Oh, U\e trill of the beautiful blue bird! It +.uds a quick joy through the breast: For it Jells us the blossoms are coming, That anture has waked from her rest. And witching the red robin’s warble, That floats the June sunset along; B 't Omaha owns a melody sweeter, n ex-Captain Crooks’ gay song.

But, indced, W\ game was interesting, notwithstanding tAq lopsidedress of tye score, und it is simosx'qus to doughnuts that the White £ax must < ecp busy all the time 10 tako this afternoon’s Sall. The Prohibitionists sre playing well and aro aptto stumble on & victory aimost any time, But you've heard the old fable about the Alind hog ana the acorn. 1t was a sort of a_patched up team Omuha had in the field, but if all patched up teams play as they did it would be advisable for Milwuukee, St. Joe und other rural teams to do a liftle patching. Bie, fav Jakey Strauss was behmd the bat, and Jevne, recently from Culifornia, was in right, and both positions were most credita- bly played. But the game. Willis opencd up the sport with & rap to center, and a prolonged shout showed that the crowd was out for a whole lot of fun. Tne fair-haired boy quickly collared sec- ond, and on Grover's retirement at first reached third. Jakoy Strauss, who was on is mettle all round, then walked up to the plate, and without uny unnecessary dilly- dallying, smashed out a tri-sacker, and Willis scored. And so did Jakey, a mowent subse- quently, on the ex-captain’s sizzling srounder past big Mephistopheles Smith. Juck stole second, but was left. No more runs were made uutil the fourth, when the cold water gung _managed to get their clamps on_cne, and it was toe only one they got throughout the entire game. So glad | Mr. Whiteley began the work by a scratch hit to right. A passed ball lot him to sec- ond, and after Klusman had been given first on four wide ones, Connell sent Whiteley home astride a fine two-sacker. Fortunate Mr. Whiteley. Sam Smith then drove & hot one to Crooks who threw to Walsh, and Connell was caught off his base and thereby was executed a brilliant double play. That was clever and the people shouted lustily. Mmullnr, the third man, was easily dis- 50 PG tho sixth the locals scored their third tally, Crooks getting his base on wide balls, stealing second and crossing the rubber on Walsh's hit. ' Two more were added in the seventh, five in the eighth and two the ninth, making twelve altogether. And that is the way the game ended. So everybody was happy and left the park with beaming faces.

GRAND IsLAND, Neb.,, June 26.—[Special Correspondence of Tur Bre.|—vhe Grand Island Base Ball association has been trying all the season to form a state leagzue, and again request the base ball men of Lincoln, Columbus, Norfolk, Kearney, ‘Hastings and other towns to co-operate with tham. Nor- folk, Hastings and Kearwey will enter, Any correspondence regarding this will receive prompt attention if addressed to Colen, president, or E. C. Hockenberger, secretary of the Grand Island Base Ball association, Stanley's Foolish Break. If there is uny one so misinformed as to think there is no excitement in a bicycle race, they should have been in atiendance at the Coliseum last night and witnessed the wind-up of the Baldwin-Stanley-Williams sweepstakes chuse. There was enough of simon pure, blood-curdling, haw-raising article to last one. through several months of ordinary every ife, and for a time it looked as if the affair might develop i a small sized riot. There was guite a large crowd in attendauce, say a coupie of thousand people, & large majority of whom were ladies. The ruce ran slong smoothly and quietly, as has been its wont, unti’ b..o final mile was eatered. Then it was pal pable thut Miss Huldwin, who had been hus- anding Ler strength all the evening, meant to make the effort of her life, and, if possible best the indomitable Stanle; By one of her wonderful spurts of speed she wrested the lead from her two competitors nnrli in the last mile, and whirled away like a bird upon the wing, It didn’t require meny seconds for the qulck-witted Stanley to get onto Bald- win's scheme—that she had already begun her spurt for home—and bending low over her wheel she took after her. On they flushed liko a couple of wingod wpirite, leav- ing the local champion rapidly in the chiro obscuro of the background, The New Yorker strained every nerve und muscle and sinew to overhaul the glancing rocket in front of her, but too late she discovered her- inability to accomplish this end. Oace, twice, thrice she drew up alongside the pale- faced little girl,who bentover hier handle-bars as immobile as if she had been carved from marble, but her sturdy limbs kept workin, away like piston rods of steel, and her wheel fuirly flashied fire as she sped round the dizzy course, and Stanley could not head her off. Her hlllgl:‘r e‘).'el aud scared look told that she realized this, aud just as Baldwin was rounding into the first quarter, Stanley, who was hugging close, deliberately under took to cut her off wwhnr at- taining the necessary vantage entitling her to cross. The consequences were that Bald- win made & hairbreadth escape from being hurled ugainst the brick wall surroundin, the track, which calamity would have mean! broken lunhu if uot fatal injuries. In saving T Baldwin's feet slipped from the pedaiy and Stanley dashed into the lead. Baldwin throwing up ber hand as s lznd to the nlunu she had been o Al the l&p‘r turn sho leaped from hor wheel, Tom ' 'k ran to hor, and, catehing her wh hesl, stood near the pole, drging her to_remount. But she I'Glulllll'! 50 use A "v ew she had been fouled dn. a8 hers, By this time Stanloy hu‘ hads the cirenit, and to the horror of the excited throag, who had been yelling “Foul!” “Foul" at the top of their lungs, Stanley dashed into the wheel Eok was holding on the track, and she was dashed headlong to the floor. ' A gash was cut in her forehead, and for a moment she lay on the track stunned. Williams in the meantime continued on round the course until sho again reached the point where Stanley lay, when over she went, and both were prostrated on the track. Reforee Kelkenny at this juncture fired the gun, proclaiming that the race was finisned, and 'in the twinkling of an eye the arena was filled with yelling and excited men. Stanloy was carried to the dressing room, but Miss Baldwin and Williams remained upon the track until the referee had rendered his de- cision, which was that Miss Baldwin had won the race, with Stanley second and Williams third. ~Notwithstanding the dif- ferences of opinion among the respective aamirers of the contestants, this decision was eminently just, so far as Baldwin was concerned, but 1t is An open question whether Miss Williams isn't entitled to second money. Stanley fouled Miss Baldwin when it was patent to all fairminded spectators that that was the only manner in_ which she could ever have hoped to pass her ad- versary. Buldwin was riding as she never had rode before and it is probable she would have won by several wheel longths, There was o long, noisy and disputatious wrangle after the whole affair was all ovor, butno serious trouble eventuated. This' victory makes Miss Baldwin the champion lady bicyele rider of the world, The score. Laps. 89-10 8010 Miles. Baldwin.. 60 200 The Lefevers £hoot.

Broderick was in the seat and took the word at the third score. Immediately after going under the wire the bay broke, but Broderick gathersd him up with but slight loss. He made the quarter in 83¢, the half in 1:05, the three-quarters in 1:38, and the mile in 2:12. TheofMicial watches record2d 2:11{ ana it was generally conceded that if he hadn't made the break in the first quarter he would have gone in 209 casy. More interest was manifested in the last event than any other. It was a matched race between two local horses, Joun D. and Bom- abee. Broderick drove John D. and there was some hope of his winning, although Bomabee was considered the fastest horse. John D. went to pieces despite Broderick and Bomabee won in three straignt heats.

Seventy-five horses are now here, about fifty arriving from Mitchell to-night. The races began Tues- day and will continue three days. —_—— CROP PROSPECTS, They Are Less Favorable Than a Week Ago. 8. PauL, June 20,—The crop prospects are less favorable to-day than they were a week ago, owing to the lack of moisture and the hot, dry winds that have held sway across portions of northern Dakota within the pust few days. Advices received from all purts of the northwest indicate there will be considerably less than the average yield of wheat. The farm- ers in many sections, and especially in central and southern Dakota are again crying out for uore rain, for the amount of moisture that has fallen during the past weel has not been great, and has come chicfly in the shupe of local showers widely scat- tered and very limited in area. So far as this weather is concerned, ourly sown wheat is now too far advanced to be benefitted to any extent by the rain full, but grain late sown, which comprises a very large proportion'of ‘the acrenge, would bo vastly elped by rain. In northern Minuesota the erop looks better than iu northern Dakota, While the wheat flelds in the southern por- tion of tho Red river valley are not looking ~ very welh as & rule, they seem to be in very fair condition in the northern section on both sides of the river. There has been more rain at the north than lower down. The feature of the situation is that the farmers here and there are plowing up their worst looking wheat and plowing up land for summer fallow, or are cutting grain and using it for fodder. The corn crop in southern Minnesota is coming on finely, The wheat outlook of that rection is not materially changed. Grain in most southern counties is not looking very well. The hay crop throughout the entire northwest is very unpromising. e Doings of the Ministers, Sioux FaLLs, Dak., June 29. pecial Tele- gram to Tus Bee.|—~The Inter-State Minis- terial wstitute this morning was of unusual 1terest, Prof. Price lectured on *The Method of Old Testament Study,’ which was followed by Dr. Kendrick on “The Atone- went.” The institute then took a recews un- til Monday.

Present Mouat, O'Keeffe and Turner. James Creighton was on hand with a pe- tition signed by himself and ‘ohn W. Lytlo, that the assessment on Tie Ber and Now York Life buildings was only 7 or 8 ver cent of the value, while on the property ownod by the signers the assessment is 83 per cent, The property referred to in the potition as owned by Creighton, is on the north side of Farnam, immediately east of the corner of Twelfth strest. The vetition is as follows, and was referred to the board of equaliza- tion ; ““We hereby make complaint that the fol- lowing property is assessed too low, to-wit: Lots 7 and 8, in block 116, city of Omaba, aud for reasons hereafter set forth. The undersigned are property owners on Farnum street, described as follows: The west 22 feot of ot 6, in block 123, and the east 44 feet of lot 6, in block 122, and that the assessment on the above describad property amounts to §17,100, and that the next 66 feet east thereof 18 nssessed for the same amount. ‘That for the purpose of _comparison we will leave out the value of the ground and tuke into consideration the valuo of the improve- ments alone. The above described property in block 122 comprises 132 feet square of in- side property, und the above property de- Roribod ns 10ts 7and 8, i block 116, com- prises 132 feot square of cornor proparty. “The total assessed valuation of lots 6 and 7, in block 122, is $34,200, and the total vilua- tlon of {mprovements thereon is 40,000, showing that the ussessment is 57 per cent of the value of tho improvements. On the other hand, the assessed valuation of the property described as lots 7 and 8, in block 116, owned by the Bee Buiding association, 000, und the total value of improve: ments thercon amount to $400,000, showing that the assessmeat is only 88 per cent of the value of tho improvements. For the value of the Bee Building association im- provements we refer you to Mr. Rosewater’s article in the Omaha World of January 26, 1850, Said _article accompanies ~ this complaint. Mr. Rosewater, in a speech at @ recent banquet, placed the value of suid improvements at §150,000, “What 15 true of Trte: Bee building is also true of the building immediately cast of the same, known as the New York Life building. Its owners and their agents claim that tho last named building cost #350,000, and the assessod valuation thercof 1s $30,000, or about 7 7-10 per cent of' tho value of the building. We have 'not considered tho ground under these improvements, because 1t 15 avout the same in" yhalue in both in- stauces, or if there is any difference 1t is 1n fovor of the Seventeentil and Farnam street property. For further'comparison we will cite two more instancés, 'namely, Paddock’s building, lot in block 1 cost about §5,000 und i3 usscased at_$ 0, or 33 per cent of the value of the improve- ments. “Aguin, John A, Creighiton owns the east 44 feet of lot 8, in block 123, and the building thereon cost $10,000, and 18 ssessed at $15 or 33 per cent of the valuo of the bui improvement. “Now, 1f the standard of assessed valua- tion is to be 7 and 8 per cént, why not apply that standard to all city mmprovoment; and, on the other hand, it the standard is to be from 85 to 57 per cong. why uot apply such stundard to Fourth, ward as yell as to the Third ward? "1t seéms thut tho smaller and muddle class of property owners ure assessed much higher in proportion than the larger ones. We respectfully ask, at your hand, relief from this unequal and discriminating system of assessient. - JaMES CREIGHTON. Jonx W.

GRAND IsLAND, Neb., June 28.—To the Editor of Tue Bere: I earncstly protest against the statement of your special corre- spondent, Frank G. Carpenter, in your issue of June 28, 1880. The subject, “India’s ‘Wonderful Wizzard,” wherein he claimed that Madam Blavetsky is a fraud and that the society of the masters thau are bahind theosophical socicty should be associated with acrobats and jugglers. Had he posted himself in the theosophical literature of the day, and used a little common reason, his statement in the above respect would not have been so wild and carcless. Whatever has emauated froml Madam Blavetsky or from the masters through her, has baen such that would benefit mankind in every sense of the word, The scientific thoughts and knowledge advanced by ‘the adsociation have been so far elevating and beyond that which have been given out by the average societics of the day; tbe reading of the theosophical literature will do more towards the spiritunl elevation of humanity than any literature that now oceupiés either the pulpit or the scientific forum. 1 would respectfuily refer you to such various works of Mad: Blavetsky, ‘‘Isis Unvailed” and the ret Doctrine,” and anybody with a rational mind, after reading these works will undoubtedly state, instead of her being a fraud, that she is one of the greatest benefactors to humanity. “The theosophical society, of which she is the respected head, was founded at New York, November 17, 1575. Its founders be- lieved that tho best interests of religion and science would be promoted by the revival of Sanskrit, Pali, Zend and other ancient literature, in _which the suges and masters had preserved for the use of mankind truths of the highest value respecting man and nature, A society of an absolutely unsectar- ian character, whose works should be ami cably prosecuted by the learned of all raci in a spirit of unselfish devotion to the search of truth, and with the purpose disseminating it impartially, seemed likely to do much to check materialism and strengthen the waning religious spirit, The simplest expression of the objects of the so- ciety is tue following: First—To form the nucleus of a universal brotherhood of humanity, without distinc- tion of race, creed, sex, custe or color, Second—1'0 promote the study of Aryan and other eastern literatures, religious and science, Third—A third object—pursued by a por- tion ouly of the members of the socloty—is to investigate ‘uncxplained laws of nature and the psychial powers of man, Such is the object of Madam Blavetsky's ambition in hfe and the teachings of the masters which your special correspondent declared @ fraud and associated with corner jugglers and acrobats, Very respsct- fully yours, M.

Wednesday, July 10, afeornoon and even- ing—The Uolwnllnl AN I!ll'On'l'r\N T DECISION Rendered by Judge Hopewoll In a Larceny Case. Judge Hopewell gave a decision in the criminal court yestarday relative to larceny from the person, which, if sound, will change the tactics of prosccutors hereafter 1n thoir trial of prisoners arraigned for such offenses. It came up in the oase of the State of Ne- braska against John Arnold, who was no- cused of stealing $20, The statue uunder which he was arrested provides \hat every individual taking valuable vroperty from another’ person shall be deemed guilty of grand iarceny, and if convicted be senteno»d to the penitentiary for not less than one por more Vian seven yoars, This law was passed by the legislature of 18! ‘The act in force prior to that time required that the amount stolen must bo worth §35, or the offenso coula not be more than petty larceny or & misdemeanor, the punishment for which was a fine and short imprisonment in tho county Jail. While the new statute makes the offenso a felony, it in no wisa amends the act defining vetty larceny. Arnold's attorney took the ground th the act of 1587 is in contraven- tion of a section which provides that no law can be amended unless the new act contains the scetion amended. Judge Hopewell's de- cision sustained this view. County Attorney Mahoney will take the case up, on a writ of error, to the supreme court. Avruold was re- leased from Jail, rearrested and tined in the police court. — VITIES.

Upin Berkshire county. Massuchu setts, the rattlesnake 1s hunted every ear for his oil, which sometimes otches $2 an ounce. Here 1s a deserip- tion of the way the Yankee outwits the serpent: Choosing s hot summer day, the rattlesnake hunter saunters forth. One man caaries a fishpole, another a sharp scythe, The fishpole has o stout wire attached to it, and there is an or- dinary-pickeral hook on the end of the wire.” Moving cautiously through the grass, s0 as not to disturb the sleeping snake, who is almost always found bask- ing in'the warm sun near a loose ledge of rock, one of the men prods his snake- ship move or less gently with the fish- ole, being careful also to hold the hook invitingly noar to the rattler’s head, The snake wake up angry, makesadart at the nearest irritating object, which is the fishhook, and very accommodat- ingly allows the sharp tines to penetrate his jaws. The man with the fishpole holds the entrapped rattlesnake at a safe distunce, while his comrade moves upand severs the snake’s head from his body. The body then is deposited in a bag, and the hunters go in search of an- other snake. —— Jofn J. Ingall Washington ILetter in the Detroit Iree Press: One of the familiar figures of Washington these days is a very tall and thin man, whose hu( hi is exagger- ated by his habit of M.urlmru lofty bell- crowned white plug and yellow-topped shoes, He hus small angulur features and a gray moustache, which increases the abnormal sharpuess of his face. He wears & pepper and salt spring suit, and a rather bonny scarfl flouts his stiff shirt front. There is an air of foppery about the man that seems atrang ly out of place, for his hard aquiline tures belie his sprightly raiment. There isa rather ghastly zn{vety about the man. He suggests a skeleton that has paid a visit to a tailor’s shop before taking an airing, The long, lean man is John J. Ingalls, presideut pro tewmpore of the United Btates senate, London Tailors.
