After the players In the Omaha-St. Joe
Kama on the Vinton street grounds got
the let cracked oft the barka of their
lisnds yesterday afternoon they put up a
pretty fair quality of ball. Rourke's men
let the visitors have fun for a while then
they loosened up and made three straight
from the down country players.
.Dtcher Root made his bow In the box
for the home team, and if he learns to
control the ball before he kills anybody
or commits any other mpltal offense with
it, he will make the nolilext Roman of
them all. He has speed that Is a revela
tion and curves that are destined to muke
the best of batsmen look half a dozen wa.vs
for Sunday. But yesterday ho was wilder
than the proverbial hawk and tried to kill
off the entire St. Joe team. lie crarked
McBrlde In the back and made him limp
to flrat; he smashed Slsler, and he walked
with his hand on tlx" plane; he banged
lirlden lo the head and laid him out stiff,
and he punched Lesotte In the rib in a way
that made him groan aloud. He gave six
men a base on balls and aside from this,
truck out ten men and pitched, batted and
fielded his position so well that he won
the game. Root Is of the real cube va
riety when he gets control, St. Joe only
made six scattering hita off him. that, j
with his own two errors and one by Downs,
which was excusable, netted them a run
In the first, one in the second, two In the
eighth and one in the ninth tarings, a
total of five.
Pa'a boya never opened up until the
lurky seventh. Then a bunch of hits con
tributed by Dolan, Thomas, Downs, Root
and Bhlpke brought In five. Tn the next.
Wis by Thomas, Downs, Freese, Root and
farter were good rr three more runs, and
that settled it. Every man on the Omaha
team played tho game all the time. The

clusion stated, at an early hour Tuesday
morning. ,
Under the law the verdict for the plain
tiff In a cause must be not less than 88 1
In order to put the costs upon the de
fendant. Considerable curiosity was mani
fested by persons Interested in the case as
to how the jury arrived at the sum of 81-06.
Attorneys Ourley and Shields, who volun
teered to represent Westberg, had no re
marks to make after the verdict.
The testimony In the case brought out
some interesting Information with refer
ence to Mr. estberg s character and
habits. He called to support his demand
for reparation of damages a number of
former city officials and old cronies to
testify to his good character, but every one
of them, on cross-examination, mads ad
missions that gave the plaintiff s case
away.
Xoay When Drinking;.
Senator Charles L. Saunders, for example,
who was formerly deputy city treasurer.
testified that he sometimes met Westberg
in saloons and that when drinking he got
noisy and excited. Saunders had drunk
with Westberg chiefly In Goodly Bracket!,
and while he snld he would not consider
him a good all-round drinker, he was al
ways drinking whenever he met him in
saloons.
John Grant, who did business with him
as city contractor, testified that while
Westberg was never to his knowledge suffi
ciently under the Influence of liquor to In
terfere with the transaction of business ha
had seen him take two or three drinks on
occasions, Westberg's preference when
drinking with him being high-balls.
"Will you tell the Jury what a high-ball
Is?" asked Attorney Connell.
"A high-ball," answered Mr. Grant, "Is
Just a little whisky of any kind and Ice and
seltzer In It. A very palatable drink. Once
In a while I would meet him and he would
say, 'Let us go and taka a drink.' I remem
ber going to Goodly Bruckers and ha
treated twice and I treated once. I thought
he waa pretty generous, but we were sober.'
Knew He Drank; Every Day.
Henry C. Sharp, Westberg's former dep
uty, to the question "Did you know that
urtng this time Westberg was a regular
drinker?" answered: "I know he would
drink every day." Vet ha Insisted that he
waa strictly temperate because in his opin
ion he did not drink too much.
A. C. Powers, aarnthor contractor's agent-
after testifying that Westaerg's character
was good, admitted he had seen him drink
some and that he would clasa him "with
the drinking men.'" . And similar testimony
was given by Westberg's successor, Comjs-
troller Lobcck.
The most pointed evidence came from
John H. Butler, another of Westberg's wit
nesses, who admitted that Westberg drank
nearly every day during the daytime and
during business hours.
Here are some of the, questions and an
swers:
Q. Do you know a saloon within a radius
of seven blocks to- the east and four blocks
to the south and north that Westberg has
not patronized during the past three years
prior to the bringing of this suit?
A. He may have. I know John was a
little particular about what be drank.
Q. What did he seem to prefer?
A. He seemed to prefer the very best
kind of whisky that could be got over
the bar.
Q- Good old Kentuckey Bourbon?
A. Sometimes. Yes.
Q. Did he sort of vibrate between that
and Krug's beer, or Metz and Lents?
A. No. I never saw John drink beer a
ery great deal.
Q- Did he Indulge In high-balls?
A. Once In awhile. Yes.
Q. Was high-balls a sort of a favorite
regular drink with him?
A. I can't say. It Is only my impression
that John liked It straight better than
mixed.
Admits Being Drnik,
The witnesses for the defense went Into
great detail as to the Instance when West
berg was drunk, noisy and bolstrous.
Westberg himself, called in rebuttal,
declared that he had been positively drunk
only three times In his recollection and
that tliat was during campaigns.
Westberg's big Dane dog "Glory,"
figured in almost all the testimony. Wit
nesses declaring that the dog was always
sober, although they were not sure that
ta owner was. One of the Jurors, explain
ing afterward the B centa In addition to the
dollar In the verdict, said that the S centa
waa to buy meat for the dog.

Constipation entirely conquered A euro norms ranch to you.
So mildly natural are tho effects of Dr. Carhttd's
German Uvir Powders upon tho intestines, that
Constipation passes quickly before it. The
majority of laxatives leave a scalding, burning
sense of . pain, a condition wholly avoided when
our remedy is used. Thus the process of healing
immediately begins and tho entire actions of the
boweU are easy and comfortable. Well-known
physicians are recommending this specific in their
practice when treating Constipation. The sense
of fullness after eating is a direct result of abnor
mal conditions. Certain dietists go to extremes
and advise patients to cut off their allowance of
food almost to a point of starvation, as if the
functions of the human body could get along with
out nourishment for a single dayl Such strenuous
measures are wholly unnecessary, neither does one
need to be constantly purging the system with this
or that dru? put up and cold by unscrupulus
dealers. An occasional use of our Uver Powder
makes digestion easy. That sallow look leaves
the skin, tho extremities become warm, and eating
becomes once more a pleasure as well as a neces
sity., There is no case of Constipation, however
chronic, that cannot be wholly eradicated by first
going to the root of the trouble. All forms of
indigestion are the results of an inactive liver or
kidneys. Then follows Constipation and Piles,
together with an accumulation of gases in the
bowels. General debility at last overtakes the
patient, and there is a loss of courage in all he
undertakes. Each and everyone of these morbid
conditions can be obviated by a moderate use of

The Kock Island System forms a part of the
Scenic Line across the continent.
Through car service is as follows:
Standard sleeper daily, Chicago and Omaha to
San Francisco.
Through tourist sleepers to Kan Francist-o and
Los Angeles daily.
The trans-continental traveler who has never
seen Colorado and Utah from a car window does
not know how wonderfully beautiful the best
scenery in the United States is. For hundreds of
miles the line runs in full view of snow-capped
IMakH, rushing rivers and through frowning
caverns. Take it for that reason alone if you
winh, but also because no other line crossing the
continent surpasses it in excellence of service.
