The superiority of the former club over the latter was apparent from the first. On the whole, however, the game disap- pointed the great crowd that greeted the players, By ths crowd generally it was re- garded as a hippodrome. Over half the spec- tators left the grand stand during the 1ast half of the seventh inning because of a rank decision of the umpire in favor of the pennant club. Willis lined a ball over first on a clear hit and v hit the right fully three feet, making a foul. He decided it a + fair hit and held to his decision. The jeers and hisses and hoots from the crowd wore merclless. Cuashions were hurled into the rounas by excited spectators and for a time t seemed that the game would break up in a yow. After thd major purt of the crowd had left the grounda _the game was played 1o a finish. Fully 2,000 people were on the " grounds. Score: —omoc=s £233 € , 1 Deviin, p Totals. .

There will be two games for one price, the first beginning at 2:30 sharp, and the second immediately after the completion of the first. This is a great inducement for “the lovers of the greatsport, and a tremen- dous crowd will assuredly turn out in return for this stroke of liberality on the part of the management. The St, Joes are putting up some fine ball, and it will tax the White Sox to thewr utmost to keep them down. They ‘will do well if they break even.

Budd, of Des Moines, and the champion wing shot of Americs, and Frank S. Parmelee, of this city, and one of tho best trap shots m the country, have both been challenged by Al Bandle. The challenges are fora one hundred live bird match for 8500 a side, both shoots to take place at Cincinnati during the big tourna- ment which comes off in that city during the last weok in September. Both Budd and Parmeleo will accept, and both stand an excellent chanco of beating the Queen city crack. These matches® will attract wido- spread attention on account of the wonder- ful shooting Bandle has been doing during the past year, and tho fact that he has shot and beat most of the notable shots of tho country. What Joe Walsh Says. *‘One thing that has helped Omaha to get and keep the present position,” said Joe Walsh to & reportor, “is the fact that per- fect harmony prevails in the team. I have played balla good while, but I never was yet in a team composed of such thoroughly good fellows. The boys all like each other, and work well together, and thero is an en— tire absence of -those little inside rings and rows that huve paralyzed the chances of many a team that were just as good as ours, Theke 180°t another team in: the association, or any other association, as free from dissen- ‘sion as the Omahhs: Jimmy Lindsay’s Condition. Jimmy Lindsay, the instructor of the Gate City club, 18 undoubtedly one of the most promising middle weight pugilists of the day, and just now would be able to make a creditable showing with any man in his class 1n the country. He is in great fettle, and intends to keep himself so. He exer- cises daily with the big ball, fighting the bag and taking long walks. The reason Jimmy 18 anxious to keep himself in condi- tion is that he has several important engage- ments on hand this fall, oue of which may come off in no less a place than the Southern California Athletic club rooms, Mr. Raley, of London. J. W. Raley, of London, England, is in the city. Mr. Raley is willing to walk, square heel and toe, from five to twenty-five miles against any and all comers. If he cannot make a match of this kind he will walk any three men fifteen iniles, they to walk five miles each and he the fifteen straightaway. T'hess matches are proposed for any reason- able stake. Mr. Raley can be addressed through the columns of TuE I3k, The Races Next Week. The races at the fair next week will assur- edly be the finest and best that have ever been beld here. There 18 alarge list of nota- ble horses entered, both urotting and pacing, and the management are making prepara— tions for a week of great sport. T'here will be a number of siae events of an extraordi- narily attractive nature, and a match race or two that will make upa splendid programme. The Purps Will Fight, The fight between Prof. Ed Miller's fa- mous fighting dog, Pilot, and Billy Wells',* Slophouse, jr., has been fixed for September 14, within twenty-five miles of Couneil Bluffs. Billy Wells resides in Des Moines, and his dog, a pure white, has a record fully up to Pilot's standard. The fight will be for 500 a side. The Wrestlers Coming Back, Evan Lewis, the Strangler, snd D. A. McMillan, the Strong Man, who gave suc b a clover wrestling exhibition at the Coliseum several weeks ago, will retura 1o Omana the latter part of September, to make good their challenge to throw any man in the state seven times an hour for a purse of $250, Here's a Stake, Leon.

A DAKOTAN'S VIEWS, The Road Between Omaha and Yankton—Politics and Politiclans. Hon James H, Teller, ex-secretary of Da- kota tezritory, und a brother of Senator Tel- ler, of Colorado, was at the Paxton yester- day. Since his retirement from office about four years ago, Mr, Teller hus been a resident of Yanlkton, the metropolis of southeastern Da- kota, and has devoted nearly all of his time to the improvement of the commercial in- terests of the city near the confluonce of the James and Missour: rivers. Mr. Teller is the president of the Yankton & Norfolk railroad and is now en reute home from & visit made ta the commercial centers of the eastin the interest of the pro- Jected line, i B “Ido not think" said Mr, Teller, “that the commissioners of Douglas county and the board of trade of Omaha are fully alive to the importance of a direct line of raitroad frow fhis city to Yankton and the James river valley. If they had been, they would have taken action at least four years ago to secure connection with that region, As it is now the haul isso long us to préclude our seading our produce to this market or trading with Omana. *It is the intention of the company which I represent,” continued Mr. Teller, ‘‘to build our line from Yankton to Norfolk as socn as possible, and that will very materi- ally change the status of affairs, The con- tract, for the grading of the road bed has already been let and if possible the con- tractors will begin work this secason, but 1f the work shall not be commenced this vear, it certainly will be next spring. We have an excellent river crossing at Yankton and for a time shall cross our trains by wmeans of a transfer boat, but this will only be tempor- ary. We have a franchise to build a bridge at Yankton and it is only a question of time when it will be built, ‘“You have, doubtless, read of the discov- ery of cement three miles from Yankton, A day or two bafore I left home I was called in by the owners of the quarries to witness a test of the article, and taking the tests made with other cements. found in the United State and comparing it with that of Yankton, there is no doubt but that ours vastly exceeds all others made in- the United States in streagth, and the supply is inex- haustible." Mr, Teller has been east for several months and consequently has rather Jost the trend of potitical affairs in the embryonic states, but from the information he had gathered from the newspapers, he s of the opinion that the coming contest will be :a hov one. The farmers’ alliance, ‘he. says, is muking strenuous efforts to carry everything, and it is an open question whether they will or not. ‘There 1s no doubt about the election of Mel- lette for governor. pMr. Mellette, in his upin- jon, is & very ordinary man, and he accounts for the mnon-opposition to him only by the fact that he was elected at 8 pseudo election in 1885, and being a man of some plausibility he h succceded o keu'xlu dn the swim, Unless the tarmers’ alliance captures things. Moody and Pettigrew will Dbe elected senators and John R. Gamble will be sent to the lower house, Judge Edgerton is still in the senatorial race, but Mr. Teller is of the opinion that he desires more to be elected to a judgeship and that he making the fight for senator to effect such i compromise as Lo obtain nis desired object. As to the selection of u gapital city, Mr. Teller thinks that Watertown is entirely out of the race and that the fight is now between Tinux Falls, Miwhell, Huron and Pierre, ‘fhere bas been some ill-feeling manifested by the people of tne territory aganst Huron, begotien by that city's greedingss. Huron wants everything, ~ Mr. Teller thinks that the question as to whether prohibition will carry in South Dakota is & question to be decided only by the election. He thinks that there are but little odds either way. i Cushman’s Menthol juhaior coros catarrh, headuche, nouralgis, asiima, lay fover! Trial fred at your druggist.

Canr Grorae CrooR, (via Fort Robinson, Neb.,) August 27,—[Special to Tar Brs. |—A brigade drill, tho first which many of the of- ficors nresent have witnessed since the days of the war,took place §esterday morning. The sound of “‘first call” in five camps, a hurrying of mounted aides und grouping of general officers on the brigade line marked its ‘comwencement. ‘A fow minutes later 2,500 men swung- into line and marched Into the open fleld and the manmuvres began. Colonels Kautz, Wheaton and Bluat com- manded the infantry, Colonel Tilford the cavalry and Captain Kinzia the artillery. To the bystander the evolutions differed little, except in the masses of troops en- gaged, from those of battalion drill. There ‘were the same quick changes. of alignmeny and front the metamorphosis of small squares of bluo coats into larger ones, of columns into skirmish line, of skirmishers into flankers, bugle calls shrilly sounding, followed by simultaneous or successive movements of both” legs, arms and rifles, positiops securod and released, guidons ad- vancing and retreating and color - lines kaleidescopioally mingling amid the compo- nent parts of a_machine, all apparently ai- rem:fl from a little group of men on horse- acl % To the educated soldier, however, it meant much more. . Iv was the inception of grand tactics and the fire comwmands ma- noeuvroing in the little valley were putting into execution precisely the movements Which they might be called upon to execute Aor the defense of the country and in the face of an_enemy. They were poerforming exactly the tactics which the veteran colgnels directing the mancouvres had had occasion to use twenty-five years ago, when their heads were not 8o gray as they are at present, and when promotion on the fleld 100k the place of flles gained by the opera- tion of the sixty-four year law. ‘The Ninth cavalry, forming a separate command under Colonel Tilford, operated in the northwestern part of the valloy. Those who doubt the ability of the colored troopers to drill should have witnessed the excellent work dons by the colored cavalrymen. It evidenced a familiarity with tactics on the partof officers and men and a discipling and vigor which would surprise auy and all doubters. The dash and nerve and good horsemanship displayed were noticea ble. As the present encampment is the first_op- portunity afforded the regiment for united driil since 1ts _organization, the fewness of mistakes made agd the general precision of the movements, speaks volumes for its mor- ale and reflects great credit upon the fidelity of its ofticers r:rd the hard work of its men. Colonel Edward Hatch, recently deceased, was the colonel of the 'Ninth horse from its organization until his death last spring, and took during his pnfire connection with 1t, great pride in n@mhlinlng its high standard. His successor, Colonel Tilford, lately of the Seventh cavalry, has also takon up tho work of sustaing tLe prbof that the colored man can soldiern ghrrison and camp and on the fled, side by sds with the other twenty- eight regiments of white cavalry and iv- fantry. 3 The artillery cotimand is a small one, con- s1sting of a single battery of, guns from Fort Douglas commghdéd, by ~Captain David Kinzie, of the Fifth artillery, but it1s as automatic in Yhe prévision of its movements asa Jurgenson Wnich and as rapidin its evolutions as #& tfoop of cavalry on the charge. It adds life and color to the mimic engagement taklng place in the valley of Soldier creek and completesthe command of General Brooke by giving him all arms of the service for use in the campaigns, With brigade mancéiivres commences tha imstruction in grand tactics, to which last weelk’s work has led up. Many of the old veterans who command companies still, instead of regiments as they would under any other goverfiment, find little of novelty 1 the evolutions. They went through them years ago on the Tennessee, the Mississippi, the Cumberland and the Potomac. They took part in such excrcises then with regi- ments three times tho size of the present commands and with brigades, any one of which 1f armed with the present breech loading Springfield, could have wiped p Crook out like a chalk mark on a billard table. But few of the first and second lieu- tenants have ever manceuvred with such large commands or tented on such an ex- tended fieid. There is to such a_feature of novelty which does not obtain in the cases of others, and which increases the interest in the hard work in which ail are called upon to participate. The new arrival from West Point may compare unfavorably the drill of some com- panies with that of the corps of cadets. He muy laugh in his sleeves at the occasional mistakes of company or troop commanders, or criticise the evolutions of the battalion, but he knows, after all, that Camp George Crook, like its '. namesake, has little &t the chromo spectacular and 8 RO deal of busine councealed around its surroundings. Tramping over dusty hummacks, climbing up butte slopes, swinging into column of fours with the rignt resting in a ravine and the left on a knoll, is very different from. marching on the smooth levelof a parade groudd., Ef- ficiency, not grace, 18 the object to be at- tained and which 'is bemg attained under General Brooke's orders in the camp of mili- tary instruction which he is_ commanding. It woula be unfair not to say thut he is being most cheerfully supported by every brigade, regimental, company and troop commanders, and that there Is everywhere manifested an earnest desire to make the first great sum- mer camp of the army such an. unguestioned snceess that it may haye Imnl{ successors in the department of the Platto in the years to come, ‘There 18 not a regiment on the fleld here to-day which has not seen lopg and active campaigning among the Indians since the war, Several have fought oyver the very ground where thx camp s situated, The visit yesterday of 4 large band of Ogallala Sioux “under * Young-Man-Afraid-of-His- Horses, later the arrival of a pumber of lodges of Chovenues under Yel- low Hair wis not devoid of interest.

Figuring Out Democratic Justice of the Peace Distriots. Commissioner O'ICeefle is puzzlea. He was puzzled yestorday afternoon. Under the ne law abolishing the present the city will be divided into three districts, Mr. O'Keefe wondered how he might fix it 80 that at least two of these districts would be safely democratic. And it puzzled him. But not for long. He figured it out that if the First, Third and Fifth wards were made the Kirst district, wards Second, Seventh and Fourth apportioned for the Second, and Sixth, Eighth and Ninth for the Third dis- trict, ho would gain his point. “I'want %o put in two democraiic districts, and the democrats can do it if they want to,” said Mr. O'Keeffe. *This is a democratic boards isn't it? rather defiantly. Only a few moments later, however, Mr. O’Keoeffe as heartily as any of his colleagues denounced-the danger and duplicity involved in gerrymandering. He wanted to give each party ome district, and 80 apportion the third one that it would be fair, fighting Eround. He only wanted what was fair. So, to begin with, he would have district No. 1 composed as given above. This should be the douvtful ground, in which the average democratic majority has been thirty-six votes, “Six hundred majority if it's one, dead sure,” whispered Corrigan, and added ad- miringly: “‘That.O'Keeffo is a schemer."" “No. 2,” the schemer continued, ‘18 demo- cratic by a safo majority of 300 to 400, and the third one, wards six, eight and nine, is republican by about the same majority." O’Keeffe, as might have been oxpected, hinted that Anderson was playing into the hands of the republicans by voting to cou- striict district No, 1 out of wards one, two and three, which would give democratic majority of over thousand, and leave the other two districts at the mercy of the republicans. The remaining districts, s Anderson proposed to have them, would in- clude the fourth, fifth and sixth wards in No. 2, with a republican majority of from 300 to 700, as variously computed by O'Keefle and Corrigan. No. 3, composed of wards seven, nine and six, the outlying wards, would give a rousing republican majority, about 800 or 900, Corrigan thought. Corvigan voted for an_apportionment sim- ilar in all respects to O'Keeffe's. Mount and Turner agreed that one, two and three would have to ba the first district because they lie right together. Kor No. 2they proposed four, seven und nine, which they claimed were by any means a certainty for the re- publicans; and five, eight and six, which were for No. 3. Two ballots were cast, but as no one changed, and the hour was late, it was da cided to conclude the work at the next Sat- urday meeting. Louis Heimrod asked the board, for the Merchants’ week committee, to agree to light and decorate the court house during the Merchants’ week. O'Keeffo grumbled about the expenso and the matter was referred to the committee of the whole, which will not act until next Suturaay. e A Catarrh cured, shealth and sweet breath secured by Shiloh’s Catarrh Remedy.

ATTACKED BY HIS IRATE WIFE. She Mnakeos Several Viclons Javs With a Big Batcner Knite and Draws Blood Every Time, Mrs. Floyd's Marks of Affiotion. Colonel B. G. Floyd, of the Dinmond poo room, cama near passing in a. ohocks last night. Ho went homo about half-past 7 o'clock. Shortly afterwards ho started down town again, when Mra. Floyd asked hiin where he was going. Ho repliod that-ho was going down town. Mrs, Kloyd exclaimed, It you o you will go dead,”” and made a lunge at him with a huge butchor kaife, cute ting bim on the right arm, scvering an artory just below the olbow. She mude anothor vicious jab at him, cutting him.on the right leg above tho kneo. Floyd strnck at hor with his cane, bitting hor in tho face and raising a_large wolt along tho cheek and forehead. Ho grabbed for tho knife and caught hold of the blade, but Mrs. Floyd pulled it from his hand, nearly severing his fingers, The potice were attracted to the scenn and arrested Colonel Floyd on the charge of fighting. ~ Both partios wero taken 1o the station, where the colonel's wounds were dressed. Immediately after ho was cut he had the presence of inind to tie handkerchiofs about his arm above and m_low the cut, and this probubly saved his o. The colonel was released on $25 bonds and Mrs. Floyd was taken back to their home at 516 North Sixtoenth stroet. A Brr r eporter called at the above number and asked to see Mrs, Floyd to obtain her statement and con~ dition. 'Dr. Carter was in attend ance and very officiously volunteered the information that Mrs. Floyd could not bo seen, as she was 0ot able to talk to auy ono. At the same time Mrs, Floyd heard the conversation and kept calling oy and asking what was wanted, but the doctor persisted 1n his state- ment that she was not able to see any one. He refused, flat-footed, to state whether the lady was injured or 1n dangerous condition, and said it was not necessary to give out any information. He finally condescended to state that neither the colonel nor Mrs. Flovd were in a dangerous condition. When asked as to the truth of the report that Mrs. Floyd was_intoxicated when ~she attacked the colonel, he laughed and said she was sober now, with a peculiar accent on the “now,’ witich led the reporter to believe that the rumor was not unfounded. About 12 o'clock last night Mra, Floyd sent a messenger boy to the police . station, requesting the captain to send an_ officer up to the house. She said she was afraid her busband would come back and kili her, and announced her determination of shooting him if he attempted to iuterfere with her any more. The request was not granted, however, as Floyd said_he would stay down town until his wife was in more amiablo mood, Throws Three Handred Men Out. HorkiNTo, Mass., August 27.—The shoe factory of A.
