Local Interest has all but died In the
Western league pennant race, the Omaha
team being- hopelessly out of the running.
The sighs of relief that are usually heaved
a the crowd leaves tho grand stand after
the last game were allowed to escape long
, ago, and most of the fans have already
turned to their winter occupation of telling
bow It was In years gone by. Only on
thing remains and that doesn't bother the
fans a great deal. Papa Bill Rourke sees
a vacancy where about $10,000 used to be.
Whenever one of the home knockers tells
you he didn't try to get a winning team this
year, Just remind him of that fact. It
doesn't look right that even a base ball
magnate would let a few dollars stand be
tween him and success, particularly when
be knew that by spending the money ha
would get a whole lot more back In proflu.
Bill Isn't an easy loser, but he's facing the
muslo as gamely as he can, and will pay
up every dollar, although he has to dip Into
the surplus awfully deep to do It. When
the season ends he will mark a red Ink
balance on hie ledger and
Well, It's a hopeless fool who doesn't
learn from his own experience, and If you
think Papa Bill belongs to that clans, you've
got another guess coming. He Isn't saying
a word for publication, but ever since ha
got It through his head that he couldn't
make a showing In the race this year he
has been laying his plans for next summer,
and It Is a good bet right now that there
will be some new faces In the Omaha line
when the gong taps next spring; and that's
only half of It. BUI has now some eon
tracts with young persons who have been
cutting large gaps In the base ball field
during the past season, and he'll put on a
team next year that will make the other
boys go a few. He Isn't winning the pen
nantnever did win one on paper In his
life, but he Is getting up a team that can
play fast ball, and one that will be In the
game from the day the season opens until
the schedule Is finished. Several of the men
who have worn the Omaha uniform for
some years will not be with us any longer
Not that Rourke questions the loyalty of
any of them; he has only kind words for
all, but he realises that their usefulne.
In Omaha Is ended. This might appear to
ba enough to damn them offhand; but It
Isn't, at all. Experience has proven time
and again that a player may be a compara
tive failure with one team and a star with
another In the same league, and be honest
with both. It Is simply one more feature
of base ball that cannot be explained.
Rourke has named In confidence one or two
of the men he expects to have on his team
next season, and It la not violating that con
fidence to say that they look extremely
good and will ba of great value to the team.
60, get ready for 1904.
Omaha hasn't been the only disappoint
ment this season. Denver has fared even
worse than we have. With practically the
same' team that mads a driving finish of
the race lrf 1802, the Orliilles have wallowed
along In ho ruck all summer, unable at
any time , to strike their gait, and If It
hadn't; been for the opportunity they have
had to walk over the Rourke family they
wouldn't be anywhere In the standing
table. Packard has paid the highest sal
aries of any and Is sorely disappointed that
ha couldn't get returns. . Ha will quit a
big loser on the season, too, for the at
tendance In Denver has been even less
than in Omaha, and the shrinkage in re
ceipts ! correspondingly greater. But
Packard Is like Rourke; he proposes to
keep right In the game and will try to put
a team In the field next season that can
deliver the goods. 8t. Joseph has been
tha surprise. With a team that was thor
oughly demoralised at the opening of the
season, and with a question of whether
salaries .would ba' paid, with desertions
and everything else to make trouble, the
Paints have been In the running all the
time and have proved stubborn fighters
against every opponent. Rohe deserves
much credit for his handling of the team
and the work he has gotten out of the men.
Kansas Clty.Teorla and Des Moines have
done Just aoout what was expected of
them. Everttt started the season at a
terrino pace, but couldn't hold It, although
ha has kept his team right near tha land
ers all the time. His men have' played
consistent ball all the way and are en
titled to hold second place. Nor is It any
disgrace for them to be seoond to the
magnificent team Hughy Duffy has handled
during tha season. Milwaukee has cer.
talnly shown as fast ball as any on ever
wants to sea. Duffy Is well entitled to first
place. Hla team will be largely drafted
into tha major leagues. Btona and O'Neill
go back to tne Boston Americans, Oatlna
and Kenna go to tha Philadelphia Na
tionals, Cockman will go to Cleveland and
It la not unlikely that Braun will be with
na of tha big league teams.
Nothing mora la heard of tha majceup of
tha circuit for 1904. All of the magnates
have ceased to talk, for the time. Is too
Close for action, but It Is about as sure
as anything can be that the route will
be changed. Neither the American asso
ciation nor the Western league can stand
anomer season or disaster like the one
now drawing to a close, and each Is will
Ing to give up tha fight; the only qucs
tlon Is on what terms. In Omaha the only
wish expressed Is that the city land In
company of Its clans. We have the bent
base ball city In the west and all wa ask
Is to be given a chance.
Friday morning at Cincinnati the peace
agreement was signed and a step taken
which will put bane ball on the soundest
basis It ever had. With a thorough un
derstandlng among the men who have
their money Invested, and with well de
vised machinery for enforcing rules and
regulations, the elements of uncertainty
In the business are largely removed and
the business element of the game will
get a showing. Stipulations for the con
trol of players were the most Important
features to be panned on at the Cincinnati
conference; In fact, about the only point
over which there was any hitch Was the
draft price and tha method of payment.
It was decided that the draft price for
class A players should be $1,000, and the
money should be paid at the time the
player Is claimed. This gives the minor
leagues ample protection, and means that
a player must make good In the little ones
befoie he gets Into the big. It means
that the annual raid will lose Its terror
and the practice of managers of the big
leagues of holding what might be termed
mass conventions of the minor league
piayers every tan and spring will coma
to an end. Now the manager will select
his players on the season's records, with
due regard for the reserve rights of the
minor league teams, and the managers of
the minors will be able to tell wfth some
certainty who they will be able to hold
from one season to the next With the new
agreement In effect, there Is a strong
prospect of the Pacific Coast league com
ing in, thus doing away with the only
"outlaw" league and making organized
base ball an absolute reality.
Some grim consolation Is found In the
fact that the "outlaw" league has turned
cold shoulder on the "grasshoppers" on
the coant, and the players who jumped
to the Lucas league last spring have be
fore them the prospect of a dreary win
ter on snowballs and a long walk home
after that. Some day even the base ball
player will get It through his head that it
pays to be on the square.
Whatever consolation there may ba In
the statistics concerning the performance
of the Omaha team for tha season up to
date. Is here offered.

The Omaha High school 'is doing good
work, having regular practice every day
on the field back of rne high school. Oedrge
Thompson will captain the team this year,
and will play tackle. The applicants for
positions seem to be fast men and 'weigh
on an average of 166 each. Big Bill Engle
hart. captain of the '01 team and William
Griffith will In all probability act as
coaches. The new men Include Andy
Hardy, Victor Bwedburge, Benjamin Ben
son," Porter, Putnam, Burnett and Loftus,
all candidates for positions back of the
line. For guard are Peterson, Rogers, Mc
K'ell and Shields; tackle, Baxter; ends,
Fleming and Thompson; center, Arthur
Smith and quarterback, Grant Benson,
Toder and Shields. Manager Thompson
says that they have ta strong addition in
Porter, who was last year with the Genoa
Indians. He will doubtless be found at
fullback. McKell was with Des Moines
last year and will be a strong man at either
end of the line. The schedule as far as
completed follows: September 19, Council

Foot ball fans are beginning to wake up
all over the city. Vacant lota every here
and there are dotted with enthusiasts In
uniform working hard to master the un
ruly leather sphere. Omaha will likely
have but two strong teams In the field,
while numerous other weaker ones may
spring up from which material can be
picked to strengthen the leaders. The
weather Is Just a little bit too warm yet
for practice, but the boys' are working like
beavers.
Crelghton college comes to the front with
a professional coach this season, having

Among the many places and objects about
the little town of Florence that are inter
eating because of 'their historical assocla
tlon with the early Mormon settlement at
that place Is one thst Is not so familiar
lo the people as Is "Brlghim Toung's Tree,
or the old Mormon burying ground.
This Is a large cave located on the farm of
John Tldeman, a mik and a half north of
Florence. Although It Is not belloved that
the cave was dug by the Mormons them
selves, yet, as nearly as can be ascertained
It belonged to the same time and la closely
associated with many of the stirring lnd'
dents of the Mormon settlement,
Aside from Its historical Interest, the
cave is also interesting In Itself. Without
exception, It Is the largest place of Its kind
In eastern Nebraska, and, when the early
period at which It was built Is taken Into
consideration, It becomes something of an
engineering curiosity. When It becomes
known that the cave was first built by out
laws and horee thieves as a hiding place
ror themselves and their plunder, Its pe
cullar construction, location and the amount
of work that must have been involved In Its
digging are more easily accounted for,
Half a mile back from the Missouri river
Is a high knoll-like bluff, from tha summit
of which can be obtained a view of the sur
rounding country and all approaches for
miles In every direction. The river and
bluffs from this point can be kept under
surveillance by one watchman, and a bet'
ter place could hardly have been selected
ror an outlaws' rendezvous. It Is In the
summit of this hill that the cave Is located.
Coacealed Entrance.
The main entrance to tha cave Is from
tho east side of the bluff, about 100 feet
from the summit. Although there la now
brick entrance built up at this place, yet
at the time the location of the cave first
became known there was nothing but
mall hole, well concealed, which was Just
large enough to admit the entrance of
horse. Entering at this place, the visitor,
with the aid of a torch, finds himself In
what appears to he a long narrow tunnel.
running far back Into the bluff. The tunnel Is
round. In shape with rough sides, and is
Just high enough to admit of a person's
standing up comfortably.
For the first 100 feet or mora tha tunned
runs straight into the heart of the bluff.
until It reaches a point Just below the very
summit. Here another entrance has been
constructed, but one which the average
person would not care to make use of In
euterlng the cave. It la nothing more
than a small shaft, just large enough to
admit of the passage of a person's body,
and, to a person on the summit of the
bluffs outside, would appear to be nothing
dui a wen, some forty or fifty feet deep.
Down tha entire distance of the shaft small
steps are cut la the hard clay for the use
of the hands and feet of anyone who might
be taking this rather precarious route of
getting in or out of the cave. This shaft
furnishes a small gleam of light to the In
terlor of the cave and Is also the only
means 01 supplying the cave with fresh air.
Clever Arrangement
At this point the cave turns sharply to the
right and. circling around for a distance of
200 or 800 feet, finally Joins the other end of
the cave at Its very entrance. It Is this pe
culiar feature of the construction of the
cave that shows the keen insight of the men
who were building It. Although the cave
has two ends, yet. they both terminate at
one small entrance.
Two men placed with plenty of am
munition could protect the entire cave and
Its contents from a regiment of soldiers.
Nothing but dynamite or heavy artillery
could dislodge them., and the defenders
could figljt away for a lifetime, perfectly
confident that there was no possible way
by which they could be attacked In the rear
or surprised In any manner whatever.
One thing that excltea the wonder of a
visitor to this curiosity la tho amount of
labor that must have been involved In
digging the cave. Although there was no
rock through which the diggers had to
blast their way, yet the digging of a
cave 400 feet long, 7 feet high and 8
or ten feet wide Is no small task, especially
when the work Is done at a period when
It Is presumed there were no other utensils
than a few spades and pickaxes.
The early history of tho cave Is clouded
In more or less obscurity. It Is presumed
to have been in existence for twenty or
thirty yeaVs before Its location became
generally known. Having been dug for
nefarious purposes, the cave was naturally
kept a secret by those most directly Inter
ested In It. For years before anyone knew
of Its existence the scattering Inhabitants
for many miles fn all directions had 'been
preyed upon by horse thieves and outlaws
of every kind. Droves of horses would be
rustled off In the night, their tracks would
be followed for a few miles next morning,
usually to tho edge of the river, and then
all traces would be lost What became of
them no one ever knew.
Storehouse for Loot. ,
Other valuable property In no small
quantities was also stolen and all trace of
the thieves would be Just as mysteriously
lost. It was generally believed that the
thieves took the property down the river
to some city several hundred miles farther
down and was there disposed of, but all
Investigations along this line failed to
reveal any large boats or anything that
would Indicate such a course being pur
sued. When, at last, the existence of the
cave became known, much of the mystery
waa cleared up.
It was then easily seen how the horse
thieves could lead an animal down to the
river's edge, take it down the river in a
boat to a point opposite the cave and then
In a few moments more have It effectively
concealed. Other property las secreted In
the same way. Here It would be taken
care of for a few days until a favorable
opportunity arose to transfer It to some
point where It could be disposed of.
Even after the existence of the cave be
came known It still continued to be used
as a rendesvous for various gangs 0 out
laws. They were too strong In numbers
and too well armed to be driven off by a
few surrounding settlers. It became neces
sary for them to stop their predatory ex
cursions In the Immediate vicinity, but
tbelr operations were continued In the
more outlying districts, and the cava con
tinued to ba a sort of storehouse and ship
ping point for spoils. As the country be
came more thickly rattled the vigilance
committees became altogether too inter
ested In tha place and the outlaws were
gradually thinned out until tha cava fell
into disuse.
Finally tha land on which It was located
waa taken up by Mr. Pries, the present
proprietor of Pries' lake, and in 1878 be
came the property of John Tldeman, the
present owner. Tha cava is not used for
anything at present, except aa a plaoa of
Interest for a few pleasure seekers, who
occasionally picnic in that vicinity.
By keeping it securely locked Mr. Tlde
maa haa preaerved It In its original con

Every season has its own diseases, but Rheumatism
belongs to all, for when it gets well intrenched in the
system, and joints and muscles are saturated with
the poison, the afhes and pains are coming and go
ing all the time, and it becomes an all-the-year-round
disease ; an attack coming as quickly from sudden chill
ing of the body when overheated, a fit of indigestion or
exposure to the damp, Easterly winds of Summer as from
he keen, cutting winds and freezing atmosphere of Winter.
Rheumatism never comes by accident. It is in the
llood and system before a pain is felt. Some inherit
t strong predisposition or tendency; it is born in them;
nit whether heredity is back of it or it comes from im
pudent and careless ways of living, it is the same always and at all seasons. The real cause
f Rheumatism is a polluted, sour and acid condition of the blood, and as ;t flows through
he body deposits a gritty, irritating substance or sediment in the muscles, joints and
iervest and it is these that produce the terrible pains, inflammation and swelling and the
aisery and torture of Rheumatism. No other disease causes such pain, such wide-spread suffer-
ng. 11 aeiorms ana cripples its thousands, leaving
hem helpless, miserable invalids and nervous wrecks.
When neglected or improperly treated, Rheumatism
ecomes chronic, the pains are wandering or shifting
rom one place to another, sometimes sharp and cutting,
gain dull and aggravating. The muscles of the neck,
boulders and back, the joints of the knees, ankles and
1 .(. . .Ma j-a . a .
msts, are most otten tne seat ot pain. Countless lmi-
aents are rubbed' upon the affected parts, and plasters are applied to getrelief; but such
hings do not reach the poisoned blood; their effect is only temporary; they are neither cura
ive nor preventive. The blood must be purified, the acid poison counteracted, and all
ritadng matter removed from the circulation before permanent relief and a thorough
ure is effected, and no remedy does this so certainly and so quickly as S. S- S. It con
lins not only purifying and tonic properties, but solvent qualities as well, all these being
lecessary in eradicating the poison and making a complete and lasting cure of Rheumatism.
3. S. S. cleanses the blood of all irritating matter and the acid particles are dissolved and filtered
ut of the system, thus relieving the muscles and joints and removing all danger of future
attacks. Under its tonic effect the nervous system regains its
normal tone and the appetite and digestion improve, resulting
in the upbuilding of the general health. S. S. S. contains
no Potash or minerals of any description, but is guaranteed
purely vegetable. Old people will hnd it not only the best blood
purifier, but a most invigorating tonic just such a remedy
as they need to enrich the blood and quicken the circulation.
Whether you have Rheumatism in the acute or chronic
stage, the treatment must be internal, deep and thorough in order tobe lasting. Never be sat
isfied with anything less than an absolutely perfect cute. This you can get by the use
f S. S. S., the oldest and best purifcr and greatest of all tonics.
Write us fully and freely about your case, and medical advice will be given without
charge, and our special book on Rheumatism will be mailed free to all desiring it.
