Pretty good ball.
That's what the fan are seeing out at
Vinton Street park these pleasant spring
Says. It la about aa fine an article of the
great national game aa ever was exhibited
in these parts, and the best of it Is the
public appreciates the offering. Omaha
people, alnays known for the liberality
with which they supported a ball team,
bay been more than generous with their
patronage ao far. and have been well re
paid tor their liberality by the quality
of the sport. The condition has had Its
effect on the visiting team and each in
turn, no matter him loosely It has playd
elsewhere, seems Inspired by the presence
of tbe crowds to do Its best. Even Pea
Molnet and Colorado Springs played
snappy ball here the Millionaires even
playing a scrappy game, something Omaha
people do not like. Of course. It Is the
home team In which the most Interest Is
felt, and it Is merely stating a fact to say
that not since the days of lfcKD have the
people exhibited such general Interest.
Arguments on the beef trust and such
questions have been sidetracked in favor
of debates as to whether Ace Stewart ran
cover as much ground as did Jack Crooks, enemy could not have wished him a warmer
or whether Cy Sutillffe put 'em donn .o reception than he got on his arrival at
Danny Shannon with any more accuracy i Denver. While the team won eleven out
than does Johnny Gondlng get 'em over to
Ace or Joe. And, while we are on this
topic, that same Johnny Gondlng made
two of the warmest blunders ever seen on
the local diamond during the first Pes
Moines game, spoiling a shut out for Gra
ham. It is so unusual fr.r him to make a
costly error ths.t the fans expected the
grand stand to fall when be threw the
ball nearly to centerfleld fence Instead of
to Biewart. who stood ready to nail a run
ner and make the third out in the Inning.
It resulted In two runs. During that game
Carter and Grnlns executed the neatest
double steal seen here In many moons.
Carter was on third and Genlna was on
first and stsrted for second. LohbK-k
fired the ball to Qulnn and made a good
throw, but Genlns was already safe and
Carter had crossed the plate. It was as
daring a bit of base running as one cares
to see.

While talking ol individual players, a
word may well be devoted to young Mr.
Thomas, the relief catcher. He Is playing
his first professional engagement, but tbe
average onlooker would think htm a vet
eran. Hla fielding back of the bat has been
plendld so far and his throwing to bases
almost equals Gondlng's, which Is about aa
much as can be said for a catcher these
days. He has played first base and right
field, too, and baa done remarkably well,
his one error being made at first base and
coating nothing so far as the game was
concerned. Manager Rourke hae great con
fidence in the youth and predicts that he
will develop Into one of the best in the
business. He certainly is apt and has tbe
advantage of having splendid tutors in
biewart and Gondlng.
In the passing of Tom Fleming the
Omaha outfield is weakened to -a certain
extent, for Fleming was a veteran and a
aplendld fielder. His weaknesa waa at the
bat, where he had not shown any strength
at all. With Carter's great Improvement
In batting and the popularity of Genins, It
seemed almost certain that Fleming would
b benched in favor of Stone, who la
needed on the team because of his hitting
ability. While this decision bad not been
reached, Fleming anticipated it, and had
practically made arrangements to Jump to
Sacramento. Bums' offer to take him on
I of the twenty games played on its trip, the
j loss of that last one at ties Moines set the
I Colorado fans wild, and they went after
I the chief cf the Grlttliee like a bull at a
red rag. Banishment is the mildest form
I cf punishment suggested for him by the
i rnnkl ahn ira etllnff th rnlumna nt
thp papers with their demands for his re
tireroent. Wilson hasn't yet recovered the
use of bis leg, Davis still suffers from the
shoulder which kept him out of the game in
Omaha, and McConnell is doing the back
stop work with a badly split band, but
these facta do not ameliorate the offense
of the team in tbe least. It has lost
gsmes. and that is a capital offense in tho
estimation of the Denver crank. Five hun
dred people welcomed the team borne In Its
first game with Milwaukee, just to show
how the public there dlsspproves of a
team that doesn't win every game.
Secretary Lawrence of the Denver team
tells the newspapers out there that Omaha
is easy. Well, maybe, but Denver certainly
didn't find It ao.
Thomaa Jefferson Hickey unllmbered
himself during the week for the first time
since the sesson opened. The burden of
his talk was thst the Western league is
losing money. He was up at Milwaukee
and pointed to the attendance there to
support his assertion. If the Milwaukee
Western league tekm is losing money, whst.
pray, is the Milwsukee Hickey team doing?
With no competition, the American associ
ation 'games have been drawing 20 to
400 people. That surely doesn't look like
much of a winner. And if. as Mr. Hickey
says. Itwlll cost Mr. Van Brunt 140,000 to
maintain a team in Milwaukee this sea
son, how much less will it cost Messrs.
Quin and Havener? t'nless the Duffy
outfit is uncommonly expensive it can
hardly cost more than J20.000 for the sea
son, and while not much of this wiil be
taken in at borne, the receipts of the team
abroad will go a Jong way toward reduc
ing the deficit. It is quite likely that Mr.
Van Brunt will lose 110.000 on his Mil
waukee venture, but be stands to make
that much on his St. Joe team, ao he will
get an even break there. Just mhen Quin
and Havener will get back the golden
ducats they are putting out for the fun of
the Colorado Springs team spared him the J a ball team cavort in front of a
unpleasantness of being blacklisted, and be
left Omaha with the best wishes of his
team mates, his manager and a host of
friends, who would have liked to see him
finish tbe season here, but who hope he
will do ell in his new company. Fleming
is a splendid fielder snd will be found quite
acquisition for tbe Millionaires.
As a team the work of tbe Omahas Is still
S20.000 grand stand full of empty seats
is s question even Mr. Hickey will refrain
from answering. What ia true of Mil
waukee Is true of Kansas City, and every
aspect of the case at present indicates that
tbe Western still has the better of the
struggle. Not a single Hickey town, save
Columbus, haa turned out paying attend
ance, and not a team is earning expenses.
It surely looks more like a Fourth of July

Teople still doubt that tbe element of
luck exists In a ball game. A rase in point
from ancient history: One afternoon dur
ing the time of Shannon's Lambs, the last
half of the ninth inning found the score 7
to 5 in favor of Omaha, with Minneapolis
at the bat. two men out and two men on
bases. Moxie Hengle lifted an easy fly
over Into left field, which Larry Twltchell
got under and tbe game was no It wssn't
won for Omaha, Dot by a jugful. Just
inside the foul line stood a post about ten
feet high, to whtrh was tied one end of
tbe rope uaed to keep back tbe crowd on
overflow days. Twltchell stood beside this
poet and watched the ball slight squarely
on top. whence it bounded over the club
house back of the bleachers, and Hengle
got a home run on what should have been
a rtnch out. And then, there's thst fa
mous Incident of Norman Leslie Baker's
pointer pup and the bunt hit which Gussie
Alberts didn't field. Tou bet there's luck
In a ball game.
is that Hermann fights like Johnny Wbit

he is a better man that Emlth all around,

under heavy punishment. x
ANOTHER GOOD FIGHT COMING
Omaha Colored Wander to Meet a
wlft gla-Roaaa Boy from
Chlrago.
And now Haich Smith. Omaha's own lit
tle colored featherweight, is to fight the
rapid firing "Kid" Hermann of Chicago.
The contest is scheduled to occur in South
Omaha. nd tbe date is June IX. Blum's
ball, tbe familiar old Red Light theater
rejuvenated, will be the scene of tbe con
flict, and the usual interesting string of
preliminaries is promised.
Just to show that he means business Her
mann will coma to Omaha this week and
finish his training here. Just what kind
of a fighter he is may be gathered from
the fact that he fought the fierce "Kid"
Abel, who beat Clarence Richie In two
rounds and Tom Sullivan easily, a six
round drsw after be had broken his arm
In the first round. On another occasion
Abell was matched to meet vicious Joe
Bernstein, the man who is always looking
tot a chance to get hurt. At tbe last
minute a spama of nausea due to nervous
neea prostrated Abel and prevented him
meeting the call of time. Hermann was
In bis corner for that fight, and was asked
to go on against Bernstein ao that tbe
crowd would not be disappointed. The
"Kid" was In good training, and, although
he had a terrorizing proposition to go
against, he never faltered, and entered the
ring as soon as he oould get tnto fighting
togs. Bernstein was ten pounds tbe
heavier. It was a fierce fight, and th
referee called it a draw, but the specta
tors yelled "Hermann," and popular senti
ment had clearly given him the fight even
though the official Judgment did not. That
illustrates the kind of nerve thst Is pos
sessed by tbe man who is coming to meet
Haich Smith.
One thing mors may be added about
Hermann. Sam Summerfield, the well
known president and matchmaker of tbe
Dearborn Athletic club in Chicago, wrote
Johnnie Richie last Thursday, In referring
to Hermann:
"He is one of the best 122-pounders this
town ever produced, strong, clean' and a
glutton for punishment."
In the light of Smith's well known
hankering after a basting, smashing fight,
that last sentence of Eummerfield's opinion
alone promises tbe warmest kind of a time
at South Omaha next Friday night a week.
Any man who is a glutton for punishment
will have just the chance of his life when
he goes up against Haich, and unles he
has an impregnable guard he is likely to
have both his gluttony and his rspaclty
amply satisfied. Smith never runs away
from anything, and It will be Joy indeed
to see him up against a man of his own
nature. The men are to weigh 122 pounds
at t o'clock on the afternoon of the mill.
This" fight, following on the heels of tbe
Richle-Bartley affair, would aeem to Indi
cate that Gallup and Richie were indulging
in no dope wreaths when they said that
they Intended to bring off a string of cork
ing bouts at South Omaba this summer.
Tboss who did not expect much from the
first one of tbe list were agreeably disap
pointed, and on tbe face of It tbe coming
fight promises far better than that
one, for Hermann seems to come far more t
highly recommended than was Mike. If he
fights as sturdily, however, people will be
well pleased with him. It was interesting
to note how Hartley won the hearts of tbe
crowd by his determinstlon, his vigor and
his stubborn persistence. It had been ex
pected by many that mow easy one had
been Imported to givs Richie a cinch vic
tory for hla return to tbe ring after ao
long an absence, but as It turned out Mike
was there to win if he could, and be nearly
could.
The biggest crowd that has attended a
South Omaha mill In years was on hand
tor that fight, and ao tbs good opinion ot
the character of tbe goes to be offered at
Blum' hall by Gallup and Richie was sunk
into a lot of men's mlnds and therefore
widely scattered. A continuation of such
squars tactics w 111 certainly bring to tbe
subsequent games ths hearty support they
deserve for being offered up along the lines
desired.
In one way Smith will have a great ad
vantage over Hermann from ths start.
Thst will be that the latter ia strictly a
six-round man and Smith can go the twenty-round
distance acheduled much better on
that account. In Chicago six rounds is the
limit and all the Windy City boys go like
fury for that abort distance. When Bart
ley cams hers to meet Richie the sams dif
ference obtained. He had never In his life
gone more than eight rounds and was nat
urally tralnsd for such a fight and ac
customed to it. Ths long Journey told la
ths end, ss be was glad to admit, and had
ths mill been of ths short variety he would
In all probability have won and might even
have fairly been given ths decision had It
been cut off at the end of the sixth, any-
way, even though he tried to save himself
somewhat.
So It la mors than probabls that Hsr
mann will corns out and gs after Smith
awfully hard at first. Six-round men are
apt to be fierce rushers, anyway, as (heir
only chance to win Is either to land or do
ths leading, at best. It will bs Interesting
to note Smith's tactics under such an at
tack. Will he depend upon cautioua de
tense for a time, or will he solar at once

NEW GAME COMES TO OMAHA
Shaaleboera Makes Hit iati, the
Hahltaes at tbe BavrUaa
Alleys.
Omaha Is up against a new gams. Shu foe
board has Juen. found tbe Gats City, and the
prospect now is thst this alluring little
sport will replace bowling mora or less
completely for ths wsrm weather season.
At the Gste City alleys one sbuffiebosrd
table haa Just been put in, and it has al
ready become so popular that it seems
necessary to install another at once. All
day long former bowlers crowd around It,
and as no more than four ran play at a
time, the rest ran merely watch and wait
for a chance to get In.
Sbutfieboerd Is s baby game of curling.
In fact. It resembles the famous old Scotch
game in so many particulars that it Is a
good miniature of the larger outdoor sport.
In each weight are slid, not thrown, down
s definite narrow course toward a goal.
Tbe point is to get as near this goal as
possible, and to knock your opponent's
weight away, if you can.
Curlers -use a "stsne" weighing many
pounds. Shuffleboarders slide a snnall Iron
weight about a pound heavy. Curlers play
outdoors and skim their "stanes" down
smooth ire scores of yards. The shuffleboard
devotee Stan do at a table twenty-seven
feet long and slides his weight down a
smooth, hardwood ssnded surface sixteen
inchea wide and twenty-six feet long.
Around this playing board is a gutter a few
inches wide, to catch the weights thst are
slid off or are knocked off, and which then
count for nothing. Curlens throw with tbelr
full arm swing, and ths weight ot the
body ia behind it. In shuffleboard you uss
tbe forearm and fingers, and the upper arm
just a little.
The advantages of shuffleboard Just now
are that It does not make you too warm,
is not a game of any great exertion, and la
withal a matter of considerable skill and
rraft. A few days' trial has shown thst It
tskes well, sad It mag very well be tbe
cause of bowling alleys being kept open
which would otherwise have been closed
during the summer. At the Gate City
alleys a table has been set along the fifth
alley, and the use of that for bowling
abandoned. The shuffleboard has already
grown so popular that tbe use of that par
ticular alley can be well discontinued In
Its fsvor. To see a long, narrow table on
every alley would look funny to a bowler,
but It may come to that.
The fascinations of the game are many.
It takes about as long to play It as It does
for two people to bowl ten frames. It is
scientific, and yet has enough of tbe ele
ment of luck attached to it to make it
interesting. Men, women or children can
play It, as no strength is required. Tour
nament or contest gsmes may be easily
arranged. Tou don't have to polish or oil
your table, and. best of all, there Is no
noise. Tbe weights used are flat discs of
iron. Tbe game Is easly learned.

DOES POTASH AND
MERCURY CURE IT?
Experience says not, and thousands whose health has
been ruined by the use of these poisonous minerals, stand
read' to testify thatj while Mercury and Potash may mask
the disease drivejt from the outside for a time, it comes
back with renewed virulence as soon as these drues are left
off, and thus the fight between Contagious Blood Poison and Mercury and Potash is protracted
for months and even years, resulting in a broken down constitution, spongy and tender gums,
excessive salivation, decayed teeth, pains in the stomach, nausea, ruined digestion, nervous dj-s-pepsia,
dizziness, and other distressing symptoms which always follow the use of these poisons.
They mask the hideous form of this serpent-like disease, but the deadly virus still hides
m the system. There is an antidote for this awful
poison ; a. reliable, certain and permanent cure for
Contagious Blood Poison and that remedy is
S. S. S. the greatest of all blood purifiers, and an
experience of fifty years has proven it to be a true
specific for this vilest of all human diseases, which
not onl)T threatens the life of the one contracting
it, but is transmitted to posterity with more cer
tainty than Cancer or Consumption.
Wh)' should ou continue the Mercury and
Potash treatment, when by so doing you are only
complicating the disease hy burdening the blood
with another poison, which in time will produce a
long train of evil consequences.
S. S. S. being purely vegetable, leaves no bad after-effects, but invigorates the whole
system while cleansing the blood of the virus. S. S. S. is the only known antidote for Con
tagious Blood Poison the only medicine that is able to unmask this venomous reptile and
drive it out of the blood. It has rescued thousands from the clutches of this horrible malady,
after Mercury, Potash, Hot Springs and everything else had

A COMMON EXPERIENCE,
About three retirs ago 1 had a severe case of Con
tagious Blood Toison, and tried doctors without benefit,
so I concluded to go to riot Springs. After remaining
there some time the sores and eruptions left and appa
rently the disease was cured, and I left for home. In
about three rnocths after leaving tbe Springs the trouble
came back worse than ever. I had often beard of S. S. S.,
and wrote for rour book. At that time I was unable to
work and bad lost flesh until I did not look like the same
person. I began taking S. S S soon after 1 beard from
rou, and in a short time found to my great joy that every
sign of the disease was gone, and 1 had gained 3a pounds,
1 now weigh 10 pounds more than I ever did.

BIG BARGAIN FOR THE OMAHA FIRM
Goods Will Be Removed to Omaha,
Where They W ill Be Offer

Spirited.
Des Moines Patty Capital.
Tbe entire stock and fixtures of tbe
6eeley-How-LVan dry roods store sold
under tbe receiver's hammer at 10:30 this
morning to J. U Brandels sV Sons of Omaba
for $35,360. Sixty days' time Is given for
tbe removal of the foods snd a provision of
tbe sale Is that none of th goods shall be
sold In tbe Rot b ell building st Blxth ave
nue snd Walnut street, which has been tbe
borne of the Seeley store for years. C. W.
Johnston, receiver for the defunct com
pany, paid $4.6h0 to the Rothvells for tbe
cancellation of tbe lease on the building,
which had four years more to run at aa
annual rental of f 1,800. H. I). Thompson of
ths brokers' firm of P. M. Hubbell, Son A
Co. bought the accounts of tbe company,
totaling 15.171. for I2B0 cash. The Ds
Moines Nstional bank abares in tbis specu
lation, which Is considersd one of tbe best
bargains ever made In "Oes Moines. Des
Moines dry goods merrtv te, all of whom
were represented at tbe pals, are pleased
over the cals of the stock to outside parties
and tbe prevention of bankrupt sale of the
goods at retail In the city. No negatiationa
for tbs lease of tbe Rotbwell building have
as yet been made.
About forty dry goods men and attorneys
ttended tbe sale, which opened st 10
'clock. New York, Chicago and Omaha
merchants were In the lists to bid on the
atock. Judge McVey had ordered at an
early session of tbe equity court this morn
lnv that Receiver Johnston should offer the
atock and fixtures In two ways: First,
subject to a continuance of tbe lease on
tbe building and tbe sale of the goods at
retail In Ies Moines, and, second, subject
to removal of the goods from this building
within sixty days. Tbe latter proposition
waa made to tb bidders first. Silence
followed Auctioneer Johnston's announce
ment of the terms. Tbe bidders from borne
snd abroaii put their beads together in
little groups on tbe second floor of tbe
Seeley store and agreed not to bid. Tbe
Des Moines buyers didn't want the goods
sold st retail here and the outsiders
couldn't afford to put tbem on sale here.
They- were not here for that purpose.
They came to gather In tbe stock at bank
rupt figures and cart It off to their own big
stores in tbe lsrger cities. Tbe fixtures
they cared nothing about. In the bidding,
which bgan a little later on tbe removal
proposition, scarcely more than 10 cents
on the dollar was allowed on the valuation
of the fixtures. The Des Moines buyers
bad another big advantage In tbe bidding,
tbe cost of moving tbe stock to their own
scores in tha city counting as nothing in
comparison with the freight bills, the re
arrangement of the gooda In tbe borne stores
and other expense Items which the out
siders had to figure in.
Almost from the start it was Beeley
against the field, so far as tbe Des Moines
bidders were concerned. Walter P. Walsh,
representing Sweetser, Pembrook & Co. of
New York, did the bidding for Mr. Beeley.
He wes supposed to be speaking for his
New York firm, but his frequent consulta
tions with Mr. Beeley and bis obedience to
Mr. Eeeley's suggestions In tbe bidding
gave the other Des Moines buyers tbe tip
which they were not slow to take ad
vantage of. Blotchy Bros, of Des Moines
stsrted the ball. Harry Blotchy, repre
aenting the firm, offered 115,000 for the

whole business. Mr. Wslsh from New York
Jumped In immediately with a raise to
$21,0(10. Mr. dinger of Chicago made It
$23,000, after Blotchy had offered $21,000.
Mr. Blotchy took one more shot at $23,000
and quit. Mr. Netrhell of Boston atorc,
Chicago, opened the eyes of tbe bidders,
after dinger had offered $24,000, by bid
ding $31,000. At thia point Arthur D.
BntndeiB, representing J. L. Brandels ft
Sons of Omaha, took a hand In tbe game.
To start with, Mr. Brandels offered $31,500.
For Beeley and his father-in-law, Mr. Mayer
of Freeport, 111., Mr. Walsh raised ths
figure to $32,000. Then Nste Frsnkel of
the Harris-Emery company, Des Moines,
opened up a running contest with Walsh,
which boosted ths price up at $50 to $10C
a clip, to $31,700. Twenty bida were mads,
with so one else but these two in the run
ning. Then Netcbell of Chicago began
again, offering $35,000. Brandels added $100
and Walsh $."0. Frankel made it $35,200;
Brandels and Netrhell added $50 apiece, and
Frankel made bis final bid. $35.IiO.' Hs
refused to go farther than this, when
Brandels raised him $10, and ths sals was
knocked down to Brandels at $35,360. Mr.
Brandels paid over a certified check for
$2,000 to clinch tbe bargain. He will ahig.
the goods st once to Omaha.
To win the Battle of Waterloo was due to his stomach. In his youth
Napoleon s digestion was perfect. In later life he suffered from dys
pepsia and indigestion and finaUj died of
CANCER OF THE STOMACH.
When his stomach failed, Napoleon's fortunes declined. Historians
say be lost tbe Battle of Waterloo because something be ate tbe night
before disagreed with him ao seriously as to render him incapable of
properly directing his army. In Napoleon's time there was so
known remedy for chronic stomach trouble. To-day A certain cart
exists in such s remedy as
KODOL DYSPEPSIA CURE.
Which by digesting what yon eat keeps the body properly nourished
and at tbe same time gives tbe stomach s Ciia&ce to rest. Tbe process
of digestion is due to the action on the food of tbe saliva, gastric
juices, and pancieatin, a secretion of tbe intestinal track. If any of
these elements are lacking perfect digestion is impossible. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure contains them all inexact proportion ad consequently
performs tbe process of digestion as well as tbe tiatval stomach. IX
is the ONLY preparation which contains them KXX, 14 Lherciore th
only one which digests ,' -
ALL CLASSES OF FOOD. I .
Yon don't have to diet. Don't overload the stomach. V pon't eat too
fast. But eat all the good food yon want in suSicient variety. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure will digest what yon eat. Thus tbe begy will be sus
tained!. Meantime tbe stomach will be resting. This yest will soon
restore it to health. Napoleon's case illustrates the tkk that people
with weak stomachs often fail in crisis. Tbe moment a man's
stomach is attacked his mental powers sre curtailed ; Ths body is
sustained by the food wa eat. The stomach distribute, it to the vari
ous parts of tbe body. Sometimes the stomach fai to digest tho
food put into it Then tbe work of distribution is interrupted and tbs
body left without nourishment. Tbis amounts to complete or partial
starvation. Yon can't expect much of
A STARVING MAN OR WOMAN.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure cures the worst cases of stomach trouble. If you hsve simply an occasional functional de
rangement, 9.1th belching, fulness or sour rising after meals, a teaspoon!" u.1 of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will set yon
right st once. It never tails.
