LINCOLN TEAM A HUMMER
Will Play Three Games in Tope
ka—Then Go To Denver
Denver won the second game
of the opening series in a rat
tling ten inning contest, the
score being 1 to 0. This lone
score was made on a steal home
by a Denver player, which ordin
arily never would have succeed
ed, but the bare faced burglary
was made against such heavy odd
of winning that it came ns a sur
prise and thus was a success.
The giii ie itt Hie Beach Sunday
between the Denver and Lincoln
clubs was a joy to the fans who
attended. The Antelopes again
demonstrated their ability with
the pole stick and when the thing
dosed it was found that nine
luscious caster eggs were chalk
ed up against the Denver boys
while the Lincoln club bad four
credit marks. Jake Wolverton
winged a good game and held
the heavy hitting Grizzlies to
one lone hit, while the Lincoln
bunch knocked out an even doz
en from the hand of Peter Kh
man. However, the fact is ap
parent from what we have seen
tf the Denver club that they
have certainly a strong aggrega
tion, and will lie found up cIorp
to the top.
Lincoln left Sunday night for
three games in Topeka and three
in Denver, and will return Sun
day for a game that afternoon at
the Beach with the Wichita Tz
zios, another strong bunch.
Denver came to Lincoln in a
special and was met. at the
train by a band, which beaded a
parade up the street. It was a
surprise for the Grizzlies, and
was appreciated very much. They
carried with them throe hustling
newspaper men from the Denver
papers and in consequence their
trip was well taken care of.
A Fine Modern Cottage
The Oleson house on 15th and
Harlan St., has begun to look like
some one meant business. The
work of lathing has begun and
will be only a short time iinti1
Mr. Oleson will have bis neat
little modern cottage completed.
It will add materially to the ap
pearance of the block.
Will Remodel His House

will remodel and make into an
up-to-date modern dwelling the
house now occupied by Ed Jones
and family, just north of Mr.
Korner\s new bungalow on 14th

every effort, is being put forth
to make the gathering a success
in every way. The presiding of
ficer, Mrs. 11. ('. Lindsay of Lin
coln has prepared a fine pro
gram, which will be printed in a
few days.
Chancellor Avery who lectures
on “A Comparison of the tier
man and American Schools,” is
one of the attractions. Mrs. Helms
of the University school of mu
sic will give a Shakespearian ev
ening. Other, musicians from
over the district will appear up

Methodist Social Circle
Airs. Dr. Fordyce was hostess
to the Methodist Social Circle
yesterday afternoon. About fifty
ladies were present in spite of
the threatening weather. The
house was beautifully decorated
in Easter lilies, apple blossoms
and cut flowers. Aliss Edna Car
ico favored the company with a
vocal solo; Aliss Sara Alorsman,
an instrumental solo; Nellie Craig
a vocal solo. Aliss Alaude Gra
ham and Airs. T. L. Davies de
lighted all with a special musi
cal selection, ‘‘Bethoven’s Sym
phony.” The hostess in her
usual charming manner made the
afternoon one of real pleasure to
her guests. A unique two-course
luncheon was served, Airs. W. A.
Greenvvald, .1. W. Schaible and
Aliss Etta Thompson assisting the
hostess.
Base Ball Notes
The Colts have all reported,
and a finer looking bunch of
players were never seen in this
city.
John Forrester, manager, is
an old hand at the business, hav
ing played in the Western legues
at Leavenworth and Topeka.
Jack, as he is better known t<»
the base ball fans, is a man of
wide experience and certainly
knows a base ball player when he
secs one. This is what he says
about the league-. ‘‘I have a
bunch of promising young players
1 won't say what the end will be.
but keep your good eye on ns.”
And of course we expect him
to repeat what we did last year,
coine home at the close of the
season with ‘‘the coveted rug.”
A Show for the people, old and I
young, all come away with the
same verdist. “Best show we
ever saw.” Falls City, May, 3.
The Young Men’s quartet met
at the home of Miss Jennie Keitn
last night with Miss Lena Nort
dorf as accompanist.
OPENING GAME MAY 18
Boys Have Arrived And Are Out
Practicing
The ball boys are out l'or
practice these days, and are fast
getting in shape for the opneing
game. Falls City will undoubted
ly be the best town in the
league in point of attendance,and
it is earnestly hoped that she can
duplicate her feat of last year
and bring home anothe pennant.
If it were possible to call the
games at 0:00 o’clock, the attend
ance would nearly double, as the
shop men and many others who
are unable to get off in thq mid
dle of the afternoon could and
would miss their supper in order
to attend. Now that we are to
have no Sunday base ball, it
scents worth trying to arrange at
least a game a week for such a
time that the laboring man can
gte a chance to see the great nat
ional game without losing time
and wages.
Horse Ran Away
While on his way from Hum
boldt yesterday, Mr. Goddard, of
the music store of this city was
driving with his auto, when he
met Mr. Robahr, who was driving
a horse to a cart. The horse be
came frightened at the machine,
threw the driver out and broke
things up in general. The horse
was caught a short distance away
and with considerable patching
and repairing of the cart and har
ness Mr. Robahr continued on his
way.
More Small Pox In Town
Frank Barrett ftud Carl Alex
under, living in the block just
west of Smith’s Furniture store,
and Pat Thompson, living near
the M. P. depot are the last cases
reported. .John Vogel, living in
the extreme east part of town
lias every symptom and it is be
lieved he has the dread disease.
Mrs. Ralph Simpson has sev
eral places broken out. on her
face, and her mother, Mrs. Cade
has been very ill for a few days,
hut not broken out.
Ernest Gagnon, who was tak
en sick with smallpox the first
of the week is reported to be
getting along nicely.
It is thought by the physicians
that a colored man coming from
somewhere in the south brought
the disease to this city. Mayor
Keeling says that all told, there
are about twenty-five cases in
town. The officers are using ev
ery precaution to keep the dis
ease from spreading, and a strict,
quarantine is placed on each
home, where the disease is locat
ed.
