THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE.
NINETEENTH YEAE. OMAHA , SUNDAY MORNING , MAY 18 , 1890-SIXTEEN PAGES. NUMBER 328
WATRR !
On Friday night we got up another Big Lot of goods from the basement and had a most extraordinary sale Saturday. We have brought up more for Monday. This
will be the best offering we have made yet. We desire to call special attention to the curtain department. These goods suffered less than any goods in the store , being
all in papers , and while the papers were badly smoked , the goods themselves had nothing but the merest smell. But we are making the same ruinous reductions as on
any of the other goods in the store. This is an opportunity , to house furnishers that never will occur again. We also call attention to the extraordinary prices we make
on Monday in our Dress Goods Department when these goods are gone we can never again offer anything like them. In Black Goods we are doing just the same way ;
also in Silks and Velvets. In Men's Furnishing Department we call attention to the most extraordinary bargains we have yet offered , and especially the Handkerchiefs ,
and the bargains in Hosiery Department , notably the Ladies' 25c Vests Be. In Lace Department we are selling Torchon Laces and Drapery Nets at practically half
price. In Linen Department we have still a big lot of the fire goods. Our sales have been enormous here , but we had a big lot in the basement. Monday morning
all these goods will be on sale , and our friends will not be disappointed with the prices. The damaged Toys will also be on sale.

Jhirds regular values.Vo are not sell

The Kansas City ball team La the baseball
joke of the day and ago. Before the opening
of the .casou the papers down there were la
menting the oxtre-iio muscularity of their
team , in the four that they would have such a
walkover for the pennant that all intrest in
the Western association race would bo de
stroyed , Well , nearly ono month of the sea
son lias elapsed and the Cowboys have six lit
tle consumptive victories to their ivedlt and
they ornament the tall end of the list.
"At the beginning of the season , ' ' editori
ally remarks the New York Tribune , "wo
discharged tlio painful duty of warning the
exponents of baseball science that they stood
In some peril of finding themselves without
an occupation. WP huvo been given to under
stand that wo worn criticised intomperaU-ly
for this humane intervention by a few indi
viduals of the class that prefers illusion to
truth , but sagacious persons everywhere ac
knowledged the accuracy and importance of
our observations. Weeks h.tve slipped awny ,
and the situation grows steadily worse. The
simple fact is that there is no enthusiasm
over the game ot baseball at the present time
in any part of tlio country , and the languid
intoitf-it which stillremains is not a legiti
mate Interest In the players and the playing ,
but in the struggle for existence between the
leagues.
"Tlio subject is often treated jocosely , but
It has a really serious side. As played for th'j
last thrco or four years the national game has
been un important element in tlio national
life. An amusement which consumes the
time of hundreds of thousands of respectable
persons to the extent of two hours daily dur
ing six months iu the year is not to bo
Ignored. The character and effect of a
diversion possessing such powers of allure
ment are matters of great significance. If it
bo generally demoralizing , signs that Its hold
was weakening would bo welcome , but If , on
the whole , it is conspicuously innocent and
healthful , there is abundant reason for ro-
grottlng its decline. The latter supposition
we believe to bo the actual fact. Long ob
servation of numerous popular amusements
has convinced us that scarcely any other
possesses so many excellent features and so
few that are to bo regretted. The game is
played under sanitary conditions , it is as free
as any public competition can bo from the do-
illoment of gambling , nr.d It him no other
harmful accessories. Except at occnsioual
critical or brilliant moments , It is not oven
wildly exciting , but-only a refreshing stimu
lant. It has nothing to do with unholy pas
sions , but appeals to the better qualities of
mankind.
"For those reasons any coin-so which tends
to destroy popular lnterot.t in baseball Is to
bo deplored. In nil probability the diversions
which replace it will not bo better but worse.
Impartial critics nip nil agreed that tlio sea
son has opened gloomily. Something is the
matter , and there is not much doubt what
that something is. Itjnightbo variously de
scribed , but 'too much'manoeuvring and too
little common-sense' will tit the case with suf-
tlcient accuracy. Possibly it Is easier to dl-
agnoso the complaint than to prescribe the
remedy , but tho-nien who love to hear them
selves called the magnates will make u ser
ious mtstaka if tncy fail to undertake u radi
cal euro at once. " .

Van Wagoner , the crack eastern road rider
did not make the trip from Doston to Chicago
in ten or twelve days as ho contemplated. It

en passant , beats the record any way.
Ned Oliver of Chicago spent several days
here during the past week and called upon
most all of the local wheelmen. Oliver is al
ways interested in cycling affairs and has
done much toward fostering the sport in the
Windy City.
Frank Mlttnncr , ono of the most popular
members of the local wheel club , is out among

The Omalm wheel club should bo stirring
themselves in regard to their annual tourna
ment. There never was more interest in
'cycling here than Just now , and the public
would take kindly to any alTnir the club
might see proper to got up. The squareness
of the Heading-Prince race has made those
Interested eager for more of the same sort.

fair. There has always b en an evidenf en
deavoroa the part of ICilrain's frle-i'ls - to
keep from the public tlio n'stilt of this in Bet
ing , but a year ago Tin : Din : wrote to John
McCormick , who is norrespniuling with Tun
Din : from Frisco todav , and who is undoubt
edly the host pugilistic authority in the
world , for the truth of the matter He said :
"Tom Urolinu , a boxing teacher iu Doston ,
wrote u letter to Jack ilarnett on November
! > : i , IS'jS ' , in which ho said : Sullivan and
Kilraln met In the Kevere hall , Hoston , six
years ago , but the encounter was never
recorded. They wens billed for four rounds.
1 was chosen referee by Kllmiifs friends
'
with the understanding' I was to give
him the best of it , if I could. They never
finished the four rounds. Sullivan gave Jake
a knock-out in the second round , and there is
where I begun to get In my funny work I
gave Jake seven minutes in which to comoup ,
Sullivan was standing over him and wanted
to know if 1 was ever going to order Kilruin
up. Said I : ' ( ! ivo him a little time Uo you
want to kill hiiiH' 'No'said John L. , 'but
I'll stand hero till ho does get up,1 Jake
finally got to his feet and retreating to his
dressing room , never came back. "
