"ASE BAIL COSSIP OF WEEK
Rouiis Family Still Haded in Wrong

HARD LUCK COMES IN HUGE LUMPS

Better Thing.
Sack op.
Somebody has evident!? given the Rourks
family the wrong steer, for ther are not
nly beaded In the wrong direction, but
are going a fstt that war they were
traveling the right road a little while bark.
Fourteen game played and twelve lost Is
a record to be ashamed of, and yet that
la what the Rourkltes have accomplished
In the last two weeks. Several reasons
might be given In accounting for this
lump. One ts bard luck. Omaha bas bad
Its full season's quota of bard luck sine
the beginning of June and baa taken ap
parently the full force of every blow that
vll chance has dealt. Game after game
that looked safe baa been lost by some mis
Chance. Bad umpiring la another. Several
games have been registered against Omaha
because of the fact that an Incompetent
r unfair umpire bas decided on plays In
such way as to make it Impossible for
Omaha to wld. Other teams have suffered
from-the same causes, but not apparently
to the same extent. The season is not
ver yet, though, and there Is plenty of
time for the Omaha team to redeem the
York of the last two weeks, and followers
f the team's fortunes have ample faith
that It will.
ttenver, papers are howling against, the
work of Jud Moran as umpire. Just wait
till they get a taste ot Arlle Latham's
work, and If tbey don't yell for Moran
back It will be funny. Omaha hasn't seen
Crlaa, the one-armed wonder front- Chi
cago, but be must be pretty near the limit
If he is bad enough to move Johnny Con
s' trig and Podge Alloway to commit every
thing but actual violence toward him.
Criss is directly charged with the loss ot
two of the- games at Colorado Sprit..,. In
one be sought to have Gonding removed
from the game and grounds, but even Tom
Burns wouldn't stand for this. Crlss had
already put Oenlns and Calhoun out of the
lot. Ha must ha a wonder in bis wsy.
' Right bere let It be stated for the edifi
cation of the Denver Times young man:
He is entitled to all the satisfaction be can
get out of the three straight Omaha lost
at Denver. If the result had been the
ther way he would have been so busy ex
plaining that hs wouldn't have had time to
feel bad. Omaha people are not worry
ing over the loss of those games and will
give Denver a royal welcome when the
team comes bere In July. But tbe Times
young man, when be gets through gloating
ver tbe Omaha series, may learn some
thing by studying the scores piled up by
Das Moines against Denver. In fact, that's
a nut that will keep the best of the depe
makers busy. OmitUs beats Denver two
out of three on the home grounds; beats
Dee Moines three out of four; Des Moines
drops two out of three to Denver and two
out of three to Omaha at Des Moines.
Omaha goea to Denver and loses three
Straight and then Des Moines goes there
and wins two out of three in hollow fashion.
What do you make out of It? Nothing fur
ther than what we all know, that base ball
Is a mighty uncertain game. In the mean
time Omaha fans are not worrying.
So far as statistics are concerned, the
last week baa made little change in the
Omaha'a showing. , Bobby Carter bas
lumped a lkttle in his record, sticking In
two or three unfortunate errors. Frank
Oenlns, despite his playing at third base
while Hlckey was out of the game, has im
proved bis average. Calhoun, Oonding and
Stewart have held their own and Joe Dolan
baa fallen but seven points In spite of six
bard games on the hardest grounds In the
country for a stranger to play on. Bat
ting averages show about the same as
last week'a and the figures given appear
to be about what tbe team Is capable of.
Tbe only feature is that Podge Alloway
baa added three more blta to bis string.

The liniment bottle and flannel strip are fam
iliar objects in nearly every household. They are
the weapons that have been used for generations
to fight old Rheumatism, and are about as effective
in the battle with this giant disease as the blunder
buss of our forefathers would be in modern warfare.
Rheumatism is caused by an acid, sour con
dition of the hlrwv? Tt ia fill! u-itV, ar-riA imi.t;..
matter that settles in the joints, muscles and nerves, and liniments and oils
nor anything else applied externally can dislodge these gritty, corroding par
tides. They were deposited there by the blood and can be reached only through
the blood. Rubbing with liniments sometimes relieves temporarily the aches
smd pains, but these are only symptoms ; the real disease lies deeper. The
blood and system are infected. Rheumatism cannot be radically and perma
nently cured until the blood has been purified, and no remedy does this so
thoroughly and promptly as S. S. S. ' It neutralizes the acids and sends a
tri
sufferer obtains
tonic. It relieves pain and builds up the exhausted vital forces at the same time.
Our physicians will advise, without charge, all who write about their case, and
will scad free our special book on Rheumatism and its treatment.
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO Atlaats, .
These ars the changes of a week la the I
playing lists of the Western. Quits a
question Is raised in the O'Brien case, and
one that will have to bs aettled very soon,
for American sssociatlon players sre look
ing about for places to light when the
league goes to pieces snd sny number of
them sre eager to break Into the Western.
If the fine Is to be made to stick the fact
should be made known as soon ss possible
While talking about players It Is well to
note the work Tom Fleming Is doing tor
Colorado Springs with the bat. During the
Omaha series hs bit at about a .750 clip,
while against Denver and Des Moines be
batted around .500. And yet when Tha Bee
suggested that Fleming was sulking when
be was on the Omaha team he got very
wrothy. His batting average at the time
hs left Omaha was .264.
TRACK ATHLETES ARE BUSY
T. M. C. A. Park the Sceae of Mack
Ambitions Work la Way
of Training.
Though one would expect the sdvent of
summer to reduce athletic Intereet and
participation to a great extent, such a re
sult seems not to have occurred to any
noticeable extent at the Toung Men's Chris
tian assoclstlon so far. Though the num
ber of those enrolled In the various gym
nasium c Issues is not ss great as It was
In tbe winter time,- there is yet a good
sited contingent of men snd boys who ars
keeping steadfastly si ths work.
Most of ths athletica centers now at ths
park at Twenty-sixth snd Ames avenue,
where every facility for track and field
sports ss well as most games is offered.
Here may be found on every fair day a
horde of men and boys in track attire,
doing all of the thirteen prescribed events,
from ths dashes to the runs through tbe
burdles and Jumps to the pole vault,
t Great results from an athletic point ot
view are said to bave been attained, al
ready as a result of the early start the out
door men have secured. Though the wet
weather has made the ground more or less
damp most of tbe time so fsr since the
temperature waa such as to allow open
air training this fsct does not seem to have
interfered to any great extent with the
thoroughness or ths constsncy of the work.
Mudhorses bave been the favorites at the
park and the numbers cf workers out,
even on rainy days, bas been flattering.
One reason for tbe unusual activity in
the face of the unfavorable conditions bas
been the fact that the big open track and
field meet scheduled for July 4 Is now not
so far distant. The prltes offered for this
affair are handsome throughout, and add
to this the no Inconsiderable glory at
tached to first places because of the large
number of entries expected and the en
thusiasm of athletes In preparation for
the event can be understood.
This open meet is not to be confined
strictly to track and field avrnts. It pres
ent plans are adhered to. In addition to
those there will be games, such as tennis,
snd in that sport especially there promises
to be hot competition brought out. The
three courts at the athletic park are busy
every afternoon with Young Men's Christian
association men training for the games, and
others outside of the association are pre
paring on other courts about the city.
A feature of ths meet will undoubtedly
be the match race between two teams se
lected from the Cross Country club. These
people have now been in active organiza
tion aome weeks, and have held many runs.
A match between two companies ot their
best runners should prove a highly Inter
esting affair, especially as It will offer the
novelty of being a cross-country chase.
It must not be Imagined, however, that
the devotion to outdoor athletics has caused
the gymnasium to be entirely deserted. The
place is still alive with workers during
many hours ot the day. At noon and at
night the business men's and boy's classes
still keep the basket ball bumping around,
and this game has much to do with main
taining tbe Interest In Indoor sports dur
ing the hot weather. Teams organized In
tbe winter, during ths height of the basket
ball season, still flourish, and competition
remains keen between them.
Then st night the tumblers csn always
be found In the gym, and the local associa
tion has some good ones. There is one
class of athletes that must of necessity
work indoors, where all the apparatus of
springboards and mats and bars is bsndy, so
there is no dsnger of the gymnasium being
entirely deserted as long ss tha turners
and tumblers sre on deck.
READY FOR OMAHA RACE MEET
Htnrawi Look Forward to Splendid
Sport Begtsaiig on Wednes
day Afternoon.
Omaha horsemen snd lovers ot horses gen
erally ars now looking forward to four daya
of unusual Joy, for on or about I SO next
Wednesday afternoon "Billy" Sapp of Coun
cil Bluffs will drop the flag at the Sprague
Street track for the first race of the best
racing meet that baa been held In
Omaha for aome years past. That may
sound like rather a brash statement when
the commencement even of tbe affair Is
still days In tbe future, but Judging from
ths preparations for this event the predic
tion will be more thsn fulfilled.
This Is ths first meet for ths season of tbe
Nebraska Speed assoclatloa, the circuit
commencing In Omaha, snd If tbe rest of
the stopping plsces bring off their respec
tive portions of it with as much success as
Omaha hopes to do ths sssociatlon will
achieve stability and renown at tha start.
Nothing is now worrying ths promoters
of ths Omaha meet, not even the rain, for
It Is known that tbe half-mile track out
on North Twenty-second street is ths best
rsln track In ths country. No amount of
flooding seems to put this track out of
service. Local horsemen remember an occa
sion when It balled all one day and rained
the next three daya solid bere and then
races wers held on the track the day follow
ing that.
With such a record behind It the track
sue&m w ncn, strong Diooa to me anectea parts, which
dissolves and washea nut all fnrriirn motanl, it.-
happy relief from the torturing' pains.
o. o. o. contains no poiaau or otner mineral, is a
Is causing no worry because of ths per
sistent rains, and as one man Is being kept
busy just to keep it In shape Its con
dition seems assured. Other things in tbe
way of equipment are also well arranged
for. There Is comfortable stabling for ex
actly dghty-flvs horses snd there Is fair
paddock room.
Meanwhile the place is assuming an sir of
Unprecedented activity. By actual counj
forty-five horses are now in headquarters
at tbe track, and such a bunch of animals
gives a fine little field for workouts. Every
day ss many as eight snd ten csn bs Been
out together, so that there is regulsr racing
(o be bad all tha time, while the paddock
la always crowded with others waiting to
get ths track. Thus most of ths horses to
compete are here now, snd the others sre
coming in every day. In all sixty-eight
horses are entered for the meet, snd ss a few
of them are In for two events the total
number of animals on hand will bs about
fiftr-flve.
The schedule of rsces Is a good one. On
Wednesday there are four, three on Thurs
day and Friday, and four on Saturday.
Horses will be celled st 1 o'clock esch day,
snd the game started at 1:30. All races
will be run In mile beats, best three out of
five, save the amateur races and the one
3-year-old event scheduled. This last
comes on the first dsy, and In that the best
two out of three beats will decide tbe
event.
The smateur races sre occasioning keen
Interest In Omaha, for many local horses
will start. There is ons each day, and
tbey are cleverly arranged so ss to give
everyone a chance. On the first day comes
a consolation amateur trot for those- who
did not finish first, second, third or fourth
on the first day. On the last day comes a
consolation amateur pace for those who
did not finish one, two, three, four on the
second day.
All amateur races will be run In half
mile beats, the best two out of three to de
cide. The prizes will be very bsndsome, a
road cart going to first horse, a harness to
second, a laprobe to third and a whip to
fourth In all four amateur races.
For those who imagine that there will
be no time worth seeing during the meet
it Is sufficient to refer to one little per
formance in practice which occurred the
other day. Harry Dunn bas bis little
mare, Jessica, on the track in the hands
of Pat McAvoy, a clever trainer who Is
handling a big string out there. On this
particular day Jessica did a mile In 2:204,
not bad at all for a half-mile track.
As tbe horses for the opening meeting ot
the Nebraska circuit, which begins In
Omaha next Wednesday, arrive at the track,
the stsble boys gather around each new
arrival and discuss the animal's chances.
Two races sre now attracting the most
attention, the 3-year-old trot and the 2:12
pace, and there are Omaha entries in botb.
In the 3-year-old trot The Critic, a 3-year-old
son of The Conqueror, will make bis
first start. " This young stallion Is entered
in the Terre Haute stakes and the Lexing
ton and Hartford futurities. He Is also en
tered In the Horse Review futurity, to be
trotted at Brighton Beach, and the Read
vllle futurity at Boston, but on account of
the location of ths track, near the sea, he
will not be started. Ollle Miller, owned by
C. C. Miller of Pecan Gap, Tex., and Fred
Dillon, owned by A. J. Freeman of Parsons,
Kan., two other starters in tbe 1-year-old
race, are now at Omaha.
In tbe 2:12 pace the fast pacer, George
Castle, owned by A. L. Thomas of the Key
stone farm. Is a likely prospect. He bas
been shaving miles around 2:20 and fast
quarters. Jesks, H. W. Dunn's little bay
mare, another entry, recently turned the
track in 2:20 and a fraction. Selden WilkeB
comes from Colorsdo Springs, where he won
the free-for-all.
The next fastest pace, the 2:17 class, will
be decided Thursday. Among the entries
are Jessie Kling, owned by P. B. Halght of
Omaha; Daisy Egmont of Padora, Kan., and
Trilby S. and Dulce 8., two mares that
have been racing together in the Cedar
Valley circuit In Iowa this spring.
The fastest trot Is the 2:18 class, which
is also on Thursday's progrsm. One of
the entries in this class ts Durodo, the fast
horse owned by Tom Dennlson. Tony W.
and Spottie M, two Hastings horses that
bave been stationed at Omaha all spring
are In the same race. These three havo
been working out together on the track
snd with Infellce snd Little Rsven, two
other horse thst havs Jumped over from
the Cedar Valley circuit, the 2:18 trot will
make a horse race.
The largest bill of starters will score
for tbe word In the Millard hotel stake for
2:35 pacers. Local horses in this race
will be May Bell, belonging to P. B. Halght,
that has been working around 2:30; The
Kid, with a trial of 2:15, belonging to Tom
Dennlson; Blackstrsth, a half brother to
Online, 2:04, owned by John Northcott, and
Arthur, owned by J. J. Engell. Rubber
neck and Josie Paterson, two other entries
in this class, are now on the track.
In addition to ths rsces. Ella Range, s
guldeless wonder, owned by Ed Fitzslm
mons of Fremont, will glvs dally exhibi
tions. One thing csa be said of the Omaha races,
snd thst Is that whlls the classes are not
crowded the horses ars exceptionally evenly
matched.

Fired with sn smbltlon to become strong
snd enduring, balf a dozen, at least. Of ths
Omaha boys who hope to plsy football next
year have plunged into a summer of tbe
hardest kind ot manual labor, and the pros
pects are that their ranks will aoon be
joined by others.
As soon as school wss out these boys
took immediate steps to carry into effect
plsns which tbey had laid during the
winter and spring months following their
last season on the gridiron. Whstever kind
of a lob each chanced to wish he applied
or, and so far esch one bas had success.
So that's how it comes that "Billy" En
glehart, who was captsln and star of the
Omaha High school team last fall,, and
who has been s mainstay on this eleven for
many years, is now working In a lumber
camp In Oregon. He went there as soon
as school closed, snd be bad received the
diploma tbat lets him into the next stags
of bis education, literary and athletic, a
university. It Is with tbe University of Mich
igan team that "Billy" hopes to play next
year, and when be goea to Ann Arbor In
September he does not wish any doubt to
exist about making that first team. He has
been a mighty good back for ths High
school, but he realizes that with the Wolv
erines be will be up sgalnst a different class
of stuff. The record that Coach Yoet's team
made last sesson would Indicate that It will
take not only a big man but also a power
fully athletic and clever ons to take a job
on that team in 1902. Englehart is already
a big man, but he wants a more effective
bunch of muscles and even a little more
beef, and he has gone up against lbs lumber
camp proposition to get them.
With Englehart In Oregon Is Griffiths,
who was such a valuable man on the High
school eleven till his Injury. Griffiths was
also manager of the team last year, and
carried the squsd through a smooth little
schedule. He Is now entirely recovered
from his Injury, and hopes to be In bet
ter shape than ever next year for the game.
He will play one more -season with the
High school.
Earl Marsh, the little halfback, whose
shock of blonde hair bas been so conspicu
ous In High school scrimmages for the last
few years, is another laboring man, for the
time being. Marsh, also, has completed his
course at the High school and will now
seek a prominence as marked In 'varsity
circles ss It has been lnterscholastlcally.
But Marsh will not desert the Cornhusker
state. He asks no wider fields for his grid
Iron ambitions than be can find right In
Nebraska, and the State university will
therefore count bim among Its freshmen
snd smong its csndidates for foot ball
places next fall. Marsh's sole drawback Is
his size, but he hopes to remedy this dur
ing tbe summer months by laying on a lot
of beef at the arduous toll of digging post
boles, for that Is ths occupation be bas
chosen as a body-builder. Even now Marsh
is out near OaVland. Neb., with a line gang
Of tbe Nebraska Telephone compsny, and
he hopes to wax so strong that he will
make a fierce fighting quarterback, or even
a light half, for the Cornhuskers when the
time comes.
With Marsh Is Robinson, who will not,
however, lesve Omaha after his term of
post-hole work is completed. Instead he
will remsln in this city and play again on
the High school squad. Robinson has not
been In the game so long as tbe others
mentioned, but be is a promising candi
date for future honors. He believes that
handling the pick, spade and augur will
give him a back of steel springs and arms
and legs ot leather.
Two more High school lads sre to become
laborers for the once. They sre Earl Ster
rlcker snd Hayes, and both of them will be
back with the team again in the fall. These
boys are also with the telephone company,
but In a different location. Tbey are near
Norfolk, Neb., and are engaged In setting
poles with a line gang. Both are already
young fellows of good frame and consid
erable strength, but tbey sre set on im
proving If possible, and think tbe heavy
work In the outdoor air which tbey sre now
getting will do it. Although they have
made public no such Intentions, it msy be
thst they plan to get In such shape that
they can plant their opponents point down
Into ths frozen earth next fall without
the preliminary of any digging.
Tbla list of boys who are seeklrg tho
hardcet kind of work in order to make
good foot ball condition does not Include
all those who are preparing fur the fall
to come. There srs others who aro crazy
to do similar things, but are kept at borne
by tbe restraining word of parents. And
ther ars still others who hunted jobs
In Omsha at once, and who are working
here aa hard as the boys out with the
gsngs.
The whole thing Is intensely Interesting
ss showing how the spirit of the sport is
growing every year. Five years ago ajch
a thing ss summer preparation for foot
ball In the fall was unknown in Nebraska,
even at the Stste university, and It was
not so long before tbst when It was al
most Impossible to get tbe players to train
conscientiously even while the actual play
ing aeason was on. But gradually the rlgldl
rules or the eastern schools snd the In
creasing popularity of the game spread
west, and low we bave boya In the high
achools even working all the year rcunl
for that one short season of foot ball. And
to show bow really keeu the boys sre after
the resl old labor Itself an incident which
occurred In connection with the giving
ot ons of these six bis job will serve. This
youth approached an official of tbe tele
phone company and applied for work.
"Well, I think I can glvs you something
bere ln the office at ones, aa I happen
to havo a vacancy," replied the telephone
man.
"Not for me," replied the student. "I
want no office job. I'm looking for some
work. Give me an outdoor job handling
something heavy."
So that boy went on the line gang as a
common laborer, and will sleep in a tent
all summer and do ths hardest kind of work
when he might ss well bave been sluing
all day In a cool office snd living st home.
Those who ars Interested In these boys
srs wondering If they will persevers In
tbelr chosen lines of summsr work, cr
whether they will be given their fill in a
short tlms snd return home. This possi
bility recalls the similar snd which cams
to a llks adventure on tbe part of some
University of Nebrssks athletes In li'ii.
Thess young mea wanted to get strong
and stay to, and they took advantage of
a demand for laborers along ths Burlington
system up In Montana. Tbe railroad people
hauled ths students up free from Lincoln
and they war put In a grading gang. Of
the four men who mad the trip on merely
looked at tbe mules and scraper bs would
have to drive, and then resigned. Another
worked on day, another three and the
fourth stuck all summer, but It wss be
cause tbey mad him timekeeper on the
sscoad day. Ths (area wbo cam back said

"She had suffered from indigestion and stomach trouble for years," he says,
"finally I induced her to try Kodol and she got better at once. Now, at the age
of seventy-six, she eats anything she wants, remarking that she fears no bad effects
as she has a bottle of Kodol always handy."
If women understood that the diseases to which so many of them are subject are
due to indigestion there would be fewer Invalids among them.
The trouble is, so many people persist in doctoring the symptoms and not the
disease. Strengthen the stomach and you regulate every organ of the body.
Weak stomachs are responsible for most kinds of ill health.
Cathartics and purgatives don't help. They may temporarily clear the decay
ing, undigested food from the system, but the next meal makes matters as bad as
before. In such cases a preparation like Kodol is needed, which, by digesting what
you eat, keeps the body properly nourished while the stomach rests. It is not neces
sary to diet. Kodol digests any good food you may eat.
After illness the stomach is weak and run down and Kodol relieves it of work,
while permitting a full allowance of food to be eaten to repair the damage done by
disease.
If you have no organic disease but only an occasional feeling of fullness with
flatulence and belching after meals a dose of Kodol will set you right at once.
Weak, puny children thrive on it. They often have indigestion, too. It is
not necessary that they should suffer. They need good, wholesome food but their
stomachs are to weak to digest it. Kodol digests it for them without the stomach's
aid. This plan is much better than feeding them any of the many predigested foods,
which usually cause considerable fermentation and result in excessive acidity or what
Is commonly called sour stomach.

Workmen building a new house at Colum

Here they found a cat, still allvs, but worn

the affair was thst ths cat bad eaten

ths three weeks she had been a prisoner.
The feline bad evidently strayed into the

In Russia no man may enter a govern

It sppesrs, since tbe establishment of the
government spirit shops. There have been
disputes between tbe officials behind the
bars and the customers ss to the removal
of the headgesr, with the result that ths
question was submitted to tbe minister of
finance. That official haa caused notice to
be issued warning the public agslnst sny

Coincidents of a ludicrous charactsr ars
liable to occur on tbe most solemn occa

Christian Advocate relates thst Rev. C. R.
Moses of Virginia, a Baptist prsacher of
considerable renown, once spent a Sunday
In Richmond, soon after bs bad visited the
beautiful regions around Mountain lake, in
Giles county, Virginia. Being Invited by
one of the city pastors to preach, toward
the close of the sermon bs gsve aa sn illus
tration a vivid description of ths wonderful
Isndscape scenes which he bsd Just beheld
and as bs closed called on the choir to sing
something of thIr own selection. They
struck up ths old hymn beginning, "There
Is a land of pure delight," but when they
reached tbe fourth stasia these words con
fronted tbem: ' '
Could we but stand where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er.
They tried to sing, but broke down. Ths
congregation followed their example and
ths service closed la general merriment.
Notwithstanding the delightful harmony

end of It, because It Is silly and never sin
cere. "Why bid ths clasa 'farewell when most
of 'em will stay right bere snd plug round

"And why gush over tbs teachers, when.
If they spoks truly, tbey would call 'em
