It created a great sensation in the baseball world and, under the then existing rules threats of expulsion were freely made, and prob ably would have been carried out at the next annual meeting of the old associa- tion, to be held in March. 1876. This sltu- ation gave Hubert his opportunity, and willie the officials of the old association under whose management the game had suffered such a setback were airing their intention of expelling the above named players, Hubert was quietly at work formulating plans o organize a new as- sociation to supplant the old. Mir Hubert had little difficulty in bringing the four western clus-St. Louis, Cincinnati Louis- vile and ChicaSo-into this revolutionary scieme, and after this was quietly ac- compished Mir.

Advanced and Prospered.

''The game advanced and prospered at first under the new regime but In the early seventies a dark cloud gradually made its appearance on the baseball hori- zon, caused by the demoralizing in- fiuenees that always follow extensive
 gambling on athletic events or sports of any kind. Every large city had its base ball poolroom. and nearly every grounds had it's betting pavilion. Thousands of dollars were wagered on all important matches, and 1t was no unusual sight to see players in uniform making bets with men in the audience. The attendance dropped away, and the baseball grounds in several of the large cities became sim ply in exchange fo. the gamblers to carry ol their business. In 1875 these conditions became intolerable. professional baseball was at deaths door, and many predicted

Boston, highly respected, a director in
a half a dozen corporations, and senior
member of the firm of Nash, Spaulding
& Co., Broad street commission mer-
chants, was found dead in his room
at the Grand Union hotel, under cir
cumstances that pointed at first to his
possible murder, then to his suicide
and last to death from natural causes.
There is even yet somewhat Of mys-
terry in the case, and the police are
looking for a woman who accompanied
him to the hotel and was registered as
Mrs. Reed" She was not Mrs. Reed.
She disappeared from the hotel, wheth-
er after his death or before, it is not
known.
The first known of Mr.. Reeds death
was when a chambemaid went to room
No. 800. She entered with a pass key,
and was startled to see Reeds body
lying upon the bed. DR.. Drury, Of
Bellevue, who was called, refused to
take the man to the hospital, saying
that he had been dead several hours
probably eight.
The authorities profess to believe
that Reed died of heart failure, de-
spite the fiat assertions of the family
physician to the contrary. Several de-

FOLK vETOES THREE BILLS.
M~issOuri's Governor Has Already
Found Three Bills That Do Not
Meet His Appreciation.

Jefferson City, Mo-, March 21.-Gov.
Folk has vetoed three bills passed by
the Forty-third general assembly. The
first was Buchanan's reform school
bill, which requires the state to pay all
the expense of maintaining inmates of
the reform schools. The governors
reason for vetoing this bill is that in
attempting to amend the statute it
struck out the misdemeanor clause,
thereby leaving $50 boys unprovided
for.
The second was the bill providing
that a diploma issued by any school
in the state in which certain designat-
ed subjects are taught shall entitle the
holder to a teachers. certificate. The
governors avowed reason for not ap-
proving this was that it is dangerous
and arbitrary in its provisions
The other was the bill which pro-
vides for a circuit court at %Indepen-
dence, Jackson county. This bill was
vetoed because the governor says there
is no necessity for the establishment
of this circuit at Independence.

IST. LOUIS MURDER MYSTERY
Mrs. Page, Rooming-House Keeper
and Clairvoyant, Murdered.
ia Was Found strangIed to Death
In Her Room, With Evidence of
Robbery Present.

st. Louis, March 21.-Mrs. Mary
Page, a sp~iritualist and c%lairvoyant,
was mysteriously murdered Sunday
night in her room, 2211 Market street.
The body was found at 7:3O a. M, by
Michael Church, who has been accus-
toned to performing chores for Mrs.
Page.
The murder of Mrs. Page was con-
Quoted SO quietly that Mr.. and Mrs.
James Lewis, who occupied a
adjoining that where the crime was
committed, heard nothing to arouse
their suspicious.
Mrs. Page vas strangled to death,
and the method is on a par with the
work of the Strangers of Paris.
When found the hands of the dead
woman were bound behind her, and
her ankles were bound with a strong
cord.
A strong towel was bound over her
mouth, and was drawn as tight as the
efforts of a powerful man could draw
it. The towel was spread out, SO that
it covered her nostrils as well, and it
was absolutely impossible for her to
have drawn a breath after the cloth
was fastened on her head.
There are finger prints on her
throat, showing that after binding and
gagging her she was choked, so as to
expedite death.
Robbery was evidently the motive,
for the room was thoroughly ran
sacked, and the valuables and money
that the woman was supposed to pos
sess are missing.
The police are at sea, but are using
the dragnet in the hope of getting
some clew to the identity of the muir
derer.
Patrick Condor, said by the police
to be an eX-convict, with a record of
murder, has been arrested on GUS
picion.

PIPE LINE STRIKES A SNAG.
Board of Supervisors Refuses Oil
Trust Permission to Lay Pipes

Peoria, ILL.,, March 1.-THE Prairie
Oil and Gas Co., Kansas branch of the
Standard Oil Co, has been refused per-
mission to lay their pipe line it is con

across certain highways, by the board
of supervisors in this county.
Members of the board declined to be
moved by the arguments of Attorney
Charles P. Thurston, who spoke in the
interests of the trust, and urged that
permission be granted. The super
visors assert that authority lies with
the highway commissioners of the ter
ritory affected.
Should the trust find it impossible to
remove this legal obstacle it will mean
that work on the pipe line must stop
at once.
