Omaha U now trotting along In second place, but cot at all worried, because tbe position la the result of an unfortunate combination of accidents and monumental stupidity on part of an Incompetent vmplre. The team la ittll playing good ball and shows no signs of tbe predicted breakdown. All the players are In the tame and Just aa full of determination and fight as they ever were, Just as cape bla of playing good ball, and Just as will ing to abow It, and tbe temporary eu premacy of Kansas City, for It la only temporary. Is In nowise disheartening. Today will see the last game on tbe home grounds until Faturday, July 5. In the meantime Omaha will swing clear around the circuit, playing Its longest trip of :ha year, twenty-three games. Not a few of tbe enthusiastic supporters of tbe team Insist that It will return in Brat place. Certainly, its relative position will be no worse than It Is cow, for at leaat sixteen of tbe twenty-three games bouid b victories. Tbe Itinerary and dates of tbe trip are: At Pea Molnes-June . 10. 11, 12. At Ienver June 14, 15. 16. At Colorado Pininira June 17, 18, U. At Milwaukee June 21, 22, 23. At l'eorta June 24. . !6. 27.

Colorado Springs will follow Denver then Milwaukee, Peoria, Kansaa City and Et. Joseph. Des Moines does not come gain until August. Kansaa City Is still playing fast, consistent ball, and ahowa every sign of strength which haa marked the team from tbe Bret. When Manager Nichols secures the outfielder he is look lng for he will have his team in splendid condition. Denver has again started and promlaea to be in the bunt from start to finish. The other teams of tbe league are nowhere yet. but all are being strengthened and hopes are entertained that they may add to the Interest of the race by making tbe three leaders play ball all the way. Kansas City, Omaha and Denver are so close together that a elngle series might change their relative positions. In bidding goodbye to Umpire Latham The Be regreta that it cannot repeat what was said when Umpire Moran went away It is always a pleasure to praise the work end commend the conduct of a competent umpire, but in the esse of Mr. l-atharo, The Be believes it voices the sentiments of several thousand patrona of the game when it expresses tbe hope that be never again allowed to preside over a ball gams in thla city.

Letberby haa been the recipient of numerous olTera from league) teatna. The t'Mir Rapids, team, in the Tbree-I league. wa especially desirous of landing tbe big Cornhusker twlrler, but Letberby haa withstood all tempting offers and al lurements and announces that be will cling to college ball, at least for another year. Tho other pitchers will be on deck, and Townsend will lead the Cornhuskers as cap tain, his election having resulted by unanimous vote on the part of his team mates. Townsend la a capable, beady and gentlemanly ball player and under bta leadership the Cornhuskers have every rospect of even bettering past achieve ments during the season of 190). NEBRASKA'S BASE BALL RECORD lalvrralty Team Closes Its leasos with av Remarkable Stria of Victories. Tbe base ball season at the University of Nebraska ended In a final blaze of glory, the Cornhusker lads administering a trouncing most complete to the strong semi-profeaalonal Havelock team, the score standing 10 to S. On the day fol lowing Creigbton university was booked ty close the Nebraska schedule, but the state lnterscholastlc field meet took pos session of the campus by reason of prior claim and the collegiate base ball cham pions of the west were compelled to give way. Manager Shldler of tbe state uni versity team declares that he scheduled tha Creigbton game In tbe utmost good faith and was perplexed when informed that the High school athletes had secured first claim on the ground for the data in question. Especially successful baa been the year with the state university diamond crew, In fact no college aggregation In the west or, for that matter, in tbe entire collegiate world, can compare records for 1903 with the lads who sport the Nebraska colors and battle In tha upholding of its honor. Twenty games against college opponents were on the Nebraska schedule. Of these tbe Cornhuskers were victorious in seven teen, percentage of .850. This, in Itself, is remarkable, but the record of the Ne- braskana shines with still greater luster when the fact is taken Into account that fifteen of these games were played on foreign grounds and before hostile as semblages. Nebraska also has to her credit the longest tour ever made by a col lege base ball team in tbe country. The distance covered was upwards of 2,500 miles, and out of twelve games played on tbla Journey nine resulted in victories. Against the teams included in the fa mous "big nine," or conference colleges of the middle west, the Ccrnhuskers were suc cessful to a degree that shows conclusively that college base ball in no aectlon of tha country presents a atronger or more fin lshed article of the national pastime than right here in tbe west. Five games were played against "big nine" teams, and of these Nebraska was victorious in three.

If the condlttona bad been reversed he would likely have made tha same decisions and Kansaa City would have Buffered. This, however. Is no excuse for Latham. Hla honesty la not in question, for The Bee believes he Is o the quare. Hia firmness is undoubted, as he baa taught several players who were In clined to be unruly during his stay there, but his ability to Judge balls and atrlkes -aad to decide base plays is away below par If the exhibition be gave here is a good example of it. Little aorrow will be ex pressed In Omaha on tbe day President Sexton announcea that Latham 18,00 longer en his staff of umpires. year, so that the score Is quite satlafac tory to Nebraska on the whole. Other college teama over which Nebraska has triumphed are: Nebraska Wealeyan, Washburn, twice; Highland Park, Luther (Decorah. Ia.), Knox, Mtesourl University St. Mary's, Ksnaas Agricultural, Creigbton and Drake. - That Kansas City series wsa In many way a disappointment. Neither the visi tors nor the home team played ball aa .they had been playing. In a measure thla Is due to the fact that each team Aad Just had bruising series with other -opponents, that each bad been on a atrain for days, and that neither was able to put It full strength Into the field here. Omaha was compelled to play an out fielder at short In two of the gamea, and both teams had to patch up outfields with pitcher and catcher in order to fill all positions. Each won a victory over tbe other that seemed overwhelming, and each won a victory by a narrow margin, leaving nothing decided. All who aaw the Sunday game, when Omaha exhibited ao marked a case of stage fright, believe that with a competent umpire tbe home team would have won. Kansas City will play here on Sunday. July 20, when the whole thing will be tried over. At present the teams have played eight games together and each haa won four. So honors are even there. That Kansas City aertea waa hard on tha fielding averages, especially that of frank Qenins. who had to com in from tha middle garden and take Joa Dolan's plsce at abort. Genins got four errors in this unaccustomed place, nearly aa many aa he mad all last season playing In tbe utneld. Jchnny Gonding suffered, too. and ao did Stewart. Dolan and Thomas. These mistake do not Indicate that tbe boy cannot play tall. They only show bow extreme anxiety to win affects a team. In batting Stewart, Hlckey and Gonding made good advance, even If the wonderful game pitched by Gibson did hoi A close atudy of tbe Nebraska team makes It rather difficult to attribute to any one department the real secret of Its suc cess. The batting has been timely, the fielding much better than that of oppo nents, the base running far ahead of adver earlea and the team work In general de veloped to an unusually auccessful degree. It cannot be gainsaid, however, that the battery work has been high-class. Bender, a pitcher last year and a good one, too, was developed as a catcher early In the season, and the atocky little fellow haa shown himself almoat a phenomenon. His arm works aa on a pivot and his throwing to base Is well nigh faultleas. In fact, he backstopped no less than fifteen games dur lng tho collegiate season and had less tban a half-doxen sack purloined on him during that period. Doane, a veteran. Is a capabl catcher, but was handicapped early in the season by sustaining a split thumb, which threw the bulk of tbe work on his team mate. Bender. For pitchers, Letberby, Gaines and Town send performed on the rubber and the record achieved by thla trio In all truth haa bordered on tho remarkable. Letherby perhaps, la entitled t tbe palm, although tbla conclusion Is not disparaging to either of the others. HI (peed is terrific and hi shoots ao mystifying to opposing batsmen tbat every gam In which he went onto the slab It was almost a foregone conclu slon that the Cornhuskers would win Letberby twirled In tbe Notre Dam game which Nebraska lost, but through no fault of hla, fielding -bobbles giving tb Irlshme their two runa, while nly a phenomena catch by a Notre Dame fielder of a fa drive from Captain Ball's bat, with full bases, shut off a horn ran and prevented four Cornhuskers from oozing over tbe plat. Galnea baa only one defeat on his ledger, and the same record pertains aa to Townsend. In all caaea loose fielding was responsible, which demonstrate that on the cor of pitching not a gam should tb Nebraska bar lost.

Of all tbe college base ball clubs of tbe middle west few have made a better record or concluded a more successful season than Omaha's Own" 'varsity team, the ag gregation of base ball actentlsta who repre sented Crelghton university this season. Considering that this Is but the second regular 'varsity team that Crelghton has placed on the diamond, considering tbat a certain antagonism and distrust, the out growth of long absence of athletics from Crelghton, have bad to be overcome and eradicated, considering the extent of their chedule. their necessarily limited pecu niary resources and the small number of tudents they can draw upon, the Creigh ton boya have made a record which might lmost be termed phenomenal, and they are eservlng of the highest praise and tbe most earnest congratulations. They have et a pace this year which succeeding teama that represent the "blue and white" can safely follow and imitate, and, best of all tbey have clearly established Crelghton's right and ability to compete with the fast est collegiate cluba in the middle west. One single defeat this season, and that at the hands of the University of Nebraska, the fastest team in western Intercollegiate circles this year. Is Crelghton's proud rec ord. Though the schedule waa somewhat abridged by the forced abandonment of the northern trip, still it Included a sufficient number of the lesdlng college clubs to de termine Crelghton's standing. This season's great success Is due, primarily, to the exceptionally large amount of athletic talent at Crelghton this year. and, aecondarly, to the early training and to the earnest endeavors tbat were evinced by the base ball bunch. In point of ma terlal few schools in the country could consider themselves more fortunate. In batteries. In infield and outfield, were Indi vidual players that any amateur team manager might consider worth signing. At tbe very outset of tbe season Crelgh ton boasted a pair of pitchers that could compete with any amateur twlrlers in the west and that professionals - would not scorn. Harry Welch, Crelghton's star wirier, and Wilcox, champion amateur of Mexico, were tbe twain. Unfortunately Wilcox left school about the middle of April, so he was unable to render much service to the team, but Welch showed up In stronger form than ever after that. In the Washburn and Drake gamea a finer exhibition of pitching could not have been had. Though Creigbton waa hampered by tbe loss of Wilcox, a squad ot young pitch ers waa gradually developed, and. If they did not render much eervice this year, they will form a fine nucleus for tbe .future. Of these Blab artlaia Bucklln, O'llanlen and Colfer were the moat promising. The other end of the battery department waa equally strong. Captain O'Keefe waa a host In himself and George Clarke and Edward Crelahton Droved themselves worthy substitute whenever needed. Lynch and Crelghton were veterans on tbe In field, and Clarke, Dlneen and Kehoe formed aa efficient an amateur trio aa has ever controlled an outer garden in Omaha. Tbe team began training aa early aa Feb ruary In the excellent cage that haa been placed In "Old University Hall." This gave the Crelghton a fine start on their competi tors and to the fin atlck practice indulged in Is due In no small degree Crelghton's reputation of being th hardest hitting team in tbe west. In one respect, however, Crelghton waa wanting thla year. It lacked tbe continual services pf an able coach and a strict dis ciplinarian. Owing to thla a conoleaeur might say that the team did not exhibit that fine degree of team work one would expect from an aggregation composed of so many star players. Exhaustive studies and lengthy class honors have made the Crelghton team delinquent In regards to practice. But no team can expect to be auccessful unless It sacrifices much time to hard and efficient practice, which Is the secret of team work. Next year, when tbe financial condlttona are expected to be bet ter and when It is hoped that still more material will be at hand, ao that discipline may be more severe, the Crelghton lads can see to these, things. Most all of the old player will be back. Lynch Is tbe only graduate; Welch haa another year ad so also has O'Keefe. Dineen, Clarke, Creigbton, Kehoe and O'Hanlen are all freshmen or sophomores. With tbls goodly neat egg Crelghton should represent Omaha with one of th fastest college aggrega tions In the west. Following are Official Score Keeper Leary'a batting and fielding averages ot the season. It will be seen that Lynch and Welch are the twin atara at the stick with the fine average of .500 each. This 1 a very fine percentage, wben It I con sidered that these batters opposed the star twlrlers of Nebraska. Highland Park, Drake, Washburn and other fast teams: BATTINO AVERAGES. Games At l layed.

But nature never intended that poisons of an irritating or acid char acter should be eliminated through the skin, the Liver and Kidneys being their natural outlets, and it is when these important organs fail to perform their functions that these acid poisons are absorbed into the blood and find their way to the surface of the body through the pores and glands of the skin, producing intense itching and burning, inflammation and swelling, and eruptions of every conceivable size, shape and character. Skin Diseases differ greatly in their general characteristics and degrees of intensit)-. Red and angry looking spots break out upon some part of the body with a mass of small pustules or blisters, from which is discharged a clear or straw colored fluid, which dries aud flakes off in bran-like particles and scales, or forms into hard and painful sores and scabs.

Skin Diseases being dependent tipon the same causes require the same treatment, which must be con stitutional and not external. Nothing applied locally to the inflamed surface can bring much relief. The disfigur ing eruptions will continue to annoy and pain you in spite of soaps, washes or powders. There is no hope of getting rid of a skin disease except through the purification of the depreciated blood and neutralizing and filtering out of the circulation all poisonous substances and acids. The purifying and tonic properties of S. S. S. soon manifest their influence in skin affections; the debilitated system is invigorated and toned up, and the gradual disappearance of the eruptions show that the polluted blood is being brought back to its natural purity and strength. tjia cnronic stun aisoraers, wnicn nave resisted all the ordinary methods of treat ment, readily yield to the curative powers ot S.

The time has passed' when women' use fulness in any sphere is to be lightly spoken of. Though as moth ers in the home they rock the cradle and rule the world, women are also active in almost every walk of life. They are prominent factors in literature, music and art even in politics. They exert a wide influence through the church, the club and numerous useful societies. Kindergartens, orphan asylums and nearly all great charities are dependent upon their careful direction, faithful work and loving care. In every land progress may be measured by the position of women. But with all these opportunities to exert her sympathy and with all these invitations to nseful service, hundreds of thousands of our -women are unnecessarily the victim of female weakness which is sapping their life blood and vitality.

We ssv thee troubles and limitations are unnecessary because Wine of Cardui ha raised hundreds of thousands of women from beds of helpless weakness to lives of health, strength and usefulness. Miss Genevieve Clemens, No. 427 LaSalle Avenue, Chicago, 111., had permitted this trouble to run on to a serious stape. She then tried Wine of Cardui and sha tells about her happy cure in the following letter: " From my experience with McElrcc's Wine of Cardui I m satiifled that it Is an hontit, reliablt medicine which docs all and mere than it claim to do. Sines my girlhood I have suffered atonies every month at the time of my menstrual periods and always had to remain In bed two or three dsys at that time.
