Should the test be satisfactory and the plant nourish In this valley a chicory factory at this place may be one of the possibilities next season.

SOUTH OMAHA CITY COUNCIL Another I'.vcnlne Dnvolcil to the llcnrlnf ; of Protuat * Agnlimt l.lceimi Applications , In special 'ussslon last .evening the city council considered remonstrances against the granting ; of liquor licenses to several applicants. Licenses were ordered granted to Charles Burr , Twenty-third and Hammond streets ; August nrlckson , 410 North Twenty-fourth street ; Charles Lelchsonslng , 3121 R street ; Thomas Rock , . 2501 N streej. ; Hugh Mallett , Railroad avenue and Madison street ; Louis Wlnkler , Twenty-sixth and Q ; Edward Winkler - ler , 323 Railroad avenue ; James Hannlgan , Thirty-second and Q streets. P. McAndrews' case was called. This pro test wns filed by Dennett & Tanner. Attor ney Doud , for the remonstrators , called tha attention of the council to McAndrews' peti tion. In this document the name of John ! McKeon was written twice. John Fallen was called as a witness , but declined to tes tify. Ho said , that the whole scheme was bad and rascally ; that ho had left his own country" because there was so much rascality there nnd he did not propose to bo forced to como before the city council and testify when he did not want to , and especially In a ease where he had no Interest. After1 de livering this little speech Fallen walked out ot the room. The council was rather amused nt the man's pluck and went Into executive session to determine what to do about the matter. It was decided , however , to grant the license , Notice of appeal was given by Mr. D6ud. . Henry Martin's case was called. He ad mitted having been served with a notice from The Bee Publishing company , quoting the law regarding the granting of liquor licenses. At the time the notice was served Martin tald that he understood' that The Doe' was the paper having the largest cir culation In the Coutlty.Vlinn placed on the Btund Martin said that he did not know for sure what paper had the largest circulation and lie cared less. Furthermore ho did not care whether ho got a license or not. John N , Durko's case en mo next. Mr. Doud tried to prove In this case the same as in others , .that all of the signers on llurke's petition were not freeholders , J. N. llurko's license was ordered granted. The remonstrance against Henry Martin wns overruled and the license was ordered granted. Notice of appeal was given by Mr. Slini-rnl , nttornoy for The Bee Publish ing company , AltoVney Uoud , for the rcmonstrators , then cnllod the casa ot Mary Wavrlnkevletz. Thirty-third and L streets , and proved by one witness , whoso name was on the peti tion , that ho did not own any property lit the Third ward. The council overruled the reiuonstrnnco and granted the license. No- tleo df appeal 'was given by Dennett & Tan ner. Colonel C. M. Hunt was called In the Frank Crawford case. He denied having signed Crawford's petition , but remembered tolling Crawford that If lie did not goi enough signers , to call around and lie wouh BiRri It. ( 'raivford testified ( lint he hired a man to procure signatures and supposed they were nil right. The protp&tnnts , Dennett & Tan ner , charged that several signatures on the Crawford petition were forgeries , nnd tha Home of the other signers were not resldem /lecholdcra of the Second ward.

STAGG TRIED MIS HAND AT PITCHING \ftcr Clnrlcc Unit llcoii Uncnl Up tlio Great Alouzu Went in the Itoz nnd Took Seine or tlio Sumo Afedlclno. The postponed Decoration day game of ml ! between the Chicago University and ho Omaha University club teams , played at University park yesterday afternoon , was a royal battle Indeeed. There were hundreds of the old-tlmo cranks present , besides a ashlonable crowd of college followers , and he universal verdict was that it was the nest interesting and hottest , game of ball ilayed In Omaha thin year. This may bs partially accounted for by ho fact that when Captain Abbott strode majestically off the field In the early sutn- ner gloaming the scalps of ten of Chicago's omlng statesmen were dangling at his belt. It was a great victory and a well-earned nc. At no stage was there anything that resembled a snap In sight , but at several unctures It looked ns If the emerald-hosed test was going to get It where Maud wears icr beads , but they didn't. Good old Dame Fortune was lavish with icr smiles and the Omaha graduates pulled out with one llttlo pearly tally to spare. They got a sort of a bammerlock on the Vlndy City crew In the opening Inning nnd clung to It until the game was won. The Hilcagos struggled valiantly , but It was like nicking fate , a sort of a psychologic bit of H-fato. Even the great Alonzo Augustus Stagg endeavored to save them , but he couldn't , and , like a true philosopher , he gulped down the bitter medicine without a wince. PHILOSOPHICAL PnOFESSOIl. Alonzo knows that nfter every storm here Is more or less sunshine , and he never orgcts the golden splendor that shines be- ilnd the leaden pall of sorrow. Halny days must most always sometimes circle Into happy tomorrows and tempests end In clear skies and purified atmosphere. Ever 'since Thursday afternoon Alonzo has icen cajoling and coveting the , smiles of lope , but the heartless sybil only frowned and turned her back upon him. Ho forgot nothing. Ho rubbed his dimpled hand over hff hump of a hunchback , kissed the fabled rabbit's foot nnd patted a batlcss coon ipon the head. But all these charms had est their puissance , and be left for Mlchl- ; an's craggy shores last evening looking Ike a shadow of his fresh former self. But for the game , hero goes , first flop out of the box , high man out. Robinson and Clarke were the pitchers , and It must be said that Hobble had much ho best of the argument from start to fln- sh. In extenuation of Clarke's Indifferent showing it Is but fair to state that he was not himself by any means , and besides It was an off day for him as well as all of his colleagues. After one or two wild slashes at Clarke's tantalizing curves Tommy Crelgh finally caught one , but all he could do with It was o elevate It over to the classic Mr. Nichols. Then Crawford laid bis sapling against one and It went bang against the right field 'enco. ' Ralph Blttlngcr was nolle pressed at Irst , but Abbott got In a neat single and 3rawford scored. Then Hobble stepped up. "Dot you a dollar and a half I bring the captain In , " said Hob to Manager Thomas. "Dassent bet , " replied Charlie , "but If you do I'll 'takop you out and show you Lhnwgh the cemetery. " ' "It's a go , " 'replied Hobble. Then Clarke tried to got In a quick one on him. But Hobble smashed It and , like the fabled rooster somebody bought for GO cents , It lew over1 the fence. Amidst the whoops of the populace both swarmed home. It was so nice , coming as It did after two hands were out. McAullffe's foul was neatly cared for by "aul Jones , nnd the Chlcagos came In. CHICAGO'S FIHST SCORE. Nichols Is a patient youth , and ho waited 'or ' what he wanted , and ho got It. Four lulls. Ho was a bit sloW nnd when he skated down to second Alonzo Augustus , who was already hungry enough to eat n raw dog , got up and walked around the > ench throe times for luck. A balk boosted ilm on another bag , and after Jones had lied out to the pitcher he scored on Ad- clnson'a hit down to Crelgh , who made a ness of It by trying to catch him at the date. Ho was too late , and Adklnson cached first In safety. It availed him but Ittlo , however , for Crawford caught him the next Instant going down to second. Abells struck out. Ho should have known better , and when : ie reached the bench Alonzo delivered him a lecture on the Intricacies and possibilities of Frankle's good right wing , touching on the color and shade , length , breadth and size of the same , with all the Intrepidity of Ig norance. It was egg-flip for both sides In the second end and third , and another for Abbott's graduates In the fourth , but here the Chl cages got In another. Crelgh'8 error let the warmed-halred Mr. Adklnson to station one , ho stole second , went to third on Abbott's out and homo on a wild and untamed pitch. The next two men were easy and the grad uates came right back and gulped down a pair. Jelen led off with an out. Then Lawler lilt one down to Nichols , and Nick executed one of the most artistic blunders yet put on exhibition. He made a delirious snatch at the erratto sp'hero and missed by a foot. Then ho stepped on It and It ran up his leg as far as the knco and caromed off Into the dust. Then he got his talons Into It , but It was too late , for I > a\rler was shaking hands with Abells on first. Crelgh followed this with n hit and Crawford got his base on balls and on Blttlnger's single Lawler and Crclgh scored. It looked bully. But right here trouble began to brew , for on Abbott's tap he and Bit were doubled up like two llttlo girls in blue. In the sixth Omaha piled up three- more nice fat , fastidious runs and took a lead which everybody said could not be headed off.- STAGQ'S MEN MADE FOUR. In their half Adklnson opened up with an out from Crelgh to Abbott , and It looked like another exotic from the hennery. But Abells got his base on a missed third strike and Henry Clarke sent the globulatcd hog- skin skimming over to. Robinson , who throw wild to Abbott , and the air bgan to take on n cerulean hue. But on Herlug'a push that boy always was n flssh Colonel Abells' fair young life was snuffed out at the plate , Old Rustlforous McKelvey turnIng - Ing the trick. That was pleasing. But the next minute .Winston hit safe and Henry scored , Grant hit safe and Her- Ing and Wtnnto moved up. Brown bit one down to Jack McAultfte , and Just ns Jack went to grab It he stepped on ono of hi : hands , and both Winnie and Uencrnl Grant conglomerated about the plate. That was nil , but It was plenty , nnd It fell like manna from heaven on Alonzo's bowed head , and for a few brief moments he looked Ilka a real live man again. Thinking to save the day Alenzo tnre ofl his coat right hero and setting Clarke ) down on a soft spot on tha bench lie weni out Into the arena himself. The great Stagg. The shades of classic Yale fell over tb > > paik ns he posed on the slab. Everybody held their breath wltl : both hands. Bittlnger faced him courage ously. Alonzo bent his lissom shape ant ] ilp ! came a choice1 reticulation. It was square over the Plato and so was Bit' ? club ' und when Fielder HerliiB recovered tu'o bal from out the crytosatnlc plants In far ccii' tor It looked like a much abused doughnut It was soft mid flabby and had lost mucl of Its pristine grace and beauty. It was i three-baso hit. Bit scored on Abbott'a sin r.Ie. Then when Hobble alto hit a cafe on ; Atonzo grew Inflorrscent about hU erudlt < gills.U . U looked like a gob ol run * , but nor , ninny times hnvo I told you f llo\vg thni there In nothing In looks ? When you an looking at look * teiufinbe ? Jhu ol.l adage r about a rose smelling-Just as loud If you call It a plcco ot Llmburger cheese. That's the point I'm trying to make- . , Alonzo'u convolutions were tqo well-bred for the next three and the Inning ended with Blttlnger's run alone. In the eighth the Chlcnpos took the lend , but they didn't took It long. Stagg walked down , Hobble madoa naughty throw , Winston struck out , Grant lilt safe , Brown fell dead , and Nichols got In a three-cu&Slon drive , and the three runs netted put Alonzo's lambs one to the good. , WON IT RIGHT HERE. There was much sorrow and n lack of glad sounds In the stand Just here. But Ab bott's men quickly threw off this funereal reeling , and before Alonzo could realize It they had thumped three more great , big , Juicy , corpulent runs out of him. Everybody cheered this brilliant work , of course , and the ladles , waving their lace handkerchiefs , cried In chorus : "Mister Abbott , you are a bird ! " All the Chlcngos could do was to squeeze In one more little , lonesamo sea-shell tint of n tally , and the _ game was over , the day was won , and Omaha had "win" It. After It was all over every one of the Chl cages stopped up to Alonzo and shook hands with him cordially. No ono could hear what they said , but the general Imnresslon was that they were congratulating him 'on hav ing escaped altvo A diagram of the strife U appended : UNIVERSITY CLUH.

Fourth Itnco 1'roveil Klnnstroun to tlio Men Who Hot Jfu/i < lln Jltteo n ( Irput fellow v.lvkwkw i ; , tfvf llorsoj. The successful character of the races and the universal satisfaction that lias been felt all around lias led the Union park management to continue the meeting all of next week. Consequently this will , not be the last day of the races. There are about sixty beaten horses whoso owners are not satisfied , and these gentlemen will bo de lighted td learn the action that was taken at the meeting of the association lust night. There never has been such a string of horses In the park , and as long as the people enjoy It and' are anxious to pay for It the park management doesn't feel Inclined to object. A new feature of In terest will bo added to the races , beginning today. No more half-mlla spurts go. A telegram was received from the Turf con gress by Starter Duller , telling him that he had no power to permit any race of less than three-quarters of a mile. Today's card culls for seven races , the first a heat race. After the first race Pearly Mills will bo sold on the track by his owner. The crowd at Union park yesterday after noon was enough to comfortably fill the Hrand stand. The talent had " 'the best of tlio betting. In the first race wise ones backed Wanda T , and the little horse came In an easy winner. They repeated the performance In- the second and third races , but In the fourth , fifth and sixth the long shots won , the sixth , the hurdle race , , catch ing 10 to 4. The track was In fine Condition and the weather a close fit , and some of the finest racing of the course was the result , The fourth was the prettiest race of the afternoon. Billy Sunderland was the favorite , but there was a strong tip on Tattersall - tersall , who was prtitty well backed. Tattersall - tersall got away third and continued In that position half way round , running easy and under perfect control of his rider. At the three-quarter pojo Hart eased up a little on the bridle and the brown gelding went up to second. He hold this place until the stretch was reached , and then I'lart let lilm come alongside of the Wild Huntsman , who had been leading all the way around. They ran together until the last 100 feet of the race , then Hart applied the whip and Tattersall lunged -halt a length ahead and kept It under thewire. . The race that had in It the greatest ele ments of uncertainty was the hurdle event , one and a quarter rdllos , handicap , over five hurdles , Vollera was scratched , several of the horses could itot be Induced to jump the obstruction * , and tlie greenest of the gang , Gov. Boles , "fell over the hurdle and laid down on his rider , Snooks. When the start was inadil Gray Duke , who had been selling In > the pools at 3 to 1 , took third placfe , changed It to second at the quarter an < F was getting in the neigh borhood of first when ho fouled on the third tiurdle. He tiicicilU | complete somersault , landing on his head , throwing Handolph , who was up. Wit net hurting him. When the crash canw OnMe , a 10 to 1 shot , got through the brush and flew for homo like a scared jackrabbjt , knocking down all the other hurdles and finishing about fifty yards ahead of the gang.

CHICAGO , May 31. A mammoth scandal today ended the career of the world famous Chicago road race. Sworn statements made today put nearly 10 per cent of the participants In the so-called "race" on rec ord as contemptible sneaks. How many more of the remainder of the "racers" will go Into the same class is yet to bo deter mined. It was a wholesale fraud on a scale probably never before equaled In the history of cycling races , or , for that mat ter , In races of any kind. The trouble , In brief , Is- that they say the race was not a straightaway , and that 130 contestants , lit erally by dozens and scores , ( le'llii-rately ' cut the course Instead of going round the full turn at Evanston. It Is claimed that only thirty-one of the tlrst 100 to imlpli. among whom was the winner , Homer Falr- riian , were noted as having pass-d the limit mark at Evanston , rfhd that no note wan even made of the other slxty-nlno men at that point. The fellows not In the llrst 100 are supposed to have done even worse. Aside from the scandal attaching to the race as a whole , Referee Thomas F. Sher idan had his hands full today receiving protests from scores of riders in the race against the awarding of prizes to Falrman and Emerson , the first prize and time prize winners respectively. It now looks ns If neither of these men will be given the place which was assigned to him yesterday. How ever Falrman may come out. It Is almost certain that Emerson will bu disqualified as time winner. All the testimony goes to show that Emerson did not ride the course. At Univernliy I'urtt Toilny.
