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.

Not Want a Itonomination.
DES MOINKS , In. , August G. [ Special Tele-
ogrnm to the BF.E.I A letter will bo pub
lished to-morrow fiom State Superintendent
Akers , withdrawing from the contest for n
renomination. The nnnouncjment will
create quite a political sensation through the
state , as Mr. Akors was the leading candi
date for the position , for which there Is nl-
rendy a very lively tight. Ho .states that his
withdrawal Is caused entirely by his desire
tor harmony In the party. The determina
tion of of Dr. Fellows , one of the deposed
professors of tbo State university to become
a candidate , Is understood to be an attempt
to po- * > before the convention ns n prohibi
tion marlyr , and Inasmuch as Akors voted
with the regents to remove him , the tight
would bo against him. and on the old line ot
prohibition. To avoid raising such nn irre-
lovnnt Issue nnd to promote party harmony ,
Akers withdraws from the Held.

any practical good. I would t > top coughing
for an hour or so , but it would come again
next day. The relief afforded me was only
.cuulornry. I read of the numerous cures
which had been effected by Dr. McCoy in
the papers , and they described no closely
my symptoms that I called upon him at
No. 10 Park Row. Dr. McCoy told mo
that I had catarrhal bronchitis , and there
was serious trouble with the right lung in
the form of an abscess. I was put under
the ticatment , and he gave me relief right
away. The night sweats with which I
had been troubled have left me and I now
test well. I began the 'fcatmcnl on the
2M of May last , I used to cough every
morning ; would get sick at the stomach. I
have been very ncaily strangled tiying to
get something up when there was nothing
to come up. But now I am doing splen
didly. Ha\e a clear head. I am nog
clouded up. I can travel all day and not
tire out , and I can assure you my woik requires
quires me to go about A gieat deal. I am
satisfied tint if I had not gone under till *
treatment I should have been compelled t r
stop work entirely , and this is my busf
season. I was obliged on account of my
trouble to leave a very easy situation abotsi
a vear ago because I could not stand lha
night air and was constantly taking colda
I have not felt so well for years as I da
now , anJ I work hard , too. My friends
lemark my improved appearance , and I
have gained five pounds in the little time
which I have been under tieatment , and I
am convinced that a cure will be effected.

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.
