SUREFOOT LOSES THE ENGLISH DERBY , Xlio tta to .lOFnvorlto Kails to Ilcnoli the "Wire In Time to Take Money Sain- fern "WiiiH II. A very Interesting gamn of ball rewarded ilia small crowd who went out to the local | I Kirk yesterday afternoon. Although the homo team lost their playing was masterly , and if they can but take today's fjamo It will not be so bad. jt Contributory to the loss of the game was the very canary umpiring of Blogg. In fact JJlogg had ovldnntly made up his Lillputlnn mind tluvt Omaha should not have the game under any circumstances. Homo of the boys wanted to punch his head for his miserable work of Tuesday , and ho adopted this plan of Betting cvou with them. This wns all nuts for Sum Morton , who sat 1 ack on tlio bench [ and smiled In such a way that n party of German tourists who wore In the grand stand mistook his open inotith for the entrance to the Mammoth cave. Anyway , one of them Inquired If that was 1 ho case , and ho almost swooned when In formed that It was only Morton'o mouth ! As everybody knows when a team has the umpire to fight u well as the opposing nlno it requires the sharpest kind of work to win. Omaha wasn't equal to the effort yesterday , nnd , and if Colonel Blogg is go'ng ' to ollleiato ngnln thfs afternoon Captain Andrews might us well wrap the gnmo up nicely and give it to Mr. Morton in advance. The game opened up in 11 lively way. and the audience settled themselves for u lively and stubborn contest. Lengthy Mitchell , after several wide balls , pave Canavnn the one he wai waiting for and lie sent it whizzing out into left. Walsh's out from pitch to tlrst boosted him to second , nnd on a bad throw by Dngdalo he trotted round to third. Then ICcnrna Hew out to Foster , but Phalcn made a lilt and Jimmy scored. On Cleveland's grounder Phalcn was forced at second. However , one run was better than none. But Morton's men were not to be outdone , no Carroll , too , led off with a hit. Then Fos ter went out from Can a van to Andrews , and the Minneapolis captain stole second. Mln- jieban then swatted the bull for three sacks , und Carroll ran home , where ho was quickly followed by Minnchan on Kyu's single. Jlonglo succumbed to Cannvtm. but O'Day was given his base on balls. Ho was left , though , along with Hyn on Mitchell's out to Vrqiiahart. The score wits speedily tied. Andrews stopped to the plate , nnd catching the Ilrst ball pitched ] u. t right , ho sent it for three busjs w.iy out near the carriage gate. ] f some 0110 could only have shoveled in an other bucket of coal U'nlly would have got liomo on it. As it was , however , ho crossed the platen moment later on Willis'safe one. Q'hen followed a singular sequence of plays. Moran forced Willis ntsecond , Urqimhart did n lilto service for Moran , and Cauavan did the same for Urquahart. But it was horse and. and the spectators were fairly well satlslied. Minneapolis' half was a heart searcher , mid what looked Immensely like a Imshel of runs , resulted in a great big healthy goose egg. egg.And this ia how it was dono. Old Farmer Miller took his base on four wide ones. Dugdalo and Carroll followed with singles , uuu the bases were full aud no one out. But Willis fooled Blogg. Ho did not allow liim un opportunity to clinch the game for Minneapolis Ju > t yet. Foster fouled out to Clevelandand on Mln- jiohun's hit to Willis , the farmer was caught nt the plate , and then Uyim was tossed out at lirst by Willis , also. Now that was great , wasn't it ! The third was a blank for both teams. Walsh was thrown out at Ilrst by O'Dny , Minnohan attended to Keanis , und Phulen died at lirst. For the Minnies , Carroll and O'Day hit safe , Mitchell struck out and O'Day nnrt Miller were doubled up on the hitter's hit to Walsh , who touched second and then threw to Ilrst In less time than it takes you to bay scat. Sharp fielding all round , oh ? Tim fourth was passed without a feature worthy of note , but in .tho ilfth Omaha took the lead. After Moran had filed out to Minnchan Ur- ininlmrt made a lucky three sucker to right , Bcorlng on a bad throw by Dngdulo , who caught Uftj off his base. Cunavun then followed with his second safe hit , but was forced at second by Walsh. Kcurns also made a hit , but ended the inning by being thrown out at second. No more scoring was done until the seventh Inning , when four runs eumo in , and moro's the pity , every one of them went to Minnea polis' credit. Urquahurt gave the calamity a good deal of momentum by inufllng Dug- tlulo's fly , then Carroll and Foster made three buggers and it was Kitty bar the door , so fur us Onmhuwus concerned. Minnchan llniilly Hew out to Phnlcn , but Ryu mid Ilengle cutno along with hits for two bags each. O'Day then sent ono to ICearns , nnd on Mitchell's grounder Henglo was caught at third. But all the ginger had been incontinently knocked out or the Black Sox , and they fell easy victims in the eighth and ninth. And thin loft the score just 0 to ! i in favor of Blogg , nnd his aides from Minneapolis. The sumo teams will try It again this after noon. , The score : OMAHA. All. It. 111. Sll. Sll. FO. A. K.

An answer to this question would bo of interest , but it has never been answered. For several years I have been gathering information upon which to base an estimate. Publishers have uniformly extended mo every courtesy ; nevertheless , I find it an ex ceedingly diflicnlt quantity to urrivo at , and for my llguros 1 do not claim abso lute accuracy. Publishers in this coun- trv annually expend something like the following sums for news : For press despatches $ 1,820,000 For special despatches 2,250,000 For local news 12,500,000 Total $10,570,000 , The business of tlio Associated press , a mutual concern which pays nothing for its newa and which serves its patrons at approximate cost , amounts to 81,250- 000 per annum ; and that of the United press , a stock corporation , is $450,000 per annum.
