THE OMAHA DAILY BjIpJjJ : MONDAY , AUGUSt1 26 , 1889. CONSECUTIVE GAMES Tlmt IB What Omaha Haa Won From the Corn Huskors. BRILLIANT EXHIBITION. Splendid Pitching , Slinru Fielding , Dnrluc flnso jlmintnpnntl Iliunlr Hitting Notes. Omnlin 2 , Sioux Oily 1. Omnha won Its eleventh consecutive game ifrom Sioux City yesterday In ono of Iho prettiest nnd best contested games over Boon In Omaha , it wan not only pretty und good , but remarkable , as can bo scon. Kid Nichols was In Iho box for Omaha , with Coouoy us backstop , whllo Sioux City's twirling was done by Burdlck , who played n part ot last season with Omaha. \Vhtl9 the contest was principally a plU-hcrs * battle , It would bo nn injustice to the other players not to stale that every last ono of them played ball as though their chances of salvation depended upon their success. Nichols wont Into the game with n wlslon of or.o ot Prank Ha in go's ono hundred dollar overcoats danclnc before his eyes , for Just before the game begun Uaiiigo told him that ho would donate him ono If ho beat Sioux City. The Kid will bo all right this winter an far ns overcoats go , for ho not only boat them but actually hold thorn down to two hits , ono of which waun accident , struck out eight , nnd , what Is more remarkable still , allowed only UVdnty-sovon of the Corn "buskers to go to bat durlngtho gamo. "BUnllck , too , deserves much credit. Ho came on the field with n promise ot n new null , a gold-headed umbrella und several other articles should ho win. Burdlck will have to buy his own suit. But tbo gamo. It opened as usual with Omaha at bat. J licit Mcssttt led off with a high fly to Glenn In loft Held nnd retired In disgust. Clovelunit fell a victim to burdlck's slow curves nnd made way for Strauss , who chiseled out a two-bagger. The 0,000 spectators present lifted up their voices as one man und made the Welkin fairly .howl with their ecstatic cheers. But their Joy was of short duration , for old Jack Crooks hit direct to Bloolc , who throw him outnt first und retired the sido. Monk Cltno , of Sioux City , faced the Kid with bis usual chimpanzee smile and pre pared to knock the ball out ot the lot , but ho didn't. Begot abase on balls. "Hero Is whdro wo win , " shouted an old lady from Sioux City. It did look that , way , for the next instant Cltno stole second. Glenn hit n fly to Can avail , who fioze to it , and by his agility prevented Cllnu from going to third. CJrotty.struck out , nnd Clmo , uftor Brosnun hid missed the ball Uvico , started to steal third , but llttlo Cooncy shot tbo ball to Cleveland and Sioux City ambled into the field , . . One , two , thrco and out for the Omahas in the second. Cooncy's ' pop uptoBrosnanwas harvested. Walsh hit safe , but tried to make second and was put out. Wally Andrews fanned tlio nir. And it was the same for Sioux City. Brouuan struck out , Cleveland captured Qunin's foul fly , whllo Bradley cut three wide awnths tu trying to hit something that ho could not see. II was in the third that the audience howled.In expectancy. After Canavan's lly to Black had been properly harvested , the Kid hit one to short. The bull had side- whiskers and Black got his fingers entangled In them , hence Nichols reached second. Then Mc&altt bit a flv to Genius , who muffed it. The vegetable who issues prolonged und mellifluous sounds from the rear of thu re porters' box shrieked in glee , aud everybody wna happy. But things changed suddenly , for Mcssltl nnd Cleveland wcro retired in a neat double play "of Black , Brosnan and Crotty. Again did Sioux City fail to scoro. Black nnd > Burdlck were rotirod-at first by Nichols , WhoV tiring tit stopping grounders. ' fanned Jilurphy put nnd Jakey btrntss of Omaha picked up the bat to open the fourth inning. He hit to short and went out ut first , while Crooks was retired by Burdlck. Once moro did the audience yell , for Coonoy's ' fly to Brosmau was neatly muffed. But in trying to steal sccnod Jimniio wuscaughtnndulargo gob of gloom again settled over the park. To uud to the discomfiture of the fans , Sioux City came in and made a run. It was nil earned run at that. This is how It was made. Cllna bit to tbo Kid , who throw htm out at the bag , and than Mr. Qlenn came in. Ho smashed.out a three sacltor that made everybody tired except Joe Browning , sport ing editor of the Sioux City Journal , ard George. * ! . Common , u prominent sport from the Corn Paiaco city. These two looked nt each other In sort of ' a uhi't-that-a-dalsy-for- a-sturtor style , and just then Crotty climbed on the ball fur a single and Glenn ecorcd. Then they rose up and fell on each others' necks and wept tears of joy and exultation until the spectators In the immediate vicinity had to put up umbrellas to avoid the deluge. Crottv thought ho hud the Kid scared and tried to steal second , but was put out. Bros nan went out ut first by Walsh , Wally Andrews started in to tlo the score and made a long two-base hit , but his effort " was vain , for Cannviin nnd Mcsiltt were caught at first bag while the Kid struck out. And then It was ono , two , three for both sides until the eighth. Even the lucky seventh was fruitless. But the eighth was whorq the gamq was won. "Jim , " whis pered Crooks to Cunnvaii , "hit the first ball ho pitchoA you. " "I'll do It , " said Jim , and bo did. Ho smashed out n splendid slnglo to loft. Then , with great eclat , ho stole sec ond. Nichols , with his mind on the ovor- coa.t , uud not caring whether Burdlck had any winterxlotnes or not , hit safe toloft , nnd Cannvnn came homo. Then Me.ssltt.Uleyeland and Strauss went out In Jive is wa\satid Sioux City was retired iu ono-two-threo or der , an usual. The scoru was .lied and the spectators Xqlled themselves bourse. "Hey , hey , hey , ko whoop , " etc. , were the ejaculations sprinkled around in largo bundles , but tlio gamoiWrt * not yet won , and no one know'it bettor titan Crooks. Ho tulod hard to muko a'hlt , ami sent a pop-up to Brosnnn. Bros nan muffed it and Jack Itent right on until hOToachcd second , the latter being u steal. On Coonoy's out to list ho reached third , und after WiiUh had wont out on u little pop-up nnd Andrews had been scut to basil on bulls , scored on u hit by Cunavan uud won thu game. The last effort of Sioux City to win was pitiful. Oh , how hard they tried. But the base hits that they longed for never came. Biirdick wns retired by Crooks , who threw him out ut llrat , and Murphy and Cllnc foil victims to thu HCrpoutluo curves of Nichols. Then the crowd loft und went homo. And thla morning's sun will look down upon Nichols giving his old coat to some poor boy , while Murdick will bo found checking up his wardrobe uud wondering If It will bo a hard winter. Bore is the score. OMA1U. Totals 35 3 fl 0 2 37 20 ( SIOUX CITT. Totala..S7 1 3 0 1 87 19 BY IN.NINOS. f Omaha. . . . , 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 t Sioux Uity U 001000 0 0- ; BVMUillT.

' DBS MOINES , fa. , August 23. | Special to THE BEK.J Attention has again been called to the fact that the pharmacy law compels all persons who conduct n drug store or sell medicines or poisons to bo licensed pharma cists. The impression has prevailed in some localities that a regular physician could run n drug store without any license as a phar macist. Acting on this bollof n physician named Meyer was arrested by the pharmacy commissioner for running if drug store ut Uranvlllc , Sioux county , ho not being a reg istered pharmacist. The law very plainly covered his tiase , and the ovidcnco was strong enough' to hnvo convicted him with heavy penalties , but ho decided to plnad guilty without standing trial , and so was let off with a llnOjOf & > und.n warning. The pharmacy commissioners are taking pains to huvo it generally understood that a phar macy cortliic'ato IS absolutely necessary for anyone who 'wants to engugo in the drug business , and feitrca the law is on the statute books they propose that it shall he strictly enforced. Many , violations of this law hav'o bcuu rcported.uiid the commissioners have retained coun&9l.tb prosecute and punish the offenders wherever tboy can bo found. Sainuoi I A'rmstronn's ' Cane. % WAPKI.LO , Ia.August 25. ( .Special to THE EE.I A remarkable c.aso is that of Samuel Armstrong , of $ ljls placo. Ho is eighty-two years of URO , QWP _ ! } property to the value of § 253,000 , uud Is insane , being so violent at times that it "becomes necessary to confine him. Ills history has souio queer features. For many years ho was1 a prominent and successful contractor in Cincinnati , O. Ho accumulated , a ! respectable fortune in his business , most&F'whlctf 'ho invested in' real estate in that vicinity in a very judicious manner. His larg'dst holdings lay In Avondale - dale , Grconvilloand Columbia , O. , and they all became very valuaolo by natural appreci ation as well as by improvement , ills in sanity Is said tOjliHvo resulted from on Injury received in Avondale about a score of yours ago. Ho was driving away "from his place n man who was engagoa in trespassing and stealing fruit , when the fellow hurled a heavy stone nt him. The missile struck him on the back of the head , nnd from that tlmo on bo began to gradually lose his mind. Durin .the time that this in- lirmity was coining on him. aud before it had proceeded so far as to call for intorferenpo In his bohalf1 ho wiU induced to transfer his Avondale estate to an unprincipled rascal , who , it Is said , did not render him the slightest compensation for it , An extended litigation followed and the sale was finally set aside. Some timu after this a Greenville m.m was appointed his guardian , Armstrong himself having become too old to handle so largo an estate- oven hud ho not been mentally incompetent.

In it ho sa.y.s : Bo heartily lo.vnt to your republic. Think In politics only of her broad Interests. Avoid every tlo but that which binds n pa triotic citizen to the commonwealth , nnd you will do wlmt Is best for your native , as well us for your adopted country , Ho distinguished from American cltbcns , If at all , only by the foiirlessucsi , the Inde pendence of mind , thu freedom from slnvlih subserviency to the tyranny of 4mrty or dom inant opinion , \vhlch have boon the political charnctorlstlcs of the Englishman.

In that character you TBCCIII to bo specially called upon In this hour of trial to uphold tlio'causU ofTiccilom against the anarchy nnd tintl-republican Inlluunco by which , as the result of a vast , and hoturogo- neous immigration , It Is assailed.

"Not the least disastrous among the consequences - sequences of the fatal Rclilsm which rout our race a century ngo was the diversion of British Immigration from American shores , which havn since been receiving In over Increasing volumes immigration of n Icis congenial kind. This ovll has boon ujrgrnv.Uod by the profligacy of politicians who are pandering to n foreign vote , und who by constant abuse of Great Britain have caused men of British blood to shrink from making America their tiomc. The result , not In Now York City alone , has boon nn alien gcivornmont n government alien not only In race but in spirit nnd in aim. Nothing , surely , in the history of frco institutions Is is uioro shameful or moro discourugini ; than the subsorvenoy of public mon nnd ot the press In the United States to the foreign vote.

You will bo doing the republic true and loyal service in helping to deliver her from 'this shameful , voko , and to restore to her a national nnd patriotic government. The success of your government will teach the demagogue that trampling on the honor nnd feelings of his follow cltUons of British extraction Is not so safe aud profitable a trauo us it has boou.

[ Special to TUB Br.is.J The recent republican conven tion will long bo rooiomborod by the party In Iowa. Never In the history pf the stuto has tuoro boon such n , stubborn content over the nomination for governor and never such a Imppy ending of what at ono time scorned mi Interminable struggle. The result of the contest U n drawn battle , though victory apparently parontly lies with the conservative element. Wheeler was the Impersonation of aggressive. mill-monopoly legislation und his candidacy drew to Its sunport the warm nnd active As sistance of both the jobbing IntoroJts nnil the liillucnco of tbo Farmers1 Ulllnnco. Hull represented the opposite extreme nnd his votes outside ot his own dongrosslonnl dis trict came largely from railroad centers nnd from tlioso elements opposed for nny reason to the Larmboo administration. The old solJlors who recognize in Hull nn Ideal leader wo re strong uud enthusiastic iu bis support and hundreds of them still adhered to their champion with dogged pertinacity when the break iu the strong Wheeler dele gations rendered thu nomination of Hutchi son n moral certainty. "Tho old guardxllos but never surrcndore , " was the war cry of the Hull forces during the whole of the protracted balloting. The Wlieotor men held well together until fully convinced of the hopelessness ot further efforts - forts , when they gracefully yielded aud wont over to Hutchison with n hurrah that shook thu building. Tbo compromise which was effected between the two wlngn of tub party- In the nomination of Hutchison , though not written1 out in words , Is substantially thus : The conservatives nccept the anti-monopoly legislation of the past two sessions , and agroa to lot things remain in stntu quo for the com ing session , while thu radicals agree to let the maximum tariff , two cent fare bill and other similar measures sleep quietly in their little beds for the present. The unanimous retiominntion of Sponoar Smith for railroad commissioner is a pro nounced vlctoryfor the rudlcufs and thu hearty indorsement of the administration of Gov ernor Lnrrubeo by the convuntioii ajso served to put thu Wheeler moil in good hu mor and prepare them to accept , another conservative to complete the tickeU The defeat of Wheeler nlmosUnsiircd the nomi nation of Poynecr , who was the qnly farmer candidate for the ofllcu of lieutenant gov ernor. Thu multiplicity of candidates in strong anti-monopoly sections gava Poynenr the start , on the first ballot , and ho Was uo ccptcd'by the convention to hasten the com pletion of the work. The radical prohibitionists nro somewhat disgruntled over the platform. They honed to secure u moro speeillo pledge for radical prohibitory legislation , nnd especially an ex pression In favor of municipal suffrage for women , but the only result of their efforts was not onlv u inilu platform , but also con servative nominees. With this platform und with u mutual and harmonious oarty the ma jority for the state ticket ought to bo kept up to the figures in presidential years. Tlio democratic party is In a quandary and when itscol.orts assemble at Sioux City next month t o well delined plans of campaign will ilovolop. Ono faction will favor u radical anti-monopoly platform and a regular uranger campaign , while the other will insist on another tiu up with the corporations. If the anils rulu it would surprise no ono If Major A. U. Anderson , of Sidney , were named us the standard bearer. With Hutchison und Anuersqn pitted ngalust each other the cam paign would bo lively. However , the chances are decidedly In favor of the nomination of Cralir , ot Kooituk , u thick und thin railroad candidate , and another.- , railroad combine , The democratic grangers who go to Sioux City will bo howled down or relegated to the rear of the procession. It la a singular thing that no democrat has yet been found who is anxious to run against the 50,000 majority given Spencer Smith lint year for railroad commissioner. Neither of the former candidates , Willa nor Lund , are in the Hold , and from present ap pearances the nomination will go a-bcggiug. U may bo given to some fanner us a u son , and not unlikely to u member of the alli ance. ance.While the railroads arc perfectly willing to agree to a truce so far as thu republican statlickct ( , is concerned , they are by no means Idle. To gain a majority of "hold over" senators and block future lOKislation , and , if possible , secure the repeal of existing laws is their main object now , und to this end they are bonding ovury energy , 'Iho nomination of Oatch in Polk county , wliloli was effected by only one-half of ono vote , was a part of this di'op laid sohoiuc. After being beaten out of slcht in the city , losing his own ward by twonty-cight votes , by skillful trading against tilt ) Hold and throw- in t , ' the city votes ho controlled to , any and every candidate who would glvo him a vole In return , .Senator Gutch snatched victory from the very jaws of defeat nnd pulled through on thu narrow margin of half u vote , when his competitor , Cnptain Wat- rous , felt morally certain of Iho nomination by a two thirds majority. The. Ellsworth bolt In Wright county was not u brilliant success. Tlio forty-one rail road cappers who sent a contesting delega tion to the Htato convention had absolutely no standing heforo the Htato coininfttca and tlio regular delegation eluctedi by .the forty- two delegates was unanimously seated. Kllswoith can onlv bo nominated by the seating of the bogus senatorial delegation elected by the holteis , whose acts have already been condnnincd in , the most'cm- phatio manner by the state convention , and this movement would precipitate such an uprising among the farmers ai Jpwa has not seen for many a day.
