Petty Keeping Oma ha's End Up in the Sports men's Meet at Lincoln. The State Sportmen's Association bcgan.its annual tournament in Lin coln Tuesday. Several teams from adjoining states take par in the sport , and altogether the meeting is probably the most suc cessful so far. Owing to the scarcity of birds , glass balls "were useil in the trap contests of yesterday. For'these , forty entries were made , but our fellow-townsman , Mr. John W. Petty , carried the day from the start. The prizes were divided into forty per cent , to the first , thirty to the second , twenty to the third , and ten to the fourth. The first match at ten balls straight , was won by Petty , Robinson , Dun ham and Irwin in the order named. Second match , same number of balls straight , was won with Petty again first , Robinson and Schamenberger dividing the honors of second , J. E. Baum tliird ; and Daniel Bray , fourth. Mr. Petty did not make a single missand.he was by all hands voted the crack trap shot of the state. * " In the evening the association held the ann.ua ! meeting The tournament will continue for the balance of the weekj fo'ur days in all being the pro gramme. The weather yesterday was very fine in Lincoln , but the storm of of last night night and this morning will no doubt prove an interruption to day. Extra inducements are given to buy Boots and Shoes before Amoving at FULLHIEDES , Visscher's Block. To the Public.- Last Thursday afternoon I left for Chicago on a brief visit. On my re turn Tuesday night I learned that Mr. Donnelly , city editor , Mr. Johnson , local reporter , and Mr. Smith , adver tising agent , had during my absence , served notice upon Mr. Sauer , busi ness manager , of their" intention to start an afternoon paper , intimating their desire to quit at an early mo ment. Mr. Sauer very promptly and properly relieved them at once. I have no fault to find with these parties for embarking in the proposed newspaper enterprise. The field " is open to any man or set of men , whether employed in * tlrs office or elsewhere. I should cheer fully have submitted to the annoyance and inconvenience of this sudden change in our reportorial staff , as I have done on a former occasion , wl.en I received notice during my absence at Washington of a similar change on the part of Mr. Sorenson. When , however , employes of ihis office enter into a disreputable conspiracy and become cats paws in the hands of rival publishers and corporation man agers who have for years resorted to such contemptible warfare , I deem it proper and just to rebuke such con duct as it deserves. About _ two months ago Mr. Don nelly called at my house on a Friday evening and tendered his services as city editor in place of Mr. Kent , who he said had accepted a position on The Salt Lake Tribune. This was the first intimation I had of Mr. Kent's intention to leave this paper. Mr. Donnelly stated that Mr. Kent had been engaged by Mr. Strahorn , of the Union Pacific and would leave For Salt Lake within two days. Mr. Donnelly , who was at that time an employe of the Union Pacific , ex pressed a desire to go back into the * newspaper business and especially to become city editor of TIIE BEE. I ieclined to make an engagement be fore Mr. Kent tendered his resigna tion. Tbo next morning Mr. Kent : onfirmed Mr. Donnelly's statement , idding that inasmuch as Mr. Donnelly was competent and willing to fill his place he had decided to leave for Salt Lake the next day. The same 3vening Mr. Donnelly again called at my house and I engaged liim. Fhe next day , Sunday , Mr. James B. Saynes , a young man who had been n our employ for several years , called vnd informed me that Mr. Straliorn lad made him an ofier of Donnelly's jlacc. I asked why Strahorn was in terfering so much with our affairs , ind Haynes stated that if this was a mt up job to injure THE BEK he vould decline the position. In view > f the fact that- other parties had rarned me against Donnelly , who ras represented as playing a deep pmeforDr. Miller and the U. P. . ' requested Haynes not to accept. He next morning'I notified Dom.elly hat I preferred not to inr-Iie ho engagement , and plainly ave him as reasons that I adnot desire to employ men who rero disposed to act as spies for our ivals and marplots for our enemies. Ir. Donnelly begged hard to stay. Ie liad already notified'some friends liat he was to act as city editor nd would bo embarrassed if lie position was given to anothea Ie assured me upon the honor of a lan that the reports about his collus- ) n with rivals and eriemies was un- Bunded ; that his ambition was to be lentified permaneutly with the BEE , nd promised to devote himself itli fidelity and energy "to ie interests of the paper. I ecepted his pledges upon honor and ad no-reason to believe that he would iolatc them. A few days later Mr. kmnelly suggested and urged a change i his assistant as local reporter. He ad a friend at Bfnghampton , N. Y. , ho would fill that bill. The party to be displaced was en- aged for nearly a month longerhence requestedthatMr.Donnelly's friend Eiould come within a few weeks , -bout five days later this young man slegraphed ho was on the way and jquestcd transportation from Chicago hich was furnished him on our xount. Uponhisarrival , although we [ d not need him , Sir. Johnson was ssigned to assist Donnelly , and he id the greater part of Mr. Donnelly's ork. Having trained his associate L the coming newspaper at gin : ex- ; nsc and inveigled Mr. Smith , our Ivertising man into his conspiracy , [ r. Donnelly suddenly dropped ie mask during my absence id began the "work openly w.hich he id been doing covertly at the insti- ition of Dr. Miller and his former uployes of the U. P. Such breach of trust and infidelity any other business house uld be . utterly reprehensible id men guilty of such base treachery any other calling -would i universally detested. I pre- : me , however , that the high toned intlemenwho have concocted this lit- 3 plot and want to use these young en lo puTllheir chestnuts out of the e , will consider it a very brilliant id repitablo scheme. Our patrons tve probabry-Bot suffered by "the e and we have no fear they will fFer in the future. E. ROSEWATEB. "BUCK-DRAUGHT" makes - chills id fever impossible. Mwr At C.F. Goodman1 * . T , ' . PERIHELION. ? ) . ' A MERPIF-UL REBUKE. How Justice Beneke Served a Prisoner Who Doubted TTJH Honor. Jim Ferguson , a brawny looking fellow , " . as arrainged before Justice Beneke yesterday by Officer Kleff- ner on a charge of drunkness. The prisoner claimed he was not drunk , and demanded that proof be given that he was. Justice Beneke thereupon ordered his trial .for this afternoon , and Ferguson wasjnarched off to jail. Presently he returned in charge of an officer , having apparently no strong liking for the wretched cells under the county court house. "I guess I'll plead guilty to that ere charge , jedge , " remarkedjFerguson on approaching the justice. "Well , " said the court , laughing , "you have thoughtbetter of it , have you ? " "Fact is , " said the prisoner , " 1 guess you'd find me guilty anyhow , so I thought I might as well have over with it. What's the reckoning ? " The court assured him he was in error in respect to the kind of justice he would have , and after further learning that Ferguson was a brick moulder on his way to Tekamah , where a job awaited him , he was al lowed to march out scot'free. Ferguson appeared to think , as he gladly left the court , 'that he had mis judged the character of. Justice Benecke. PERIHELION ? ? It pays to trade at Jvurtz s. Do your shopping at Kurtz's.

The nine is composed entirely of members of this troupe of minstrel performers , and they have the reputation of always making a "hit. " They make a practice of giving "Homo Clubs" a rub whenever they strike a town that 'boasts of such an institution. Jf the weather is favor- ible , there * is no doubt that a game will be arranged immediately upon their arrival in Omaha next Saturday. Lovers and patrons of the national game in Omaha will be pleased to learn that an amphitheatre is about to be erected on the grounds at the terminus of the green street car line. It wi'l have a seating capacity of about 5CD and will afford protection from the scorching ray of the sun. Manager Philbin says it will be completed by Saturday night.
