ROW OVER A BALL GAME.
Clash at Nebraska City Between ON.
GERS and People.

CSEs uhO FeoPIcs
LINCOLN, Neb., July 21.-A tele-
Ehone message from Nebraska City
says there was a riot at the baseball
grounds there yesterday afternoon
when the Law and Order league at
tempted to prevent the game. A war
rant sworn out by members of the
league was placed in the hands of
Sheriff Brewer for the arrest of the
two teams.
When he arrived on the grounds. an
angry crowd surrounded him. His re-
volver was taken away. He succeeded
in arresting four players and took
them to a Justices office, where they
were placed under bonds.
A number of city pastors were at the
Justices office, and when they left
friends of the players threatened them.
A rock was thrown at Rev. c. M.
Shepperd of the Methodist church,
striking a companion and knocking
him down. Mr.. Shepherd was chased
to his home. Later. alleging that his
life had been threatened and that
church property was in danger, Mr..
Shepperd appealed to the mayor for a
police guard for himself and the
church property, and it was promised.
This outbreak is the outcome of a
long and bitter fight between the Law
and Orter league and friends of Sum
day ball. The question was put to
vote of citizens, and there was practi-
cafy unanimous vote for Sunday
ball.
Members of the league, however, re-
fused to participate in the election.

Try an Acre of Alfalfa,

e Alfalfa has been standard crop
of great usefulness in some western
states for years past. Experiments
have been made with it in many
states east of the Mississippi. There
have been failures, of course, but
these experiments have demonstrated
that it can be successfully and prof
itably grown in the middle and east
ern states under the right conditions
of soil and culture. Therefore it is
recommended as trial crop to pro-
Eressive farmers who will study the
needs of the plant in the way of
soils and management. Start with
an acre or two, and don't give it up
If the first and second attempts are
failures. Experience only can give
che skill required for fair trial.

Mr.. Short who was to preach at
East Lake was called by Presiding
Elder Watt to oliiciate at Newport.
Dr.. Short for time was in guam

ance and volunteered to serve in his
stead at East Lake. Mrs. Short
made a good impression with the con.
gregation aud was informed by u
number that they preferred her 10
her husband.
The fact that Mrs. Short was to
preach was known only to few, and
accordingly, when she entered the
house Of worship and advanced to the
pulpit, buzz of excitement rippled
about the room. When Mrs. Short
made the usual announcements and
Read the opening hymn interest reach
ed a high pitch, but all this was lost
on Mys. Short, who, with apparent
unconcern, read the scripture lesson
and called upon member of the con-
gregation to offer prayer.
For few moments after Mrs.
Short had taken her stand in the pull
pit there was vigorous craning Of
necks, and much whispering on the
part of the congreg alton, but this
soon gave way to deep attention, and
the interest manifested was mark.
ed.
The subject of her discourse was
"Silsnt Prayer" The sermon was
prepared by Mrs Short by some as
sistance from her husband. The text
was from st. Matthew, 6: 6.--"But
thou, when thou prayest enter into
thy closet, and when thou hast shut
the door, pray to thy Father which
seeth in secret shall reward thee
openly"
Mrs. Short expressed her belief in
silent prayer, and gave illustrations
in the prayers OF George Washington
and Abraham Lincoln. The thought
that the benefits derived from silent
Offering Of prayer would be just as
great as those to be derived from
prayers made openly and with great
show of feeling. She was of the
opinion that some of the latter class
made in public did not always come
so direct from the heart as some of
the former ones.
At the close of the service members
of the congregation gathered about
Mrs. Short and pressed her hand
warmly.
Mrs, Short states that. while her
first sermon to certain extent, made
her feel strange. she is ready to &C.
cupy the pulpit of her husband again
