Omaha didn't io
out to Young Men's
Christian Associa
tion tiark ycstnrOny
nfternoon and try
to do what sundry
fraginnnts of the
community have at
divers limes failed
todo.and mectwitti
the same luck , you
can lake tnv head
for n foot ball.
The stalwart lads of tins cross simply
pounded thn ovcrlastlnt ? tnrwaler out of
the whole outllt , anil if Captain Abbott's
pay pazalles intwt be put do.vn , I ani afraid
il will li < > necessary to call out the militia to
do It , that's nil.
The manner in which the cherubim
swarmed in over the plate was enough to
lead ono to believe that an epidemic of
nostalgia had broken out among them. No
sooner would ono of the lonely reach first
than ho would malto n passionate , Impetuous
dash foe home , and what's more , he U'on-
orally prtl there.
I'utrlfaction not In on All Oinahas' work
nt a very early stasjo In the warfare , and
na homilitl'-H cot warmer and thicker , so
rotten was their defense that the park
smelt very much like an over-rlpo KUO !
factory.
Hut they plugged away manfully , however -
over , clear up to seventh inning , when their
uck chance.il and -rot ( worse !
Just like that old poker player you've all
read about.
KlKbtliure UmCelestials Jnmned upon the
Alltnosts with both feet and kicked , beat ,
swatted , punched. Jabbed nnd jammed them
until they resembled a lot of chimneysweeps !
in the last throes of tbo delirium tritmnin's.
\\tien they uot tbronph with their hilarity
they had as many runs chalked up to their
credit as the \\holo of Omaha iot In the entire -
tire contest.

One fiinlni ; Worth \Vntrliitii.- ,
H was an exciting hiatus in what was
otherwise a very tireil and lonesome same.
'Iho crowd , too. was wrought up in the
twinkling of an eye , a glass ono. That sub
tle something which makes the laziest and
the dullest individual on earth the ] .1-21-of
the bright * st and keenest man that over
waluctl on lour legs , that extra superfine
sense we call intuition , taught the big crowd
that the YoungMon'sChristian Associations
oven In their lamblike guise were some
body to bo recognized.
And they wero.
lust as soon as that old Scotch melody
lifted his grwn bay trco and smashed Ly-
eurgus Miller smack in the frontispiece fora
two-sacker , quick as u Hash there ran from
the amphitheater to balcony , from balcony
lo bleacher , nnd from bleacher back to am
phitheater , a wild , tnmnlluousoulhrealcakin
to one of the harmonious consultations ef the
Samoselclub , and in loss time than it lakes
to tell il an amplotndinocily of applause
possessed tlio park and , echoing from point
to point , so climaxed the procedure that
sentiment ruled and a universality of nrothor
und sisterhood and comradeship dominated
the .situation.
Kvorybody soeinod to think that the
millennium was Just coming round the
corner.1
Anil there was one other cnsfs in the strife
that should not be allowed to pass uncliron-
Iclod. and it shan't.
In was in the opening of the third hinitip ,
when the score stood 1 ! to a couple of horse
collars in favor of the Christians.
.Mininil Mlllrr'it MnM < T | > li-ri > .
I 'cnrgus Miller , the eafo an lait pitcher
for All Omaha , was the first man to face
General Winlield Scott Camp on this mo
mentous occasion.
Haven't you over seen Mr. Miller , the
nmons rillo .shot twirler. at the bat ! Well ,
ho makes a study lit fur the gods , lie looks
something lixo the chiaroscuro in ono of
those old ISlurello pictures that somebody
digs up fiom the rubbish in their garrets
every once and awhile : He has been known
to make as many as two hits in a single .sea
son , and al this Juncture he was duo for ono
of his uienni.ils , nnd it is probable that Air.
Camp and All Omaha will never forgot I.y-
cnrgns.
You set , it is Mistah Mlllah's strong in
dividualism , when ho takes his coat off , that
gives him such n prominent place in
psychologic development. History tolls you
nnd mo the doings of possibly a thousand or
two of men , whoso mental , moral , physical
nnd other stature looms not nearly bo high
abovn tboir fellows as hyc.urgus loomed
above AH Omaha yesterday nfternoon. Yon
know very well , if you know iitiyinlng , thai
when the professions of war. Journalism ,
the ministry , medicine or law nre alluded
to , quicker than an ice wagon wings its way
along tlio asphall pavement there arc pho
tographed upon the lenses of your inentnlily *
names not born to die.
So lot thai , of l.ycurgus Miller henceforth
stand on nnd forever to the end of time.
Ho swatted vYinlluld for n home run !
Jt wns a regular , full blown , life sire
lollapocodallum.
.Siimb'x I inilii-Htlooril Authority.
When Daniel Webster nnd I wrote the nn-
ahriilncd dirtionnry wo bolh decided tbatn
lollanocodalluin should sland for four bases ,
noihing ' more nor less , nnd it would make no
difl'erenco to us how much Worcester , ( Had-
Btono. Hi-.nalor Ingalls , Mr. Kvarts or
Ignatius Donnelly might kick , vvo irrevocably
agreed on that.
Yon see , wo say of the woman , she Is peer
less among beauties ; of an author , ho is lliu
iilearest and most convincing ; of an orator ,
hols sublimely eloipient ; of a prize lighter ,
ho has never yol been put to sleep ; of a race
liorse.be has beaten tbo record ; of a min
ister , ho is th > giatidestand nioal foroniosl
preacher of Ids time. Hula base ball plaver ,
ono who makes a homo run and ties 'the
wore ; u hat do you say of his ucliiovoment.
That it was a colossal drivel No. A
nilvhty swat ? No. Then what ?
\Vliy. a loliapocodaluin , of course.
In the canl and unculiurcd phraseology of
the day It would bo a hoimirora four-sucker ,
but n.tn and I. wnen wo were compiling our
lexicon , soared nbove such commonplaci-s.
Wo were too .smooth , too full of rich , rod
blood for any nonsense of ihalkind. Wo
wanted a word to suit the deed. Anil wo
got It.

CHICAGO , Sept. 10. [ Special Tolottram to
TUB Ur.r. . | After three days the battle be
tween the free-for-all trotters for ihe purse
of f Ifi.OOO came to nn end at Washington
I'.irk Hits afternoon. This rare , which com-
tnnnced on Thursday , has been qullo the
most sensational ono of tbo ye.ir. not only
for speed , but for the numerous Incidents
tint acceinnanled It.
The ninth beat toilay resulted In a pro
nounced victory for the peerless Allx , who
eamo out wonderfully fresh after the terri
ble strains she had undergone during Thurs
day and Friday. I'Klcy was favorite be'.oro
the deriding beat , hut she could on'y bold
Iho lead to tlie last furlong when Alix. who
bad , been forcing Iho clip , passed her when
she pleased nnd won by six lengllw In
Morris ,1. Jones of ICenoshaVis.oneof ,
tliu owners of the wonderful r.ico mare , says
that bo w.is warned or thu combination In
defeat Allx yesterday , and was told Just
when the attempt to foul her would lie made ,
lie usko.it the judges to protect Alix , and
they , . ( tid Increase the number el patrol
jildues , but when t'ixle.v ran Into the other
inure , the three men In power failed utterly
to : punish Iho offense properly.
Millie Him u Cusli OlVrr.
Mr. .tones wns offered S'J.fiOO to drop the
llrst boat yesterday , and it was on account
uf ht.s refusal that the combhritlnn wns
made lo cut All * down. The judges have
come In for general censure , and more than
one member of the Nortlivvi'.stont lireeders
association h.is openly denounced the evi
dent parti.ilit.v. The victory of Alix was
the nitit-e popular because the rin > 'ot trick
sters Unit prev on tbo trotting turf wns
smitten hip nnd Uiiirh , despite all tne efforts
made to prevent the gallant mare from
winning. Alix ban several more ilntcs , but
will be taken hack to tbo farm at Kcnosiin
for a rest , and will probably not start before
the lx'\inilon meeting next H'ontll.
The balniico of the card today was un
eventful , two classes for coils belli ! ? simply
farces so f.ir us ; i contest was concerned.
Coastman. the favorite for the paeo. e.une
elT first after some do-so lluislies , especially
Ita tlie fourth ho.it , when Koc.ke.iwas bead
and head with him at the wire. " "Cartridge
had the speed of the U : i trotters , and
stepped throe heats below bis former re
cord.
IJollo Vera eamo out late In her attempt to
heal the world's record , and as Build iJoble
was too 111 to drive her she w.is bundled by his
brothel-Charlie. The latter could not do the
mure credit , and after a break iu the lirst
trial vast the half , Hello Vera trotted a mile
in 2 : ( ) ' . ! ' ; . nearly n second slower than her
own mark. There are : v few unimportant
classes left over yet , but Ihe meeting is
practically at nn end. The circuit goes on
next week at St. Joseph , Mo. , where moat of
the fast ones will compete. Summaries ;

What hay had bc"n left by the Urea and hay

The townsiter was also a disappointed
man when ho found himself in possession of
a much-coveted lot. In his dro.ims iipil fan
cies had pictured to himself a town at
least. When ho jot his lot ho found
that tin had a tuenty-live-foot
piece of land in tlio oneii prairie exactly
similar to 1.00 ! ) other pieces , divided from
each other only by imaginary linos. At. the
Koveriiiiiont townsites only the Mocks liad
been surveyed and it was impossible
fora . ' man to tell just where his lot was , even
after he had uot it. Tim fact that the lots
wore not survojcd led to endless confusion
and numerous disputes , for in a ( riven block
more men would claim lots than there were
in a block and some would jet left. The
lirst buildings that went up on the lots weiv
of canvas ; thev were tents erected by shop
keepers , who soon stocked them with their
wares and were doing a thriving business
before sunset.
The people who settled today upon the
Clicrokoo Strip do not differ much , except in
point of numbers , from the boomers who
have taken possession of public lands on
former similar occasions. It is estimated
that fully 70.01)0 ) people have pre-empted
homestead claims or town lots. Kstiniatinij
the number in families at one and a half to
each claiini-r. the number of people now
campinu on tlio Strip is about , 17. > ,000. far
exceeding J tin ; number who raced into Okla
homa when nearly twice the number of acres
were thrown onen to selt'ement in that
territory. Speculators , the townloters ,
( amblers and i-jnlidciice men compose a
greater portion of the population than when
Oklahoma was opened. The townloters arc
especially mrnorous. They ar. ' niostiy men
who have been thrown out of work
by the recent llnancial stress and who hope
to inaKo a stake by solliii } : their claims.
Among them , however , Is the pnif.unonal
townlotcrin Kansas and Oklahomi who is
ahva.\s on Hand on occasions of this kind.
All the comity scats and townsitos have
them in numbers , but they ulso bojst Inelr
full quotas of mechanics , merctianth , small
tradesmen and men of the professions. Doc
tors are present , to nilminister to the
physical needs of the Bottlers ; lawyers to
their legal needs , and newspaper men to
thnir mental requirementKory eounty
seat will have a newspaper which hopes to
obtain county and government printing , anil
every townslto has one to boom it as the
Peerless Princess of the Plains. ' ' O'.irpcn-
tors and masons are plenty. Thorn has not
been much building in cities itie.su hard
times , and they have taken the oppor
tunity to seek employment at big wages
In putting up tnu new towns besides secur
ing n town lot or farm. Many of the gam biers
and confidence men "quit the game" when
the race began. Their golden opportunity
was white men were idling the hours away
waiting for the oponiinr. Som s of them ,
however , went in with tin crowd , and hav
ing taken up a lot will do business as long as
It is iirolitablo.
I'liriiirn .Moxt NiimiirniiK ,
The boomers as a rule are adventurous
people and during the settling of Oklahoma
many of them played with homesteads and
tort'n lots for stakes , and on this occasion
the professional gambler has not found n
dearth of business. The newly formed local
governments , with no local laws and few
facilities for- ailmlnisterin/ territorial
laws , will llnd Italiardinat'ertoi'cal ' legally
with the gambler anJ lie will llnnrish until
tlio law can lay a stern hand upon him.
Hut of all the classes fo settlers the
finner i the most numerous , and , as a rule ,
the moil reputable. Karmnrs have come
from all over the country , some alone on foot ,
some on horseback , some by the railways ,
but the majoritv In thoolu prairie schooner.
They have gone into the land new with an
honest desire to provide for soil' and family
a home and a mer.ns of livelihood. They
will knock to/othcr n house in which to paws
tlio winter , will gather what prairie hay
bus been left by the prairie tires and hot
winds , and will begin atonco to transform
the barren domain of savage tribes into nit
empire of American homos It is upon this
class that the liitnroof the Strip depends ,
and up in which the boomers have based
their laitli. Most of the fanners made their
run for farms in the eastern and middle portions
tions of tlio Strin. where the land is richest
and the water most abounds. Others who
huvibroiiv'ht with them the nucleus of a
herd of cattln also went into ( lie middle
portion. Muny large lamilk-s went , into the
western portion , where their members could
take up adjoining claims and thus secure
lar 'K cattlu ranges ; a family of live inem-
burt > ol legal a''e ' could .secure n langu of 'IOJ
acres , which wo'ii I afford graying to n very
respectable herd ot cattle.

For nearly two centuries the Cherokee In
dians have resisted the march of civilization
westward. As early as 17J1 their land on
the eastern coast was encroached tixin | by
the white * , and they began selling off their
territory , retiring westward , stop by step ,
until they became cornered in the compara
tively small area Mnallv allotted to them in
Indian Tcrriiorv. In U'Jl tlio rhoroUees
dominated vast tracts of land In the east
and southeast. In that yi-ar they ceded lo
South Carollim .M.i'.TU.lHK . ) acre. * , 'since that
tltin' they ha\o sold and dispose 1 of by

he doesn't , propose to lose money hy the

cold dollars and m ikes ilium pav ihe costs
of abstracts and dceits to boot. It costs the
boomer about S'ZO lo tile his preliminary
papers , and from $1 to ? ; ! per acre to prove
up his claim.
The prices set upon the virious portions
of tlio land make a very good index of its
worth. The extreme eastern portion of the
Strip will cost the settler fl.M per acre ,
the middle portion Sl.fit ) per aero , unit all
west of that $1. The extreme eastern
portion contains the most valuable
land. His iooil , rich farming land , well
watered and fairly well timbered. The mid
dle division is fair land , but south of the Ar
kansas river there is a .scarcity of water.
The western division is irood lor little hut

of the Texas Panhandle , No Man's Kind and
southwestern Kansas. Prairie dogs and

What is Eczema ?
It is an agony of agonies.
A toittirc of (01 ( lures.
It is an itching ami Inirning of the
skin almost beyond endurance.
It is thousands of pin-headed ves-
ides lilled with an aciid fluid , ever
funning , ever bursting , ever ( lowing
upon tiie raw excoriated skin.
No part of the human skin is
exempt.
It tortures , disfigures and humil
iates more than all other skin diseases
combint'd.
Tender babies are among its mo t
numerous victims.
'I hey aie ofleii born with it.
Sleep and lest are out of the
question.
Most remedies and the best phy
sicians generally fail , even to tel'-ve.
If CUTICUKA did no more tli.ui
cure Eczema , it would be entitled to
the gratitude of mankind.

A single application is oflen suffi
cient to afl'oicl instant relief , permit
