The negotiations for the base ball
park east of Fulton have been declared
off. There has been a new deal. The
old Island park will be used and there
will be no Sunday games, at least dur
ing the early part CT the season.
1t was generally understood, and SO
given out for publication, that the deal
between the Wheeling and Elm Grove
Company and the club management for
the park east of Fulton was concluded
in such way that the matter was
finally settled. Mr.. Howell and Pop"
Lyle had been out and the two had
sprinted a race around the corners of
the proposed park. 1t was lovely
plot OF ground, and in common with
many other FANS" these two gentle
ment went into ecstacies in eXtolling
the merits of the new park.
Matters proceeded in satisfactory
way, the contracts were let and Mr..
Howell went out to show the workmen
where he wanted the fence erected.
Then Manager Wright, of the w. & E.
G. joined the party, and politely but
firmly notified Mr.. Howell that he had
been strolling off the reservation. The
erstwhile obese magnate retorted that
he was trodding the same slice of earth
which Mr. Wright himself had desig-
mated as the ball ground.
The little misunderstanding was not
exactly cleared up, but Mr.. Wright
pointed his index finger to plot of
land "just forninst" the ideal site,
which he informed Mr.. Howell was
the location the railway company had
to offer.
ct was big swamp Said Mr..
Howell last night, "and would have ne
cessitated an outlay of $500 to fill it
up, besides a waste of precious time.
But that wasn't the worst feature. 1t
was right next to the fertilizing plant,
and we don't propose to allow the
stencil from that institution to kill the
game"
Mr.. Howell believes-and Mr.. Howell
is right in his belief-that nothing is
too good for the base ball crank. At
tar Of roses would be more to his Xix
ing, and the fragrance Of new mown
hay might suffice in a pinch, but the
odor from a fertilizing plant-ow,
WOW! Mr.. Howell was in frame of
mind which was remarkably close to
the profanity stage. He notified the
w. & E. G. people in language more
forcible than polite, that the deal for
the Fulton park was off. Then he re-
opened negotiations with the Wheeling
Railway company, and yesterday after
noon concluded deal and signed an
agreement to use the Giles park. The
railway company will make such alter
ations and improvements as are neces-
sary, and will commence work this
morning under the direction of Messrs.
Howell and Lyle.
There Will be some improvements to
the grand stand, including a new press
box, which us very badly needed A
club house for the players will also be
erected. The left field fence will be
extended fifty feet toward the Back"
river. The diamond will be swung
around so that the home plate will be
directly in front Of the center of the
grand stand. The outfield will be fill
ed and rolled, and generally the park
will be made one of the largest and
best in the circuit.

Anticipated Early This Spring by Rivermen.
other River Items.
An old and experienced riverman
stated yesterday that, taking all con-
ditions into consideration, there would
be a great deal of low water very early
this spring. He based his prophecy on
the exceptional run of comparatively
high water ever since the ice broke up.
1t is the general run that when there
is such continued rainfall early in the
spring, early low water stages usually
follow. The weather so far has. been
decidedly favorable to the coal opera
tors. Should the prophecy prove cor
rect the packet owners will be the
ones to suffer, as it will entail sus-
pension of the boats.

His Draught.

4 Methodist minister visited the
Queen lane pumping station the other
day. When he reached the engine-room
the engineer said: what I'm proudest
of here is my draught. Here she is.
Look at her." He raised a trapdoor in
the floor, disclosing a black hole about
footsquare, and the minister looked in
eagerly. Nothing whatever was to be
seen, but tremendous draught sucked
in his silk hat. "Ha, ha, hal" shouted
the engineer. Then he continued, ex-
citedly: Now you are performing an
interesting experiment. Nothing could
demonstrate better the excellence of
this draught. Just watch the sky
scraper of a stack there" He pointed
to the lofty stack, and even as he spoke
the silk hat shot straight up out of it
for so feet or so, and then, like large
black, bird, sailed slowly away down the
wind. ''Good-by, my friend said the
minister. This has been, indeed, a
grand experiment, and l thank you for
it. My property, let us hope, will prove
unchanged" He then scaled a high
barbed wire fence and ran lightly over
the fields in the direction which his has

cit woald be funny, wouldn't II,

The stranger looked wonderingly at
the two men and Bowers hasuened to
say:
Excuse me, stranger, but might
your name be TarboX?"

ond before replying, then he replied:

You're goin' ter Dyea after grub, an

Joe TarboX rose to his feet and laid
his hand on his weapon, saying in a
quiet tone:
That is correct, but it's my turn to
ask questions now. How did you find
all this out?''
Bowers turned to the mate and said,
promptly:

yarn an let him see the documents.

AN EDUCATED INDIAN.
The Amusing Experience of a Yale
Professor in the Bad
Lands.
ITO BE Continued

To his intimates the late Prof. Marsh
was known not only as scientific man
of great ability and worldwide reputa-
ton, but also as a delightful compan-
ion, quick and witty, with keen APP
probation of humor, and narrator of
capital stories. One of these, which he
used to tell of himself with great effect,
dealt with a small adventure he had
many years ago in the Rocky noun
'tains.
The first month or two of the trip had
been spent on the plains of Nebraska
and Wyoming, at that time the hunting
ground of Sioux and Cheyennes, who
were bitterly hostile, and signs of
whose presence near the command
were often seen. The whole party re-
allied that they were in a dangerous
country, and all hands were constantly
on the watch for enemies, and were
careful not to wander far from the
command; or if two or three fossil
gatherers did go off from the main
body they took with them a number of
soldiers to stand guard while they
worked. After leaving this dangerous
region the expedition moved on to the
bad lands near FOyt Bridges, where
there were but few Indians, and those
friendly ones, and the work of gath
ering fossils went on.
One day Prof. Marsh was hard at
work on his knees in the bottom of the
narrow ravine, digging away the soil
from bone which stuck out of the
bank. He was entirely absorbed in his
task, and noticed nothing of what was
going on about him until the brilliant
sunlight, which poured down on him,
was cut off by a dark shadow, and he
looked up-to see standing above him
great grim Indian warrior, holding his
rifle at ready. The professors heart
leaped into his throat. He forgot where
he was. He strove to utter propitia-
tory How" but his dry lips refused to-
form the word, and he could only swal.
low, trying to get rid of the lump in his
throat. Suddenly the savage bent to-
ward him and spoke: ''Have 1 the
honor of addressing Prof. Othneil
Charles Marsh, the eminent paleontol-
ogist of Yale cOllege?" he inquired.
The revulsiOn of feeling was almost too
much for the professor, who was now
even less able to speak than he had
been before.
1t developed that the Indian, as a
smallboy, had been sent east, Christian
lied, educated, taught the elements of
theology and sent back to the west to
civilize his tribe; but he had not car
ried the civilization far-Forest and

Mister Tom Scott, and don't make a
mess of it,"
Rider soon saw a dark figure drawing
near them, and when it was but d few
rods away a mans voice shouted:
''Hello, there?"
''Hello!" responded Bowers. stepping
from the tent.
The stranger came rapidly toward
him, and there was light enough to re-
veal a powerfully-built man of middle
age, who wore a small pack on his
back and carried a serviceable looking
revolver at his belt. His beard was
long and unkempt, but he walked with
a long, swinging step, which told of
unimpaired vigor.
When he reached the tent he looked
sharply at the two men. AS his eyes
rested upon Riders companion a puz-
zled look came in TO them for an instant,
but he said, heartily:
Hello, mates, which way are you
bound?"
up this way" replied Bowers, jerk
ing his thumb in the direction from
which the stranger had appeared.
Going up the Yukon way?"
'Not quite"
The man looked a bit uneasy, but
Bowers. who had been watching his
face closely, now said:
Dump yer load, pardner, an camp
long with us. We've got some prime
coffee an bacon, an them Goals is jest
right ter cook on. We've fed, but yer
welcome. If yer jest in from a long
tramp dare say as yer kinder low on
grub"
Without waiting for a reply he seized
the coffee pot and set to work in a way
which showed he was no novice.
The stranger laid aside his pack, and
was soon eating with a relish, which
did justice to his hosts supposition.
When he could eat no more Bowers
said
Got any tobacco?"
Haven't had a smoke for month, .
was the reply.
That's tough! Here's pipe. Join
u.s."
His manner was so cordial and frank
that Rider looked at him in wonder.
The stranger eagerly accepted the pipe,
and for a few moments sat in silence,
drawing huge puffs of the fragrant
weed with an enjoyment which fairly
spoke for itself
Suddenly Riders companion slapped
his thigh as though he had just
thought of something wonderful, and,
turning 10 the mate with a look of
warning. exclaimed:
