picious ono for the opening of Uio base , ball
season in tills city , nnd three- - thousand people -
plo assembled lit Athletic park to witness the
inauguration gnmo iKitweon Onrihn and Den
ver. In the grand stiuiJ coiilltlenco was ex
pressed In Trendway's batting when the
supposed heavy hitter eanio to the i > lato.
Uut Clark was In the box for Omaha , ami ho
displayed his old ttrao skill In disposing of
Denver's right Ilclder , giving him but ono
safe lilt. This happened In the first Inning ,
when the ball was a trlllo too high for the
Second baseman to capture. In the flfth
inning Trn.idwny sent nn easy ono
to Kenrns nnd went out at first. In the
seventh ho struck out , missing halls that
crowed the plato as slowly nnd deliberately
IH as n supreme court Judge would dally with
nn npi > cal. In the ninth Tremlway retired on
n pop-up fly to right , which eompleted hs |
record for the game , showing that it Is not
alwuy.s unfo to chalh'tigo the attention of the
iiltch'crs , especially wlierc the oceup.int of the
box is a muster hand in controlling the ball.
Boiler fielding has never been witnessed on
the homo grounds BO far us the local nine Is
concerned. Not nsingloorrorwimuade. Itowe ,
Messltt and Whlteheud handled the bases to
good advantage , and AVhilo was equal to his
St. Louis form nt short stop. In the outfield
the old reliable Dnlynnplc was on hand with
n pair of pony legs covering as much ground
as H ten-second sprinter. Hut Curtis was
brilliant. Ills running catch in the ninth de
prived Walsh of a three-baso hit , nnd drew
out from the grand stand and bleachers a'
shout of approvulthat might hnvd burn "heard
lu Golden. It was a line iilcco'of work.
Walsh , the Omaha short fielder , made a line
catch in the foul th * . Dalvrmplo hit the ball
f jr a hqmo runbut the vciio'-inn blonde from
tlo ) Unto City got in front of it like an athlete
and retired tlio side. While both catchers
worn good , Lohlicck deserves special credit

and timely. Henderson as umpire was wholly

1 have not seen the article you refer to ,
bin of course the whole thing is a lie , without

In this ho is mlAtnkon. 1 . am not
sure that ho should at this time of llfo and in
his apparently peculiar mental condition , be
molested in his amusement. The man who
invaded tlio privacy of n family and indulges
in coarse and wtihton attacks on private citi
zens , however , is no better than a highway
man. He places himself on the level of a
blackguard and his vulgarity can have no

boom of Uccown-and of uo mean proportions
cither. Al a mooting of the board of trade
to-night , which was attended by every busi
ness man in the city it was unanimously de
cided to ask the city council to submit a prop
osition to vote $10,0)0 in bonds to build a now
city hall , and as every member of the council
was present and favored the proposition , and
every person present pledged themselves to
work for the proposition , there is
no doubt that a city hall is a
sure thing. It was further unanimously
decided to urge Iho building of n new court
house to cost $100,000. Saunders county at
present bus n c4i-'up ( frame structure for n
court house and it furnishes no protection
whatever in the ovcnt of a lire.to the county
records nnd the question of building a new
court house has been agitated for some time.
It is almost an assured fact.
A proposition of the Novelty Iron Tories of
Iowa to locate here and put up a foundry to
employ thirty men was accepted and the
amount asked guaranteed. An opera house
is a probability also. Wahoo has at last
struck her gait and her boom will exceed any
thing of the kind seen in this part of the
country for years.

IOWA'S ' NEW RAILROAD LAW ,

Unnoticed.
Dns Mot.s-Es , la. , April l7.--tSpechil Tele
gram to Tin : BIK. : ] Quito n sensation Jios
been created by the discovery Unit the only
general railroad law passed by the late legis
lature \vat printed nnd passed with an omis
sion from the original bill. This Is the law
empowering railroads to Ilx Joint rates , and
etniKiwerlng the commissioners to compel
them to do so If they refuse. In the third sec
tion of the original bill It was stated that
"tho rates established by the board of railroad
commissioners shall go Into effect within ten
days after the snmo uro promulgated by said
board , nnd from nnd after that lime the
schedule of such rates shall bo prlma facie
cvidencd In all thocourtsof this state that Urn
rates therein fixwd nro reasonable and Just
maximum rates , " etc But when the bill
cnmo back from the stntu printer all
of the last ten words , quoted were omitted.
The mistake was not noticed by thu author of
the bill : nnd It was rend in full In each house.
The oniisslpn was not noticed , and finally It
was passed mid the governor signed it with
the omission unnoticed.
There is a difference of opinion as to what
effect this omission will have. Some hold ,
thill itipraetieallv invalidates the law ; others
think that It will muko it very hard to enforce
the law , for the railroads will assume that
their own rales uro Just and reasonable , and
will compel the state to show that they are
not.

A .11 L'SEJIISXTS.
Omaha theater gorr ! finally have the pleas
ure of seeing and enjoying Mr. antl Mrs. Ken-
dnl. They inaugurated what promises to be
an unusually brilliant engagement at Boyd's
opera house last night , presenting that very
delightful old comedy , "AScrap of Paper. "
Inasmuch as every spectator was impelled to
purchase his ticket of admission from motives
based more strongly upon curiosity thim any
nnticip.itlon that ho would be so completely
fascinated , entertained , the effect produced
can hardly bo described. Double anxiety
predominated all othiv : lntere < t ( . until the
stars made their nppeuruiiLe. Mr. Kendul
was lii-st to receive the wi'lcome of
an enthusiastic audience , but not
until Mrs. Kcndnl's bright presence
illuminated the .stage did the tension of ex
pectancy break. A hearty round af applause
greeted her. She acknowledged it with such
an cusy grace and winning smile that one
could almost feel the electrifying thrill com
municated to those in front and which in
stantly captured their admiration. . U'hlle wo
have nil appreciated and pniLscd the clever
ness of many American actrcsso. ) it would be
hard to"immo ono' whc e ait equals that
shown by the ch'irming Knglijli woman in
her performance as Kusan Hartley. It was
the moot refreshing , thoroughly natural , per
fectly delightful impersonation of the char
acter ever witnessed on the local sUige. Cold
typo description hardly conveys an "udc.iiunte
undi'i-standiug of Mrs. Kendal'h woi k. To
rcali/o its beauty and .strength you must
sec her. It is. the way in which
she expresses thu sentiment that ac
companied each cxela nation , the coloring
thrown into every sentence , how she handles
her big .sp.irkling eyes t.o full of good nature
and womanly tenderness , her gestures mid
little by-plays , the graceful , quiet manner in
which she uiove& about the st.n ' , that
charms the eve and pleases one's .senses. It
has been said repeatedly that there is no art
like hcr's. The assertion seems to be literally
true. Certainly wo have not had the pleasure
of seeing mrytbing quite .so entertaining hi
Omaha. Except when forced bv comic
artifice combined with ridiculous .situations
to give vent to its feelings , thentlontlou of the
audience seemed to be held by some magic
spell. Mr. Kendiil also created a fnvorahjo
impression. As Colonel Blake he filled the
ideal to perfection , and really took a large
share of the honors. They are supported by
an excellent company. Me. T. N. Wennmn as
Sir John Ingram and Miss Violet Vanbaugh
as Lady Ingrain being especially clever in
their p-irts. Mis. ICemlnl's taste In the mat
ter of dressing was an attractive ( caturo for
the feminine jmrtton of the andienco , consid
ering the fact that the character does not call
for an elaborate display of toilets. Never hius
the Boyd stage been set with such rich furni-
lure and so much attention to detail ;
therefore , as a whole , it was , indeed
an extraordinary entertainment , Inn few *
moments' conversation with Mr , nnd Mrs.
Ken da I after the performance they talked
glowingly of their season mid the crowning
success achieved by th.em everywhere. "I
am hojielessly In love 'with America and its
people , " said Mivf. Kondnl. "Wo were afraid
at first that they would not care for our stvle
of acting , but we soon discovered that it was
just what they liked best. "
"Yes , " interrupted Mr. Komhil , "and wo
are thinking of becoming naturalised on our
next vi < } it nnd adopting this country as our
liome. "
"We find , " continued Mrs. Kendall. "Hint
you quickly oaloh up anything that has the
itamp of honesty on it. You admire excel
lence and are ready to endorse lliings consist
ent with humanity. To mo netlnir In its
effect is like religion , It must touch the soul
as nature Intended. "
No ono can say that in her efforts she over
strains to produce an effect. Every word is
spoken in the ordinary tono'of conversation.

Search fr Health ,
Last night about ( IW I o'ehn-k , after inoutlM
of weary and fruitless seeking for health and
.strength ninonir str.mgora , BUhop O'Connor
returned to this city.
The Pullman sleeper MlmU was placed at
his disposal ut Plttshurg and at 3 til Wednesday -
day morning the train to which It was at
tached pulled out of the depot , H reached
Chicago nt 0 : ! ! 0 Wednesday night , nnd nltout
half an hour la tor was coupled lo the Bur
lington train for this iwlnt.
The news of the bishop's return had preceded -
coded him. Ho WAS mot , accordingly , by sev
eral of the devoted clergymen of lii.s dioooso
at polnt.s along the route. Key. 1J. F Mo-
Carthv of St. Phllomeim'.s , Omaha , and Kov.
J. E. English of Hn.sllnirs , iHtardod the train
nt Creston , In. , while Vlear General ( 'holm ,
Kov. John Jenuette , llov. F. Citsshlv oi
O'Neill and Uov. F. Lynch of Wood Ulvor
mot him at Ked Oak.
At Plattsmouth ho was mot bv another del
egation comprising the following lay and cler
ical gentlemen : Mayor Gushing. John A
Crolghtoii , E. W. Nash , John W. Paul , John
Coad , John O'Kooffo , Frank Hamilton , IM-
Ur. Klnsler , MaoiJ. ] B. Finiiv , Frank Man-
Ion , Key. T. S. Fitzgerald , S. J. . piv-sUh-nt of
Civlghton college , ami Hey. F. Klnsclhi , S
J. , of the same institution.
At the same place several of the bishop's
old acquaintance : ) catered the car and tool ; a
passing view of the prelate before the train
started. Among these were Count v Treas
urer ( Pushing , Joseph Connor and Mr
O'Hourke.
The bishop was attended bv his secretary.
Father Colanori , and a nurse from thu Mercy
hosplt4il at Pittshurg. The former has been
with Bishop O'Connor during Ids long ab
sence in the south In quest of health.
At Chicago Comptroller W. J. Onahan met
the bishon mid accompanied him to this point.
The meeting was at the request of the bishop
a request , however , made some tlmo ago
that Mr. Onahan would accompany him back
to Nebraska regardless of the result or the
illness which had brought him to the edge of
the grave. Last night when the train had
como to a stand In this city Mr. Onahun ,
. baking the bishop by the hand , bade him
good night and feelingly remarked :
"It affords mo joy to see you feeling so well
on your return home. "
The bishop lay upon n raised couch m the
state room of the sleeper. Ills eyes
were closed , his lips were compressed ,
his features were nalo and emaciated.
Ho was the picture of death. Indeed , for u
moment Iwforo taking the prelate's hand Mr.
Onahan thought as if the spark of llfo had
Hiil.
Hiil.At
At the sound of the familiar voice , however -
over , the head turned languidly upon the pll
low. The oyu-i opened slowly and the lips
mrted. The eyts shown with their old time
brilliancy. They alone seemed to have with
stood the attack which has reduced the bishop
to but mioullhuiof Jds former helf. Ho rec
ognized the speaker and feebly thanked him
for his kindness.
All the gentlemen mentioned In turn wel
comed thu bishop home. Knch of ( hem hud
known him for many years , and each was
called by name by the patient as ho acknowl
edged the greeting extended to him.
Dr. V. it. Coirniiin of this city stood by
during the reception. Ho had accompanied
thu bishop from PitLslmrg. Against the lat-
ter's departure the physicians of that city ob
jected , claiming that the patient could not
survive till Chicago was reached. The
Omaha physician differed from them , mid the
trip was undertaken with the result above
monlinaed.
When the train stopped at the B. & M.
depot another delegation of friends shook
hands with the bishop , among whom were
Father Hillnmn , Father Carroll , Father
Glauber , Father Kelley , Thomas Fitzmorris ,
Thomas Swift , Thomas Lowry and Mrs. Dr.
Coffamn.
A number of carriages wore in waiting.
Into ono of these Or. Coffman lifted the
bishop and with him drove to his residence at
Burl and Thirty-sixth streets.
The doctor has hopes that after the reac
tion which Is to be expected today the bishop
