Wait until wo get them on their own grounds and wo'll show them a trick worth two of theirs If the Rustlers had boen ovorthrown fairly and sgearely on tho merits of the play, then thore would be no kiok coming. But they were not. Had Umpire Snyder been au honest and impartial judeo, Omata would be baskiugz 'neath aurcola of glory and light. Ho knocked your Uncle David's hopos yostorday into a cocked hat, when he called King Kol out at the plate in tho sixth fnning "'ho bases were full, with no cno out, when Camp camo to the vat. Ho hit a slow ono down tho first baso lin, which had rolled foul by several inchos when Breckenridgo gatherad it up and sbot 1t to Jantzen. Kelly, of course, was forcod to run on any kind ef u uit, and ho could easily have got in, but pecing that it was a foul, he slowed up. Snvdor cailed 1t fair, and that soitled it. Kelly was mad enough to commit murder, in but whon ho venturedto protest Snyder throatened him witha 0 fine, and what could ho dot 3ut say. you ought to have been present and heard vour Uncle ana Vick aad Shy and » Boston boy roast him after tho game was over. Tne late hurricano that swept over the state, in comparison with the tonguelashing they wave him, was but a flecting smilo in the dreams of a slecping wmfant. Tank Was All Right. But the game itsclf, how about that? Tu order that the Columbusters and Snide, thoir rrotege, might get off ou the 5:45 train vlay was called at i o'clock. Big Tank O'Day was in the box for Sclimelz and opened up by preseating Shei- bock withs a free pass to first.

Lally and Breckenridge struck out and McClellun flied o Camp. Both sides took another egg flip in tho tird, and Omaha still another in the fourth, but in thoir half the gang from the banks of the Olentangy mado their first run. This way: Fitzgerald squeiched Walsh ut first, then O'Rourko took first on balls. He stolo second, and after Campau’s grounder to Unclo, ran all the wuy home on the first hit Lally made in the threa games. McClelian fiied to Camp. It was the same old song for Omaha in the fifth. They didw’t get a smell, but the visitors came right back and took ' tally sec ond and third, Breckenridge socked tue ball for three cishious, and Aovey for one, and after Yon Juntzen had fanned, Tank laced out another and the mischief was done.

Sherroy Won, At Blum's hall, South Omaha, last night Aaron Sharroy knocked out Bud Mills in the twenty-fifth round. It was a hard fight from the start, Mills having tho best of it up o the teuth round. In tho third Mills drew first olood, landing a stiff cross counter on the Sherroy nose. In tho sixth a straight, right hand punch on the Sherroy jaw gained first knockaown for Mills. After the tenth Sherroy braced up and from that time to the closo thio fighting was furious. As timo was calloa for the twenty-fifth roucd Sherroy crossed over and hit~ Mills while the latter was sitting down. A clam of foul was made but not allowed. In this round camo the kuockout. e e S0UTH OMAlA Iigh School Entertainment, Tho parents and frionds of tho puplls of the High school filled Blum's hall to the doors last evening. The High School Literary socioty gave ome of their enjoyable entertainments and fully deserved tho liberal patronage that thoy received. The entertainment opened by a chorus that was sung verry prettly oy half a hundred small representatives of the primary department. Miss Jessio Ferguson road an ossay which was above the average of school composition. Hor reading was characterized by remark- ably aistinct enunciation. Miss Clara Davis rendered n piano solo in a pleasing manner, and was followed by Miss Alice Adaws, who gave a humorous recitation. After a piano selection by Miss fthel Hatey the operetta, “The Fairy Crowning” was ntroduced and creditably performed. An echo song by six young ladies was one of the most enjoyanle features of the evening. The second part of tho program consisted of a club swinging exerciso: by Misses Pearl Glasgow and Mabel Grey, a bass solo by Mr C. C. Buek, a recitation by Miss Anna Fowler and 4 song by Misses Laur, Glasgow, Richardson aud Irion. The entertainment closed with the tableau, “Seeing Neliio Home."” An O1d Man's Disappearance. The family of Charles Clapp of Albright is much concerned over the absence of Mrs. Clapp's father, Julius Garner, whbo left the house yesterday morning and has not been heard from. Mr. Guroer who 1s over 70 years oid, has been sick for the last threo months and bis mind is somewhat affected. He got up about 4 o'clock yesterday morning and went away, taking a razor with him, It is fearcd that ho has committed suicide, snd a searchiug party was organized to look for him, Heir ton Fortune, Billy Hettrick, an empioyo in Swift & Co.'s fertilizer department, who lives at Commercial and J streets, is $16,000 richer than ho was.

MARKED DECREASE OF PER CAPITA DEBT Indebredness Anifyzed and Compared with That of Ad g States—News ol a Quiet Day at the Capital City of the State, Lixcors, Neb,, April 20.—[Spocial to Tnr Bk, | —Labor Commissioner Andres today reccived from the census burenu at Washing- ton an official bulletin containing a sum- mary of national, state and local indebted ness s ascortained by tho census taken in June, 1500, F'rom tuis bulletin Mr. Andros has compiled somo figures of interest and importanco to the poople of Nobraska. In Juue, 1860, the eutire public debt of Ne- braska amounted to §15,536,17%, or $14.07 per capita, In 1850 the puoblio debt amounted to 1,480,074, or 816,30 per capita. Those tigures include state, county, municipal and school sevoral district indobtodness, and tho amounts are distributed as follows : Stato.... Count; D Municipai; .10 1102172 Sehool district .01/ 1L 7041 From the above figures it will be seon that the state debt has shown a markod decrease in the decade. It will also bo observed that the municipal indobtedness of the state amounts 1o vory nearly one-balt of the entire public indebtedness of Nebraska. This mu- nicipal debt was created for the natural ae- mand for public improvements, such as pav- g, water works, se yverage, Tlrks, ote. In many instances the municipal indebtedness of tho state has been increased by reason of bonds voted in aid of the construction of rail- roads, but this class of indebtedness forms but a'small proportion to the entire amount. Nebragka's County Indebtedness, But tho most gratifying featuro of the re- port, however, is the statistics relating to county indebtedness. Iu 1850 the county in- debtedness amounted to 5,120,362, which equalled something over 311 per capita. In 1590 tho county indebtedness amounted to £,510,175, or but a fraction over £ per per capita. In tho decade botween 1850 aud 1800 Nebraska made rapid and almost pho- nomenul strides in material advancoment. In 1850 but sixty-threo countios had au organized existence. Sinco that timo twenty-seven counties have been organized, and in most of them the railroads have been constructed, court houses built and other public improvements carried on; and yot, in spite of this rapid development—unprece- donted in the history of western states—the county indebtedness has increased but §389),- 813, while the per capita indebteaness has decreased, in round figures, from $11 to &. Tbe school district indebtedness alone shows an increaso in the por capita obliga- tions of the people; but even the lucreaso is insigniticant when compared to the rapid school system in tho state. Tho increase for the ton years is from 827,641 to $2,645,- 212, Butin ISS0 the state containad but sixty-threo counties, 8,132 school districts and 2,701 school huuses.. The total valuation of school district property at that time was $2,064,705.. In 1590 the 'school report shows 6,243 school districts and 5,037 school houses, while the value of ‘the'school district prop- erty had increased to 30,613,464, Makes an Interesting Comparison, Another interesting fdature of tho report is & comparison of the’ indebteduess of Ne- braska and Knnsas——a compurison which is entirely in Nebraska’s favor. Ior instance, iz Kansas tho entiro indebtedness hai in creased during tho decade from $15.97 per capita to £25,47 per cupita. Nebraska shows a decrease of the per capita indebtedness for the same period. T'ho stato indebtedness of Kansas shows an_ihcroase, Tho reverso of this is true of Nobraska. The county in- debtedness of Kansas increased nearly $7,000,000 during . the docade, while tho county indebtedness of Nebraska increased but £§50,815. The comparison of municipal and school district indebtedness of the two stutes is equally in Nebraska's favor. Chose the Reform School, Rosa McLenithan was brought beforp Judge Lansing this foronoon upon complaint of her mother, who charged her with being incorrigible. 'The girl is 16 years old, pratty and weil educated. Her mother charged ber with a number of misdemeanors, but, think- ing there might be two sides to the story, Judge Lansing heard tho girl's story in privato. She stated thatste had no desire 10 bo a bad girl and would raiher die than enter upon a downward career; but that both she and her mother had tempers which mado 1t almost impossible to livo happily to- gother. Aftor listening to hor story Judge Lansing gave her the alternative of return- ing home or going to the girls’ industrial school at Geneva. She chose the latter with- out hesitation and this afternoon left for that place with Sheriff McClay. ‘Three Damuge Sults in Court, The jury in the case of Mvs, Louisa Ear- hardt agaiust Johun Bauer ana Dennis Mc- Carthy, two salooukeepers of this city, ter- minated this forenoon, the jury awarding her damagos in the amount of #3,000, The case of Dora Swindell against the Buriington, in which she sued for £,000 for the killing of hor husband, Frank Swindell, on Septembor 9, 1500, came up before Judge Tibvetts this forenoon. Swindell was walk- ing along tho Burlington's track on the day namwed, when one of the company's trains backed down upon him and killed him. The company’s defense is that the death of Swin- aell was duo to nis own carclessness, as ho had no busiuess upon the right of way. Judge Hall 1s tryiug the case of Lorinda Finkle against the city of Lincoln, The plaintiff asks for $1,500 s damuyes to her property on L strect, caused by grading.

A Profitable Plant E Il tensively Cultivated in ssin, One of the profitable agricultural pro- ducts of Russ! the sunflower, In a report on this peculiar industry, Consul neral Crawford of St. Petersburg says, the plant is universal in gardens and in many distriets 1s cultivated on a large scale. The cultivation of the seed for commercial purposes bogan as far back as 1842, at which time the value of the seed for its oil was discovered. I'or tho years 1886-7 a total of 703,494 acres of suntlowers were cultivated, double the acreage in 1881-2, and the industry is steadily expanding. Two kinds of sunflower are known in this country—one with small seeds used for the production of oil, and the other with larger seeus consumed by the com- mon people in enormous quantitics as dainties very much as tho people eat peanuts in the United States. In the district where the sced is cultivated on a large scale the plant has boen con- tinually grown on thesamo soil for many y 1 succession, thwus producing n diseaso of the plant called puccinia dio- coidearum. Owing to this diseaso the sunflower crops have been rather poor in the government of Voronezh for the last ten years, and the cultivation of iv has therefore abated somewhat in this locality. The sunflower sced is used principally for obtaining sunflower oil, whic h, ow- ing to its nutritious qualities, purity and agreeablo flavor, has supo rseded other vegetable oils in muny places of this country. In general the cultivation of the sun flower in Russia is considered to be very profitable. At tho averago yicld of 1,350 pounds per acre aund at® the average price of 14 cents per pound, the farmer receives an income of avout #20 per acre, Thisincome can be increased to those districts where the grower himself is enguged in producing the oil from the seed. Howover, oil mills are very in tho villages, the farmers selling their seed to the oil producers. In the seeds growing district of Saratov there are only thirty-four village oil mills, pro- ducing oil worth $10,000 annually. The substance remaining from the ‘oil manu- facture, or the sunflower cakes, being used as cattle food, is also a valuable product. These cakes, however, have 4 comparatively small demand in Russia and are lirgely exported to for- oign countries, principally to Germany and England, The government of Saratov, for instance, exports about two million pounds of suntlower cakes to different countries, where gome more oil is pressed out of them before being used for cattle food. The sunflower cakes form one of the principal items in the export of Russiu. The sunflower shells, boing used for lLeating purposes, form an articlo of trade in several districts. The seed cups aro not wasted, but used as food for shoop. The peasants in the government of Tambov aro incrveasing the cultivation of the sunflower, owing to the following roasons: Thero is a stoadily increusing demand at home and abroad for the soed, thus making the industry a profit- able one, especially as Russia is the chief source of suppiy; through the cul- tivation of sunflowers it is possible to adopt n more extensive mode of agricul- ture; it 15 proved that a given plot of land used for the growing of sunflowers has yielded $20,as against the usual $10; the Soil becamo very porous and better prepared for the rotation of crops. Of the different kindsof sunfiower seed in Russin—some white or gray, some brown with white or gray stripes, some quite black, dyeing the cells a dark vio- lot color—the gray and striped seeds are preforred, as ”":f appear to be much cleaner and handsomer, and therefore command a higher price, especially for the purposes of raw consumption by the common people. The black seed, owing toits dark eoloring matter, is generally avoided. All these eoeds appear in the market divided into two sorts larger kind, containing less oil, 18 the cheaper; the smaller, producing more oil, is sold to the oil manufacturers and is muech more expensive The latter geods are st and oval, like colfee boans, aod are cousidered the best for this in- austry. * Good soeds must have a pleas- ant taste, a fresh smell, and good weight. The main condition for a profitable cultivation of sunflowers is to choose ripo sceds and earefully prosorve them | duriug the winter. For this purpose re The | the very best seed cups aro taken in the autumn, which are hung by their stalks nadrey place where the sun cannot reach them. In the spring the sceds are shaken out and dried in ovens and made ready for sowing, Seeds thus pre- vared give a vory good plant. The sunflower should be sown very early in the spring, even before the oats Or as soon as the snow has melted. It has boon shown that tho sooner the sow- ing is done the botter the seed ob- tained. In many districts the sowing is made in the autumn, but this must be done 80 late that the sceds will not sprout. In the district of Voronozh the soed is sown atthe ond of October, The ground must be plowed rather docp, but care must be taken that the sceds ara not buried more than about 2 inches deep, that the seeds muy sprout as soon as possible, the soil in the spring being warmed only on the surface. Many farmers moisten the seod before sowing The sunflower is sowa either broad- st or in rows; in the latter caso tho sood should be placed about six inchos apart. The sowing of tho seed broad, cast, being the more quickly porformed is generally favored on large farms, es- pocially where the farmers have not sufficient help. Of the two methods —sowing in the fall and in the spring the latter seems to produce the most satisfactory results, Seed sown early, oven on poorly propared ground, doos much better than when sown late under the best conditions of soil. Although tho sowing in rows requires more time and more work at first,and consequently is moro exponsive. it has groat advant- agoe over the broadeast method. The weeds, for example, which should be carofully kept down or the erop will bo ruined, can bo removed by means of horse plows and horse cultivators and hoes, whilo in broadeast sowing thoy can only bo removed by hand. Then, too, the seods ripen much more quickly in rows, the wind and the sun hav freor access thoreto. If American methods woro emploved, such us sowing by machinery, the ox- pense of sowing would bo greatly re- duced and the scods would b planted regularly and covored evenly av the proper dopth, making it compa; atively eusy 10 keop tho fields cloan of woeds, and thus increasing enormously tho profits of sunflower farming, Thinks Ie Was Born Unlucky. Chicago Tribune: Some men are born unlucky, apparently, and one of these stopped in his worl long enough a fow days ago to describe some of his expericnces, which ho claims he is will- ing to swear to. “Luck,” he said, “‘crosses the street when it sees me coming. The only luck Iever had camo from hetting on un- lucky things that would ~ happen to me. “There was some loose plastering over one of the doors in the office and I tried to have it fixed, but the main guy said there was no hurr, I told him it would fall, but he "said he guessed not. I said that it would fall on me, and he offered to bet that it wouldn’t. It scemed like robbery, but I took his bet. Two days later 1 bought a new hat, and then I knew I had him. That plastering would never let mo pass under it with a new hat. There was u crash the time I opened the door, and as soon as I could shake some of the dust and plastering off my clothes I took a look ut the dilapidated hat, and said: * “Jim I win that bet.’ “‘He paid. “*‘Another time I was walking down the hall—the building was lighted by clectricity—when there was a ses-s-t noise and some one ran out of a room near, and said: ““A plug’s blown out. boar ***Down my back,’ I said as I tried to reach down after something that felt like a hot coal. **‘Nonsense!’ he replied. ‘The elec- tric lights have gone out in that room. A plug must have blown out.’ ST bet ivs gone down my back said. **Ho took the bet and T won. “I was passing under it when it blew out and it couldn’t miss me. “*A short time ago I paid a doctor for telling mo that I ought to put a plaster on my back. Then I paid for the pluster and went to my room only to find that I couldn’t reach the right spot with my hands. Finally I pinned the plaster on the wall and backed up to it. I tried that three or four times witbout getting it on the right spot, and then in despair called a district messenger and gave up 35 cents for having 1t adjusted by him. *I could go on with these hard luck tales, but why should I bore you with my autobiogruphy?” e sighed and began work again by dipping a pencil in the mucilage bottle, and then absent-mindedly touching the point of it with his tonguo. The Dead and theli ving, A correspondent asks: *“Ave the doad greater in number than the living?’ Presumably he means to inquire about human beings, and in that shape the question is u suggestive one, the Chieago Tribune. Thenumber now liv- g is computed to bo a little under 1,500,000,000, If we suppose 6,000 vears to have elapsed since the first pair roamed at will in the Garden of Iiden, save and excopt for the vicinity of a single tree, and that their progeny in- creased at o uniform rate from that time to the present, the total number could not have been much less than 100,000,000,000 (s hundred billions). If wo allow for a similar augmentation from tho time of the expulsion from paradiso to that of the flood, then u genoral killing off, and a regular in- Crenaso from the eight persons suved up to the presout cstimate, the total conld not be less than fifty billions, or suy at least thirty porsons dead for ovory ono now alive. Really, however, rocent scientific investigations are held to warrant the belief that human beings existed on earth as much as eighty thou sand years ago, and that the numbe then was far from being limited toa single pair. Taking this for data it may be computed as probable that the dead are some two thousand times more numerous than the living, and that if all could be resurrected there would Where's the bo ten human beings for overy acre of the 52,000,000 miles of land surface that now lies above the ocean leval, Dont be deceived by dealers who Sout" pricos “ Cutting leads to *cutting goods.
