to engage her
cooperation in developing the ciyiliza-
ton she has hitherto resisted, but the
advantage Of which she can easily share
by following the course that Japan has
clearly marked out.
