Manager Selee says the team never was in finer shape, and that they are putting up a really phenomenal game of ball. There 18 not a sore or stiff man in the team, and they look like a gangof thoroughbred race horses. Clarke and Nichots are i exceptionally good trim, and both are vitching better than ever. Clarke did much the greater portion of the work on the late trip, which has, as a consequence, left Nichols in an extraordi- narily good condition. He pitched Sunday at St. Joe, and the boys all concur in the verdict that they mnever beheld greater speed or better curves. There 18 no denying it, in Clarke and Nichois Omaha has a team of twirlers as strong as any pair in the country, and they are worth every penny of $10,000 to the club. Last nightthe team left for Sioux City for o series of games, returning here next Fri- day for four games with the Denvers, one on Friday and Saturd d two on Sunday. ‘The latter two will be played in the ufter- noon, but one admission being charged to the grounds. For the opening game on Friday next, the management intend to make a little extra demonstration in honor of the team’s great ‘work. It will be ladies’ day also, and a band ‘will be engaged to give an open air concert on the grounds just previous to the game. There is no doubt but that an overwhelming crowd will tura out to welcome the cham- pions home, and with Dave Rowe's sluggers they promise us a rattling good game. i Tne last games on the home grounds this season will be three transfer: from Des Moines here, on September 21, 22 and 23, On the 24th the team leaves on its final trip of the season, playing the last game at Milwau- kee on Thursday, the 20th. They will theu return to Omaha’ for a series of oxhibition games, and among the clubs that will prob- ably be bere within the following two weeks are the Cincinnatis and Kansas Citys, of the American_association, and the Cleve- lands and Indianapolis, of the National league, The boys have now the pennant practically ‘won, a8 it would require fifteen defcats out of the nineteen games yet to piay, to deprive them of this honor. So on next I'riday,when witnessing the conflict between the White Sox and the Mountain, the fans can con- gratulate themselves that they are looking upon the champions of 1500, Minneanolis 7, Des Moines 2.

WHOLE WEEK TO BE OCCUPIED. The Second District Congresstonal Convention Oalled For October 14 — Beatrice's New Depot Located—Nebraska News, Busy Scenes at Camp Crook Fort Komysoy, Neb., Sept. 0.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee.]—It was o busy Sun- day in camp. The rumble of wagons and rattle of wheels resounded all day through the garrison as supplies and am- munition for the expedition of to-day have veen. collected at Camp Crook preparatory 10 the morning's breaking of camp. Four- teen thousand rations were added and eighty thousand rounds of ammunition 18~ sued. Forty pack maules from Chey- enne brayed melodiously, and twice that number of officers swore - as stentoriously over what they call “‘monkey business war.” The prospect of seven days in the fleld dodging barved wire fences and bombarding farm houses with blank cart- rid ges, while the rear gnards are cautioned against attacks which theydo mot fear, to protect the wagons for which they have no use, has cast a dampener over the spirits of an overworked camp, Still orders are or- ders, and officers and men busied themselvs to carry out instructions to the let- ter. The camp 18 now doeserted for a week in charge of a single captain with 150 men under him. The re- mawing twenty odd hundred mon are tramp- ing through the dust to essay war with three skeleton brigades and the department com- mander as aciprs und a host of grangers as interested spectators. The command broke camp in three bri- gades, the first moving at 7, the second at 9 and the third at 11 in the morning. The cavalry and artillery were divided among the brigades as 1 division drills. The first brigade, General Kautz, commanding, took up its march up Soldier creek, acting as if a retreating army, with the cavalry forming a rear guard. The re- maining brigades, as pursuers, followed after and will sttempt to intercept and flank the fiest brigade if they can. After a long and dusty murch ull the commands will go into camp, when the programme will proba- bly be reversed on the nextday, chunged upon the next sueceeding, metamorphosed on the fourth, amended on the fifth, and so on until the seventh, 1t is not surprising that after two weeks of dust, dirt and sun the amount of enthusiasm manifested in the command of the coming week’s performance is not visible to the naked eye. Pay day closed Saturday night by order of the department command- er. All the stores in the immediate neigh- borhood of the camp were closea early in the evening. The result was an exodus of 600 soldiers to Crawford, where the night was made hideous until the morning stars gavo place to the sun, and scores of dismantled doughboys and 'troopers were lugged home in wagons and hacks from the town, while the crack of revolvers nud the yells of the inmates indicated thav the eighboring home were doing a land office business. hats put on oe horns this morning, of sore heads nf barked shins among the tramping coats who s od out on the march. eneral Crook, with a party of thirty, teft this morning on a tour of observation in the Big Horn mountains. The party will direct most of their attention to observing whether the game buntry is yev extinct. Sixty mules animala will form part of the ca n, and two army officers, three guests and thirty-five enlisted men, team- sters, Indians, squaws and papooses, will comvlete the expedition.
