NO BASEBALL IN QUINCY.

Say Amateur Game is Satisfactory to Fans
Q1incy, with characteristic enter
prise, already has its hammer out
against baseball league such as pro-
posed by Belden Hill, mentioned in
Yesterdays ARGUS. The Herald says
Quincy has been invited to join in the
organization. and adds:
Quincy has got along very well
this summer without a professional
baseball club or mem bership in q
professional league. The fans and
rooters have had as much entertain
ment as they desired and have not
been called upon to put up money to
pay for managers who sit around the
hotel lobbies and do no labor except
with their mouths. 1t has dawned
upon the rooters and fans that base
ball match played by evenly balanced
amateur clubs made up of home or
ghboring cities young men is as
as game by the So
called professional clubs and that it is
not nearly so expensive. 1t is alto,
gether likely that Quincy will ask to
be excused from participation"

President Mckinley Has a Day of
Hand Shaking - Prohibition
Special In Minnesota,

Aberdeen, 5. D.. Sept. 29.-Colonel
William J. Bryan completed his tour of
South Dakota at this place last night.
He arrived here at $50 p. IL. and i'm
mediately repaired TO the speaking
place near the Corn Palace, where he
was met by one of the largest crowds
that have greeted him during the cam
paign. The day had been n very busy
one, but the Democratic candidate has
seldom appeared to better advantage.
He was in excellent voice and spoke
with distinctneSS and grace. During the
day Bryan travelled 26O miles and made
almost dozen speeches. He began the
day with Il three minute speech at Elk
Point and his first speech of length
was made at Yankton. After this speech
he made long addresses in the towns of
Scotland, Mitchell, Woonsocket, Huron,
Redfield and Aberdeen. The crowds
were good at all the places at which
the party stopped. and especially So at
this point and Mitchell.
Meetings Were Held In the Open Air.
At 1anktOn the audience was not so
large as it would have been but for Il
misunderstanding as to the time the
place was to be reached. Here, and
also at most other places in the state,
the meeting was held in the open air.
This arrangement, While serving the
convenience of the townspeople, proved
quite a tax upon Bryan'S strength, as
we'll as u loss of time. The day was
ideal for outdoor speaking in respect to
weather. being very marked in contrast
to Thursday. There We're few clouds
in the sky early in the morning. and
there was a sharp and nipping air. but
the sun soon broke through and with ii
came warmth as we'll as brightness. y
feature noticeable at all the meetings
of the day was the number of flags dis
played. They We're small in size but
they were carried by almost every one
at each stopping place in the state.
Bryan left here last night for North
Dakota, where he was booked to make
nine speeches today.

lima and Lindsborg. The last meeting
of the day was at this place. and as it
was night meeting and had been we'll
prepared for and advertised it was by
far the greatest demonstration of the

MITCHELL AIT1NG FOR SOMETHING
Talks, Also. as Though He Was Expecting
News of Settlement,

Hazleton. Pa, Sept. 29.-Notwith-
tanding the rumors of settlement and
of concession upon the part of the op-
orators there was no change in the
great coal strike situation here yes
terday. That President Mitchell was
waiting fer information from New
York cannot be denied, as he intimated
several times during the day that
something might develop before night
When he was pressed to say some
thing on the general strike situation
he said: This has been the greatest
industrial contest between labor and
capital in the history of America The
manner in which the men have vol
UNFAIRLY responded for the strike dem
onstrateS beyond the possibility of a
doubt that the conditions under which
they labored so long were so unbear-
able that to continue working meant
to surrender absolutely all hope of
maintaining themselves and families
as the American citizen believes he
should.
The number of men who respond
ed to the strike order is fully up TO
anticipation. If the 10 per cent in
crease mentioned in the newspapers is
correct, while far from satisfactory
it is the greatest victory ever achieved
by organized labor. and won under
the most adverse circumstances. l, of
course, have nothing to say to what
action will be taken as TO the accept
ance or rejection of any proposition:
this must be determined by the whole
