Nebraska City's Gamblers.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Sept. 22-[Special
to The BEE. lin this city gambling is car
ried on to just as great an extent and as
openly as before the antigambling law was
passed, and with the full knowledge Of the
police and other city officials. Nearly every
saloon in town runs in connection with IL
card room and several professional games
are run in full blast day and night. The
most notorious of these is run in the rear OF
saloon on Central avenue near Eighth
street, and is conducted by professional
skin-game gambler, and is run as openly as
ever game was run in Nebraska City. The
game is run on the most approved gam blers
style, with cappers and all. A few days ago
a well-known farmer living northwest of
town, it is said, was let down to the tune of
$500 in this hole, and later left his "T. o. u"
for $40 more.
In another case poker game is run within
speaking distance of the police court and city
council chamber, and within full view of the
police as they go in and out Of the police
court. OF this game, it is said, several city
officials are the most prominent patrons. No
pretense is made to enforce the law in this
respect. and one instance will show how the
police look upon the matter:- An officer
passed by a window in full view of a poker
game few evenings ago, and when he met
one of the young gamblers a few hours
later he remarked: 81 was on to you, but
that's all right" There are at present in
Nebraska City at least dozen men who
make their living by gambling, and all with
the knowledge, if not approval, of the city
officials.

The Growth of Newport.

NEWPORT. Neo., Sept 22,-[Specal to THE
BEE.l-Among the fourishing young towns
situated on the Fremont Elkhorn & Mis-
souri, Valley railroad in the Ekhorn valley,
Neport is fast coming into prominence. 4 She
has succeeded in making herself the CONNER
cial center of Rock county. The surroan ding
country, which but three years ago was an
unbroken expanse of rank grass and luxuri-
ant meadow valleys, is now dotted over with
pleasant farm homes surrounded by waving
fields of grain and corn, attesting the pros
perity with which the settlers in this section
have been repaid. The latest industry which
has been added to Newport is the butter and
cheese factory put into operation by George
@. Holt & Co., of Kansas City. 1t is the
most complete aud much the largest estab-
lishment of its kind in the state, having a ca
paclty for handling 10000 pounds of milk
per day, with all the improvements known
to the modern manufacturer of butter and
cheese. This Is the first decided move made
to convert the rich ElkhOrn valley into the
great dairy country for which 1t is so espe-
cIally adapted.

Omaha 1s, Des Moines 7.


The base bali championship came to an end
on the local grounds yesterday afternoon
with rather bum game between Omaha
ana Des Moines.
About three thousand spectators witnessed
the battle, which was won by Omaha after
long drawn out and spirtless struggle.
The beachers had more fun than anybody,
md from the opening to the close they did
little but yell and hoot and guy the players,
both sides coming in for about an equal
share of their attention.
Wandel, the man with the largest lungs
on earth, was In his reserved seat just back
Of the reporters pew, and kept the autumnal
atmosphere vibrating with dissonant vocifer-
ations.
Many of the spectators drew a long sigh of
relief when the contest was over, and Wan
del gave one last, despairing screech and ran
across the field and climbed into his "a
buggy.
They were overjoyed to get rid of the old
caliopel
Clar Ike and Messltt were in the points for
Omaha, but neither distinguished himself.
Dad pitched an Indifferent game and as q
consequence was basted hard
Hart did the rotating for the Hawkeyes
and it was biff bang smash from the
moment Doescher yelled 'play ball!' until
the last man went out.
But to describe the game by innings would
be useless waste of a couple of cents worth
OF lead pencil, and the gentle reader will have
to rest content with the information they can
get out OF the score.
1t might be well, however. to state that the
Des Moines team, played like a lot of de-
crepid old women, and they ought to go
home, split up their bats INTO kindling wood,
and go back On the farm.

Rotary Snow Excavator.

Union Pacific headquarters were invaded
every day last week by q fat jolly gentleman
who owns patent snow plo w, which. he
says, not only beats any thing ever invented,
but will stand the test for all time. 1t bears
as distinguished title, "Julps Improved
Centrifugal Excavator," and is so con-
structed as to be an effective horror to either
snow drifts or land slides. The gentleman
referred to is Mr.. G. H. Hobert,
he comes from Brooklyn, N
Y, and his couutenance somewhat
resembles that Of Charles Francis Adams.
Il he plow offered by him is an Improvement
on Julrs rotary, which the revolving
knives have been replaced by an immense
auger, that simply bores it's way into the
snow, operating at such great rapidity as to
send the beautiful distance of $50 feet.
Three very severe tests of the plow were
made last March at Oswego, N. Y, in the
presence of several prominent railroad
officials, all of whom were thoroughly salts
fled with and gave it their endorsements.

Wednesday night Miss Chrisman learned
that Mason was sleeping in livery barn run

where she met Mason, knocked him down
and pounded him on the head with one of his
shoes, which had become loosened IN the fra

everything he had said about her and apol-
ogized. She then let him up to go his way,

Prospects For Next Year.

Omaha ball patrons can rest content that
the Gate City will be represented next sea-
son by good strong team. All the present
players will be reserved and none of them
sold, with possibly the exception of Clarke,
as the management has concluded that it will
be more to them in the long run to keep the
present team intact. Several new faces,
though, will surely be seen here next year,
and the regular team selected from the men
gned Those showing up best in prelimi-
nary spring practice will constitute the regu-
lar playing force. Another thing The BEE
is enabled to assure the lovers of the game is
that new grounds will surely be secured for
next season. 1t would be breach of conf
dence to divulge their location, but 1t can be
said that they are not quite half as far
from the Dostoffice corner as the present
park, and most admirably situated
as to transportation facilities. The di-
mensions of the new grounds will be 3T5x
325, tritle small, yet still as commodious as
many that are being used in the country.
Handsome new stands will be built, and all
the accessories of an improved character.
This, it is hoped, will tend to increase the at
tendance and enable Omaha to indulge In
the hope of getting into one of the larger as
sociations at no distant day in the future.
