The Homo LftflB Succumb by Score of O -l-llovr the New Mat- tory Was Pounded Other BporU. xcBtorday'a Game Yesterday was nn oil day for the Omaha ! , , tint the Kansas Cltj's were In the finest kind bf trim , and batted , fielded and ran buses -With K hoop and a hurrah that rattled the ( home team. However , they let down wofully In the ilnol Inning , run ! the Omahas , who liad been inakluc a plucky nru ! stubborn up- tilll 1 . . .it all the way through , came within tin nco of overhauling them. Wiillo Phllbln's boys distinguished themselves - selves with a number ot tnarvelously bril liant plays , they iloundercd about In two or three Innlnra In a way that would have dis gusted the veriest amateurs. Yet , notwith standing the jug-handle nature ot the strug gle up to the ninth Innlnir , It was Intensely cxclteing. Tbo audience sighed and cheered encouragingly ID the hope of better luck. Walsh first faced Mr. HofTord nnd popped tip the llrst ball to McKeon , who was there to receive It. Dvvyer smashed n Blow ono to ebort nnd perished at llrst. but Bandle lined B safe one out toward Llllle's territory , but mas forced at second thu next moment by WwslU's weak drive. For the steer punchers Lillie got his base nn balls , stole necond with Impunity , at least that's what a lady In the audience acrimoni ously asserted , as Sandhill Jnutzcn made a attempt to throw him out. Larry Kmr then drove a safe ono out Into right , and on llassamaer's out to the snmo Held , Ciillle achieved the Initial run , Larry Sinbllng round to third. The fair haired avUnself followed with rlllo shot hit past see- tmd , and McKeon also placed his little boot mpon the rubber. HI nco fouled out. Mansell [ then thought it would be about the proper felling to steal n base , but ho reckoned without tils host , for Jautzen caught him by a bulls- eye to Messltt. In the second , although Connls got his fcase by being hit , nnd stole second , the Omnhas failed to score , nnd the cowboys , ( followed their example , going out lu one , * two , three order. > ' In the third , fourth , fifth , sixth , seventh .and eighth , U was the same old song with the home team , one. two and three nnd out But the cowboys fared better. In the 'fourth ' Mansell , got the sphere right where ho . wanted it , and sent It describing an enchant- llng parabola out over Krchmeyer's head for 'Khrce sacks , and In attempting to score on n .passed bnll wan caught between third nnd i jaome. liere the Onmhss did some beautiful guggling , in fact , Heller's feats of legerde main were nowhere , and as the ball was passing from Messltt to to Jantzen and from Jantzen to Harper , Mansell slid across the , "Oh 1 ah I" went up from the grand stand In disgusted nnlsion. The throenext men were retired Just as easy. In the seventh Ilottord was pro- eon ted with a base by Harder , who ' yrna entirely too reckless with his gifts. Ho btolo second , and went to third nn Llllle's safe drive , NiehofThaving died In the meantime. McKeon then hit to Walsh , who threw home to cut oft HofTord , but Jontren not only dropped the bnll out let It net by him and Holford and Lillie both tallied , while McKeon reached second , llassamaer's fly was then muffed by Krohmeyer after n hard run , nnd McKeon wont to third , scor ing a moment later on Mnnsell's cut to cen ter , lllngo retired the side nnd the cowboys ' had had their fun for the day. In the ninth Inning the Omuhas mndo a great spurt , but It availed them nought , save r breaking the endless string of < xr < o eggs. Messltt opened with a sate hit past NIe- 'boff , and went then to third on a wild tluovv 11 of lllngo to catch him nt second. Baden f lined ono out past Leg ? , Measltt scoring and Baden reaching third on the throw in to bead oft Mcssltt. Two runs In nnd the audience made the welkin ring I Jnnt/en then outed to HolTord. ( icnnls drove n snfo ono out toward Lillie , and stole second and third In succession , to the tre mendous jubilation of the crowd. Kreh- / ' meyer got his base on balls , but Harper ' [ fouled out Krchmoyer then stole second , r 'just ' for spite , and he nnd ( iennls both 1 'Mampered homo on Walsh's third snfo hit. Walsh got clear round to third on the return of his hit by Lillie to Itlngo to cut oil Kroh- meyer. Dick Dvvyer , however , ended the aeon v by a long lly , which looked like a homo run , to iilansell , nnd the day was lost. Following is the score : THK SCOIIK. OMAHA. POS. All. II. I1Q. Til. ll' .

Tlie disease fiom which Mr. Hoover suf fered was catarrhal consumption. The disease originated in a cold , \\hich became , chronic. As a result came the formation ol ! mucus , which was paitly dischnigcd from the head or dropped down the tliro.it and was partially hawked up. A large portion of it , however , was svvollowed , passing into the stomach and causing catairh there. The mucus formed bycatanh decompose ! . , and when it reaches the stomach is tither absorbed in the blood , piodncing all manner of evil symptoms or disc coats ever the food with a slimy material , which provcnts the fee 1 from coming in contact with the digestive juices in the stomach. The food itself decomposes , forms gas or wind in large quantities , and caucs a feel ing of bloating or fullness after eating. When the catarrh has existed in the head and the tipper part of the throat for any length of time the patient living in a district where people are subject to catarrhal - al aflection and the disease has been left uncurcd , the catarrh invaiiably , sometime * ( .lowly , extends down the windpipe and into the bronchial tubes which tubes con vey the air to the dillcrcnt parts of the lungs. The tubes become affected from the swelling and the mucus arising from catarrh , and in some instances becomes plugged up so that the air cannot get in as fieelyas it should. Shortness of breath follows and the patient breathes witli labor and clilllcuUy. In either case there is a sound of crack ling and whee/ing inside the chest. At this stage of the tli case the breathing is usually more rapid than when in health. The patient also has hot flashes over his body.
