[HE OMAHAS FIND A VICTIM. The Little Fellows From Wichita Downed After a Hard Btruggle Yesterday. LINCOLN LICKS THE TOPEKAS. /’ Denver Unmercifully Drubs the Cow- boys—The Penrose and Hardin Shoot—Base Ball, Races, Etc., Elsewhere. e Wichitas Lose to Omaha, 1t Was the Wichitas and the Omahas yes flerday afternoon, and the game was a great one, as neat and clean a piece of work as has been seen at association park this summer. The audience, though small, was very enthu- siastic, recognizing with 1ts plaudits the bril- liant playing of the visitors as well as that of the home team, and at the end of the minth inning everybody went home happy and sat- Istied. While she work of both teams was of _an exceptionally fine order, that of the Omahas was particularly praiseworthy, but two errors belng scored against them. , Their batting, Fshllnl and base-running were all of an order exhilerating to behold, and the crowd in attendance was the best natured onc seen there for many a day. The Wichitas, too, were on their mettle, and made the Omal hustle i the liveliest kind of a style for their little victory. Their batting was rather weak, notwithstanding they got two two-baggers and a home run, but their fielding, In & great measure, was quick, clean and decisive, and they nipped many & run that would have been scored on slovenly work. Pettiford, the Wichita pitcher, is deserving of a paragraph all by himself, for of all non- deseripts ever seen in the pointshels the reatest, His contortions, twists, convolu- jons and gyrations are enough to give the man the St Vitus dance, and to see him go through with his monkey business in the Humpty lmmnll' uniforms with which the manly forms of the Wichitas are elad, is enough to make a wooden Indian smile. As usual the Omahas broke the ice in the first inning. ~ Walsh died on first from teher, as did Messitt also, but Dick Dwyer base on Hull's error. Oh Fussel- 's clean hit to center Dwyer scored. Bader took first on balls, but Bandle ended the inning by a weak drive to shors. ed up for the visitors center for two sacks, but Dan- and Sharry retired as fast arston. In the second Krehmeyer, Genins and arston went out In_one, two, three order. 'or the Wichitas, Harding got his base ox an orror of Futselbach’s, but sharp tielding on the part of the Omaha’s prevented him from ‘elllnmln further, In_the third Walsh lined out » safe one past”short; Messitt followed with a safe Houudermleh.

Dwyer sat down on a long fl{ to left. and on hi plate, B Fusselbach hit to short hrow to first Walsh crossed the r then hit a fil.lo right, and Mes- Aitt was chught at the plate, In this ""“:5 the Wichitas scored two runs, Pettiford out from third to ftirst; Hemp hit safe toright and stole second. Daniel’s two-bagger brought him in, and on Bunday’s out. Daniels scored. Sharry retired on & weak drive to Walsh. 2 In the fourth krenmever managed to make the circult on a series of errors by the Wich- Ita infield. The visitors retired in one, two three order. In the fitth Walsh, Messitt and Fussalbach furnished the outs for Omaha, Dwyer mak- Ing a hit. For the Wichitas, Weaver went out from short to first. Pettiford was hit by the ball, stole second and was brought in by tlemp’s home run_ drive over right field fence. Daniels and Sharry then went out, both froin short to first. In the sixth Bader lined out a two-bazger, stole third as only Bader can, and on Gienins' hit to third, scored. Bandle and Krehmeyer then went to the bench on weak hits, and Genins was caught trying to score on an error, Krom this on out the Wichitas re- tired in one, two, three oraer, but the home team succeeded in knocking out the winning run in the seventh. Bartson retired from short to first. Walsh hit safe and stole second. Messitt dled in a long fly to center, beautifully caught, but re- liable “old Richard Dwyer came along with a eracking smash past Hull and Walsh ran home with the score that did the business. Fusselbach got to first on a fumble by l':;! , jand stole second, but Bader's out im, 1In the elghth it was one, two, three for Omaha, but in the ninth they succeeded in r«un“hm men on bases without being al- lowed to.score, however, o vigilant and ac- Alve were the Humpty Dumptys from south- ern Kansas, Following Is: BCORE, OMAMA, POS.

DENVER, Col., August 13.—(Special Tele- gram to the Bxx.)—The raking which the Denver public and papers have been giving the erippled ball club of this city has had a good offect us seen by to-day’s game with the Kansas City. The Denver boys played in their finest style. The way Kansas City ased the ball in the light air” had a aery emoralizing effect on them, Khret pitched one of the best games of the season and re- ceived perfect supoort, Denver batted as they are able to do and wore the Kansas City tielders out, Gorman and Silch especially batting hard.

LincoLN, Neb., August 12.—[Special Tele- Kram to the Bee.|—The opening game of the Lincoln and Topeka clubs was witnessed by 8,500 people that packed the grand stand benches and the ground. The game was " long and exciting, especially in the seventh inning, when the visitors took the lead. The reserved power of Lincoln stayed with them. ‘They pounded out a victory in the face of the rankest umpire that ever entered a ball ground. When Hart and Shaffer pounded out.a home run for the'home club the grand Mand weut wild and in the last two innings when Hart held the umpire and' the batters for scoring, the enthudlasm was great. The features of the game were the double plays, the batting of Hart and others in the home club and the one-hand catch of a liner by Herr that made one of the double plays. An excursion train came from Wahoo with a band and delegations from Crete, Weeping Water and other points were on the ground. Topeka had a larce delezation of men with money, considerable of which reached the pockets of Lincoin men. Even bets were made in the evening on to-morrow’s game and the lobby at the Capital hotel is as crowded as at a state con- vention. Efforts are being made to have a league umpire for the coming gawmes and to avoid the spectacle of roasting that the um- rlm gave the home team to-day, Excursion rains will bring an immense attendance to- morrow.

The ball game will be called at 3 o’clock this afternoon. Younfi woo1 duck are reported in unusual plentifuiness at Horseshoe Iake and sur- rounding sloughs. ‘The Omahas made fourteen hits and but one error yesterday, which atfords some idea of the finé game they played. Bandle and Harper will do the batting for the home team this afternoon, and Jumbo and paniels for the visitors. The P. and H. Rifle club are arranging for a telegraphic match with the Detroit club, to take place one day next week. Heard that Pettiford, the Wichita pitcher, used to travel as Pantaloons with the Roberts Humpty Dumpty combination, ‘The five gun clubs of Omaha embrace a membership of 300, and within their ranks are some of the best shots in the country. Maybe Bartson didn’t pitch a beautiful game yesterday. 'The boy while he has won- derful control of the ball, uses the best of headwork at all times. The double play by Walsh and Dwyer and Fusselbach yesterday afternoon was one of the best executed seén on the local grounds for lo, these many moons. So-called sportsmen are out after chicken every day, apd the young birds are being killed off in a way that calls loudly for the appoiniment of game wardens. Walsh and Dwyer both had on their bat- ting unmentionables vesterday, and they made Mr. Pettitord look more like a jack-in- nlm':o: than ever, when they stepped to the plate.

CALLAWAY, Neo., August 12.—[Special to the Brk.]—A smoldering feeling of indigna- tion atthe rulings of Judee F. D. Hamer in the murder case‘of the State vs. Gilson A. James, which was tried at Broken Bow last May, and resulted in Judge Hamer exclud- ing circumstantial evidence dnd in clearing and turning loose on the public the red- handed villain, has been fanned ifito a blaze of excitement. The murderer James, after being released, knowing that almost every citizan of Callaway believed him and his wife to have murdered Charley Hayes, one of the hardest working and best hearted young men here, and to have invented the story of Hayes getting into their bed, had the gall to come through Callaway several times as a kind of bravado, for the citizens of this vicinity intended to lynch him for the murder of Hayes if he had not been slipped away in the night. The citizens bore his insult until last night when the climax was reached. Last week every able-bodied citizen of Callaway was supenaed to Gandy, a little town some fit ty miles up in the sand hills in Logan county, to give evidence in a libel case James had brought against the editor of the Gandy paper. °t was not conducive to a good feeling fovard James. Yesterday he came hers with his family to work in Pal- mer’s bill'ard hall. This announcement that he had come to stay was too much. A meet- ing was held, and a notice was sent him to be out of town by 10. o’clock Iast night or abide the consequences. After dark men could be seen coming into town from ditfer- ent directions, and groups with & mysterious air were wathered on the principal street. It looked as if the notice meant business, and 6o _ thought the murderer James for about 9 o'clock, he said to several of the the men on the corner: “Boys, goodby 6 you are t00 many. 1 guess L'll take a walk.”” Off he went out of town, across the bridge and away in the darkness ot the night, freed by Hamer, but driven out from the habitations of respectable people by those who knew him. Subsequent to the departure of James it was ascertained by the erowd that had gath- ered that Mrs. James wassecreted at Young’s boarding house. A committee was appointed and sent to the livery barn for a team. They proceeded to the boarding house, made Mrs. James prepare for the journey and sent her under guard to Broken Bow, whose court turned her and her hbsband, who it is be- lieved to be two of the hardest characters in Nebraska, loose to insult and be en- dured by a resvectable community. After she departed the enraged crowd fired at least one hundred shots thtough Palmers billiard hall. Palmer is a_brother-in-law of James. James claims to bé acousin of the outlaw Jesse James, and pridéd himself on the rela- tionship, and thouzht to terrorize the town into qu\ellfi submitting to his residence. When the sheriff examiined him after arrest he had several bullet wounds on his body. His personal appeamtice is that of a sneak- ing villian, His looks show what he is. Hays, his victim, wes an (homest, industrious black- smith of this place,and a 'universal favorite with the citizens and farmers of this part of Custer county. Jatned came here and pre- tended to run a boarding house. By his sclieming and his wife's art it is believed by those who know the most about it that they bled young Mayes all summer, and on the night of the murder they tried to make him give up his money received - for work for railroaders to enable James to build a house on a claim he had jumped and had to get on atonce. Judge Hamer when he tried the case, a8 it would appear purposely ruled out all the circumstantial convicting evidence and James was clearad. The people who know the facts are very indignant at Hamor. Working For Sinners. FrEMONT, Neb., August 1L.—(bpecial to the BEr.|—To-day has been a day of marked and increasing interest at the Owaha district camp meeting, The people are coming from all parts of the district, bringing with them tents and tent furniture and provisions, and are preparing to stay on the ground till the close of the seasion.

One of the Oldest Inhabitants Gives a Thrilling Experionce of His Rescue from Death. —_——— From the Chicago Daily News June 23, 187 In public places, especiaily in the summer season, the eye is often attracted by neat decorations ‘which embellish chandeliers and ceilings as protection againsi those hu- man pests, the flies, which, however, serve their purpose as the scavengers of the air. The designs employed are ofttimes renll{l works of art, and the deft way in_whicl they are attachted to walls and ceilings so as to propect them; gives an impression airy lightness which is pleasing to the eye. No man has probably spent so much time in Chicago on this line of tradc as the. sub- ject of the following sketch; He has been a resident of Chicago for thirty years, coming here with his parents when only 10 years of age, and having grown up with the city his name is known to thousands of her people, Within a short time such a wonderful change has taken place in his personal ap= pearance that it has attracted the attention of his friends as well as that of a reporter, who called upon him within a day or two and obtaincd the following sworn statement Personally appeared before me, George ‘W. Hoover, No 278 West Twelfth street, who, being sworn according to law, doth_ depose and say: 'hat I have been ill for two or three years withra lung trouble, which a short time since resulted in _hemorrhage, 5o that I re- marked to my wife: I think about next fall I will finish up. That I have paid out hun- dreds of dollars in the past two years for medicine and advice, but nothing did me any practical good, ould stop coughing for an hour or so, but it would come again next day. The relief afforded me was only temdorary. I read of the numerous cures which had been effected by Dr. McCoy in the papers, and they described so closely my symptoms that I called upon him at No. 10 Park Row. Dr. McCoy told me that I hag catarrhal bronchitis, and there was serions trouble with the right lung in the form of an abscess. I was put under the treatment, and he gave me relief right away. The night sweats with whichl had beerf troubled have left me and I now rest well. I began the ‘featment on the 23d of May last, I used to cough every morning; would get sick at the stomach. 1 have been very nearly strangled trying to get something up when there was nothing to come up. Butnow I am doing splen- didly. Have a clear head. I am nof clouded up. I can travel all day and not tire out, and I can assure you my work re. quires me to go about a great deal. Iam satisfted that it I had not gone under thie treatment I should have been compelled to stop work entirely, and this is my busy T was obliged on aecount’ of my trouble to leave a very easy situation about because I could not stand the ir aud was constantly taking cold.

Interesting Evidence of a Condle ton Not to Be Trifled With, The disease from which Mr. Hoover suf- fered was catarrhal consumption. * The disease originated in a cold, which became. chronic, As a result came the formation of mucus, which was partly discharged from the head or dropped down the throat and was partially hawked up. A large portion of it, however, was swollowed, passing into the stomach and causing catarrh there. The mucus formed by catarrh decomposes, and when it reaches the.stomacii is cither absorbed in the blood, producing all manner of evil symptoms, or clse coats over the food with a slimy material, which prevents the food from coming in contact with the digestive juices in the stomach. ‘The food itself decompotes, forms gas or wind in large quantities, and cauzes a feel- ing of bloating or fullness after eating. hen the catarrh has existed in the head and the upper part of the throat for any length of time—the patient living in a district where people are subject to catarrh- al affection—and the disease has been left uncured, the catarih invariably, sometimes slowly, extends down the windpipe and into the bronchial tubes, which tubes con- vey the air to the different parts of the lungs. The tubes becomc aftected from the swelling and the mucus arising from catarrh, and in some instances becomes plugged up so that the air cannot get in as freely as it should, Shortness of breath follows and the patient breathes with labor and difllculty, In either case there isa sound of crack- ling and wheezing inside thé chest. At this stage of the discase the breathing je usually more rapid than when in hedith. The patient also lias hot flashes over his body.
