Sioux City Is a great big , eolossul , costno- ginplilcevelopean , multlversant succcts from tin * Garret-son house down lo the tviniian'.s of last yoiu 'n corn palace. They nro the white article , up there , clean to the marrow , and show moio enterprise , get-up and teal genuine American activity tu the squnro inch than anj city to bo found within the shores of the two big herring ponds Talk about jour llvo b.iso ball to ns , well Sioux City has the banner and Is right at thn head of Ihu procession. And last winter they told us thatbaso bull was as dead as Hcrciilumeum up there. But they were off their base. Omaha isn't In it by comparison. On Iho opening day last Tuesday , when old Bore is was bearing down from the north with IIH whiskers full of Icicles , thei turned out 4,1(0 ( paid admissions , and grandstand , bleacheis , the carriageway and quarter stretch weio tested to their fullest capacity. Thu iiinvni- actually Issued a proclamation various d < [ xii.s of tiaftlc , and they did so to a man almost i and thu schools took a half holi day , and a parade , embr.iclui ; a line of carriages several blocks long , headed bv n band , traveisud the principal thoroughfares and nltogethi r the occasion Ivns uiadu a me- morablu one. That's what thu business meiiaru doing for their ball team in Sioux Cil > . The\ know an advertisement when they moot onu faro to face , every time. I saw the irnmo ihcio vosteiday. It was thu opening ono of the llrst series between the Huskeis and Shannon's Lambs. And a supeib contest it was. As cully ns J o'clock a crowd embracing its thousands had assembled at thu attractive park and tliu picturesque effect pioduccd was worth double thu prtcu of adinlsdon. The grounds nro the largesl and finest In ttio Western association , both In and outfields being us smooth and Im iinciilatoas thu bosom ofour best shirt. ' 1 hey are situated within the driving park , a tun-mlnutu dilvu from the Gurrctson , and Ihc scene Is ouu well rule mated to stimulate the fanc > and please the o.ve. f'o the north , stretching 'toutid In a sort of a semlciicle , Is n range of conical bluffs , clad In the softest , brightest gieen , while to the south are groves of swaying cottonw nods and emerald fields of pasturage , which gives thu wholu a pastoral aspect that is soothing indeed , and when Keen under favoring breezes nnd in a jocund May HUnshlne thu thought comes that onu could dwell there nlway and then do but little kicking Manager Danny was thu first of the white- hosed heroes to step up and face Mr. Hail , and n hush fell over the throng while they waited for dovelopmouts. They soon ennie. Ho sent a long ono to hands with delight. Jocko Ilallii'iiu , however , refused to reach for Billy's deceptive convolutions , and tlio result was ho ttolted to first on a proscnl. But it till amounted to nothing , for Old Cy foiccd him at second , nnd the Commodore wont out to Poorman. The Corn Buskers' half , which came first , of course , was a dead ringer for Omaha's. Poorman tiled out to Gnlllu , then She , ho of everlasting youth , got his base on balls , but he couldn t gel an Inch fuither. Nicholson went out to Shannon , and Swatlwood , luut's what they call him up there In Perry crcuk , punched tlnco great ragged icnts in the ethe real. In the second , after the 11 inkers had boenblanliod Griffin fungoed to She , and Walsh's hlfih foul foil into Billy Carlo's ca pacious maw Then Papa Rtiodo to thoplato. "Whoso that ! " cried a kid in the grand Btarnl. "Whoso that ! " retorted Sheriff Magncr , "why that's McCauley , the man who wrote the history of Kngland , and you must keep your eyes on him. " And , as if in response to Sheriff Dave's cloelum , the historian caught the ball about midway between thu belt and thu Jugular and sent It singing "Annln Uoonov" out into left , It was thu initial hit of the gamu and was liberally cheered. Donmilly quickly followed with an out , however , and thu Huskers came In for their third dance. Genius hit a high one out towardU'wIteholl , which , after a hard tun , Larry took care of in elegant style and was loudly cheered. Hart followed with a base on balls , but was Immediately doubled up with Poor- man , Shannon grabbing the hitter's fly by the hind legs , tupping second with his foot and tiringTomnoy out nt first. It was neatly done uud descrvedlv ap plauded Oh , those Sioux City people know how to treat strangers , and you needn't bellovo all you'vo heard about them. Bnt It Is geltlng Into uud I'll confine the balance of this legend to the wnv in which the game was won and lost , leaving the de tails to the leader's imagination. In the sixth inning Twitchull led of with a base on balls , and was quickly followed thlthor by Griflln on four more. Walsh forced Sandy nt second , Twltuhell , of cour.su , moving up another bag , nnd coming homo on Karlo's wild throw to catch Walsh bui'Kling second which also placed Joslo on third. On Don , nelly's hit to Genius , U'nlsh ran in , Charllo making a mesa of It. Donnelly then followed up this good luck by a steal himself , and was sent to third by a wild pitch. Hciu ho an- choicd , however , for Klteljoig tiled to Sho. In the following Inning the HusUcrs got their one little humpbacked run , but they earned it , nnd that's something to Ihcircredlt if they did lose the game After Nick had perished , Swatwood smashed out a beautiful three sacker , and amidst the deafening vociferations of thu crowd , trotted homo on Morilssev's single , and so fur as run gelling was concerned , ihe game was over. The bleachers , In one last wild , weird , spaiiuodif ! elTort to rutriovo the Husiter.s' fortunes , mauo a strenuous effort to rattle Liteljorg in the ninth , but It was lovo'a labor lostThey They could have rattled a hitching post more easily. While glancing over thu score , plcaso don't fall to observe that the Lambs dldn'l miiko an error. Both teams In fact put up n romarkablv clean game ; the pitchers were at their bos't nnd all llio men full of drive and push and plugcr until all hope was squelched bv Van Uyko'i high fly to Twitchcll.

The sentiment was unanl- nous for an early convention and a nnnl light all along the line for victory on election day. t was agreed that the platform should bo broadened by the abandonment of local or state issues , se- that all republicans could land upon it. This means that the prohi bition question will lie so treated that neither 'action on that issue will have cause to dis sent , except , ofcour.se , the fanatics who ere only pleased with their own Ideas.

The strike of the ininorj of this state seems x > bo a bit of folly for which the leaders of ; ho united mine workers' organisation ought to bo censured. There was no grievance among the miners anywhere , and most of them were happily at work. There was little thought of a strike , and the men weio realty given to understand there would bo nono. but on Mav 1 the order was Issued to Iho mombeis or the order to ceasu work , nnd it was generally oboved , not only by the united mine workers , but by others in sym pathy. No demands were made upon the proprietors , and It was nearly a vveoic before the men themselves knew they were striking for Iho cteht hour day , and before any formal eemands were made. If the siriko us continued the ic-.nlt will bo disastrous , Hut it is not lively to continue , ns In many places there are signs of a break and in others the miners have returned to work. The men nnd their families were not jt prepared j for a cessation of work , and appeals to t an uti ; > vmpatliotiu public have failed to bear 1c 1 fruit of a subjtantl.il kind.
