; THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY. MAY 27. isso.
THE GRAND STAND HOWLED ,
Sut the Outburat Was Duo to Any
thing But Joy ,
'DADDY CLARKE WENT TO PIECES.
* Whnt nt First Looked lilko a Certain
Victory la Turned Into a DIs-
Rusting Defeat In the
Inning.
Denver 7 , Onmlia O.
\Voll , wore you there ycstcrdayl
.Not Wall , tbon , you wore spared much
humiliation and a good deal of ) > nln.
What looked like a dead certain victory
was turned , In the twinkling of on oyc , Into
n most disputing defeat.
And , oh , donr mo , what a sere crowd that
was that filed sadly and demurely from the
park about halt-past 5.
Just think of thirty-live hundred sere pco-
1 > 1 o In a pilot
The npcctaclo wns agonizing.
The day was lovely one for ball playing ,
With sombro clouds hiding the blue ainpy-
roan , and shutting off the sultry ruya of the
sun and rendering every thing just right for
a brilliant struggle.
And It was n grand struggle , fairly reful
gent with wondrous features , up to the
clghtn inning , when the tide of woo began to
swell , and before It could bu checked had not
only engulfed the whole Omaha team , but
the great throng of spectators besides.
But It Is a disagreeable task on hand , and
let's hurry and got rid of it ,
Mossltt opened up with an out to McQuaid ,
nnd Cleveland was thrown out by Klusman
nt first The same gentleman followed up
this nlco play by a bad fumble , which gave
Btrauss his baso. Crooks ( truck out , how-
? < ; r , and ho wan loft ,
The Mountaineers went out In succession.
Then everybody settled himself for a
closoand Interesting game.
In the second , Coonoy sent a long high flv
to old Dal , the hero of many a gory conflict
In the years gene by , and Joined bis com
rades on the bench.
Walsh bad his "good oyo" with him and
took a bag on four wldcs by Mr. Kirby , only
to bo doubled tip , though , with Naglo , who
hit a curve to McQuuld , who also throw
Walsh out at second.
Mcssltt's muff let McQun14 reach first In
Denver's half. A moment subsequent Dad
Wmdo n wild pitch nnd ho made second.
iMcVey then retired on n scorching grounder
to Scrappy Jaclc , and Mao dared not leave
second. Klusman bit a vicious onoto Walsh ,
who scooped it in clean , and to the wild delight -
light of everybody , throw McQuaid out at
the plate. It was a nlca play and was greeted
by a roar of applause. Do Ian struck out.
It looked exceedingly like a score for
Omaha in the third , but alas t she gotethjt
noteth.
Canavan began with a single and stole sec
ond. Paddy Clarke also corked out ono.
Than , after tbo ball had been returned ,
Dolan throw down to second and caught
Canavan off his base , and with the assist-
unco of McVey , ho was run down.
Mcssitt struck out , but Graver followed
with a hit and Clarke gained third. Jiiltcy
J3trauss'flow out to big Dave Rowe , and our
chances all wout glimmering.
Tbo grand stand sighed , and you ought to
hear a grand stand sigh. It sounds some
thing Ilka the wall of a lost soul.
, Itwas ono , two , three for Denver , so again
everything was all O. K.
The next was a triumphant inning for
Omaha ,
And how the bappy people did make the
Sabbath air quaver with tboir glad shouts.
Captain Crooks incited the poans of victory
by a rattling drive to right for two cushions.
A passed ball allowed him to reach third.
Coonoy wan presented with a base by the er
ratic Mr. Kirby , and on McQuaid's muff of
Walsh's bit Crooks ran homo and so did
Coonoy , too. Naglo laced out a single and
Walsh scored. Canavan then struck out and
Clarke forced Naglo at second.
But wo made three runs , ana Omaha stock
wont up at a lump.
The Dcnvors invested another dollar and
drew another blank.
For Omaha the .fifth begun by the ox-prcs-
.Jdent reaching v , flrst ont four bad bolls.
Strauss made a beautiful bunt and both men
wore safe.
Everybody smelt some moro runs , but
'that's all , .they smelt them , because Crooks ,
Copnoy and Welsh were ignomimously
quolchod.
The Mountaineers bold another losing
ticket.
la the sixth Naglo took first
' on bolls , only to bo forced at second by Can
avan. The latter stole second , but got no
further , Clarke ynt Messitt being put out.
The Donvers aid not faro oven this well
they never saw first.
The next inning wan another triumph for
the locals. f
Cleveland utarted the music with a torriflo
flrlvo for three bases. A passed ball hit him
across tbo pinto. Strauss wont to first on
balls , stole second and third cleverly. Crooks
went out from bbort to first and Coonoy on a
fly to Dalrymple. McQuaid then nmdu an
other muff of Walsh's hitand , Strauss scored ,
and Walsh reached third. Ho came homo a
moment later on Naglo's bit , and then Naglo
was put out stealing second , and the score
Stood :
Omaha C , Denver 0.
For the Mountaineers , both McClelland
find Rowe reached their base on errors by
Walsh , but McClelland was caught off his
base by a foxy throw by Mossitt to Walsh ,
nnd retired. The next two men wont out
nnd still the score remained the same.
It was ono , two , three for the first time for
Omaha in the eighth.
But not BO with Rowo's brawny myrml-
Sons.
They came in , and with a suddennoss-ness-
pcss that all but paralyzed the whole city , they
llt'onto MR Clartto uud hit him in the neck ,
tbe wocn tlio eyes , on the nose , up and down
Ills ribs , nnd across the back , never stopping
until no less than flvo of the blue jcrsoyed
friends had crossed the rubber.
Just stop and think of it a moment , and
'you may possibly roaliza how all this slug
ging acted upon the sensitive nerves of the
spectators.
Up to this Juncture not a hit had been muio
pft Clarke , and then , In a single inning , tbev
pwoop down on him for no less than a half
dozen , clean , thoroughly laundriod bits , and
came within a single run of tying the game.
It was Just simply horrifying.
However , It might never Dave happened
Jiadn't Joe Strauss sort o' rattled Daddy by
n very bum muff of a bit by the second man
'btthobnt.
A deep hush fell over the crowd ut the
Omahas came in for tliolr last whack.
Uut It did them no good. All tbo ambi
tion had boon incontinently knocked out of
them , although the ever hard-working
Crooks did line out u two aackor , only to be
extinguished trying to make third on it.
Them U no usu dwelling on the legend
loutror.
Denver came right In like a yearling at a
( county fair , and without even sa much as
Buying "How do you do , Mr. Clarke , " they
oppod right upon his back again , and with
four straight safe smashes , sent la the tying
* nd the winning runs.
Wasn't that rotten !

complaints that came from Tuma county of
the condition of the Iowa rlvor , In which fish
Wore dying by the cart load. The secretary
of the board of health has been to Marshall-
town and mada n personal and careful la *
apoction of the situation. It was thought at
first that tbo rofuia of the glucose factory
was responsible for the pollution , but that
hardly Booms to bo the trouble slnco In other
places the same retime IS turned Into streams
without damngo or cause for complaint. Uut
it was learned by the health ofllccr thUt In
1837 the crock , on which the factories were
located , was very low , so low in fact that
the bed of the stream was filled with refuse
matter , und tharo was not water enough to
carry It away. It has loin there fermenting
nnd decaying ever slnco , and Is now a
living mass of corruption , con
sequently it pollutes the crook and the rlvor
into which the crcok empties. A sample of
the water was brought back. It is black as
night , and has an odor that nearly knocks n
man down at ten paces. It Is to bo analyzed ,
and moantlmo the health officers will try to
determine some way of abating tbo nuisance.

DNS MOINKS , la. , May 20. [ Special to Tun
BBH.J During the session of tbo last gen
eral assembly , a committee appointed by a
convention of the blind people of the state ,
appeared before it. They asked for an ap
propriation and the necessary legislation to
provide for the establishment somewhere in
the state of an industrial homo for the adult
blind. Their request was backed by peti
tions from many of the blind people of the
state , as wall as from others. The legislature
passed an act creating a commission for this
purpose , and last March Governor Larraboo
appointed as the commission , Hon. L. A.
Rilcy , of Louisa county , Colonel D. M. Fox ,
of Dos Mollies , and Miss Lorana Mattico , of
Benton county. The commissioners were to
Investigate and prepare a report to bo laid
before the next general assembly , with such
recommendations as should scorn best.
In pursuance of their instructions , they
visited a number of the loading Bclioois and
working homos for the blind in the oust , and
they IIAVO reached a conclusion that the state
should establish an industrial homo for the
adult blind of Iowa. Tbcro are between
l.SJCO and 2,000 blind people In this state , SO
per cent ot whom are adults. It is intended
that this industrial homo will afford constant
employment to such as desire it , und thus
enable them to bo self-supporting. They
find It hard word under present conditions
to compete with these who can sco and thus
earn a living. It is suggested that they
could work at broom-making , mattross-mak-
inir , carpet weaving , cano seating of chairs ,
and-unholstenng. Tito commission is still
engaged la gathering Information on the
subject , and will embody the results of their
Investigation in a ronort'which will bo laid
before the next general assembly.
An , Interesting Decision.
DCS MOINES , la. , May 30. [ Special to
TUB BEB.I The supreme court has decided
a rather novel but interesting case affecting
the right to bridge navigable waters. The
county authorities of Dickinson county bad
authorized the building of a bridge over the
small arm of West Okobojl lake , which con
nects it with East Okobojl , The brldgo waste
to bo a draw , but suit was brought to enjoin
them from pnvmg for the brldgo , on tbo
ground , that it would bo obstruction to navi
gation , and that the county had no control
ever the bottom ortno lako. The supreme
court sustains the , injunction and says that
the state owns the bottom of the hikes and
that no county has a right to lav out n high
way ever thoui , and then order a bridge to
bo built in order to utilize this highway.
The arm of the lalfli i question is only u few
rods wide , but the court holds that the state
has never relinquished its right to the land
at the bottom of the water , and therefore no
county can brldtro it. This nettles a point
which may bo of interest In many parts of
the state whore rigrlgtfblo streams or bodies
of water are found ; . "

BOOTLEQJjiERS IN IOWA.
What Revenue Collector Webster
8ayn on the Ivffoot ( if Prohibition ,
A correspondofrdo , interesting' as giv
ing the resultsolChe attempt to enforce
prohibition in tli'e forty-nine counties
of northern Iowa , constituting the in
ternal roven no district of Dubuque , will
bo published in the next i&suo of the
Floyd County Advocate , published In
Charles City by Hon. B , F. Wright ,
"tho fatherr > f tbo prohibition amend
ment , " says u DCS .Moincs special to the
St. Louis Republic.
Mr. Wrlpht recently wrote Collector
Webster , stating his belief that the
collector was in connivance with the
violators of the prohibitory law. At
least , ho Buid. tl o .iimjurliy of the
licenses to retail lUiuor uoalora iHsucd
Sy the collector bore mythical names
istoad of the real applicants , the pur
pose being to evade that provision of
the lowu law whi h' mukod the posses
y the defendant of a government
license bearing his name prlnm faelo
cvitlonco of his guilt. Mr. Wright de
manded that the collector before issuing
the license correspond with abnnkor or
some other reputable man In the town
in which It is proposed to do bustnosi
nnd Inquire whether the name sought
to bo placed on the license Is the real
ono of the applicant and to rcfuso a 11-
cense in all cases whore the contrary ap
pears , and nlbo Itooplila booits open , so
that nny ono applying nt the collector's
olHco may examine the record and as
certain who has been licensed to sell
liquor.
Collector Webster , In his reply says :
"Of the 1,500 licenses Issued from this
olllco but GO boar mythical names. It is
not within the power of the collector to
withhold a Hconso from any ono who
meets the requirements of the law , and
the applicant is ontltlod to whatever
name ho wishes placed on the license ,
provided his rent name is stated in the
application. It is not compulsory on
the part of the collector to expose his
list of applications , nor docs the good
of the service dictate that ho shall. The
violation of the state law Is not his concern -
corn , for it is not an otTonso against
the laws ho is sworn to
enforce. On the other hand , the ex
posure of the list would Injure the ser
vice by subjecting these whoso names
appear on it to prosecution under the
state law , and by thus inducing them
In the future to add violation of the federal -
oral law requiring that they procure
licenses to sin against the state law.
The olToct would bo to diminish the re
ceipts of the revenue department' from
licenses nnd to increase the expense for
the detection and prosecution of crimo.
"Tho Iowa prohibitory law , " con
tinues the collector , has already had
this effect. The sixty licenses bearing
mythical names were issued to dcalors
in the counties of this district , In which
the most viuorons efforts have boon
made to enforce the prohibitory law.
These efforts have boon costly , not to
the people of the state alone , but have
resulted in great expense to this de
partment by requiring us to detect and
punish persons unlawfully engaged in
the liquor business therein. From your
county ( Mr. Wright's ) wo have taken
into court nine boot-leggors and con
victed them of violation of law by
carrying on the liquor business without
having government license. BVom
Governor's Larrabco's county ( Fayotto )
wo have convicted forty-nino. His
county has cost us moro for criminal
prosecution than any other in the stato.
On the other- hand , Dubuque county ,
which yielded us more revenue than
any other , has cost us little. Wo have
had but three criminal coses from Dubuque
buquo county , and none were for boot-
logging.
"From these facts , " continues Mr.
Webster , "it may be inferred that
Governor Larrabco made a mistake
when ho stated to a Nebraska audience
that prohibition wasinforcodin oighty-
flvo of the ninety-nine counties of Iowa.
On the contrary there is not a county
in this district , nor a town of 300 inhab-
tants or ever , for which retail liquor
dealers' licenses have not been issued ,
when taken together with the number
of bootleggers convicted , indicates an
increase in the number of dealers as
compared with the number in existence
before the prohibitory law took effect.

MOTHERS ASCHAPERONES.
Not So Watchful as They Should bo in
Giddy Paris.
At homo'we hear a good deal about
the Pilgrim Fathers , but you just ought
to como to Paris to learn all about the
Pilgrim Mothers , says a correspondent
of the St. Louis Re"publfc. Wherever
you are , in a hotel , a pension or in the
house of ono of the numerous American
residents on the Champs Elysoe , you
are confronted with the mother who
has ono or two daughters over hero to
finish their education , while the father
an unknown quantity remains in
America to earn the wherewithal to
render such a visit possible. The
daughters are hero to learn the lan
guages and music and the mother sits
about like an ogre to see that they do
ni/t learn any less intellectual arts.
These girls are prey for men wherever
they are discovered. I know of ouo
salon where at least tan girls can bo
found each night with no protector be
yond , the ample mamma who sits to ono
Bide with the hostess while- the
girls go dancing about with
n young clerk of the foreign legations
or lieutenant of the army , or perhaps , a
real llvo minister of ono of the powers.
I stumbled on a scene last night at an
American lady's house which was es
pecially instructive. I had wandered
out to the conservatory , at the rear of
the house , to smoke a cigarette. The
violins were playing a sweet waltz in
the drawing-room , and , as I crossed a
sort of courtyard leading to the con
servatory , a couple danced by me , leav
ing behind them the sound of happy
laughter and the fragrance of vlolots.
I wont on my way , and sat down on a
wicker chair beneath an azalea bush.
From the other bide of the bush I hoard
voices. At first I could not understand
what was being said , so I felt on titled to
linger. But soon the man's volco became -
came moro distinct , and I assure * you
that the speech of Claude Mtil-
notto , word for word that ono
in which the picture of the palace
on the Lake of Como is drawn , with the
alabaster lamps , and the sweet songs of
birds forever syllabling her name was
uttered in mellow accents. The speaker
was an Italian , expressing himself in
English. After ho had finished , I
hoard a girl's volco say :
"Oh , Count , it Bounds just like a play.
That is a beautiful speech. "
"Your " the "would
eyes , was reply ,
inspire poetry in oven a duller man
than I. "
And then I hoard n kiss , and then a
deep sigh.
I moved away. Five minutes later u
well-known Italian .count , a roue and
gambler of the hardest description ,
came out of the conservatory into the
ball-room , with a young Now York
girl , the daughter of one of the Pil
grim . 'Mothers , loaning on his arm.
Her cheeks were flushed , and the count
lookedttriumphant.
Two centuries ago I would have boon
bound to muko a quarrel with the
Italian , nnd kill him or myself be killed.
Hut this is centennial year , nnd these
Pilgrim Mothers pretend to know much
moro than I do.
A Revolutionary Wreck ,
In oxcavatlng to deepen a crook

The und ot thcr Keelson can bo soon 1m-
bedded in the mud at ono point , and
about thirty foot from it a woll-pro-
ucrved live-oak rib , with a part of the
planking attached , wat > tulcon out. The
land in this vicinity was reclaimed from
the river , and there is a tradition that
it was at or near this * point that the
British , during the siege of Savannah
in 1770 by the ariulos under General
D'Kstning and Lincoln , sunk vessels
across the river to prevent the French
ana American war vessels , which had
passed around the western nnd of
Ilutchlnson's island , from dnflladlng
the defenses of the town , It is not im
probable that the old wreck which is
now brought to light , if not ono of these
sunk ut that time , has not boon afloat
during this century.

The Grant Output of Oreo.
IDAHO Sl'iimcis , Colo. , May 22.
[ Special to TUB UKIJ. ] There la more
interest taken in scientific mining
ninoiiff these mountains thtin at nny
previous date. Anil these who are
oporatlnjj- mines state that mining moro
than ever has boon reduced to a system'
BO accurate that , as a business , it is no
moro uncertain in its results than any
other pursuit understandingly followed.
The output of ores is greater than over
before , and the results moro satisfac
tory , owing as well to the improve
ments in mining machinery , and the
erection of necessary mills and other
works , us to the acquired skill in find
ing and handling ores.
In support of the nbovo assertions ,
Homo facts and figures at hand shall bo
used to substantiate them. From 1805
to 1809 the total products of the mines
of Clear' Crook county amounted to
8182,823. In 1874 , the mining excite
ment having been intensified , the out
put aggregated $2,203,047 , and the
number on gaged exceeded that of any
former years. In 1880 the products
summed up 82,1)04,728. ) The population
had Increased to abe ut 7,000 , and the
number of minors to 2,650 , the largest
number ever engaged up to that timn.
and moro than have "been any year
since. After that date , and till 18S5 ,
there was a shrinkage in the value of
the output. In the last-named year the
rninoj of the county ( and I speak of this
county only ) , yielded about $3,000,000 ,
though there wore not as many miners
employed as in 1880.
The mining industry is better organ
ized and has-moro confidence in the cer
tainty of a btoady business than at nny
period since the discovery of gold at
Pike's Peak ; and , though carried on
nearly without excitement , is acquiring
a deserved place among the industries
of the states
In the earlier years of the mining
operations the implements wore rude
and inexpensive. There wore no ma
chines for hoisting ore from perpen
dicular shafts , and whan prospectors
found signs or indications thought to bo
good , horizontal tunnels wore cut into
the sides of the mountain so as that they
might trundle their findings in a wheel
barrow to the mouth of the opening.
Afterwards , small cars propelled on n
tramway superceded the one-wheeled
barrow. Improvements and inventions
have gene on apace , till steam power
and approved implements have para
lyzed the old methods.
The time was when the ere and tbo
rocks in which it was found wont to
market together , making transporta
tion so costly that many a good mine
was vu'catod because it would not pay.
Stamp mills , custom and sampling
works as well as reduction and concentrating
trating- mills in the mining region are
now preparing the ores for shipment seas
as that the minimum cost of transporta
tion is reached.
Each mine is recognized by its name ,
and dealers in ores are as familiar with/
both name and location as an Omnium
is with the stations on the Union Pa
cific railway , A heavy traffic is carried
on in the precious metals. Buyers are
hero in quest of it just as cattle and hog
dealers frequent South Omaha.
Silver predominates in quantity and
value in most of the mines. Gold is
next in value , and both are usually , if
not always found in the same rocks.
There is a great dissimilarity in the ap
pearance in the rocks , however , taken
from mines not very remote from each
other , owing to the presence of iron , or
copper , or lead. Thorp is a mine just
above Graymont very rich in load said
to be GO per centum of that composition.
The company working it pays 60 per
cent royalty to the owners and make
money out of the transaction.
Ores are found in the mountains only
in fissure veins. There are no carbon
ate deposits at Lcadvillo. The fissures
are simply seams of variable widths be
tween the walls of rock , many of
which extend to a great
dopth. In one mine near
hero the Champion situated on the
tip top of Bellevue mountain , the vein
has been penetrated to the depth of 800
feet , ana the ere is borne in buckets one
mile and a quarter to the mill at the
base of the mountain. The trunsnortu-
is olToctod by moans of a seven-eighth
inch steel cable nbovo ground , sup
ported on trussols. Some of the veins
are nearly perpendicular ; others dip at
different angles , all the way from eight
to twenty degrees , and can bo traced
east or west , frequently , several hun
dred feet.
In a ride from- Idaho Springs to the
western tormmus of the Colorado Cen
tral railway , iwenty-ono mites , not n
few of abandoned mining works may bo
seen. Relics of pioneer minors are in
sight , such as log-cabin shanties , old
fence posts still standing , and tunnels
from which ore had once been takon.
The traveler can discern very many
places where prospectors havn lately
boon at work puncturing the sldoa of
the mountains for the purpose of de
termining whether the ere is rich
enough to reward the minor for his
labor. Specimens are taken'to ' the assayer -
sayer , who , after putting it in his cruci
bles , settles the question.
There in no dispute about those moun
tains being fullof inotaliurglo sub
stances , . SuiiniK ,
