The Omahas nnd DCS Moines will moot again this afternoon , nnd see whether they can't play a gnmo to a finish. Omaha's fa mous young pitcher , Nichols , will bo In thn box , nnd It's great big odds that ho lands the ebony appareled brigade a winner. Hut the lowans will keep them playing ball all right , have no fear of that , for they are putting up about as stiff on article of the great national game as any club In the association. The people plo of Omaha , who have been clamoring for years for a winning ball team , should show their apprcclatioon by turning out and see ing thcso games. They've got n winning team now , and one of the very best wo have gotten together In the west. They nro playing magnificent bail , every one of them , and the management should bo given every encouragement for the flue sport they are giving us by the mo&t liberal - oral patrouago at the hands of tbo public. It may bo many u year before such ball playing Will bo scon la Omaha agaiu. Turn out , every body , this nftornoon and give'tho boys a bumper.

Notwithstanding the gloomy , threatening weather yesterday , a fair Sunday crowd , Bay anywhere from twenty-five hundred to thrco thousand people , turned out to see the opening game of the fourth series between the Omaha and DCS Moincs teams. Had it not been for the darkened sky , lower- ins clouds and generally inauspicious look of things , there is no doubt but what the at- teddarv'o would have bran as largo again. Those , however , who were venturesome enough to bravo tha chances of a soaking , were a hundrodfoldrepaid , by witnessing what was really the most exciting contest played upon the local grounds this season. It was ono of those games that effervesce with snap and ginger , with brilliant fielding , clever hitting , goodbnso running nnd provo- catlng errors OPI of thnso var.viag , fluctuat ing , up and down sort of battles that k'cep the spectators in an uninterrupted state of feverish anxiety from start to finish. The Omahas appeared for the first time at homo la their now black uniforms , which it must bo said are tho. nattiest and most becoming - coming seen hero this season. Up In Minne apolis they dubbed the boys lu tbcso sombro togs tbo Demons , and'it. looked for awhllo yesterday that the now clothes wore going to hoodoo us. The boys pulled together raag- blficontly , and finally , after'one of the hot $ test fights they have ever engaged in , suc ceeded in making it a draw with the doughty Prohibitionists. The lowans had the locals licked two or thrco times during the struggle , but llko Boncho's ghost , they wouida't down , and every time managed to save Miomselvcs by the ekin of their teeth. Tom Naglo , Omaha's great back-stop , was quite painfully injured m the eleventh in ning and was compelled to retire , Strauss taking bis placo. A'vicious foul tip struck his mask and drove one of the broken , jagged wires into tbo flesh above the right ye. He bled profusely , and for a time the spectators feared that ho bad lost an eye , but luckily tha hurt was not so serious. Clarke Old the twirling for Omaha and ho received a vigorous drubbing , thirteen hits , with a total of twenty-two , being scored off him. It was no fault of bis that Omaha \vas enabled to turn defeat into a stand-off. Billy Hart was In the box for the visitors , nnd the game ho put up was of the par-ex cellent order but six safe hits being ob tained off his delivery by the coming cham pions. Omaha opened up In away that was promis ing enough , and tha crowd settled itself to BOO thorn oDlitcrato the representatives of the side-door state. Cooney opened up with n corker to loft , nnd Cleveland got first on n saffron-colored Juggle by Mr. C < 9mell , which little piece of prestidigitation also let Coonoy'cleur 'round to third. That boy runs like a rabbit when ho Wants to. Joe Strauss came next , nnd no sent a long , high fly to Pulton. Cooney running across I the rubber after the ball was caught. The hoxt moment Buffalo Bill allowed ono of lu Hart's catapult shots to got by him and Cleveland came In , Of course the spectators yelped a little at this , but they didn't seem to think thcro was Much of a call for enthusiasm , as Omaha liad K fcuch a snap , don't ' you know. ; - It was ono , two , thrco for the visitors. In tha second Andrews went to first on four bad ones , second on Naglo's out at first , third on n passed ball and homo on Cana- van's out nt first. Clarke wafted.

It was geese eggs for both sides In the Ixtb , but in thQ savonth , after ladling up nnothor egg for Omaha , the visitors got in two moro runi and were ono ahead. "Ah I" crloj some crank in the grand stand , nd tbon sllcnco roiinod again. The above two runs were made on singles t > y Hart und Patton and a beautiful throo- bag drive by Maskrcy. 4t was another blank in the eighth for tbo Iiomo team , and another run for DCS Molnes. This made thorn two ahead , and as the Omabas were hitting like a lot of children , ndtho Prohibitionists llko a lot of Trojans , It looked as If the day was lost. Uut lu the ninth Omaha tlod the scare and there was a scene of wild hilarity In the Stands and on tha bleachers. Men and boys tossed un their hats and yelled llko a baud of t/omaucbes la u war dunce. They were so happy , you know. Noslo opened up with a single. Canavan wont out to Patton , but Clarke sent Tommy homo on a two-bagger , taking third himself it moment later on Coouey's out Cleveland was presonteu with hie ba&o by Hart , and on IClusuiau's funiolo of Strauss' grounder Clarka crossed the plate with tha i-uu that tied the seoro.

THE PRACTICE OF POLYGAMY , It Hna Undoubtedly Bocolvod Its Death Blow. TITHING SYSTEM BROKEN UPt A Strong Probability Tlmt thn Great Mormon Temple Will Never no Completed Hard Work to Prosecute. A Boo Man la Mormontlom. LAKH UITT , Utah , July 24. Staff Correspondence of THE DEB : "What n pity that such a beautiful city , with such splen did possibilities , should bo bold back from tlio magnificent proportions It will some day assume , simply by the religious and social differences. " Such was the exclamation of Congressman Burrows , of Michigan , after wo had bcon driven around the environs of the once famous but now oxtlnct Brlghnm Young. After spending two days in Salt Lake City with the leading Mormons ana Gentiles and seeing every part of the city and Us vast Interests , and talking with the members of the Utah commission and with Bishop Cannon the 'latter the head of the Mormon church I have coma to the con clusion that polygamy has received its death blow and that the Mormon church Is on its last logs. If the church did not depend upon recruits from Europe it would make an assignment within two years. About every thrco months a missionary or elder arrives from Europe with a small band of benighted Individuals , mostly an extremely Ignorant and * unattractive people , who have boon proselyted and captured by the church. These nro distributed around the territory and go to 1111 up the ranks made vacant by the operation of -Edmunds law. Very few are dropped horo. The tithing system Is entirely broken up by the law , so far as can bo soon , although it Is supposed that It Is carried on to a limited degree under the guise of "voluntary contrl- buttons. " The federal government confis cated the valuable property belonging to the Mormon church and occupied by the Desert News as a printing , office. It Is an Immense square , partly covered by n building for this publication ofllco and o Dices for clorks. There Is an abundance of room where the poor , ignorant people dumped the fourth of everything they produced , and which was sold to regular customers , the same as & general merchandise house. Every fourth load of wood , grain or wool or other product of the farm or factory was brought here and given over to the church. Some other buildings belonging to the church organization and used for Business purposes were confiscated , placed In the hands of a re ceiver , and they are now rented to the church , but they nro not used for the pur poses they were onco. Nothing tending to the teachings of the polygamous brunches of the Mormon faith is permitted. Thn federal ofllcors at the outsat of the Edmunds law , live years ago , took cbargo of the great torn pie , which the Mormons began to construct forty years ago , which cost 53,000,000. is to cost as much moro and bo the finest roligioua edifice in the United States , but it was soon found that it could.not be confiscated. It was church property , and although the business concerns of the church could bo taken , the edifice could not. When I as nod the super intendent of construction when the temple would bo completed ho smllo.1 softly and In his rood Mormon regulation way said : "Wo do not know. You see , sir , the church was cut off from its regular and hon est titbings by the Edmunds law , which truvo it a backset in money matters. It maybe bo a quarter of a century yet. It is to bo used , rot as a place of worship , but us a place for ceremonies , marriages and other rltos , ordinations , and so forth , aud there is no hurry about it. " It is my bonost opinion that the temple will never bo finished by the Mormon church or ganization , for I believe the church vvill fast decoy. It was once as powerful , tyrannical and ambitious , in its way , as was Rome un der tha Caisars ; but it will bo remembered that the Roman empire fell. The building of railroads bero was the first black eye to Mormonism. If they could have bcon kept out a quarter of a century longer no one knows what trouble or what loss of Ufa and property would have boon neces sary to dislodge the Mormons , for they originally intended an orgaaizatian and en trenchment which would bo invincible ox- ccpt to the Invisible. ISrigham Young op posed mining because it would tend to bring in strangers not converted to his practices. Ho advocated agriculture , that being for him moro productive of both people and tithes. The railroads brought in these who exposed him. 3. In the tabernacle at a concert the ether day I sat bosiao George Q. Cannon , , who is Brighiiin Young's succsssor , and whom I have known very well since ho served in.tho Forty-seventh congress. Ho , it will bo romomborcd , was the very first who was sought for by the federal au thorities under the Edmunds law. He was finally placed on trial on two indictments unlawful cohabitation and polygamy. Ho was convicted of the former , the lightest charge. Hoforo sentence , however , bo es caped , remained in hiding for many months , and when President Cleveland put upon the federal bench a good domocrat-who was not hostile to the cuuso , Cannon ro-appoared , paid his ball bond , $25,000 and stood up for sentence. He got seventy days In the peni tentiary. Great guns 1 The sontcuco given beggars in police courts for stealing a loaf of bread I Hut Cannon haa six or eight wives , so many children ho did not known them all , and , besides , ho is rich , and has tbo millions of tba church behind him. Ho got out of the penitentiary a short time ago , and tells mo bow ho occupies the pulpit at the temple and the assembly as of yoro. Hut Cannon has lost old his casto. It is tbo doctrine of the church , and when under indictment tbo council oraalned "that for the good of man kind and the glory of God" ho skould re- cclvo Ins sentence and servo his term. If ho had done that ho would have been cannon- izod upon his entry from the penitentiary. But bo demonstrated by bis actions that what was good for the geese was not always a relish for the gander. Olio intuitively inquires after ho looks about the city and admires the beautiful sur roundlngs : "Do tbo Mormons have plural wives yoti" I asked General Robertson , ono of tbo now members of the Utah commis sion , that question , and in answering ho said : 'Oh of thorn undoubtedly , yes , a great many edly do , but wo can not easily got bold of them. It is oven moro ulfllcult than la ascer taining ordinarily who of the respectable married men In the eastern cities keep mis ' tresses. Every now and then a you'ng wo man , living at homo with her parents , all Mormons , gives birth to a child , Nothing is said about the parentage. People under stand that she is the wife of some man , may bo a prominent capitalist and well known citizen , but the fact cannot bo disclosed. " Tliero U on every baud traces of the once powerful organization of the church , yet they are scarcely moro prominent than these of ttiu commune nt Versailles , when Franco was sacked , or of tbo Independent government nt Genoa , Pisa. Milan or Home. Out there are evidences of all that the church oiicodld that was carnal. I have visited the great and historical store , X. C. M. I. Zion's Cooperative - ativo Mercantile institution and with its $ 50,000 capital , now controlled ' by gentiles and Mormons alike. It docs its old time busi ness , managing to declare a 10 per oont divi dend , and carry a handsome sum to the sur plus every year. It sells everything from a thrashing machine dowu through drugs , dry goods , boots and shoos , hardware and tbo sundries. Then here I * the vegetable aud meat market run , and established by Mor mons. It does u land ofllco business also. The Mormons and pcntlles have nut yet reached the point where they do not prefer to discriminate in the purchase of their goods ; but they buy where they can do the best with their money , and gradually and' surely the lines are being oblit erated. The'Mormons and gentiles joined in entertaining and doing honor to Congress man Domby's congressional party while wo have boon here , and sa far as external np- poarances are concerned ono could not dis tinguish between tbo two classes. While the yell of tbo ox driver pulllu ? the immense marble blocks for the touiplo are hoard , the muslo from the wonderful organ In the tern- plo is wafted out through the city , the soft ami low tones of , the Choir in the assembly hall penetrate the broiling sunlight , the old tithing how so stands , the tomb of Brlgbnm Y6jlng Is vlowod by every passerby , ana the most Immense banking add commorclal hou cs frSundcd by the Mor mons boar their ' 'original signs and have their original customers. Mormonism has lost Its grip. Thojonlr thing needed to out the Incubus off tbq body cleanly Is a legisla tive commission , created by congress , with power to make laws to fit emergencies , so as to moot the evil ns'lt ' exists , and to enforce thorn. Tlio Utah commission , with Its re stricted powers , Ignml n sinecure. To pull the ovll out by thoa-oots a pair ot forceps i necessary. With Mormonlim anil Its blighting Influ ences out of the war Salt Lake City will become powerful nnd Is a splendid flold for the real cstato speculator. Property is growing rapidly In value , and Is retarded by only this ono barrier. Next February the city election will bo hold. U Is believed the llbornl Gontllo ticket will bo elected , and that the people's ticket ( Mormon ) will bo permanently defeated. Then up will go property vnlucs. Ogdcn , forty miles north , wont liberal In February last , and Its boom has boon phonomlnal. As soon as tlio gcntllns get control of Salt Lake City eastern capital will como in nnd real w- tate speculation will run riot. And so confi dent nro the gentiles ot success In February that many of thorn , nnd some Mormons , are quietly buying real estate. The design-of Salt Lake City Is charming. It Is nestled in a broad valley surrounded by high mountains. Her blocks are 140 rods on every side , with out alloys , and the streets nro 183 feet from curb to curb , nro clean , level and beautiful. There are waterworks , street cars , olootrlo and gas lights , and , the most valuable bulld- liR8. PRIWT S. HEATH. THE CHICAGO BREEZES. Ono of the Worst Ever Known In That City. CHICAGO , July 23. From nil accounts re- oolvod to-day and this evening , last night's storm was ono of the worst over known in the history of the city , both for the amount ot rain fall aud the damage done. Aside from the awful catastrophic at Twenty > arst and Loavitt , where eight people were killed &y ft falling house , three lives are kuown to have been lost.

Along the streets in the out skirts the storm may bo traced by fallen trees nnd wrecked fences and outhouse. Among a dozen other casualties the case is reported of a patrolman who , while reporting to tbo station sergeant over his patrol , was knocked senseless by a shock of electricity and is in a very serious condi tion. The tremendous rainfall raised Chicago river rapidly , and all last night and today - day it has boon flowing into' Lake Michigan nt a speed of about six miles per hour. "Tis reported that traces of the filthy water can bo discovered nearly as far out as the the crib , where Chicago's water supply Is takou Telegraph and telephone wires throughout the city nnd suburbs wqro badly used up , and to-day largo gangs of men have been busily employed repairing damages. The city fire 'engines were to bo soon scon1 at I many points in the heart of the .city . pumping out water from the basements of stores , restaurants und ether places , purinp the height of the storm last night , the , propeller Boston , of the Now York Central line , grain laden , coming down the south branch from the elevator , be came unmanageable on account of the swift current , and swung broadside to against abridge.

D. 0. , July 5S. ! | An English solicitor , who has boon in Washington for some weeks and who Is con nected with some of tlio monlod syndicates which nro creating so much talk In the newspapers - papers at the present time , explained to-day the reason why so much foreign capital is seeking Investment In the United States Just at present. "In the first place , " ho said , "tho syndi cates are operated with English capital alto gether. Money from all sootlons of the con tinent is pouring Into London for the purpose of being Invested In American enterprises. The reason for Itl Well , the truth Is that there is a widespread impression throughout the money centers of Europe that the whole continent Is drifting In the di rection of war. This Idea Is growing rapidly nnd Is causing n withdrawal of money from enterprises throughout Europo. It explains the reason for the great Industrial depression which has prevailed for some time , nnd which seems to bo on the Increase rather tnan on "tho do- croaso. Capitalists are looking for some thing which will be safer than European stocks when this tirno shall como , nnd they are sending their money to this sldo of the Atlantic in order to bo prepared when the crash comes. This explains the talk so often hoard now of English syndicates Investing in all sorts of American enterprises. " It was learned from another source that the solicitor himself had made preparations for heavy investments for his clients. Wash ington real cstnto was to have boon bought up lu largo blocks , so the story goes , but the discovery that the alien land act prohibits the ownership of land in the District of Co lumbia by foreigners has settled the project for a while at least. MKUnniTlI INDIGNANT. ' Captain Meredith , chief of the bureau of engraving and printing , is greatly annoyed over the stories which were printed lost week to the effect that a plot had been dis covered to print off n lot of government se curities from the plates in his bureau. Said Captain Meredith this afternoon : "Tho story was printed with a scare head in all the western papers nnd the following mornlnjt n denial was published In two linos. The yarn was an absolutely impossible ono from the first , and I am surprised the managers of the Associated Press permitted themselves to send it out without malting some attempt to find out whether or not it was true. The fact is that there Is such a perfect sys tem of checks in the bureau that such a thing as an unauthorized issue of notes or securities is impossible. Each scrap of paper Is counted fifty-two times , nnd every p.xrtlclo must bo accounted for. The plates are checked In and out of the vaults and every press is locked up as soon as it Is stopped. The registers toll exactly how many sheets each press has printed and no ono is allowed to leave the building at night until the reports show that everything Is all right. A conspiracy to print notes would have to take In nearly every one about the building and would como to nothing then. No , the bureau of evgraving and printing has too many safeguards nrouud itjo make such a plot as that described possible for a day. WHAT'S ITS MISSION ! Wasblngtoa is to have a now weekly pa- por. At present there are something less than ten of thcso sheets , and the profoundest mystery attaches to the manner in which they manage to exist. The now sheet Is to bo democratic in politics , and Mr. Edmund Hud son , the correspondent of the Boston Herald , is to bo the editor. It is said that the money necessary to establish the cntcrprlso has boon promised by ox-Socretary Whitney , and that the schor.a is to pave the way for that gentleman's nomination for tha presidency m 1893. At the present time there is no democratic newspaper in Washington. Agents of Mr. Whitney have been negotiating for some time to purchase one of the established newspaper plants , but the negotiations have not boon successful. MISCELLANEOUS.

THE NATIONAL GREI3NBACKERS. No Sympathy With Prohibitionists null BufTrngiiits. WASHINGTON , July 23. Chairman Jones , ot tbo national greenback committee , will , to-morrow , issue a circular letter in which ho will say : "In reply to many inquiries from prohibi tionists , female suffragists and rourosonta- tlves of ether sentimental or semi-political organizations asking admission to our party or what action will betaken taken by the coming greenback convention on the question they represent , I desire to say , with duo respect to all who honestly advocate such doctrines , that it is the unanimous opinion of the members of the national greenback convention to bo hold at Cincinnati , Sootombor 1 , to confine its declarations of principles to the ques tions of restored fraternity and the spirit of true American nation ality umong the cntlro people , opposition to the dangerous sectionalism of the solid north and the solid south , to the payment of public debts according to the original contracts under which they were issued , to money , land , transportation , trusts , boards of trade gambling on and making prices for American farm products , English capital manufacturing or handling the pro ducts of American labor and to such ether questions as alfcct the material interests and welfare of the American people and free government , " Tha letter then says that trade and com merce nro languishing for want of moro money , nnd declares that the application of greenback principles would stimulate busi ness and Increase the prosperity of tbo labor ing classes and of tha merchant and manu facturer.

THE FARMER IN POLITICS , Ho Shows Hlmsolf to Bo 11 Very Important Factor. ALWAYS OF GOOD JUDGMENT , Cnmlldntoq In tlio Hrwlcoyo Stnto Alroiuljr HcRUmlng to Itcoognlzo tlio Strength of the Granger Vote. No Markoil Chrmgcv DBS MOWER , In. , July 3J.f Special to Tnn Unit. ] There 1ms boon no marked change tn political affairs during the past week. In * tense activity has characterized the movo- inout on behalf of all the loading candidates for the republican nomination. Hull , Wheeler and Hutchlnsoti arc on the warpath and are Industriously coaching the granger vote. The farmers never were so promlaont In Iowa politics as they are this year , uud the politicians nro beginning to roalUo that the coming convention will bo decidedly on the "giauiter" order. Desperate - porato efforts are being nmclo by both Hull mid Hutolilnson to divide the farmers , but so far with only IndlfTorortt success. Vigorous ofToru are bolng made to Btop tlio Wheeler stampede In the northern part of the state , Uut from present Indications only the two counties of Dickinson and Emmet In that scotlou will bo avod. Those may go to Hutch inson. In Calhoun county , which adjoins Sao , a lively political contest is going on. Too sol- dlor clomnntls solid for Hull , bat the nlllanco Innucnco la almost a unlto for Wheeler. Cat- houu may possibly elect a divided delegation. A new candidate , In the person of VV. W. Crape , has boon brought out by Dos Motnos county , but this is probably only- for effect. The delegates from this county will bo solid for Hutchison when tha proper t'.nio comoa , mm so will the wholu southeastern part of the state , with the exception of a few scat tering votes that will bo given to Hull. The desperate effort of the corporations to call a bait In anti-monopoly legislation is uxtcndiug the fight to the legislative dis tricts. The state sonuta has always boon the bulwark of the corporations , and they nro bonding every energy toward maintain ing control of that body. Poweshlek an.l Kookuk counties have just sauilnatod tor tha stuto senate W. If.over , of Griunoll , who Is largely engaged in manufacturing and who beaded a delegation Of lobbyists two years ago that cam j up to the cupltal to op pose "radical legislation. " It is safe to say his nomination Is entirely satisfactory to the railroads. In the counties of Hardln , Hamilton and Wright a unique triangular contest Is going on. The corporations first brought nut E. S. Ellsworth , of Iowa Falls , as a representative , from Hardlu and L. A. McMurray , of Web ster City , who Is not so pronounced a rail road man , was urged by Hamilton. Wright county , which is the smaller of the three , bud no candidate , but finally Mr. W. B. Tyrell , a farmer aud stock raiser , was in duced to Vaka the Hold and the light Is wax ing warm. The Farmers' nlllanco Is extremely well organized in all of these counties , and the contest at the primaries betvvoon the mem bers of the alliance and the "old timers" promises to bo uo child's play. It Ipoka now as if n compromise will bo tnado on McMur- ray. 'Should Ellsworth bo nominated a bolt of no inom dimensions is almost sure to follow , and the inoro than two thousand republican majority in that senatorial district would likely bo wiped out. Even should the cor porations capture those two districts they woulu ouly bo "holding their own. " Ttio first namewas represented in tha last sonata by a blatant corporation tool named Doolcy , who was elected us a grccnbackcr and anti- monopolist , but who foil by the wayside and was led a willing victim Into the corporation camp. The ether district was represented by Weber , of Clarion , who blow both hot and cold as the occasion demanded , but who generally - orally voted with tha enemy when necessary to defeat anti-monopoly measures. Among the members of the last senate who have been effectually shelved by the antimonopoly - monopoly crusade is the brilliant ' 'Talt. Clark , " of Pago. Senator Clark is a strong prohibitionist and was the author of the Clark prohibitory law. perhaps the most radical measure of the kind over enacted by a stata legislature. Ho wont to the sumo extreme - tromo in orposition to railroad legislation , and seemed to entertain n superstitious reverence - eronco for ' 'vested Interests" when mani fested In the form of watered railroad stocks , but held up his hands in holy horror at the bara thought of compensating the brewers and distillers for their losses occasioned by the enforcement of prohibition. The fann ers of Page and Tromont have "salted" Clark for good , and ho is now oufof politics , at least till the corporations are onca inoro in tbo saddle. RJX.
