ESCAPED WITH THEIR LIVES. That Is All the Oharlie Lords Have to Be Thankful For. DONE UP FOR THREE STRAIGHT. They Take Their Departure From Omaha a Forlorn and Dise gursed Gang—Standing of the Clubs. Omaha 14, St. Joseph 2. Yesterday's game was enough to make anyone feel good. Whyt _Because, as a parting remembrancer, Omaha jumped upon St. Joe and gave her an unmerciful walloping. It was a shame to treat the poor country boys in such a way. But it couldn’t be helped. Omaha has ‘been smarting ever since the Corn Huskers gave hor such a sulivation, and she just made up her mind to take it out of Charlie Lord’s gang of dubs and duffers. % Poor Charlie! It is feared tnat his destiny is a padded cell. The St. Joes went out to the park with a fierce and murderous look in their oyes. The two previous games had riled them Yorribly. They awore they'd get square. You ought to have seen them leaving the grounds. 1t was u veritable funeral procession. But the game, It was as protty a strife as one would wish to witness up to the eighth inning. Then it suddenly became littio less than a great, big megatherium farce, 6 St. Joes went all to pieces, and they resembled a lot of little boys playlng tag. Neither side scored in the first, and so far ns the locals were concerned, the second re- sulted the same way. But the Charlie Lords managed to pound out an*earncd run and collar another, to ‘which they weren’t entitled. A Bulgarian, yclepy Mahoney, for short, smashed out the first ball Willis let go for a clean single. Ho was advanced to second by Frye's base on_balls and dashed across the plate on the golden-haired Smith's hit, Frye reaching third. . The Omaha twirler then made an atrocious wild pitch and Frye came in. An audible groan, like a gentle zephyr playing over the water, ran through the grand stand. Howaever, it didn’t injure the building a rticle, but it produced a smile on Charlie ord’s faco that was broader than any barn ooor and deeper than any well in town, Then Willis went right on with his appall- {)nq work, by giving Campana his base on alls. M’l‘ho ladies thought that was so mean of m. But he's pretty foxy, that boy Willis, and he knew what he was doing all the time. Ho struck the next two men out in such rapid succession that they both got mad, and big Cartwright said sométhing real sassy to the umpire. Curtis’ out retired the side, The White Sox—who wore black sox again westerday—got the first of their fourtéen Tups in the third. Mr. Willis led off with a whizzing throe- wacker, and Scrappy Juck knocked him home on & two-bagger nearly to the same spot. “Hey! hoy! hey!" shouted Ike Congden, Joe Garneau and Major Clarkson in melo- dious unison. Tt does please those boys 80 to seo the home lads smash tho sphere. Maria Halpin then drove a single past sevond. Messitt tried to score on the hit, but the motive Curtis threw him out at the plate. ‘That was bad. Maria Buffalo made second, though, on the throw-in, and that was some compensation for Jack's faux pas. Bet you don’t know what that means. But that was all the run Omaha conld get meu:. for Struss and Cruoks failed to con- nect. It was o goose egg for Charlie Lord's comedy company In the fourth Omaha made two more runs, first like this: After Cooney had flied, flew, or flown, out to Krieg, Walsh made a hit. Then he stole second. Some people hollered right out loud. Then he stole third, then there was more hollerin’, Andrews was given first on balls, and Can- avan made a hit, Walsh scoring, to' be sure, and Wally going to third. He came home a moment subsequent on Willis' long fly to Curtis, on which Canavan also gained third. But no more scores were made because Mos- ity went out. Another egg for the burlesquers. Then Omaha took one 1 her'n, and an- other in the sixth, ana the fantastiegus did likewise, Walsh, Crooks and Andrews help- ing them to one on a double play, and Cana- van and Andrews to the other on another. And then the lattor was a honey-cooler. Canavan, after u hard run, scooped in Ardner’s fly, and by a magnificent_throw to ‘Andrews, caught Curtis, who had started for second on the hit. ‘The feelings of the audience found expres- slon in a mighty shout of jubilation. y The slick littie fielder had to doff his cap. *} Inthe seventh the White Sox made thewr fourth tally, and in the succeeding inning Bix more! And what a fulmination there was at at. Let's see, it's hard to remember how 1t all happened, ‘anavan and Willis went out on flies; then Messitt got his base or. bulls. He stole sec- ond and third in a jiffy. Grover made a single to left, but it got by Curtis, und he followed Jack home. There was considerable cachination in the stands at this. Strauss continued the royal sport with a two-sacker, then Crooks hit to the equatorial- haired Smith, who, in attempting to throw him out at first, killed an English sparrow on top of the grand stand. The ball fell among the bleachers, ang both runners crossed tho Tubber, The California wonder was rattled and he banged Cooney on the crazy-bone! He, too, stolo second. Walsh made a hit and Jimmy scored, Joe going to second on the return of the bail. Andrews sent him home on a single, but Wally being forced out on second by Canavan, the fun stopped—for a few minutes, Just long enough for St. Joe to suck another eg, “hen the White Sox came right back and piled up four moro runs, and Charlie Lord 8at on the players’ bench glum as an oyster, but sweating like a darkey n a rolling mili. He probably wished he'd never been born. Poor man! “The last four runs were made, it may be well to add, on Willis' two-sacker, two buses on balls, and Joo Strauss’ beautiful homer. ‘The 8t. Joes went out like lightning. They were tired, jaded, sore and disgusted, but glad to get off with their lives. As ball players they are N. J. Glance at the statistics, they are official : OMAHA. AB.

The Pigeon Shooters' Tournament at Nortolk—Lighting a Fire With Kerosine—Doing Up Some Omaha Ballists, A Court Rouse Dedicatod. Cmaproy, Neb, May 24.——[Special to Tur Bre.|—Last evening an event occurred that will long be remembered with pleasure by the citizens of Dawes county, which was the dedication of the Dawes county court house. District court being in session, a large number of attorneys were present from abroad, also Hon. M. P, Kinkaid. The excreises were opened at the court house at 8:30 p.m. Judge T. F. Powers,chair- man, announced the purpose of the meeting in a fow well choson remarks, Judge N. P. Cook spoke briefly on ‘“I'he marvelous growth of the northwest,” and presented some interesting statistics in regurd to the settlement, population, and valuation. G. A. Fickles, attornoy, answered the question, “Why are more attorneys electod and ap- pointed to fill high ofcial positions than other professional ment” Next came Hon. A. W. Crites, who gave a few reminiscences ot his practice as an attorney in the oarly days in Nebraska, when a court house 10x24 feet was considered ample, and concluded by giving the younger membors of the bar some advice in regard to the necessary qualifica- tions to make a successful attornov. Mr. T. E. Turnor made a very eloquent address, in- terspersed with humor. Mr. Kinkard congratulated the aitizens of Dawes county in that they had beon able to vote bondsand build a court house avoiding any county seat war, and smd that Dawes county had the finest court house in the ‘Lwelith Judioial district. The chairman an- nounced that the formal dedication would take place at the Railroad eating-house, where a banquet would be served to which all visiting attorceys and county olicers wore fnvited. At the banquet S. I. Powers acted as toast-master. The toast, “The was responded to by Alfred Barlow; o judiciary,” by Hon, M. P. Kinkaid; he jury system,” by Judge R. E. W. parzur; *“Our lawyers' wives,” by Perry E. Baird; “Sheridan county bar,”” by W. H. Westover, of Rushyil The Sioux county bar,” by William Walker, of Huarrison Box Butte couuty bar,” by R. C. Noleman, of Alliance; “County attorneys,” by J. Daaskin, county attorney of Box Butte county; *‘County officers,”” by A. L. Field, county judge of Box Butte county. ~ A gen- eral feeling of hilarity prevailed and con- siderable humor crept into the different toasts. The attorneys' wives wero excluded from attendance at she banquet by a vote of th Bar association, and not desiring to be left out had a banquet of their own at the resi- dence of A. W, Crites. A number of attor- neys attended both, and the ladies' affair is reported a grand sucoess. Married at Forty Miles an Hour., Fauus Ciry, Neb.,, May 24.—[Special to Tre Bee.]—A novel wedding took place yes- térday, on tram No. 71, between this city and Humboldt. The contracting parties were Mr. J. E. Angle, of Kansas City, and Miss Emma H. Phillips, one of the most beautiful young ladies of Tecumsen. Patrick Lyman, the genial conductor, had been apprised of toe approaching ovent, and had made the best arrangements possible for the accom- modation of the wedding party. At Hum- boldt the passengers were notifiod tbat a ‘wedding was about to take place, and there was a genoral rush to the rear coach. The ceremony was performed by Eider R. C. Barrow, of Tecumseh, in an impressive man- ner, aud in a loud voice that was distinctly heard by all in the coach, though the win- dows were open, and the train was runuing at a nigh rate of speed, and cinders, dust and smoke enveloped the crowd. During the ceremony the train rushed through a covered bridge, and the clergyman paused & mowent, waitiug for hight and a cossation of the deaf- ening roar. The clergyman, and others, were permitted to kiss the lovely bride. Conductor Lyman and the father of the bride signed the marriage certiticate, the en- thused passengers resumed their seats, and the bridal party kept on their way to Kansas City, where the newly married couple will reside. They were married at about forty mile an hour,on a Richardson county Ji- cense, and the rushing business habits of the groom wdicate that the speed will be kepi up.

Four Hundred Dollars Gone. Curere, Neb., May 24.—[Special to Tug Bie.]—Some threo months ago a man by name of ¥'rank White, and his wile, arrived here and engaged board at the Washington house. Not finding anything to do to suit their taste, they hired out to Mr. John Thibeaudeaux, the owner of a large stook farm, one and one-half miles from this city. The man worked as a farm hand, the woman us ook, tho lattor boiug quite atiractive in appearance. About 8 week ago the man left without asking Mr. Thibeaudesux for his back wages. The next day the woman left as suddenly. Suspicion was aroused, and another hired haud, on looking over his trunk, yesterday, found that $400 in cash was gone. ‘The man, & German, is positive that the money was in his trunk the day before the couple took their deparcure. The man and woman are thought to have gone to the vicinity of Fairbury, and steps ‘have been taken to have them arrested. —— Herosine; Kitchen Fire; Death.

Sty - OPENING THE RESERVATION. The Statutory Provision in. Relation Thereto. Nrosrana, Neb., May 22.—To the Editor of Tug Bee: The letters of Commissioner Stockslager and Mr. William F. Payuoe, and your editorial in the 1ssue of the 21st, re- garding the Sioux reservation, are hardly exact as to the method of opening it to set tlement. While it is true that tho great part of the Sioux reservation is stiil unsurveyed, yet the commissioner does not scem to un- derstand that a portion of that which will become a part of Nebraska, as soon as the Indian title is extinguished by the pending negotiations, has already been surveyed in uniformity with tho Nebraska survey. The commussioner also seems to be poorly posted as to the requirements of the Sioux bill, which provides merely for the proclamation of the president and not the furthe r consent of congress, to effect’ its opening, as section 23 of the bill will prave, viz: “‘That this actishall take effect, only, upon the acceptancé thereof and consent thereto by the different bands of the Sioux Nation of Indians, in manner and form prescribed by the tweifth artiele of the treaty between the United States and said Sioux Indians, con- cluded April 29, 1868, which said acceptance and consent shall be made known by procla- mation by the president of the United States, upon satisfactory proof presented 1o him that the same ‘has’ been obtainted in the manner and form required by said twelfth article of said treaty, which proof sha!l be presented to him within one year from the passage of this act, and upon the failure of such proof and préclamation this act be- come of no efféct and null and void.” ‘While it is held:that the portion of the Sioux reservation that is about to become a part of Nebraska is *No Man’s Laud,” tho government is a power behind all, and will, as a matter of policy and good government, settle the matter by arbitrary rule. But that portion which has nosurveys will not be the means of keeping off settlement for ‘igquatters,” as another provision of the bill (section 13) reads thus: ‘¢ # = And said Poncas shall pe enti- tled to all other benefits unaer this act in tho same manner and with the same conditions as if they were a part of the Sioux Nation, receving rations at one of the agencies herein named. When the allotments to the Ponca tribe of Indians, and to such other Indians as allotments are provided for by this act, shall have been made upon that por- tion of said reservation, which 13 described in the act entitled, ‘An_act to eytend the northern boundary of the State of Nebraska,’ approved March 35, 1882, the president shall, in pursuance of said act, declare that the Indian title is extinguished to all lands de- scribed in said act not 8o al- lotted thereunder, and thereupon all of sad land nov 80 allotted and included in said act of March 28, 1882, shall be open to settlement as provided in this act; provided, that the allotments to the Ponca and other Indians authorized by this aot to be made upon the lund described in the said act entitled, ‘An act to extend the northern boundry of the State of Nebr asku,” shall be made within six months from the time this act shall take effect.” Nebraska’s part in the Sioux reservation is of considerable importance to this portion of the stute, as the land contuined in the sthp is the best of the reservation. It is, therefore, worth waating. Unless the presi- dent is very slow in making his proclama- tion, this reservation should be ready for settiement, providing the Indians consont, by next fall or winter. It is thought thé commission will zot be longer than 1s abso- lutely necessary, tho demand for its open- ing being so urgent. Ll e An Old-Time Partisan. s It is easy to recall to mind his famil- far figuro s he sits, during winter eve- ings, in his favorite corner. In his easy chair, with pipe in hand and his silver-rimmed ‘“‘specs” pushed back until they find a soft resting place on his beloved snow-white head, with eyes sparkling and his face beaming with pleasure as he calls back old mem- ories of days long gone by, he is likely to talk something after this fashion: “It's o long time since 1 was a boy. Ah, but that was many years ago. Sixty long years have gone and the good Lord” knows they were short enough. I was then as spruce and pert as any chap theréabouts. *Oh, but we bays were boys! Things have changed a heap since those days. Boys then didnft take much stock in stylish clothes.t {n those days‘the boy who could do the biggest dat’s work—could cnt the most wood, split, ph‘t most rails, plough the most corn, was the most envied, for he was sure to have the sweetest and best lookin’ galiat the ‘singin’ school’ or ‘apple peelin.” * “I teil you thosd'were good old times! “Ididn’t think'anything of going thirty miles or more to see your grand- mother, and wa‘diau’u have very good roads either, but generally had" to fol- low some old Indian trail. ““Talkin’ about .bickness then, there was no sicknedslike now. If we had a cold, a pain orguything, there was the best medicine in the world found in any log cabin home you came across, Why I remember that my old ’rnudmother. God bless her soul, she’s been dead these fifty years or more, ¢ make the best home-made medicine for miles around. Her ‘sarsaparilly’ couldn’t be beat. Come to think I just read in the paper about somebody who is making this same old log cabin medicine, under the name of *Warner’s Log Cabin Sarsa- parilla.” “It does seem splendid to think that you can buy those good old home cures at the druggist’s nowadays. “*Mebbe you think péople were not healthy in those days, but I teil you that it'was mighty seldom any one was siok long when they had such good old grandmother medicine so handy,” THE I0WA RAILROAD CASES. Another Ruling By Judge Brewer of the Federal Court. JUNE SCHEDULE RESTRAINED, A Postal Inspector Makes a Clever Capture—~The State Board of Pharmacy—A Severe Hail Storm. The Casc' Continued. Des Moix la, May 24.—|Special Tele- gram to Tre Bee.|--Judge Brewer, of the United States circuit court, made an addi- tional ruling in the famous case of Iowa roads ngainst the commissioners' rates. An application was made by the roads to con- tinue the case and the temporary injunction against what is known as the June scheaule He replied as follows: ‘‘The motion of complainants is Sustained; the schedule of June has been restramed and the later schedule is in force. The restrain. ing order in respect thereto has been dented, and in respect to both, as I stated in my last opinion, the the test of experience is the best satisfactory. The first schedule practically abandoned by the adoption of the second. and I do not think that the complain- ants should be put to the nccessity of either dismissing their bills or submitting their losses upon what might be regarded as mere theorotical as against practical testi- mony. No question of sentiment enters into @ matter of this kind. If, at the end of the time nukfu!lml, it appears from experience that the Iowa rates do not pay, I shall, unless advised to the contrary by the supreme court, permanently enjoin both the first and secon schedules. I have no doubt, however, that I sball be navised by the supreme court prior to that time; for while the Minnesota cases were not taken up at the time I suggested to counsel, they have since been taken to that court and applications made for advance- ment towards the close of the terms, and de- nied with leave to renew it at the commence- ment of the next term, So that I have good reason to beliove that by the first of bext year many questions involved in this litiga- tion will be settled by that court, and I seo noJ)rm}l!cnl hardship in mnlinuln$ the cases and the testimony until that time.” The Supreme Court.

ForT Dona, Ta., May 24.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bek.|—Oneof the most pa- thetio and exciting incidents in the Des Mnluf:'s river latd controversy occurred late last evening, when ola “Pony” Haggonson, the celebrated river land settler, was ar- raigned in the district court to answer to the charge of contémpt of court, in returning to his land after being evicted. *‘Pony’s” at- torney stated that his client was insane, to which “Pony" cntered a vig- orous protest. Grabbing his hat in his hand, he ran to a position in front of the judge's desk, exclaiming in a loud voice: “Oh no. Mo no crazy. Mo have title,” and he produced an aged government patent from the ragged folds of his coat. He then continued in a half broken, half idiotic dialogue, to argue his own case. After considerable effort Judge Stevens succeed ed in quieting him long enough to state that sentence could not be passed, but the case continued Lo the federal court. Old “*Pony’” wandered aimlessly out, uttering unintelligi- ble maledictionson the whole universe. '1“(10 sturdy old settler is a mental wreck. A Youthfal Postal Thief.

A large number of complaints had been made of losses of money in letters from central and northwestern lowa, and Mr. Fleming was detailed to investigato. Sus- picion finally rested on a specal delivery boy named Henry Tillotson, of this city. Decoy letters wera sent.to him and ho was arrested to-night with one of the letters in ion. He then confossed all, and here he had torn up and thrown away, under a bridge, a large number of letters, some of of them containing checks and postal notes. He did not understand the value of the latter, und tore them up discriminately, carmg ouly for the cash which be could find in the ietters. He was taken boeforo United States Commissioner Jordan and held for examination to-morrow. The Gainor Murder Case.

For a first effort at operatic writing, Miss Bolla Robiuson, has, in her creation, “The Smugglers of Senovton,” produced a quite commendablo work. The young lady is doserving of praise. That sho has talent, originality, genius and ambition, must be ad- mitted. All these gifts are amply shown in her undertaking, and, 1f properly balanced by the right kind of judgment, there is every roason to believe that she will reach that exalted path In the elements of worldly fame on which the bent of ner aspirations is fixed. The opera was heard by a large and critical audience at Boyd's last night, and there s no question but that it left on the mind of every ono a very favor- able impression. This fact wust be taken into consideration—tho author is only nine- teen, therefore, lacking in stage exporience, and, having amateur artists exclusively to deal with, one can easily imagine the disad- vantuges under which she is laboring in getting hor oreation introduced to the public. Put the opera into professional hands and it would make a hit. The foundation and frame work aro ther few finishing touches by skilled musicians and actors, in way of arrauging certain parts, and the orchestration, and arill- ing the performers both as to voice and action are needed, With more lifo and go thrown into the rendition, the effect could be wonderfully improved. A synopsis of the story was printed in these columns last Sunday, and need not be repeated here. The performance opens with alively chorus, which arouses interest, puts the audience in good spirits, and holds atten- tion for what follows. The music of this chorus is light and simple, though pleasing. In fact, the entire opera is simple and easy enough, and for that rcason the author de- serves consideration. She has not attemnted to wade in water beyond her depth. The brilliancy of her composing powors 18 shown in two numbors, the trio, *‘Do not Go,” and a duet, “Tell Me Once Again.”” ‘I'hese are tho real genius, and thoy were fully appreoiated. A repetition of each was demanded. A solo, “Happy Day,” sung by the heroine, also called for special comment. The waitors' chorus, in the first act, was well regeived, and the whistling chorus, done by eight girls in the last act, elicited a vig- orous encore. That is certainly @ new, as well us a novel feature. Being light and easily understood, there is no reason why the opera should not become more popular than muny productions the public is called on 1o putronize. ‘The cast of characters is as follows: Lord Walter, the young Master of Senovton Castle. . . L M. Treynor Lady Eieanor, his betrothed. . Bertha Bayliss Lady Penelope, Walter's sister. . . aresees ....e.... Anua Merkel Evans Sir Valenune, a friend of Walter’s...... ceenss ddward P. Fitcn Chief of the Smugglers’ band...C. H. Judson They sing their parts very well, but fall short as actors. Miss Bayliss and Mr. Trey- nor took the honors in their singing of the ““Tell Me Once Agaiu” duet. However, the trio, in which Mrs. Evans, Mr, Troynor and Mr. Fitch matched voices, brought forth a hearty expression of ap. proval. The ghost, goblin, and minuet dances add variety and enhance tho beauty of the entertainment. Miss Robinson has shown splendid taste in costuming, somo of the dresses being very elaborate in style.and material. All in all, the opora is much bettor than might have resonably been exvected. At the'end of the first act last night Miss Robinson was called before the curtain and favored with ndsome boquet of flow: Miss Baviiss was also the recipient of a floi mft. There will be a matinee Ll;ifi afternoon to-nig!
