Up to nonn yesterday , so Ic.idun and lower
ing wore the sklos , that It looked as if it
would bo impossible ! to play n game- . Hut
alone about : i o'clock the misty rnantlo began
to clear away and blue eyes nponod In the
sky. This was a welcome sight to the ball
cranks and a half hour later ono of the llnest
week day crowds of the season was on hand
eager and enthusiastic for the commence
ment of the battle. It had been two IOIIH
and dreary weeks sluco 11 game had been
played on the homo grounds , and the appe
tites of the fans had been \vhctted to a razor's
edge. The fact , too , that , this was the Ini
tial appearance of the champion Kansas
Cltys here this season lout additional attrac
tiveness to the occasion.
Both teams , owing to the sickness of Don
nelly and 1'ickott , were changed about con
siderably , yet this had no marring effect
upon their play , especially that of the
Oinanns.
The gnmo they put up was simply superb
full of good , hard hitting , brilliant Holding
and hcnuy work on the lines , and had it not
have been for an error of Judgment
on the part of Umpire btdof their score
would have possibly been something like
double what It was. Twitchull's ' fair hit
nfong the right base line in the fifth inning
was called foul , and the possibility of three
runs was curtailed to n cypher.
This evoked the displeasure of the bleach-
era , but the Lambs wore having such a pud
ding that tlioy quickly relapsed into good
humor again , anil barring this one decision
Colonel Strlef , despite his uniform , did nobly.
Kituljorg pitched magnificent ball , anil the
flawless support ho received at the hands of
every ono of his white-hosed confreres made
up ono of the prottiust games that has been
soon hero for a long timo.
This Is the way It all happened :
Manager Danny was the lint man to face
Mr. Conway , whoso face is as immobile as a
plaster cast. In fact , tliov say down
in Missouri that ' 'Dark Days" hasn't
smiled but once slnco ho reached his
majority , and that was on the occasion of the
death of his grandmother who left him a
nice piece of laud in Wisconsin. After sizing
ui > two or three balls , Danny finally caressed
a coy little inshoot. It rolled down toward
third and bnforo Old Hick could gather it UD
and slam it ever to Mr. Wilson , Danny was
Blifo.
Blifo.That
That was clover and the big crowd cheered.
But it all went for naught , ntrnln exemplify
ing the truth of the old adage that it isn't
safe to holler until you nro out of the under
growth. Claiming lunohod on Hnlligan's
high foul , "Old Cr' How out to King Elmer ,
ami the Deacon died at first.
And there was no cheering then , but there
was the next moment , when Manning ,
Hoover and Foster all tnreo died in quick
succession at first. Shannon thiow out the
first and Kltoljorg the other two.
The Commodore opened the second with a
gentle tap to btoarns , and of course was side
tracked at first. Papa was switched hero
likewise , and it resembled another omelet.
But It wasn't. Walsh made the ball squeal
ns ho soaked it for a base , and without wait
ing to tie his shoestrings , begot up und stole
second. Kiteljorg then stop | > cd up and drove
the first ball pitched down to Manning , and
Manning scooped It up along with a pint or
two of mud and fired it at Wilson , and then
came the tire alarm. Did ho limit It ? No.
Worse than that. Ho lot it got by him , and
before ho could recover It Walsh had skated
homo and ICildlo took possession of second.
No hard Juck lor Omahu there , was tborol
The crowd was still cracking its throat
over this bit of good fortune , when Trnftloy
waddled out to the rubber , and amid another
storm of cheers and yells ho smashed out
n two-bagger , ifnit Idlojug joined Josophus
at the oatmeal can.
There was still more cheering when Man
ager Dau ambled to llr.it on four of Dark
Days' choicest wide ones , but n groan welled
up from siaiid and bleacher when old Traff
foolishly allowed himself to bo caught dozing
at second.
What a funny thluir Is this great game of
ours any way. Ono moment you aru floating
with the clouds , the next groveling in the
mud I
But two runs were good enough for n
starter.
The Cowboys scrambled another cgc in-
their half. IClng UUmor fouled to Jocko , but
Stearns got his base on balls. Ho went to
second on a passed ball and advanced ninety
feet further on Conway's sacrifice , but Old
Hick niudu u moss of it by popping ono up to
Walsh. But the people llkod it.
Halligan and blitcllffo were quicklv ills-
posed of in the third. Then the Deacon loft
bis work on oschntology long enough to rap
out a nice single , and the lad from Columbus ,
O. , did the same. But neither got home , for
I'apa poked ono ever to Manning and was
massacred at first.
Again it was three out at first for the Cowboys -
boys , Shannon making two of the assists and
llalllgan the other. Playing ball , weren't
thoyl
Steams' error gave Walsh his base In the
fourth , nnd Manning did the samu trlok for
KUlojorg. Traf wont out from Carpenter to
Wilson , but as both runners took another
bag it was almost as good as a hit. Shannon
followed , and after turning out a variugatod
assortment of fouls , he hanged out n sato
ono , and Josephus und Kdwards stacked up
another run nmoco. My , how the crowd did
sing their glad poans then ! It was so nlco
to see the Cowpunchom get whnled.
Mulligan and "Old Cy" ended the fun , the
former ( lying to Manning nnd Cyrus to
Hoover. But that didn't perturb any one -
wo had 'om licked and ovesy ono know It.
In their half the Missourlans t > qucuml in
0110 Huh ) pneumonic tally. first. Hoover ,
who is big enough for a street car horse ,
made three gaping slashes In the humid at
mosphere , and was inadunougti to bite n rail
road splko in two , wont back to the bench.
Spoknno Foster , who scums sort eV spavined ,
got his bnso on balls. He soon stole second ,
and. spavins ami all , ha stole third. Then
King Elmer followed htm by reason of Kd-
Ulo's second fjuartotto of wide ones. Stearns
forced the King at second , Spokane sprinting
homo on the play , ami the Cowboys were
happy , Stearns , however , got a tritlo too
fresh in his jubilation , and KlU'ljorg throw
him at llrst ,
Of course everybody jeered Mr. Stearns.
Any dlscomtlturo to Danny is nuts for the
crowd.
The Lambi failed to circumnavigate the
bases agiiln until thn seventh , and then , just
as a sort of n nightcap , they took
another run. "Old Cy" stnrt < xl her
with a klnglo , and the Deacon
pushed out his third one. TwItohelTs
Bucrilice advanced Sut , and Sandy stole second
end , Pupa got four Iwlli , Walsh wafted , but
on Rltoljorg'n hit , Cy scored. Traf's out
brought the Cowbovs In.
Smith trotted to first on balls , nnd homo on
Stearns' line shot for three cushions , and the
proplo began to fidget In their flouts. The
grim spectre of defeat stalked athwart thi'lr
vision. But Conway was thrown out nt first
and they feebly whooped , then fell back Into
the dumps as Old Hick imnihod n hot ono
down nt Halligan. It struck with his gutter-
pcrcha shins and rnromiM off safe , and
Stearns came In. Then ( lunson made n hit ,
nnd things looked ominous indeed.
Two runs in , two men on bases nnd but ono
out. It wa time to do something , and the
Lambs did It. Wilson made a ferocious
drive down at Manager Danny , nnd Danny
wus then ) . A single swing nf the arm nnd
the ball sped over to Walsh , nnd Gunny was
killed , then back It came to Papa nnd Wilson
, vas ready for the grave.
And the sigh of relief that wont up made
the grand stand rafters cr nk ! And so the
eonllictimdoil. Wasn't It a blrdl Hero nro

Dnxvnu , Colo. , Juno 17. [ Special Telo-
cram to Tin : Mm : . ] After today's game had
been safely won by the homo team it was put
in n platter and presented to the visitors.
Lincoln was outplayed in all departments of
the game until the last 'half of the ninth ,
when errors by Tobeau enabled the Farmers
to score the winning runs. The homo inns
had many of them leit the grounds with the
impression that Lincoln was safely defeated ,
anu so were greatly surprised on reaching
to-vn to llnd how the game had terminated.
Denver began tallying early , securing a
run in the second on a three-bagger by Curtis
and a hit liv Newman. In the fifth Denver
took two moro on Kennedy's hit , Reynold1 ! ?
sacrifice and hits by Tebenu nnd White aid :
a sacrilico by McClollan. For Lincoln Rogers
was presented first. O1 Day's out at first
advanced him a base and Cline's base on balls
nnd Burketi's scratch hit that Kennedy
dislocated a fiiiKer In trying to stop sent him
in.Fournicr then went in to pitch and hits
by Flanagan nnd Kowo scored Cline nnd
Burkett.
n the sixth Denver scored on hits by New
man nnd McGarr , a fielder's choice , and by
errors. In the seventh Denver scored two on
hits by White , McClellan nnd Curtis , an
error by D. Uowo and n sacrifice by Mc
Garr.
In the eighth Denver scored ono on To-
boau's throe-bagger to loft nnd White's
fourth hit , the latter stealing second and
third and being caught at the homo plate
while ho and McClollan were trying to work
n double stoal. For Lincoln Flanagan made
a three-bagger and came homo on Tomuoy's
out at first.
The trouble in the ninth occurred by To-
bcau's dropping O'Day's high fly , n thrco-
buso hit by Hurkntt , a double by .1. Howe ,
Flanagan's out at first , Tebeau's going into
Curtis' territory , causing that player to drop
D. Uowu's fly. and Tomuov's long hit to loft
field.
field.White's great work at short , at the hat and
in stealing bases , and Toumoy's second base
work nnd Kennedy's ' pitching for the time
he was in tuo box were the features of the
game. Score :

KANSAS CITV , Mo. , Juno 17. A dispatch
from Abilene , Kan. , says there Is a row in
the camp of the farmers' alliance of Dickin
son county. .Tho farmers' alliance joined
with the citizens' alliance to nominate a
county ticket. Nominations were made by
the central committee. At a mooting of the
commlueo the citizens' alliance had
a majority of members nnd dictated
all the nominations , giving their
own members nil thu nominations , When
those names were sent out to the alliances
the farmers rose in rebellion , declaring that
it was a job and a trick and that the farmers
were being cheated out of their rights.
A kickers' convention was held recently ,
at which some of the high officers were given
a scoring , nnd the farmers sat down most
emphatically on the citizens' alliance.
Threats nro made now that there will bo
two tickets in the field this fall and that the
two branches of the alllanco will itnifo each
other. The same dissatisfaction exists in
other central Kansas counties.

Niw : Yoinc , Juno 17. There are at least
three fftots Ineionnection with the defalcation
of Julian Mor/.bachor , manager of the Span
ish-American business of the Now York Llfo
Insurance company , which show that the ef
fects will by no means stop nt so innocent an
issue as that which the olllcors of the compa
ny huvo demanded.
It wus declared uuthoratlvoly by the presi
dent of ono of the great Insurance companies
today that within thu last two years thn Now
Yorit Llfo had lost quite f..OJU.OUO owing to
shrinkages in real estate values , ana that the
loss of from $ : .uO,000 to $700,000 in addition to
this owing to the peculations of Murzbauhar
will give the corporation u buvuro blow. Besides -
sides the rumors nnd fiat statements which
were circulated or made by Insurance men
concerning iho intimacy butwoou I'rcsidunt
Beers and Murzbuchor was the acknowledg
ment bv some of the porsoiiB most deeply in-
torotod In the corporation that Beers was responsible -
sponsiblo for the errors 01 judgment shown
in business.
Another serious complication occurred
when Superintendent I'ierco of the
state Insurance department nnd his assistant
Michael Shannonaflorun extended consulta
tion decided to Investigate the affairs of the
company so far ns could bo done with the
material on file In the oflloas in Albany. This
it Is declared , Will load to an investigation of
the condition of thu company nt the main
ofltco here and to an open uocluration nf war
between the ICqultnhlu nnd the Mutual life nn
thn one side nnd the New Yorl { llfo on the
other. It Is conoudud assaults will bo made
gunor.illy on thu latter company by Its two
great rivals.
The Investigation by the state authorities ,
It U predicted , will disclose n remarkable
method of Investing thu funds of the com
pany lu the real estate which was practically
forced upon It. Instances itlio those of the
Plaza hotel , the Yo.semlto apartment houses
at Sixty-third street and Park nvonuo , ibo
purchase of more than one hundred uncom
pleted houses on the West Sidu , thu continu
ous depreciation of the largo amount of rcul
estate owned by the company at Flushing , L
1. , and the hol-llng of unproductive weston
mortgage * nro mentioned ns episodes of nlottF
series of mistakiis made by officers of the
company during the Inst four or five years ,
The statement that S\mtiel : \ Dlnkolsplel win
n defaulter to the extent of $180,000 wa.s con
tradicted llatly bv the comtun.v'a officer. * ,
but , notwithstanding the denials , them l
little doubt thitt thu business of the London
ollli-o Is in a domorallM'd condition , or that
Mr. Dlnuelsplel's presence nt the same hotel
with President Hours Is attributable to the
effort of the latter to .str.ilghten out Dmkol-
spiel's affairs.
In explanation of Mentbachor's hold on the
company It Ls said that the founder of the
Spanish-American department was n matt
named Dickinson , who rotlrud some years
ago with nn nmplo fortune , leaving a depart
ment regarded as perfect In tntinnircniiMit
nnd scope. Merzbaeher was Dickinson's pri
vate secretary , and was chosen bv Beers to
succeed Dickinson. The Spanlsh-Ainerleilii
department , under the solo I'nntrol of Dick
inson , wus able to take e-nre of Itself , and so ,
under the now manaifomunt , them was no
.supervision by thu directors. Merzbachur , It
l.s said , took with him nboutiiiooo worth of
securities which Sanchez hail accumulated
for private Investment. This loft Snnoho/
without resourc.-s and ho is now working fern
n salary in Barcelona , Spain , for the Now
York conipnuv.
William Dlnkolspiel's connection with the
Kqultablu Llfo Assurance society was sev
ered because of some rather questionable in-
etdonls in his insur.mco of Senator lle.ir.sl'
life for $ .V)0,000 ) In four of the gre'at com
panies. Ho managed to obtain his commis
sion before the company decieled to refuse
Senator Hearst as a risk , and though legally
ho was protnutret the company did not care to
continue its relations with htm.
Julio Mutv.bui-her , whoso ntTuirs in connec
tion with the New Yorlt LIfn Insur.mco com
pany have created such a stir , has made a
statume'iit In London , whore he now Is , In
which ho denies that hu is n elofnultor nnd
assorts that all his transactions have been
above board. Ho admits that hu is financi
ally bankrupt , but ho denies that he squan
dered any of the funds of the Now York Life.
Superintendent Pierce of the state insur
ance department has baguu liis examination
nt Albany. This will tiiko two days.
If the investigation is eixtcnuod to the eo'm-
pany's books II , will not bo completed ror
throe or four months. This , It is said , wJl
be elono upon the solicitations of thu Kqmta-
blo , the Mutual Life1 , the Metropolitan , and
the Connt'ctle-iit Mutual Lilo.
A few yo.-ii'.s ngo the corporation booamo
unpleasantly prominent in the Now York
loRislituni in iho attempted regulation of the
insurance department , and a committee was
appointed by the senate ) to invei.stlgato Its
legislative methods. The chairman of this
committee was State Senator Kiernan , and
its counsel , Ilenrj J. Cullem. The report
was unfavorable to the company , utid Hindu a
decided sensation in insurance circles.
Strange to rolutu this report was nnvor
acted on.
It was about this time that some liberal In
vestments were made in real estate under
the sanction of President Beers. Thov were
not apparently of nn Immediately productive-
nature , for the company began its war against
the insurance committee of the Massachusetts
legislature ) upon the latter body declaring
that robutew should not bo grunted upon
notifies issuud by life Insurance companies.
Tno managers ot the Now Yom Llfo de
clared they would issue such policies without
using the obnoxious rebate and the corpo
ration issued policies which required only a
small per cent of the premium lobe paid ,
and which the state declared to bo irregular.
The state of Massachusetts won lu this con
troversy , and did not cncouraijo the business
of the Now York Life within its borders.
The repulican state central committee after
consultation with McKinley , the nominee of
today's convention , selected William Hahn
of Mansfield ns ehairm.vn of the state execu
tive committee. Ilahu is chairman of the
old committee. The other members of tbo
campaign committee will bo selected later ,

CHICAGO , Juno 17. JAmes B. Waller of
Von Uxcm , Miller & Co. , general agents for
Illinois , and George W. Perkins , Inspector of
agencies for the Now York Lifu insurai.co
company , talked freely regarding the rumor
of the shakiness of the company and claimed
that no foundation existent for such a report.
Both gentlemen were of the opinion that Iho
story was started by representatives of rival
companies. In discussing the story thin-
said : "With ruferunuo to the alleged depre
ciation ot realty value , the statement that
the company' ! ) real estate has suffered a
shrinkage of $ i,0p0,0i)0 ) is preposterous. Our
investments are In Kansas City , St. Paul ,
Minneapolis and Omaha , and us a matter of
fact the property has appreciated in value.
Mr. Beers , president of the company , has
been with it for forty years. Although
president but six years ho has virtually di
rected its policy for thirty. Ho came into
the company when it had but a modest capi
tal and has made It ono of the three giants
controlling the vast amount of business done
today. "

ter from Third Vice President Welsh of the
New York Life Insurance ) co'mpauy. Ho ro-
cltos the terms of Iho charges made against
the company and its mnnngoment In connec
tion with the Spanish-American department.
Ho states that the president , now in Europe ,
hns cabled suggesting that the Insurance de
partment be invited to examine thn uomnnny
to satisfy policy holders who may have been
disturbed. The finance committee of the
company had taken action in accord with this
suggestion and the vlco president's letter
was designed to extend the invitation to
examine the company. Thereupon Superin
tendent Pierce has notified Department Su
perintendent Shannon lo enter upon the ex
amination.

Harry S. Ford , the Omaha suporlntoniient
of ajjonoios for the Now York Llfo , was soon
in regard to the reports concerning the shalti-
ness of thu company , llo charactorl/.ed thei
reports as the work of rival companies. Ho
had received telegraph lo advices from the
inaiil office that the report was entirely un
founded. Speaking of the alleged shrink
ages In values of the company's real estate
investments , ho said nil of theiir real prop
erty was similar to their luvestmunts in this
city , and If there was any shrinkage in value
hero ho fulled to see it. There was abso

CntCAOO , Juno 17. A confnronoo of gen
eral passengur ngonts , roprojontitn ? the
western nnd southwestern rO'ids , > vas held
today nt Chairman FinleJy's office ) to deter
mine iho course ) to be tnlcnn In eon.sequoiuvo ;
ol the Chleiiigo , t Allon'n action In lowering
the round trip excur.sion rate ) between Kan
sas City and the eastern gateways of tfiu
Western Passenger association. The result
was that Chairman Flnloy authorized the )
interested lines to put Into effect tin same
rates adopted by the Alton for tourists , to-
wit : Twenty dollars from Kansas City to
Chicago and return nmlJlH from Kansas City
to St. Louis and return , the now rates to bo
In force on nnd nftor tomorrow. This de
cision of thu chairman is eminently satisfac
tory to thu Alton road , and If all thu roads
stand by it theru l.s not likely to be any
further trouble nbout summer tourist
rates. If the chairman had author-
l/.ed a reduction of thu through rates
to eastern points the Alton would have )
knoclti'il another dollar off its local rates and
would have e-ontlnued this sort of warfare as
long as its opponents s.uv 111 to strike ) back
But it does not object to the action tali.MI
today. As the mutter now stands the pas
Hunger who buys a through tourist lirUet
from Kansas City to the seaboard wl'l ' be tv-
quircel lo pay $1 more ) than if ho bo.ight a
ticliet only to Chicago and St. Louis and th.-n
purchased another to his destination. The
Alton rollers upon this elllTcrenci ) practically
to ruin the sale of through tickets mil ciiublo
it to e-ompeto with the othur lines in spile of
the boycott.
