boys went down in defeat yesterday at
ternoon at Forest Hill Park, the score
standing nine to five in favor of Man
chester.
The record for winning games is not
yet broken. Every team the nine has gone
up against since their organization. they
have defeated Possibly, the nlascots
have something to do with this. Certain
it is that the ladies were out in goodly
numbers yesterday. Their voices rang
out above the din of the diamond, sending
thrills of joy to many player. Pitcher
Shaw, who twirled for the Blue Jeans,
struck out nine men, while to the op-
posing pitchers credit there arc five.
Fully five hundred people witnessed the
game While the enclosure for ball play
ing at the park has not yet been COM
peted, there were seats placed for the
ladies' while the men and boys dropped
down on the grass.
The next game tho "Blue Jeans" has
scheduled is with the Pontiacs. of Rich

Forest Hill Park. The enclosure will
then be completed. Mr.. Stein, the popular
resident Of the park, has donated to
the Blue Jeans enough lumber to en-
close the place mentioned. The cost of
erecting the seats has been subscribed.
PRINTED THE FACTS.
Mr.. John E. Utz. the present efficient
president of the City Council, and man
whose word on all matters pertaining to
granting of ordinances can be taken and
relied upon implicitly, told a represent
tative of The Times last week that at
the Council meeting Friday night there
would be stout opposition made to
granting the Southern Be Telephone
Company a franchise for six months.
which had been. however. recommended
to The Council by the Street Committee.
The Times of the following morning
contained an article to the effect that
there would be an opposition made re-
CARELESS of the recommendation of the
Street Committee.
The second morning after the inter-
view with Mr.. Utz, The lines had &C
casion to again mention the fact. and
this time referred to the former publ
cation as being exclusive. Afternoon
papers reproduced ,..e story IS did one OF
the morning papers TWO days afterwards
The only reason why the permit was not
vigorously fought in the Council was be
cause the company had seen fit to with
draw the petition on the eve Of the meet-
ing These are facts which can be Verl-
fed.

FOUR MILLIONS HANDED OUT
REAL ESTATE AND PERSONAL
PROPERTY GIVEN OVER FOR
benefit OF CHARITY.
VAST PROPERTY IS INVOLVED
IMMENSE TRACT IN LYON COUN-
TY INCLUDED IN THE DO
NATION.

Marshall, Mimi, Oct. 4. - A some
what unique and very unusual instru-
ment yesterday was filed for record in
the office OF the register of deeds. 1t
was deed from John NJ Burke to
the Winfield Masterman Burke relief
fund and conveys to the fund $4,000
GOO worth of real and personal proper
ty, which Mr. Burke donated to en-.
dow hospital for convalescents some
time ago.
The deed recites the object of the
donation and also recites that the fund
was named for Mr.. Burle's mother
and limits and describes the use to
which the income from this vast prop
crty can be used.
This deed is of considerable impor-
lance to the people of Lyon county, in
asmuch as it covers to the fund some
10000 acres of land in this county.
This land was purchased by Mr..
Burke many years ago from the Wi
mona & st. Peter Railroad company
and has since been held by him. The
land has never been improved and has
never been offered for sale.
Many of the owners of adjoining
land have been waiting for this OPP
portunity to enlarge their farms. The
fund trustees will put the land on the
market. Much of it will be taken at
once at high figure.

MAY CLASH ON TARIFF.
National Republican League Is in
Session.

Chicago, Oct. 4. - Differences of
opinion concerning revision Of the
tariff promise the chief source of
spontaneous outburst at the biennial
convention Of the National Republican
league, which was called to order at
the First regiment armory yesterday
morning by the retiring president,
Isaac Miller Hamilton of Chicago.
Otherwise, with the possible excep-
ton of the election contest, there is
said to be complete harmony among
the 500 delegates from the various
states of the Union. Rebellion is ex-
pected in the preparation of the
leagues platform, which, it is said,
must cause discussion. Committees
on organization, resolutions and Gre
dentials were appointed, one delegate
from each state represented finding a
place on committee. The conven-
ton then adjourned until to-day. Last
night the delegates listened to
speeches by Senator Dolliver, Con-
gresham Hopkins and M. B. Madden
at the armory, where public mass
meeting was held.

STARTLING EVIDENCE.
Witnesses Tell of Shady Transactions
in St. Louis.

Witnesses Tell Of Shady Transactions
in st. Louis.
st. Louis, Oct. 4. - In the trial of
Robert M. Snyder, the banker and pro-
moter charged with bribery in connec
ton with the passage of the Central
Traction bill, the. states case was
practically submitted yesterday.
Startling testimony was ELECTED to
the effect that large sums of money
had been freely distributed in secur-
ing votes for the bill. Probably the
most startling testimony of the day
was from George ]. Kobusch, presi-
dent of the st. Louis Car company.
He said he was the man who interest
ed Snyder in the Central Traction bill,
that he dealt with councilmen through
Edgar A. Mephan, and that he sent
money through Mephan and that Me-
