Nebraska Democrats Want Him
to Meet Bryan.
Asked to Discuss the Money
Issue With Him.
ARE NOT BOLTERS.
Mr.. Carlisle Informed That
These Are Not Boilers.

OMAHA, -Neb., July 1.-THE fnan-
cial issue, politically, has again been
forced to the front in Nebraska by the
publication of letter to Secretary
Carlisle from the Democratic central
committee. He is warned that the in
vitation he recently received to ad-
dress Nebraska Democrats at Lincoln
September was not issued by the
Democratic state central committee,
but by the element in the party
which bolted the convention last year.
The committee explains in detail
that only thirty out of 400 delegates
bo1ted the convention nominee, os
tensibly because OF fusion, but really
because the convention favored free
silver. Incidentally it may be men,
toned that though the boilers are
very small part of the party, they
have been given all of the federal
patronage and recognized as the only
Democratic party at Washington. The
letter concluded: However, by direc-
ton of the regular Democratic organ
ization of Nebraska, we hereby extend
you a cordial invitation to attend
the regular Democratic state cOnven-
ton at date to be fixed in the near
future and engage in a joint discuss

BASE BALL.

The Giants left the Emporia Maroons
at the post yesterday and soon got so
many runs that the game ceased to have
any interest as a contest.
Dunn's men tried hard for shut out
but the mind of Riester, et al, took a
vacation and the Maroons had a run.
Drummer let down then and the five others
they got were gifts. Emporia's playing
was awful. G. Evans, the third baseman,
relieved Shepard in the last inning.
In the earlier part of the game some
brilliant plays enlivened the cranks
Krebs and Randolph made circus catches
in the third and Jones' one hand stop of
a grounder in the fourth was little short
of miraculous. Jamison caught hard
one in the fifth which was apparently
safe and in the eighth Dunn stopped a
hit near second in a sensational manner.
1t is to be hoped that the Giants will
win today, thus breaking even on the
last six games between the teams EN-
portals most valuable man, Umpire Mil
Ter, is not along to encourage them, and
this is probably the cause of their col
lapse.
The last game of the series occurs this
afternoon and Augusta will occupy the
box for Topeka, while Roy Evans or
Jamison twirls for Emporia. The score:

-Four ,skeletohs Round.

WICHITA, Kan, July IA mystery
of twenty-four years standing was
probably solved at Waukomis, Ok,
yesterday, by T. j. Blake, who dug up
the skeletons of three men and boy
on his farm. Three brothers named
Fowler and the 14=year-old boy of one
of them started out from Caldwell,
Kan, for Fort Sill in 1871 with freight
for the government. Neither they
nor their teams have ever been heard
from, and the skeletons dug up were
undoubtedly theirs. They were prob
ably murdered, robbed and buried by
the outlaws that infested that country

The Boxing Match.

That Prescott is not a prize fight CTS, town was evidenced on Saturday evening by the very slim attendance at the Prescott Opera House. Those who attended, though, seem satisfied with the evenings performance, al- though there was no blood shed during the evening. The perform ance opened about 9:30 with a very tame three round glove contest be- tween Joe Herman and somewhat less muscular youth named Bat. They batted each other harmlessly around the stage, showing little science or skill. Two other bouts followed, which proved but little more interesting that the first, when the event of the evening was an nounced, a ten round go between Kid Meyers, from Chicago, (nearly 2,OOO miles from there), and Harry Warren, who claims to hail from California. This proved what the admirers of the manly art call a very lively and interest ing mill. Both contestants showed considerable science in boxing, and they thumped each other in such a scientific manner that the audience was pleased. The "Kid." particu- larly, won the admiration of the spectators, as he pushed the fight from the start. Several knock downs were scored, and in the eighth round the Kid" was put to sleep by a well directed blow which landed on his neck, causing a knot as big as an egg to rise on 1t. He not only dozed while the ten seconds were counted, but several minutes elapsed before he came to, only to find that the fight had ended.
 There Is talk of starting an athe- letic club here for the purpose of giving periodical exhibitions of this kind, but it is doubtful if such a thing would add any to the reputa- tion of the town, and it is not likely to be encouraged to any extent by any one having the welfare of the town at stake.
