TRIED TO BLUFF THE UMPIRE. A Serions Accident at the O liscam— Miss Willinms Forced to With- draw From the Race— The Rac Omaha 15, Milwaukee 7. Tt was too cold for ball playing or for com. fort yestorday aftornoon. ‘The aggregation of fumolers from Milwaukee were especially affected by the depressea condition of the tempoerature. About ono thousand people, fnciuding more than a hundred ladies, shiv. ered through a two hours' game which placed Omaha at the head of the Wostern associa- tion. Clark and McVey constituted the vis- ftors’ battery, against Willis and Nagle for the home toam. Clark didn’t pitch any better than Grifiths did on Tuesday, but he fur- nished more amusement for the spectators by his baby bluffs at Umpire Kelly's jude- ment on balls und strikes. e was ably as- sisted in his beefing by Horr and the antedi- luvian Ezra Sutton. But kickiug dian't count, and the Brewers suffered their second defeat. The Omahas were blanked in the first fnning. For Milwaukee, Poorman was hit by the ball, stole second and third, but was caught at’ home. Morrissey got a base on balls, went to second on Alverts out at first ‘leveland, and second on Herr's hit. Mc- Vey was thrown out at first by Willis. Then luck came to the aid of the Ownhas, Walsh popped up a fly which McVey dropped, ana threw wild to Herr, giving the runner second, and Canavan brought him home by a arive over second. Cuanavan was put_out at second by the umpire's ussistance, Messitt got four balls, went to secord on Nagle's out at first, and scored on Willis" hit, which was fumbled by Clark., Strauss brought Willis in with the third run, but was caught steal- ing second. After Lowe had struck out, Sutton rapped the sphere for a two-bagger, stole third, and scored on Clark’s out at first. Poorman flow out to Canavan, ending the second inning with a score of 8 to 2 in fayor of Omaha. In the third Crooks made a hit, stole sec- ond and third, and scored on Lowe’s muff off Walsh’s fly to left. Cooney went out at first, Clevelund was caught stealing second, and ‘Walsh followed suit. ‘The Brewers gave evidence of being alive for a few minutes, and secured two runs, tieing the score. With McVey out, Lowe got a hit to left and scored on a two-bagger by the venerable Ezra, who scored after Clark had fouled to Nagle, on the throw-in of Ful- ler's long fly to Strauss. The enthusiasm of the Milwaukees was short lived. They were blanked in the next inning while Scelee's sluggers secured two more runs, lis got first on missed third strike and scored on Cleveland’s two-bagger, Strauss having per- ishea on an easy one to Morrissey. Cleveland was assisted out at third by the umpire. Crooks went to first on a hot one to Sutton, stole second and scored on Cooney’s hit to right. Walsh got a base on balls. ~Canavan went out on an easy drive to Herr. Two scores was hardly considered lead enough, 80 Messiit, in the sixth, after having first base given to him on four balls, stole his way home. Clark gave four more wide balls to Nagle, who stole second and came in on Willis' clean hit to right for two bags. Strauss’ safe hit sent Willis home, but the Trisocker was caught at second for attempt- ed larceny. There was a hole in Cievelund’s bat. Crooks and Cooney both made singles 1o right and Walsh's drive to secoud scored the Canavun's fly to right stopped the fun with ten runs to Omuba’s credit. The Brewers made another futile attempt to tie the score. With Herr and MeVey out Lowe gota base on balls aud came home on u homer by E. Sutton, late of Boston. Clark llmtl Fuller got bases and Poorman struck out. In tife seventh Messitt's ty ‘Willis’ sacrifice gave the visitors ‘a run, while Morrissey was presented with first base by Willis and came home on a passed ball after reaching third on outs at first by Alberts and Herr. McVey was thrown out at first by Crooka. In tho cighth Cleveland’s single, Crooks' base on balls, Cooney’s two-bagger ana “‘Scrapper Jack's” homer added four to Omaha’s score, making a total of fifteen, ana ending the run getting.

The bicyele race at the Coliseum last night was a chapter of accidents, the resuit of which was the withdrawal of Miss Williams from the race. 1In the start off Miss Brown, who was in the rear, ran against one of the attendants and was thrown from her wheel before she crossed the line. Jack Prince calld upon the ridors to stop. Al obeyed except Miss Williams, who ran half way around the track. In looking around, at the north end of the course, to see what the other riders were doing she ran against the wall and was thrown from her wheel. The start was de- layed ten minutes, but the riders fAnally all ot off in good shape, Miss Williams leading. She set a rattling pace and was being closely pushed by Oakes, Woods and Beauty aldwin, when her left foot slipped from the dal. The man Brown, who is attendin er, started to her assistance, but was heade off by Patsy Falion. He rushed upon the track and seized Miss Williawms' wheel by the backbone, stopping it 80 suadenly that sho was thrown headlong upon the track uu- der her wheel and Fallon. Miss Woods,who was closely following, collided with the obstruction and was thrown from her wheel, Oakes aud Baldwin luckily getting through without a tumble. Miss Wood regained her wheel and pluckily continued the race, Oakes having gained one 1ap on her by the smashup. Miss Williams less fortunate, was quite seriously bruised, and will rot be able to continue the ruce. The accident was sincerely regretted by all interested in the contest, and was due eutirely to the interference of a man who knows no more about a bicycle than a Cherokee does about the court of chancery. Miss Williams' withdrawal leaves a pretty race for first place with Miss Woods in the lead, Miss Oakes but one lap bebiud her and and Beauty Baldwin but a lap behind Oakes. The following is the score. Miles Laps Woods. ... 177 3 Oakes. ... s 1 Buldwin, 177 0 Brown. 176 2 Lewl; 4 Williams . g Armaindo. 0 Notes of Sport.

The absentees were Messrs. W cber, Spore, Felton and Clarke., In the absence of tne latter, who is president of the board, Vice President McCounell presided. ‘At a provious meeting, held last Friday night, the board met as a_committee of the whole and made a report, recommending that $300,000 bo allowed as ' an estimate for the various newséhoolsites and buildings. In this report it was proposed to hold a spec- ial election May 14 for the issuunce of the bonds. As no definite action was taken an- other meeting wis held last night and sev- eral amendments were made to tho report. Before the meeting was called to order, however, there was considerable discussion on the question of the legality of the propo- sition of submitting'the question of issuing the bonds at an election. Morris Morrison stated thut as there was A question us to vhe legality of such an olec- tion, it would be ‘better to get an opinion from the board's attorney. C. . Goodmuwm;! with this in view, sug- gested that tho board had better adjourn. A motion was made to that effect but was lost by a vote of 5 to 4. When the meeting convened Mr. Sholes moved to go into a committee of the whole for the consideration of the report made last week on_the bond question. Regarding the legality of elections heid for the purpose of issuing bonds, and' mn relation to estimates of expenses, the following sections of the school law of 1887, chapter are appended. Section 25—That the board of education shall annually, during the month of June, re- port 1o the council an_ cstimate of the amount of fuuds required for the support of the schools, for the purchase of school sites, the e on and furnishing of school buildings, the payment of interest upon all bonds issued for school purposes, aud the orcation of a sinking fund for the payment of such indebt edness, and the city council is hereby author- ized and requirea to levy and collect said amount the same as other taxes, Provided, however, that in case the purchaso of school sites and the ercotion of buildings shall - re- quire an expenditure exceeding $25,000 for any one calendar year, the auestion shall be submitted to a vote of the electors of the dis- trict, at the time and place of uny city, county or state clection; the board of e tion shall, previous to such election, designate, in at least one daily p published in the dis trict where such election shall be held, the locality of the site or sites required, and the cost of buildings to be erected thercon. Sec. 23. That the board of education may borrow money upon the bonds which they are hereby authorized and impowered to is- sue, bearing a rate of interest not exceeding 6 per cent per annum, payable anuually or semi-annually, at such place as may be mentionod upon the face of such bonds; which loan shall be paid and reimbursed in a_ period not exceeding thirty years from the date of said bonds; provided, that no bonds shall be issucd, nor question of issue be submitted to the electc without the cousent of two-thirds the mem- bers of the board of education, and be offered in open market and sold to the highest bid- der for not less than par value on each dollar; and provided farther, that no bonds' shall be issued = by the bourd without first submitting the proposi- tion of issuing said bonds, at an eloction called for thai purbose, or at any regular clection; notice whereot shall be given for at least ton days in one or more of the daily papers published within the district, to the qualified voters of said district, and if a majority of the ballots = polled at such an election shall be for issuing bonds, said board of education may issue bonds in such an amount as shall be named in the election notice. Some of the membera claimed that the two clauses were inconsjstent, but after a long discussion the conclusion wus reached that they in no wise conflicted, and that it would be perfectly proper to cali an election, The report ot the commitiee, with its recommendations for the various sites, was published in Saturday morning's Bee, The first amendment to it at last night's meet- ing was the estimate of §24,500 for retaining walls and walks around the High school, the Farnau aod Leavenworth schools, to be re- duced to 812,500, Garried. The estimato of §75,000 for an adaition to the high school was made a separate aud dis- tinct proposition fors sabmission at the elec tion, ) A" motion to strikb out the ecstimate of 5,500 for the site at I*ifth and Hickory was offered.

GRAVEYARD OF GREAT HOPES Oklahoma Proves a Mammoth Fake Worked by Land Sharks. LAMBS CORRALLED BY WOLVES, A Vast Congregation of Gamblers, Peddlers and Reckless Adventurs ers Fleccing the Deluded—A Desert of Sand. Life in Guthrie, Jeranie, April 20.—[Special Correspond ence of Tie Ber.]—If the streets of Guthrie were paved with gold and in the air wero flying diamonds instead of dust and sand, there could not be n greater rush here or moro cagerncss manifested for the posses- sion of town lots aud homesteads in this lo cality People are here from all parts of the United States and some from Canada. Many have abandoned happy homes and prosper- ous business to seck their fortunes in this newly openea territory. Within the past four days fully fifty thousand people have entered Oklahoma for the purpose of taking up land and about half as many more for the purpose of speculation. Among the specula- tors many have wade money off the multi- tudes assembled here, every butcher shop, atand is doing an immense business. All kinds of goods, wares and merchandise are very high, as is ‘always the case where the demands are greater than the supply, consequently business is profitable and liv- ing comes high. Al luxuries of life have to be dispensed with and people here ure con- tentf the bare necessitics can_be obtained, Bread, meat and black coffee, with eggs and onions for the more fortunate, constitute the prineival articles of diet. Everything hero is in state of confusion, and it is almost_impossiblo to_get a place to sieep. ‘Thousands of people are SLEEPING ON THE GROUND, some in tonts and others with no shcltor save the canopy of heaver hie nights are chilly and many persons suffer from the cold. From 200 to 500 men are always in line in front of tho postoffice tent awaiting their turn to ask for mail, and the posunaster and his clerk are so busy waiting on the thou- sanas who daily inquire for mail that they cannot proverly malse up the mails to go out or distribute those coming in. At the depot _people are constantly com- plaining of bad management and facilities and chop house, lodging tent and peanut for"obtaining froight and - oxpross, "and on two days soldiers had _to be piaced at the express ofice to preserve order wnd keep back the impa- tient crowds who had express matter in the oftice which they were in great n could not get, Absence of competition makes the express company and oad compan. very arbitrary, and ihe people have to dure it for there is no use to complain. The postoftice facilities for the 10,000 e are no better than for a vill 200, and the United States postal authovities have been very direlect in their duty to the veople who have assembled here. here is but one delivery and one clerk for all the people, and at 1o time can _mail be obtained without going with the line, which takes from two to four hours. THE SCARCITY OF WATER makes the sunburned, dusty boomers look like native Indians. No one trics to keep clean here, but all have an excellent oppor- tunity of wearing out their old clothes and getting well tanned by the sun. But never was there a better natured and more submis- o people. They put up with every hard- and all sorts of trials and inconveniences without a murmer. Occasionally, howe some poor unfortunate who sacrificed his all and left a good home to come to the land he expected to find flowing with milk and honey gives vent to his feelings in_ bitter impreca- tious upon the newspu by axag- gerated accounts of the advantages of Okla- homa, induced people to come to this placo, Guthrie is well supplicd with gambling de- vices of all kinds. There is faro and stud noker for the “bloods,” “roule! wheel of fortune and chuck-luck for the granger ¢ ment, and various skin games for the tender- feet. The streetsare crowded with zambling layouts and fakir: i and all seem to be well patronized. People here are bent on making money one way if not auother, and many men are working as cavpenters who never drove a nail before; others are peddling water, lemonade or sandwiches through the 'camp. Some are anxious wve, but are unable to buy a railrosd to get home; others are des- wnd needy, and, having neither tents thes, suffer very much from the cold. at Creel on the st wells a r is being hanied here and sold cts by the wagon load, und several being dug. HE 81 now bemg made Y8 OF GUTH how that m E ¢ of the sai- tlerd'are in the streets, and this place will either be one of the most irregularly laid out cities in the world, or else the sc of end- less it gation, unléss the bottom drops out of tha bo sooner than is expected, nod everybody moves away. Most paoplo are holding their claims with Winchesters and six-shooters—not only here, all over Oklahoma—and squatters’ rights are only recognized during the actual squat. A uumber of wild turkeys and deer have been brought into the camp. Turkeys sell at #i cach, and_venison brings from 25 to 50 ceuts a'pound. These are luxuries that ouly a few can afford, the common rabble haying to put up with bread and bacon or ham, and black coffee. Everybody here has to eat more than his share of dirt, for fine dust and sand fills the air and gets into au kinds of food. 1t is a bad place for a dainty or fasti- 16 person, for the rough fare andgeneral inconveniences try even the hardiest and rouguest pioneer. ~ In windy weather, and it is wslways windy here, there is u perfect storm of dust, cleanness s entirely out of the question, and not only does a man have to eat his beck of dirt, but he has to carry about a la stock of it in his clothes, But many Ao, ave anxiously longe ato will get it in_no other way, no more of it than that which the wind lodges on his person and food. MONEY 18 BBING MADE HERE, but it is made by the land-sharks, the black- legs, the gambiers and those who stand iu with the United States marstul und his dep- utics, and the land oficers located he Every individual whose iivelihood is gnined through advantage takien of the misfortunes or weaknesses and needs of others, is among the money makers of Guthrie, Peo- ple have to cat, drink_and sleep, and those who can provide for the necessaries of life are enabled to charge their own prices—neo- ple wust live, and here they must pay daily for that privilege Many persons who have come here are to They have sacrificed valuable property and, perhaps their homossto come to Okiahoma, The ex se of coming was great, and the expense of remaining 13 greater; They have found only disappoint- ment here, and the bright future and happy homes so glaringly painted by the press and depicted by hope, have vauished in faucy like many another vision to_which distance lent enchantment. The Oklaboma then fancy puinted was o paradise; the Oklahoma they found in reality is @ land of hot sun- shine, winds and_sand, With a fair sprink ling of laud grabbers, fakirs and bunco stecrers, And the thousands of honest set- tlers who aro here to earn their living by fair and upright means, will meet wih many bitter disappointuents, 1t was reported to-day that Captain Couch, one of the old Oklahoma boowers, s leading a colony of 600 homeseekers to the Cherokee streip, and from present indications it scems the stampede from Oklahoma to this strip will be as great as the rush to Okla noma from other points, There is a great deal of CLATM JUMPING bere notwithstanding the many manifesta tions of aiscontent. One must stay with his 1ot or he will tind somebody els building a house on it. Some have no tents sit on thelr claims in the hot sun all day and in th dawp, ebilling winds all night. One settler sat under an umbrells all day yesterday and to-day hold- ing his claims. Many have uo shelter what ever, and as the sun is very bot all duy snd the nights cold, there is considerable suff ing among the tnfortunate boomers. Al are disappointed and many thoroughly disgusted.

One of the injunction cases is on hearing to- day beforo Judges Doano and Wakeley, and will probably be concluded to-morrow some time. We ought to get a decision within a week or two. The Woman's Relief Corps Ball. Tho initial ball of the George A. Custer post, Woman'’s Relief corps, was held at Ex- position hall last evening and was largely at- tended. 'The hall was gaily decorated wi the national colors, and portraits of Custer hung at the east and west enas of the room. At tho west side of the room were two stacks of arms with cannon and powder caissons prettily decorated with flowers, instead of being loaded with tho destructive missiles ot war. The grand march commenced at 9:80, and twenty dances were indulged in. Arrested for Stealing Stamps, Otto Codder was arrested by Oficer McCarthy yesterday and locked up on the charge of larceny. Codder is a youth who has been in the employ of Paxton, Gallaghe: ¢ Co. Ho has been under suspicion of steal- ing postage stamps for some time. Yester- day, according to the report, he purloined stamps to the amount of £1, and while trying to disposo of them for soventy-vo conts wus sted.

The bishop was obliged to dectine the invitation on account of other engagements. Shea's Case Continned. Pat Shea, who was arrested with a man named Christophsen a few days ago on the charge of cutting a water main, was on trial before Judge Berka yesterday afternoon.

The tone of the condolences, the em- blems of woo, the needless display and ostentation, and the bustling activity of the undertaker—all are opposed alike wo the spirit of Christianity and the canons of good taste. The undertaker, who, us a rule, means well, is often the worst offender, Every one has some story to tell of his gauch- erics, 1 recall attending a funeral some time ago, at which the unde takor made his little spoec: ence to viewing the “remains.” He coneluded thus: “In behall of the friends of the family T wish to thank those who have so kindly helped to malse this sad event a success, and I am sure that if the ‘remains were alive he woula heartily join in this expression of gravitude.” "And T once heard an- other urdertaker say that a certan funeral he had conducted was small, being attended by only ten persons, in- cluding the mains.” The elergy are y guilty of such improprieties, excent in the way of unwise eulogies.
