The prospects for a fairly large
crop in Nebraska continues good,
The unduly wet weather during
the earlier part of the season,
doubtless rendered it difficult to
properly cultivate the corp. but
growing weather of late cannot
fail to insure us a reasonably good
yield throughout the state.
That laboring men are to derive
benefit from the new eight hour
law is open to question. It appears
to be generating strife and conten
tion where formerlj', contentment
and good feeling prevailed. Not
only has the smelter been com
pelled to shut down, but the job
printers, brick-layers, plummers,
and carpenters are assuming the
role of dictators. It seems that the
f laborers should be satisfied with
the provisions of this law, and
settle down to work, as it is certain
ly liberal in its provisions and
embodies all that the inost extreme
labor demagogues have asked.
Being overstocked with light
double and single buggy harness,
carriage dusters, robes, fly nets,
stable sheets and a very large as

TOO MUCH AN TI POSE TISSUE
Tue Great Ball Came Between the Fau
and Leans Res tilts in a Victory
for the Fats.
There was a sight for the Gods to
gaze upon yesterday at the ball
park. For many days the city has
been stirred to its utmost depths by
stories of the coming battle and
many a family has been broken and
seared by a vague fealing of unrest.
For days past hare W. L. Brown,
Mike Murphy, Kelly Fox. D. C. Mc
Ginty, C. W. Sherman, Byron Clark
and Kd Oliver and others of their
ilk been boasting of the triumph
that was to be; and yesterday they
earned a noble victory. They way
laid and sand-bagged an elongated
swindle-shanked mass of humanity
and a cold unfeeling crowd wept
not, neither did it wail. To picture
it:- Mike Murphy, weight M7, Bill
Brown. 372; McGinty, weight .'i.r9; W.
Kelly Fox, weight :."?; Byron Clark,
weight Ma'2; Billy Weber, weight 319;
Claus Breckenfeld, weight 347 plus 12
pounds of voice; Kd Oliver, wieght
317 net; Bill Bushing. 3i in the
clear; C. W. Sherman, 1,2-') caudle
power; Frank Carruth, weight 300
18 karat, and sundry other heavy
weights pitted against Matt Gering
Weight 3 lbs and 0 oz.; II, C. Hack
ney, weight 5 lbs 4 oz; Frank Dick
son, weight 9 lbs even; II. N. Dovey
weight 7 lbs tioz, McKinley scale; R
H. Windham, weight 6ft 11 in. South
scale; Fred Lchtihoff, weight 6 feet
2 in.; Fred Herrmann, weight 10
majority,; W C. Showalter, weight
8octs docket fees; Frank Morgan,
weight 76cts special clearance sale;
W, A. Humphrey, 6 ft and 11 in. horn
ciephathic dose, and divers other
persons of greater bulk and less
weight. It was indeed a masacre.
Ami Todd, armed to the teeth, offici
ated as umpire and by rank de
cisions forever blasted his pros
pects for the county treasurership.
He was notoriously in favor of the
iats and dark rumors of corrupt
practices and growlers were numer
ous. McGinty went into the box for the
fats and pitched a fine game, Coun
cilman Browne with awe, essayed to
catch but owing to his geat corpo
r osity and the slimness of the pro
tector and in a measure to his great
brain cap and such a small mask he
was forced to retire to second left
field. His inability to hold Mc
Ginty's sharp in and out drops
greatly amused the audience. He
distinguished himself, however, at
the bat pounding Dickson all over
the lot. In the lirst inning he
knocked the ball over the fence for
a home run bringing in Lumber
Deal Bill Browne in front of him.
The race from third to home was
Very exciting. Dave also made a
marvelous catch of a high hit fowl
after a long run winning wild ap
plause. In the midst of the uproar
some villian in the grand stand
started to whistle "Down Went Mc
Ginty,'' and he now sleeps beneath
the daisies. Mc went into catch in
the fourth inning and W. Kell3r Fx
pitched the game out. Kelly will
have to brace up and put more Kn-
glish on 'em or Dickson will knock
him out of the box this fall.
Henry Bons had an exciting col
lision on first base with Hackney of
the Riley hotel and the slim man
got first blood. Mike Murphy and
Bill Cushing did the principal base
running for the fats and their slides
to bases were immense.
Claus Brekenfeld officiated as
coacher and his violent demonstra
tions at times caused apprehension
among his colleagues.
Buck Adams played second but
for fear of being protested called
himself Byron Clark. He fielded in
marvelous style.
Dickson and Gering pitched for
the leans and Gering has signed as
change pitcher with the Nonpareils
He has a good head and when he
thought that the batsman meditated
hitting the ball he gave him his
base on balls. At one time he be
came enraged at the umpire and
Todd had to press him with his
little finger to restore the equilib
rium of his mind.
Dr. Humphrey and Roe Craig
both became afflicted in their lower
limbs during the game and fell to
the ground with unusual speed and
vigor.
Frank Morgan became abstracted
during a delay in the game and
tried to coax Showalter to buy a
new hat of him. Showalter was
rescued after a great loss of wind
and played the game out under po
lice protection.
Fred Herrmann tried to use Fd
Oliver's ear for a tax receipt in the
third inning and greatly amused
the spectators.
Windham on
lirst played the
game of his life.
Unruh, Oliver and Carruth and
numerous others of the fraternity
request that no mention be made of
their short-comings and we gladly
comply with their request. Carruth
was a little weak at the bat and when
he faced Matt Gering he was visibly
otTected. Olivet played professional
ball and gave the lean pitchers a
choice roast. I'uruh will get his
work in today. Score.

Almost a Wreck,
Last evening about 7:4.r) as the fast
stock train No. 64 was passing the
depot it narrowly escaped a disas
trous wreck caused by the derailing
of three cars. The train was com
posed of eighteen palace stock cars
loaded with cattle and hogs for the
eastern market. As the train pass
ed through just ahead of passenger
No. 8 the plattform was full of peo
ple, who barely escapedfl being
hurt as the train was running at the
rate of about fifteen miles an hour
when it struck the switch at the
north end of the depot where three
cars in the middle of the train de
railed and tried to go down the
track east of the depot while the
rest of the train passed on the west
side, but a rail breaking on the east
trackallowed the cars to be pulled
back along the side of the main
track tearing up the plattform for a
distance of nearly one hundred feet
No further damage was done more
than delaying traffic for about two
hours while the cars were being put
back on the track.
lhe cause ot the accident is sup
posed to be a defective wheel under
the first cj " derailed and that the
switch was not quite closed. No
blame is laid to anyone for the ac
cident. It is the prevailing opinion
that had the train been making the
speed it generally makes the results
would have been attended with
great disastrous results.

Fire.
At 3 o'clock this morivng ot'- cit
izens were arroused by the alarm of
fire and in a short tiitie hundreds
of willing workers were at the scene
The fire started in the rear of the
building occupied by the "Racket
Store" but it was soon under con
troll. The goods were but little
damaged by fi-e but were a total
loss by water. The origin of the
fire is a mystery as no fire was kept
in the room during the day.
The insurance on the goods was
$1,500 which will probably cover the
loss. The front of the building wa3
considerably damaged.
Come in To-day
and examine the shoes offered
in our sample sale. Wjti. Herold
