ttit1 } season , aiu
that Is all they havi
played ; but as base
ball putrons havi
bud unok'Kunt sufU
clcnuy of the Cow
boys during the pas
four or live days , they will certainly overlool
nn uurevlatod report of their last nppoaranct
hero. No team ever fought harder than the ;
did to como out on top in the llnal slrugclo
but It was down in the books , and again thoj
were compelled to succumb.
They started out bravely enough nut
looked llko sure winners , but that was while
tlio Ooinhns were roiling up their slcovoi
and picking out tliclr beat clubs preparatory
to knocking out the game a llulo later on ,
which they did after the most approved
fashion as ttio ncoro attests.
This afternoon the Llncotns will bo hero ,
and as they tiuvo proved the Lambs' only
'
Rlurnbllng'block this season , the cranks can
bo prepared to shed a bucketful of brine
However , a victory or dofeut jdst now cuts
no ilguro so far us the Omaha club is con
cerned , for if all stories hold true it will be
disbanded Sunday evening , nnd another ton
days will see the Lambs widely separated.
Of course this Is a sovuro blow to the local
cranks , and a severer ono to Omaha , but U
can't bo hclpcu. llusincss men who should
have responded long ere this and devised
ways and mettns of keeping the great team
here have remained utterly passive , and no
stranger lias turned up willing1 to jeopardize
two or three thousand for the purpose ol
Keeping thu outsldo world apprised that
there Is still such a place on the maps as the
city of Omaha.
The Omaha team today is-tho Ilnest that over
represented a Western association city , and
with the bright prospects of playing oft the
world's series with the winners of the Nit-
tional league pennant in October it would be
a paying "Investment for any enterprising ,
intelligent , bustling capitalist , or any num
ber of auch who might sco proper to take hold
of it.
But it now appears to bo too late , so it will
bo advisable for all those who wish to sea a
little more of thu grout national sport to turn
out today , tomorrow anil Sunday as those
three games end the team's existence hero.

LINCOLN , Nob. , July 0. [ Special telo < rram
lo TIIK BKI : . ] Lincoln Is becoming distln-
gufslieir"for breaking uway from the old
fashioned iiliio-tnulng game and putting up a
game that lasts until sunset. Tbo usual rule
was followed today , and a ioninninggamo
was played before the Farmers convinced the
Mountaineers of their superiority. Lincoln
led from the start , making four scores in the
llrst liming , Ih rough Iho aid of a wild throw
by Denver's shortstop. At the end
of Iho seventh inning the score stood I ! to 4 in
favor of the Farmers , but the Denver boys
managed to tlo thu rcoro in the ninth inning
by Gilllland knocking a tly away above
Cllno's head and letting Breniinu In. When
the agriculturists cnmo in in the tenth Inning
Head Farmer Dave Uowo sent the bull ever
in thu dog fennel along the banks of the
rushing Antelope , and meanwhile found lime
lo cut a swath as far as tnlnl base. Farmer
Flammcan then took the Hail and pounded
out two bags and sent Dave homo. O'Day
followed the example of his alllaneo brothers
and helped Flannagan over Iho nome plate.
The Mountaineers could not work a similar
combination In the last half of the tenth and
retired defeated. Score :

has been witnessed In this city since the days
of old Western lenguo games , The audience
was a wild and woolly ono , and 11 required
the united efforts of three policemen to keep
tbo frantic crowd from surging In on the

Lrxcoi.x , Neb. , July 9 , To the Editor of
Tun Ben ; William Walter , who was men
tioned in yesterday's Bin ; as supposed to
have been on the train which was wrecked
at Ravenna , O. , had been to Neola , la. , on
business for his firm , the Parker commission
company of New York. Ho loft Council
Bluffs on the 2nd , and was therefore on the
eastbound passenger and must have passed
through Ravenna at least one hour before the
wreck. His not telegraphing promptly to
his friends signifies nothing , as ho bad busi
ness at the salt mines at Warsaw , N. Y. ,
which has undoubtedly detained him. I
think ho is at Trenton , N. J.

of the llrst trains which leave the city in the

special.
For Instance , the B , & M. ( Iyer from Chicago
cage to Denver roacaes the southwestern
part of the state earlier than any other train.
uut it does not pass through Omaha. I *
iloes not como within 21 miles of this city.
J'tir BEU therefore meets that very important
train at Plntts-mouth. It does so with a
ipecial train. This special leaves
Omaha nt ! J o'clock in the morning.
it is loaded with BKK'K. There nro thou

CIIICAOO , July O. There seems to bo HUIi
doubt that the conference of western man
agor.s next Saturday will result lu n settlement
mont of the dispute between the Alton am
Chairman Fmluy of the Western I'asscugoi
association. The Alton will not recede fron
Us position , but It U expected that thn othoi
roads will recede from-tholM In enter to pre
vent a disruption of the agreement. Thcj
will probably go even further and take the
sldo of the Alton in its light with tno eastern
linos. They have all grown very tlrod of the
pnucni state of affairs and are beginning to
ask themselves why they should encourage r
boycott that. Is doiug them moro harm than
tbo company boycotted.
The agreement with the board of ruling ;
to maintain n neutral position nnd rofruli
from paying commissions in eastecn tcrrltorv
was conditional to their being protected ir
that pasitioti. It is now argued that thoj
have not received the promised protection
and that the board of rulings Is powerless u
carry out Us part of the agreement. Further
more they contend that the trunk lines have
acted unfairly in singling out tbo Alton road
as the only ono to bo punished when they
have Just as much reason to boycott the New
England roads , which refused to join them
In their crusade against commission
paying. Should iho western roads desire tc
resume the payment of commissions nnd it is
generally believed that they will , the eastern
lines will ba loft without 'tho shadow of an
excuse for continuing the boycott apnlnst the
Alton unless they extend it to their western
connections.

ST. PAUL , Mirm. , "July < ) . Tbo case of the
United Suites vs.President J. M. Egan ot al
of the Kansas City railroad , charged with
violating the inter'atato commerce law , was
dismissed by Jiifl u Thayer this morning ,
that onlcial instructing the clerk to draw up
a verdict of not guilty on which he requested
the foreman of the Jury to attach his name.
Judge Thayer , , after reciting the facts in
the case , says : ' 'As the published schedule of
rates did not specify what was meant by flrst
class limited tlcketDand as the commission
did not see lit , when the schedule was tiled ,
to require tbo company to explain what was
meautorwhat privjileges the holder would
bo entitled to , * no case has been
inado out in my opinion entitling
the government to go to the jury. The ovi-
deiieoJiHiiy Judgment would not support a
conviction on olthec.uount of the indictment.
Tbo railway compan/ln question advertised
to.sell limited first-class tick"ts from St. Paul
to Chicaco for ? 7..The defendants have sold
tickets between these point ) for ST which
wore In fact limited as to privileges , by re
quiring a continuous jourr.ey , if the railroad
company elected to force that requirement.
It may have becu in this sense that the term
( limited ) was used in the published schedules
tiled with the commission and them is not
sufllclent evidences that it was not used.
The dilllculty encountered in this case could
probably bo romediod. by requiring com-
panics when they tile rate schedules to
specify clearly what is meant by the term
"limited tickets" Instead of leaving railroad
companies to nut their construction on the
term and the public tp speculate as to its ,
moaning. The jury jvill b instructed to
acquit the defendant ! on all counts of the
indictment. "

Losnox , July 9. Thu ompororof Germany
nroso early this morning. After tailing c
canter in Rotten How ho returned to Buck
ingham palaoo whore , lu company with the
empress , no received deputations from the
various Gorman social and benevolent
societies of London anil the diplomatic corps.
Tn n speech the emperor said that ho had
been much impressed with tlio accounts be
had received of tlio desolation caused by the
slave dealers , "given mo. . " ho remarked , "by
Major Von Wlssmann , who told mo that
there wore districts in South Africa through
whlth bo had passed in which ho found that
prosperous , densely populated villages had
entirely disappeared when ho rbturnod two
hours later , the slave hunter not having lelt
u man alive thoro. I am glad that it fell to
the united fleets of Germany and England ,
acting in unison , to bo successful in chcclting
the export of slaves. "
During the afternoon the emperor made
his second appoar.mcij on Rotten How. This
time ho was dressed In the uniform of a-
Prussiati general. The emperor was mounted
upon ono of his own horse. * ( brought from
Germany with n number of others ) and was
attended by an aide-de-camp. There were
crowds of fashionable people present on the
row about that time and from them the em
peror received general salutation.
Later In tbo afternoon the prince and prin
cess of Wales gave a garden party at Marlborough -
borough house , their London residence. In
honor of the emperor nnd empress of Ger
many. The weather was delightful. The
sun shone upon tbo scene just warm , enough
to make every body foci comfortable In thoox-
tremo. The result was that the carefully
tended and arist ocratically trimmed gardens
of Mariborough house were for the occasion
transformed into a brilliant , tasteful encamp
ment of fashion , the smooth , soft lawns being
decorated bore uud there with pretty tents
mid handsome mill-queues , while wandering ,
chattingundiaughingiii tboplcasautnooks , in
shady arbor. } and umong brilliant flower beds
and splashing fountains wore tnoso fortunate
individuals who compose the crcmo do la
cremo of British and German aristocracy
Harcly , if ever , have these beautiful gar
dens been crowded with such tin assemblage
of German uniforms as were there gathered
today , mingling pleasantly with uniforms
representing every branch of the British
service , to say nothing of thu goriroous for
eign diplomats. Thu band of the British
grenadier guards and that of the Prussian
royal guards ( sent to England ou purpose )
played the Ilnest selections from the eminent
Cornan composers , principally Wagneriau
pieces , however. "
The emperor and mpross of Germany ar
rived at Marlborouch house at about ! J o'cloclt
and Queen Victoria entered the grouuds
shortly afterwards. A strong force ot police
kept the general public from crowding too
freely about the Immediate neighborhood ot
St. James palace , opposite Marlborough
house itself and principally abbut the hall.
But tins did not prevent tens of thousands of
people from crowding about thosu places ,
nor did it drive thuin away from St. James
p.irk , whore the curious gathered in the
hopes of seeing the great people arrive from
Buckingham palace down the Mali to Mai-
borough house.
Among the royal or princely personages
who hail reached Marl borough house
previous to the arrival of their
imperial majesties were the duke and ductless
of Anhalt , Princess Alexandria of Aul.nlt ,
the duku and duchess of EiUubucc. tbo duke
and duchess of Connaught , Prince and
Princess Christina ot Schluswig-Holstein ,

tlio grand duke and grand duchess of Meek-

tlolstoln and many other equally distin
guished people.
In addition tnoru were present the whole
of thu diplomatic corps uud manv distiu-
Tiilsned army and navy oflleors , cabinet miu-
.stcrs and others. Naturally there was a

Col. MuCluro Says Ills Ignorance Is
Only Initialed hy Ills Arro aiiiM ) .
Pitii.uiEi'.i'itiA , July 8. Colonel McClure
will huvo an editorial In thu Times tomorrow
which will say that thu Ignorance exhibited
by John G. NIcolay In Ills public tclogr.Ym to
tbo widow of ox-Vice President H.unlln h
equaled only by bis nrrogauco In assuming to
speak for Abraham Lincoln in mutter * about
which NIcolay was never consulted and of
which ho bad no moro Knowledge than any
other clerk about the white house. Colonel
McClure states that bo ( McClure ) was called
to the inner councils ofibr.ilinni Lincoln
mid scores of confidential conferences of
which Nicolay ribver hoard and nt which none
of those in attendance over saw NIcolay
present. NIcolay , ho says , was utterly in-
Bfllciont us thu president's private sucrotary
nnd It was only Lincoln's proverbial kind
ness that saved Him from dismissal. Ho
( NIcolay ) saw and knew President , Lincoln.
I'lio man -Abraham Lincoln --ho never saw
and never knew and ho had ao kutnvleugu uf
Lincoln's private llfo nnd private political
secrets. His assumption to speak author-
Itntlvcly of Lincoln's confidential convictions
would have boon i.-on.sldera 1 grotesque n
quarter of n conturv ago.
Colonel MeCturu repeats that In obedience
to n telegraphic request from Mr. Lincoln
ho visited the president nt the
whitn house the duv before too
Brtltlmoro convention of ISIVI. At that
Interview Mr. Lincoln earnestly explained
why the humiliation of a well known south
ern man llko Andrew Johnson would notonlv
nationalize the republican party and the vov-
eminent but would greatly lessen the grnvo
peril of the recognition of the confederacy bv
England and Franco. Ho believed thai * the
election to the vice presidency of a repre
sentative statesman Irnm an Insurgent state
that had been ivstorud to the union would
disarm the enemies of the republic abroad
and remove the load of sectionalism from the
government that scorned to greatly hinder
peace.
In conclusion Col Mct'luro says : "No In.
timallon , no trace of prejudice' against Mr.
Hamlln was exhibited , and I well It now Unit
no such consideration could have liilluencud
Mr. Lincoln in such nn emergency. Had ho
believed Mr. Ilnnilln to bo tbo mnii who
could best promote the great work whose
direction fell solely upon himself he would
have favored Ilamliii's renomluatioii regard-
ICHS of hLs personal wishes , but ho bollovod
that a great public achievement would bo at
tained by the election of Johnson , and I re
turned to Baltlmoro to work for Johnson
although against all my personal prcdlllc-
tlon In the matter. "
General Vitniln'n | : Theory.
LINCOLNNob. . , July 8. To the Editor of
TIIKBIK : : The fact that the water In the
Colorado desert Is still on the rlso while the
water in the Colorado river is falling , loaves
OHO to conclude that the former action is in
dependent of the latter ; and that the waters
accumulating in the desert must bo nu Influx
from the Gulf of California , duo to some sub-
torunenn volcanic action , which accounts ,
perhaps , for iho "unusual Intense heat pre
vailing In that region just now.
It is to bo presumed In case the water keeps
rising in the desert that one or the other of
thu great now.spapers of the country will soon
rocounoitor the situation ever there , if the
government does not. It surely is a phenom
enon worthy of close study , inasmuch as the
inland sea which is now forinlnir thoi-u will
reclaim a vast expanse of territory that but
a few days ago and for centuries was a bar
ren desert , arid as the African Sahara.
If the physical change that is taking place
over there is duo to the waters of the Gulf of
California , it will as you well say in nn edi
torial reference ou the subject , correct an
error made by the American plenipotentiaries
of thoGuadaloop-Hidalgotreatyof lS48in as
much IH the head of the gulf will liud itself
in the United States instead of in Mexico.
Wo will thus have a Pacific Chesapeake as
well a < an Atlantic ono , but on a much larger
scale ; and who knows but what a Pacillc
Baltimore will site there whore heretofore
nothing but cactus and prickly pears grew ?
Evidently if this wore to Happen , if the gulf
hasMndeed extended in the United States ,
the Americans would soon have u port at the
head of navigation Irom which American
shipping would work wonders in that part of
the world and sway the destiny of the Mo.x-
ican California in such a way Indeed as would
of nccesoity make that region part and portion
tion of the United States soon after our
civilization invades its shores with our com-
incrro ; the political change would follow the
physical change.
It is to bo hoped indeed that you uro right
In your surmise as regards "tho correction of
the mistake in the treaty of 18 IS. " Nature
is the greatest diplomat after all.

NKW YOUK , Juno U. An organized baud
of ctii'ck passers , with n beautiful girl to loud
them , is thu problem that the detectives of
the Pennsylvania r.illro.iil and the dulcetvo !
force of Jersey City nro wrestling with , 11
Is the custom of the Pennsylvania railroad to
pay Its employes on the Now York division
with cheeks drawn oil the Hudson County
National bunk. l-Vr many years these prom
ises to pay have boon regarded as legal ten
der In Jersey ( . 'Ity and h.ivu baoii accepted
without question by the saloon leopurs and
merchants in the vicinity of iho ferry.
Thousands of them were cashed every month
and until this week no question about their
genuineness has over been raised , The men
that have boon engaged in ilo.uing the bogus
paper wcro evidently thoroughly posted on
the situation and must have had the real
checks of the railroad company In their pos
session for months to make tlio counterfoils.
Quo of the clews the detectives nro working
OH is by moans of the company's check stubs.
They propose to trace out every person that
has received a check from the corporation
and who has to have It cashed.
Charles Cannon , an employe , told a reporter
that it was the opinion of tha men employed
on the road that a vastschomo to defraud thu
tradesmen all along the line bad been ren
dered aburtlvo by the premature presentation
of the worthless checks. "Wo ought not to
be paid for u day or two yet , " bo said , "and
as far as I can loam from a dozen detectives
the worthless chocks wore presented last
Monday. The shavers wore too smart to go
to any of the places whcro largo numbers of
these checks are passed every mouth , but
visited saloons whore they received compar
atively few. In every case tliov were ac
cepted without hesitation and the fraud was
only discovered when the bank sent the
checks to tbo Philadelphia , ofllco for verifica

tion."From
"From what the detectives say , they are
looking for a girl , a stenographer , and a
young man employed in ono of thu depart
ment ofllcos. She left the service of the
company when the young man she was engaged -
gaged to and sovoril others wcro discharged
at least this Is what the questions of the
detectives Indicate. Of course I know noth
ing about thu affair , as I have not received
my chock yet , and have not been ' mixed up

A similar attempt to lloat worthless Penn

Detective Joseph Francis then discovered
that the plates for the chocks wcro unide at
one place in Now York and printed in
another. Ho advised the ofllni.ils of the road ,
and all thn checks of that month were stmiej

He Clalnm That Ho Is Not Conducting
a Saloon.
William Boughton , who owns a
drug store at Twentieth and Grace
streets is the subject of an invustlgaltoii
by Iho fire and police comuilsonors.
Urougnton denies that there is anythitiK
illegal connected with his permit or way of
Joing business. "Reed tias boon trying to
kick up a fuss every since last fall , " he said ,
but my permit was granted just the samc.y
I'liero was no misrepresentation about it , as
uvqry member knows just what my business
Is. "I don't run a saloon. I sell wines and
liquors as I have a right to do for medicinal
purposes. If a neighbor came in and said his
family was sick and wanted a pint of whisky
I would let him have It for medicinal pur
poses , I own H.l ) ) feet fronting on Twentieth
street in this block and I wouldn't run a sa
loon or anything oiso that would injure my
property. This is a part of town where a
man couldn't run a saloon , as thu neighbors
ivould protest too strongly against it. They
lon't want anything of tbu kind hero.
I am a druggist , but don't pretend to bo a
pharmacist. I sell patent medicines and toilet
irlicles. Reed tul.ced to mu about It
: md wanted to know what right I
and to claim to bo a druggist.
I showed him Webster's definition of the
word. There don't seem lobe as much differ-
jnco between that and a pharmacist as there
is m tbo old'country. ' Reed needn't como up
lioro from Nebraska City to make trouble. I
was down there a while ago and saw some
things that wouldn't look well In print , and I
wrote 'em down when I got homo.
1 havu complied vith the loiter of the law ,
mil thu state board of pharmacy bus no moro
to do with the case than u farmer out on the
prairie. 1 talked with the members of the
; ire and police commission personally , and
Mr. Hiirlnmn referred mo to Mr. Gilbert ,
ivho , ho said , was the lawur of the board , lie
: old mo to get any good legal opinion and I
: urnlshed him that of .ludge Lake , and my
lorinlt was granted two years in succession. "
At this Juncture an ice wagon drove up and
.lit ) driver entered and asked for bonm salts.
I'lio proprietor said ho didn't lieuii anything
if that kind , but had something oiso Justus
jood in the way of patent medicine , llu m-
