TO RIVAL THE NATIONAL,

Indications That Baseball League
VIII Be Form, d Western Opposes it.
Chicago, July 16.-Ban r. Johnson,
president of the Western League made
the following announcement tonight:
The Western League as a body has
no idea of fostering proposition to
organize rival to the National League
and institute fight against the present
major organization. We are now oper-
ating our clubs under the national
us. | can say that all we ask is that
we be left alone and we will let others
alone. 1t would be suicidal for the
Western League to attempt to foster an
organization on the lines of the old
brotherhood for the simple reason that
it could not possibly hope for success.
What individual members of the League
are doing | do not know, nor can the
League itself be held responsible"
The matter under discussion was the
report circulated yesterday regarding
the alleged formation of a new League
Of base ball clubs to rival the National
in every way, to go into the latter's
hood of 1890.
What has been told me about such
an organization has been of purely
confidential nature" Mr.. Johnson con-
tinued. Il have been told many things
about a new league and | believe there
is every chance it will be formed, but
believe me when l say the Western
League as body hopes not 1t would
mean our death. With a new big
league in the field, encroaching as it
certainly would, on the best part OF our
territory, we could not hope to live"
Captain Arson is certain an attempt
will be made to organize a rival big
league and is equally confident it could
be made to prosper. He is apt, accord
ing to all that has been said in the past
few days, to have some connection with
the Chicago team of the new body and
will more than likely be its head.

Captain VIM. A. Andrews, known as
the Lone Navigator" who left Allan

named THE Doree," barely twelve feet
in length, to attempt to cross the At
lantic.
Captain Andrews was found exhaust
ed on July 18th, about 700 miles from
the Irish coast. His boat was left
adrift.
CAPTAIN Andrews, when he left At
lantic City, took an easterly course and
headed direct for the Azores island,

days to reprovision his larder. He
hoped to make the voyage to England
in sixty days. The British steamer
Camperdown spoke him on June Goth.
Captain Andrews at that time was well
and declined assistance.

A REMARKABLE RECORD.

A blast furnace ordinarily requires
reclining about once year, necessitat-
ing an outlay of from $4,000 to $780,

provement will be necessary at the Bel
mont furnace, but not without
the furnace having establish
ed an enviable record for
its owners, and its capable and eff
cient manager, Mr.. N. Reister, Sr. The

tons without being refined, and other
furnaces in and about Wheeling have
gone above and below that figure, while
the output of the Belmont furnace since
it was last refined has been 100000

In the terrible cyclone which swept
a path 600 feet wide through the resi-
dence portion of Kirksville, Missouri,
Friday last, killing fifty people, injur-
ing Is more and leaving homeless
some 1000, DR.. A. ID. Mahaffy, osteo-
path, lost his mother, Mrs. John
Mahaffy, his sister-in-law, Mrs. j. T.
Mahaffy, and one of the latter's chill
dren, while two other children were
severely injured. The first news Of
the disaster was received Friday
night but not until Sunday vas it
learned that one of our townsmen
had suffered such terrible loss. The
cyclone was one of themostdestruct-
i've which has visited that section
and has cast a gloom ove the
entire state. The money loss is great
but not to be considered with the
loss of life. The doctor has not yet
received full particulars, though the
papers are filled with accounts of
heartrending Genes and frightful
deaths. The sympathy of the entire
community is with DR.. Mahaffy and
wife in their bereavement.
Prof. j. NJ. Parent assigns his
special easO for the championship
of Incorporation. his experience last
year. Shortly prior to the vote
taken on incorporation a county
official said to him that If the people
of Lewistown would vote down in
corporation thecommissioners would
see that the property owners were
compelled to clean up theirrefuse and
dirt. This being the principal thing
to be gained, in Mr.. Parents opin-
ion, he consented to oppose incorpo-
ration. When spring came Mr.. Par
rent and Mr.. j. p. Barnes hired a
man at an expense OF some $l5, we
understand, to clean the ally divid-
ing their property and 1t was prop
erly done, but the gentlemen noted
that there were few other places In
town cleaned and tnat the promise
of the county officer had been for
gotten entirely. Had Incorporation
carried neither Mr.. Parents MOI Mr..
Barnes proportion OF the Ell ira tax
would have been as great as they
individually paid, while but a few
Others contributed anything. This
is why these gentlemen favor incor-
poration this year. Do not trust
much in the promise Of those seeking
to avoid the payment of a few dol
lars additional in taxes. There is as
much OF more danger from a cess
pool in your neighbours lot al there
Ia from one in your own. Vote to
have this cleaning-up duty evenly
distributed.
