in tu illUUIII I inusins o Home Team Plays Excellent Ball in Yesterday's Game. A nice crowd last evening saw the ball game between the Lincoln Star base ball team and the local team. Owing to an accident, the visitors did tot get here until the evening train from the west and the game was call ed at 5:30 p. m. Owing to the un certainty of the game being played and the late hour at which It was called the attendance was not what it would have been otherwise. There nas quite a sprinkling of people In the open lots on the hill above the park who should have been Inside the fence and who should have been willing to part with their quarter to eee the locals exhibit instead of look ing on free. The game Iteslf was a fine one one which the spectators pronounce as good as any seen on the grounds this season. The locals played fine and winning ball and Bardwell cov ered himself w ith glory as he -pitch ed superbly ball and kept the few hits of the visitors well scattered. The locals put a patched up team in the field, the line up Including Mann who caught. Cecil Smith at Third base, Herold at short In place of Droego who was unavoidably absent, and Ault at first In place of McCau ley. All these men did well. Mann caught a good game and Is getting Ms batting eye back. Ault at first was a most pleasant surprise and fielded his position in good shape, lie also did some handy stick work which the crowd appreciated. This lad seems a comer and the Indications are that ho will make one of the winning men on the team. The only drawback to him Is his slowness on his feet but It Is believed practice and steady work will help this. Fitz gerald played a fine, clean game at second and did some good batting which helped out a whole lot In the first Inning when the run which won the game was scored. Smith at third fielded In good shape but his batting eye Is still off. However, he Is a ball player and will come around in time. Herrold at short played a fine game as he always does and was also a clever hitter. The outfield did ex cellently. Ileal did not get to the grounds In time for the first inning but when he did ho filled center field In good shape. Mason and Kelly In left and right played well and got everything In their territory. The boys also hit well, Mason getting a single which led to the one run of the game. AH told the locals played In good shape and deserved their victory. For the Lincoln team so much can rot be said. They did not field near ly so cleanly as the locals and it was the errors which they niado that contributed much to the victory of riattsmouth. Their pitcher tossed good ball except the first Inning when PlnttRmouth got to htm for the one run which ended the fest. The visitors found Bardwell an enigma and their heavy hitters were power less before his curves. He had them guessing and throughout the game I'layod with the greatest confidence Several times his cool, headwork saved the team from defeat and ho pulled out of several holes. On the whole, the locals have a find In this man and he deserves the credit he Is given. The Lincoln Star team claims to have played forty-three games alto gether and to have won forty-one of them. The game which the boys snatched from them Sunday was the second they have loBt and they were some wrot up over It. They tried their best to win and played good ball. Four of the sub players on the Lincoln Western league team were In the line up, President Don C. Dcs pain having loaned them to the Star team for a tryout. This didn't hurt the locals a little bit though and they went through thein In hollow form The same team closed a contract for a game here July 4th, when they hope to Bquare matters. The one run which settled the game was made by Mason who sin gled i nthe first, stole second, was sacrificed to third and scored on Fltz gerald's hit to center. This was the only run to be garnered during the process. The score was: . Tlatts I 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lin.

Carson grew somnolent. Mr. Craig head sat upright, making occasional elocutionary gestures with his cigar hand. Morning came. Two or three men came past the greenhouse, went round It and walked away again, ns If mak ing some sort of search. They came buck after a time and entered. One wns a tall, athletic, ruddy complexion ed. youngish man. who seemed to be the leoder of the trio. They gazed at the sleeping Carson nnd Craighead as If taking stock dispassionately of re turned estrnys in the form of dogs or horses. "Well. Mr. Craighead." ald the tall one in accents distinctly British. "I'm no end sorry to bud you out of bounds again, sir:" Instantij wide awake, Craighead as sumed au attitude of Jocular famil iarity. "It agonizes me to have given you a moment's pain, Deunis," said he, "but believe me I should have been howling like a banshee had 1 stayed longer In the storm center of Mr. Waddy's pneu matic slumbering." From his evident Irritation at the mention of his "pneumatic slumber ing" Carson guessed that the shorter of Dennis" companions was Mr. Wad tly. He was V.otuy and slrontfln build it ud bearded with gray excre scenses th.it grew forward and up ward from ail points, as if eyebrows, whiskers and mustache had been train ed through a knothole for a long time and then suddenly cropped off and left standing. He was pulling audibly. This la bored breathing coupled with his ap pearance of having dressed hurriedly gave him the general effect of one who bus leaped suddenly from bed and ceased something at high speed. He had on a topcoat over shirt and trou sers. On one foot was an arctic over shoe, on the other a Wellington boot, "Mr. Craighead," said he, as if care fully choosing terms of Bcathlng re buke, "I've seen all kinds, and you do beat-the-Dutchl" "Thank you." said Mr. Craighead, bowing. "Pardon me, Dennis, have you not met my friend, Mr. Carson, from Alabama? A new arrival. A pe riodical, I believe. Mr. Carson, Mr. I Dennis O'Grady. Mr. O'Grady is. the olllcial dispenser of dope" "Tonic. Mr. Craighead, if I may cor rect you. sir!" said Mr. O'Grady. "Of course. Dennis." protested Craig i head, "I meant tonic! And Is this Mr. j Carsou's Jag boss? I hope his slum- bers are less sonorous than Mr. Wad dy's. Mr. Carson. I" "Attendant." suggested Mr. O'Grady softly. "Mr. Evans is the attendant of Mr. Wjile. No doubt an error on Mr. Craighead's part. Mr. Wylie. but we understand perfectly that you are the Mr. Wylie who arrived very ill last night, sir, and who departed before we could give him the examination and the formal admission. Mr. Evans will attend upon you. Mr. Wylie, and we hope, sir, to have you feeling much better iu a few days, sir!" "You are greatly mistaken!" exclaim ed Theodore. "I don't belong here at all!" "Quite right, sir!" responded Mr. O'Grady heartily. "Quite right! I am glad that you are already able to see. sir, that you belong with Mr. Evans in room 34, sir." "But I am not Mr. Wylie." iuter posed Carsou. "Pardou me." softly suggested Mr. O'Grady. "but I find you here. Mr. Wylie. where noue but inmates can come." "I dropped Into this garden from an aeronat." reiterated Theodore. "And swallowed your parachute?" interpolated O'Grady. "No!" cried Carson, producing It from under the bench. "Here It is." "I have no knowledge of machinery," nld O'Grady. "But the existence here of so common a contrivance does not at all prove the absence of Mr. Wylie, and Mr. Wylie Is accounted for by no personality except your own. June Dulletin of Excursion Crates!

Mr. Evans ushered young Mr. Car son into room 34 as if conferring a great favor In thus naming him Wylie and arresting bira Instauter under t lie new cognomen. "1 am not Mr. Wylie." reiterated Carson. "1 am Theodore Carson, as I aald. and I"- "Thls matter of uames is so compli cated." quavered Mr. Evans, pushing up his cuffs as if about to attempt some feat of physical prowess. "No mau drawlu' my pay c'n be expected, to work It out 1 git awful small wages, Mr. Wylie. My duties Is sim ple. You git your tonic an' treat ments reg'lar an' keep hours, a w hole lot of gentlemen comes here under spe cial names." Mr. Craighead rapped and entered. "1 quite agree with the remarks of my querulous friend. Mr. Evans." said Mr. Craighead. "Your position. Mr. Carson. Is an equivocal one. The question Is. what's your field?" "It is aerouautics." replied Theodore. "I have devised the first effective neronef. I" "Very Interesting." returned Craig head. "1 have made that a specialty, f know the defects of the present day aeronefs. and I understand the failure of the gas supported aerostats, except as toys for us parasitic capitalists. But to the point In controversy. Are you the Fulton of the empyrean or the Edison of the hot air? Mr. Evans' porcine tonality has expressed the only conclusion open to him to accept the Wylie theory as a working hypoth esis nnd to work It at the regular per diem. Dost fuller me?" "I suppose that tills Wylie must turn up sooner or later." mused Theodore. "But why should 1 take treatment? What do they do to you?" persisted Theodore. "They give you dope: they ft'od you for n few days on bran mash; they shoot you twice a day; they give you a little bottle to assuage what they call your thirst the first night or so, though why they cnli that a thirst which Is only a cerebrospinal tendency entirely unconnected with Irrigation do poneth saith not. Let's to breakfast." Breakfast! Here was something to be "understanded of the people." Car son was famishing. And before he re turned to his room he learned that he was an Inmate of the Slattery Insti tute For Drunkards. (To be continued). Junior Choir Enjoys Picnic. The members of the Junior choir of St. John's Catholic church were most delightfully entertained at a picnic Sunday by Mr. and Mrs. 01 trogge. The choir members, their hostess and host were taken in carry alls to the picnic grounds, which had been selected, It being in the woods just north of this city and near the Platte river. On their arrival at the grounds, all proceeded to have a time of it. The day was very pleasantly spent in enjoying the pleasant shade of the big trees. Various games of the outdoor nature were played and occasioned considerable merriment Other diversions were also indulged in and throughly enjoyed. At the noon hour a fine picnic dinner was spread on the green around which the picnickers did ample justice to. The picknickers returned late in the ev ening, having spent a day which will not soon be forgotten and the choir members are indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Oltrogge for the splendid enter tainment afforded therrt on this occa sion. Those in attendance were Mr. and Mrs. Oltrogge, Misses M. Hobscheldt Anna Rys, Mary McElroy, Anna Mor ley, Mary Maguire, Messrs. Emil Droege, August Cloldt, Francis Whe lan and Henry Egenberger. Mrs. Oscar Gapen and daughter, Miss Helen, were passengers on the morning train for Omaha where they will spend today. Mr. Gapen drove In with them from their home near Murray and will spend the day in the city waiting their return.
