LINCOLN. Neb., April 25.-St. Paul
took its third straight game from the
senators to-day by virtue OF better work
with the stick and superior fielding. 1t
was Lincoln's first Sunday game, and
the attendance was over 3,00J. 1t would
have been larger. but word had gone
forth that zcalOus advocates of Sunday
observance would serve 4 warrant on
the players. They did not, however,
probably fearing the charge would not
hold, as The Rowe aggregation could
hardly be accused of playing ball, and the
visitors were having such a nice little
time that it would have been q sin to dis
turb them in their amusement. The locals
got one in the first OH Cline's base on
balls. EIy's error and RoWe's sacrifice,
and another in the ninth on Erwin 5 hit,
Tomney's base Oh balls and Darn
brOugh's single The visitors got three
i'll their half Of the third. Hamburg
hit for a home run and was followed by
Meekin with a tbree-bagger, and Bald
win with a double. They added three
more in the eighth. Burkett dropped
O'Briens nigh fly, and the big first
baSeman took second, scoring on Con-
ley'S double. Burkett's second error
gave Hamburg life, COniey crossed
the plate, and on Meekin'S triple Ham,
burg scored. The score:

nm ALLIANOR DYING.


News reaches the general public, via
one Of the newly appointed state officers,
that the Alliance 10 dying out. This has
familiar sound, and while in many re-
spects II may be bumped like a camel,
there can be no question about lts shape
resembling a chestnut. Early last year,
when the trees put out their tender
shoots and the Easter flowers blushed
under the first gaze Of man, there came
In reports that the Alliance was going 10
pieces, and anon the confirmation came
from the four quarters of the state, the
birds carolling II in their tuneful lays,
the frogs mentioning II In their bass solos,
and the Republican politicians preaching
it from stump, school house and theatre
AS the spring wore into summer and
summers verdure took on the tlnts Of
fall, the rumors grew thick and numer-
GUS, and the day was counted lost whose
low descending sun cast no rays upon a
new story from hlther or yon, that the
Alliance was dying out As cool Septem-
ber approached q cold November the
telegraph conveyed tho good news, glad
tidlng9 and peace, happiness and even
hilarity dwelt In the hearts Of man
dwelt there until that almost fatal day In
early November when the highlands met
the lowlands in battle array, and smOte
US hip and thigh, falling upon us like q
thousand Of prOveFbial brick, and max
ing US very uncomfortable. Since that
memorable day we have heard mighty
little about the Alliance dying out until
this week Col. Showalter came In from
Sumner county, and retslled the hOaFy-
headed and worm-eateu chestnut to the
marines here and hereabout.-TOpekq
