The Schuetzenverein is now rapidly perfecting arrangoments for a grand tournament to be beld at their range out at Ruser’s park. The * tourney will open up on Wednesday next, the 28th, and continue to the 30th inclusive, ‘There will be both short and long range com- petitions, and the prizes will aggrogate nearly #1.000 in value. Invitations have been sent 1o all the well known ritle shots of Iowa, Missouri, Dakota and Kansas, and the munagement is expecting u large attendance from abroad. The Omaha Schuetzenverein can boast of the finest, most complete and attractive range in the west.

KEddy bas develoved into a hard hitter, and occasionally makes howme run: Tuere are no less than forty-eight ex- League and_Association pluyers at present playing in the Western association.

The cause, it is ramored, that the swarthy Cedar Rapids twirler hud a falling out with Anson. Mains, St. Paul's clongated twirler, made agreat record for himsolf the other day. He gave thirteen men_bases on balls, had five wild pitches, and hit two men. Pitcher Krock, formerly with the Chi- cago and Indianapolis National leaguo clubs, has signed with Milwaukeo, and will pitch in their game to-day with Des Moines. Grand Rapids, Mich., would like to take Swux City’s place in the Western associa- tion, but the Western association has too many burgs of Grand Rapids’ stripe already. They are still talking down 1n Kearney about the home team’s victory over Mil- wankee. The Omahas play there next Friday, and they expect to take thoir acalps, too. Tho sale of John Barnes' St. Paul club to Mike Roche is all a bluff, Baroes still holds his stock, and instead of receiving $15,000 for it, he couldn’t get £2,500. Bobby Black, late of Wilkesbarre, has signed a Sioux City contract. The Indians’ outfleld, which is composed of Glenn, Black aud Clifie, is second to none in the Western association. Pickett's avm gets worse instead of botter, and he is not likely to play much this season, He got wet and caught cold in his arm dur- ing an_exhibition pame in Indiuna on the b's lust eastern trip.

The usual tremendous Sundauy crowd will be present and it wouldu't be & bad idea to go out early and get a good seat. Ted Sullivan is making a hanasome income dealing in the purchase and sale of ball play- ers, He was i this city all last woek en- deavoring to secure at least an option on Crooks, Clurke, Nagle and Nichols, The Washington league club wants Crooks, Brooklyn wants Nagle and Clarke, and Col* umbus aud Cincinuati, Nichols, There will have to be a stop put to the per- nicious practice of loaning players sooner or later, or disastrous results in wore ways than one will bp the consequence. Players have the poweF to remedy this matter them- selves.

The club1s uot a losing nvestment, figuring the value of the individual players aud the franchise, but people should not ex- pect one or two men: only to stand the bur- den of the expenses, which are enormous. I have u chance to get three first-class men at once, to tuke the place of some who )mvu been responsible for the of recent games, and if the merchants show a disposition to help the club, I'll promise them a rattling team for next year, which will start out on a pay- ing basis. Since we huve been playing ball, St. Joseph has been mentioned more fre quently in one issuo of the great newspapers than formerly in thirty, You can find the scores of the St. Joseph games daily 1n_the Globe-Democrat, Chicago Tribune, New York Herald and other metropolitan papers, and just now, when peopla are beginning to look for news of the city, it is of inestimable importance to those who have money in- :'uutmll in real estate and in business to main- am it.” Miscellaneous Sports, Doves are now affording great shooting.

The Waters of Bitterness. Mirrorp, Neb., August 10.—[Special to THE Bre.]—The frequent visits of the Omaha, Otoe and Pawneo Indians to Milford with their sick during the early settlement of that borough and their encampment in a picturesque bend of the river just ovpositethe Lith- ium springs gave rise to many in- quiries. By persistent efforts on the part of the editor of the Blue Valley Record, the first paper of Milford, the ollowing legend was elicited, and has never before been published, owing to the abseuce of one link that has but re- cently been supplied: Many years ago the Otoes and Paw- nees were united under one or- ganization, and presided over by a wise chieftain by the name of Quenchaqua, Under his leadership happiness und prosperity reigned. The Omahas be- came their strong allies,nnd they waged successful war on the murderous Sioux j@nd Cheyennes when occasion required, and that was quite frequently, for the braves of the last named tribe, who oc- cupied vast tracts to the west and north- west, gave chase to the herds of Buffalo, s those animals made their regular visits to the Salt Basing. Quenchaqua nad a daughter, THE FAIREST AND BES of the prairie flowers, which entitled her to the name of Shogo. The troph- 1es of the chase adorned her wigwam, None were more attentive to her than the young chieftains, Kolhama, of the Pawiees and Popotne, of the Otoes, The rivalry bred discore. Fair Shogo decided that Popotne was good, but Kolhuma was far better, and iu this comparative jydgement the aged chief- tain coincided, hen a division of te ritory became necessary., The Utoes were given the territory east of the river, whose waters flowed to the north- ward, and the Pawnees a broad expanse of territory west of the river flowing to the southward, while the prairie be- tween remained neutral. A union of forces became necessa to repel in- vasion and so continued until the death of Quenchaqua, which must have been rior to the time when Coronado went n search of the Seven Cities of Cibola. After several years entrangement, Popotne sent a’ swift messenger to Kolhama to request him to meev the Otoes in council at the Salt Licks for an adjustment of difficulties. The Pawnee chieftain, ever ready to reunite with his brave allies, obeyed the re- quest and together wuh a few of his wise counselors wended their way to- wards Lhe rising sun to the appointed lace., The lithsome Shogo rode with im. Arriving at the designated spot where bubbling springs quenched the thirst of the weary travelers, they met snd exchanged greetings, The pres: ence of Shogo aroused the green eyed monster, and aespite the good inten= tions of the Otoe chieftain, the prepond } erance of nati treachery directed a stealthy blow tl 1 Kolhama low. The deed was done, but the avenging SPIRIT OF QUENCHAQUA AROSE from the spring and slew Popotne and put to flight his warriors who were about to follow the example of their leader in waging a war of annihilation on thei The tomahawk of the dead slay blood stains in the t of Quenchaqua seizing the washed its waters which were turned to bitterness, and he decreed that it should be unfit for mun or beast for man iy winte) Then turning with the weeping Shogo and her follow= ers they departed towards the setting sun, Oue-h: day’s journey brought them to a rapidly iowing stréam where beds shad- trees and winding Proceeding to the west of »r the spirit of Quenchaqua SMOTE TIHE ROCK under a huge elm tree and out sprang a \ pure water over wh rted Shogo presided, healing the wounded and curing the sick of her nation until the Big Medi- cine water became o panacea. Shogo was now the acknowledged queen of the Blue valley, hergood deeds and self-sacrificing devotion to her peo= ple rezounded throughout the nation, and she wasthe recipient of many favors and worshioned as one who had direct communication with the Great Spirit, A high promontory situated a few hui= dr yards to the southward of the Big Meaicine water, adorned by sturdy oaks and overlooking Kego rapids, where the waters of the river lap the sepuls chered banks was the quiet retreat of Shogo, as she watched the rising sun and appeared to HOLD SWEET COMMUNION with the depurted chieftain Kolhama, This hubit guve prominence to her sup= posed supernatural powers, and the pice turesque elevation was held sacred by her dusky followers. Years elupsed and a strange people a in helmets and armor of brass camo from the south und learning the story of the Indian queen, pursunded her that the one she mourned now inhabited the happy hunting grounds situated many hundred miles to the southwest, beyond mouutain and stream, and that they were sent as special messengers to carry her to the realm of delight. Their strnge tongue and gorgeous array, unknown but in mythi- cul traditions of her own people, added plausibility to their representations and coinciding with her drenms of the future, she was willing to undergo the hardships of dreary march and cam, to again join the companion of her yout! Thus allured she was persuaded to nos company the cavaliers, with a few usted companions, and after the sucris fice of a spotted fawn,on the promontory and dedication of the springs to the 1 ! afflicted of her nation, SHE BADE THEM FAREWEF y nevermore Lo be seen, but ever shipped us u guardian uunn.
