The Warriors Administer Terrible Drub-
bing to the Local Team.
BUT THE GAME DOES NOT COUNT.
Mr.. Inks Attempts to Do the Pitch
"' ing For the Omahas, But
Makes Sorry Work
of IL.
Sioux City 10, Omaha @.

Omaha and Sioux City collided ON the local
diamond yesterday afternoon in the presence
of several thousand spectators and Omaha
sustained fearful wollopping.
The sting of defeat, however, is not so
poignant as usual, for the game didn't count
1t was only an exhibition.
The audience did not know this, though,
and the majority of them left the park very,
very sore.
Mr.. Inks pitched for the local team and his
work was Just sort o. middlin'. He lost the
game in the second inning by his appalling
wildness. He gave four men bases on balls,
forcing two of them over the plate.
The sound that emanated from the grand
stand at this feat was not unlike the lugubri-
GUS moaning of the deep, deep sea- But dry
your tears, as the game don't count.
In conclusion, it is offered as hint that the
next time the management sends Moran out
to play right field he should be given lawn
mower and compelled to earn his salary
Omaha must have one more fielder or she will
continue to draw blanks all through the sea-
son. With good general utility man the
team would now be in good average condition

Busy Putting in Crops.

HARRISON, Neb., May 49, Special to THE
BEE. The settlers of Sioux county are ali
busy putting in their crops and breaking
prairie. The acreage of grain this year will
be very largely in excess of that of 1889.
There has been plenty of mois ture during
are looking forward to a bountiful harvest
mental stage and has been proven one of the
best small grain growing localities in the
state, and the result is that the settlers are
farming in dead earnest this season. I'm
provemcnts in the country are going in
every direction. Houses and barns are be
ing erected wind mills are being put up and
a vast amount of sod is being broken. There
are still thousands of acres of land awaiting
settlement. There is no railroad land in
the county, so that it is one of the
best "frcc home" localities in the
state. In addition to this the question of
fuel is settled here, for wood can be had for
the hauling, and the coal mines Just west of
here make that article cheap Sioux county
has over fifty miles of railroad track within
its limits the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri
Valley crossing from east to west, and the b.
* M. running diagUnally across the northeast
part of the county. Thus it will be seen that
this locality is iii excellent condition to re
ceiye Il heavy immigration during the next
few months.
Tho proposition TO vote bonds to fund the
floating debt of the county was voted on at
special election last Tuesday and Il very light
vote cast, The bonds were defeated by
small majority.

The extraction Of teeth is usually ac-
companied by a slight flow of blood,
which ordinarily ceases before the pa
tient quits the dentists Office. Where
this Is not the case, or where the
hemorrhage breaks out afresh when
medical advice Is not at hand, it should
be borne In mind that the first and
most natural check is the CLOTHING Of
the blood in the cavity, and this should
not be disturbed, says writer In Good
Hoztsekeeper. If It is necessary to
rinse the mouth, let it be done very
carefully, so as not TO dislodge the
clot, if one is forming. Where this
does not occur, the first recourse
should be to an astringent, and tannin
is the best of all. If that Is not at
hand, finely powered alum viii answer
very well, burnt cork may be sprinkled
over the surface, or a little ball OF
spiders web, lightly pressed into the
wound, may answer the purpose when
other means fail, As this pest of every
hOusekeeper is an invaluable styptlc.
In addition to some of these, COM
press may be necessary, and an article
which will answer all purposeSI may be
made for an emergency by cutting
V-shaped slit in cork of the right
OumenElOnS 10 pass over the hOuHuOU
gun. This NAV be lightly pressed into
place by the teeth of the other jaw,
and as it is applied pledget of lint or
similar dressing may properly be ftted
to the cavity, though often the com
press alone viii prove effectuaL. It Is
useful, also, in such cases, to maintain
an erect position of the patient, either
sitting or standing. Warm foot baths
re also helpful, with friction of the
over limbs, to divert the blood from
Aae head as much as practicable. These
directions and suggestions apply, Of
curse, to such occasions as require
treatment in the absence, or awaiting
the arrival, of the family physician or
the dentist.

In n Georpia Swamp.

Howell G. jackson has returned to
his home after having spent nearly two
months with party of explorers in the
wilds of the great Georgia wilderness,
Okefenokee swamp, writes an At
lanta correspondent. The woods that
dot this swamp TEEN with bears, wild
cats and panthers and the waters
swarm with hideous reptiles and blood
thirsty alligators, wing in size and
ferocity with the crocodiles of the Nile.
On one occasion Mr.. Jackson and two
of the party sailed up small river to q
lake inhabited by monster alligatots.
The boat had not reached the lake
when the alligators, of all sizes, could
be seen, like huge logs of wood, lying
lazily upon the marshy banks or
perched on the trunks of rotten trees
that had fallen into the water.
As the boat shot around the curve
and entered the lake there was ter
rible commotion in the tangled brakes
on every side, accompanied by mighty
thrashing of the water, and half
dozen monsters of the inland sea
rushed toward the boats, their gaping
mouths wide open, their eyes glittering
with ferocious desire. Three rifles
were thrown to three shoulders, but
before the triggers could be touched
there was violent twist given to the
boat and the men came near being
thrown into the water, which was
literally squirming with alligators.
Mr.. Jackson, In looking over the stern
of the boat, saw an immense alligator
beneath it, and putting his rife almost
upon him, blew hole into his head
At the report of the gun the ad-
vacing gators stopped in establishment
and the boat was hurried back into q
/ safer latitude.
On every side snakes, especially
moccasins and rattlers, were met with,
and the wailing note of the panther
caused the blood to curdle.
Fish of all kind were so plentiful
that they could be caught so readily
with hook and line, biting at any
sort of bait, that it grew monotonouE
to take them in this way. The natives
shoot them with bow and arrow.
