There are one or two on Omaha's pay roll who are just so much dead wood ann a continuance of putiing them in to fill up-the team can only result in further and more serious disaster. While the game went the wrong way and was bunglingly played at times, it was an ex- ceedingly exciting contest, and the great throng of spectators were Kept in a state of high fever from beginning to end. 1t required ten Innings to settle it, but the end came swift and hard when it did come, and the perspiring cranks let go of one unanimous groan when the winning tally came loping over the plate. The score stood 13 to 13—fatal number—when Purvis faced Colohel Lookabaugh in the last of the tenth He had only been to bat five times before and each time had rapped the ball safe, once for four sacks, twice for two, and once for a single. But Bob had no terrors for Looky, and he again began to hand them in nice and low right over the plate, where Purvis loves to get them. Bob made one wild slash, then steadied himself and Look- abaugh gave him one in the right spot, and Bob whanged out his third two sacker. A bad declsion of the umpire gave him third, and Delehanty's beautiful drive against the centerfield fence sent him home with the winning tally. Here is the score: OMAHA. A.B.

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—Peter Jackson ar- rived from San Francisco yesterday morn- ing and left in the evening for New York, where he goes to learn from Corbett whether the champion is trying to fool him out of a match. “I will never fight in the south,” declared Jackson. “I expressed myself upon the point when I first came to the country, that the contest should take place north of Mason and Dixon’s line. My object is solely on uccount of the race prejudice which ex- ists there." “Do you think Corbett wants to avold a 1 eting with you?"

DENVER, Aug. 12—Denver will be en fete all of this week, the entire state turn- ing into its capital ecity to make glorious the welcome to the greatest wheelmen in the country. The races for championship honors promise to be a great battle be- tween the cracks, Every racing man of note and prominence has been traveling around the circuit, and when they reach Denver they shouid be in the pink of condl- tion. At this meeting Sanger, Tyler, John- son_and_ Bliss will be afforded an oppor- tunity of demonstrating who is the speed- iest in competition. Up to date these riders have beaten one another alternately, but in the national championship events every rider will do his utmost to secure the coveted title of champion. The new third of a mile track upon which the races will be run is completed, and, according to some trials made, it is very' fast. It has long turns and comparatively short stretches: This makes it possible to attain great speed on the turns without much banking. Th home stretch is fifty feet wide, the back forty, and the turns thirty-five. The turns are banked seven feet, the banking being carried well into the stretches until ft tapers to two feet at the tape and opposite turn of track, which is the minimum degree of breaking. 'The stretches are nearly 300 feet in length. The grand stand and bleachers have been remodeled so as to seat about 8,000 people, and have been fitted underneath with commodious dressing rooms The Denver local _executive committee of the League of American Wheelmen adopted the following program for the en- ;‘cl'luiumem at the six days' national meet ere Monday—The morning will be devoted to an inform: reception at headquarters. In the afternoon a general day parade of all the wheelmen |s contemplated. In the evening a formal reception will be given at headquarters, where addresses will be fol- lowed by an entertainment. Tuesday—The morning and evening will be given up to seve “‘runs,” it being the intention to o diversify these runs as to meet the capacity of every visitor. One division will be taken by railroad to Palmer lake, at the summit of the “Divide,” and will make the run back to Denver on wheels, a distance of fifty-four miles of continious easy descent.

Characteristics of the Russian Thistie—How to Smite It The Russian thistle very closely resem- bles the common “‘tumbleweed,” but is more spinous. In fact, it is a tumbleweed of the worst kind. When it breaks off at the root late in the fall it rolls away in the wind at a rapid rate, scattering its seeds upon every rod of ground over which it travels. Well grown plants in the Dakotas are sald to reach four and five feet in diameter, and even more in exceptional cases. The prickly branches are so dense that It is impossible to pass one’s hand to the interior of the bushy plant. The technlcal name of the pest is Salsola kali, and it is briefly described as follows: Herbaceous, annual, branching from the base, usually densely bushy at maturity, leaves alternate, without stems, long, spiny-pointed and with narrow margins near the base, usually striped with red like the stems; flowers minute, at the bases of the leaves, without sepals or petals. It blossoms in July and August and its seeds mature in Septem- ber and October. The extermination of the Russian thistle demands that it be smitten, hip and thigh, by a sharp hoe in the hands of an active $1.25 a day man. Digging it up seems to be the only way to fight it. If it is hoed or plowed up before it goes to seed it is likely to leave no posterity. To plow it under later than that is idle. It will take hard work to exterminate the pest. If raked with a horse rake or cut with a reaper, some sced will surely be left to perpetuate the curse. Burning will not affect a complete eradica- tion. Cultivating corn, potatoes and other root crops serves to wipe it out if thorough work is done. e Disaster Follows. When live trouble is neglected. Uncasiness below the right ribs and shoulder blade, dys- pepsla, nausea, constipation, sick headache, furred tongue. Do you want 'em? Of course not. Use Hostetter's Stomach Bitt-rs and you won't be bothered with them, or any other symptoms of liver disturbance. Make haste when the first signs show themselves. e Mudness Among Englneers. The strange antics of a crazy engineer at Alton, T1L., suggest the fact thut insanity is very frequent among railway employes. Two dramatic illustrations are mentioned 9y the Philadelphla Times. There Is living ia New Jersey, not far from Philadelphia, a man who for many years was the foremost passenger engineer between New York and Philadel- phia on the Pennsylvania railroad. He ran all the specials and best trains, and in ten years never had an_accident. One night in the gleam of the headHght he saw a woman. He had only time to see her hands ralsed and to hear her cry, and be- fore he could pit his hand upon the lever he felt_a jerk under the wheels and knew that @} wvas over.

Until forced to do so by the early frosts he wiil wear no shoes, holding to his established custom of going barefooted during the summer months, Hugh Cameron is the most eccentric char- acter that Kansas ever produced. His home is three miles northwest of Lawrence, on the banks of the Kaw river, at what is known as Cameron Bluff. He'is at once a scholar, a soldier, a vegetarian, a celibate, a whilom statesman and withal a hermit. Little is known in Kansas of his early history, although he has lived in his unique cabin at Cameron BIuff since the early terri- torlal days. He lived a quiet, secluded life on his farm, and took but little part in the stirring events of the time. He entered the war as a captain in the Second Kansas vol- unteer cavalry and came out a lieutenant colonel and brevet brigadier general. Every winter he makes a pilgrimage to Washing- ton to look in on congress, but with this exception he never leaves his home save to buy supplies. Cameron comes from good Pennsylvania stock and is said to have taken to his hermit life because he was jilted by a maiden who had promised to wed him. e BROKE UP THE SHOW. & COUS VIEWS, and Worst of a Bad Situation and What They Hold Forth. Albert Andriano, local superintendent for Snow, Church & Co.'s mercantile agency, writes “The prominent feature of the week is the strike at South Omaha. It is unfortunate that this should come to pass at just this time. Farmers and cattlemen throughout the west are shipping more live stock than ever before, and Chicago and Kansa are getting' the benefit of it. The r cattle to market is occasioned by the age of the corn crop, and the fact t the high price of corn farmers will be un- able to feed them with profit to themselyes. It is very unfortunate that at a time lik this, when every incr in trade sirable, a_strike should be in vogue at the stock yards, “'As the dry weather continues prospects for corn dwindle, and there is now no doubt that only a very small crop will be hurvested In this state and parts of lowa.

All of the lightning of the heavens seems to concen- trate about Mount Elbert.
