As I Intimated once before , Individuality
Is a great factor In base hall , as well as In
nil other pursuits of life.
For Instance , on Saturday , when , meta
phorically speaking , all Lincoln was stand-
Ins on Its head , celebrating with wild hur
rahs , stupendous yells , the waving of hats
and Incendiary oratory , the defeat of the
gallant Hourkcs , Papa was concocting a
way for revenge when ho once got Thomas
Jefferson Hlckcy's pumpkin huskers off
tholr own cow jard promontory.
And he hit upon a wise plan , and that
was to commence right at the start and
pound the eternal life out of them , then
kick them out Into the dusty highway and
tell them to hoof It homo and get the rest
of their wheat In before a storm came.
And Pa carried out his plan , and , there
fore , I do not hesitate to- say that he has
moro brain than any man tiat "you or I
can mention. Then there Is Lily Langtry
Langsford , with his Btrawbt-ry short cake
face and trained feetlets ; Captain McVey
and his voice , Kid Secry and his log , Pcdrocs
and his Sandowo arm , and Wlnflold Scott
Camp and his devious curves. I grant
that each , of these men Is peculiar In his
personality , In his physical appearance , but
that Is not what I mean when I speak of
individuality as a great factor In the great
game of base ball.
CONCERNING MR. EBRIGHT.
Physically speaking , no true eye would
pass Buck Ebrlght without observing him.
Ho Is under ordinary slu , Inclined to
mouth , and extremely unreserved In man
ner , yet ho has a unique personality. His
head Is covered with a growth of moss , fast
growing gray with age. His Jaw Is full
'and rugged and always on the move. He
has a rotten eye , a tin car , and a shelving
forehead. ills face Is always dirty , and
yet there. Is something In his general ap
pearance that challenges attention.
When Buck was a boy he had no moro
idea that some day he would onn Lincoln
than an egg has that It will some day be
cock of the walk. So far as I know , Buck
has always been self-reliant , self-helpful ,
and never faltering In his covotlon to Buck.
From an humble country boy he developed
Into the cliltf clerk In a livery stable , and
although ono brief year ago he wasn't
known outside of Thomas Jefferson Hlckey's
thlrtecn-acre farm , today ho Is known
wherever the English language Is spoken
In Lincoln. Whan a mere lad Buck knew
perfectly well that ho had to earn his own
living. Ills father perished at sea on the
sumo boat with Casablanca. Ho entered
base ball , but under a cloud. All his rel
ative wanted him to get into a brick
jard. I know nothing and care less for the
motive which Induced Buck to abjure the
advlco of his friends and seek fa mo In the
field of athletics. It Is stilHcicnt to know
that ho saw fit to do as he did , and with
the rest vvo have no concern whatever.
But Pa made him sorry yesterday that
ho did not heed his friends' advice. Pa's
Individuality , thus you see , is very great.

Addict * ,
War Hook Dcpt. , Omaha Hue.
Many people regard Buck M very much of
n dub , but In Lincoln they think him to ha
the only man who can put Omaha on the
hog train. Ho told them ho could and
they believed him. Hut the ghost of yes
terday linngs over htm now , and with axes
In their hands the whole town will bo at
the depot at noon today to welcome him
home. It atrlkra mo ho will bo led or
forced Into an explanation of his conduct
up here yesterday afternoon. They have
not yet recovered from thcsr surprise at
his audacity nnd sagacity In whaling I'npa
I''r I ilny nnd Saturday. Now they think
It was his sublimity of gall alone , and they
will unanimously demand satisfaction when
they get him back upon the farm today.
It would ho a shame If the good people
of Lincoln should burn Duck nt the stake.
Hut even such an atrocity would not sur-
prlso me they love not Omaha so much.
Hut let us see how Pa's Individuality has
lessened Buck's chances for a life lease
on the stnto capital.
SOMi : INSIGNIFICANT DBTAILS.
There was a tremendous jam at the park ,
ono of the largest congregitlons ot the
year. They all knew that Ilm-k was her
nml they were anxious to witness him open
ills face once moro and break loose on the
velvety sward. Hut ho kept the big crowd
Waiting until 4.30 o'clock before the gnmo
could be cattail. Tour of hta hired hands
hnd to walk here , as IJuck was short Jus
BO many fnres , and the conductor refuser
to start a tab.
Not liking young Mr. Secry'a looks , Ileddy
Dovcreaux presented htm with mllcago to
first In the opening Inning. Then Langs <
ford surrounded the plate. He lifted hh
oft foot and swelled up until ho was nearly
ns largo as Dave Uowe. Then he basted
the Kphcro for a bag , nnd Seery loped to
second. Hutch's neat sacrifice advanced
both , and Captain Mao screwed his bat Into
the ball and Seery escaped.
Tint broke the Ice , but It wns the only
break In that round. Fear flew out to
Jim Corbett nnd I'a refused to carry him
self to first without help.
The farmers duplicated this work.
Tommy McCarthy walked , went to third
on Hughes' swat , and crossed the can on
Speer'a expiration from Paddy Boyle to
Captain Mac.
John L. Sullivan toyed with-the summer
zephyrs , Jim Corbett made a hit , but Buck
wns switched off at first by a quick pickup
and clean throw of the Lily's.
From tnls on out It was Just as easy as
the Itch for the Rourke family. They
walked up and swatted this pitcher and that
with a nonchalance and abandon that made
Buck cavort ami caracole about the HeUf
llko a monkey with the toothache. Score
after score was piled up until they almost
reached the eaves of the grand stand , and
thu crowd began to disperse for fear they
might topple over and hurt some one. In
the Interim every scholar knows what an
Interim Is aged and flecrcplt hen fruit was
ladclcd out to Buck with a lavish hand , and
In his mad passion he bit ort ono of his
thumbs , ran a Knothole in his eye , and spit
up a lung In his frenzied exertions to check
the tidal wave thajt was engulfing him.
'Way long In the seventh inning , when
the Uourkes' tongues were hanging out from
running bases , the clodhoppers managed to
con I'a out ot three sickly little tallies.
WHEN BUCK MADH THC JOURNEY.
In the start Wlnfield Scott , who pitched
a game worthy ot an extra edition and a
colored supplement , in disbursing the balls
happened to stick one into Duck's ribs.
Ho went to first. The Gallic rotator hit
ono hard , but Latigy tore 1t out of the sky
and fired It over to little WillieMcVey , but
Buck plowed on down to second , biting huge
fragments nt scrap iron out of the at
mosphere as ho moved along. Woody's
club got In the way ot one of Wlnllcld's
straights , and with a sharp cry ot Joy Buck
clambered homo like a rhinoceros with
tubeicular consumption. On Piggy's drive
to Boyle , Wood gave up his fair young life ,
then McCarthy and Hughes made scratch
hits In succession , and three tallies were
being stroked and cnressed by Thomas
Jelterson Hlckey on the bench.
Speer hit a high ono out Into the blue
vault over Pedroos , and of course was wlth-
diavvn from circulation.
But when Pa came right back , with all
the grace and beauty of golden sandaled
Hermes , nnd mangled and lacerated Colonel
Davoreaux until he resembled a big chunk
of quaking liver , both Thomas Jefferson
and Buckerlno passed Into a semi-conscious
state , where everything seemed llko a float
ing vision of bliss. The nerves of their
bodies were numbed , and their excited ,
overwrought brains became quiet and peace
ful.
Papa had only made seven runs.
When the battle was finally over and the
score stood 20 to G In favor of Pa , Buck
turned sadly to Thomas JelTorson HlcUey ,
and clasping his honest , toil-worn hand ,
cried In a voice choked with tears and corn
husks :
"After all , Tom , a man's best friend's
his mother. "
The score :

LONDON , July 1C. There Is without doubt
greater Interest being shown In toJay's contest -
test between tlio Oxford ami Yiilo Athletic
teams than was over shown In any previous
gatherings of athletes In Qrc.it Britain.
When the contest was first proposed hero ,
little Interest was taken In It by the public ,
but snlco the arrival of the Yale team , curi
osity has grown until everybody who tal.es
note ot coilego contest ) ! Is on the qullvo
of expectation. The Interest In this contest
overshadows for the tlmo being that taken
In other sports , not oven excepting the Brlt-
annla-Vlgllant race. It Is thought the mis
haps that have befallen the contestants dur
ing their practice Is likely to modify what
would have been a very high standard of re
sults. Nevertheless a grand exhibition Is
anticipated. All the details of the contest
have now been settled and the order of th
program fixed , but as ytt It Is kept secret.
'Ilio newspapers have devoted much spue ,
to articles on the condition and perform
anees of the athletes , and this morning the ;
publish long preliminary notices of the con
test. The Times , giving Its final conclusions
says Fryo of Oxford has Jumped twenty
three feet In practice , and this may reduci
the length of his Jump today. Sheldon o
Yale should , the Times thinks , Jump twenty
three feet In spite of his wrenched ankle
Swanwlck of Oxford also Injured his heel
and this may handicap him the high jump
Still ho 1ms cleared ilvo feet , ten and 0110
quarter Inches , and ho Is certainly superlo ;
In form to Cady. Fry of Oxford did 101
yards In ten and one-fifth seconds In 1S93
and the practice of the Yale men affoids ni
ground for supposing either of the Yale mcr
In this event will run the distance in les ;
time.
If Sanford of Yale Is really unsound , tin.
result of the quarter mile- dash will probably
be between Jordan of Oxford and Pond o
Yale. On paper the mile run seems a cer
talnty for Oxford , as Greenhow's best tlmi
Is 4:223-5. : It Is difficult to come to a con
elusion about the half mile event. Shouk
this bo decided before the mile race , ani
Pond stands , Woodhull will alone represent
America. If Greenhow can take part In botli
races so as to do himself full Justice , that ol
them lie race should be the most exciting
contest of the day. In the hurdles boll :
teams claim almost equal time. The bes
tlmo of Oakley of Oxford Is 0:103-5. : Tin
conditions will differ from the America :
system , as Instead of a cinder track and
loose hurdles there will be a grass course
and fixed obstacles. Judging from the prac
tlce of both teams the Yale men seem to be
quicker and morBraiithe than the English
men , especially dn tlio first of the course.
On the other hand -tho Oxfords are better
between the hurdles nnd arc practiced more
In running the hvhole number of hurdles
Instead of a few as < lld the Americans. Most
people predict tnib 'Yftlo men will be easy
victors , but many good judges would not be
surprised to see Oxford win.
Ilegardlng the ohammer and weight , Yale
Is represented by such giants that Oxford
appears to have 'no real chance , the Ameri
cans doing forty-two feet In puttln the shot
Mallng's best performance is thirty-sever ,
feet last week. Robertson's biggest throw
of the hammer is 113 feet , the hammer
having a handle tllree'and a half feet long.
The stewards for Oxford will be Messrs.
Jackson and SheSfmah , and for Yale Slier-
rill and VanlngenI *
The Sporting L'lfe .predicts Jordan ot Ox
ford will win tho"100 yards dash and quarter
mlle events ; SwanrnicK the high jump ; Wood-
hull the half mile ; Grcenhowo the mile
Fry the long jump , and Carey the hurdles.
HIcKok and Brown , it sajs , are both easily
ahead of the Englishmen on weight throwing.
They will both beat Robinson In tin owing
the hammer.

CHICAGO , July 15. Quite a sensation was
created here today In the First Presbyterian
church when Marvin Hugliltt , president of
the Chicago & Northwestern Knllway com
pany , nroso nnd made n vigorous reply tea
a statement nyido by Prof , llcmls In his ad
dress on the strllio and Us lesson. Prof.
llcmls had said In part If the railroads cx
pec their men to be law -abiding , they must
sot the example. "I do not attempt to Justify
the strikers , " said he , "In their boycott of
railroads , bu railroads themselves not long
ago placed an offending railroad under the
ban nnd refused to honor tickets or trans
port freight ot that road. Such boycotts nro
no moro to bo justlllcd than those of the
strikers. Let here bo some equality In these
things. "
At this point , much to the surprise of the
congregation. Mr. Hughltt left his seat and
took a stand Immediately lu front of Prof
Bemls. As soon as the last words of the
benediction had been uttered , he made a
vigorous reply to the professor's statement
and demanded an Instance of a bojcott In
stituted by the railroads.
Mr. Bern Is replied Instances were only
too numerous , whcro railroads had asso
ciated to rcfuso to honor tickets or trans
port freight over some offending line.
"Hut that Is not a boycott , " said Mr.
Hughltt.
Prof. Bcmls replied that If It waa not a
boycott , ho was willing to let the matter
rest. After a few remarks by Mr. Hughltt
the matter was dropped.

EGG HAUBOIl CITY. N. J. , July 15.
Forest fires that have been raging In this
section for several days past have swept
over an area of more than 5,000 acres. Last
night the condition of affairs looked serious
and the residents for several miles around
wore called out to fight the flames. Al
though thow met with some success In
changing the course of the nre. there Is still
great danger that many buildings will bo
destroyed. Among the buildings already
burned are those on the farm of Congress
man J. J. Gardener , Including his fine coun
try residence. Near Bridgeport the dwelling
of Captain Gus Williams was also destroyed.
A fierce lire Is now sweeping through the
dense woods in the lower part of Galloway
township and Is headed directly towards
Hewittown. H Is Impossible to form nny
estimate of the loss at present. The heaviest
losers , however , will bo the owneis of the

Military authorities appear to be oxliaut-
Ing every resource that will add to the
rapidity of communication between the field
of battle and the commanding officer. For
a long time the telegraph was mainly re
lied on for the Instant transmission of In
telligence , and then the telephone was
brought Into active use. It has been re
cently seriously proposed that nlds-de-camp
and other canlers of Information In tlmo
of war should bo taught ( shorthand. In order
to write down Important communications
with all possible speed , and the latest move
In this direction is the Introduction of the
typewriter oni the scene of military opera
tions. One of the novel features of a recent
military tournament In England was the
use of a typewriter on the battlefield for
the purpose of recording messages from sig
nalers. It Is stated that the typewriter
operator was also an expert cyclist , who had
his Hemlnston mounted on the handles of
his machine. Hiding In and out among ( he
horses and gun carriages , which he did with
out the slightest mishap , whenever ho came
to a standstill ho instantly braced up the
cycle by a handy contrivance and pounded
away at the typewriter while In the sadddle.
The message , when completed , was sent to the
commanding officer In the rear by means of
a trained dog.

Johamih Krnmcr , n drcssmnker living on
Howard street , between Twelfth and Thir

a painter , wns murderously assaulted br
Clmi les Gromelln , nn employe nt Ilcr's whole
sale liquor house , with a fence picket ,
aronielln struck liruner several hard blows
nnd cut n three-Inch , gneh over Ills right
cje , which penetrated to the skull. Numer
ous other bruises wcro made on his head
and ho nearly bled to death before the potlco
suigoou could reach tlio station. Both men
wore locked up , and Qromclln charged with
dcndly assault.
The trouble was occasioned by Oromellu's
Jealousy. According to the stories of all
the Interested parties It was learned that
ho had been payhig attention to illss Kramer
for the past icven months. During thin
tlmo they became engaged to bo mcrrled.
On July 4 iiho went to Ida Grove , In. , to
visit her patents. By strange colncldonco
llruner went to the same town to visit his
brother , who Is a merchant. Wlillo Miss
Kramer was at home she told her mother
of her engagement to Qromoiln nnd showed
her a picture of the man. Thnt settled his
fate. As soon ns Miss Kramer's mother saw
the picture she offered strong objections to
the approaching nuptials , mid , llko a dutiful
daughter , Johanna promised to break off her
relations with the clerk In the liquor store.
Up to this time she and Brunor had never
met , but they happened to return on the
same train , nnd as she had n largo number
of bundles to carry he kindly offered his
assistance , which was accepted and the two
became acquainted.
On her icturn to Omaha Miss Kramer told
Giomclln that she would not marry him , a
It wns against her mother's wishes. Thla
made him very angry and ho has threatened
to choke her , so she says.
Last night as Bruner was passing Miss
Kr.uncr'b homo she saw him and liivltod
him In. Shortly afterward , in company with
her joimger sister , they began playing cards.
About that time Gromelln came , and looking
In from the street ho saw the party sitting at
the table. Ho went to the door nnd wns In
vited In. On beholding the rather good lookIng -
Ing stranger he thought ho had dlsonerod
the cause of the breaking of the cngngo-
ment. In on Instant his Jealous anger boiled
over and stepping to the fence ho toro off a
heavy picket nnd before any ono wis aware
of his Intentions ho hnd attacked Bruner.
Bruner managed to grapple with Gromelln
and threw him to the floor , holding him until
OHicers Curry and Uollard , who were a short
distance away , could rome to his assistance.
At the station neither of the men would
talk much about the affair , but Gromelln
said : "I like dot girl , but I dond llko dot
feller placing cards mil her. "
Miss Kiamer talked freely about the
trouble and snld thnt she was done with
Gromelln forever , and had told him so , but
he persisted in callnlg and was so savage
that she was getting afraid that ho might
assault her. She said that she nnd Brunor
were only chance ncqualntanccs , having rel
atives In the same town.
