The Louisville Courier-Jourua says "In
his speech at Memphis, Senator TurPie, of
Indiana. said he regarded iron a more useful
metal than gold or silver but objected TO 1t
as a money metal on account of its abund-
snce. Now, in saying this, Mr.. Turpie
gives up the whole controversy. Ii iron is
too cheap for money, it must be so on ac-
count of the necessity Of putting a dollars
worth of it into a dollar. Ifitis sufficient to
put only a fraction offs dollars value intoa
dollar. iron will do well enough"

THE NATIONAL GAME.
LINCOLN AT HOME.

Friday old Bill Traffiey and his gang
swooped down on us; swooped is good
word, 700. They enticed the buckets
out to the NJ street park, and without
any foolishness or apology beat the
locals 8 to 3. Figgemeier pitched win
ming ball and Kimmerer didn't. That tells
the story completely.
IT
Saturdays game with the TRAITS was a
pretty contest-bar the fatal ninth
Both teams put up good ball and the
game was exciting until the last drink
water man sprinted over the plate with
the winning run. Gragg was touched
rather freely in the ninth. O'Brien
missed an easy pop-up, and, we'll they
got one more run than we did.
tt
After making gooi his boast that he
would take two out of the three from
the Bucks, old man Traffley and his
gang dropped the third, and it was a
clear shut out, Ii too. Freddy did the
twirling for the locals. The game was
characterized by the good hitting and
ginger of "ours."

McGreevy speaks highly of Quincy

Sandy Griswold is the cleverest base

Jax won a game from Peoria recently,
the first in three years.
Rockford papers are squealing because
their team can't hit the ball
The high wind robbed O'Brien of a

Burkett, of Cleveland, was the first

The Quincy Herald says Rockford is
their tapioca. Wonder who ours is?
Corbett, who once wore Lincoln uni.
form, has caught on with Rockford.
Peoria lined out sixteen safe hits for
total of twenty bases off McGreevey
recently.
The les NoiIts iIftlC s throwing

a merry dance.
We want at least g out Of the 81

we can have them.
David City has the crack amateur
team of Nebraska.
Snapper Kennedy is playing great bali
these days. 1t is nofiattery to say he is

In Wednesdays game at Omaha
O'Brien got three safe ones for six bases
and played without an error.
Tom Ramsey, who was released by st.
Joe early in the season, is now With
Mrs. Ramsey, recently signed.
Freddy Barnes is not exactly king
but he is very much pros when it
comes to pitching winning ball.
The Omaha team will be transferred
to another town-Denver or Sioux City
probably the latter within week.
Rockford and Quincy papers devote
good deal Of space to base ball. The
game is very much in favor there.
The State Journal gets its percentage
table beautifully mixed. What's the
matter with copying from the Ners?
Des Moines passed Omaha and moved
up to third place this week. That is as
near the top as she will get this season.

NO more games at the NJ street park
until Aug. 9th when the Bucks meet
Quincy, Peoria, Jax, and Rockford in
the order named These are the last
scheduled games Of the Illinois club in
Lincoln this season.
The Lincoln team is now PLAYING in
the east and twenty .one games will be
played ere they return home. As to the
number OF cobs with corn on they will
possess when they return is nothing
short OF guess work.
The Lincolns have lost few games
recently and the crowds are sore. The
Lincolns are mighty good team and il
they don't satisfy the home patrons the
latter must be an ugly, ungrateful and
unreasonable lot.-Rockford Star.

three are in evidence.
All Of the teams in the Association
have now passed the half way mark and
are fairly started for the wire. The
fight for the rag will be between Lincoln
and Peoria, although the next two clubs
have fighting chance. Quincy is
spending money freely for pitchers and
Rockford is hustling for better talent.

Omaha should be nearer the top, at least
Des Moines has no license to lead her.

FROM THE QUINCY HERALD.
Mertes has an offer from Indianapolis
or Minneapolis.
The two "Jims"- McGreeyey and

Sox near the top in the next three
weeks,
Come, boys, ginger up. We're only
two behind Omaha and Des Moines and
seven behind the leaders. There's no
reason why we can't win the pennant
yet, with sixty-three games to play.

av6ooTEIEp OVER,
WaterIworks Difficulties for the Mos
Part Arranged,


Yesterday Contractor Burke reports
that he succeeded in adjusting the most
OF the difficulties with The worl0men un-
der the sub-contr actors.
The hhrf dozen men who refused their
money THE day before and quit work,
ciniming ttlht they were entitled TO 81 per
day. came to settlement with Mr.. Burke
and took their money but did not go
back TO work.
The men on the pipe line agreed to con-
tinue ait work on the understanding that
the water commission pay their money
to them direct on each pay day on the
estimates of the work done. This ar
rangement was most satisfactory no Mr..
Burke and the understanding was closed
on that basis.
The men under Contractor Lucas on
the stone work also became dissatisfied
and were inclined to quit warlS, but
Mr.. Burke made the same Arrangement
width them ais with the pipe line men
and they also agreed to continue at work.
The question of the 5000 force account,
cealmed by Parelld & Co., was brought up
In an informal manner by Mr.. Ferrcra
before the water commission at their
meeting In the afternoon. The commits
sion did not seem 10 favor the payment
Of this ccahm, but promised to refer
the matter to the city attorney If Mr..
Fcrrera would present the natter in its
proper form
The men on the tunnel, under sub
Contractor Moody, quit work at noon,
demhnding a guaranty Of some kind for
their wages, but up to the present writ
ing no arrangement llats been arrived at.
Mr.. Moody clafnts that he owes his men
$160 wages, but Mr.. Burke says the
amount is not so large, and that yester-
day afternoon he sent up the money
that was due them. He also states that
he thinks hhere will be no difficulty in
Satisfying THESE men today. There are
many men and contractors who would
be glad Ito take the tunnel work and its
construction will not be delayed, however
the present trouble may terminate.
No time checks are issued, but alC wages
are paid in cash and many applications
for work are received daily.
If this fine weather continues the as
phlit work on the reservoir will be fin
Rshed this week, and good progress is
being made in all of the other leT art
m,s Tonlgh. MIR. Burke will 70 to
Portland for two more scow loads of
rock for THE parapet wall and win Ship
them down at once.
Mr.. Burke said he never had more 5altis-
factory business dealings than with the
Astoria water cfmmission, that they are
an successful business men and that any
one who can successfully handle his own
business can do the business Of others
as II should he done.
