MILES SAYS LEAGUE
INTENDS TO PLAY ON
President of Nebraska Base Ball
Organization Declares There
May Be Few Changes.
FINE CHANCE FOR GOOD PLAYER

HASTINGS. Neb., Feb. 14.-(special
Telegram 1.-THE Nebraska State base
ball league will not disband for this sea-
son. but on the contrary will be in the
game stronger than ever" declared Presi-
Dent c. J.. Miles today, referring to re-
ports that the league would quit playing
anti 1916.
"The report,is absolutely unauthorized
he said.
"Kearney may not be in the league this
year, but have received no official word
that any other club is thinking Of
dropping out"
No Thought of Quitting.
There has been no suggestion to me
from any source that we quit playing for
n year II has been reported that York
might offer its franchise for sale, but
when asked the president at York If
That was the ultimatum, / received an
emphatic No
March / is the time for the clubs to
heposit their forfeit money and IL any
club drops out at that time its place
will be quickly filled,
"The league could not disband for a
year even If there was disposition to
DO so, because we would not only forfeit
our membership in the National associ-
alton, but would navesto release all our
players and next year It would be a csse
of organizing all over again.
Easier to Get Players.
Players will be easier to get this year
than any other since the league was
organized owing to the fact that the
higher class clubs are reducing the limit
of men that can be carried and the ex-
pense for each club this season ought to
be smaller than BEFORE"
President Miles regards the league as
being stronger now with, Fairbury as q
member In place of Superior. He says II
any clubs should drop out he has assur-
ances from two other towns that they
will buy the franchises IL they can get
them at the right terms.

in THE STATE HOUSE CELLAR
Tragic Fate that Befell Beautiful
Belle Who Had to Work in
a Dungeon.
OEDIoATED no PURE ECONOMY
tRy q staff Correepondent.l


LINCOLN, Feb. 1A-(Special. THE
state house basement, low-ceilinged damp
and lily ventilated, does not furnish the
most pleasant quarters in the world in
which to work. according to the clerks,
especially those OF the feminine sex who
are employed in the offices located there.
When the legislature comes many of
the state offices are forced TO move out
OF pleasant quarters to otherwise unusued
rooms about the building. These quarters
are but temporary and with this one
solace the emigres must be content.
I'm passing" and the phrase Is used
advisedly. one young woman employe has,,
however, given voice to her sorrow in a
threnody Of stirring pathos. The poetess,
whose identity Is concealed, has gained
some fame by the sale OF other verses.
The "Cellar sobs' are in ten verses, as
follows:
Listen, friends, and you shall hear
or a story sad and drear,
And you'll shed a briny tear
That l know;
Sr t5o sEs sbods ro s6a Sss S " Sleep
Makes the nerves go creepy creep
With it's woe.
Blue of eye and brown OF hair,
Tall she was, q height most rare,
Monstrous big;
For the state she went TO work,
Not to dawdle or to shirk,
Nor to gossip or to smirk,
But to dig.
Faithfully she worked ana well
Did this long and lanky belle,
That is why | hate to tell
How she Jared.
at. lxnl t..s. In "a
Where she daily grew more yeller.
Did she weep and wall and beller?
No one cared!
So she went from day to day
Down the smelly hall and gray
And met spectres on her way
Black and grim;
Odors, spider-webs and hats,
Dust and damp. and weird black cats,
Lizards, bugs and sewer rats
Lean and slim.
Germs she swallowed by the peck,
Big fat juicy germs. By Heck
And became nervous wreck
Pale with fear.
She who used TO be winner
Thinner grew. We gods, still thinner,
Till you'd swear she had no dinner
For year.
Well, at last the family's pride
Lay her down upon her side
And one dreary night she died
All alone.
Came the state house rats in flocks
And they chewed her dark brown locks,
Ate her clothes cen TO her socks,
Gnawed her bones
When the 5anitors appeared
In the morn, thing more weird
Than they'd ever seen or heered
Struck their sight;
! For the girl who once was Belle
Sure enough had gone TO hell.
Bones alone were left to tell,
Stark and white.
So they gathered up the mess
That once sported a blue dress
And with fitting soiemness
Laid her low.
They took out few big stones
| From the floor and put her bones
There, and with some signs and means
Let her go.
Now they say that 1t is true
That at night time dressed in blue
Does she walk the long hall through
And she shrieks;
And calls curses on the head
\ OF the ones that made her dead,
Gives them Nightmares in their bed,
| Weeks ana weeks
And so every wretched Teller
! Who helped send her TO the cellar,
/ Where that gruesome fate befell her,
/ Pays his due.
For she's taking out her spite
And they're seem things at night,
Long and hairy things that bite
| And that chew.
