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.

BOSTON , Mass. , August 25. Special Tele
gram to THE BEE. ] The rumors of the forth
coming severance of the connection between
President William B. Strong and the A'tuhl-
son , Topekn & Santa Fo have , within a day
or two , taken n now form , nnd say Mr.
Strong's resignation has been demanded.
This , however , I snot correct. The position
of Mr. Strong since the reorganization has
been made very uncomfortable , particularly
by Kidder , Peabody & Co. 'B representative
on the board of directors. The tension has
not , however , reached the polnt'imollod In
the most recent rumor. In view , however ,
of the probable contest at the meeting ot the
board on September 6. Mr. Strong , it is un
derstood , has determined to 'forestall nny
possible- hostile action , and will submit his
resignation dating it back to the 1st of thn
month. Then Mr. Magoun will bo free to
put Into the position of president some ono
who will do his bidding.

This tlmo ho applied directly to the depart

custom tUrned his application over to the
congressman , who supposing U was another
one from'tho sumo place aud same man as

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

§ 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. The Halo of the contested
Avondulo property was also decreed , and
about n year ago it was sold to a syndicate of
capitalists for $100,109. The balance of tlio
property is s lll in hJs possession untouched.
Armstrong was never married. Ills only
heirs nro tils nephews and nieces , children
of his sinter , and all , or nearly all , ot them
live In Louisa county , Iowa , not far from the
town of Wapollo. . Several years aio ho was
brought out here uifd since then has mttdo
his homo with his < "nlecQ nd her husband ,
Mr. arid Mrs. S. .T. Paris. A few years ape
ho quite frequently accompanied Paris in his
trips to town and.ulsowhore-about tlio coun
try , Ho Is a largo man , dlgnltled and sena
torial in bearing but within the past few
years has fallen. Krcatly. Ho lias seldom
ueon seen in town during the past two or
three years , and { .ho growth of his inllrmlty
upon him' has rendered his close- confinement
a necessity a great part of the time.
Ho is treated In u kindly
manner by Paris und his wife ,
who uro among the oldest residents of the
county. Ho is subject to several hnrrussing
delusions , principal among which Is a firm
belief In witches. Ho sues thorn como Into
his room through small openings , such as
the liuyholes , and Is greatly bothered by
them In various ways. Ho keeps the crevices -
ices into his room closely stopped all tlio
time , und wears straps around his anklcH to
keep the witches from crawling up the legs
of his pants.
It is understood that the heirs huvo Insti

represented the opposite extreme nnd his

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

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

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 ,
