About three thousand spectators witnessed the battle , which was won by Omaha after a long drawn out nnd spiritless struggle. The bleachers hod moro fun than anybody , nnd from the opening to the close they did llttlo hutveil and hoot nnd guy the players , both sides coming In for about an equal ftliaro of their attention. Wahdoll , the man with the largest lungs on earth , was in his reserved seat Just back of the reporters' pow , and kept the autumnal atmosphere vibrating with dissonant vocifer ations. Many of the spectators drew a long sigh of relief when the contest was over , and \Van- del gave ono lost , despairing screech ana ran across tbo lleld nnd climbed into his $4 buggy. They were overjoyed to get rid of the old callnpo I Clarlto nnd Mcssitt were In the points for Omaha , but neither distinguished himself.

Bart aid the rotating for the Hawkoyes , nnd it was biff I bang ! smash 1 from the moment Docechor yelled "play fialll" until the last man wont out. But to describe the game by innings would bo a usfllcas waste of n couple of cents worth of lead pencil , nnd the gentle reader will have * to rest content with the information they can get out of the score. It might bo well , however , to state that the i DCS Molncs team , played like n lot of do- crupid old women , nnd they ought to go liomc , split up their bats into kindling wood , onJ go back on the farm , The score : OMAHA.

Omaha ball patrons can rest content that the Gate City will bo represented next sea son by a good strong team. All the present players will bo reserved and none of them sold , with possibly the exception of Clarke , as the inanagomcnt.hos concluded that it will bo moro to them in the long run to keci > the present team intact. Several now faces , though ; wlll'surely ' bo soon hero next year , and the regular team selected from the men s gncd. Those showing up best in prelimi nary spring practice will constitute the regu lar playing force. Another thing TIIE UEB Is enabled to assure the lovers of the game is that now grounds will surely bo secnred lor next Benson. It would ho a breach of contl- denco to divulge their location , but it can bo said that they are not quite half as far from the postofllco corner as the present park , and most admirably situated as to transportation facilities. The di mensions of the new grounds will ba 375x 825 , a trlflo small , yet still ns commodious as many that are being used In the country. Handsome now stands will bo built , and nil the accessories of an improved character. This , It Is hoped , will tend to increase the at tendance and enable Omaha to indulge in the hope of getting Into ono of the larger as sociations at no distant day in the future.

[ Special to Tnn BEB. | The "go-ns-you-plea o" ticket nomi nated by tbo democrats at Sioux City this wcotc already begins to show signs of dis integration and It IB donbttul If it can hold together until they moot tholr "Waterloo" in November. The bourbons seemed to have become somewhat weary of tholr railroad allies and gave the cold shoulder to several corporation cappers who aspired for places on the ticket. Boles , the candidate for governor , however , is a tnlak-and-thln railroad lawyer nnd hulls from ono of the ntrongost corporation centers - tors in the state. The railroads tmvo made Waterloo what It is , and no candldato from that town could bo expected to develop any positive opposition to the wishci of his uono- faotors. The democratic farmers who belong - long to the alliance will swallow Boloi with n wry fnoo , and some of them nro likely to kick clear ever the traces and vote for Hutchison. Bestow , tlio candidate for lieutenant gov ernor , Is much moro acceptable to the farm ers , ho having already , as a member of the state senate , nindo something of n record as an anti-monopolist. Judge Brnnnnn may poll his party vote , but being pitted nnainst so popular a cnndidato us Judge Given ho can not hope to make any alarming inroads into the republican col umns. David Morgan , the democratic canuldato for railroad commissioner. Is an anomaly. Ho is a Quaker and , it Is said , is ulso n radical prohibitionist. Justhawnnd through what influence ho was led Into the demo cratic fold Is not known , but It Is suspected that ho is only a democrat by brevet , and if the truth were known , ho is only a little sour ever some local mat ter and Is only willing to stay In the demo cratic party so long as ho has sonic assurance of securing an office. His neighbors all agree in saying that ho is an excellent man nnd a true-bluo anti-monopolist , and if this is the case he will retire from the ticket anil move to make the election of Spencer Smith unanimous. Wells and Liund and tlio rail road combine- proved a disastrous failure last year , and only served to run up a majority of 00,000 for the republican ticket. Ttiis year the democrats have gone to the other extreme nnd the result will likely bo the same. The republicans are quito well satisfied with Sprnccr Smith , and his majority of lust year will not be mate rially reduced , even should both the demo cratic and union labor candidates remain in the field. The moss back democrats , so far as heard from , do not take kindly to the ticket. All three of the leading candidates were republicans during the war , and "war issues" have not been entirely forgotten by the average bourbon. To vote for three "black" republicans , even though running on the democratic ticket will bo moro crow than they can swallow without a special effort , and they are not likely to enthuse very easily as the campaign progresses. The license plank , wbiuh was finally adopted , is very acceptable to the "slough water" districts , but is gall and wormwood to the river counties. The local option fea ture is very repulsive , and the minimum fee of $500 is too high in the estimation of the enterprising bootlegger of Dubuque or Dav enport. The average democrat of the river counties , where prohibition is not enforced , prefers the present policy to a strict license law ns contemplated In the resolutions passed bv the stuto convention. The effort to make a breach between the Farmers' alliance and the republican nomi nees for governor and lieutenant governor bos fallen flat. Both Hutchison and Poy- nocr have defined their position on the rail road question and both endorse the position taken by tbo recent state mooting of the alli ance. The alliance only asked that tbo pres ent law bo maintained and strengthened by giving the commission power to make joint rales over two or more connecting lines , nnd this will undoubtedly bo done. It looks now as if the campaign would bo devoid of any special interest. REX. PAXTON HOTEL , OJIAIIA Spec'ii at tention to commercial moil. Finest and largest hotel in the west.
