The lliiorlaM at the Head and the Wichita at the Tail of the Western The Kansas City papers have heretofore seemed determined to classify the Emporia club according to the schedule games played by the St. Joseph club. It was distinctly understood by the club representatives all present or represented by proxy when Emporia was admitted, that she should le allowed to make her own record.

To have this matter better understood, a query was telegraphed the Times on and after interviewing Pres S5 a fine feci la "COPLAND pARK.

FOE ONE WEEK ONLY! Monday, ident Menges and others, the result is given as follows: The official standing of Emporia is four games won and one lost. Her percentage is In other words Em joria leads the Western league. At least President Menges savs that this is the way the matter stands. The question that arises at this point, and about it Lincoln is making kicks, long. Hard and loud, is that st, Joseph, a very weak club, plaved elev en games with Topeka, twelve with Kansas City and only nine with Lin coln.

Now, if Emporia is a stronger club than St. Joseph, is it lair lor Lm coin to have to finish its St. Josepl games with Emporia? That is the question that has lx-en raised by Lin coin, and it will take a meeting of the Western league directors to settle it At least. President Menges states that lie expects to call a meeting of the league in the near future, and that the main object is to settle that point. The question is troublesome only from the fact of the ill-feeling that has arisen between Topeka and Lincoln during the last few weeks.

The two clubs are engaged in a very bitter tight for the pennant, and instead of light ing the race out in a manly way. it looks as if each club were letting "the ill feeling it bears the other, together with its desire to win the pennant, de prive it of the power of looking at the situation with any degree ot lairness. They are both making evervliodv inter ested in the Western league veiy tired by their constant complaints about the other clubs in the league throwing games, imcoln claims that games are thrown to lopeka and Topeka claims that games are thrown to Lincoln It is very childish to say the least of it. lhereisthe difference between the games that are played now and those that were plaved the lirst of the season. Ihe talk al tout throwing games is the veriest nonsense, but the club that loses the pennant must have some reason to give, and hence the charges.

What action the directors of the league will take-aliont the St. Joseph games is not known, but the chances are that they will do nothing. If Emporia could play ball like the St. Louis Jrowns. Lincoln might have reason to complain, but Emporia hasn't demonstrated, as yet.

that she is going to mop up the earth with Lincoln ami the rest of the Western league. In all probability Lincoln wi'd have to grin and bear the injustice, if it is one. HOW TIIEY STAND. The following is the correct standing of the base ball clubs composing the Western league. Emporia leads.

Towka has dropped to second place. Denver has forged ahead of Kansas City. Wichita has got further down, but there was no club for them to pass. This standing does not include the games played Saturday, August 20: baturday, tne 'A ttn, mst. Lot 1.

Doris and Colvin's circus, menagerie. hippodrome and Xew Wild West arrived yesterday and, to judge from the size of the tent and space occupied by the various departments of the show, the press of Kansas City and Wichita have not enlarged on their extended notices. The grand street parade was of the highest onler and our streets were tinea with peo ple to see this great aggregation, and everyone was speaking in glowing terms of the grand appearance.

This afternoon the tent Avas full and everything was of the highest order and ranks among the best ever given here. The special points are: The large tent has two rings and an elaborate stage. Here was given some very striking and pleasing performances that tended to hold the attention of the audience from the beginning to the end. The bareback riding by isses Stokes and Carrol, as well as that by Dutton and Coweiy were good acts anil ell received. The slack wire performance by Misses Purvis and Lottie, as well as their mid air feats upon the trapeze were striking exhibitions of skill and agility.

In the afternoon an exciting act was introduced in the riding of thirty-one horses by Young Leon. The menagerie is quite extensive, and there may be seen a choice collection of animals from every clime. Everything is clean and attractive under this tent, a very unusual feature with a majority of traveling shows. Captain Elmer E.

California Frank, the most noted cowboy ever seen. Be rides wild Texas steers and bronco horses just from the plains, and is one of the greatest features of the show.

The wonderful elephant 140 years old isn't seen every day, but old is there and her record of years number 140. The lions, tigers, hyenas, sea cow, sacred cattle, albino and other species of American deer are all interesting sights to those unfamiliar with them: all are well worthy of the required time to inspect them.

Doors open at 7 p. m. Performance commences at 8 p. n. One price of ad mission to all the combined shows.

Petersburg, Aug. 22. It is officially announced that the government has sent a circular to the powers declaring that it is unable to recognize the validity of Prince Ferdinand's election to the throne of Bulgaria. According to the circular Prince Ferdi nand acquainted the czar with the fact of his election and requested permission to visit St. Petersburg in order to leai the czar's wishes lefore going to Bulgaria.

1 he czar replied that the prince election would not be recognized by Russia and that the prince could by no pretext justify his journey to Bulgaria. The circular in conclusion expresses the hope that the Bulgarian people will coincide with Russian views and not permit a flagrant violation of the Berlin treaty. The Moscow Gazette says the Russian circulars to the powers regarding Prince Ferdi nand have given great satisfaction throughout Russia. It believes Prince Ferdinand's retirement now to be inevitable, and says that if he does not leave Bulgaria Russia will renounce her obligations under the Berlin treaty, which "'she has alwavs regarded as a bitter deception after a glorious If you have anytliing for sale, for rent, lost, stolen, strayed, or if you want help or anything else, try our "Want Colnmn," and you will not be disappointed, as TnE Xews has a larger city circulation than all other papers in Emporia combined.

Trimmers Wages at the Pullman Works Cut Down. The Strike Sentiment Runs a Time. High for Thoughts of a Cold Winter stops the Agitators. Brick Yard Hands to be Thrown Oui of Employment. Discontent at Pullman.

CniCAGO, Aug. 22. Discontent reigns once more among the men at Pullman. It was caused by the announcement Saturday morning that the wages of all trimmers were to be cut down 10 per cent. There are nearly 100 men in this department and for a time the striking sentiment ran high.

A meeting of the Knights of Labor of Pullman council was held Saturday evening, at which the situation was discussed. X'o decisive action was taken regarding a strike, which a majority of the Knights seemed to feel wouid be a bad thing to order at this time of the year; moreover, as two years ago a similar cut was followed by a genend and in all departments. It was thought quite likely that this fall would see another order to the same effect and it was therefore thought best to await results. The cause for the cut given by the company is slack orders, but the men claim that as the work is done by the piece and some of the men turn out an unusual amount of wo and in consequence receive an unusual salary. The companv, it is claimed, looks only at the amount earned, withoift regard to hard work, and has consequently ordered a cut in wages.

Another subject discussed at the meeting Saturday was the intended stoppage of work for the reason at the brick yards. The men were out on a strike from May until July, and are in a pitiable financial condition. About three hundred men, most of whom are married, will be thrown out of work by the shut-down which is to occur Wednesday. A shut down takes place regularly about this time of the year, and no more work will be done until next spring, except the running for a short time longer of two chamber machines, which together employ about forty men.

IXew York, Aug. 22. The Philadel phia Press this morning says: The old war of the know nothing party of America for Americans will again be raised in the presidential campaign of 188S by a new party, which comes forth like Lazarus from the tomb of the old projectors of a renewed movement. It says. However, tnat tne Know nothing movement never was ueau and tnat wiui the objectionable features topped off it still lives During the constitutional centennial in this city a preparatory convention will be held at, whicli delegates from thirty-eight states will be present.

A call for this convention has already been drafted by a body known as the American national committee, com posed of twenty or thirty men. Al though this committee lias been working very quietly, they have been for over a year active correspondence with more or less prominent people throughout the country and have laid the foundation for a solid party organization. They claim among their number over 1,500,000 persons, members of societies whose purpose is to mriocu-late purely American ideas, some of which are a survival of some of the Know-X'othing organizations of 1844. General Master orkman Powdeny is a prominent member oi tins new party and has given utterances more than once to the principles this new party proposes to stand on. These principles all start from one central idea the restriction ot immigration.

The September convention will devote itself to the formulation of a scheme to effect a thorough organization of state, county and townshipcommittees and will call a convention to be neul next July, probably in this city, when candi dates for president and vice-president and a state ticket will be put in the field. Serious KeNiiIta Expected. Chicago, Aug. 21. A Hancock, special says: The steamer Jas.

Fisk. has on board three hundred carboys of oil of vitriol for the Calu met and Hecla mine, to aid in generating gas to extinguish the fire. There are en route three hundred Ikixcs of salsoda for the same purpose. Yesterday the thermometer registered 195 in the mine and serious results are yet to be expected before the fire is fully extinguished, but the company is still in jecting great quantities of steam and carbonic acid gas. Twenty-live thous and pounds of sulphuric acid and an equal quantity of bi-carbonate of soda are daily consumed.

J. lie siiatt wui be kept closed indefinitely. Some mining men venture to assert that with the exception of the Black Bills end the mine will not; produce a pound of copper for four months. A Sensible Atlanta Aug. At the Georgia farmer's convention, to-day, Col.

He proved that it was necessary for farmers to be in dependent of negro help and that they should teach their sons to work instead of having the boys sitting around corner grocerys discussing the reasons for negroes not working.

At o'clock they learned that the other train had met with an accident at El Donfllo and had three cars derailed. They then took a rest ami did thorough justice to a hot breakfast, prepared by about fifteen cooks. Everything is done in a systematic clock-like manner, and every one knows his place. The other train arrived at p. m.

and the elephants, camels, horses, mules and cages were soon unloaded and under canvas. The circus tent is the largest ever erected in this city. The horses are mostly thoroughbred and show excellent care. The parade this morning was the best of the season and was thoroughly enjoyed by the young and old. The music by the different bands was up to the standard.

The relic of the plains in the shape of an 'overland stage' attracted considerable attention. A free exhibition of ritle shooting was given at the grounds after the parade by Stubbs. This afternoon they exhibited to thousands of people and gave a first-class entertainment in every respect, the daring feats of the actors and actresses calling forth hearty applause. The great thirty horse act was one of the most prominent new features. The riding and shooting of Capt.

E. E. Stubbs and cowboys interested the audience, as it always will. The tent tonight no doubt will be crowded. Sahliatli School The Welsh Presbyterians held their regular quarterly Sabbath school meeting yesterday.

There was a. good attendance from the country, but owing to the downfall of rain the meetings were not so largely attended as usual. After the morning meeting an election of officers took place for the coming year, with the following result: President Owen Thomas. Secretary Lewis Ellis. Examiners Pev.

John Jones, Rev. Williain Lewis and T. II. Lewis. The different classes acquitted themselves creditably.
