OMAHA NO MATCH FOR SIOUX
Tommy Mills' -Warriors Taste Bitter
Defeat from ioux City Team,
24 to 17. N .
CAN'T LOCATE THE BASKET
Inability to shoot "baskets with any de
gree of accuracy was retponsible forjthe
defeat of the Omaha High school basket
ball warriors administered by Sioux City.
,The five from up thoy river played all
around the 'locals and won handily, 24
to 17.
Omaha was, woefully weaK at flipping
baskets. In no game this season did
theys evince such a 'propensity to
shoot wild. Time and again they hurled
the leather sphere against the backboard
only to miss and miss badly even though
directly under the, hoop. On the other
hand the Sionx C4ty nude the most of
opportunities and when their forwards
were given the ball at a place of van
tage, they flipped it In.
Worth, a lean, lanky youth at center,
was the thorn of the locals. In a couple
of steps the Worth person would glide
ffom the center of the floor to the basket
and push the ball In with apparent ease.
Engstrom played a mighty good guard
ing game, but,Worth and his long steps
scaped him five times. s
Omaha made a dozen fouls, Paynter
being the particular offender.' He was
oaught five times. Lutes was nipped four
times, Paynter was the ony Oman an
to make h's quota of baskets. He made
the three expected of a center.

IN THE STATEHOUSE CELLAR
Tragic Fate that Befell Beautiful
Belle Who Had to Work in
a Dung-eon.'
DEDICATED TO PURE ECONOMY
I (By a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. - Feb. 14.-tSpecial.)-Th
state house basement, low-celllnged, damp
and Illy ventilated, does not furnish the.
most pleasant quarters In the world In
which to work, according to the clerks,
especially those of the feminine sex who
are employed Jn the offices located there.
When the legislature comes many of
the state offices are forced to move out
of pleasant quarters to otherwise unusued
rooms about the building. These quarters
are but temporary and with this, one
Solace the emigres must be' content. '
"In passing," and the phrase Is used
advisedly, one young woman employe hasj
however, given voice to her sorrow In a
threnody of stirring pathos. The poetess,
whose Identity Is concealed, hag gained
some fame by the sale of other verses.
The "Cellar Sobs" are In ten verses, ai
follows:
Listen, friends, and you shall hear
Of a story sad and drear.
And- you'll shed a briny, tear,
That I know: ,
For It maketh strong men weep, '
Olves them -spooks and loss of sleep.
Makes the nerves go creepy oreep ,
With it woe. '
Once there lived a maiden fair,
Blue of eye and brown of hair, I
Tall she was. a helgh most vrare,
- Monstrous blgl
For the state she Went to work,
Not to dawdle or to shirk, t
Nor to gossip or to smirk, .
But to dig. ., v " '
c . i.
Faithfully she worked and well
Did this long and lanky belle,
That Is why I hate to tell
How she fared.
For they chunked her In the cellar.
Where she daily grew more yellor.
Did she weep and wall and bcllerT
No one cared I ,
So she went from day to day
Down the smelly hall and gray
And met spectres on her way
Block and grim;
Odors, upliler-webs and hats,
Dust and damp, and weird, black cats.
Lizards, bugs and sewer rats, .
Lean and slim. '
Germs she swallowed by the peck, ,
Big fat Juicy germs, by Heck! x
And became a nervous wreck ,.
Pale with fear.
She who used to be a winner
Thinner grew, ye gods, still thinner,
Till you'd swear she had no dinner
For a year.
Well, at last the family's pride
Lav her down UDon her side
And one dreary night she died
,A11 alone.
Came the state house rats In flocks
And they "chewed her dark brown locks,
Ate her clothes e'en to her socks,
Gnawed her bones.
When the Janitors appeared
In the morn, a thing more weird
Than they'd ever seen or heercd
Struck their stght;
For the girl who once was Belle
Sure enough had gone to hell.
Bones alone were left to teU,
Stark and white.
So they gathered up the mess
That once sported a blue dress v .
And with fitting solemnrss -
Laid her low.
Thejr tobk out a few big. stones
Prom the floor and put her bones
There, and with some sighs and moans
Let her go.
Now they say that H Is true
That at night time, dressed in blue
Does she walk the long hall through
And she shrieks;
And Calls curses on the head
Of the ones that made her dead,
Olves them nightmares to their bed, v
Weeks and weeks.
i -
And so every wretched feller ".
W ho helped wend her to the cellar.
Where that gruesome fate befell her,
Pays his due.
For she's taking out her spite "
And they're ncein' things at night
Long and hulry things that bile
And that chew. i
