Bt Josen Omana 13, Des Moines 7. The base ball championship came to an end on the local grounds yesterday afternoon with a rather bum game between Omaha ana Des Moines. About three thousand spectators witnessed the battle, which was won by Omaha after a long drawn out and spiritless struggle. The bleachers had more fun than anybod and from the opening to the close they did little but yell and hoot and guy the players, both sides coming in for about an equal share of their attention. ‘Wandell, the man with the largest lungs on earth, was in his reserved seat just back of the reporters’ pew, and kept the auturnal atmosphere vibrating with dissonant vocifer- ations, Many of the spectators drew a long sigh of roliof when the contest was over, and Wan- del gave one last, despairing screoch and ran mcross the tield and climbed into his $4 buggy. They were overjoyed to get rid of the old caliope | Clarke and Messit, were in the points for Omaha, but neither distinguished himself. Dad pitched an indifferent game, and as & consequonce was basted hard. Hart aid the rotatiog for the Hawkeyes, and it was biff! bang! smash! from the moment Doescher yelled *“play Ball1” until the last man went out. But to describe the game by innings would bo & useless waste of a couple of cents worth of lead pencil, and the gentle reader will have 1o rest content with the information they can get out of the scoro, It might be well, however, to state that the Des Moines team, played like a lot of deo- crepid old women, and they ought to go home, split up their bats into kindling wood, 8nd go back on the farm.

Shooting will be dono in squads of five, After the first squad has shot three birds, no entries will be received. Prospects Kor Next Year. Omaba ball patrons can rest content that the Gate City will be represented next sea- son by a good strong team. All the present players will be reserved and none of them sold, with possibly the exception of Clarke, as the management has concluded that it will be more to them in the long run to keep the present team intact. Several new faces, though, will surely be seen here next year, and the regular team selected from the wen s gned. Those showing up best in prelimi- nary spring practice will constitute the regu- lar playing force. Auother thing Tue Bex is enabled to assure the lovers of the game is that new grounds will surely be secured for next season. It would be a breach of conti- dence to divulge their locauoa, but it can be said that they are not quite half as far from the postoffice corner as the present park, and most admirably situated as to transportation facilities. The di- mensions of the new grounds will be 376x 825, a vrifle swall, yet still as commodious as many that are being used in the country. Handsome new stands will be built, and all the accessories of an improved character. This, it is hoped, will tend to increase the at- tendance and enable Omaha to indulge in the hope of getting into one of the larger as- sociations at no distant day in the future. ‘Where the Boys Will Winter. Manager Selee and his team left for St. Paul last ovening and will return again no more until the robins best again. They will wind up the season at Milwaukee ou the 20th, be paid off and disband. Selee will go to Oshkosh for a two weoks' visit with old friends, tken hie himself to his borrow in Boston and lie dormant until spring. An- drews and Nagle will wiuter in Milwaukee, the latter having concluded not to go to Cali- forma. Strauss goes to Cincinnati; Knell to San Francisco; Clarke to_Oswego, N. Y.

NEBRASKA CITY'S GAMBLERS. They Run Wide Open Under the Noses of the Police—Closing Days of the Methodist Conference— Attempted Sulcide. He Will Stop Talking. Aununs, Nob., Sept. 21.—(Special to Tre Brr.]—The particulars of a somewhat sonsa- tioual eveny are coming to light in this city. Last spring a young man named Jim Mason was ousted from the Commercial house for non-payment of his board. This so angored him that he talked derogatory oconcerning the house and proprietors, and especially of Miss [dn Chrisman, daughter of the land- lady. Last weok ho made his appearance at the house again, and was again fired. On Wednesday night Miss Chrisman learned that Mason was sloeping in a livery barn run by her brother. Summoning the brother, she compolled him to escort hor_to the barn, whero she met Mason, knocked him down ana pounded him on the head with one of his shoos, which had become loosened 1n the fra- cas, until he begged for mercy, took back overything tio had said about her aod apol- ogized. She then let him up to go his way, while she went home and to bed as if nothing had happened. Nebraska City's Gamblers. Nenrask Ciry, Neb., Sept. 22.—[Special to Tur Bgeg.]—In this city gambling is car- ried on to Just as great an extent.and as openly as before the anti-gambling law was passed, and with the full knowledge of the police and other city officials. Noarly every saloon in town runs in connection with iv a card room and several professional games arervn in full blast day and night. The most notorious of these is run in the rear of saloon on Central avenue near Eighth street, and is conducted by a professional skin-game gambler, und is run as openly as ever a game was run in Nebraska City. The game is run on the most approved gambler's style, with cappers and all. A few days ago a well-known farmer living northwest of town, it is said, was let down to the tune of $300 in this hole, and later left his **T. O. U.” {for $40 more. In another case a poker game is run within speaking distance of the police court and city council chamver, and within full view of the police as they go'in and out of..the police court. O this game, it is said, several city officials are the most prominent patrons. No pretense is made to enforce the ldw in this respect, and one stance wiil show how_the police look upon the matter:- An officer passed by a window in full view of a poker game a fow evenings ago, and when he met one of the young camblers & few hours later he romarked: “I wason to yom, but that's all right.” There are at present in Nebraska City at least a dozen men who malke their hving by gambling, and all with the knowledge, if not approval, of the city officials.

The gentleman referred to is Mr, G. H. Hobert, he comes from Brooklyn, N, Y., ond. his countenance Somewhat resembles that of Charles Francis Adawms.

The railroads have made Waterloo what it is, and no candidate trom that town could be expected to develop any positive opposition to the wishes of his vene- factors, The democratic farmers who bo- long to the alliance will swallow Boies with a wry face, and some of them are likely to kick clear over the traces and vote for Hutchison, Bestow, the candidate for lieutenant gov- erner, is much more acceptablo to the farm- ers, he having already, as a member of the state senate, made something of a record as an anti-monopolist. Judge Brannan may poll his party vote, but beng pitted apaiust 8o popular a candidate as Judge Given he can not hope to make any alarmiug inroads iuto the republican col- umns. David Morgan, the democratic canaidate for railroad comuiissioner, is an_anomaly. He a Quaker and, it is said, is also a radical prohibitionist. Justhow and through what influence he was led into the demo- cratic fold is not known, but it is suspected that he is only a democrat by brevet, and 1if the truth were Known. he is only a little sour over some local mat- ter and is only willing to stay in the demo- craticparty 8o long as he has some assuranco of securing an office. His neighbors all agroe in saying that he is an excellent man and a true-blue anti-monopolist, and if this is the case he will retire from the ticket and move to muke the election of Spencer Smith unanimous. Welis and Lund and the rail- road combive proved a disastrous failure last year, and ouly served to run up a majority of 00 for the republican ticket. his yoar the democrals have gone to the other extreme and the result will likely be the same.

The moss back democrats, so far as heard from, do not take kindly to the ticket. ALl three of the leading candidates were republicans during the war, and ‘‘war issucs’ have not been entirely forgotten by the average bourbon. To vote for three “black’’ republicans, even though running on the democratic ticket will be more crow than they can swallow without a special effort, and they are not likely to enthuse very casily as the campaign progresses.

Both Hutchison and Po; neer have defined their position on the road question and both endorse the position taken by the recent state meeting of the alli- ance.
