At the close of a hot sultry dny , this
Hootlon was visited last evening by ono
of the most aotivo storms of wind aud
rain of the scnfion , The Htorm lasted
, only about an hour but during that time
1.40 inches of rain fell.
At (1 ( o'olook clouds began to appear in
the northwest and it was noon evident
that the regular dally nhowor would
miiko its appearance ou timo. At 8
o'clock the Htorm broke a deluge of rain
driven by n furious wind , accompanied
by n sharp electric display. People who
were out when the Htorm came were
obliged to get under cover , ns it wan
impossible to withstand the wind. In
n short time the streets were running
rivers. Corporation gulch was booming
nud trees were tugging madly nt their
roots in nu effort to follow the rush.
Many trees were broken of ! nnd shrub
bery buffered considerable damage.
Shortly before 9 o'olook olootrio lights
nil over the city wont out , occasioned by
the lines going down nt various plncos
nnd lightning striking the wires. At
the churches , most of which use oleotrlo
lights , the services were not yet over
nud the congregations were loft in dailc-
ucss. Lamps were hastily brought
from their hiding places nud the
services were concluded ns well ns pos
sible under the circumstances. At 9
o'olook the storm had subsided nud the
people were nblo to reach their home's
without getting wet , except where they
were obliged tb wade through water
over the sidewalks.
During the storm lightning struck the
licuao of 0. S. Bridge ou west Mndlaon
nvonuo , demolishing the ohlmuoy nud
shattering ROIUO glass , but otherwise
doing no damage. The telephone com
pany was perhaps the heaviest sufferer
from the storm. This morning not n
toll line was working. Manager
Sprocher sent out .linemen to'Battle
Orcok , Osmond , Wnyno nnd there wns
, v n bnd break botwoeu Madison and Hum
phrey. Lightning did considerable
damage to wires in town mid many
were tangled by the wind.
Reports from the country show that
the dnmago to crops is not nearly so
great ns might bo expected. Onts are ;
quite badly lodged , but wheat is stand
ing up well , and by the time it is ready
to out will bo in good condition , unless
the treatment is repeated. Corn was
bent over some by the wind but that
has plenty of time to stroightou up ,
nnd there is no fear but that this
section will have a buuipor crop.
July is making n record for rainfall
that has not been known in Nebraska
for years , more than seven inches hav
ing fallen this mouth. By way of mak
ing no break in the record , the weather
IBau promises more rain tonight.
A DISGUSTING EXHIBITION.
Creighton Plays the Baby Act at
Yesterday's Ball Game.
From Monilny'e Dally :
What used to bo considered n team of
tonsa ball players and men of honor ,
were thrown down on the home diamoud
yesterday afternoon with n score of 13
to 5 , in as utterly disgusting an oxhibl
tiou as ouo could wish to miss , The
yellow cropped out on Oroightou in
great , sickening streaks , and , their low
standard of true sport was irretrievably
displayed.
The story of the affair seems to bo
about this : Carroll , Creightou's catcher ,
was hurt Saturday aud unable to play.
In need of a back stop , Wilkins prom
ised the visitors that if Wilkinson and
Davy returned , ho would loan them
Again. Neither man showed up , however -
over , every player on the * Norfolk yay
roll was iudlspensiblo and a game was
insisted upon. So , grouchy because
Wilkins didn't hare enough men to fill
the bench aud play the field simulta
neously , Huffsrnith put on a mask and
did the pig tail stunt for Henderson.
At the end of the fourth , the game I
was 8 and 2. Lost , as it evidoutally was ,
Green's gang , rather than make the
best of things and die game , substituted
a fielder who never had thrown , to lose
in an infant sort of way.
'The ' grounds wore in wretched con
dition from the rain and grounders
simply stopped dead in the mud. Field
ing was difficult aud a man on the bench
was kept busy cleaning covers.
Glenn Wilkius , the new curver from
Doa Moines , showed good form and
fielded his position in phenomenal shape.
He is built right for n ball player and on
a good field will no doubt make n great
tear.
Kennedy.tho now short stopmade good
with the fans and the whole team play
odthe game. Bucklin throw the eighth
nnd ninth. Two double plays , by "Wood
to Again , and Buckllu to Wood to
Again , were features. (
Dad Turner umpired. The time was
1 hour and 20 minutes.
Rex Stock. Food pleases everyone.
NORFOLK'S FOURTH ,
Visitors to this Cty ( Were Plonsod
with the Entertainment ,
Htanton Register : Well , Stantou
people celebrated thl > i year ) away from
homo nnd had n very good time. Nor *
folk captured the largest crowd of
Stantoultos and Madison entertained a
couple of hundred or more of our people.
Wisucr was visited by n crowd of about
ICO and the editor and family were
among these at Wisnor , At all throe
cities our people highly enjoyed them ,
solves by Booing nil the Hnloudid pro
grams that were rendered. The day
was pleasantly spout by nil nnd now is
our time to got into the line for the big
celebration of 11)0 ) ! ) . It will bo our turn
then and will bo able to draw'a largo
crowd from all directions ,
Battle Crook Republican : Bittlo
Crook people celebrated In various ways
nnd at various places. A good many ro-
malnod at homo nnd enjoyed family
picnics , some few wont to Madison , Til-
den nnd Plorco , but the main Jbody
drifted down the line to Norfolk. The
Sugar City was iu gain attlro and gave
n creditable celebration. The weather
was not exactly agreeable but it did not
prevent the carrying out of the program
in good order , except as to the daylight
fireworks , which had to bo dispensed
with on account of the high wind pro *
vailing , The crowd wns very largo but
well behaved nud entirely orderly.
There were no schemes to extort money
nnd very few fakes to lure the nickels
from the pockets of the young people ,
yet plenty of legitimate pleasure feat
ures were open to nil. The street parade >
rado , soldiers' drill , nud the rnuajo by
the lown nud Nebraska military bauds
were exceptionally good attractions. It
was Norfolk's first celebration in six
years. If she always treats her visitors
as cordially she will not have to wait
that long before they will want to bo
entertained again. .

Magnificent Exhibition of Base
Ball Yesterday ,
A SHUT OUT FOR THE LOCALS.
Bloomfield Makes Two Runs but Nor
folk Ends the Game with a Goose
Egg to Her Credit Great Work by
the Pitchers.
From Wednesday's Dally
One ot the mojc magnificent exhibi
tions of base ball that has been soon on
the local diamond was played yesterday
afternoon to n shut out , Bloomfield win
ning with two earned runs iu the
eighth , makiug the score to 0.
It was a pitchers' battle from start to
finish , aud the terrific speed , the super
ior curves nnd the staying qualities of
Duffey worked their way to victory over
Gleu Wilkins , who wns superb for sevcu
innings but was fouud in the awful
eighth in ouo-two-throo „ order for three
safe hits , two scores nud the game.
Backliti wns put in for the last and made
it a goose egg.
Until the eighth the score wns 0 nud 0.
There had been up to that time.23 strike
outs , 13 for Dnffeynnd 9 forWilkins ,
nud G safe hits , 3 for each man. In that
time up Dnffey , Crosby nud Grant , fol
lowed each other in rapid succession ,
drove the sphere hard and safely , and
won the game. ' The locals did their
best to tie in their next two bats but
there was nothing doing and they died
with nn ugly cipher staring them iu the
face.
face.Twice
Twice did it look as though the home
club must surely score , twice did they
ome within nn ace of the plate nnd
, wice did exceedingly close decisions
rase from the board the chalk marks
ihat had fairly begun to sprout. In the
ixth Wood wns the first np and drew n
ingle. Johnson sacrificed and the run
ner went to second. Then , while Duffey
teed handling the ball , and before his
ery eyes , the clever little base runner
hot down to third and made good.
With only one goue nnd a star scorer
hreo-fonrths of the way around , things
ooked encouraging , but Dnffey kept his
head , Again fouled out , Dnvoy was cut
off at firstand the chance was gone.
When iu thoeighth Glen Wilkins got to
first ou an error , stole second and
was close upon third when Wood hit a
hot one down the third base line. The
ball wns fielded to first. Wood's foot
truck the sack and the sphere chugged
ute the mit almost simultaneously.
Wilkius , meanwhile wns hitting the line
'or ' home as fast as his legs could go.
With race horse velocity he neared the
plate , dropped , slid on his ear nnd reach
ed the platter just as the ball shot home
from first and was put upon him. Both
plays were exceptionally close. Each
ooked safe to one man nnd out to
another. Players on the bench called
Wood safe and Wilkins a tie. But Mo
NJell , the umpire , couldn't see it that
ivay. He waved Wood off of his base
and with a sweep of his right arm de
clared to the crowd that Wilkins , also ,
was out. This ended Norfolk's oppor
tnnity to score and the game was prac
tically finished.
Too much cannot be said of , Duff ay's
work. He was simply superb. He drop
ped fifteen strike outs , was found safely
but three times and allowed but one man
to walk during the game , Wilkins ,
while be lasted was just as good , but
after 20 men had been at bat they were
able to locate him for three timely and
fortunately bunched hits. He struck
out 10 and allowed no bases.
Both twirlers were supported in ad
mirable shape , , though each field made
throe errors.
J. MoNiell did the umpire stunt. He
had an exceptionally large number of
exceedingly close decisions at bases but
did well with balls and strikes. In two
places he- was clearly wrong , calling
Byers out on a fielded foul ball , and cell
ing a Bloomfield hit a fool. As to the
other decisions , Norfolk feels that it
wasn't given a square deal , but the re
suit in any case is , of course , conjecture
and without doubt the man did his best
CIRCUS GRAFTERS.
There Were Many With the Howe
Show Yesterday.
The Howe show people are not in
business strictly for the fun of the thing.
Incidentally they are on earth to make
money. Just exactly how , -seems to be
a matter of little consequence. If there
s any kind of n game that'didn't get in
to operation at their grounds yesterday ,
it was because Chief of Police Kane
queered them early in the day.
It seems that an old man from Tllden
dropped into one of the grafts to the
tune of 80 hard earned rooks. The denl
was worked altogether to fast for policy ;
it didn't look well and the police began
to investigate. Kane , after some little
trouble in locating his man and persuad
ing the management that Norfolk
wouldn't stand for auy thing like that ,
recovered the entire amount of money >
for the losor. These 80 big , rouud silver
dollars lookedgood to the granger arm
Tildeu , who shoved 79 of them down
into his jeans where they would bo safe
and thanked the officer profusely.
The shell game wns n feature. H. T.
Souueuscheiu was oue inau , however ,
who was able to boat the fellow nt his
own game , After ho had stayed pretty
successfully for n time , the shell man
got sere and refused to dough up. 'Son'-
ncusoheiu was not to bo bluffed , however -
over , and took n slap nt the grafter's
face , just for luck. There vnsu't ' tinio
for h "Hoy Rnbu" nlnim , but two show
men were on hand , nevertheless , to help
their comrade. Little did they know *
with whom they reckoned. Souuou1 ?
scheiu , iu his dny , wnsu't so bnd with
the gloves , himself , nnd np against the
bunch , ho turned in and put the last ouo
of them out of business , Thou the shell
game quit.
The double ticket
wagon scheme was
worked nnd cnught n number of un
suspecting persona. Other minor games
were started , but were forced to stop.
FOUND HIS FORMER PUPIL.
Dick Beswick is Recognized by an Old-
Tim o Scholar In Athletics.
F om Wcilncsdnj'r DnDy.
Twenty-five years ago Dick Beswick ,
now of this city , was the champion
tumbling and leaping acrobat of the
United States. At that time he took
under his charge a youth named Gard
ener for instruction in the science of the
gymnast. Such sjdll did the boy devel
op that when , iu time , Beswick was
ready to give up the life of the tumbler ,
Gardener was able to immediately sue
ceed to the champion's place.
Years passed and these two men ,
noted far and wide nmoug circus folk ,
henrd nothing of each other. Yesterday
Mr. Beswick strolled down to the Howe
show grounds , as he always does , step
ped into n tent to look around and get a
whiff of circus air once more , when n
man touched him upon the shoulder.
Champion had met champion. The
trainer had found his charge.
But Mr. Gardener is > no longer the
athlete. He is now one of the manngers
of the aggregation. Mr. Beswick en
joys life in Norfolk and is much inter
ested in base ball. Many were the rem
iniscences between these two old time
friends and , like a couple of brothers ,
they talked over former years , long after
the tents were cleared last even
ing , and until , amid the flickering
lights of a hundred lanterns , the heavy * .
wagons had rumbled into position on
the cars and the work horses had been
stalled for the night.
Several performers with the show ,
(
who were boys in Beswick'a timerec
ognized the former hero of the somer
sault and said it seemed like getting
money from home. Mr. Beswick is
