Yesterday was an Ideal summer day and
Shannon's Lamb * played an Ideal game of
ball.

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

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

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 :

LINCOLNNod. . , April 20. [ 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.

A study of the map demonstrates that nn nlil-

Chicago , HOCK Island & PncilloBysloms would
consummate such connection. In the pres

chnnco would bo as advantageous to It as to
the Baltimore & Ohio All that is required
is the building of Ilfty miles of road between
Beardstown , 111. , and Fort Madison , la. ,
whence the connection with the Kock Island
cah bo completed over nu existing local line
to Ottumwn. It would open au entirely now

cmintv/HMl ihn ntiiva snnn I'linui t.iint Rltvul
was the lucky man. The other fellows nro
now wondering how It nupDcncd.
The blsiuton reservation comprises 000,000
acres In all. 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. As soon ns this
nllottment has boon mndo which is now go
ing on by an agent going from Indian to
Indian and soiling aside the lands In sever
ally which they deslro , and tlio llrst pay
ment of $50,000 : ! has boon mndo to them the * '
lands will bo declared opened to settlement.
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 company J
\ vintn prmnpn.Htm frnniVntnrtmvii north Iii
Fargo. 1 ho lands nro open to pre-emption
under the late law passed by congress re
quiring a boua lido residence of fourteen
months and the payment of $1.2. ) per acre ,
each head at n family being allowed 100 acres.
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. To givn this line laud
for $1.2. > per aero Is ridiculous. It Is worth' *
nt least ? IO if it is worth anything. What
would I do with it In the meanwhile ) Ivoep
the cattle off of Iti No. Lot them kcop ai
much stock ou It as they please the mara
the Bolter. It wouldn't deteriorate the
valuooflt. Just keep it off the market until
thuro was something llko a reasonable demand -
mand for lu. This would have been only
good business sense. As it is nntv laud U a. (
glut on the market. "
Captain Norvlllo was In Plorro ou business
before the laud olllco hero. Ho luul charge
of a casn for the government against 0110
Martin Ncllson. It was proven In this case ,
that Neilsou had been a blacksmith in Picrro
over since his arrival In this country in
ISS'J. 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. Hut , as was , , !
shown in this case , moro often wuru ihoX
hoiiuistoaitors living In town and paying onU
occasional visits to their claims , nbout once n
month. On a Saturday night thrco or four
of those would lo.id a kng of beer into a
wagon , take n uack of cards luul go out and
nnonil Siimlav us MK'lablv mas Dossiblc under
such circumstances. 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. How was information
mation furnished the government that Neil-
sou's ilnal cortlllcata was not Ktraiirht ) By
someouo who for nny reason wished tuolssu-
anco of the patent stopped. It is very often
douo by naonymous letters. Thi * gives tbo
government the clue which is followed up.
