Yesterday was an Ideal summer day and Shannon's Lamb * played an Ideal game of ball. ball.Dut Dut wouldn't It bo nearer the proper thing to call tlinm Shannon's Rams ) They nro so Mmbunctloun , ycu know. The attendance was the Inrgoit of the sea son , being somewhat In the vicinity of four thousand souls , nnd n hnpplnr nnd mt > ro do- inonstrntlvo coneourso roll never s nw. They Just rose on their hind legs and roared. It didn't ' make much difference what the play was , or who made It , it was all ttio same , they yelled nny way. Hut it Is n healthy excitement , isn't III Anil a sura euro for dyspepsia. There was n big delegation of badge-bo- decked Sioux Cltyans down , but they had but Httia can 10 for enthusiasm. Their pots fell such an easy prey. Heard that George J. Common , Tom Uoyer. IMIly Humphrey , J. Fulton Peavey , .lay Gould Hrooits , Willlo Buck , Charllo Bry- nntnndJim Hoogo started homo lust ulght per pcdo ! ) npoatolorum. But I don't ' bcliovo it. it.They'd They'd swim first. Oh , yes the game. The Commodore , ns a beginning , sent an nltttndlnous lly to Count Morrissey anil thn Sioux yelped as the Count closed his shovel plows upon It. JOCKO Hnlllgnn , who has hid eye with him , lined out n chrysanthemum to loft , nnd "Old Cy" tried to sacrifice , but Van Oyko was too foxy for him. and the Uuftalonlan didn't dare venture jfrom first. McCauIo.v's bit , however - over , advanced him theru anil by good sprint ing ho stole third. But ho anchored there , for after Grlfiln got his ba.su on balls , Shannon drove u grounder to SchclbucK and Snndy u'.n forced at ECCOIld. That didn't tlcklo the mob n bit. But the Corn Huskcr.i couldn't do that well. Tommy 1'oorman , who carried the hod for Cheeps , 2170 , B. C. , got his base on four wldo ones , but ou attempting to run down to second end on "Old Cy , " of course ho lost his life. And Herodotus snld that Tommy was a sprinter. Schcibeck , yclept She for short , was fresh nnd friskv as n four-year-old , but his biceps had a kink In 'em , and although hosmoto the ball with nil his might nnd main. It only wont ns far as tbo pitcher , nnd ho perished at llrst. Nicholson also went to llrst on balls , but Jnkoy Strnuss , who has developed Into n reg ular cnllopu since Omaha llml htm , put ii down to Walsh and \Valsb cut Nick off at ECCOIld. Aunt wna ( jiviiiK "iu iiusiiurs us goou us they sent. n wns some more of the snmo In the second for the Lambs. Walsh was thrown out nt llrst by Nick. Donnelly mndo n nlnglo , but was caught In nn alto unit to tmrglo second , and Eitoljorg popped up a high one to the Count. In their half the Huskcrs made the initial run , but It should have been another egg-flip. Little Tpmmy Morrissey sent a long 0110 to Halllgau , nnd Uultlgnn elicited a salvo of nn- plauso by n very brilliant catch. Billy Earlo wns thrown out at first by Manager Danny , nud the crowd was satisfied. But tliero was nn immediate transformation scene. , for Shan non allowed Van Dyke's easy ono to cot away from him , and Charles Genius laced her out for a triple. The delegation from up the river behaved ' 'shamelessly. ' You'd a thought wo weren't In 'it. They got up in n body aud waved their .last summer's hats and whooped nnd yelled add hallooed Just like a lot of delegates nt a democratic convention , nnd all this time Mr. Gonlns was scampering nround the Hues like n Jack rabbit with Dan Honln aud Ilarvoy McGrow behind it. But they suddenly ceased their unwonted lumultuurmess. Mr. Genius made a miscalculation. Ho thought his hit was good for four bases , but the Lambs got that ball back where It be longed In the very highest stvlo of the art. From Twltcholl to Walsh nnd from Walsh to Eiteljorg and from Elteljorg to Old Cy nnd Mr Gcnlns was caught at the pinto. _ Wasn't that Immense all 'roundi Only ball plaving though. In the third Omaha tied the score , but the Huskers Immediately untied Itngalu , though. and plugged up the holes with n couple of This It iho way Omaha i.ut hers. \ The Commodore was sent to.lirst on balls , nnd In endeavoring to sknto clear round to third on Hnlllguu's second safe ono ho was put out. Hnlligan stele second. Sutcilffo fouled out to Gonlns , but Grilllu hit snfo and Jocko scored. Sandy was forced nt second by Manager Dan for the second time in suc cession. Then the Corn Huskers had their feast. " Dewnhlsot things in motion by getting to first on n fumbloby Walsh that was ducldcdly chlaxoscuro. Then Poormnn , the mythologi cal reminiscence , smashed out ouo to center , with a moustache nnd goatee on it. Scholbcck's well placed sacritlco advanced both runners , and Nick being thwacked in the back with the ball tuo bags were nil occupied. The grent crowd began to porsplro and when Klteljorg also essayed to bore a hole through Jnko.v Strnuss they fairly wnllnd in agony , for Iho attomp * forced Dowald nome. Morrlssoy forced Strauss at second and on Earlo's drive to Shannon Nick was knocked out at the phHo. But the wolcht of woo which wns bearing the crowd down was lifted in the next inning with the most pleasing alacrity. After Walsh had tiled to Van Dyke reliable Jimmy Donnelly brought her up against tbo loft Held fence for a pair , nml on Strauss' wild throw in ho readied third , nnd the 4,000 yelled hey I hovl hey 1 And when Kttcljorg got his base on four balls the uproar bccamo moro uproalous. Twltchell's out from pitch to ilrst fell llko ono Vast wet blanket ever the park nud slleneo , deep nud solomncholy , roigned. Hut it only reigned a moment , for Hulllgnn corked her safuror the third , time , nnd tiotb runners scurried across the oyster. And imiybo those delighted pcoplo didn't fill the slumberous air with harmony about this time ? Well , I guess yes. Aud when "Old Cy" swatted out a couple of bags nnd sent Jack in after Jimmy nnd Kddlo thuy kept on illllug it until you could hardly hear yourself think. The boys nro all Jimmies aud Eddies and Larries and Dannies and Joslos when they re winning , but how quick they are mota- luorphosod into rosettes when they once begin to loso. Have you noticed III Tnera was u. funny Incident connected with this last hit of "Old Cy's" ' which Is worthy ofnoto. Norman Baker was lying out nuar the loft Held carriages with his uow pointer , and when Sut's hit came bounding that way ml among the vehicles Normuu told tlio dog to "go fetch'1 anil ho sprang away , and Just as Van Dyke was about to irrnb the sphere tbftdoK did It for him aud ran back to Norm an witji it. Bofora Van could recover it Halllgan was ou the bunch and Cy perched on second. Well , there Is little Inducement to stretch this foinnnco out much further. Suftlco it to ay , the Sioux City delegation nuk through the grand stand at this Juncture , aud thu Lambs simply Jogged thn rest of the chase out. In the lUlu Sandy Griffin sent tbo boll over right field fcnco for a homer , end In the eighth Ilulllsau re posted the trick , although hb hit didn't go out of the lot. Anil io the game ended 0 to II , Jilleljorg , uarrltig bhi wlhineas , pitched a strocR came , but Dowalrt was weak and vul nerable fr/in iho start.

Sunday Grounds Jcdlcatol by St. Paul. Nob. , April 2 ( ) . [ Special Telegram - gram to THE Biu. : ] Once raoro the Farm ers1 Altlaricabaso ball aggregation succumbed to the prowess of the gigantic Apostles. The gnmo was lost by the Little Lincolnlans on account of Burkcttand u hole in the fence. It was an off dav for Bttritott. nnd the .snoo- tatow wcro inclined to sympathize with the lad , rather than condemn htm. During the tlr.nt four innings ho was In the box and the Apostles batted him nil ever the Held. Ho wits retired to loft , and llttlo Darnbrough put In his place. In iho loft Held Burkott did as badly as In tbo bux , nnd in u ( Ted two ( lies , each giving n tally to St. Paul. Still the wltnossot of the game do not bo- llevo In making a scapegoat of Burkett , but instead criticize the weakness of the local nine at the bat. Everywhere else the Farm * ers averaged up well with the heavy-weights who competed with thorn. Monk Clluo and Captain Irwin nindo the only scores. But scvuu geese eggs stood between - tween each lolly. Lincoln started In as n winner. Cllno wns the llrst man at tbo bat. Ho got llrst on balls , stele sccoirj. and Kovmoud louoweu sun. .men itowa knocked the sphere out of reuch of the Holders nnu Cllnc came In. The crowd then iiroso en mus.su aud elmered. But before the applause had fairly died awav three men were out. Thho Apostles were not in it up to the last half of the third liming , nnd the crowd felt enthusiastic. Then Hamburg , to whom the spectators gave the surname of "steau" , gave Iho sphere u tremendous hit , that sent It squarely ttiroiich a hole nt the base of the fence ; in the left field. The ball never was found and Hamburg made a homo run. Dave Howe is looking for Meokln came to bat after Hamburg and tried to knock the ball through the snmo bole. Ho cnmo so near following suit that ho made third base before the ball had got back in the diamond again. O'Hourke wns struck out. Abbey mndo a base hit. Then Baldwin gnvo the ball a belt that sent It Hying to the proper place in the left Held. Nobody was there to stop the young meteor , and before it got Dack to the infield Meokln and Abbey had scored. The two next men went out , but the crowd after that lost its cntuusmsm. Captain Irwin looked serious and told Burkett to go to loft ( ioldjnnd installed Dann- brough in tin box. But bad luck followed BurkoU to the left Held and the SalnU found that quarter a most excellent place to send the ball. Two consecutive lllos were muffed by Burkott in the eighth Inning and the re sult was that O'Brien and Coiiloy scored , each talloy representing a muff. This mndo llvo scores that had been made off of Bur- kett's pitching aud Holding. The other run wns made by Hamburg , who llrst made a base hit and was lot In by u fly to center Held struck by Mcoklu. In thu first half of the inning Irwin made a base hit , Tomnoy wns given his base on balls , Wilson mndo n two-baggpj and Irwin camu in. But there tbo score malting stopped. But despite recent reverses the Lincoln base ball enthusiasts bcliovo that In time tbo local team will como to the front. No legal hindrances were put in the wny on account of the game being played on Sun day. The score : I.I.NTOI..V ST. PAUL.

[ Special Tele gram to TiinBuB.J A ; strenuous effort.was made this afternoon by a number of Lincoln citizens who favor a strict observance of the Sabbath to arrest the base ball 'players and deter them from any operations on the dia mond. Tlio grounds for the Sunday games r.ro oulsldo the city .limits and consequently not within the Jurisdiction of tbo city police. Therefore the county tifllcors were appealed to. Over n dozen persons applied to County Jndgo Stewart for warrants to arrest the ball players , but his honor steadfastly re fused to Issue any warrants , because ho In sisted the offcnso was not Sabbath labor nnd was not sporting cither , as no betting was done. He therefore declared it was outside the palo of the statutes. The Judge , however , said that ho wou'd ' listen tomorrow to-any briefs that might bo presented to him for his enlightenment.

There is an IntiiroMIng bit of political gossip In connection with Mr. Klrod's appointment , The Job it qulto n good one , and for handing out the llrst In stallment ho h paid the neat little sum of $3,000itla cxpoctod that it will take nbout ninety days' time. It wns supposed nil along that Colonel .lolloy of Clay county was to bo appointed. In fact ho was endorsed by the state's two senators and two representatives , the cntlro Washington delegation. Colonel Jolloy Is also one of the ucr.V bwt men In the state nnd n consistent republican. As ho luul never received any political ulums It was not niuvasonablo to suppose that ho would ivi-elvo this appointment , consldorlnu his backing.

It Is estimated that thu nllott- inont to the Indians will tnko nbout U00,000 acres oacli adult bulug entitled to IliO acres , and minors SO acres each.

It Is understood Unit thu secretary of the In- - terlor expects this to bo nbout July 1 , Com missioner of Indian Affairs Morgan lias written that ho thinks it will taku about six months. As Is generally thu case when these reser vations are thrown open to settlement , there Is an anxious throng waiting ou the outskirts to rush In nnd get their llrst pick of the lauds. Captain Norvillo , special agent of the interior department , wns In Pierre today nnd reports that there nro thousands of thcso pcoplo camped out waiting opposite the cholco sections where there nro lakes nud water courses. The Great Northern railroad company also has n lot of paid boomers who nro to rush In nud sccu.ro lauds for n strin through the reservation north.

This opens the whole subject of this stato1 publlu lands. Captain Norvlllo , before alluded - ludod to , In a , conversation said : 1Tho pee pie of this country do not appreciate what they have In thee public lauds. Instead of throwing open the JW.OOO.OIK ) acres of the great Sioux reservation , it ought to hnvo beun set usido for at least ton years and' then by that time something ( if its worth would begin to bo realized.

Ho came with a colony from Waterloo , la. , under tno direction of 0110 Carson. Car son located the members of tlo ) colony around through this country whcrover ho could Uriel vacant land. It came handy for different 1 members of this colony to swear to the. time J of residence for each other.

This was n common way o { bomesloadlug and as long as It con- ' dieted with nobody's Interests except Undo Snm'.s nobody said anything. But woe to such n hnme.str.i.lor If somebody else had his eye on his claim. The evidence in Ncllson's case showed only ton conclusively that ho had not compiled with the law.Vhllo Cap tain Norvillo said he would bu glad to see the fellow get. his land ho was a sworn ofllcer o ( the government and compelled to sco that Its laws were complied with.
