It happened yestorday afternoon. One of e biggest erowds of the séason, Pprobably five thousand people, wete oh hand %o wee it done, In this vast throng Wwas an Tmmense delegation Trom the land of the | golden maire, With their high hats, Sheir red ‘Padges and the gaudily uniformod Knights of Pythias band. And how they did holler 3n flendish glee, and gobble up the #oft bets with which the air was £'ed, as the mighty struggle progressed. Among the visitors were noticed wuch sminent Towans as State Sehator Maservy, 8. Vedder, United States paymaster; O. P, Mooro, president of the Dos Moines Oil Wank company; Hon. W. B, Hamphrey, of ‘the boatd of trade; Royce Chenney, proprie- r of the Globe; Banker G.'G. Hendetson, Colonel R. L. Saunderson, W. H. Beach, wecrotary of the Sioux City club, and dorens ‘of others more of less notable in the political wird commercial world. 1t was a lovely day, one of those rare ones that happen along in this Iatitude every once n while in torrid July, A purple haze, like t of Indian summer, iay arourd the dis- Yant bluffs overhanging the sinuous Missouri, and the mellow, yetlow sunlight fell softly upon the grass, and the stray dandelions and {umps of dog-fennel in the outfeld. Tn fact the ball grounds looked almost ns lovely as they did in early summer, for the grass, in- ted by the recent rains, was fresh and grem again=like & few ball players wo HOW. 1t was n beautiful scenc. But the result of ‘the day’s struggle spoiled all, and ic is won- derful how a few hours can 80 change human feelings and human looks. The brilliant «color teft the cheeks of the Omaha gladia- tors, and they looked haggard und pale, as Faces look after some great storm of sorrow ‘has§passed over them. ere were lots and lots of ladies present, and some from Sioux City, too, and their gay toitets and flower bedeckced hats lent a pleas- h?)e“m to the picture, f the five thousand people present four thousand had gone to cheer Omaha. Nobody deemed that Sioux City could beat her again. ‘And that reminds us that the oid adage that lightning mever strikes twice in one Place, is 4 humbug and & myth. - _in the very fivst inhing Omaha made a run, w his buse on balls, stole second ‘third, midst the delightea whoops of the woncourse.

The _expensive packing plant of the Trans-Missouri, owied by Charles § Hutchinson, ~ of Chicago, has been sold to the Chicago Packing and Pro- vision company, who have purchased it with the expressed intention of greatly cnlarging the houses, putting in new ahd improved ma- chinery, and then tunning the concern to its full capacity—3,000 hogs per day, The plant has never been & paying ore o its owners, but the new proprietors propose to give it another tiial, expecting the new bridge in u Eroat IeAsuYo o Mol Siphly tho house with hogs and keep it go The new owners will bogin_improvements and make ready for operations noxt week.

The church Rll‘lul’! will be located above the Sunday school room, reacheéd by easy and broad stairways of three landings. The church will be heated with two farnaces, The whole superstructure upon a stone foun- dation will give an imposing and permanent appearance to the building.

One form in the ftont rank was looking buckward anxiously. He was tall, fair and beautiful. Suddenly his counte- nance brightened. A young woman was standing in an ambulance wagon waving her handkerchief at him, It was his betrothed, Louise Frnst, who had followed him to the He kissed his hand to her—immediately his hand flew to his head; blood spurted over his face; he fell. Louise screamed, leayed from the vagon, and strove to make her way for- d. Tt was impossible. A scidier lifted her into the wagon again and it moved vearward. It was a great battle. wars. That day amid shot and shell man’s heroism conquered ! Timid men forgot their usual death. fear and were recklossly brave. Can- nwon hoomed and musketry rattled, and patriots fell in whole ranks to vise no more. The air, full of the smoke of burning g;npowder, was hot and saffo- cating. he noise of exploding fire- arms, pealing bugles and hoarse voices was distracting. Toward night Louise Ernst found her lover, threw hersell wpon his form, he- lieving him dead, and until midnight lay upon his breast, with aching eyes she could not close, heart that beat by fits and starts, hands feeling as heavy as lead as she pushed back the blood- steined curls from that marble brow, and ever and anon pressingher blue lips against -his ice-cold cheek. Her reason was tottering on its throne, by whirling thought and passion; heart was breaking. In the distance lights flared up, flashed about, and went out again. The clear notes of bugles occasionally awoke the stillness of the battle-fiel From above the moon looked down h pale pity. and the stars tried to dart hops into her wounded heart. Carrion birds flew screaming overhead. A groan now and then sounded near her, but she was oblivious to everythwng excdept that pale, drawn face upturned to hers. Presently a crawling form approached her. Tt was that of a dark-facod, gaunt man, in tattered civilian att He stooped over everybody and picked its pocket with his long, shaking hands.

The fellow ran off, taking the keepsake with The boeautiful muid bounded afier him,groan- ing; but she had not much strength, and after going about a hundred yards, sank down exhausted by the side of an- other hody. The miscreat gave vent to another exultant laugh and ran on. Again there was silence on the field of battle. The devoted girl lay us one day—she was dazed with grief. Her face was white, with features drawn as my. Her long, thick hair lay in disor about her. The poor girk was awakened from her stupor by a commanding voice at some distance She sighed, shuddered, passed her hand over the body boside her, then looked around. A light, surrounded by moving figures, about a hundred yards off, met her sight. She murmured feebly: 3 “Iihink Karl’s body is over there. I thought he was here until now. I must go to him.” Sergeant Hunsaker, grim as Mars, was superintending the burial. of his late comrades. Fifteen bodies had been thrown iiito a shallow pit,and were now being covered with earth. Just as this work was done the patter of footsteps was heard. Turning, the soldiers saw Louise running toward them, her eyes shining in the lantern ight, hair and dress in disorder. “Where is Karl?" she cried. ‘“What have you done with bim? ~Why are (ou silent?
