The Metcalf boom for the I. S.

Another million dollar rain has
struck this section of the country and
as a result the crops are now assured
with just a little moisture now and then
to keep the thing going.
The Lincoln Journal says that "300

This week's issue of the Union
Ledger contained a pictorial write-up
of that hustling little city which was
a credit to the town. Harry Graves
gets out a good paper anyway but
this time he spread himself. The
edition was all right if he had not put
in the picture of Mayor Dahlnian of
Omaha and tried, to pass it off as the
editor of the Ledger.
Those county commissioners of Oioe
county certainly showed themselves
in J0 men of pretty small cannre
in refusiug the court room in the court
house at Nebraska City to Air. liryan
just because they did not agree with
the sentiments which the latter ex
pected to promulgate in his address.
If they were not so shortsighted that
thev are hopelessly blind they would
bcc that their action would help draw
crowds to hear the great commoner
and the fact that they would not
let him have the court house will not
keep him from speaking in Nebraska
City and draw'much bigger crowds
than lie otherwise would had he been
allowed to use the court house. We
don't know whether those commission
crs are democratic or republican,
whetherc they are iusurgents or stand
patters, or whether they arc white
men or black men, but they arc cer
tainly not fair men at all and show
themselves to be pretty small pota
toes.
Congressman Norris' new schrmc
to have the "pie counter" eliminated
from congressman so that the con
gressman and senators will not have
patronage to dispense and have al
offices filled by an election of the oc
cupants by the people looks mighty
good as a vote catcher. About the
first thing a congressman does when he
finds that the pic counter patronage
is slipping from his grasp is to hate
out some idea that will look good to
the voter in order that he can make
himself sure of getting back at the ol
job. It doesn't make any difference
if it is practical or" not. The more
foolish it appears, many times it is
the best vote catcher. Anything that
is best vote getter. Anything which
will appeal to the people and make
them think that they are going to
have a say-so is resorted to in orde
to get the votes. It is the old demo
cratic schemcof appealing tothe people
on any old platform that will catch the
votes. Congressman Norris sees the
end of his rope and he wants to fix
matters so that his successor will not
have the things which he has enjoyed
in the past and which he has now
lost by bucking his own party. Norris
is a good "starter" but a poor "fin
isher. His grand stand play to put
Speaker Cannon out of business which
failed because Norris did not have the
nerve to carry it out when victory
was iu his grasp has not inspired people
of his state with any great idea that
he is as much of a man as he himself
thinks.
Lincoln has unconditionally re
leased George Hogricver as a member
of that elub. Mr. Hogriever has been
playing professional ball something
over twenty one years. During that
time he has played in the national lea
gue and a few years ago was a member
of the Des Moines team in the West
ern leaguc.staying with that team till
last year when lie was purchased by
Pueblo, he managed that team until
about the middle of the season when
he was bought by Lincoln to fill the
hole at third base which had been
weak all season. Should he leave the
Western league he will be greatly
missed, for he was always in the game,
and while no player was ever more
universally howled at than "Hoggy"
as he was familiarly called.cvcrliody
recognized me laci mat lie was a
ball player with few equals. Always
an agressivc player on the field and
fighting every inch for his rights he
achieved a reputntion as some
thing of a "kicker,"fom the fans all
over the circuit and Lincoln fans
especially had it in for him whenever
he appeared on the coaching line as
a member of a visiting team. However
to know him personally one soon
learned to get a better idea of him
and after moving to Lincoln the fans
there soon changed their minds am
learned to admire him for his gentle
manly qualities while off the field
Should ho leave the Western he will
be greatly missed.for notwithstanding
his aggre.sjyvencss he was a live wire
at all times and in the estimation of
many pitchers the most dangerous
man at bat in a pinch. We regret
very much that Lincoln has seen fit
to let him go, but conditions are such
that the management thought other
wise, probably the fact that he is a
high priced player may have something
to do with it though they recognize
his ability as a utility player. We
hope to see himc ontinue in the
Western.
and ball player and this year turned
down a very flattering offer to enter
professional rnnfcs. Under his manage
ment none but the most desirable
players are allowed on the team.
Every Indian is a gentleman both on
and off the field and it is a pleasure
to attend the games and see the grand
work of the men. They travel over
the country stopping at the best ho
tels and leaving behind them a record
which insures them a welcome return
engagement in the future.

IIAVELOCKED
Trainmen on No. 12, arriving
at 4 p. m.., had an unusually busy
time yesterday with intdxicated
passengers who boarded the train
at Crete. A passenger reported
four sepcrate fights between Crete
and Lincoln. Five passengers
bound for Lincoln were put off
the train at as many different
points along the line because they
insisted upon making tilings un
pleasant for other passengers.
One fight resulted in one of the
participants getting his head un-
ceremoniuosly thrust threw a
window, breaking the pane and
severlys cratching the unfortu
nate heqad. I incoln Journal.
Crete will probably be thinking
seriously about going dry next year
and reports from Eagle and other
towns which are now reaping the
benefits (?) of securing trade from Lin
coln since Havelock turned down the
drink emporiums will also begin to
think seriously about the "benefits"
derived from their nearness to the dry
regions.

It was certainly a disappointment
o the people of Plattsmouth in one
way that the rain came at a time
when it interfered with the game of
ball between Col. Green's Nebras
ka Indians and the local team. From
the standpoint of good to the coun
try why then of course the rain
was the proper thing and everybody
las been made happy because of its
appearance, uitt from the standpoint
of base ball it was ceratinly a disap
pointment. Great preparations had
been made for the game and a large
crowd nad been assured. It is sel
dom that a town is favored with a
visit of this popular and nation-wide
known aggregation Travelling as
they do all over the United States
they have become in all probability
as wide known as the Chicago Sox or
any other of the lug teams, and cer
tainly outside of the professional ranks
are the greatest aggregation in the
world in the base ball business. Col.
Green himself is a Nebraska product,
raised on a Nebraska farm, educated
in Nebraska schools and a graduate
of the Nebraska state university.
An old player himself, and at one time
connected with professional ball as
owner of the Lincoln team of the
Western league he has had an exper
lence wnicn lias enabled fum to net
together probably the fastest aggre
gation travelling the country. For
many seasons they have been on the
road traveling all over the country and
winning most of the games played.
They have not only met the fastest
amateur teams and defeated them.but
they have also defeated some of the
swiftest semi-professional teams that
can be found. Several professional
teams have reason to remember their
visit with the small end of the score
against them. This year they invade
Chicago with nine games and the City
of New York with several games. This
year Col. Green has without doubt
the best team that he has ever collec
ted together and the season will bring
greater results than ever before. There
is one thing about the aggregation
under the management of Col. Green.
He has in his field geneniLMr.Tobcy,
one of the finest and most gentlemanly
young men the state of Nebraska has
ever produced. Not only is he a fine
fellow, but he is also a crack piteher

FROM THE TOMB.
The Flattsmouth News, a near
newspaper published for the glory
and edification of one Ernest
Pollard, by two men who evident
ly don't know the smell of prin
ter's ink, and whose sole ambi
tion is to strut and look pretty
feels very sorry for our Mink
League team.
The above taken from the Nebraska
City Press, a near newspaper published
by a fel'ow whose only distinction is
that he is a manager of a base ball
team in the "Mink" league and im
agines therefore that he is really some
thing out of the ordinary, (which is
true) has another guess coming re
garding "the two men" of the Flatts
mouth Daily News. They were smell
ing printer's ink before the editor of
the Press smelled a nursing bottle and
probably know more about the busi
ness in five minifies than the editor
of the Press knows now or will know
if he lives a hundred years, that is if
the condition of his sheet and its gen
eral makeup has anything to do with
it. No, no, kiddy, you talk awfully
cute, but the sheet you publish would
not be tolerated in any other town but
rscbraska City.

NOT GUILTY.
The Plattsmouth News is honest
enough to say that it does not be
lieve the loss of the state capital
would in any way damage her fu
ture, for the reason that the eity
is already a railroad center and
wholesale distributing point, to
which may be added the advan
tage of being the seat of the great
state university. Kearney Hub.
This is the first time that we knew
that we had such a thing as the state
capital. Of course we knew that
Plattsmouth was a great railroad
center and wholesale distributing point
but as to being the seat of the great
university, that is another thing we
were not aware of. Thinking that
Ml l . l

at the switch during the !past we took
a trip around town today in the rain
to see if we could see anything whicl
would tend to make us believe that
those things were a part of our citv,
but the best we could discover was that
our jail resembled the state house
much on account of its delapidated co
dition and that the old building across
the street south from the Perkins
hotel might pass for the main build
ing of the university. Of course, i
the Hub wants them moved over to
that town for the purpose of having
something worth looking at it wil
not be necessary to call a state elee
tion for that purpose. Just come over
and take them away. ,
