Schwartz pitched twoinnlngs "in Iher

as a feather bed. The nnxt inning big
Mr. Dillon emerged from the smoke and
.did his best, which isn't much, to pull
the game out, but the Bucks batted him
on the back and banged the ball on the
noso and won out easy.
Sizing up the -Jacksonville crowd
from their playing and the way their
franchise has been skipping around it
strikes me that they have justly earned
the title of 'Messrs. Nobody of, No
where.' Wo point with pride and clean fingers
to the fact that Lincoln has as gentle
manly a set of ball players as any that
ever won a pennant. Why is this thus?
The main reason is that they play ball
with their heads as well as with their
hands and consequently do not have to
resort to bullying tactics to win a game.
Keep your eye on 'em.' Watch them
play a game and if you are not satis
fied wo will refund your money upon
payment for this notice.
The Ebrighte have had their pictures
taken in a nicely arranged group, and a
good many of the fans havb collared a
copy. Hiram, of course, ia.in the center
with his colts arranged around him in a
very, fetching manner, and tho- boys all
look as though this pennant winning
was easy. The. artist forgot, however,
to scratch on the plate, "Champions
Western Association, 1895." They can
be seen at Ed Youngs and Frank Da
Tiel'e cigar stores.
"Doc" Cronloy (whose portrait does
not appear above) is a pitcher of no
mean ability by the way, The Couuiek
mentioned this fact some' weeks ago.
He pitched for Jacksonville in their
second game of the series with Lincoln
last Saturday and won his game, not
withstanding the fact that Kimerer did
the .twirling for Ebright's bucklets.
Immediately after the game Manager
Carru there wanted to sign him but
"Doc" said nay. It if probable that
next year will find "Doc" playing with
seme professional team probably Lin
coln. Col. Tom Hickoy. the genial and ac
commodating C. T. and P. A. of the
Lincoln base ball club, is kicking his
heels -together in an ecstacy of joy at
the manner in which the pennant win
ners are playing ball 'and incidentally
because of the attendance, which is
larger than ever before.
What a merry old joeher Sandhill
Moore is! I mean the big burly, good
natured B. & M. engineer that livens up
the bleachers and jollies the players,
and the echo of whose laugh is heard
even in the grand stand. Moore thor
oughly enjoys a ball game and has the
crowd with him. A few more like you,
Sandy, and the Lincolns could win, sure.
WHEEL REFLECTIONS
Frank Putnam, a bright Western
paragrapher says: "Philosophy Hies,
when a pretty woman appears." He
might have added that every scorcher
sprints to keep up on the same provo
cation. A great deal of talk is being indulged
in about prospective candidates for the
league presidency. I nominate Kate
Field of Washington. Still she might
insist on the color line being abolished,
as "Sambo" and "Dinah" are her fav
orites. Complaint is made that women cycl
ists are, as a rule, plain in appearance.
ry good. It indicates thai the more
intelligent class of women have taken to
the wheel. On the average, plain girls
are far more intelligent and better com
panions than their pretty sisters.

There will be no National circuit meet
at Milwaukee this year. The fantastic
individual who at the last National
meet at that place imprinted his unique
methods upon the curcuit chasers by
starting theracere thus: "Is the timers
ready? Is the racing men ready? Is
the pashers-off ready? Is the starter
ready? If so bang go!" is unable to
serve tnis year. This attraction being
gone it would be useless to attempt a
meet.
A bicycle with an equipment for es
tablishing telegraphic or telephonic
communications between outlaying mil
itary posts has been brought to public
notice abroad. A roll of insulated wire
is placed at the back of. the rear jrhele
and has an electrical communicating
apparatus attached; the telegraph in
strument proper is secured by a-bracket
on the, handle bar. When laying a tem
porary line Jhe wire on the roll is made
fast at headquarters, and as the rider
goes forward itis unwound. The ridei
from time to time secures the wire to
some convenient object, as a tree, either
directly or by means of suitable insula
tors. To lay a long line the machine is
provided with means for holding extra
rolls of wire.- Bicycling World.,. -
A NEW THING IN NEBRASKA.
It has been said and well said that
tho person who makes two blades of
grass to grow where formerly but one
grew is a benefactor of the race. Pos
sibly Col. John D. Fredd, manager of
the Nebraska Hedge Company, does not
pose in the rule of a benefactor; but the
work in which he is engaged, whatever
may be the result to its, promoters, is
decidedly in the nature of a benefaction
to the state. Col. Fredd came to Lin
coln from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a few
weeks ago, with the intention of em
barking in the business of hedge plant
ing on a plan similar to that followed
on a large scale in Iowa and many
other states, and to that end he has
organized the Nebraska Hedge com
pany, to work on what is known as the
Dayton syptem. Col. Fredd comes to
Lincoln with the highest personal
recommendations, and his business
enterprise is backed by ample capital
and years of experience. The Nebraska
Hedge company proposes to the
Nebraska farmer to supply him with a
living fence that will be a valuable
permanent fixture to his farm property,
and a thing of beauty, as well. Hedges
are planted, trained and taken care of
for a period of years at a minimum cost.
A little investigation will show that the
hedges supplied by this company are, in
tha long run, the most economical and
effective fences that can be obtained,
to say nothing of their appearance.
The Nebraska farmer will find in the
hedge a landscape beau ti tier and a
grateful substitute for the barbed wire
makeshift. The company has hand
some offices in the Lindell hotel, where
Col. Fredd will be pleased to answer all
inquiries concerning the business.

LAID UP IN LAVENDER
She opens a drawer when tho house is still
When the stars are out in the quiet sky
And the jasmine blooms at the window sill.
As it used to do in the days gone by,
'Twas many a year since she laid away
Those shimmering folds, while the tears pour
eddown
And shred the lavender's ierfumed spray
With trembling hands on a bridal gown.
Thero are silver threads in her bonnie hair;
The rose-red cheek has been blanched by tears,
And gone are the smiles she used to wear.
Ere that sorrowful day in tho bygone years
When a message came in tho Maytide gay,
Whilst tho blooms were whito on the chest
nut tree
That told on the eve of her marriage day.
Her brave young lover was lost at sea.
She has sjmpathy glad for all who smile
In wear vigils of love and prayer.
With bright, brave words she will oft beguile
Tho weight that presses some brow of care.
Yet unforgottcn that long-past day,
And often and often the tears drop down.
O'er the dear, dead hopes that she laid away
Witli the lavender sprays in her bridal gown.

JUST TAKING A FL.'i BR.
The last word had been said, congrat
ulations spoken, and the Chicago wed
ding guests had flown. Down in the
refreshment room the bridegroom count
was drinking healths to himself.
"Well," said the father or the count,
"the thing appears to be handsomely
consummated."
"Oh, toler'ble," assented the father of
the heiress bride.
The father of the count flushed
haughtily.
'You do not appear to be impressed
with the dignity of the occasion,", he
said, "the grandeur of, the old world
family with which your daughter has
effected this alliance."
Mr. Hagmlut shook his head.
