Jack Crooks, Omaha's popular second baseman, and one of the most promising players in the profession, was sold through the sporting editor of Tur Ber to the Amer- ican association clublat Columbus, O, Tues day evening, the price received being $1,7% or just 8750 less than could have been realized on him two weoks ago. President McCor- mick telegraphed A. C. Buckenberger, the Columbus manager, his acceptance of the price offered and permission to proceed with his arrangements with Jack, and by this time next week Jack will be enlivening the local park at Columbus with his cheery “Well! well!l look at that!” He is a great young player, and his hosts of friends here all wish him the best of success in the American association, and have no fears but that he will be abie to hold his own ‘With the best players in that body. Selee Goes to Boston, There is no doubt but that this 18 the last season of Frank Selee's managament for Omaha, yet there is a slight likelihood of his remaming another yoar, He has a fine offer from Mr. Soden, of the Bostons, to manage the great Bean-Eaters next soason, and can- not very well do unything but avail himself of this fine opportunity to go to the front in base ball matters, He has mude an ex cellent manager for Omaha, and rather than &0 buck on his word to President McCor- mick, will remain nere next year, if the club insists upon it. Appreciating Omaha Talent. Tt looks Just now as if Omaha could close .out at good round fizures no less than six of ‘ber best players, and the management will 40 a wise thing by selling. Nagle, Clar! Knell, Nichols, Coonex and Walsh have all been bid for, However, only one or two of the sales will be mude—probably Ciarke and Nagle. Nichols will not be sold this season ‘ut any price. W hat Knell Cost. Young Kuell, St. Joe's fine young twirler, was secured by Omaha for a mere song. He cost just §100 in mot ey to the St. Joe man- agement and $190 to Kaell, back salary due him by St. Joe.

Loxpox, Sept. 18.—Work on the docks has assumed its normal aspect. Fewer non- union men are employed and many of the mon engaged to fill the places of the strikers are joining the union, There have been no attacks this morning upon “blacklegs' by the men who took part in the recent strike. The directors of the dock companies have sent a protest to Cardinal Manning and the lord mayor, pointing out cases of violence on the part of the strikers since the agreewent for the settlement of the strike was arrived at, and stating a number of men are refusing to submit to the terms of the agreement. They ask the cardinal and lord mayor to use their influence in the interests of peace. A conference was .held to-day between Cardinal Manning, the lord mayor and the directors of the dogk companies relative to tho attitude of the Strikers.

BrAtRicE, Sept. 18.—[Special to Tme Bee, | —Lattle of interest transpires in Camp Grant worthy of special mention, The sut- ler and his minus watermelons is still tho all-absorbing theme of that dignitary and the utter abolishment of the whole militia establishment of Nebraska is now the only thing that will pacify him, The sick list this morning brought out threo or four cases of gripes, and the vic- tims have already filed an application for a pension in order to lose no arrearage when the tinal adjustment of their claim is made. Colonel Charley Bates, while carrying a very important order to the right of the Line yestorday, undertook to clear a post” hole mounted, and aire disaster unwediately fol- lowed. The horse went into the hole and tried to take the vatiant adjutant general in with him, The colonel kicked, and took a flying leap over the animal’s head and lit about ten feet distant. The horse and the colonel are unhurt, but the latter has cor- ralled a suflicient number of witnesses to put his pension application in indisputable shape. An_interesting feature of yesterday’s par- ado was the governor's effort. to ride ‘‘Lin- den Tree.” ~The goyernor mounted - the horse all right enough in town, and rode out to camp on him. Upon reuching camp he rode up to General Colby to shakehands with the field commander of all the Nebraska troops, but somehow or other ‘‘Linden Tree'’ didn’t like the appearance of - General Colby or the horse he was riding and_began to act rambunxious. The result being that the governor had to dismount or be tumbled oft in a manner wholly unbecoming the chief ex- ecutive of the great state of Nebraskn. The governor hundled the spirited horse coura- geously for awhile but wisely coneluded that u younger and more active .man had better ride him and turned him over to oue of his staff while he rode a horse of more plebean blood. The cavairy company has boeu doing picket duty for a night or two apd as a result the boys are having a rocky time getting through the lnes to visit town. This is especially hard on a number of soldiers who bave made some very effective mashes in the suburbs. There was a lively sensation in camp for & few moments yesterday through the grass catching fire from one of the cook tents. It was fortunately extinguished before gawing much headway. The most serious trouble the national guardsmen have tocontend with is the abom- inable sand burrs. The grass is literally filled with them and they arcé of the most villainous charac:er, too. ~They have insin- uated themselves into the blankets to that extent that some of the boys.are thinking se- rionsly of going up town to_sleep if they can :Jribu the guards to let them through the ines. Company E, second regiment, has a mas- cot in the shape ol a brindle cat, that volun- tarily took up 1ts quarters with the company. The boys think of making it a corporal. Company A, first regimont, enjoys the dis- tinction of having the most quiet soldier in the brigade. He is a mute and bears the' rvame of Henry W. Funk He acts in the capacity of company cook. D. L. Davis, of the First régiment, has been appointed encampment postmaster. C. F. Collins, of company I, First regi- ment, hus been appointed brigade bugler, with the rank of sergeant. The second regiment officers mat last even- ing and elected Colonel Bills aid-de-camp to the governor lieutenant colonol of the regi- ment. Colonal Bills 1s one of tho most pop- ular ofticers of the brigade, and his promo- tion is in every way deserving. The competition drill for the governor's challenge cup has been narrowed down to the Fairbury and Fremont companies. The drill took place this afternoon, but the result is withbeld.
