EbBETS IS STILL
ON TRAIL Of
JOE TINKER

NE WYORK, Dec. 17.-Charles H.
Ebbets, president OF the Brooklyn
baseball club. said today that he
would reply to the message received
yesterday from the Cincinnati club
directors. seeking to cancel the sale
of Joe Tinker to the Brooklyns for
SIS, ,0oo
Il shall say in substance" said Eb-
bets, what I have already said. that
the deal was made in good faith and
that we stand pat. For me to con-
slider any other suggestion as to ac-
quiring Tinker would be tacit admis-
sion that / consider the present
agreement not binding.
Il am satisfied we can make salts
factory arrangements with Tinker
when the time comes. The Brooklyn
club would not accept $4,000 cash
for him this minute. The action of
the Cincinnati club Is entirely without
precedent Only the highest tribunal
of baseball could take him away from
us The deal was made with Presi-
dent Hermann as an accredited rep
resentative Of the Cincinnati club, and
i shall not brook any interference
from outside parties trying to infiu-
ence Tinker. In purchasing him at
the price we did / feel we have
shown evidence of our good faith
with the fans of Brooklyn
The Brooklyn clubs formal state
ment regarding the Tinker agreement
was received tonight by John A. Hey
dler. secretary of the National league.

Johnny Bull has ever got in into his
head that an age limit should be set
is beyond US. Listen to the very
drastic steps taken by Oxford univer-
sity:
Rule one, which originally pro-
vided for the disqualification from
the freshman sports of a student who
had resided at any time in any other
university or similar institution, will
exclude ali competitors over 20 years
of age.
Rule two will provide that in the
Oxford University Athletic club sports
no competitor shall exceed the age
of "a years.
Should the Cambridge university
agree" Sporting Life says. "a third
resolution may be adopted barring
all men exceeding "a years of age
from the Oxford-Cambridg sports"

If the Pacific association were to
adopt this age limit business it would
be pretty hard on our old Dipsea
friend, Isaac Day. How about the
cross country champion. Fred s. Rob-
bins? Neither is bashful in owning
up to so years or more.

Then il we were to go step far
ther and make the rule apply 10 off,
Gals there would be great slump in
the official market for all kinds of
sports and games. Our old standby,
John Elliott, would have to pass in his
checks as referee of track meets. Pete

football game long past the oxford
limit, and then Ed Scully and Pop Bell
would have TO fall overheard from

vice at this point, and the mark was

it did not seem cold, as the morning

tions that tailed with thermometer.

the civil war, and shortly after that
conflict ended and he was mustered
out of service he came to the north
west. The spirit of adventure
which had called him into the scene
of battle lured him out into this un-
known wilderness Of buffalo and
redmen and he took up his residence
at Vanderbilt on the Missouri river
in 1868. There he has lived ever
since. watching the wildern ess re-

Pembina Pioneer Express: A car
load of Saskatchewan wheat was
sold in Minneapolis last week at a
profit over Canadian prices. Part
of the profit came from better grad
ing on this side Of the line, which
was estima ted at four cents a bushel,
and the rest from the higher prices
prevailing in Minneapolis compared
with Winnipeg prices. All Of which
raises the query of what will become
Of that higher pricei if the Canadians
conclude to change this export duty
of 10 cents to nothing by abolishing
their own duty of 20 cents. That
their would be an immediate drop
in Minneapolis if Canadian wheat is
admitted free is as certain as the
laws Of supply and demand. There
is a strong agitation across the line
just now for the abolishment of the
duties on wheat, and it is quite
lilikely to pass the Dominion parlia-
ment at the next session. And
northwestern farmers whoyoted for
Wilson and free trade will get the
benefit as above. We can see why
eastern people who raise no wheat
land eat much bread should desire
free trade in wheat. but why a farm
er should vote to pull out a plug

went to Winnipeg. Man, a couple
of weeks ago to buy cattle, returned
Saturday evening with four carloads
aggregating $50 head. The cattle
are for the most part young stuff,
ranging from yearings to two-year-
olds, and are certainly fine lot.
Among the shipment are some very
fine full blooded Short Horn heifers
which will probably be kept for
dairying purposes. The steers will
be fattened for future markets.
1t is hardly necessary to tell the
public that the big Thanksgiving
dance given last Thursday evening,
in Zirbes hall. by the local lodge of
Royal Neighbors was success, be-
cause we believe everybody who
takes any interest in events of this
kind was there to see for them
selves. O'Connor's orchestra were
right on the job all the time. At
eighto'clock they opened the con-
cert, which preluded the big dance,
and their music was enjoyed by
about $50 people. The degree team
of the lodge then followed with a
drill, the likes of which had never
been witnessed here by local people.

Medora. Dec. 8. IN. C. McCaffrey,
of this county. has discovered a
method af beating grain farming.
He had two and a half acres of
Grimm alfalfa. He cut one crop Of
hay in June, securing ton and a
half per acre, which he figured
worth from SIG to $50 per ton for
milk production. He permitted the
crop to go to seed and thrashed it
late this fall, getting 1894 pounds,
about six and a half bushels. As
Grimm alfalfa seed sells here at Is
cents per pound, the seed alone was
worth nearly $500. The original
hay crop was Of more value than a
grain crop, and securing return in
seed Of s120 an acre for seed was a
distinct boost for the alfalfa crop.

bank cashed $1,000 worth Of checks
for farmers on that date. In addi-

quantities have been sent to Winni-

cially for turkeys, nearly $4,000

Mclaughlin, s. D.. Dec. 7.-On an
address here, Rev. DR.. MEG. Beede
took exception to the manner in
which the Indians of the Cannonball
country are treated by the govern
ment. He contended that the H.
dians on the Standing Rock reserva-
ton, and especially those of the
Cannonball country, are without
sufficient resources to maintain
themselves in comfort until spring,
and attributed this condition to the
failure Of the government to adopt
efficient farming methods on the
reservation. Local government EN-.
ployees, he said. are hampered in
their work by the "red tape" neces-
sary to unwind with the Washington
authorities before they can act.
Other residents of this section cor
roborate the statements of the
clergyman, and state that radical
change of methods is necessary if
the Indian is to be placed on self
sustaining basis. Some Of the white
settlers have suggested the organiza-
tion of a mutual benefit league
among the Indians, to work for a
