and discussion over this lasted until
late in the, afternoon. It is expected
that final action, in the matter will be
delayed for, a day or two. Several
cities want to be represented in the
Western league, Omaha and Wheeling,
w. Va, both making offers at the
meeting, while the claims of Grand
Rapids for retention in the league were
also put forth. The delegates also
considered the amendment to the ma
tional agreement, submitted by them
to the league at the Philadelphia meet
ing and later referred back by the
National league with an important adj
dition. The latter clause is objection
able to the Western league, as it pro-
vides that the major organization can
get player from the minor body, hold
him thirty days. and then return him
if he is found wanting.
A committee was appointed to con-
fer with the managers of the Eastern
league regarding several matters, one
of which is the advisability of playing
a series of games each fall between
the champion teams of the two
leagues. IL III

be made without the advice and cooperation

said that this was the ultimatum of his col

meeting of the Western Interstate University
Football association was held at Columbia
this morning. those present being: w. H.
Oney, representing Kansas, and DR.. Howard
Ayres, representing Missouri. The first ques-
ton taken up was whether the Nebraska

withstanding the evidence submitted by Kan

Kansas claim of no game, and the question
was laid over until some future time. Iowa

rules pertaining to general manager as it
was decided to dispense with that office.

and he was ever ready to do battle with
the opponents of prohibition no matter
how numerous and powerful they might
be or from what point they made their
attack. He was not a gentle fighter,
and in his zeal he sometimes made too
free Use of vituperation, grieving there
by men who were warm friends of his
purpose and differed with him only as to
method, but he always fought in the open
and commanded respect for his courage
and frankness even when his blows
seemed harder and more merci-
less than the occasion called
for. He was typical reformer, courage.
Gus even to the point of 1ashness, Jealous
sometimes to the point of over zeal, SO
firmly convinced that his method was the
only one that promised anything that he
was intolerant of any dissent from it no
matter from whence it came, SO earnest
and devoted that not waking hour of
his life for more than half century was
void of thoughts of how best to promote
and make effective a system which he
conceived to be conducive to the highest

differ sas to the practicability of this sys-

agree that the purpose at which Neal
Dow aimed and to the accomplishment of
which he gave the best years of long
and active life,-the complete extinguish-
ment of the liquor traffic-was most
benefcent and noble one, one fraught with
the highest blessings to humanity. In
this cause Neal Dow wrought long and
well, with steadfastness OF purpose
that knew no variableness or shadow of

permitted him to doubt for moment the
ultimate triumph of his cause. What bet

the names and circumstances are known,

family or some friend to furnish the ex

to buy. This comes under the head of

the larger number of patients and our
