The game was one of the series th two toams are play- ing for the championship of Missouri, an “honor valued at least at sixty-five conts. ‘Che hyperborean weather alone sccounts for the slim attendance, and to-day, if there 1s an improvement in this, a m larger crowd will assuredly be on hatd. Yestorday’s contest was what mieht very properly be called a very ordinary game, and many of the prejudiced spectators lofy the grounds firm in the belicf that the Omahas could have made monkeys out of either aggregation. The great Browns were changed about in a manner that almost obscured their identity, and in 1o way did they succeed in distinguishing thomselves, outside of Tip O'Neil's tremen- dously long home run hit, The Cowboys, which are composed almost wholly of last year's Western association players, jumped onto young Stivets, Com- ney's latest pheromenal rotator, and made Tim wish that he was under the daisies. It was biff] bang! smasu! all through the battle, and after ven innines had been yeeled off, and the Four Time Winners were hopelessly trailing, Umpire Ramsey catled the game with his left band, leaving the score 14 to § in favor of the cow punchers.

Politics in Hall County. Graxp Istaxn, Neb, Oct. 23.—[Speoial to Tue Bk |—Politics are quicter here this campaign than ever before in the history of the county. It seems impossible to arouse the public. Tne cause for this lack of inter- st is unaccounted for,except that the effects of the campaign last fall have not yot worn off. The candidates aro the choice of their respective varties and of no clique or faction. Hall county gave the national republican ticket last fall over 800 majority, but in county politics one-half thut number is all that can safely be counted upon, and even this is unreliable, owing to the large foreign element. The republicans have nominated a strong_ticket, which will undoubtedly be elected in full,but it will require lots of work, as the democrats have selected their best men, those that will poli their full party vote. New complications have arisen in regard to the postmastership. Frank Sears appeared in the field last week supported by a large number of influential republicans. There are now three condidates out, but_Scorils chances are not to be counted with Murphy’'s or Sears’. Irom the present outlook a strong compromise will defeat the field. Higgins’ term as register of the land ofice expired September 50, but_as yet no suc- cesor has been appointed. Hall county has two candidatcs for this office—Schlotfield and Representative Denman—and one, John D. Moore, for receiver. but Baker's term as. receiver does not expire until June 80, 1890.

The farmer stores wine in a large collar on his place, which now con- tains several hundred barreis. For many mouths the cellar bas been a_favorite resort for lovers of the beverage. Young boys who could not obtain liquor from saloons visit the place and often become badly intoxicated be- foro they leave. Recently several young giris of respectable families of this city huve been enticed to the place, provided Witk wine by their escorts, and ufter imbibing too freely returned to their homes in a disgrace- ful condition. Calis for wine are answered promptly at all hours of the night by the pro- prictor, aud on Sundays he reaps a harvest.

Where Uncle Sam’s Navy Stores lis Gunpowder More than one hundred tons of gun- powder ace stored in three magazines on a small island in the bay but two mles from New York city and within 800 yards of the Commuunipaw doc at Jersey City, says the New York Times. The island is known as Ellis Island, and is three acres and a half in size, with a rough, rocky back on all sides 1t has been in use as a powder depot for the navy department for nearly thirty years, and all the buildings on the island, of which there are elever are of a plain, old-fashioned appearance, although they ave said to be still sound and good for many years' future ser- vice. The main building is circular in form, and is built close to the water's edge on the northern extremity, facing New York. It isasomewhat straggling looking building from theoutside, being ircegular in height, and painted a bright yellow; but inside the greater portion of the 100 tons of powder now on the island is housed and inspected daily. There ure two kinds of powder in the magazines. The prismatic powder, of which there is 150,000 pounds, or about sixti-five tons, is packed in small square common cannon powder, of which there is 200 barrels, or about forty-two tons, is stored away in barrels, us there is less danger of “combustion from this grade of powder than from the other. Iuside the magazines, whe the powder is kept, the cases and bar rels are carefully ranged in rows along the walls, and a daily examination of the condition of the combustibles is made. On fair days the magazin opened and anired, but great care taken to exclude the dump. 0 one is allowed to enter the powder ‘megazines without having first re- moved his ehoes, and even then he is cautioned not to handle anything dui- ing his inspection of the great storve- rooms, while a vigilant wutch is kept to see that he observes the commands prope Besides the circular storerooms there are two others, standing mnear the center of the isiand, which contain powder. Then there is a large build- ing, half workroom and half storeroom, for cartridges and gun cotton, In this building a [orce of three men is em- ployed in preparing the ammunition for war ships. In this workroom there are half & dozen kinds of gun charges, These are the one, three and six-pound shells for the Hotehkiss breech-loadin gun, and the five, six and eight-poun shells for large cannon. Some of these shells are plain, while others have steel tips, and their shapes vary according to the make of the gun w0 which they belong. One of the most interesting of these charges is for the six-inch ville bore. The eharge is composed of numerous small pioces of compressed powder of a peculiar six-sided shape. Tho man employed in making the charge begins by placing a round piece of board be- fore him on which are painted figures exactly resemoling the bits of com- pressed powder used. He then inserts an ivon rod in the center of the board, after which he attaches the powder to it by round holes bored through the center of each piece. When the first pile is made he begins to build the blocks up around it until he has a col umn of u circular form about five inches in thickness. A cotton bag is then placed over the charge to keep it in place, the iron rod is removed, and the bag is incased in a copper cylinder until used. Thisis the most complex and difficult charge used in the navy department. T'wo of the buildings on the island are residences, and the remainder are used as workshops and magnazines. All are painted a bright yellow. The resi- dence of Guuner Smith, who is in charge of the magazines, is & commodi- ous brick structure, two stories in height, facing the entrance to the big bay. Near the main magazine stands an engine house, contaning a station- ary engine capable of throwing water to any part of the island. A hose and reol are attached to the engine house, and the flow of water can be conducted to any part of the island with little de- lay. Owing tothe close proximity of Jersey City, a close lookout is kept for sparks coming from that place The regular force of watchmen in charge of the magazines numbers four, but there are now oight men on tho 1sland, not counting Guanner Smith, T'his increase is due to the vast amount of work required to load the shells for the men-of-war that are soon to sai The empty shells are sont to Elli Island from the projectile depot on Gov- ernor’s Island, and all the loading has to be done in the shops adjoining the magazines. This is due to the fact that all the incoming ships leave their amn- munition on Elhs Island before enter- ing the harbor, and do not take on any ammunition again until they are on the pointof leaving the bay. Every facility fo stening the work of loading a ship is to be found on the island. There is & small railway leading from all the prinecipal buildings to the wharf, on which the powder and shells can be conveyed moro quickly and safely than by hand. A small pier, projecting into the sea, affords landing for the smaller steamers and sailing vessels. The contents of the magazines, at prosent, nre principally powder, gun- cotton and torpedoe Although the island 1s so near Jersey City and New York ceess. In. the first place, it is nec to gain per- ission to land on the island, and then is necessary to find some sort of craft to convey you there. After spending an afternoon in searching for the proper officer to whom to apply for a vass, and thea undergoing a chilly sub- mersion while venturing out in a small sailing vessel. with the intention of gaining the island before dusk, the pleasure gained by the contempiation of the plain looking buildings on the island would scarely overbalance the perils encountered - The Czar's tavorite Diversion. The Schloss of Fredensborg, where the king and queen of Denmark have been entertaining the Russian imperial fam the royal family of Greece and the princess of Wales duving the last month, is twenty-eight miles from Copenhagen, says the London World. 1t was completed in 1 by Frederick 1V., who christened it the castle of peace. The Schloss is approached from the road by an avenue of limes, and it is an immense building, containing 400 rooms. There is u spacious courtyard, and the principal apartments look out on the park. The centor of the build- ing 1s much higher than the wings,and here is the dome hall, where the royal party usualiy dine: The park at Fredensborg is ver, beautiful and of vast extent.
