County Alliances.
FIIBMOXT , Xob. , April VJ. ( Specal to TIIK
H r.iTherols : | n great deal of Interest
among the fiirmcw of Dodge county Just now
on matters iiertaining to the grange and alli
ance. There tire at present about a dozen
subordinate lodges in the county and now
ones are being organized almost every week.
The latest ono has Just been organized by
farmers in the vicinity of Glencoe , in the
northwest part of the county. Isaac Bang-
hart of Illdgely was recently appointed as
county organizer by the state executive com
mittee. He has begun his work and is ex
pected to add n number of new organizations
in the next few weeks.
So far as has yet developed no political ac
tion has been determined upon. Neither the
grange nor the alliance is a polit
ical organization , but it is believed that the
leaders in this county will insist before the
next general election upon some definite plan
to be pursued by the organizations. The po
litical interest will probably bo manifest in
the legislative ticket to bo chosen.
It is pretty cei tain that if the present sen
timent among the farmers prevails next fall
Dodge county will have a granger reprosen-
ta ion in the next legislature. A largo num
ber of the topics discussed in the grange
meetings imd in the grange columns of the
county papers uro of a political nature. Ono
of the principal of these is tlio money ques
tion. IJppresentntlvo Dorsey , who is chair
man of the committee on banking and cur
rency in the house , has come in for a small
shareof criticism for his advocacy of the na
tional banking system. Inasmuch us ho is
president of three or four banks some of the
fanners in his own county linvo expressed tlio
opinion that ho is more interested in legislat
ing for Ills own than their benefit.
A now plan of co-operation just determined
upon by the ( { rangers of the central part of
the county is a grange store to bo started at
Centerville. The following committee has
Just been appointed to draw articles of incor
poration : Maple Hall gi-angc-rJolm P.

Dodge County Corn Crop.
Fnr.Movr , Neb. , April 12. [ Special to TUB
Bnn 1 As near as can bo ascertained there is
yet in the hands of the farmers of ledge )
county fully one-half the corn crop of last
year , Tho'amount so far disposed of repre
sents the surplus sold and fed to cattle and
Bheep. The amount yet on hand Just about
represents the average cribbing capacity of
the farmers. There is no special distress
among tlio farmers of this county. Perhaps
nowhere In any part of the agricultural sec
tion of the country can there bo found the
same number of farmers who are suffering so
little from agricultural depression. Two
years ago thu farmers of this county had the
most successful year of its history. Oppor
tune rains resulted In n big corn crop , much
of which was sold as high as JO cents per
bushel. This enabled our farmers to pay off
a great many mortgages which they had
given as payment for their land and Improve
ments thereon. In a great many Instances
that single crop paid the value of the farm.
It placed the farmers in a condition where
now they are able to hold the principal part
of their last year's crop with the hope of
higher prices. The exaggerated statements
of tlf "political farmers" concerning the
general condition of the state are a long ways
from the truth concerning the farmers of
Dodge county ,

Their discussions portnln mostly to politi
cal economy and local Issues. They are
strongly In favor of withdrawing thcfr sup
port from men , tlrms and newspapers that re
fuse to ivcognl/o them. There Is no doubt
thut If they continue hero with as much In
terest as has been shown , they will accom
plish some good for themselves.
Money commands ' - " , , and tl per cent per
month at this place , mid the reported distress
among the farming class is not overdrawn
much. However , it must Iw admitted that
the hard times of the farmer * tuako It equally
hard on the business men.
The amount of corn left in the country Is
somewhat limited , as a great deal had to * be
disposed iif for immediate needs , besides u
great deal bos been used for fuel.
From I'rcHldent Powers.
LIN. OI.N , Nob. , April 10. To the Editor of
TniilliiK : Heferring to the proposition to
peri > otunte the national bunks by issuing
government bonds at 2 jHr ; cent j > er your , to
IKI sold only"to bankers , and to be used solely
to secure their issues ( or the money
of the government issued through
them ) , 1 uii | opposed to any such proposition.
If the government is not able to pay all its
bonds when duo It should issue new bonds to
cover thu , deficiency nt as low u rate of Inter
est as possible. But any such roundabout
way of issuing so-called money should never
IKJ perpetuated. They are only notes of indi
viduals secured by government notes , or
bonds , which are the same. As notes of indi
viduals they have none of the qualities of
money , but being secured by government
notes secured for them tie ) confidence of the
people. Clreenbaeks have that quality with
out any such Indirect and cumbersome tir-
nmgemcnt , I low much better and worthy of
confidence would U bo for the government to
Usue and loan money to the people duvet , sc
oured by their hind , which has more uniform
uud Indestructible value than silver or B ° ' t
nnd the worth of which Is continually en
hanced by the Improvement * of civilization
nnd the Industries of the people.
And then whatever Interest 1 * paid on such
an Issue would go directly to the support of
the government , and so would lessen the
taxation , either direct or Indirect , of the
property owners In our whole country , while
the Interest paid to hanks only enriches the
capitalists nt the expense of the working
itepple , and the national banks only pay to
the government one-fourth to ono-llfth of the
amount of Interest Unit the government p.iys
to them. -T. H. POWKIH ,

POXCA , Neb. , April 11. [ Special to Tin :
HKB. ] The Farmers' Alliance of Dlxon
county , recently organized , Is becoming n
very popular society and increasing rapidly
In numbers , having now n membership of
over fifty. At the meeting for the election of
ofllcers Judge Kdward Arnold was chosen
president , W. W. Atkinson vice president , A.
Davis treasurer , and D. W. Hey secretary.
As yut the alliance has made no movement
or demonstration of a peliticnl nature , but In
other ways is seeking to make the organiza
tion of practical benefit to its members.
A co-operative lumber company hna been
formed , with J. J. Sorry as business manager ,
nnd a general merchandise store to bo estab
lished at Ponea on the .same plan is being
seriously considered.
The agricultural class of the county Is be
ginning to realize the necessity of some de
cisive action. It is claimed that four-fifths of
the farms of Dixon county are mortgaged and
high rates of interest are paid.
About 70 per cent of the corn crop has been
disposed of and the rest is still being held.
A Statement From Air , Adams.
Sui-mtioii , Neb. , April W. To the Editor
of Tin : Br.i : : Hefcrring to an interview pub
lished in your valuable paper of the 11th iust. ,
1 beg tlio privilege of placing my opinions and
views upon all .subjects before the world over
my own signature. As to the "monopolistic
part" ascribed to me , your readers are the
best judges. As to "capitalist , " I despise the
name as I do that of "monopolist , " and if six
teen hours per day in the harness makes n man
cither a capitalist or a monopolist then I will
have to plead guilty to the charge. This in
terview was given as a reflection upon No-
brasha politics and that particular part I con
fess I Intended to handle without gloves.
The reference to Farmers' alliances was that
1 did not know anything about their plat
forms or inside workings of their order , inns-
much as I had 110 means of learning the same.
What I said was that my business relations
for the past eleven years in this state had
been among the farmers , and that my regard
for the Nebraska farmer wiis of the highest
order , and entitled him to the respect and nil
the business interest of the state ; that
the talk about tlio bonded indebtedness
of the Nebraska farmer and his disposition to
repudiate any of his indebtedness was all
IK > MI ; that the Nebraska farmer was made of
sterner stuIV ; that he felt as independent in
his possession of Hit ) acres of land as n king ;
that he was not owned nnd controlled by any
one and when he had time to investigate , h.s
action was independent and of a high char
acter ; that the mortgaged indebtedness of the
Nebraska fnrmcrs.uppHod to the farms which
were mortgaged ( which were not more than
ond-nnlf ) , would not average more than $ SOO
jtor quarter suction , and the rate of interest
would not exceed S per cent or i4H per quarter
section per annum , which condition makes
the Nebraska farmer appear in much better
shape financially than he has credit for : .that
he was putting m his time upon land he called
his own and in which his equity was con
stantly increasing ; that tlio interest he paid
upon his loan was a mere pittance compared
with tlio rental of lands in the east , from
where he emigrated because ho was there un
able to nrocnroahoino ; that the western
farmer is a friend to "till internal improve
ments and was over ready to recognize their
importance both by his vote and his bond.
As to the sudden prominence of
the Farmers' alliance all over the
state , Us Impetus was brought about
largely by the low condition of crop prices ,
and what to do to bettor this state of things
was tlio honest inquiry not only of the farmer ,
but of the business men of the country ; that
the cattle men bad their turn at the low price
of beef , and they blamed the "big four , " but
the beef market hail gained strength and the
"big four" was now loat sight of , and the
same condition of tilings would result from
the revival of crop prices and an easier con
dition of the money market ; that the farmer
was IK-III , ; taken auvuntngo of by a set of
political dead beats , who are insuming
through tlio newspapers to voice the senti-
mcnU of the alliance by calling the attention
of the world to the fact that the farmer , as n
class , was in favor of repudiation ; in favor of
driving out the middle man ; in favor of
crushing the railroads ; In favor of destroying
the relation existing between the government
and its banking system. In short , they
would have the farmers change the tried sys
tem of our government so it would not bo
recognizable , and all for the sake of riding
into political preferment by the farmers' vote ;
that the only just comment that
could bo minlo upon this class of
political mountebanks and grave diggers
would bo to say , as Henry Clay did , when ho
was informed that one of his blooded animals
had made war upon u locomotive and was
killed. "I admire its courage , but damn its
judgment. " Applying this to the political
humbug who attempts to represent the true
workings of the Farmers' alliance , the only
tiling that could be seen to admire was the
courage , for surely their Judgment was hick-
ing when they thought they could dr.ig the
farmer with Ids great interest , together with
the vital business and commercial interest
of this state , down to a polluted grave. That
capital is a coward , and it would dodge
even If a political dead beat made a lick at it.
Hence the business interests of the state are
Ix-Ing affected by this intimidating capital ,
which would otherwise .seek investment here ;
that it was time to revolt against nil such
political flap trap , and I do not believe the
farmer will long tolerate any more the soiv-
headcd politician who boasts of no other ac
complishment than a pair of rawhide boots
and a patched pair of pants to cover up Ills
political deformities. The genuine farmer
and the alliance will desert thesejtind of men
when it comes to the trial like rats deserting
a sinking ship. They will be as fast to rele
gate these would bo leaders and political
dead beats to the rear as they are to as
sume their self-impotanco today.C. .

BKII.J The Farmers' alliance of Gage county
Is growing Into a prominent nnd Important
political factor. The growth of the order in
this section has alarmed the old wheel horses
and every effort is being made to conciliate
this powerful Influence. The alliance experi
ment Is practically in its infancy in this sec

very healthy youngster. The Beatrlco.ln-aneh
of the alliance nt a recent meeting endorsed
a proposition looking to the supimrt of the

present at the meeting that freely opposed
any movement in the interest of a third parly.

Tlio Alliance and thu Merchants.
l\itlaieaHainie ( .ifo. ) Tlintt.
The Farmers' alliance ( a most exemplary
organization ) has a business agent In each
county and a state purchasing agency In each
state. About all members of the alliance
need can bo purchased through those chan
nels. In iioiiio counties of Kansas and else
where there are alliance stores where those
who belong to the order do most of their tradIng -
Ing We think this Is a subject that should
receive the most careful consideration , for It
Is of vital lmk ) > rtnnce not to the alliance ulono
but to nil branches of business and trade.
Withdraw the support of the farming ele
ment from the towns and cities nnd but one
result can follow : the towns and cities would
IKJ depopulated. Hetiill dealers would be
compelled to close their doors and grass
would grow along the streets that are now
busiest. This would result in making the
alliance purchasing iigency the most gigantic
trust atui momiixily that ever existed. From
ono great center Its huge arms like long
tentacles would reach out in every direction
all over the land and cru 1i all conu > ettlon. !
And therein would result a wrong and Incon
sistency. The object of the nllhineo Is to de
stroy trusts and monopolies nnd not to build
them up or to replace with greater trusts or
greater monopolies.
Suppose the results mentioned above should
obtain , what would follow ! No ono would
suffer more than the farmer. Whore would
bo his market ! Would the iilllanco agency
buy his chickens , his potatoes , hogs , cattle.
horses , corn , etc. ( And If It did , after all
competition had perished , what assurance
would ho have that Its tentacles , having
crushed everythingel.se. wouldn't reach out a
little further and crush hlml It could llx the
price of what ho bought and vlmt ? ho sold ;
and the experience of the world 1ms been
that where such power has been obtained It
has been abused.
Undertaking Too
Itttiinu Sentinel.
There is little use for us to write anything ,
unless we by so doing express our honest
convictions. Wo are aware that the alliance
asks for many impracticable things , but at
the same time they have many things in their
teachings that are commendable. It is only
by organization that wo succeed in any un
dertaking. In making their demands the
Farmers' alliance can hope to succeed only
by thorough organization. We do not claim
to endorse all of the doctrines set forth by
the alliance , for we see many inconsistencies
In the organization. For instance , they join
hands with the Knights of Labor , while the
interests of the two are exactly the opposite
of the other. The Interest of the farmer is
cheap labor and high prices for his produce ,
while it is to thn interest of the knight to re
ceive high prices for Ids labor and pay n small
price for tlio farmer's ' produce. Thus each
has interests in direct opposition to the other.
Yet they join hands with each other in a com
mon cause.
Again , wo do not believe in the government
loaning money on tlio real estate of the citi
zens. Our country would soon be landed es
tates under the control of government ofll-
cials. Wo would soon lose tholove of country
and wo would be continually abusing the gov
ernment , because it would be comitclleu to
foreclose the mortgages on our homes.
Patriotism would cease to exist. We would
be placed under a heavy tax in order to raise
money to loan to the ] > eople. This would belike
like furnishing the cake for the church festi
val , then going to the feast and paying for
the privilege of eating our own cake. Why
not give the money to the people direct at
lirst ?
But good will come out of this organization.
Of course men who have carried the farmer
for years , when the farmer quits trading with
him O'ving a bill , and when the merchant
tries to collect , resolutions are passed de
nouncing the man for trying to collect his bill
it is enough to make the creditor feel like de
claring war. But these are Isolated cuses. ,
But when the farmer has paid his bill with
interest , then he has a right to buy or trade
where he pleases. Wo are with the alliance
only so fur as wo conceive them to bo right.
Undoubtedly they have a right to organize
for their own good , but they have not a right
to do so for the harm of their neighbor iinless
that neighbor is doing a dishonest business.

Farming In lied Willow.
McCooic , Neb. , April 13. [ Special to Tun
BED. ] The winters here nre mild und short ,
nnd the past one has been exceptionally line ,
and the spring favorable for seeding , which
Is about over , nml ( many acres plowed for
corn. Much of the wheat was sown in Feb
ruary , Some farmers have out 200 acres.
For ton years wheat has been sown in Feb
ruary every year but ono. Corn Is planted
from April 15 to Juno 10. A fair crop of corn
can bo grown on new land or sod. A mini
broke up sixty acres last spring and planted
it to corn , and last fall gathered over sixteen
hundred bushels of good sound corn. Taiio
eighty acres of wild land , nnd break it up In
the spring and plant it to broom corn , and the
crop that season will bo worth more than the
land It grew on.
The mild , short , dry winters make
this a line stock country. In a
radius of twelve miles of McCook
over twenty-live hundred cattle hnvo
been fed for market during tlio past winter.
Many uro shipped to Denver , but most of
them go to Omaha or Chicago. Hogs go to
Denver. These u o worth hero now W.OO per

fed .WO steers nnd 000 hogs. The nbovo is a
good showing for a comparatively new und
sparsely settled county. The homo consump
tion of corn for feeding nurix > sns creates a de
mand for it and it readily brings on tlio mar
ket In McCook 22 cents to 2U cents per bushel
now. No corn Is shipped from this point , ns
It la all fed to stock. If "stock is the wealth
of a country" this county is surely on the

Tut : JUi : : . ] The legislature will mljourn on
Tuesday next nftor a session of inofo than
tlio uvor.igo length. But In spite of tlio long
sc.ssloii comparatively llttlo has been accom
plished. The deadlock over tlio organization
of tlio house seemed to demoralize the mem
bers when 1)103' ) did get to work. They acted
ns if they didn't know where to bogiu lind
were most concerned 'In finding where to
leave off.
Very llttlo general legislation has been en
acted outside of legalizing nets mid some laws
of local interest. There nro very few ' meas
ures of public importance as u legacy from
the Twenty-third general assembly. On the
subject of most general public interest , the
liquor question , there has been no legislation
nt all. The democrats were not very anxious
to have the law changed Just at this time ,
because they expect to use prohibition as
campaign thiuulor for the next two years.
The republicans ! were afraid to make any
change in the law on account of the hist re
publican platform , which has held them to
the "settled policy" idea. So nothing was
done and the Issue will be the chief one in the
next legislative contest.
There was not much cxpcctod in the way
of railroad legislation. The anti-monopolists
urged especially a hill authorizing the rail
road commissioners to fix joint rates. That
bill passed and has become a law by the sig
nature of the governor.
A good deal was expected in the way of
school book legislation , at least thcro was n
very general demand for some relief from
high prices. The state uniformity scheme
Which was urged by representatives of the
"Triangle , " or publishing houses in Indian-
npolis , St. 1'uul and St. Louis , was a com
plete. failure. It had very little strength In
tlio senate , and only aliouta third of the mem
bers in the house. The only other measure
suggested was the district purchase plan al
lowing each school district to have uniform
books , to bo furnished at cost or free to the
pupils , as the voters may choose. There has
been a strong sentiment in each housein favor
of some place of that kind.
The tramp law is ono measure which is of
general operation , passed by this legislature.
Jt proposes to make the business of profes
sional tramps unpopular by setting them at
work on the stone pile or .sending them to the
penitentiary. Iti.sto prevent county jails
from becoming free boarding houses for
tramps , and to prevent them from preying
upon farmers aiuj other hard working citi
zens for their living.
Another law of .gcjicral . interest is that re
ducing the rate of legal interest from 10 to 8
per cent. Aside from these , there arc very
few bills passed this session except legalising
acts and bills of local interest , and there are
not a great many of the.se.

The selection of thl'co mine inspectors has
proved to bo a great joke on the democratic
party. When tlio democrats were counting
up the spoils afttifr the election last fall , they
reckoned as u piirt of the pri/os tlio three
mine inspectorships. The terms of the in
cumbents are to expire this spring , nnd they
supposed that Governor Boies would appoint
three good democrats. But the law provides
that candidates foi-ithls ofllco must pass mi
examination of n tcfchulcnl character to show
whether they are qualified for the work of
inspecting mines. Jt requires that eligible
candidates must rajik SO per cent in this ex
amination , mid then the governor. can select
three from the ranks of the eliglbles. The
examination was held the other davand there
were nineteen applicants , republicans and
democrats , and among them the present mine
ins ] > cetors. When the examination was con
cluded nnd the judges had made their report ,
they discovered that only three can
didates had passed tlio examina
tion and were eligible to appointment
and these three were the three republicans
who are the present inspectors. That com-
} > ols Governor Boies to appoint three repub
licans as mine inspectors , nnd Rives him no
choice in the matter. The democrats are very
much chagrined that they haven't a demo
cratic miner who knows enough to bo state
inspector , with u democratic governor long
ing for a chance to appoint one.

A different story comes from Vinton In re
gard to the charges against the superintend
ent of the blind asylum there. The charges
wore made by a young man named Unities.
The authorities at Vinton say that he was ad
mitted to the institution last fall , taking one
or two studios and receiving instruction in
the mechanical department. Ho refused to
obey the rules , and after protracted disobedi
ence ho was finally expelled. They say that
his charges against Superintendent McCuno
nro false , and that any investigation which

to TUB HUB. ] The legislative session Is rap
idly drawing to a close , and the members of
the Twenty-third general assembly will soon
pack their grliw and seek the quiet seclusion
of their homos.
The bill abolishing the deadly ear stove , Is
still further down on the list. The bill cm-

bine lire having things their own way and
have already succeeded in almost doubling
the npproprlntions made by the granger
legislature two years ago.
The lower house is fully as badly demoral
ized ns the senate and spent nearly n whole
session Saturday gravely debating whether
they should pay tltelr employes for Sunday
when no services were performed and ending
the mutter by voting the extra pay.
For the reckless extrnvngnneeQf this legisla
ture the democrats are largely responsible , On
the test questions that were made in the house
only three votes for honesty nnd economy
came from that side while the most reckless
and extravagant appropriations secured as
high as thirty-nine democratic voles.
The number of committee clerks was twice
as largo ns necessary , which may bo charged
to the democrats , who would not agree to a
compromise for a speaker until a son or a
daughter , or some "special friend" was pro
vided for. The extra * . < mill levy was con
tinued for ono year , which will take a round
half million of dollars out of the pockets of
the taxpayers. A good many members will
have some trouble in explaining their con
duct to the thoroughly aroused farmers ,
whoso demands have been disregarded In
matters of the greatest moment.
The legislature was largely dominated by
self-seekers who stood In with the horde of
heelers and strikers who gather on such oc
casions and are intent only on getting their
lingers in tlio public treasury. Unless all
signs fail , a large majority of this legislature
will bo relegated to private life by the indig

Fertile Valley County.
AHCADIA , Nob. , April III. [ Special to Tim
Bii.l : : Seventeen years ago dates the be
ginning of the first actual settlement of Val
ley county , nnd from that time until the
present the record of Valley county bus been
one of unexampled progress nnd prosperity.
The county has been settled by an enterpris
ing , intelligent and thrifty class of people ana
now has a population estimated ut ll,000. !
Vulloy county Is twenty-four miles square ,
containing : > (1SHO ( ( acres of choice fnrmingnnd
grazing lands which nnture has so divided
nnd arranged that every farmer occupying a
rich valley or tableland farm can , at its side
almost , own bluff lands which afford excel
lent pasturage for cattle , and ns the draws
nro filled with artichokes the boas fatten
themselves for market. These bluff lands lire
for sale at very low prices , and while the sur
face , generally speaking , is too rough to plow ,
it possesses tlio richest kind of soil and pio-
dnces luxuriant grass. Thin soil in the bluffs
Is unknown in Valley count } ' , mid wjion land
becomes scarce , and for that reason valuable ,
thousands of acres will bo profitably tilled that
are now considered worthless except for graz
ing purposes , and for Unit purpose the bluff
lands nre known to bo far superior to the
smooth , level lands. Today it is thought
that one-fifth of Valley county is unfit for the
plow , but the broad valley with the shimmer
ing stream in the center , ami the noble ex
panse of table lands produce in such generous
yields that the average for the entire acreage
is better than many whose surface is , as com
pared to Valley county , assmooth as a mirror.
Hero the man from Illinois can raise corn
that will delight him , the settler from Minnesota
seta and Dakota can raise wheat in its most
perfect form nnd in quantities that will as
tonish lain , the cattle king nnd the hog
grower cannot llml a more congenial clime ,
and in fact for all kinds of pastoral industry
Valley county iwssesses attractions that can
not but charm the practical man. H is a
county studded with jewelled commercial
communities of various sixes in the finest
agricultural setting tlio world ever saw.
Prominent among these communities stands
the thriving , bustling , wide-awake little city
of Arcadia. The town itself is of recent
growth , dating its inception only
about flvo years back , but in
that brief time it has forged
rapidly to the front in all that pertains to
solid growth ami wealth and now contains a
population of about seven hundred souls.
Almost all kinds of business have hero a rep
resentative.
The business men of Arcadia are widely
known for their enterprise and energy , and
their intelligence may bo inferred from the
fact that almost universally they are readers
of Tin : XiCB and hence keep abreast of the
times.
Strangers and investors will meet with a
cordial welcome and the proverbial openhanded -
handed hospitality of the true western man
when they come among hero either for
pleasure or with a view to locating.

THEY COULDN'T ' HIT BURDIOK.
Mays Touclicd Up for Four Knim In a
HI n file Inning Another ( iiunn To
day The SloAuIln'e l-'l.stio
Combination.
Life is entirely too short to waste time in
writing up an extended report of yesterday
afternoon's game between the Sioux Cltys
and the home team.
Not that the struggle was not worthy of
more than a passing notice , for It was , but
wo got beautifully whipped , which Is a suf
ficient excuse for brevity.
Despite a rofrigoi-atlvo north wind there
was a good crowd present probably two
thousand in all the majority of whom occu
pied the bleachers.
The Sioux Citys , In their Immaculate white
suits , cut a pretty figure and were generously
cheered when they came on the field. Some
how or other , everybody seemed to think that
Omaha was to bo defeated , so true is the
tendency of human nature to kick a man
when he's down.
The Corn Huskers , too , sc'emed imbued
with this feeling , for they wore plumed and
belted for victory , and althoiiih this was
their lirst game of the season , they went right
in with a vim and a contldciu'c that qnirkty
increased that sense of insecurity that bad
seized the Omaha audience , and a victory
would have been greeted like a capital pri/e
in a lottery.
The Sioux Citys are a fine lot of men big
and strong and gingery-and if they don't
come pretty nearly capturing the flag this
season it will be no fault of theirs.
There are no white feathers in their head
dress.
Burdick and Crossley did the battery work
for the visitoi-i for the lirst live inning , and
they did it in an artistic wiy. : Billy didn't
allow the local athletes to touch him for oven
one little pearly hit. and that was nuts for
him. When he got down to the Barker in
the evening they had to take him in at the bay
window his head utterly barred all thoughts
of entrance at the door.
Sioblo finished tlio game for the lads from
up the river and acquitted himself withal-
most equal credit with Burdick , but two little
tuberuuluted drives huing secured olT him
one by Bays and ono by Andrews.
Bavs ami Thayer were in the points for
Omaha , and they did their work like a well
regulated piece of machinery.
Bays' game was really n line one. The
Corn Huskers only got five hits off him during
the entire game.
But four ot these came in succession in one
inning , and u quartette of runs was the re
sult.
sult.Bays is being tested to the limit and it is
but justice to say that he has done his part as
satisfactorily as any man in the team.
It was the old moss-covered story one ,
two , three for Omaha in the llrst. .
Sioux City did better.
Old Monkey Cllno was the first batter up ,
and down too , for that matter , for ho struck
out.
out.Then Glenn made a safe hit to right and
stole second. Thnycr's bad throw allowed
him to reach third , and Cleveland's error the
plate. This latter blunder also gave Kappell
liratand he , too , purloined second. He got
no further , however , for the big blonde first
baseman struck out andBrosnau retired Irom
Kearns to Andrews.
The second one , two , three for Omaha and
ono , two , three for the visitors.
In the the third , after Thayer had Hied out ,
Brosnan gave Bays a life , but bo was forced
out by Strauss , who was caught napping.
The Corn Huskers' half was likewise un
productive.
The fourth gave Omaha her solitary tally.
Cleveland reached first on four wide ones ,
and on Burdick'ii bad tlnow he went round to
third. Kearns' long fly fell into Genius'
hands , but Cleveland ran home hofoiv the
bail could bo returned. Ilines was quickly
extinguished , but Hanrahan's inexcusable
muff of Andrews' ] x > p-upgavn the hitter his
base. But it was mi use , he got no further.
The visitors then came in nnd quickly ham
mered out a victory. Brosnan , Hnnrahun ,
Genius and Crossley all hit safe , the latter for
three bases , the llrst mentioned trio scoring
of course. Crossley , too , crossed the plate a
moment later on Cllue's well planted sacrifice.
That ended I ho run getting.
The score follows :
