The second day of elimination In the In
tercollegiate hasket hnll championship held
tinder direction of the T'nlversltv of Ne
braska resulted in some of the hest names
ever seen on the local field. The gsmes
were more closely contested than on the
previous day. an the' preliminaries hail nar
rowed down to the leaders.
Omaha High had Utile difficulty In dis
poning of Its second opponent, thus secur
ing the rlKht to plav In the third serifs. It
defeated the Aurora High school by the
score of 27 to 14. The score at the end of
the first half stood 11 to 7. the play being
nearly even. In the second half the su
perior endurance of the Omaha boya, to
gether with fast team work, enabled them
to secure a safe, lead and the Ramp was
never In doubt.
The prettiest game of the tournament
was played between the Wllhcr and York
High schools, the teams being evenly
matched as regards team work and In
dividual play. For Wither Trucha proved a
wonder, but even his dazzling playing
scarcely excelled that of tho York captain,
Wiley. The Wllher forward secured seven
goals from field while Wllley secured six.
The final score of the game was 24 to 22,
for W'llber. and It was anybody's game
up until the final whistle. York worked
hard to overcome, the lead obtained, but
could not offHet ITucha's brilliant playing.
IJncoln played almost all of Its second
team against Clarks. The game was alow.
The score stood 11 to 10 In favor of Lin
coln, but the latter team made no effort to
exert Itself.
South Omaha defeated Schuyler by the
scorevof 22 to 11. The game was fast and
waa characterized by the pretty team work
of th eSouth Omaha lflgh school.
Another game which kept the excltment
at the highest pitch was that between
Sidney, the champions of wetsern Ne
braska, and Geneva. Sidney failed to show
form In the first half, but came back
strong In the final and tame nearly over
coming the lead of the Oeneva team. The
flanl score waa 23 to 18 for Geneva, Within
the last five minutes of play Sidney made
a strong bid for the game and scored a
basket Just before the final whistle.
Beatrice drew the bye. there being eleven
team to floor during the afternoon, and
thus enters the third series.

With th statement that the attorneys

against Chief of Tollce Donahue for al
leged dereliction of duty. W. J. Connell
opened his argument yesterday afternoon
'n the final rounds of the ouster proceed

claring that the attorneys had utterly
failed to make a rase against the chief.
He took the floor at S p. m. and for two
hours offered decisions of the supreme

effect that the evidence offered by the
state to prove the charges was Immaterial
and without effect.
Arguments began yesterday morning, At
torney Mullen opening for the state. Mr.
Mullen took Mr. Connell to task for his
methods of cross-examining witnesses who
had been placed on the stand.
Mullen reviewed the evidence for the
benefit of the referee and stated that the
harKes had been proven beyond the
hadow- of a doubt.
Connell will finish his argument this
afternoon, after which Mullen will again
speak. The case will go to the referee

With all the care taken by the I'nlted
States government to protect Its army
secrets, the facts have leaked out. UUut
here In Omaha the reason for the troops
being sent to Mexico has been found.
It happened this way. Arthur Brandels,
one of the local dog fanciers, a short time
ago bought two Chlhuhuas, declared to
be the two smallest dogs In the world.
They weigh five pounds In the aggregate
and they cost something over $1,000.
With the revolution in Mexico the trouble
arose. By no hook or crook was Mr.
Brandels able to get the dogs past the
Mexican rebels, who Just delight In costly
dog flesh. Five pounds Into 81.000 makes

There are hopes that it may be possible
to get the two prise winners to thla city
In time for the big Omaha Dog show, for
that waa where Mr. Brandels wished es
pecially to show them. In the meantime
he has the solemn promises of all the
troops who left Omaha that they will look

White Men on Cincinnati, New
Orleans A Texas Want Negroes
Kept in Present Places.
CINCINNATI, March -White firemen
cf the Cincinnati. New Orleans ar Texas
railroad struck at 7 o'clock In response to
an order from a committee of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men. The action waa taken by the union
after a long conference with T. C. Powell,
vice president of the railroad, had failed
to result In an agreement.
While the union officials were busy send
ing out the strike orders Mr. Powell dic
tated a telegram to Washington In which
he asked mediation of the federal authori
ties under the Frdmtn act. The union
officers, upon being Informed of this, said
they would not join In a request for media
Hon, aseertlngr that their experience had
led them to ballev that th men would
los rather than gain by such a course.
The strike Is due to a dispute aa to the
status of negro firemen. The union claims
that the working agreement with the road
Is such that the negroes are ineligible to
do any work except on local and slow
freight trains and on yard engines. The
railroad disputes this and asserts that
their negro employes are entitled to a
promotion on the same terms aa the white
men. About 220 firemen ar on th roster
of the road.

RHEUMATISM!
PURIFYING THE BLOOD J
THE ONLY PERI IAKOIT OJHE
No case of Rheumatism was evej
cured except by a thorough pnrificaj
tion of the blood ; jnt a Ion; as the!
blood remains charged with ferment
lag uric acid poison, the painful dis
ease) will continue. The pains and
aches of Rheumatism are nimply pui
.perficial effects of the impurities irsj
the circulation, and sometimes way
be temporarily relieved by the appli-'
cation of piasters, liniment, hot
cloths, etc. But the person who trifles
with this dangerous disease by de
pending on local treatment alone, is
certain to pay for the mistake with
constant suffering later on. S. S. S.
cures Rheumatism in the only way it
is possible to cure the disease. It
roes down into the blood, and re-.
mores the eric acid from the circulnw ''
tion, bo that the nerves, bones, mur.- ""J
cies ana joints are lubricated and lel
with nourish
ing elements
instead of being
continually ir
ritated and in
flamed with the
sharp, uratic
impurity.
When S. S. S. :
has cleansed
and purified the
blood, the pains and aches cease, all
inflammation disappears, stiffened
muscles are made pliant, and every ,
troublesome symptom of Rheumatism
Is permanently corrected. Book on I
