OMAHA WINS RUBBER GAME
Imiriou Aaeoiatian Champions Rolltd in

SEVENTEEN LONG HITS OFF KELLUM
Brown and Owen Divide Work for
Homr Trim and Hold the Hoos
lers Safe at All Stanee
of the Contest.
rive thousand people turned out Sunday
to see Omaha take the rubber Rme from
Indianapolis, and the Rangers more than
did It. Eight to one waa the final score
. . i i v. ..i.itnr. I
ana irom la. in u
were never In the running for a tninite
It waa then that the Gate City defenders
aecured a veritable avalanche of hlta and
runa, and after that the game waa a pro
eeaalon. with the Hooslers so aggravated
at losing out o early and ao hard that
they took It out on the umpires, the player
and the crowd In 111 natured bceflng.
Every run of the eight Omaha made was
earned, while the fact that the vlaltori
cored at all was due entirely to a very
yellow decision of Vmplre Moran on third
bass In the fourth Inning. Seventeen hlta
was the total amassed off the star twlrlcr
of the American League pennant winners,
and every local who went to bat contributed
to that aggregate. Meanwhile Brown and
Owen spilt up the box work for Omaha be
tween them, and Mordecal allowed but
three singlet In five Innings. Owen two
more safe onea in the succeeding four.
Till the third Kellura waa a riddle, and
even then there was nothing doing till
after two outs were registered. Oenlns
had singled himself to first, but when
Wright came to bat no cne expected any
tallying ao late In the Inning. The first
baseman started a run of hits that beat
anything Omaha has ever done for sequence.
Not a base on balls or gift of any kind
marred the string. Seven In a row they
came, and Oenlns further up made eight for
the Inning. Meanwhile six men scored.
Dolan lilts a Homer.
That streak of batting was the feature
of the game. Dolan waa the eapecial lumi
nary with a home run, and tho rest were
mostly singles, with a two-bagger by
Thomas. It waa clean bitting every time,
and after a while It seemed that Kellum
would never check It.
From then on the locals kept on batting
freely, earning a run In the sixth and an
other In the seventh. For the Hooslers Fox
cored In the fourth because Moran said
Oenlns did not touch blm between second
and third. Fox had singled, and had gone
to aecond on the gift base secured by Coul
ter. Then "Dummy" Kthm batted the ball
to Genlns, who made for Fox to cut him
off from third. Fox left the lno and
vaded him, and It was too late to Meld
Xlhm out at first. The next ball waa
batted to Dolan at short, and Fox scored
while K'hra was being thrown out at second.
The fielding of Captain Stewart of the
Omaha team was a feature of the day. He
' covered all of his territory and more. As
an Individual phenomenal play Genlns' cap
turing of Klhm's high foul agalnat the
bleacher fence in left field In the sixth waa
the limit. Score:
OMAHA.

of the company produced twenty-five bars
of bullion, valued at $537,723.79. the greater
part of which had heretofore been lest to
the company. The proceeds from the con
centrates trested amounted to $430 48. The
monthly average of ore milled has been 101,
607, or about 3,850 tons a day. Th'a ore
hod yielded $3.68 a ton net. The monthly

At the present ttme the plant Is treating
110 tone of ore a day, but, beginning with
next week, this will be pushed up to 150
toes daily, the full capacity of the plant.
The B. M. Bald Mountain System of rail
road has been completed to the Reel prop
erty of the company and ore to meet the
additional demand will be easily secured.
Plans are being made to Increase the ca
pacity by ths addition of tanks and crush
ing machinery to make it a 300-ton plant.
This plant has, since the first week It was
started up, been one of the most successful
In the Black Hills.
The Imperial cyanide plant is running but
one shift a day and treating about eighty
five tona of ore. The mill is making regu
lar semi-monthly cleanups and the aver
age la about $7,000. The plant will soon be
in ahape to run to Its full capacity and, with
two thlfts at work, will treat 150 tona of
ore dally.

Itinera' Mlrneuloua Kaeape.
An accident happened at the working
of the Castls Creek Mining company's
ground near Mystic this week, in which
four men had a miraculous escape from be
ing blown to atoms by exploding giant
powder.
The men were working In a tunnel near
the mouth of which was situated the
powder maizlne. There were In the party
Superintendent Clark of the company, Mine
Foreman Thompson and two miners. In
the magazine was stored 1.200 pounds of
giant powder and 800 detonating caps. The
men had been at work but a short time
when one of them looked around and ex
claimed: "My God, the magazine is on
fire," and fainted. The superintendent
and the foreman took In the situation at a
glance, and knew that to remain In the tun
nel meant death should the fire get to the
powder. So they picked up the uncon
scious man and started for the outside,
and Just tben the other man collapsed, so
he had to be asMstod. The party had Just
reached the magazine when the 800 capa
went off with frightful force. Fortunately
none of them was hurt, so they resumed
their way to the outside and safety, wonder
Irg why tho giant powder had not ex
ploded and blown them to atoms. They
waited on the outside for an hour or two
and then ventured Into the tunnel to look
at the damage, and discovered that the
giant powder had burned Itself out, and
nothing remained of It but a mass of melted
slag-like stuff.
SETTLERS COME OUT LOSERS
'an Secure o Title to Much of Lund
Purchased from the
Indians.
PIERRE, 8. D., Sept. 28. (Special.)
When the Sioux reservation wsa opened to
ettlement sections sixteen and thirty-six
n earh township waa reserved, under the
provisions of the bill, to the school lands
of the etate, but any Indian tn taking his
allotment was allowed to go upon such
sections with the state being given the
right to take Indemnity lands for any such
selections by such Indians. A number of
these Indian allotments have since the
time of the opening of the reservation
been relinquished by the Indians, and
whites have made homestead entries on
the same tracts, and In some cases Im
provements of considerable value have
been placed thereon. Under a recent rui
ng of the commissioner of the general
land office, all such filings are void. His
holding In effect being that as soon aa
tho Indian allotment was relinquished the
tract became state land, and ae such was
not subject to entry. The only exceptions
o this was where the state had made
indemnity selections for the tracts. This
ruling will cause trouble for those who
have bought the Indian rights on such
state land sections, aa the state has no
power of relinquishment of its title except
through sale.

IlNDDN. Sent. 28. The fact that the
Bank of England's rate of discount. 8 per
cent, today remains unchanged from the
figure quoted of the laKt eight months
caused undisguised satisfaction and Im
parted a feeling of steadlneaa to a situation
which Is otherwise regarded aa decidedly
uncertain. In all other quarters the value
of money lias risen persistently. The an
nouncement that the bank had no Imme
diate Intention of raising Its rate of dis
count had no visible effect In making
money easier. Brokers' rates have risen
to 3 and 3" per cent and In consequence
of this rise much discount business Ih going
to the Bank of Kngland. The nann s rate,
however, rarely fails to rise in October, the
position of the bank remains strong, for
the reserve and bullion are less than a
year ago, the totals are several million
Doundu hia-her than Is usual at this time
of year. That exchange haa not been weak
ened by the American neea or goia is at
tributed to New York's Inability to draw
freely on London, owing to the heavy
American credits which already have been
opened In Europe. Of the gold taken out
of the Bank of England recently a con
siderable portion haa gone to South Amer
ica, the demand there having assumed Im
portant dimensions. The depression In
shares was more than ever accentuated
last week, and the shrinkage In values de
veloped In some cane8 to really alarming
alumps In investments hitherto considered
unassailable. The downward movement In
British railroad shares and consuls have
been unable to survive the general weak
ness. I.lttle Rneenraarement for Berlin.
BERLIN. Sept. 28 All the financial re
views point out that the market here has
been watching Wall street throughout the
last week with the keenest attention and
say the prospects for speculation here are
not regarded aa bright. The continued
prosperity of the I'nlted States awakens
Increasing Interest In the American situa
tion. The gene-al tenor of financial com
ment Is full of dlstruHt. nevertheless the
Krankf urter Zeituiig. which all along has
been tikeptlcal of the Wall street boom, has
admitted that Europe, and particularly
Germany, has underestimated the atrength
of the American market and has taken
fright too soon. The paper says that all
reports which are now being received here
from American bankers agree that In view
of the market's strength, excellent crops
and forthcoming large financial protects, no
crash Is feared in America. These ssaur
ances have given the German market a
feeling of safety, nevertheless apprehension
tit 1 1 1 exifts here and it Is causing the out
side public to stand entirely aloof from
speculation. New York was actively seek
ing money here last week, offering per
cent interest and high commission. Most
department of the Berlin market showed
de lines last week, but without pronounced
wtakness The rlhe In money rates de-
preased domestic and foreign loans. In
dustrial shares were mostly lower durlne
the week. The announcement yesterday of
the fal.ure of the Kheinan-Mannhelm 1 h-m-tcul
company, which was accompanied by
revelations cf forged balance aheets fur
eifht years past, made a painful impres
aiun on the market

CATTLE There were several cars of
cattle In the yards this morning, but there
were not enough of them offered to make
a market. For the week receipts show a
decrease as compared with last week's
record-breaking run, but as compared with
the corresponding week of last year there
Is a aood Increase, as will be seen from
the table above. The Increase for the year
to date amounts to over 100,000 head. More
than that, the supply so far this year Is
only about 168,000 head short of the total
receipts for last year, so that at the pres
ent rate, by the end of October the
deficiency will be nearly made up, or, in
other words, . receipts are nearly two
montha ahead of last year.
There have not been - enough cornfed
steers In the yards this week to tell any
thing about the true condition of the mar
ket. Anything desirable though, has met
with ready sale at what looked to be
about steady prices and practically all that
can be said of the market Is that It Is
nominally steady. Warmed up cattle, of
course, have not sold very freely, as the
packers prefer westerns to that class of
corn feds.
The cow market Is In about the same
position It was a week ago. The first half
of the week values picked up a little, but
Tuesday and Wednesday proved to be the
high days of the week and on Thursday
and Friday the gain was just about lost,
so that prices are now where they were
at the close of lost week.
Bulls, veal calves and stags are also
selling In practically the same notches
they did a week ago.
The stocker and feeder market has been
In good ahape all the week. Good to choice
cattle of all weights may be quoted fully
steady. Speculators say they never saw a
time when the country buyers dis
criminated against common cattle to the
extent that they are this year. Every
body seems to want cattle of good quality,
no matter of what age or weicht. Year
lings of good quality have sola to much
better advantage this week than they did
last. Common cattle, though, of all
weights have sold very slowly and if any
thing are a little lower than they were a
week ago.
Although the big bulk of the cattle this
week consisted of western rangers the pro
portion of beef steers was not at all large.
The feature of the trade seems to be the
unevenness of the prices paid, and as a re
Bult there Is considerable difference of opin
ion as to the position of the market . as
compared with a week ago. As a general
thing, however, the best grades may be
quoted fully steady with last week, but
very few of that class have been coming.
The top price for the week Is $5.45, but
they were choice. The medium gradea of
cattle are the ones that have suffered and
they are safely 15c lower than they were
a week ago. Cattle on the Texas order are
also lower for tne week. The very common
grades have not shown much change. Good
western feeders of all weights are also fully
steady for the week and have sold freely.
The medium and common kinds, though,
have been neglected and are unevenly
lower. Range cows are Just about steady
with the close of last week, the advance of
the first half of tne ween naving oeen
largely lost.
HOGS There was a light run of hogs
here today, but as reports from other
polnt3 were not favorable to the selling In
terests the market opened about 6c lower
than yesterday's average, or about steady
with yesterday's close. Later In the morn
ing the feeling became a little better and
a good many hogs sold only a shade lower
than yesterday's general market. The ex
treme close, though, was hardly as good as
the middle of the market. The bulk of the
sales went from $7.35 to $7.35 and as high
aa 87.45 waa uald.
As will be seen from the table of receipts
above the receipts for the week show an in
crease over last week, but a decrease over
the same week of last year. The first half
of the week prices advanced materially,
but for the past three days the market has
been going down rapidly and the decline
amounts to nearly 35c, and a compared
with the close of last week the market Is
fully 6c lower. Representative sales

SHEEP There were only about six cars
In the yards this morning and they were
mostly feeders. The market could be
?uoted Just abojt steady with yesterday so
ar ss the feeders were concerned. Packers,
though, did not seem to caru wnether they
got anything or not. For tne week recelpta
have been liberal, as a good gain is noted
as compared with the aame week of 'a.-t
year, but there Is a decrease as compared
with tho 4lK run or last week. 1 ne taoii
above will show the exact llgur The In
crease for the year to daie aviiiounta to
nearly 15 HOG bead.
Tha market has been In good ahape all
the wotk oa lal kheep and aanibs an J
prices may be quoted a little stronger
Lambs In partleulsr have Improved and In
some cases sale were made at the close
of this week that looked luiflSc higher than
the same kinds brought a week hko. The
supply of fnt stuff did not seem to be any
too heavy to meet the demand, so that the
prices paid were very satisfactory.
The supply of feeders, however, was very
heavy and as a result nil but the best
grades broke l.Vh2fc. Choice yearlings proh
ably did not sell over n dime lower, but the
general run of feeders, both sheep and
lambs, have declined safely l.VS'.V'C.

India are waiting the time wh-n producers
shall be more yielding, for execution. The
continued news of good weather and crop
prospect in India promise Improvement In
the outlook in rhe near future. The China
trade was quieter and confined to closing
up old Unas. The advances are restricting
