Oinulia'H Kiiny I li'tory.
Now wu'vo got the pennant sure.
Omaha took the third gatnu from Minneap
olis Just like sliu ought to have taken the
llrst , without turning a hair.
The usual Sunday crowd was out-four
thousand or thereabouts-and thov were out
for tin- stuff itml tlmy got It , and got It early.
The I.ii'nlt flinched victory In Iho opening
inning.
lly Harh , thn owner of the Minnies , was In
the it-porter's box , and ho pulled bard for bis
pclq , hut It > vns Ilko pulling against the winds
of l-'orliino - useless.
It wns a ground-hog case with the Lambs
they had to win.
.loeko Mulligan was the flrst man to face
Mr Ilurtson , who many moons ago pitched
for the Omahas. That was In the days of
Philbin'H regime.
Well , Hnllignn got his base on balls , again
exemplifying the old axiom that everything
comes to a nun who walls.
.loeko was not kepi in susprmso long , for
"Old Cy , " despite the fact that ho went bo-
bind the pinto minus n section of his ' - throwing
ing linger , " made a picturesque hunt , boating
the ball to llrst.
Then tint Siindny crowd began their sere
nade , and when iho Commodore duplicated
"Old Cy'ft" ' nice work , you'd n-theuitlit the
Marine h.iml was on the grounds -thu air
wns so chuck full of niL-lody.
Thu bases full and no ono out. A good
tlmo to let nlf your surplus steam , wasn't ill
lint there were bolter things to come.
Jimmy Donnelly took his position at the bnt ,
with a Hurdoult ! grim playing around his
lovely mouth , and Ifartson grew leary.
IIo didn't like the Mephistopolean grim ,
and refused to give .11 in my a whack nt bur.
The ciir.seiiien.-es | were , that , ho wont to
first on four wklo ones , and Hnlligan wan
forced acres * the pan.
Here lly Harh used an expression that no
geutloman would use In thu presence of
reporters.
IIo said It wns the dodcnstcdcsl picco of
Jasacklcal engineering ho had over seen in all
his born days.
That's what Hy said !
Then when Sandy ( irlflln whanged out a
handsome old rose iwo-saclter , hu stuck the
wrong end of his cigar in ins mouth ho act
ually swore.
And how red-bonded ho was when Sntcllffo ,
the Commodore and Jimmy came filing In
over thu plate.
Hut the ispectators didn't care a picayune
for Hy's feelings. They were the very spirit
ami essence of mirthful jovousncss.
When it coiniis to sentiment on a ball
ground , it is moro likely to Hnd lodcmcnt
with the humble , unnoticed , Impecunious
throng peeking through Iho knot holes In the I
fence limn among the revengeful nnd pitiless
cranks of the grand stand uiul bleachers. *
Hut Mr. Hauh was not oven yet through
his excruciating ordoul , for after Manager
Danny had boon thrown out al llrst by Ills
( iasplpoluts , Mr. Karl. Mo.xlo Hcnglu en
deavored to make Joe Walsh's grounder run
up his leg , but failed , and thu result was thai
Sandy came in with thu llfth run and .loo
lodged snfo on hag No. 1.
Here , however , Ily's nightmare ended.
Kilcljoiy fouled out to Darling and Hnlligan
bis .second time at the bat was thrown out
at first.
Mr. Murphy , Hnch's Dutch middle Holder ,
was quickly disposed of by Donnelly and
McUuuley as a starter for the Minnies.
Then McQuadu , Just imported from thu
slope. Hied out to Twltchell , and il resembled
an egg lemomido for our friends from the
north.
Uut my , how full of surprises and uncer
tainties the great came is.
Minnnhnn on ) v occupied a second or two
lu striking out , but "Old Cy" lol thu third
msh-fdiay gut away from him , and Minny
was safo.
That's how n man can strike out , and yet
be in It ,
Didn' know that , did yoill Well It is BO ,
anyway.
Mr. Kyn next took his position at Iho but ,
without saying a word.
Swish !
"One strike ! " said the umpire.
Hut the dummy was Imperturbable. Tbo
next ball split the rubber , but Kyn wasn't
looking for It.
"Two strikes ! " sung Mr. Collins.
This made the dummy very Irate , and ho
turned upon the Judge advocate and every
body expected to hear him roust him , lint
bo had lofl his slate and pencil upon the
piano and had to remain mule.
Yol you could see that ho meant business ,
and the next halt Kddio cnl louse , landed
nxaiusl the left. Hold fence ,
U scored MInnuhnu and put Mr. Kyn on
second , where ho stood tickling himself
under the arm and nodding to Kiteljorg.
Walsh lulled to scoop up Shngnrt's dusl
distributor quick enough and Hliug reached
llrst and the dummy third.
On thu next bull pitched Hi-other Shugart
thoughl he'd run down to second , but , "Old
Cy" thicw to Walsh to catch him , and
\\nlsh , who is up to snuff , know what was
expected of him , and without us much as a
glance at Shugart ho returned the ball like a
hhol to "Old Cy" and thu dummy was milled
nl thu pluto.
Hut it was a "close shave , " as Adam Mor-
rell rem-.irked to .ludgo Lake , and Is u play
too dangerous to experiment with.
It worked this time , however , llkea cluirm ,
Uiul there's no liiek coming ,
"Old t'y" began the second with his second
safe one , and notwithstanding hi.s linger was
no sore you could almost hear It thump lu
the grand stand , ho burgled sccnml.
Hu did thin by laying down when about
twenty feet from tbo base and stretching out
his arm grabbed the bug with his duxtcr
duko.
Then the people whooped agahj They
were so glad to see Old Cv sti-ul .something.
M'l.o Commodore's sacrillco hunched liUa
up ninety fool further , ami like a giraffe ho
loped ncros.s Iho pluto on Donnelly's single.
( Jrlftln then hit a high lly midway between
short nnd loft , which looked a dead sale , but
little Hrotherhood Shugart sprinted out after
U , and Im got It , too , making ns pretty a
catch going with the ball as ypu over saw.
Hut this did not content him , and turning he
sent the ball back to Kyn with the precision
of a Hharpsliiioter , and Donnelly , who hail
started for second on the hit , was caught.
That was ouo of the double playn you reud
nboul in Tolstoi's novels.
Mr. Shugiut had to doff Ids cap again and
again In response to the vociferous anp'auso
thai grouted his manolous work , and all
through thu gamu thorouftcr ho was a pi I mo
fnvorito.
Il was a dreary blank for tbo visitors.
In thu third the Lambs uddcd ono more
tall ; mid It was tholr last , to their silo of
tlui scoro.
Shnnnon reached llrst on balls. A wild
pitch M'Ml him along to the next station ,
WiiUh's Karri lieu to thu next and Pupa's tuo-
cushion dilvo , homo.
I'Yom this on cut it wus nn unbroken chain
nf hen fruit for Omaha , but as tang as she
wen , what's thn dllTcrvncol
And the vltitors , they couUt do precious )
little bettor. Tlioy only ol in two more runs ,
ouo In the sixth , on Mlnucluui's three-saoker
ml Darling's uliiglo , nnd one In Uio seventh
on Darling's ' necciul nafo one , u stcnl , and
Charlie HarUou's ' drive.
And the score stood 7 to 3 ,
Jloth tennu phiycd superbly. Twltchell
caught MX lurgo hone Hle.s , miulo two bits , a
sucrlllco. and u run , and ubout cniriud off the
yului , ulthcuh'U Shauuou' * tiiuppy couuhlug
and base run til lift WM n feature , M was nl o
Joo's excellent work nt short. Old Cv behind
the plate and Donnelly nl third. KltcIJort , ' ,
nf course , pitched In iiatiR-up shape. Shugart ,
Kyn and Darling were the bright particular
stars on the other sldo , nnd Mr. Collins gave
us a creditable exhibition of umpiring.
Tcoidny they will tneot again , but on the
Minneapolis grounds.
Tbo score :

being the deftest of men with a brace
faro box , writes Arthur MoKwon from
San Francisco. IIo , with two aids , tlrovo
down to tbo town of Sntro , where the
tunnel wan being driven , to spread n
layout for the minors on pay day. The
minors played at his game , ho drew
cards from whatever part of Iho pack ho
liked , and before sundown bad won aboul
$2,000 , all the minors had. The fame of
his unlawful dexterity had reached
Hntro , and those minors , though each
had risked his cash in the expectation
thai ho would bo clover enough to escape
tbo common fate , hold a little mooting
in the back room in the saloon. Eaeh
man stated tlio amount of hi.s loss , and
tbo total reached $2,500 , a slight dis
crepancy tbut the mooting discreetly ig
nored. Then , just as the gifted gambler ,
witli bis two companions , was aboul stop

past week In which Kcnrnoy society , capital-
ista and pcnplo In general were Interested
wns the completion anil dedication of tlio
now oporn house. Years ago the old skatin ?
rlnlc metamorphosed Into plnvhouso , bo-
catno the eyesore of Kearney's citizens and n
now opera house has been on each year's list
of Improvement , but lack of ncrvo and
capital deterred Its nullding , until the
Kearney npora house company was
formed curly hi lyx ) . At that tlmo
the discontent began to manifest Itself
Into talk of building an opera house In keep-
Iiuv with tun eity'.s progress In other enter
prises. The following list of substantial
business men conceived the Idna and put It
Into execution : \V. A. Downing , H. A. Lee ,
Hiram Hartley. Homer. ! . Allen , \V. C. Till-
son , V. M. lliillovvcll , 11. L. Downing , John
J. Unborn , II. K. Orcor , .1. .1. IJartlott , S.
U'cibol. II. IJ. Porter , Charles A. Wiley ,
which ' was Incorporated under thu name of
the Kearney opera house company. The lir.st
ten gentlemen named were made directors.
\V. A. Downing Is president , II. J. Allen ,
vlco . proslcont : .1. .1. Osborn , secretary : \V.
( J. 'i'lllson , treasurer.
After one yciir of solid work and untiring
energy these gentlemen have given to Kear
ney what Its people lone desired. The build
ing was put up by Hlchards & Co. of Unmba ,
from plans furnished by McKlfatriclc & Son
of St. Louis. It Is ono of the most substan
tial structures in Uio country , built of gray
sandstone from the Hawlins , W > o. , quarries ,
live stories high with basement. The ground
plan is T.YxlIH ) feet , and from the pavement to
cornice it is eighty-four feet.Tlie monotony of
the stone wall is relieved by a series of wide
flat arches over the main entrance , and smiill
round arches over the windows , while stiort
columns , carving and moulding nru seen in
almost every uvuihiblo spacw.
Tlio building will contain the Kearney
National bank which will soon boost of doing
business in one of ttu cosiest and most elabo
rately finished banking rooms in the wtst.Thu
interior necoration of this room Isn pleasing
combination ol riciuy embossed papur with
wood pulp wnliiii.-otlng Impressed witli
artistic designs. The bank furniture Is no
less in elegance , and Is of thu very latest
designs.
Ono largo double store and two other
ones occupy iho ground floor beside the bank ,
while the basement and upper portions of
the building is cut into suites of largo oftlco
rooms. 1'ho general oftlccs of the ICe-arnuy ft
Hlnek Hills road will occupy the entire llfth
lloor.
At the grand entrance to the theater there
Is a largo vestibule floored with marble. To
the right is the olbetrie elevator , mid In the
front n broud , emystnirway of marble rises
to n landing which separates into two stair
cases icadlnir Into Iho foyor. This is sepa
rated from the first lloor by archways
heavily draped , Thu narqnot contains 128
comfortable chairs' , with padded leather
seats and old rose plush backs. Twenty-
eiglit of the best seals are sofas , accommo
dating two persons. The dress circle
contains y O chairs , with backs of
combination pliL-fli and curved oak.
The balcony projects seven and ono-half foot
bovondthe , gallery cqlunma nnd extending
back 'thirty-eight feet'- with art elevation ,
making u view of tTlo stage clear from every
chair. The gallery is-largo mid comfortably
arranged.
The wall decorations are entirely frescoes.
The dome of the theater and sounding boards
are patterned alter the Chicago Auditorium.
The dome represents a sky with light llcocy
clouds and perforations , allowing 1UI ) incan
descent lights of different eandlo power to
twinkle as stars of different maiiiiitudcj.
Governor fioyd and his entire stalT were
present at the grand o [ oning as guests of the
city. A number of other distinguished men
of the state were also present , The irovvrnor
being called upon for a speech , spoke in part
as follows :
"When 1 accepted your very kind invita
tion to bo pris'iit this evening , having such
an aversion to public speaking I did so with
the distinct understanding that I was not to
make liny remarks. Hut 'tbo world's a stage
mid all thu men and women merely players ,
and ono man in his turn plays many parts. '
My part of the performance , a very pleas
ant part it Is , Is to congratulate
the people of Kearney upon the
completion of the . magnificent structure.
\Ylien 1 first came to this country , over
thirty-two years ago , when the prairies in
this vicinity ' " 'I'0 summer time were cov
ered with buffaloes and the Indians limited
and roamed over the nlnins at will , liltlo did
I think then that T would live to sea hero
such a suhstnnial and handsome city , and on
the allot where I now stand ono of the finest
temples of amusement in Iho country.
"It requires no prophetic vision to foresee
n grand future fet the city , because it pos
sesses within itself the elements of success
an active , energetic and prosperous people.
Obstacles vanish before the onward inarch
of such lorco. Your city is alive with that
spirit that has changed fotcst mid pniiriu
into blooming llclds and flowering gardens ;
that lias spanned giant rivers with iron
bridges , checkered the fnco of our country
witli railroads ; that have built up great cities
of brick and stone , with their business struc
tures towering toward thohenvons , and their
palaces and temples uru the admiration of the
world.
"I can see ro.suHs for your city in the
future , and surely I wUb all that full measure
of success to which you arc so Justly entitled. "
Manager McKoynolds of the Funko at
Lincoln has leased the opera house and it
will bo put on a circuit which will include
the same attractions as Lincoln. The grand
opening was a success llnuuclally and nothing
but praise for the Kearney opera house
company coines from those who attended.

Predicted Sensation tInCoining Week
nl I'lllMhiir .
PiTT.siirno , I n. , May a. The expected sen
sation of tbo week Is the promised Imprrla-
lion of 7,000 workmen from different purls of
the oast. It is said that many of them will
bo negroes and Indians. The operators have
little to say except that they must run their
plant somehow , while cltt/ons generally are
indignant that steady , skilled labor seems
about to be driven from the field by thw
this invasion of ignorant nnd by
no means desirable laborers. Money
is rapidly coming Into the miners'
hands , nnd Its effect , was shown today at sov
cral mass meetings , which were attended bv
mon from .limtown and Kyle , who promised
to come out in the morning on assurances of
support. Some six hundred ovliturns will bo
made this week lu ord ; : to make room for
the now men coming into the region , but
labor olllcials say thev will bo able to prevent
thu bulk of them from going to work.
Tonight Ucv. Father Lambing , a power
among the per.plo . of tlio region , severely de
nounces the labor leaders from the pulpit.
Ho also creates 11 Hcnsation by repeating his
advice that the men retutn to work. At tbo
1'ollsh celebration in the opera house ho also
reiterated those views.

to see an American who was a prisoner
confined in Iho minob at Salinus , in tlio
luighhoriiood of ( iuadclajara. This
\moriean convict proved to bo

it Alamo was taken prisoner with

story was that all h'm rangers were killed
nil tlio two who were there with him ,
vho were unhurt and for BOIIHI reason

Hon. A. H. Melville of Huron , who came
so near being elected United States senator ,
when asked lor news political or otherwise ,
answered that ho knew of none except busi
ness. "Down our way , " ho continued , ' -wu
are conlldent that the artesian basip is about
to prove the greatest natural tx-sourse that
this country possesses. For instance , at
Altoonii , a small town north of
Huron , there is n three and live-
uightns inch well that lor the
post year has run a sixty-barrel
( louring mill day and niulit. Pretty fair sort
of pressure for a well ot that si/.e ! No other
power is used. Then alter the mill gels
through with the water it is utilized for irri
gation. None ol it is wasted. It waters two
sections of land very nicely mid last year
raised twenty bushels of A No. 1 hard wheat
whore land unjoining il thai was not irrigated
did not nvcruL'o more than live bushels of
wheat of a very inferior grade.
"Our now well is the dandy ! It is nn
eight-inch ono and the How ts something
wonderful. It is down blH ) feet and goijs
through a hard stratum of rock at winch alt
the others have stopped. I said It was an
oiL'ht-inch. It Is that to this hard rock ,
when with the How thnt tliuro then was , it
was nccessarv to have a six inch hole until
the lower vein was reached. This Is the
present condition of Iho well , bul the other
two inches will bo reamed out as soon as the
machinery can bo received.
"Now about thu How of the Kisilon well ,
which wo call the greatest artesian well m
tlio world. So fur there is not an indlcallun
that the water of this artesian well is ex
haustible. The How nnd pressure do not
always stand in proportion. Until the Woou-
socket How was struck the great How was at
Yunklon , where the pressure remains much
less than in this upper region , The pressure
.seems to bo regulated by the depth of the
well in this region ; tlte deeper , the higher
the he id of water which appears above the
ground. At least this Is the experience with
the Klsdon well. What a mighty stream of
water It Is ! A young river ! A How through
a six-Inch pipe of 10,1)00 ) gallons pur minute ,
drcd pounds per square inch , enough al lea.sl
lo easily run a ! . " > ( ) - barrel flouring mill. When
this How was struck by Hi ) ti-inch drill which
weighs 'Jfi)0 ( ) pounds , It sent It up Just like a
toy. Homo experiments have been tried with
it , A - ' . . - no//.cl was attached and u
stream of water this si/o t > ont seventeen foot
into the air. Tlion n 1-inch ono elevated a
stream ol that size easily seventy feet into
the air. It was a grand sight wltn the roar
and dashing sounds us Iho spray fell in dlf-
forcnt direction , deluging almost everything
insight. Tlio water is for the present con
voyed into the. lim river. The water is soft ,
anil of a plousan. fiste. There is no question
as to its utility H power and irrigating.
