KANSAS CITY , Mo. , Mny 21. [ Special Tele gram to Tun BES.I The Kansas City Blues received tholr Initial shut out of the season to-day at the hands of the Omaha nine. It wns perhaps the banner giuno this year In n good many respects. First , the visitors played without nn error , and second , the united hits by both teams wcro flvo in num ber. As In the other games Aunls' work In center was such ns to produce and deserve general applause. Ills running one-hand catch of Campau's flj to deep right In the last inning wns a feat that has been seldom equalled. Both pitchers did well , ns did the teams , the only error of consequence being Bradloy's fumble of Clarke's tlirco-buggerin the eighth inning. Not a run was made by cither nine until the seventh Inning , Annis was first to face Conway , but hit a grounder to Man ning , who throw him out nt first. Than O'Connoll , who has not hit the ballat all before while here , stepped up and hit the first ball pitched to right for thrco bases. Miller followed him ami hit the ball to Man ning , who throw it to Guuson , the sphere reaching Gunson's hands a second before O'Councll , who hud started homo , reached there , A collision occurred and both men felltho boll dropping out of Gunson's hands In thostruggloand the umpire decided O'Coniicll safe. This decision converting the grand stand for a few mo ments into n howling pandemonium , while the entire Kansas City team left the diamond mend and expostulated with Brcnnan. It was of no avail , however , and the game pro ceeded. In the eighth inning , after Wilson was retired at first , Clarke hit to deep right center for thrco bases. Bradley went after the balU but fumbled it after ho got it and Clarke crossed the plato ou the error. In the ninth inning two of the Kansas City team had been retired when Campau came to bat and hit the ball to almost the sarno place that Clarka did. Annls ran for it and pulled it down with ono hand , making the best play of the game and retiring the side. The following is the score : KANSAS CITY. Totals 28 2 3 1 27 14 ( BCOltC 1IY INNIXQS.

There wns not a Very largo attendance of the members of the Union club at the moot ing last night , when the subject of securing better rnllrond facilities for Omaha was . thoroughly nnd intelligently discussed. The plan of organizing a trust of Omaha citizens to build n line through the northwest received considerable attention from tlio gentlemen , who scorned divided us to whether it was best to enlist already established roads in the en terprise or Invite the county to vote a sub sidy for the building nnd maintenance ! of the road. road.Mr. Mr. Barker thought the trust plan the best , ns he and the rest of the citizens of Omaha had grown tired waiting for the railroads to carry out their promises. Mr. Shclton changed the subject by asking the gentlemen present if they didn't think it a good idcu to ask the people of the county td vote u subsidy to the Chicago , Koch Island & Pacific railway to build n line into the city from the south. Expressions pro and con were indulged in , but nothing definite was arrived at. Mr. Colputzcr thought the Idea of asking the county to vote bonuses for the required facilities a good one , and that it would carry. First , however , they must bo satisfied that there are no schemers in the proposed im provements , but that everything is to bo done nbovo board. Mr. Murphy expressed confidence that it the county voted $1,000,000 in bonds for the encouragement of railroads to como into Omaha and Nebraska , it would not bo long before the railroads would bo after the money , and would give these parts the facili ties they arc so sadly in need of. Mr. Barker spoke in a llko strain , nnd In sisted that Or.mlm's inferior railroad facill- ities argued against her with eastern capital ists and money lenders. Deba\o \ recurring on the plan of n homo company to build a road to the northwest , it was stated that Messrs. John Harbaugh , Herman Kountze , Frank Murphy , and others , were ready to put their thousands into the enter prise. They did not propose to go in , how ever on n paper road , and will not put up their money until other citizens show a ten dency to put in theirs. Mr. Colpetzor referred to the railroad dis crimination and spoke principally of the lumber in.tcrcs.ts. Owing to the discrimina tion m this commodity , Omaha , which at onetime time stood third in the list of lumber con suming cities. , is now away down and is being throttled dally by the railroads. Mr. Shelton - ton added that if it wcro not for tlicso rail road discriminations Omaha's commercial business would bo ten times as largo as at present , and asked how the club proposed to do away with this discrimination. Answering this question Mr. Colpetzor thought it could bo done by the aid. of a local railroad company. Owing to the slim attendance but tho" interest - torost which had been Inspired it wns de cided to adjourn until next Monday night when a formal organization will bo perfected , Fort Omaha Notes. Wednesday afternoon the four young soldiers , who were ordered before an examining board in response to their appli cations for commissions in the army , ap peared before the board for the last timo.
