RULES MUST BE ALTERED
Cricket Under Present Conditions Said
to Hc Too SLOW for the Amer
lean Temperament.

OMAHA Dec 0.--To the Sporting Editor
of The Bee Mr, sImms' dissertation on
cricket in England is beside the mark and
entirely foreign to anything / have written
concerning the game Cricket in England
and cricket in the United States are two
entirely different propositions and when I
stated in my last letter that in my opinion
cricket under the present rules was too
slow for the average American citizen the
assertion was based on fact and observation.
What the average Englishman thinks Of the
game in England is outside of the contro-
ver9y and does not affect the status Of the
game on this side OF the pond, for the reason
that conditions are entirely different,
To prove that the game is too slow one
has only TO make a retrospect of the North
western Cricket association meetings. In
Chicago in 1895, when the first meeting was
held, so great an interest did the public take
In tbe tournament that at no time during
the week did the audience number more than
twenty or thirty people aud Chicago has a
population of over a million and Ia consld-
cred somewhat rapid, In st. Paul the follow
ing year the attendance during the entire
week did not foot up over 100 people in the
aggregate, In Omaha during the exposition

INSIDINUS CATARRH.
Catnrrh is Hard Disease to Over
come, but 1T Can he Done by the
Right Method and Remedy.

Mrs p. M IIidenbrand of Juniata. Neb.,
says: Il have been a catarrh sufferer for
years and / have tried innumerabe rene
dies without much relief, and l had almost
given up all hopes of a cure until com
menced to use Gauss Catarrh Tablets.
Unhesitatingly will say that Gauss Ca
tarrh Tablets Is the best remedy | have
ever used. They have done me worlds of
good and I most cheerfully recommend
them to every sufferer of this dreadful dis
ease
Catarrh is one of the most obstinate dis
eases to overcome; in fact, some physi-
clans pronounce it next to incurable.
However, the right method and right rem
edy have exploded this idea. What Gauss
Catarrh Tablets have done for one they
will do for you.
Gaus' Catarrh Tablets contane no CO.
caine or stimulating drugs, but, on the
contrary, they constitute a perfectly pure
and safe remedy designed for the positive
cure of Chronic Nasal Catarrh, Catarrh of
the Stomach and Bladder and Catarrhal
Sore Throat. The tablets are taken in
ternally and at once reduce the intlammcd
and diseased membranes to their natural
healthy condition.
one trial of the tablets will demonstrate
all that is claimed for them. At druggists
or by mail, soc per package. Valuable in
formation to Catarrh sufferers is obtained
by reading our free book. Address,

P2OE9. S. N. WELTNIETe,

perfectly natural manner goes TO the very
seat of the trouble, and 1t can positively be
stated that this wonderful discovery will
cure all disease, no matter what the ma
ture or of how long standing. More than
100000 men and women who have been cured
of every disease known through Weltmer-
ism are positive evidence that d!spel fur
thcr doubt. Weltmersm does not only
cure those cases that so to Nevada for
treatment. but through the method known
as the Absent Treatment it cures at a dis
tance Just as readily. The American
School Of Magnetic Healing have received
thousands upon thousands of letters from
men and women who have been cured by
this New Science and who thought it was
their duty to testify the fact of their cure
for the benefit of human beings that are
suffering. We are permitted to publish a
few of these testimonial:
r. r. Rodes of Paris, Mo. the prosccut-
ing attorney of Monroe county, suffered for
years from .Sciatic Rheumatism. Tried
everything without benefit. Was instantly
cured through Prof. Weltmer's Absent
Treatment. Mr.. Rodes has recently, won
fame as the attorney in the celebrated Jes-
ter case. Mr.. c. r. Graham of Boise
city, Iowa. was afflicted for nine years

Almost every great discovery owes its
origin to the master mind of an American
citizen. The curing of disease, which has
attracted the attention of more great minds
than any other prOfesio has a last been
placed in the domain of exact science.
All diseases can now be cured without the
aid of drugs or the surgeons knife through
a method of Magnetic Healing originated
by that eminent scientist, Prof. S A. Welt
mer of Nevada, Mo. Just pause for mo-
ment and grasp the enormity of this grand
discovery. Think of the thousands of our
noble women who have suffered the tortures
and the agCnies of female troubles and who
could get neither relief nor cure from the
medical profession. These great sufferers
can now be cured and brought back into
that health which will permit them to enjoy
life and then, again, think of the legion of
men who have become weak and debitated
through early indiscretions, overwork and
dissipation, and who have taken gallons
of obnoxious drugs, with no cure in sight;
they can now look up with hope in their
eyes, for there is positive and permanent
cure for them in the efticacious method of
Magnetic Healing known as Weltmerism

terest-Hnndicap shoot Postponed
Because of pnd weather.

Stormy weather has necessitated several
postponements in the twenty-five bird
handicap which was to have been shot on
Thanksgiving day, and at this time no date
has been decided upon for bringing off the
contest Much interest has been aroused in
it and the event promises to be an exciting
one when IL is held. 1t is proposed that
the handicap shall be open to all comers,
and an entry fee of $40 will be charged the
participants. This will narrow down the

Of this ante-Christmas time. there has
been but little movement among the local
sportsmen during the last week Three or
four quail parties have been organized, and
the hunters who have gone out in search
OF this most attractive Of game birds have
met with only a fair degree Of success.
They report that the season Is marked by
a noticeable scarcity of quail or else they
have been unfortunate in finding their
coveys
Stockton Heth and Sandy Griswold went
out to Chapman last Sunday and scared UP
a few quail The day was an elegant one
from the sportsmans standpoint, and al
together the trip was a most enjoyable
one.
Harry Root and w d. Townsend returned
Tuesday from Arapahoe, bringing with them
a fairly well filled bag Of quail and rab-
bits.
John Mcdonald and Gus Harte left Tues
day for the vicinity of Lindsay for a quail
hunt. They were gone for several days,
even longer than they expected to be- and
for this reason the stay-at-homes were in
clined to believe that they had been sue
cessful in discovering favorable hunting
ground.
w. d. Townsend left Friday afternoon for
Atkinson, out on the edge of the sand
hills, where he will spend a week hunting
quail. o. H. Townsend joined him later.

Halfback Elliott in the Omaha Lincoln game
was proved to have been the coach of Hast
ings college during the summer and fall
Fullmer, who also played with the Lincoln
team in that game, is said to have played
with the University of Nebraska a point
provided against in the rules. Alexander
against whom Red Oak entered protest, was
not in school al the time the game occurred
and letter was offered in evidence to that
effect from the principal of the Lincoln High
school. The choice was ther narrowed to
Red Oak and Omaha and that question of
supremacy was settled by the Thanksgiving
game.
The Hanscom Park foot ball eleven, under
the leadership of Captain Fred Johnson, have

They have not once been defeated or even
scored against Their teamwork has been
excellent and as to individual work, they
have some of the finest material to be
found, and those who watch the High school
games next season will find Hanscom Park
boys in evidence on that team. 1t is not a
heavy team, the average weight being only
12S pounds The line has at all times been
inyincible and the backs are fast, neryy

the entire season. The lineup is as follows;

made by horsemen who are in close touch
with local conditions that next season will
witness the best demand for high grade
animals ever known in Omaha Already
several Of the lovers Of fine horse flesh have
booked advance orders for certain animals
which they wish to add to their possessions
early in the spring.

Iowa has the distinction of claiming thirty
two trotters and PAGERS bred or developed,
or both bred and developed, in that state
which are recorded within the 2:1O list. This
collection of racing animals is such as to
make the average horse lover in Iowa proud
of his state and especially proud of the
achievements won by its representatives of

CLASH OF WESTERN GIANTS
Wisconsin-ChicnEo Game One of
Notable Contests of Scnson-
Local Foot BALL News.

The gates of Marshall field at the Univer-
sity of Chicago have been closed during the
last week to give the Maroons opportunity
to practice in secret for the game with Ws-
cOnsin for the western championship. Stagg
has gone to the trouble of teaching his men
a new set of signals in the fear that the old
ones might have become familiar to persons
unfrlendly to the university Erwin, for
merly of the University of Nebraska, now a
Chicago line player, says that Coach Robin
son of Brown was offered the list of Chicago
signals for the cum of $25 When Robinson
refused the signals were impaired to him
gratis. Coach Robinson, who also acted in
a similar capacity at the University of Ne
braska is said to have taken the Chicago
guard into hio confidence because of their
previous association at Lincoln.
Tho coaching of tho last week at Chicago
has been directed mainly to a preparation
to meet Wisconsns phenomenal kicking
game. II was made the ambition of the
Maroons to break through the Wisconsin
line and block O'DeG'a punts. O'Dea, how
ever, usually stands back twelve yards when
he kicks and on Thanksgiving day gave a
magnificent exhibition in going around a
man who had almost blocked him and punt
ing on the run.
Chicago has been considered a particularly
dangerous opponent in offensive work, how
ever, and was expected to spring several
surprises on the Wisconsin punter by break
ing through the Interference. Tho Maroons
have proved very aggressive during the last
season and have secured a total OF 800
points in college games, which is q greater
number than that reached by any other col
lego, east or west. To support tho strong
offense excellent defensive tactics have been
developed in spite Of tho fact that the coach
was confronted by green material at the be-
ginning of the season.
Wisconsin has probably the best defensive
team in the west, and this feature, with the
aid of ODea's foot. has been relied upon to
wreak havoc in the ranks Of its opponents.
The Badgers are less notable in their offen-
sive game, their backs being brilliant in
diyidually, but lacking in team work.

PALAvER OF The PUGILlSTs
Ernc and o'aricn Fight Draw for
Lightweight Championship-Intcr
est in JcGrics' Next Fight.

The most important event in pugllstic
circles during the last week came off in
New York Monday night, when Frank Erne
of Buffalo and Jack OBrien of New York
met to decide the lightweight championship
of the world. For twenty-five rounds the
two clever pugilists biffed and banged each
ether and at the end Referee George Siler
called it draw.
Considerable interest was taken in the
bout all over the country. Erne held the
lightweight championship and his friends
expected that he would easily be able to
retain the honor. The fight which O'Brien
put up was a great surprise. The exhibition
is characterized by those who witnessed it
as the prettiest kind of a pugilistic argu-
ment and George Siler's decision is unani-
mously considered to have been the only
right one possible under the circumstances.
Throughout the first twenty-four rounds
honors were about evenly distributed. One
round O'Brien had the better of it, the next
Erne showed superiority and so it continued
all the way through until the twenty fifth.
Then Erne got to work for the decision.
He ripped it into OBrien's face and wind
like a fiend. But o OBrien was all there and
fought back like a tiger Both men were
on their mettle There was a $4,000 purse
up as an incentive, but more to be desired
than the money was the highly priced light
weight championship. That last round was
game finish to a game fight.

Devotees of the prize ring are discussing
pro and con the next championship battle
to be waged between Jim Jeffries and some
aspirant for championship laurels. An
agreement is now pending between Jeffries
and Corbett There is no reason to doubt
that this agreement will be satisfactorily
brought about. Corbett, it is known, is de-
cidedly anxious to take another try at pugi-
listic honors and BILLY" Brady Jeffries'
manager, would sooner enter into an agree
ment at this time with Corbett than with
any other fighter. Corbett will want plenty
of time for training and therefore it will be
several months before Jeffries' theatrical
career will be disturbed in order to enter
into training for the prize ring. We're an
agreement entered into now with Sharkey,
FitzsimmOns, Rubin, Maher or some others
they might become obstreperous and want
the fight to be pulled OFF at an early day
This would necessltate a change in Brady's
bookings for long theatrical tour with the
champion pug. With Corbett as the first
asprant on the list to try conclusions with
the boilermaker he must be settled with
before the others can bob up and clamor for
a chance, and Corbett will wait.

Preliminary to the fight between Erne and
O'Brien the former was by all odds the fa-

which his hackers eagerly sought to have
covered. O'Brien's supporters were by no
means slow and took advantage OF the odds,
10 to s, which were offered A well known
local authority on pugilism stated that the
result of the contest was a Corker and
merely went to show how uncertain are
