The Joe DUFFY ball team had a smart.
brush with the Merchants team yester-
day afternoon at the new park at For
tieth and . streets. The field is still a
little heavy, as it has no turf and the re-
cent rain has rot completely dried of
yet. Nevertheless, both teams played good,
snappy ball The final score was to 3
in favor of the Dufys. After the sixth
inning the game was the Duffys for the
reason that both teams got down to work
and shut out all further chances to score.
II looked like the Merchants would tie in
the seventh when they drove a two-bagger
TO the right field, but the pitcher for the
Dunys stiffened up and shut out the next
three men who faced him and left the
game safe in their hands. Gurness and
shambler, Casey and Fitzgerald were the
batteries for the Merchants; Halbrook and
Smith. pitchers, and Cavanaugh, catcher,
for the Duf1ys Another game will be
played next Sunday afternoon. BY that
time it is thought the field will be in first
class condition. The attendance at yester-
days game was about 200.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
City Council VII Have Lot Of Work
''4 Before it Tonight.
SALE OF SEWER BONDS COMES FIRST
Acceptance of New Engine House Is
Likely to Cause Trouble for
Contractor on Account
of Extras.

The meeting of the city council tonight
will be confronted with more important
business than has been before the body
for several months. The bids on the sewer
bonds are to be opened and this i'm itself
involves a transaction of over S25O,OOO.
Many inquiries have been sent to the city
clerk regarding the issue of bonds, and Il
is likely that there will be several bidders.
Bids for the police patrol wagon will also
be opened on new specifications of lighter
dimensions than the wagon contemplated
at first There will also be a buggy Cor
the chief of police.
The new fire hall is to be accented by
the council. From the way that matter
has been delayed 1t is judged that there
will be some dificulty in the acceptance
in the end. 1t is understood that the council
will possibly demand-that at least one of
the stairways shall be reconstructed.
Several extra improvements and changes
in the specifications of the original contract
were made and these were permitted by
the old council on the recommendation of
the Fire and Police board. 1t may be that
the new council will take exceptions TO
these additions and refuse to settle the
account. Among these improvements was
steel ceiling TO the apparatus room,
RAoSNOAA6 VI Allt lpolilb VI the SeNNilu Alooii
a platform at the rear of the building and
other lesser changes. In all these changes
have brought the price of the building NJ
above $4,000 The contract was originally
| awarded to Johnson & skow at a figure
between $4,000 and $4,000.
An ordinance granting a right-of-way tC
the Interurban railroad will probably b.
introduced and given its first reading.

has no theory to account for the skull

Modern Jonah" a skit by Harry Foy and

maid, bewailing the fate that impends,
for she IL ordered to marry an octopus
and only few moments of freedom are left
her Just then a whale swims down and
spews out a Jonah" who has been cast
overheard from a racing yacht. This
Jonah happens to be OF Milesian extraction,
and the ensuing explanation and converse
ton is of the most absurd Sort but full of
wit and humor. Jonah has to hold onto
an anchor to keep on the bottom, for each
time he let's go he starts for the top. He
finally agrees to elope with the mermaid
to enable her to escape the octopus Sine
goes TO get her treasure which is in the hold
of Captain Kids sunken ship. and as she
cannot hold to the anchor and the treasure
sacks too. Jonah fastens the anchor tc
his trousers, while the mermaid piles his
arms fun Of bullion. Just here is where
brooches weren't equal TO the task, the
anchor hold tore out and Jonah vanished
into upper water leaving the mermaid or
the floor OF the deep with her treasure ches
