THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, T e e JUNE 23, 1905. PLAYING 1N OLD TIME FORM Omaha Band Gives Kansas Uity a Reminder of Last Year's Game, HIT FREELY AND PUT UP SNAPPY GAME Rourke's Men Take Last of Series on the Kaw by a Score of Seven to Two, the Latter Due to Com- panion's Liberality, KANBAS CITY, June 22.—(Special Tele- gram)—It makes little difference what Omaha's present standing. in the league Is, the Rourke band can give the nsas Cityans just as hard a game and st as neat a drubbing as in the palmy duys of last year when the men from the Nebraska metropolls were right up in the lead. And taking the games played here by the Omahas, there is every reason to belleve the men from up the river will be back into the first division before long. Convincing evidence of this statement was shown here today when the visitors trotted away with the last game of the series with Kansas City by a score of 7 to 2. And Nichols' beauties have Companion's gen- erosiy to thamk that it was not a shut out. Companion otherwise pitched a pretty game and the five singles of the locals were strung through the nine innings like mile posts. It was the passes that created the disturbance in the goose egg row for Kan- sas City Omaha, after going along quietly for three innings, jumped onto Cable's twists in the fourth and lammed out three hits for three runs and followed it up in the fourth by making four more runs on five hits. Outside of these two Innings, Cable was invincible. Kansas City scored-in the opening inning on passes to Ketchem and Waldron and Strelb's out at first. The other run was made in the elghth on Corbin's single, scor- ing Webster's pass. Genins started the music for Omaha in the fourth with a deuble and went to third on a passed ball. Preston walked and stolo second and Hickey also moved up on a pilfer after his single had cleared the bases. Gonding's single and the throw in of Companion's fly to center scored Hickey. Singles in succession by Wright, Dolan and Genins, the latter's stolen base and Corbin's wild throw to catch him, and Gonding's drive, made it four more for Omaha in the fifth.

Mathewson in Innin NEW YORK, June 2.—New York lost & fine oppertunity of regaining first place in the pennant race today through Mathew- son's weakness in the final inning of the second game with Chicago.

A good story 15 told of a St. Louis gentle- man, A friend of his sent him a case of Red Raven Splits. It arrived while he was gbsent from home. His wife opened the box and seelng all the dainty bottles mistook it for champagne. She told her husband on'his return that he had- been presented with a case of wine. He being & genial fellow went to the telephone and called b tew friends. In the evening when they came to open the wine the mistake of Bourse was discov- ered. A prominent physician who was among the guests broke Into & ory of de- Ught. “Why,” he said, “this I8 providen- tial. This beats champagne all to plec There ls nothing that acts so gently on the liver, tones the stomach and gives a man such & feeling of health as Red Raven Splits.; It is Justly ealled the Prince of Aperients, and taken In the morning after a dinner or banquet will surely cleanse the system and one right fof & day's work."” He pulled cork and poured the spark- ling water info & glase’ "I do wot ghink champagne could® be_more beautiful,” he added, “of half s eMeacious.” They all ugreed, and each man took home ® dainty bottle as & souvenir, Won at the close of the eighth, but with [ball here today to McCook in the last haif one man out in the ninth the visi'ors bey to hit Mathewson all over the fleld. ey scored six runs, while New York went out in one, two, three order.

NEW PROPOSALS TO BE ADVERTISED FOR Attorney for Barber Asphalt Company Objections ut Repairing of asphalt-puved streets re- celved another setback yesterday. Attor ney J. H. Adams appeared vefore the city council in general committee meeting and raised several technical objections to the bld put in last week by the Nebraska Bitulithle company, which was about $500 lower than the bid put in by the Barber Asphait company, represented by him John Grant, general manager of the first named company, defended both the form and the good faith of the bid and also de- clared that he was ready to give bond in any sum demanded to carry out all the conditions of it. The maeninery for his new asphalt and bitulithic paving plant and paving materfals, he said, have ar- rived and he will be ready to do the work. After considerable discussion, and re- ferring the matter to the city attorney for an opinion, the council finally decided to reject all bids. The city engineer was In- structed to prepare specifications to be submitted to the city council tonight for approval. The Board of Public Works will ' then be Instructed to immediately advertise for new bids, and work on the streets, it is now expected, will be commenced early in July. Delegations were present from the retall grocers’ and the peddiers’ assoclations to argue the proposed ordinance regulating peddiing. Mesars. Mackin and Peterson, for the grocers, argued that fruit and veg- etable peddling should be entirely abol- ished, while Messrs. Stevens and Simons, for the peddlers, maintained their right to do business on the streets and argued against any Increase from the present §25 fee in the license. By & close vote it was decided to introduce tonight a new ordi- nance making the fee $30 per year, pay- able July 1, for every wagon, and an ad- ditional fee of $20 for every, additional man on & wagon. The matter of regulating the business will be left to a future date and ordinance. ‘Word for an 014 Comrade, Jonathan Edwards and W. H. Green ap- peared on behalf of George C. Cockrell s speclal agent of the legal department. The office. they sald, is an fmportant one and should not be abolished, and Mr. Cockrell, on account of his record in it the last three years and his record as an old soldier, should be retained. It was decided to pass tonight the ordi- nance forbidding prdprietors of cigar stores, sloons or other resorts from operating slot machines other than those which pay exclusively in merchandise, and forbldding the playing of such machines by minors. Judge Baldwin made an extended argu- ment In favor of passing, in the form of an ordinanee, the Tles and regulations for the heaith of the eity, and for nulsances, adopted by the advisory board last De- cember. He is especially interested In the provisions regulating cemeteries. If the council would eliminate from the regula- tions the sections governing the collection and disposition of garbage, all objections of every mature would be removed. The council could then take its time to settle the garbage matter, which, he declared, could mot and would: not be settled for some time to come. . The new councilmen promised to familiarize themselves with the rules and regulations and tdke some ac- tion on them. The effort to have gas and gasoline lamps removed from under the shadow of arc lights will be immediately renewed. Con- siderable work was done along this line last year, but it is stated there are still twenty to thirty such lamps which can be moved to advantage. The finance committee will investigate and report on the matter of paying Yancey & Redman for sidewalks constructed last year. City Clerk Elbourn notified the council that the list of Board of Public Works employes has not yet reached his office. FIRE RECORD. Hotel at Indianols.

Webber-Haas, BRADSHAW, Neb., June 22.—(Spectal.)— Frederick Webber and Lucy Haas were married at the resifence of Chris Webber Saturday evening at 8 o'clock by Rev. Lenfest. The groom is a brother of Mr, Webber and the bride is a sister to Mra. Webber., Rowing Men 8, NEW YORK, June 22.—At & speclal meet- ing of the Harlem Regatta association to- night the secretary was directed to write the American Rowing association of Phila- delphla, which controls the American Hen. ley, asking for a better reason for reject- ing the entries and entrance fees of C. F. Titus, “Jack” Varley and John Mulcahy of the Atalanta Boat club, and Frank Ves- eley and Fred Budrie of the First Bohemia Boat club. The only explanation thus far given is that they would not be allowed o compete under rule 10. The members of the Harlem assoclation say the rule is meaningless and ask for a detalled expia. vation. 1f a satistactory one is not for coming a letter will be addressed to eéx- ecutives of all the boat clubs along the Harlem and Hudson rivers asking that the entries of men from those clubs be with- drawn. The regatta of the American Hen- ley is scheduled to take place on July 2, on the Schuylkill. Women Has Del Jessie Myers, who has been boarding at the city jall for several days and who made an attempt to escape yesterday, developed & severe ocase of dellrium treme last night. Bhe suftered from the hallucination that she had been engamed to bulld fences and put in most of the evening calling for a hammer and nalls with which to carry on Sperations. When the tools Were not forin coming she threatened everyone in sight, and some who were not in sight, with all kinds of punishment. It is thought by Surgeon ¥ that she will recover. Ferris Stock Company at the Boyd. Miss Grace Hayward certainly has reason to feel proud of the reception accorded her on her first appearance in Omaha this season. Bhe was welcomed at the Boyd theater by an overflow assemblage last evening, drawn thither by the combined attraction of this clever actress and *Grau- stark,” a play written by herself. Miss Hayward's dramatization of the very in- teresting McCutcheon story is ample proof that her ability is not bounded by mere play acting, showing that she is as capable in construction as she is in interpretation In adapting the story to the purposes of the play she made very féw changes, yet selected her material with such consum- mate judgment and taste that one gets quite as satisfactory a story from the drama as from the book, a thing rare in- deed in the way of the book play. Miss Hayward is too well known in Omaha to require any lengthy treatment of her style as an actress. She not only made the part of Yetive possible on the stage, but she gives it life and vigor as well, and is not only the dignified princess, but the tender, loving romantic girl as well. One decided innovation, a tribute to modern advance, was introduced last even- ing. Miss Hayward made her first appear ance in an automobile instead of the con- ventional carriage, and was well rewarded by the immense audience. During the pro- gTess of the play she wore a number of strikingly beautiful gowns, which brought out much comment from the feminine critics, who were unanimous in commend- ing the excellent taste of the actress in her selections. Several handsome floral tributes were handed over the footlights, a token that her Omaha friends have not forgotten her. Mr. Ferris is just as much at home as ever as Grenfell Lorry, and he had excel- | lent support In Harry Long, who took Mr. Siddons’ place in the cast and presented Harry Anguish, Lorry's friend, with much taste. Dell Henderson found himself splendidly located as Dangloss, and Cecil Owen did unusually good work as Prince Gabriel. Others in the ocast contributed much to the success of the play. By and large, it was an excellent performance, and was well recelved by the people present, Some alterations have been made in the staging of the plece, and it is now given a much more pretentfous setting than on its first presentation in Omaha last season. The production {s much more ambitious than is customarily bestowed on the plays of a summer stock company, the reason being that Mr. Ferris deems “Graustark" a permanent investment, and has acted with this idea in view. Owing to the unprecedented demand for seats, everything for the engagement hav- ing been practically sold out yesterday, it was determined last evening to run the play one night longer, and “Graustark" will be the bill until after Thursday night.
