There is general satisfaction at the final
conclusion reached in the matter of
passenger rates and several bills pro-
posing reforms along the line of freight
reductions will receive the considera-
ton of the General Assembly during
the present week. 1t is safe to predict
q substantial reduction in freight
charges and the correction of numerous
evils with which people of the State
have had to contend for a number of
years.
A heated discussion took place in the
House on Saturday over the proposition,
to increase the number of commission
ers for Sampson county by legislative
appointment. Recently the sheriff of
county (who is also tax colleclor)
defau1ted o the extent of many thous-
and dollars and has fed the State. The
developed the fact that some
members of the board of commissioners
among the sureties for the 'tdefal-
Gator" and had refused to bring suit for
recovery of the funds embezzled by him
applications had to be made to the
Assembly for relief. George
3. Butler, attorney for the republican
commissioners, and other Sampson
county radicals appeared before the
House committee onCounties. cities and
owns the first of last week and insisted
lpon being allowed to work out the
natter for themselves and succeeded in
having the bill reported ~unfavorably.
But the proposition was carried before
he democratic GAUGES, which decided
o support the measure regardless of the
action. Consequently when
he affair vas presented to the house in
is true light the relief was granted by
N overwhelming majority of the demo-
representatives present and vot.
ng, as it should have been.

| Well, Miami isn't so much, al
ter all. The Baxter Boys. went

game with the Miami team in

ter Springs, the score being ! to
10. Baxter framed up a ball team
for the game, and with that team
Baxter Springs is not afraid to
tackle any team on any diamond.
The game was played for the
entire gate receipts, and the re-
ceipts amounted to s12l.75. This
money will put the Baxter
team in pretty good shape.
Happy" Westcott, a Western
Association pitcher, and a catch
er from the Oklahoma City team,
made the battery for Miami. Our
boys knew they were going up
against a brace game, so they
prepared for it by securing Ohm
stead from Springfield for pitch
er and Vanderbilt from Joplin
for catcher. Olmstead only al
lowed the Miami fellows one hit
lin the entire game. He cut 'em
down" as fast as they got up in
front of him.
The game was full of fine
plays, but the Baxter boys did
not have to work hard. They
went into the game to make just
one score, and they made it.
They knew the Miami fellows
could not hit Olmstead.
The. score:
Baxter-0 90 o 0 l 0 o.
Miami-O 90 0 90 90 90
After the game, and while the
Miami boys were feeling sore,
the Baxter team challenged them
for another game, to be played
at this place next Sunday. The
Baxter boys offered them a
chance to win back their lost
laurels, and offered to play for a
side bet of $4,000 and all the
gate receipts. But the Miami
boys replied that they knew
when they had a plenty.
Olmstead, who pitched for|
Baxter last Sunday, will play
with the Chicago Nationals next
year. Baxter had a fine pitch
er," eh?
Vanderbilt, who caught for
Baxter boys last Sunday, is.oue
of the finest ball players in the /
West.
No swifter game of ball was
played in the United States last
than the one between
Baxter and Miami.

TUNNEL WORK BEGUN.
McAdoo Company Starts in Jersey

The McAdoo company surprised the Jersey City
officials yesterday by putting large gang Of men
at work tearing UP Railroad avenue. under which
thoroughfare its tunnel to connect Manhattan with
Newark and the Oranges viii be constructed. The
city officials quickly realized that they could not
interfere the company IS acting under the reso-
luton passed by the Street and Water Board on
December Il and approved by Mayor Pagan.
The resolution authorizes the company to open
the street and excavate but prohibits from NOV
ing any water. sewer gas pipe until it submits
and Water Board. Chief Monohan stationed police
men at the work to stop il If any attempt was
made to disturb the pipes
X was the application Of tho company TO have
its plans for the pipe removals ratified that led
10 the tax eXactiOns over which Mayor Fagan and
the Street and Water Board disagreed, hating the
plans The officials of the company were retcent
yesterday concerning the excavation, but one said
they could proceed without disturbing the pipes
The city officers believe that the company must
change the line of the water, sewer and gas mines
and will be forced to seek terms Of the city The
resolution also does not confer the cornpany nm
limited power, even in the opening of the street
as the city board has voice. the two sections
OF the resolution being follows:
First-That such street openings shall during tbe
progress OF the work be subject to the supervision
and regulation Of this board.
Second-Ihat no sewers. water pipes or other
altered or interfered with until the n ge FtGDed
shall have been submitted to the board for an
pLoTat, and the work OF alteration and removal
shall De made under the supervision of this | GARD
The impression is that the company will proceed
with the work until the city officers undertake to
stop It, when the company will apply for an in
junction and fight the question of interference and
