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.
George J. Common , the debonair and pen-
crous sporting caterer of the Corn Pnlaco
burg , said that Omaha won thu gamu bu-

His wont was poor.

Huiriv , N S. , May 10. The latest ad

nro to the effect that more than eighty
schooners had escaped wltn bait to SI. Pierre.
J'ho crows of Ihcso schooners disposed of
their bait all light , but the question was how
hey could get homo again and escape the
aw. Alter much dellberation'in St. Pierre
thirly-ilvo of Ihem determined to risk it , and
accordingly put out tor homo. They were
iccompanled by twenty more schooners
which were not In the bait traflle , but
vvho.se crows sympathised vvllh Ihem. Tlio
Tiono , Lattv Glover and Favorite hopelessly
'ollowi'd. the men on board the schooners
threatening to lire if they were interfered

soon ascertained the strength of the bait pro
tection squndion ns represented by the crews
) f thoTioimaud Lady Glover. They landed
with Iho fixed determination of defvlng

rrcgularsiiund , expecting the oftiecrot the
1'iona and Lady Glover to make Iho first
move , but llio laller , having instructions
of reinforcements by the steamer Con
script , remained passive. The men
could not rcalire what move was con
templated nnd would "
probably "havo pro
ceeded to rioting as a relief to the stale of
scene. They saw lhat they had overwhelm
' ing numbers lo contend with and after some
D.irloy they gave in. Fifty-llvo men were at

A large number of all shades of republic

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

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. Help must
como from the national treasury of the
united mine workers , nlrcnd3- overburdened
by demands of the eastern strikers , or the
Iowa stHko will collapse from sheer exhaus
tion Evidently somebody has blundered in
this matter.
