The Omahas and Des Moines will meet again this afteruoon, and soe whethor they can't play & gamo toa finish. Omuha's fa- mous young pitcher, Nichols, will be in the box, and it’s great big odds that he lands the ebony appareled brigade a winner. But the Towans will keep them playing ball ail right, have no fear of that, for they are putting up about as stiff an article of the groat national game as any club in the association. The peo- ple of Omaha, who have been clamoring for yoars for a winning ball team, should show their appreciatioon by turning out and see- ing these games. They've got & winning team now, and ono of the very best wo havo gotten together in the west. They are playing magnificent ball, every one of them, and the management should be given every encouragement for the flne sport they aro giving us by the most lib- eral patronago at the hands of the public. It may be many a year before such ball playing will be seen in Omaha agai Turn out, everybody,this afternoon and givo the boysa bumper. Following are the positions of the two teams for this afternoon’s game: Omaha. Positions. Des Moines. Cooney... . Jlaveland Omaha 6, Des Moines 6. Notwithstanding the gloomy, threatening weather yesterday, o fair Sunday crowd, say anywhere from twenty-five hundred to three thousand people, turned out to see the opening game of the fourth series bstween the Omaha and Des Moines teams. Had it not been for the darkened sky, lower- Ing clouds and generally inauspicious look of things, there is no doubt but what the at- terdar e would have been as large agam, Those, however, who were venturesome enough to brave the chauces of u soaking, were & hundred-fold repaid, by witnessing what was really the most exciting contest played upon the local grounds this season. It was one of those games that effervesce with snap and ginger, with brilliant fielding, clever hitting, good base running and provo- cating errors—ora of those varying, fluctuat- ing, up and down sort of battles that keep the spectators in an uninterrupted state of feverish anxiety from start to finish, The Omahas appeared for the first time at ‘home in their new black uniforms, which it musy be said are the nattiest and most be- coming seen here this season. Up in Minne- apolis they dubbed the boys in these sombre togs the Demous, and it looked for awhile a;aterday that the new clothes were going hoodoo us. The boys pulled together mag- nificently, and finally, after ono of the hot- test fights they have ever engaged in, suc- bt making it a draw with the doughty Prohibitionists. The Towans had the locals licked two or three times during the struggle, but like Bancho's ghost, they wouidn’t down, and every time managed to save thewmselves by the ekin of their teeth. ‘Tom Nagle, Omaha's greac back-stop, was quite painfully injured 1 the eleventh in- ning and was compelled to retire, Strauss ng his place. A vicious foul tip struck his mask and drove one of the broken, jagged wires into the flesh above the right eye. He bled profusely, and for a time the memzm feared that he had lost an eye, t luckily tho hurt was not so serious. Clarke did the twirling for Omaha and he received a vigorous drubbing, thirteen hits, Awith a total of twenuy-two, being scored off him. 1t was nofaultof his that Omaha Was enabled to turn defeat into a stand-off. Billy Hart was in the box for the visitors, and the game he put up was of tho par-ex~ llent order—but six safe hits being ob- ined off his delivery by the coming cham- plons. Omaha opened upin a way that was promis- fng enough, and the crowd settled itself to see them obliterate the representatives of the side-door state. ‘Cooney opened up with a corker to left, and Cleveland got first on a saffron-colored Juggle by Mr. Caninell, which little piece of prestidigitation also let Cooney clear 'round to third. That boy runs like a rabbit when he wants to. Joe Strauss came next, and ne sent a long, high fly to Putton, Cooney running across the rubber after the ball was caught. The next moment Buffalo Bill allowed one of Hart's catapult shots to get by him and Cleveland came in, Ot course the spectators yelped a little at this, but they didn’t seem to think there was uch of a call for enthusinsm, as Omaha had uch a snap, don't you know. It was one, two, three for the visitors. In the second Andrews went to first on four bad ones, second on Nagle's out at first, third on & passed ball and home on Cana- ‘van's out at first. Clarke wafted, Again it was one, two, throe for the visit- rs, 88 it was in the third for Omaha.

In the fourth, after Crooks had been paught napping at first, whick he had reached on balls, \L’llnh made a hit, stole second, ‘went to third on an error of Macullar's, and home on Auodrews’ retirement at first. Na- also made a two-socker, but was loft by avan. For Des Moines, Maskrey went to first on balls, only to die trying to steal second. Connell struck out.

THE PRACTICE OF POLYGAMY. It Has Undoubtedly Received Its Death Blow. TITHING SYSTEM BROKEN UP, A Strong Probability That the Great Mormon Temple Will Never Bo Completed—Hard Work to Prosecute. A Bee Man in Mormondom. Saut Lager Crry, Utah, July 24.—Staft Correspondence of Tre Bem: “What a pity that such a beautiful city, with such splen- did possibilities, should be held back from the magnificent proportions it will some day assume, simply by the religious and social differences.” Such was the exclamation of Congressmaa Burrows, of Michigan, after we had been driven around the environs of the once famous but now extinet Brigham Young. After sponding two days in Salt Lake City with the leading Mormons and Gentilos and seeing every part of the city and its vast interests, and talking with the members of the Utah commission and with Bishop Cannon—the ‘latter the head of the Mormon church-—I have come to the con- clusion that polygamy has received its death blow and that the Mormon church is on its last Iegs. If the church did not depend upon recruits from Europe it would make an assignment within two years. About every three months a missionary or elder arrives from Europe with a amall band of benighted individuals, mostly an extremely ignorant and. unattractive people, who have been proselyted and captured by the church. ; These aro distributed around the territory and goto fill up the ranks made vacant by tho operation of the Edmunds law. Very few are dropped here. The tithing system is entirely broken up by the law, so far as can be seen, although it is supposed that it is carried on to a limited degree under the guise of ‘‘voluntary contri- butions.” The federal government confis- cated the valuable property belonging to the Mormon church and occupied by the Descrt News as a printing office. It is an immense square, partly covered by a building for this publication office and offices for clorks. There is an abundance of room where the poor, ignorant people dumped the fourth of everything they produced, and which was sold” to regular customers, the same as & general merchandise house. Every fourth load of wood, grain or wool or other product of the farm or factory was brought here and given over to the church. Some other buildings belonging to the church organization and used for business purposes were coafiscated, placed in the handsof a re- ceiver, and they are mow rented to the church, but they arenot used for the pur- poses they were once. Nothing tending to the teachings of the polygamous branches of the Mormon faith is permitted. The federal officers at the outset of tho Edmunds law, five years ago, 1ok charge of the great tem’ ple, which the Mormons began to construct forty years ago, which cost $3,000,000, 18 to cost as much more and be the finest religious edifice 1n the United States, but it was soon found that it could not be confiscated. It was church property, and although the business concerns of the church could be taken, tho edifice could not. When I asked the super- intendent of construction when the temple would be completed he smiled softly and ln his wood Mormon regulation way sai “We do not know. You see, sir, the church was cut off from its regular ana hon- est tithings Ly the Edmunds law, which gave it a backsot in money matters, ' It may be a quarter of a century yet. It isto be used, not us a place of worship, but as a place for ceremonies, marriages and other rites, ordinations, and so forth, aud there is no hurry about it.” It is my honest opinion that the temple will never be finished by the Mormon church or- ization, for I believe the church will fast ecay. It was once as powerful, tyrannical and ambitious, in its way, as was Rome un- der the Caesars; but it will be remembered that the Roman empire fell. The building of railroads here was the first black eye to Mormonism. If they could have been kept out a quarter of a oentury longer no one knows what trouble or whnat loss of life and property would have been neces- sary to dislodge the Mormons, for they originally intended an orgaaization and en- trenchment which would be invingible ex- cept to the Invisible, Brigham Young op- posed mining because 1t would tend to bring in strangers not convert~2 1o his practices. Heo advocated agricult=re, that being for him more productive of both people and tithes. 'é‘he railroads brought in those who exposed im. 2. In the tabernacle at a concert the other day I sat besiae George Q. Cgunon, who is Brighum Young's succsssor, and whom 1 have known very well since he served in the Forty-seventh congress. He, it will be remembered, was the very first who was sought for by tho federal au- thorities under the Edmunds law. He was finally placed on trial on two indictments— unlawful cohabitation aud polygamy. He was convicted of the formor, the lightest clmrfi& Before sentence, however, he es- caped, remawmed in hiding for many months, and when President Cleveland put upon thé federal bench a good democrat who was not hostile to the cause, Cannon re-appeared, paid his bail bond, $25,000 and stood up for sentence. He got seventy days in the peni- tentiary. Great guns! The sentence given boggars in police courts for stealing a loaf of bread! But Cannon haa six or eight wives, 80 many children he did not known them all, and, besides, he is rich, aod has the millions of the church behind him. He got out of the penitentiary a short tume ago, and tells me how he occupies the pulpit at'the temple and the assembly as of yore. But Cannon has lost old his caste. It is the doctrine of the church, and when undor indictment the council oraained *‘that for the good of man- kind and the glory of Goa” he skould re- ceive his sentence and serve his term. If he had done that he would have been cannou- ized upon his entry from the penitentiary, But he demoustrated by his actions that what was good for the goose was not always a relish for the gander, One intuitively inquires after he looks about the city and admires the beautiful sur rouadings: *‘Do the Mormons have plural wives yet!" I asked General Robertson, one of the new members of the Utah commis- sion, that question, and in auswering he sai “Oh, yes, a great many of them undoubt- edly do, but we can not easily got hold of them. 1t 1s even more difiicult than in ascer- taming ordinarily who of the respectable married men in the eastern cities keep mis- tre: Every now and then & young wo- man, living at Lome with her parents, all Mormons, gives birth to a child. Nothing is said about the parentage. People uader- stand that she is the wife of some man, maybe & prominent capitalist and well known citizen, but the fact cannot be disclosed.” ‘Tuere is on every hand tracos of the once powerful organization of the church, yet they are scarcely more prominent than those of the commune at Versailles, when France was sacked, or of the independent government at Genoa, Pisa, Milan or Rome. But there are evidences of all that the church oncedid that was carnal. Ihave visited the great and historical store, Z. C. M. L.—Zion’s Co-oper- ative Mercantile iostitution—and with its $250,000 capital, now controlied ' by gentiles and Mormons alike, it does its old time busi- ness, managing to declare a 10 per cent givi- dend, and carry & handsome sum to the sur- plus every year. Itsells everythiong from a thresning machine down through drugs, dry Ruods, boots and shoes, hardware and the sundries. Then nnr% is the vegetable and meat market run, and established by Mor- mons, It does a land office business also. The Mormons and gentiles have not yet reached tho pont whaere they do not profer to discriminate in the purchase of their goods; but they buy where they can do the best 'with thedr money, and gradually and: surely the lines being oblit- erated. TheMormons and gentiles joined in entertaining and doing honor to Congress- man Dorsey’s congressional party while we have been hiere, and sa far as exiernal ap- pearances are concerned one could not dis tinguish between the two classes, While the yell of the ox driver pulling the immense marble blocks for the temple ave heard, the music frosa the wonderful organ in the tem- Pple is wafted out through the city, the soft e and low tones of the ¢hoirin the assembly hall penotrate the broiling sunlight, the old tithing howso stands, the tomb of Brigham Young s viowed by every passerby, and the mbst immense banking add commercial houses féunded by the Mor- mons bear their original signs and have their original customers. Mormonism has 108t its grip. The only thing needed to out the incubus off the body cleanly is a legisla- tive commission, created by congress, with power to make laws to fit omergencies, 8o a8 to moet the evil ag'it exists, and to enforce them. The Utah commission, with its re- stricted powers, is‘but a sinecare. ~ To pull the evil out by the roots a pair ot forcops is necessary. With Mormonism and its blighting influ- ences out of the way Salt Lake OCity will becomo powerful and is a splendid ficld for the real estate speculator, Proparty 18 growing rapidly in value, and is retarded by only this one barrier. Next February the city election will bo held. 1t is believed the liberal Gentile ticket will be elected, and that the people’s ticket (Mormon) will be permanently defeated. Then up will go property values. Ogden, forty miles Dorth, wont liboral in_ February Inst, and its 'boom has been phenominal, s 800n a8 the gentiles get control of Sait Lako City enstern capital will come in and real va- tato speculation will run riot. And so confl- dent are the gentiles of sucoess in February that many of them, and some Mormons, are quietly buying real estate. The design of Salt Lake City is charming. 1t is nestled in o broad valloy surrounded by high mountains. Her blocks are 140 rods on ovory side, with- out alloys, and the stroets are 133 feet from ourb to curb, are clean, lavel and beautiful. There are waterworks, street cars, electrio and gas lights, and the most valuable build- ings. Perny 8. Heati, el THE OH10AGO BREEZE. One of the Worst Ever Known in That Oity. Cr10A6o, July 28.—From all accounts re- ceived to-day and this evening, last night's storm was one of the worst ever known in the history of the oity, both for the amount of rain fall and the damage done. Aside from the awful catastrophio at Twenty drst and Leavitt, where oight people were killed by a falling house, three lives are known to have been lost. One child was killed by lightnng and two men walking on the railroad track were stunned by a shock and killed by a yassing train. The damage to basements in the busi* ness portion of the city is very great, and in the residence districts many houses were more or less injured by the wind and light- ning, Along the streets in the out- skirts the storm may be traced by fallen trees and wrocked fonces and outhouse. Among a dozen other casualtios tho case is reported of & patrolman who, while reporting to the station sergeant over his patrol, was knocked senseless by a shock of electricity and is in a very serious condi- tion. The tremendous rainfall raised Chicago rivor rapidly, and all last night and to- day it has been flowing into* Lake Michigan At a speed of about six miles per hour. 'Tis reported that traces of the filthy water can bo discovered nearly as far out as the the g:lb. where Chicago’s water supply is taken Telegraph and telephone wires througho the city and suburbs were badiy used u[gl, n:lg to-day large gangs of men have been busily employed repairing damaxzes. The city fire ongines were to be scen seen' at! many pomts in the hoart of the ecity pumping out water from tho bascments of storcs, restaurants and other places. During the height of the storm last night, the propeller Boston, of the New York Central line, grain laden, coming down the south branch trom the elevator, be- came unmanageable on account of the swift current, and swung broadside to against @ bridge.

Continental Capitalists, Fearing a Rupture, Sending Their Money to London for Investment in This Country. WASHINGTOX BUREAD, Tre OMania Bre, 518 Founr TH STRERT, Wasnixatox, D, C., July 8. An English solicitor, who has boen in Washington for some woeks and who is con- nocted with some of the monied synaicates which are creating o much talk in the nows- papers at the present time, explained to-day the reason why so much forelgn capital is seeking investment in the United States Just at present, “In the first place,” ho said, “the syndi- cates are operated with English capital alto- gother. Money from all sections of the con- tinent is pourmg into London for the purpose of being invested in American enterprises. The reason for it? Woell, tho truth is that there is a widespread impression throughout the money centers of Kurope that the whole continent s drifting in the di- rection of war, This idea is growing rapidly and is ocausing =& withdrawal of money from enterprises throughout Etrope. It explains tho ronson for the great industrial depression which has prevailed for some time, and whioch seems to be on the inorease rather tnan on the de- croase. Capitalists are looking for somo- thing which will be safor than European stocks when this time shall come, and they are sending thelr money to this side of the Atlantic in order to be prepared when tho crash comes. This explains the talk so often heard now of English syndicates investing in all sorts of American enterprises.” It was learned from another sourco that tho solicitor himself had made preparations for heavy Investments for his clients, Wash- ington ral estate was to have been bought up in large blocks, so the story goes, but the discovery that the alien land_act prohibits tho ownership of land in the District of Co- lumbia by foreigners has settled the project for a while at least. MEREDITH INDIGNANT, Captamn Meredita, chief of the bureau of engraving and printing, is greatly annoyed over the stories which were printed last week to the effect that a plot had been dis- covered to print off a lot of government se- curities from the plates in his burean. Said Captain Meredith this afternoon: “The story was printed with a scare head in all the westoern papers and the following morning a denial was published in two lines. The yarn was an absolutely impossible one from the first, and 1 am surprised the managers of the Associated Press permitted themselves to send it out without making some attempt to find out whether or not it was true. The fact is that thero is such a perfect sys- tem of checks in the bureau that such a thing as an unauthorized issue of notes or securities 18 impossible. Each scrap of paper Is counted fifty-two times, and every particlo must be accounted for. The plates are checked in and out of the vaults and overy press is locked up as soon as it is stopped. The registers tell exactly how many sheets each press has printed and no one 18 allowed to leave the building at night until the reports show that everything is all right. A consplracy to print notes would have to take in nearly every one about tho building and would come to nothing then. No, the bureau of evgraving and printing has too many safeguards arouud it to make such a plot as that described possible for a day. WHAT'S 1T8 MISSIONT ‘Washington is to have & new woekly pa- per.

No Sympathy With Prohibitionists and Suffragists, WasmiNGTON, July 23.—Chairman Jones, of the national greenback committee, will, to-morrow, issue a circular letter in which he will say: “In reply to many inquiries from probibi- tionists, fomale suffragists and reoresonta- tives of other sentimental or semi-political organizations asking admission to our party or what action will bo taken by the coming greenback convention on the question they represent, I desire to say, with due respect to all who honostly advocate such _doctrines, that it is the unanimous opinion of the members of the national greenback convention to be held av Cincinnati, Seotember 1, to confine its declarations of principles’ to the ques- tions of restored fraternity and the spirit of true American nation- ality umong the ocntire people, opposition to tho dangerous sectionalism of the solid north_and the solid south, to the payment of public debts sccording’ to the original contracts under which they were 18sued, to money, land, transportation, trusts, boards of tradé gamblingon and making prices for American farm products, English capital manufacturing or handling the pro- ducts of Americun labor and to such other questions as affect the material interests and welfare of the American people and froe government.” Tho lotter then says thet trade and com- merce are languishing for want of moro money, and de that tne application of greenback principles would stimulate busi- noss and increase the prosperity of the labor- ing classes and of the morchant snd manu- facturer, BB G The Treasury Uash Counted.

ALWAYS OF GOOD JUDGMENT, Candidates in the Hawkeye State Already Beginning to Recognize tho Strength of tho Grangoer Vote. No Marked Change. Dis Morxes, Ta., July 23.. -[Speoial to Trn Bre.]—There has beon no marked change in volitical affairs during the past week. In- tense activity has charactorized the move- ment on behalf of all the leading candidates for the republican nomination. Huil, Wheolor and Hutchinson aro on the warpath and are industriously coaching the granger vote. The farmers never were so promiuent in Towa politics as they are this yoar, and the politicians aro beginning to roalize that the coming convention will be decidedly on the ‘‘granger” order. Des- perate efforts are being made by both Hull and Hutchinson to divide the farmers, but s0 far with only indifferent succoss. Vigorous efforts are being made to stop the ‘Wheeler stampede in the northern part of the state, but from present. indications unly the two counties of Dickinson and Emmet in that seotion will be saved. These may go to Hutchinson. In Calhoun county, which adjoins Sao, a lively political contest is going on. The sol- dier elomentis solid for Hull, but the alliance influence is almost a unite for Whealer. Cal- houn may possibly eiect a divided delegation. A new candidate, in the person of W. W, Crapo, has beon brought out by Des Moines county, but this is probably only for effect. The delegates from this county will be solid for Hutchison when the proper time comes, and so will the wholv southeastern part of the state, with the exception of a few scat- tering votes that will be given to Huil, The desperate effort of the corporations to calla halt in anti-monovoly legislation is extending the fight to the legisiative dis~ tricts. The state senate has always been the bulwark of the corporations, and thoy are bending every energy toward maintain- ing control of that body. Poweshiek ani Keokuk counties have just nominawd for the state senate W. . (“over, of Grinnell, who is largely engaged in manufacturing and who hoaded a deegation of tobbyists two years ago that cams up to tho capital to op- o0se ‘‘radical leg‘slation.” It is safe to say is nomination is entircly satisfactory to the railroads. In the counties of Hardin, Hamilton and Wright a unique triangular contest is going on. The corporations first brought out F. S, Ellsworth, of lowa Falls, as a representative from Hardiu and L. A. McMurray, of Web- ster City, who is not 80 pronounced a rail- road man, was urged by Hamilton. Wright county, which is the smatler of the three, had no candidate, but finally Mr. W. B. Tyrell, a farmer and stock raiser, was in- duced to taka the fleld and the fight is wax- ing warm. The Farmers® nlliance is extremely well organized in all of these counties, and the contest at the primaries between the mens-~ bers of the alliance and the ‘‘old timers” promises to be no child’s play. It looks now as if a compromise will be made on. McMur- ray. Should Ellsworth be nominated a belt of no mean dimensions is almost sure to follow, and the more than two thousand republican majority in_that senatorial district would likely be wiped out, Even should the cor- poratipns capture these two districts they would only be “holding their own.” The first name,was represeunted in the last senate by @ blatant corporation tool named Dooley, who was_ elected us a greenbacker and anti- monopolist, but who fell by the wayside and was led a willing victim into the corporation camp. The other district was represen by Weber, of Clarion, who blew both hot and cold as the occasion demanded, but who gon- orally voted with the enemy when nocessary to defeat anti-monopoly moasnres. Among the members of the last senate who have been effectually shelved by the anti- monopoly crusade is the brilliant "“Talt Clark,” of Page. Seuator Clark 18 a strong prohibitionist and was tho authorof the Clark prohibitory law, perhaps the most radical measure of the kind ever enacted by a state legisluture. He went to the sume ex- treme in orposition to railroad legislation, and seemed to entertain a superstitious rev- erence for ‘‘vested interests” when mani- fesied in the formof watered railroad stooks, but held up his hands in holy horror at the bare thought of compensating the brewers and distillers for their losses occasioned by the enforcement of prolibition. The farm- ers of Page and Tremont have ‘‘salted” Clark for good, and he 18 now out‘of politics, at least till the corporations are once mors in the saddle. Rax. SHAME DROVE HER TO 1T. Maud Jones Makes An Unsuccossful Attempt at Su de. An unsuccessful attempt at suicide was the way in which Maud Jones endeavored to ovade arrest last night. It is generally un- derstood that Maud is the wifo of ono Tom Jones, who was m the employ of the Palace stables until last Saturday night. They havg been rooming inthe block just east of the Arcade hotel, known as the Spigle block, which has boen complained of by the hotel peole as being occupied by disreputable women. Last night Captain Greou and Sergeant Haze went up into the building to investi- gate. When they opened the door of the room occupied by the Jones family & scene was disclosed whicl—but sullice to say Maud was in a very compromising attitude with a young man not her husband. As soon as she saw the oficers Maud snatched up a small box containing three or four one-oightl grain morphine pills and exclaiming, “I won't go," swallowed # pill and immediately went into hysterics in the most approved manuer. She was laid on tho bed and a physician summoned, who pronounced her hyste but not in & serious condition. $ho kept re- poating tho oxpressien, ‘For God's sake. don't tall Tommy.” Her husband came in soon _after she had taken the pill and did not seem to be aware of his wife's infidelity, although it would seom strange if he be iznorant of it. Fe at once went to a drug store to have a prescrip- tion filled. 4 “The young man in the case is William An- derson, who is ewployed in the Monitor chop house. He was placed under arrest.
