tha game with Lincoln, which was won
by tha Itourke famllr by tha acora of I to
1. Ha demonstrated tha fact that Pa
Rourke has made a food )ate-seaeon pur
chase, for ha showed that ha ta rcraad
In all branch of tha' ram. Besides
hitting- tha ball safely tt moat opportune
tlinea, bringing In a run aaoh time, he
cored a run himself arid In doing- ao
proved to tha fani that ha knew what to
do on tha baaea and how to do It, for ha
la a (peed? Chap and haa hla eyas open.
Ha captured ona hard fly and one easy
na and at bat waa tha hit of tha day. Ha
does not draw baak from tha ball, but.
battlar left-handed, he grasps hla hat
In tha proper fashion an hlta hard, gen
erally with good reaulta. Ha drove ona
stinger on tha ground, to apeedy that
neither Fox nor Thomas could reach it
and hit another hard liner orer Fox's
head. -,
Morgan, Pa'a other recruit, waa also
on hand, but did not participate In tha
game, almjly warming up with tha team
and taking the coaching Una, occasionally.
He haa a good wing and tha fana were
anxious to aea him In tha game. Ha look
Ilka a speedy chap.
McKay ta Hit Hard.
McKay did not hare bis. horseihoe with
him Wednesday, aa , ha did last week
' when ha held the Rourke family to two
. hlta In eleven Innings, and aa a conse
quence ha was hit hard and moat of the
runs mada were earned. Thompson, on
tha other hand, had things All hla own
way and kept the hits scattered, two be
ing made In but on Inning. The entire
Omaha team seemed- to outclass tha Duck
lings and played rings' around them at
very stage of the proceedings. ' Tha
grounds were quite slippery and this made
fast base running out of tha question.
Omaha lit right Into McKay In tha nrst
Inning and hit In enough- runs In that
round to win tha game. -Captain Franck
made a start with a two-baae drive' to
left flold. He went to third on Autrey'a
Infield out and then aoored ,on Welch's
drive against tha right' Held fence for
two sacka. The ball waa a high ona
and Just missed going over tha fence by
a couple of feets King waa the next
man up, and the fana were anxloua to
ea If he could make good and drive
Welch home. He did. Graham struck
out and tha first spasm waa over.
The Ducklings made their only run In
the fourth Inning.- Reddidit opened out
with a single, was aacrtflced to second
by aagnler and came home on Bulllvan'a
. double; ' ' ' ''
Itonrkee Score) Without Hit.
The Rourke family 'got that run back
in the same Inning without a hit. King
was hit by McKay. Graham bunted to
McKay, who threw to second, but Haskell
called King safe. Austin did exactly tha
some thing and the bases were filled, with
no ona out. Gondlng fouled out ' and
Thompson knocked the ball to ahort, who
let King score hnd caught Graham at
third. BeJdcn'a Infield roller ended tha
tnnlng. .
In tha fifth. Inning Autrry singled and
Welch walked. .King !.., r, u.trey home
With hla single and Qrh.t.;i struck out.
Austin drove Welch home with a single
and Oondlng waa an easy out. Two more
runs wera all that were captured after
that, for McKay tightened up, and but one
Ingle waa made oft hla delvery In the
next three Innings. Nor was Thompson
In any danger after that fourth Inning
In which a run waa made.
Tha same teams play thla afternoon,

which Anally culminated In a general
downpour, the first rain In the Immediate
vicinity for more than a month.
Governor Sheldon started things going In
a happy and appropriate speech of twenty
minutes or more, which waa listened to by
a large crowd of people. The display he had
witnessed of the agricultural products of

make an unusually good short speech.
After the governor's address, the throng
rushed to the track, where the program of
races In the state firemen's tournament waa
being held. It Is estimated that over 2,000
people witnessed the events.
The program was carried out In Ita en

BUCK FRANCK HERB NEXT YEAR
Heady Little Manager Wilt Ram Team
Another Season.
"I have come to an understanding with
Pa Rourke for next year and expect to
return to manage and captain the team
for another year," said Captain Buck
Franck at the Smoke House. "I have
signed no contract, but Rourke and I have
a complete understanding and that la but
a matter of form. Our relations have been
most cordial and .1 would like to return
another year to see If we could do as well
aa we have thla season.
T think we have a good one In Kmc
and In a week or so when his nervousness
wears off he should be the goods. At any
rate we will work for a time with the
same combination we used In the Lincoln
game Tuesday, when we walloped Mr.
Clcotte. Autrey played a great game on
first."
Local fans ara more than pleased with
the decision of Franck to accept the offer
of Pa Rourke for another year because
his management of the team has been
above criticism. He has done things which
did not meet with the approval ot the
fane at the time, but hla judgment has
shown In the end to have been all right.
He Is the headiest player that ever wore
an Omaha uniform and Pa relies entirely
upon his judgment In handling the play
era on the field and In choosing those who
are to work for the day.

Former Mayor Enda Life.
SPRINGFIELD, III.. Aug. 28 M. F. Cox,
formerly mayor of Wavarly, III., commit
ted suicide here yesterday by taking
strychnine. In a note left, Cox stated that
he waa unable to agree with his wife and
death was preferable.
When the blood becomes infected with unhealthy ' humors the effect is
shown on the skin in the form of pimples, rashes, eruptions, or some other
type of skin disease. These humors circulating in the blood, come in con
tact with the delicate tissues and fibres of the skin and produce irritation
and inflammation, and often excessive itching and burning. Trying to cure
skin troubles with external applications is treating the effect instead of the
cause. Such treatment perhaps allays some of the itching and discomfort,
but does not reach the blood where the real source of troubles lies. A thor
ough cleansing of the blood is the only cure for humors in the blood.
S. S. S., a gentle acting, safe blood purifier, is the proper treatment. It goei
down into the circulation and neutralizes the humors and removes them from
the blood. S. 8. S. supplies the blood with the fresh, healthy properties
necessary to sustain the skin and keep it free from disease. 8. S. S. cures
Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, pimples, boils, rashes, and all other
8k in affections and diseases, because it purifies the blood and removes tho
humors which are responsible for the trouble. Book on Skin Diseases
