The Boston Americans are the
champions of the world, defeating the
Philadelphia Nationals in four out of
five games of the series. The games,
as a whole, were among the best ever
played in the big series, and except the
last game were notable for the lack
of hits on both sides. Alexander, the
main stay of the Philadelphia team
was the only pitcher to win a game
from Boston, he having won the first
game played last Friday. In his sec
ond start, last Monday, he was defeat
ed, all the breaks of the game going
against him. Wednesday’s game was
the most exciting one of the series.
Philadelphia got the jump on their op
ponents by getting two runs across in
the first inning, but Boston got one in
the second and one in the third and
tied it up. Philadelphia again took the
lead by getting two runs in the fourth,
one a home run. They held this lead
up to the eighth inning when Boston
tied the game up with two scores. In
the ninth Hooper put one over the
fence for a home run and Philadelphia
was retired in order and Boston for
the second time in four years is the
champion ball team of the United
[ States.
Death of John Kane.
John Kane, for many years police
man in this city, died suddenly last
Friday morning of heart failure. The
remains were taken to Wisner, Neb.,
Sunday afternoon and interred in the
cemetary there, that city having been
the home of the family for many
years.
Deceased was born in Scranton, Pa.,
in 1855, and was sixty years of age at
the time of his death. His youth and
young manhood was spent in the city
of his birth and he was married there
in September, 1877, to Cecilia Ann
Boyle who with eight children are left
to mourn the death of a kind and lov
ing husband and father.
He had always been imbued with a
longing for the west and the year after
his marriage he moved to Nebraska
and located at Wisner, where he re
mained until 1888 when he moved to
Cornlea, Neb., where he resided until
he moved to this city in the spring of
1903, where he resided up to the time
of his death.
The year after his arrival here he
was appointed to the police force and
held that position continuously until
last spring and was a good and effici
ent officer and a terror to evil doers.
Weary Willies learned to give O’Neill
a wide berth and if they persisted in
visiting the city and did not vacate the
city upon orders “Jack” threw them in
and when they were released they
were very anxious to seek other fields,
where the officers were not so strict.
Mr. Kane was the father of nine
children, all of whom are living with
the exception of one daughter, Cecelia,
who died at Wisner in 1888, at the age
of four years. The children are: Mrs.
Frank Leahy, Winner, S. D., T. P.
Kane, Linwood, Neb., John Kane,
Eagle Grove, Iowa, J. P. Kane, Cedar
Rapids, Neb., Mrs. Clarence Parker,
Omaha, Martin, Gene and Mildred of
this city.

Best Supplements to Corn.
The most suitable supplementary
feed to corn for fattening hogs seems
to depend on several variable factors.
Oil meal, cold pressed cottonseed cake,
and tankage rank close together in the
profits secured in nearly all tests. In
some tests these by-products give
faster gains and more profit than corn
and alfalfa, and in other tests the re
verse is true. The physical condition
of the hogs as influenced by weather
and other factors seems to determine
whether alfalfa hay or such a by
product as those just mentioned is the
most profitable to feed with corn for
fattening hogs.—North Platte Experi
