Lengthy Controversy
The controversy between brickiayers
and tile settlers consumed the greater part
of the afternoon before the state building
trades council.
The matter affecting building with tiles,
which is comparatively a new industry,
came before the delegates IN the shape of
a report from the committee on appeals
and grievances, and after some heated
argument was referred to the incoming
executive board.
A motion to concur in the report was
debated for more than three hours.
When the vote was taken the vote to
concur was lost by 5000 to 5000 Many of
the delegates did not vote
1t was then decided to thrash the mat
ter out on the floor and after proposal
on behalf of the tile settlers that the work
be divided until the question shall be
finally settled, as an appeal would be
taken before the national organization, a
vote was taken to sustain the San Fran
cisco building trades council, but was
lost.
Adjournment was not reached until I
D. m. It is thought that the mass OF con-
troyersies yet to be settled will be cleared
away by tomorrow and in time for the
election of officers.
Thert seems to be no contest on, 1t be-
ing. generally understood that with few
mino- exceptions the old officers VIII be
reelected.

Mrs. Dawson was in an automobile

tracks at Tenth avenue the express train
came in view. Realizing that she would
be killed If she remained I'm the automo-

jumped from the machine, but TO the hor-
ror of more than 100 passengers or the
station platform. she landed directly on the
tracks in front OF the train. She barely
had time to roll over when the train was
upon her.
To those on the platform It appeared Mrs,

THRILLS IN THE BALL GAME
A Play that Caused q Spectator to
Fall on "a Roof and Land
on His Head.

OF all the forms OF public entertain
ment base ball seems TO be the one that
thrills its devotees TO the core at every
performance. The circus comes to town
and suffers by comparison with its
precursors, the b~illboards. The art ex-
hibition brings down criticism upon the
heads of the contributors of pictures.
Half of the audience Is bored at the
opera. The drama attracts to the thea
ter it's thousands, but most of them go
in a frame OF mind antagonistic to the
playwright and the cast. All of them
are quick to ieer and slow to gurgle with
enjoyment of comedy or to clap their APP
probation of the climaxes in melodrama
or tragedy. But the base ball fan Is
a self~-forgetting worshiper of the game
he patronizes. During the game he is
translated into a land OF giants and
heroes and demigods, revolving around an
umpire who is either a beneficent being
an incarnation OF the square deal-or
a creature devoid OF a sense OF justice.
The base ball enthusiast admires aud
condemns vividly. II he finds fault at
the top of his lungs he records his APP
proval with equal vim. During moments
OF excitement resultant upon worthy
achievement upon the diamond he is in
a delirium OF ecstacy. when he is OBJ
,liyious of all events of the future and
the past and his present surroundings.
A dispatch from Chicago illustrates the
point. William Hudson was standing
near the edge OF the roof upon a three
story building, He was absorbed in the
battle between the Chicago and New York
National league teams. In the fifth In
ning Tinker of the Chicago team batted

home plate. completing the circuit OF the
bases. A mighty roar went up from the

hurled through space and landed upon his
head. He wa scarried away upon q

Plans OF the society are to give the larg-

and pay the best premiums in view Of the
National Corn exposition to be held in
Omaha, which will give special space to
Douglas county exhibits. The idea of meet
ing competitors at the National exposition
will be the dominant note in all plans for
the Douglas county fair this year and a
special effort made 70 get high class corn
exhibits and pay premiums for them which
will be equal to those paid at the state and
interstate fairs.
The Douglas County Agricultural society
offers $50 as a premium for a twenty-ear
assortment of corn. This amount will be

Another large premium will be paid to

premiums for the precinct collections will
be the largest ever offered at a county
fair. The National Corn show again
figures in the plans for the exhibits from
the precincts OF Douglas county and $500
will be distributed among the winners.
The Douglas County Fair association has
a complete classification- for entries, the
same as the state fairs and for the regular
classes offers the same money that state
fairs offer. All exhibits which win
premiums will he reserved and from these
the society will make selections for the
county exhibit at the national show in

their collections ready to show at the State
fair at Lincoln and will so there with

shown later on the grounds of King Ak

is to be held.
The agricultural society got much less
money from the county this year than
usual, the amount being proportioned on
a smaller vote than in other years. The
Board of Governors OF Ak-Sar-Ben de-
clared they must have the fair il they had
to pay the exponses and agreed to build
the booths that the association might de.
