Notwithstanding the discouraging fact that

Wora lowering aim black and full of It mo
julco and tbo Omaha team was sup
posed to bo lamentably weak on account
of the enforced nbsonco of Shannon
andMcCauloy , fifteen hundred or two thou
sand Indomltabla fans wrapped themselves
up In tholr gloomy forebodings nnd moped
out to McCormlck pirk to sco the flrit gnmo
of the season with the sturdy Denver crow.
They were also glad that the Lambs had
returned , you know , but were sad bccauso
they thought that In their crippled condition
they would have to glvo up a ball to Whlto
.Wlngs.
But there Is always some bitter with the
( iwcot , Isn't thoic ?
By consulting the score the clnngod post-
Ions In the toim will bo seen , nnd ns long as

Despite this shifting around the boys played
iilco a nicely lubricated plcco of machinery ,
nnd for the uonco the absent were never

umpiring of King Gnffnoy , who t.iado his first
bow to un Omaha audience , was a thing of
beautv and a Joy forever.
Well befitting Is his title of a monarch , and
when ho sttodo upon the Held clad in his
nobby ' blue cap , blouse nnd trousers , ho was
'fiven n hearty band. All the fans hud heard

At first they thought ho was vorv funny.

laughter was mixed with their cheers. His
voice , you know , sounds something llko the
dying cadences of a b.i oo as it echoes and ro-
vorborales fiom crag to crag within the
gloomy depths of some mountain fastness , and
whenever ho opened his smooth-shaven
Itlsscr nnd cried "Inl's ' , two oo-oo-ol" the
bleachers were besldo thomselvos.
But go back to the brilliant features of the
enme.
"Old Cy" had just cut n now sapling , and

Out of four times nt the bat ho got four of
them nnd thn other time ho was up , Kennedy
liked him so well ho gave him his base.
Commodoio Twltcholl and Dad CInrno
were also In the thickest , of tlio unpleasant
ness , nnd they Just ate everything , Including
dandelions , pigweed and clover , thoto wus In
their respective fields. Larry ginbbed llvo
llles nnd Dad three , nnd neither could have
made an error had ho tried.
Deacon Griflln occupied Manager Danny's '
fchoos , nnd despite the fact that ho thougnt
ho wns out in middle a couple of times , ho
chopped his way through without a blunder.

grounds , nniong which nro tbo failure to so-
euro n petition for the Issuance of n 11-
ccnso signed by a majority of the cltbcns
living In the block In which the saloon is to
bo located ; tbo fnlltuo to indemnify the city

amount of bond was loft blank , whereas tlio
stntuto requires It to bo W.OIK ) , and n falluio
to Incorpotato In thu bond the provision In
the latter part of section 1'iTl of the revised

lieonso may bo attacked both collectively and
diioctly ; also that n saloon lunnlng without
u license is n nuisance nnd that nn injunction
Is the proper proceeding.
This Is said to bo tbo llrst case In the state
where an injunction has boon resorted -

and the decision is based on llko

As the Blairs made Kenvon piy dear for this

WISIIIVOTOV , May 23. Iho weather crop
bulletin was Issued by the signal ofllco today.
The timely rams which occurred during the
week over the central valleys , says the re-
nort. have prevented the threatened drouth
over the principal wheat and com states nnd
will doubtless prove of great value to the
growing crops.
It will bo seen from the chart that exces
sive rnlns hnvo occurred from Now England
westward ovov thostates of tbo Ohio valley
and tbo southern portion of tbo lake legion ,
nnd thence further westward to the Kocky
mountain districts. Within the greater portion
tion of this area tbo precipitation oxoeodod
ono Inch , nnd In Kansas and portions of Iowa ,
Missouri , Nebraska and Colorado It exceeded
two Inches.
Excessive rains also occurred in tbo con
trol portion of Minnesota nnd the DaUotns
and portions of Georgia , Alabama and Mis
sissippi , while general showers occurred
thioughout Kentucky , Tonnossoo. Arkansas
and southeast Missouri. Tl > o rainfall for the
season continues In excess generally through
out the northwest and from Dakota south
ward to Texas.
Unports from the spring wheat region of
Minnesota nnd Dakoti state that recent
showers have greatly Improved crops in that
section , especially late wheat , whllo warmer
weather nnd moro rain will bo beneficial.
Tbo crop conditions were also generally Im
proved In the states of the Mlssoutl
valley nnd In Illinois nnd Iowa ,
nnd 'wheat Is bending In line condition
except In the central counties of Illinois ,
whcro Insects nio damaging grain nnd hay ,
nnd oat crops will bu short. Corn plintlng
Is about complete , but the cool woathur has
retarded growth.
Severe hall In Comanche county. Kansas ,
destroyed much wheat. Some damage re
sulted from the sumo causa In several coun
ties In Missouri , and In the latter Mnto a de
structive tornado occurred , causing injury to
crops nnd loss of lifo In Boo no , Audrian nnd
Plko counties.
In the states of the Oblo valley nnd In the
Inku region the crop prospects were greatly
Improved by recent tains , although In many
sections tlu inlnfall has not been sufficient
to completely irliovo crops from the previous
drouth conditions. Fronts on the 17th
caused sotno Injury to crops nnd fiult In
Michigan nnd in the northern portions of
Ohio , Indiana and Illinois
Crop prospects were also Improved In Ten
nessee and Kentucky , but the light rains
have given only temporary relief. In Tonne -
no ° see inst nnd small Insects damaged
wheat. Texas nnd western Arkansas nipoit
weather favornblo ; cotton plants small , but
in goo 1 condition , dcep-rootod nnd
well cultivated ; corn In tassel
and general prospects promising. Consider
able injury resulted from hall In Texas ,
where these storms covered an area of iil)00 )
acres. Some bunollt rbsultod from showers
In the northern portions of the gulf states ,
but tlio drouth continues in the southern sec
tions and the outlook is generally moro un
favorable than during the previous week ,
The weather condition gonanilly in the
south Atlantic u tales was too cool for cotton ;
tno stann ot cotton and corn was poor and In
some sections cotton Is being rcplnntod ,
Light ruins revived crops ( n the northern
portions of the south Atlantic states , but the
ground continues too dry.
Colorado reports that ralni over the whole
state generally bonoiltod crops , but where
oxcesslvo caused some dnmngo to alfalfa.
Knlnx are not favorable , however , to the
