There was a fairly good crowd at the ball park yesterduy atternoon to watch Mr. Hack- ett's cowboys toy with the Omuhas, And toy with them they did, just like a cat does with & mouse. Did yon ever watcha cat engaged in this favorite diversion? After capturing the little rodent pussy gives it a little slap in the ribs as much as to say, “Now look here, Mr. Mousé, you can go 80 far and no farther, sce!” Then she re- leases it, and, crouching low, watches it as it frantically scrambles toward its hole, - The mouso thinks it has a snap, but just as it is asbout to _dive within, ussy is upon it *again. She grabs it By *Vino "Collar. und tosses it over hor hoad, rapping It lovingly us it dosconds, mauls it around on_the floor & moment or 50, lets it go again, and finally tiring of the sport she takes it in her tecth and shatters its poor little vertebrae, That's just what the Kansas City's did with the Omuhas yesterday, precisely. But let us get rid of a disagreeabld task. Once more Omaha started out liko a win- ner, and the spectators laughed with fiendish glod, which is about the worst kind of a glee thero is. James Canayan, esq., picked out an easy one and drove it for a pretty single out into left. Of course he stole second, Then Wil- lis allowed himself to be tossed out at first by the slender Colonel Pears, but James Canavan, esa., went down to third on theplay. A passed ball permitted him to score. ix-Captain Kearns was the next batter up. He had no time for monkeying, so he, t0o, droye a lolo out into left. Pears’ wild throw pushed him around to third, and he slid across the plate on a wild pitch, Andrefys was mad at_ something, no one Iamew what, and to vent his spleen he hit the alr three vicious raps in quick succession. Mr. Henderson said: “Sit down.” Clevelund waited in vain_for one to smash, but it was like the letter that never showed up, 80 1o went to fivst on four bud oncs, Then ‘alsh smashed a furious liner to right for two cushions, and whilo Hoover was trying to throw Elulor out at. the plate, Joo gallopeg, on to third. Major Stearns_next allowed Moran’s swift grounder to go between his legs, and Walsh crossed the plate. Urquahart. stopped further proceedings by striking out. Four runs! Whew! Wasn't that nice? Kansas City, however, was playing out her role of the cat to perfection, and she laughed in her sleove at tne hilarity in the grand stand. Willie Hoover made a hit, and_on An- drews’ wild throw made the 'circuit of the Dases. Tho next three men went out in quick suc- cession. The second was a goose egg for Omaha, as was also, by the way, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth. In {ho third, after Charlie Hoover's ou Willie Hoover got his base on balls, reach second on the Poet's out, and scored on an error of Willis", But it was in the fourth that Kansas City most fully exemplified her feline proclivities. Omaha also showed the people how mouse- like she is under certain circumstances. Hick Carpenter set the globe inmotion by popping up o fly over Clovelund’s head. Slmer made & good sprint for it, reached it, butonly to let it get through'his hands Then Manning sent him an easy grounder, which he juggled with as much proficiency as any magiclan from Indinyon over saw, and Hick went to_second, and” Manning perched on first. On Nick Smith’s drive Carpenter scored and Manning went to third. Pears toolk first on balls, Charlie Hoover went out to Androws, buton Willie's second safe rap both Manuing and Pears crossed the pan, Willie getting to second on the throw in, The Poet was next to bat, aud he hit safe, scoring Hoover. Burns then stole both ' secon and third. Elmer Smith went to first on four bad ones, and on Stearns’ out at first the Highland bard came in. Hick Carpenter now came to the bat the second time, and sans ceremonie proceeded to lace out & two-bagger, In this vaulting ambition he essayed to streteh it into & threesacker, but James Canavan, eg thiew him-oit bilifantly from loft eld There was a great shout at that, notwith- standing the Cowboys hid got in seven great big double-breasted runs. ‘That was all there was in the game.

It will be a pleasuro to welcome that ad- mirable actress, Effio Ellsler, in & new play and one in which she has acquired groat por- sonal suceess, She appears at Boyd's opera house four nights of the current week, com- mencing tonight, when she presents for the first time in this city her new dormestio com- ody drama, by E. J. Swartz, entitled, *“IT'he Governess.” Her performance has always been highly commended and those familiar ‘with her.work can well believe the praise is well deserved, From her earliest yoars sho has beeu a hard working, conscientious stu- dent. It is a pleasure to know she is meeting with the success sho deserves. Not a little of this result is due to the wonderful manner in which *“The Governess” has jumped into publie favor. Of Miss Ellsler ng the Chicago Tribune has said Ellsler may be said to huve grown up on the stage and therefore adds to remarkable natural gifts of mind and person, a knowledge of the mechanics of acting, surpassed by that of no other actress on the stage. She is graceful in pose and movement, her face is bright and engaging, and her voice of the most tenderly o and musical quality. The most characteristic of her acting—is al- a true and profound womanliness.” The ill is offered for Monday evening and matinee, and “Egypt” will fol- low for Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. The supporting company is well spoken of, which could hardly be otherwise with such well known names as Mr. Frank Weston and John A. Ellsler in the cast, The Apollo club's final concert of the sea- son will take place next Wednesday evening at the Grand opera house, and with its usual artistic spirit and enterprise the club has pro- vided a splendid Miss Alma Neultkranz, the S na donna whose wonderful 'volco has lately croated such a fu will be the lady vocalist and will siny some songs that will no doubt at- tract and please all ner countrymen and women, and indeed everybody who has a love for quaint northern ballads.” She will also show the result of her study and her artistic attainments by singing some operatic airs. Furthermore, the club has been so fortunate as to secure Mon. Planel, violinist to the queen of Spain, who is stopping herea few days en route from Paris to San Francisco. Mon. Planet is spoken of asa wonderful violinist, and it will indeed be a treat for the patrons of the club to enjoy such playing. No doubt reminiscences of Sarasate are in store for next Wednesday. Mr. Wal- ter Wilkins, the popular tenor, will be the other soloist, whose artistic singing will ndd one more gem to an exceptionally fine _enter- tainment. For this occasion the club has de- cided to sell additional single tickets which can be secured at Max Meye & Bros.” music store at noon tomorrow and until Wednesday evening. Mat Sheeley, advance representative of McCabe & Young's operatic minstrels, is_at the Backer, His company will be seen'at the Grand opera house next Suturday and Su day nights, coming direct from_ the_int national minstrel carnival at the Marder Grand opera house, Kansas City.

Rothacker, late editor of the Omaha Republican, and one of the best known newspaper men in the west, died at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon at St. Joseph's hospital. Though expected for some time by his most intimate acquaintances, the news of is death -will beashock tomany. Hehad been in ill-health all winter, and most of the time confined to his room in the Barker hotel. A weelk ago he was taken to th hospital, wiiere every attention was shown him, but in_vain, At the Barker he had been pummmlly at- tended to by F. A. Balch and Major Howard, and it was only at the earnest_solicitation of friends that he consented to the removal to the hospital, Mr. Kothicker was born in West Virginia, near Wheeling in December, 1856, but was raised in Kentucky. He was educated in Transylyania college, Kentucky, Whilecom- paratively aboy he sturted the Argus in Lonisville, Ky., on less than £0. 1t proved to be a great success, and after several years, he sold out his interest in it for ‘about $7,000. He was then called to Denver, Colo., 10 'take charge of the Tribune, and for seven years he was the most active and positive factor in Colorado politics. He gave the Den- ver Republican a national mruumun, but when the rival faction, controlling the Re- publican, bought the Tribune, he retired and started the Opinion, which_he conducted for about a year and then sold it and went to ‘Washington, where he bought a half interest in the Hatchet. When the late S, P. Rounds retived from the public printing ofice he in- duced Mr. Rothacker to come to Omaha and take the editorship of the Republican, which Mr, Rounds had bought. Since his retirement from the Republican, a year ago, he has done but little regu” 1ar newspaper work, being mostly confined to his room by illness, Mvr. Rothacker was one of the most genial newspaper men, and one of the most versatile writers in the country. Among the good things he has written are “ll'he Man with a Mine” and “The Anar- chist.” His death will be mourned_in journalistic circles throughout the United States and will ~ not confined to those who were personally ac- quainted with him, but be shared by those \vhu knew him only through the workof his thacker, & brother of the deceased oveland, s also a sister, were ot ide of the dying man and will also ac- pany the remains to his old home, “The date of the funeral will not be finally determined until the arrival of Mrs, Rounds.

PACIFIC CH l"ll‘ RS, Several Prominent Ofcials Forced to Realgn, The Union Pacific battle-ax chappod oft o few official heads yesterday. Among the most prominent to fall were those of C. H. McKibbin, general purchasing agent, and J. Choate, superintendent of the Colorado division. Both resignations were somewhat of a surprise to overyono at headquarters. However, it was rumored very shortly after President Adams arrived in Omaha last Wodnesday that he would make several changes. McKibbin's ~retiroment s the groatest sensation of them all. It will create more comment and ex- citement than any other, espec- fally among dealers in railroad’ supplies. Wiiloho conducted the ofice on steictly business principles, Mr. McKibbin's methods were often quostioned by those who had to deal With im, For this roason supply men who could not securo an order to furnish tho Union Pacific anything became his encmios and complained. ~ As a consequence, tho company thought L. 8. Anderson of Boston could give botter satisfaction. The vice president’s notice of Mr. MeKibbin's resig- nation, therefore, states that this gentle- man_will succeed him ns acting gen- eral purchasing agent, taking effect May 15. There will, nevertheless, be many expres- sions of regret at Mack's departure. He is o bright, encrgetic, royally good fellow, and has @ liost of warin friends. R. J. Duncan, until now general superin tendent of the Fort Worth & Denver road, becomes Choate's successor, and O. O. Win' ter is promoted to the place made vacant by him. These changes took effect yesterday. alars also stato that the' lines from yenne to Wendover, as well as® the Den- Jeudville & Gunnison road from Den- will hercafter be known as 16 New Moxteo diviston, swith 1. 15, Bissal in chargo as superintendent. Prosident Adams issues the follpwing general order: All the lines comprising the Unfon Paclfic, Denver & Gult raflway company, and the Den: ver, Leadville & Gunnison railway company will hereafter be operated as one ‘general di- visiou, to be known as the Gulf division. Mr. C. F. Meck is hereby appolnted general manager of the Gulf division, reporting direct to the v president.

An order has been promulgated at the B. & M. headquarters to the effect that employes shall not chew tobacco during office hours or inside that building. *‘Itis a filthy habit,” said one official, “and for various reasons ought to be discouraged.” Hereafter the boys must give their jaws ten hours’ rest every day and tobacco stores the go-by. 0 chew or not to w, is the question,” soliloquized an ardent victim of the weed. ‘*Whether it is better to be independent and help support this gov- ernment by contributing to the revenue tax on plug, fine-cut and dog-leg, or quietly sub- mit and keep our job is what now agitates the eneral mind. Must we hold up our hands fike schoolboys for permission to go outside and take a chew? I it going to benefit any- body! We have to chew something and the man who first starts a chewing gum stove in this vicinity ~will have & Dbonanza. I understand that the serious objection against tobaceo was the dirt made by expectorations. We can chew gum and 8pit on the floor. One of our bosses has al- ways been an old and able bodied chewer, but he readily approved the ovder and said it was an easy thing to quit. Maybe you think we haven’t all got our eagle eyes on_him to see that he does not break over and indulge his cravings on the sly.” Deuies the Report. Mr D. B. Colcord, assistant_engineer, says that there is no foundation for statements made some days ago that the Rock Island has broken ground near Gilmore for its Omaha- Lincoln line. The survey and locafion have not becn completed. “We are,)’ he con tinued, “running an independent route as di- rect from South Omahs to Lincoln us can bo secured, and grading will not be commenced until the stakes have been driven." ) FRANCIS MURPHY'S WORK., A Special Meeting to Printers to be Held This Afternoon. Parquette, gallery, boxes and stage were all crowded when Francis Murphy opened his meeting last night. After the usual introductory remarks by the cold-water evangelist Rev. Marquett of South Omaha offered the invocation and the choir, reiuforced by the cornets and violins, rendered *‘All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name.” Then the collection was taken up with several suggestions from the platform that the total should include more than L cent per head. While this was being done, the programme for this evening was anuounced. It includes & deaf and dumb choir, which will render a sign song, and a song written by Rev. Crofts of Council Bluffs is to be rendered. A 10- cent collection is to be taken up at the door. Then the choir sang “Hallelujah, Thino the Glory,” and Mr. Murphy and all the semi-circle on the platform responded “Amen.) Mr. Murphy began his address b exhorting everybody present to go to church this morning, and recommending that some of the pewholders should open the doors of the pews to outsiders, aud especially to those who had identified themselves with the gospel temperance moyement. Rev. Lipe, city missionary, next in a reso- nant voice and in well turned seutences told the audience that the only help of the sinner was to cherish the Savior of men, and the choir sang “Jesus Lover of My Sou v, W. T Hursha next onter ned the with half a dozen_stories, and reit- f his predecessors, of South Omaha, Mr, g son-in-law of Judge Grifith of Sioux City, followed with vief speeches, and Mr. Murphy again took platform und delivered one of bis chara exhortations, during which the auaj ence listened breathiessly.

OYRus Conr A proof slip from a Greencastlo weekly contains the following comment : Quite a breeze was created in Chambers- burg on last Sunday when it was known that Rev. C. Cort, of this place, was not allowod to fill the pulpit in the First Lutheran church to which hio had been assigned by the Mer- cerburg Classis, according to the custom at the annual meetings. It terns out now that the pastor,uRc Leisenring, was imposed upon by H. 8. Gil bert and Samuel Gurver, two members of tho Lutheran council, who made kim believe at u late hour Saturday night that & majority of the council and congregation were very much opposed to havin , because “he op- posed the prohibition amendiient & and had also been severe in his ori the Chambersburg cents years ago, because they fora long while fused to hand over the railroad rebato to the Enoch Brown memorial committee, as thy Franklin county convention had directed in April, 1884, Rev. Cort was informod of these objection at a late hour on Saturday night after he bl gone to bed. He simply remavked to sym- pathizing friehds: “Don’t worry about it. | can stand it if { w can, I shall'lose no slecp over it m-nif The committee on pulpit supplics declined tosend any one else in place of Rev. Cort, and Rev. Mr. Leisenring had to fill his owil pulpit, much to his mortification, ou Sunday mornin, On Sunday afternoon the president classis received a letter from a prou gentloman of Chambersburg stating that I voiced the sentiment of the leading wembe: of both Reformed churches in Chamberst in saying that an insult had been offered tho s tramplo down froe umuum'mm froo spoech :{ prohi= t Lutheran chure ntiment that no men gsis ou.,m o fill the pulpit of th church in the evening, or until a proper apology had been made.
