VYhnt's the matter with the llckle coddess
Df Fortune , any way I
Can it bo possible that the old girl never
Inlands to grin on Omaha again )
It look * that way.
Just think of It ! Again , yesterday after
noon , the ruthless warriors from the land ol
Iho Sioux knocked out the Whlto Sox ,
Jtnockcd them out so Imrd , and so comrlotelj
ihat some of them couldn't bo recognized bj
their own names.
And It would require a derrick to llfl Hie
gloom thai now rests upon the city.
What made yesterday's calamity par
tlcularly hcnrt-tonuerinc wus the fact that II
happened In the presence of the biggcsl
crowd that has assembled nt the park this
Reason , Tlio entire enclosure was alive with
people , and there must huvo been fully four
thousand or more. They lined the outlleld
in buggies and carriages , crowded on the
bleachers llko Hies on u lump of sugar , und
filled tlio grand stand until there wasn't
room loft for oven a two-year-old kid.
There wcro ladles there , too , by llio score ,
nnd their radiant faces , nnd tiower-toppcd
liatR lent u pleasing clTcet to the scene.
And every soul , almost , hud gone out for
the express purpose of oheormg and applaud
ing lor Omaha. Nobody dreamed she
would bo compelled to again bow her regal
bead lo the Corn Huskcrs.
But they are real little devils , ovcry ono oi
them , und they had more fun with Omaha
than you over hoard of.
It disgusted the ladies in the reserved seats
to see them act up so.
Our Parisian triend , Monsieur Strauss ,
% vns the llrst man up , us usual.
lie didn't monkey very long before , ho
caught the sphere on the end of his bat und
sent itxvhlzzlng llko n musket shot way out
over right Held. Ho would have made three
Backa ou It easily if it hadn't been
for that llcot-footed representative ut the
Darwinian theory , Mr. Cllno , of Louisville ,
Kentucky. Ho inado an ulcgant running
catch , und Strauss , who was tearing awn }
for record , turned round and sheepishly
came back to the bench.
Old Buffalo followed suit on nn altltudi-
nous foul to Powell , but Mr. Flanagan was
more lenient with Crooks , nnd gave him his
base on balls. Jack wast out for the stuff
anybody could see that nnd without any
unnecessary delay ho made a bold dash for
second.
Ho skated in on his vest front , and the
bleachers vociferated with Joy.
Then , to everybody's astonishment , ho
miido n clean steal of third , and the excited
multitude wont on with their shouting.
This success , however , was too much for
Crooks , nml ho imagined that
be bore a charmed life as tnoy used to say in
Boadlo's cliiuo novels. So giving his panta
lettes a hitch , ho absolutely essayed lo steal
home. When ho got to the phito ho fuund
Ilollirmn there waiting patiently for him
"with the ball.
Pity it hadn't boon n club !
For the Indians , Monkey Cline reached
first with his usual luck , which catno this
time in the shape of an error big enough to
work for a llvinir , by Joe Walsh. By u good
nlldo lie stole second , nnd on Glenn's out
> vent to third , scoring on Genius' scratch hit ,
after Powell had fanned out. Brosnnn
tinned the Inning by being thrown out at first.
Ono run for a starter.
In the second Omaha took a load of one ,
but how soon she was doomed to lese It.
Andrews waddled to first on balls , and
nuw , no attempt Is made to nrouso uny hard
feelings actually purloined second.
This was the signal for much hilarity.
When the din subsided Scrappy Jack im
mediately revived it by driving the ball way
out among tlio left Hold buggies for throe
cushions , sending Wnlly home , by easy
stages , of course. Mussitt came In n moment
later on Walsh's line sacrillco out to Genius.
Ctmavan'a missed third strike gave him a
, basc , but , in foolishly endeavoring to take
two on tlio error , ho was put out.
N&glo then followed with a nice single , but
Clarke's striKe out blasted Omaha's hopes
eternally.
They never made another run. Honest
Ingin 1
The Corn Iluskcrs catoo in just as chipper
ns you please , and tied the score , too quick.
After Burke had gene out to Strauss , u
second decidedly decomposed error by Walsh
ave George Washington Bradley second
ilms.o. I'lien a putrid blunder by Crooks gave
Ji'Im third , and ho ambled across the plato on
CFlanugnn's single.
Having evened thincrs up , Cllno wont out ,
mid.tho Omahas tried it again.
But il was no go.
Although the Count got to first on balls , ho
jwcnt to sloop then , and was tossed out bv
the man in the box. Grover struck out anil
Crooks died from start to flrst.
Just to make the game a trifle more oxcit-
Jug , Sioux City scored again.
After Glenn had tanned out , Daddy Clarke
pave Powell his base on balls. Genius wus
thrown out by Walsh , but Brosnan made u
nlnglo to right , on which ho took two bases ,
ns Strauss lot the ball go by him , while
I'd well came homo. Burke struck out.
Again they added a tally to their total In
the seventh , and in the eighth two more.
So Omaha wus again beaten , The audience
couldn't believe it , uud you could see them
Rll dubiously examining their score cards as
they moved , with funeral tread , from the
grounds.
Defeat Is n most dispiriting Institution.
Don't IU
But read the score , and remember Unit this
nfternooii Is when we reek sweet vengeance.

Notes on the Game.
Everybody was filled with disgust yester
day ,
The boys will surely brace up this after
noon ,
The Sioux Citys are Just a little too flossy
for us.
'iho only drawback to Flanagan Is that he
i& not rod-houdod.
The. St. Joes will bo hero to-morrow , and
wo miiBt oat 'cm ,
The Oumhas must bruce up In their stick
work or become mitisllod with defeat ,
T hut Wus a grand game , yesterday , and
the number of Indies present was surprisingly
largo.

It looks as if it would bo for Iho Corn IIus-
kcra.

Every ono of Omaha's errors yesterday
were costly. Both of Wulsh's cost u run ,
and so did ttie ox-presidont's.
yinpiro McDcrmolt was somewhat severe
on Iho local team yesterday , but it goce
without saying that there was no luUmtlonal
wrong at hla hands.
ijy bum * lilt by his owa batted
ball was a nuoatlonablH decision , nnd Nnglo ,
too. should Imvo been allowed third , If no

Walsh's game yoslorday was dccldedl ;
oriole. However , the whole sfftmo on Ihc par

The Sioux Citys are In high fcalhcr. To

Four llttlo puny bits la'hardly suftlclcnt ti

CHICAGO , May 19. [ Special Telegram t <
Tnr. Br.n. ] Tlio prediction of bicyclists wa <
verified last night , when Ned Heading , tin
Boldicr boy from Fort Omaha , finished ilrs
in the six-day professional blcyclo contest n
the exposition building. His steady , pluckj
work had been regarded with much favor nl
along , nnd many have said ho would bo up it
front nt the finish. Early in the ovonlnj
Heading , who was n lap behind Wilbur F
Knnpp , of Denver , made n magnificent spurt
and , passing Knnpp , BOOH left the latter n hi )
behind. Thp positions thus gained won
maintained to the end. When Reading dashei
past Knapp ho was greeted with thunders ol
applause. Thu finish , while vorv good , couli
hardly be called exciting , Iho men beliif
nearly exhausted by their hard work
ns most of the time the weather was
oppressively worm. Therefore , while tin
riding was html , there was not much spurtIng -
Ing toward the close , Reading's effort bolng
practically the last , Ktmpp claims that ho
was beaten by Ixjlug kept in a packet by the
other riders while Reading was spurting ,
but not many can bo found who tak'o sides
with him. Schock was virtually out ol
the race for two days past on account of the
injuries ho received by lulls , and ho looked
very poorly nt the Jlnish.
Nearly 15,000 people were In attendance.
The amateur races were very good. At the
close of the professional rnco Prinoo ant

apart , with the advantage in favor of Prince ,

Prince 035 !

Shock 078 !
There appears to bo considerable Ill-fool
ing over the result of the tournament ,
Knapp , of Denver , was In a v * ry ugly mood ,
to-day , claiming stillithat Prince purposolj
got him into a pocltot , and thus allowed
Rc.idiuir to win. The local uapors nearly all
lean toward this view , and , although nol
openly accusing Prince of trying to dctcat
Knapp , assort that it was n case of "Jockey'
ing. " Knapp wonts .to ride Prince , or nnj
or nil of the others , for 81,000 , and it h
likely that another mutch will bo arranged
before long , possibly at Denver. Morgan
is also angry at the -decision of the judges ,
which placed him behind Prince. There
was hardly two inches between them nt the
finish , and the Judges declared that Prince
was ahead.
There was considerable talk in sporting
circles to-day to the effect that Knapp would
dispute the givinir ut > of the stalces to ReadIng -
Ing to-uiorrow , but Knnpp would not talk on
this point. Mr. Ingram said tills evening
that ho did not see how thnro could bo any
dispute over the judges- decision , no matter
what Knapp or the local papers said about
Prince's action. There was no proof of un
fair action , and the judges' decision will
probably stand. There was considerable
yelling by partisans in the audience at the
time Reading forged ahead , and much hiss
ing when the decision of the Judges was
announced.

Tho'formula of the remedy was obtained
from the Creole Indians in Middle Georgia ,
by reliable white men , who had witnessed
the wonderful euros made by that tribe ol
Indians , of blood diseases. Mr. Hugh L ,

SMEUETlf THE BATTLE AFAR
tt .
A Horse Sooth Loarna to Love the
Smolio.
Tlio Mncniicccait Spectacle of nn Ar
tillery Clni r Sotno internal-
iiif ; llciniiilscnncns by n
JlioVnr Horse.
The Chrotffclo a fo\r $ clays ngo noted
the fact tbntUho government had paid
Captain Jerome B. Cox $100 for u horse
killed In the 'late war , twenty-seven
years ago.
It is interesting to know that the ani
mal which the captain prized so highly
then mot , death at the battle of Mnr-
frccsboro with wlilch Captain Cox's '
military fame is most closely connected ,
for It was here that Cox's battery bitvod
the day for Rosbcrans by holding an
important position at n critical momciH
against fearful odds , winning a place in
history which \vill bo hold while the
story of the great battle shall last. It
was during these critical moments ,
when the battery was pouring grape
and canister into the ranks before it at
the rate of six rounds a minute , that a
bholl exploded under Captain Cox's
horse with fatal affect , though the rider
escaped unharmed. The horse was u
well-trained aniuvil that had jralloped
qvor many a battlefield , and was Cap
tain Cox's private property. His claim
for its loss was not presented after tlio
war until too late , but a recent congres
sional enactment reopened the way for
his claim.
"It is remarkable how quickly horses
adapt themselves to the military serv
ice , " says Captain Cox to a San
Francisco Chronicle reporter."Every
artillery man knows that they learn the
bnglo calls and the evolutions quicker
than the menas , a rulo. For ono thing
they very soon acquire a uniform gait ,
which is about the same as the 'route
stop' or .the usual inarching stop. If the
horses did not acquire the same gait as
the infantry there would bo varying
distances between the different arms
of the service that is , ootwcon the in-
fantrv and the cavalryartillory and the
commanders and tnoir escorts.
uln the drills in the artillery service
the horses will themselves preserve
their alignmonfas well as the infantry.
I shall always romqhibor ono illustra
tion of this trait wlilch I noticed at a
very exciting and critical period of a
battle. In order to save some of our in
fantry from being surrounded and cap
tured 1 quickl.Y.apounted the cannoneer
on the gunsjAnU put the whole battery -
tory nt a deatp'gYililop across a stretch
of meadow iiUcfrrt ) half a milo wide. I
was quite accuatcifneiT lo such sightsbut
when wo wercpjatl way across tho. llold
I noticed the ctrjrny , and for a moment I
was lost in udftnifatinn of the mncniil-
cent picture , * $ &cry driver was plying
whip and spuriho great guns ware
rocking andi ? tfiundoring over the
ground , and every horse , reeking with
foam and full of animation and excite
ment , was straining every muscle as ho
galloped forwnrd'v yet it seemed to me
that a straighC.line drawn along in front
would have touched the heads of the
lead horses in front of the guns. That
was an artillorV cMirgo , ono of the most
thrilling sight ! iit'tho evolutions of war.
"It is surprising how quickly they
-learn the bugle calls.- After wo-had
boon in service some time , my first ser
geant once asked mo what call that was ,
as the bugle blow some command.
'That's n pretty question for you to ask , '
I said. 'How in thunder do you know
how to march ; " 'I don't know/
ho said , 'but my horses know. ' Lot
the first note of the feed or water call
bo blown , and there will bo a terrible
stamping and kicking and neighing.
Once in a terrible storm our horses and
those of several other batteries broke
loose , and there was u wild rush among
the artillerymen to got horses in tlio
morning. All was excitement and tlio
horses wore hard to got , but when I
ordered tlio bugler to mount a stump
and blow the food call the horses all
made such a mad rush for our battery
that the men could hardly got out of the
waV ouickly enough.
"When "it comes to battle a horse
scorns to know everything that is going
on , but ho does hiS duty nobly and
seems to bo in his element. Ho enters
into the spirit of tlio battle like a human
being. Ho shows no fear of deatn , and
It is singular that if his mate is shot
down ho will turn to look at him and
scorn pleased. A horse in my battery
was once struck , by a piece of shell ,
which split his skull so that ono side
was Iposc. The driver turned
him loose , but ho wulkc.d up by the
side of the gun and watched the firing ,
and 'When a shot- Was fired would look
away in the direction of the enemy us
if to see the olloct of the shot. When a
shell would burst near by ho would
calmly turn and look at it. When he
saw hjs own team going back for am
munition ho ran to his own place and
galloped back to the caisons with the
rest. When the lieutenant pushed
him us i do to put in another horse ho
looked at the other ono sorrowfully
while ho was being harnessed up , und
when ho soomcd to realize that thuro
was no further use for him ho lay down
and died. Tlio lieutenant strongly as
sorted Uiat ho dlod of a broken heart.
"At the time that Adams' , Jackson's
and Preston's brigades charged mo at
Murfreosboro some ollieor was killed
and the brigades wore driven back. But
the fallen ollicors' horse had not boon
taught to roti-cul , and ho did not. Ho
just c.imo at full speed through the
battery , and I toll you ho looked simply
grand. Ho was ai'largo , line animal ,
his nostrils worobstondod widehis cyos
fairly bla/.od , nu l yo clutched Iho bit
with his tooth us lip came on. He came
like the wind , and with his saddlc-tlaps
Hying ho looked as i ! ho wore Hying
miiiBoll' , insloaU of running. Every
body gave him a wide berthand I called
to the infantry that I would give 8100 to
the man who would catch him , but no
one tried it , and IjiJ is running yet for
all I know of lihul- . .
"I toll you I was sorry to lose Charley
at Murfrooosbotfl. Ho was my friend
as well us a faitjjTiit servant , aiid was as
line an animal o l tTvorbestrode.Vhon

SPANISH BEAUTYWITH A HISTORV
Hurl \ VhllilYiliiiming In n Wild
Woit Show A Sure Pistol Shot.
There lies in the Oklahoma wild west
camp at the exposition it very slcli
woman , who hiisn strange history , says
a Kansas City special to tlio Chicago
Humid. Shu Is a handsome and daring
little Spanish woman , htho of form ,
regular features , with Hashing jot
black eyes , dark hair and bright ami
plump chocks. She has the charm ol
youth , being only twenty-throe years
old. and is a dashing rider , n skillful
wlcldcr of the lasso and a dead shot
with pistol or gun. Yesterday after
noon this litllo woman , whoso real name
is Susie Kspinostti , but who Is down on
the programme as Miss Male , rode a
bucking pony in Iho procession and the
performance at the park. At the close
of her act she coint > liUnod that she had
boon hurt internally by the plunginn
of her horse , and took to her bod. She
was soon in such ngoiiy that Dr. Ford
wus sent for. Ho prescribed ino-iuhino
to case her of her pain. When tlio
olfcct of the drug hud worn olV slio
commenced crying and moaning again.
To-day she is much worse , and the
enmpis in gloom from the four that she
is dying. Miss Ksplnosta is of pure
Spanish blood and an aristocrat in the
wild west camp , fooling herself
far above tno ordinary Mexican
women of the troupo. Four years ago
her lover was killed while ongugod in
smuggling horses at Laredo , and she
was herself shot througo Iho shoulder
in a melee which resulted. Two yours
lutor , nt a Sun Antonio dance house ,
her brother wus killed. She was told
of it , and , rushing into Iho midst of the
crowd , she shot three men who had
boon concerned in the killing. She
received at that time a socoud bad
wound. Dr. Ford is ot the opinion that
l.ho action of tno change of olimato and
hard work of onl-door show lifo on
these old wounds have more to do with
her severe illness than any injuries
she received from the bucking of hoi-
pony yesterday.
