Yesterday afternoon witnessed a most aus
picious opening of the championship base
ball season In Omaha for 1893 , and aH a con-
Beaiiciicc the goose Is suspended at a very
high altitude.
The weather was charming , the crowd
large , and the game brilliant , exciting nnd
cll played , especlallly on the part of the
Walsh family.
Them was n good deal of apprehension
felt during the morning , owing to the om
inous aspect of the weather. The sky was
veiled with leaden clouds , and there was a
humid flnccldlty that suggested rain. The
average fan was on needles. He couldn't en
dure the thought of having the opening
game postponed for rain , and many n so
licitous glance was cast heavenward dur
ing the dragging hours of the morning ,
nut , for the nonce , Old Jupiter Pluv was
gracious. Ho had frowned merely to give
the cranko a scare , and Instead of pulling
the string to the celestial bath tub he got
n hustle on about lunch time arid shoved all
the threatening nebula off over the horizon ,
leaving an expanse of sky of an Italian hue
o'crspreadlng the budding earth , amidst a
deluge of spring sunshlno warm enough to
bake a hen.
Hut It was base ball weather , arid almost
Instantly the city took on a most lively and
exhilarating air People came out onto
the streets like the little busy bee In a field
of blooming clover , and there was much re
joicing nnd congratulation and n scurrjlng
to and fro , with Handle's pipe foundry as
a gravitating point.
There Is where the parade formed , a glit
tering pageant , composed of the OJd Fellows'
band arid i. long line of barouches' , contain
ing the two teams In uniform , the city and
county ofllclals , military heroes , medical lu
minaries , bankers , lawyers and newspaper
curiosities.
In the long procession of great men I
noticed Mayor IJcrnls , with benignant smile
nnd snow-capped dome , along with the muni
cipal solons , Calm , Howell , Mercer , Ken-
nard , Gordon , Holmes , Lomly , niirkley , Edwards -
wards , Kment and Taylor ; then there was
City Clerk HlRby. City Treasurer llolln ,
Building Inspector Deverlll , Holler Inspec
tor Loudenberg , City Electrician Schurlg ,
License Inspector Hurst , Assistant Treas
urer Fead , Sergeant-at-Arms Planck , Com
missioners lialcombc and Kasper , Secretary
Powers of the Hoard of Public Works , Police
Commlslsoners Coburn , Hartnian and Strlck-
ler , County Treasurer trey , Sheriff Urexel ,
Coroner Maul , County Clerk Sackett and
Hon. Peter Elsasscr. Of course there were
others , but these were th3 great men on ex
hibition.
. From the moment the long line was In
motion the whole metropolis was fairly be
side Itself with the glories of the national
game , and you couldn't distinguish anything
amidst the marlginoui murmur that swelled
upon the air but base hits , runs and outs
The molormen , the newsboys , bootblacks and
chop house habltuee ; In fact , almost every
body gave everthing the go-by to discuss
the Walsh family chances with the husky
brown-clad cohorts from Qulncy.
OUT AT THE PAIUC.
By 3 o clock the Charles Street park pre
sented a stirring picture. The blue sky ,
sunehlnc and starting grass made a back
ground to the study that was entrancing In
deed. The stands wera crowded with gay
spring bonnets and vernal raiment of hun
dreds of ladles , all of which shows what a
hold the glorious sport Is getting1 upon the
gentler ex. Each fair attendant was pre
sented with a souvenir picture and a bouquet
as she pissed In at the gate. On either
side the bleachers were Jammed with eager
faced men and bojs , and altogether the
throng was a magnificent one.
At 3:30 : Mayor Denils , with his bonnet In
his hand , made his appearance In the open
space In front of the grand stand , and In a
few well chosen words welcomed the II-
tlnolsans , and then after n paragraph or two
of advice and encouragement to the Omahogs ,
ho tossed a brand new ball to Umpire Ward
and the game was , ready for tapping.
And It was a great one. In harmony with
all the Inaugural concomitants , and better
than all , Omnlia won.
livery man phyed good ball , even unto
llttlp Willie O'Hrlen , who as yet has had
no opportunity to limber up his symmetrical
limbs , or get the corn cobs out of his hair.
Hill IS fresh from the farm , where he has
been grazing through the hyperborean
months. Sundry representatives of the
Qulncy team were aso | on hand , but some *
hdw or other they became lost In tha shuf
fle. When not engaged In chasing two-
baggers nnd oth'r speedy vegetables over
the velvety outfield , they were slicing the
Jocund atmosphere Into railroad kandwlches
and expending their brawn In wild and de
lirious stabs at the warp and woof that Louis
Napoleon Halsz was weaving across the rub
ber plate.
When the battle was over hut eight of
the Quinces had succcded In sKatlng around
the bases , while no less than fifteen of the
Walshes had made the pilgrimage.
Grasshopper Ulrlch picked up his war club
ind strode to the plate. Ills face was full
of emotion nnd llnccut tobacco , The popu
lace clapped Its hands and flopped Its lungs.
Everylwdy expected Georglo to do some
thing , nnd he did. He rapped a warm ono
flown to McCormack. Mack made an erratic.il
match at It with his left hand , and then his
right. Then he attempted to Jump on It ,
and when he did finally connect and hurl It
Dver to Ptek-a-Boo Veach , the Grasshopper
nas preening his feathers on the bag !
Seeing that ho was easy. Old Hutch like
wise sent ono down to McCormack , nnd In
his rnnddlng ambition to ntone fcr his first
blunder Mack threw this one clear over
Pcek-a-Iloo's fair young head The Grast-
hopper swarmed homo , while Old Hutch
reached third.
Manager Hrackctt arose hastily from his
teat on the bench A foreboding had pene
trated his thoralc department and his mug
nas filled with pain He looked as If he
nould lIKe to go and chloroform himself and
Ircam that he was born dead.
Colonel Shaffer was not so fortunate ns his
predeceisors , He was blotted out at first.
Out Willie O'Brien was coming.
WILLIE MADE A SINGLE.
Prcbably next to himself Willie Is the
itrongcst evidence and ( lie brightest example
now living of what may be done by an am
bitious joiing man when he tries.
He made two slashes In quick suction at
! he bill , and missed It both times , Then he
itruck n Kansas City attitude , looked at
llr , Nichols and seemd to bo contemplating.
Df ccurse this was all assumed , A base ball
player never contemplates , because he has
adlilng to contemplate with. Hut he soaked
her. It vas a clean single , the first of the
pa me , nnd on It Old Hutch scored. Then
Lehman nnd Slagle were extinguished and
the Quinces carna In.
Merles faced Louis Napoleon resolutely ,
md as a reward was allowed to walk. Hut
It was a short promcnaJe , fcr on Mr. Strong-
iri's tap down to Old Hutch both runners
ivre doubled up In pig style.
Tint was tail p'a > lng.
Jack Fsrrtll thtn came along with a hit ,
ul In attempting to steal he was cruelly
ind rudely thrutt aiide by n t'gbtnlng throw
of Petle Lohnian'e.
Irr the tetond thno eld pardi , Paddy Miles
ind Ignatius Donnelly , a pair ot A. P. A.'s ,
furnished easy cuti , Nick throw Paddy out

moon.
In their half the Qulncys made their first
tally ,
McCormack made a two-bapKer , nnd he wag
cheered. The crowd know that It required
a good deal of genuine courage for a man
to appear humorous nnd sparkling otter a
couple ot Innings like Man had played , and
hey meant to encourage htm.
Uoland brought him In on a hit and the ex-
Itrmerit ceased , as Ho was switched oft at
lecond by Miles. Slavic mndo circus catch
f Illckey's fly oud La llocquc fouled out to
ur Pete.
TOUGH ON HAIWY nUACKUTT.
Tor tlio Walsh family a base on balls to
Shufe , an error by La Kocquc and a scion-
Iflu bunt by Lohrnan filled the basoa. The
rottd was wild and so was Brackott. He
arose from his seat and then cat down ngaln
ml when NIckoU plugged Single with the
ball nnd forced Shafe In he was seen In a
hcattd controversy with himself. What fu
: uio generations may say about Mr. Nichols'
.ntelllgetico nn. ! statesmanship I know not ,
but I nm positive Colonel Hracketf * remarks
regarding his pitching ability will be any-
ilnK but complimentary.
Mllog then hit to the pitcher and Wllllo was
killed at the plate , and on Donnelly's hit to
licltcy a like fate befell Pete ; but still the
ba 'i were full , with Louis Napoleon once
moru at the bat.
Nichols quailed before him , His throat
was becoming parched nnd hu had an Indis
tinct Idei tlmt ho was not deporting himself
with tlmt dignity and lucidity for which Mr.
Ilrackett had hircl him. He nerved himself
nnd aimed a liner at Louis' left eir , but LouU
was on the alert nnd ho caught It a whsck
that left a blue dado nil around the horizon
of the park It WKA only a "Ingle , but both
Slnglo tnd Miles scored.
The Quinces cams right back with two
runs , and In the fourth , after Omaha had
garnered her seventh tally on hits by Shaf
fer , O'Brien and Lohmnn , they retaliated
with a gob of three , within one of tying the
score. Hut that was the nearest they over
came to accomplishing this feat , and after
that they were not dangerous nt any point
In the road. To clinch the thing , the
Omahas gathered themselves together once
more In the seventh Inning and fairly stuffed
the early summer zenith with balls.
They had been finding Mr Nichols' curves
with refreshing frequency , and in this Inning
Peter Lehman flitted to the willow like n
fair fragrant posy from the wlldwood glen
torn. He glued his gieat fawn-like eyes to
the ball and rammed his club down Its open
mouth. It burned a hole In the middle of
the afternoon , and Pctlo new over the uni
verse clear to flist base , only to bo forced
out at second by Single , Paddy Miles sallied
forth and welted the ball out into the cast ,
where a cluster of lace-like cloudlets floated
as In a dream. He landed on second. Then
Ignatius said something In a low , cooing
voice , and also leant up against the ball for
a pair of bags. Ilalsz went to first on a
fumble by Hlckcy , while Ulrlch and Old
Hutch hit for a pillow apiece.
You should have seen Manager George
Washington Urockctt , and looked Into the
mysterious workings of his face. He had
been watching the Omahas bend forward one
after another nnd lambaste Mr. Nichols with
their terrible clubs , nnd when the Grasshopper
galloped In with the fifth run that wns too
much. Ho wrinkled his brow up like the lid
of a hair trunk , nnd then sat down and burled
his face In his hands. He wept.
After the game was over Uncle Dave took
It up In his hands and caressed It like a little
red baby. He smoothed Its curls and stroked
Its cheeks , then ho wrapped it up In an old
newspaper , took It home , and varnished It
and burled It behind the barn.
In conclusion , let me repeat that It was
a great game and a great championship open
ing. All of the Omahas played fine ball.
Miles coming In for an especial share of
adulation. Old Hutch , too , was much In ev
idence , and Ulrlch , Lehman , O'Hrlen and
Shaffer. Halsz's pitching was gilt-edged , and
the umpiring of Mr. Ward parexcsllenco It
self. As to the Qulncvs , they were consider
ably off , yet It Is evident that they ore a
formidable aggregation , and will bo up In
the race at the end. Score :

SIOUX CITY , May 2.-Some Interesting
facts In connection with the recent Strange
trials hro were brought out on th ? public > -
tlon this morning of the schedule of bills al
lowed ] at the April session of the board of
supervisors , At the January term of court
cx-Suporvlsor Walter Strange was tiled on
the charge ot obtaining money by false pre
tenses. The state BUbpoemiM about fifty wit
nesses and Strange about COO. The case wets
tried and resulted In a disagreement of the
Jury. At the March term there was another
trial , at which the same witnesses wcro called
again. Strange was finally acquitted , and at
the conclusion ot the cases the presiding
judge ordered the payment of all the witnesses
subpoenaed. At the recent cession of the
county board all the fee claims were accord
ingly allowed. The published schedule shottH
that fully thrceifourths ot tha witnesses tub-
poenaeil by Strange wrro never put on the
stand. They drew fees , however , amounting
In the two cases to nearly $1,000. It was
developed that Strange purchased the fee
chlms of most of th'se witnesses at nominal
figures so that ho drew practically all this
money himself. It Is strongly Intimated tint
Strange- subpoenaed many witnesses for whom
there was no use , with the understanding
that ' he was to rcceivo the lion's share of
the fees , and that the witnesses , who were
mostly poor men , were to be paid for their
trouble with wlntever baline"1 rein lined after
Strange's sluro had come out. There mny
be an Investigation Into the matter.

claiming to be able to demonstrate "pal-
pible evidence of Incompetency. " The com
plainant and defendant were present at the

of "bearing down" in the region of the

When asked why ho had made this state
mcnt , he replied that he knew death was
at hand , but that It was useless to say so
then. Plaintiff further claimed the doctor
was treating his wife for tjphold fever ,
when consulting physicians said she had
no such disease. The plaintiff In the case
will test the matter In the courts , for the
