II expect that heads of the committee

shall, however, make a number of speeches

DICK GRoTTE HAS THE DOPE
Figures IL Out How the ROurkes VIII
Win the Pennant Again.

wan mt ChhEnh ~
Your old college chum, Dick Grotte, one
of the best fans on earth and a wise one,
too, has it all doped out for the Rourkes
to pin that bunting up again next spring.
Here is what Richard has to say on this
interesting topic:
WIN we win the pennant?
II think we will. Just follow me and
procure some food for thought, or in the
words of the fan, just get a line on this
dope.
The team is now playing its last games
Of the season at the west end of the circuit
five games with Denver and five with
Pueblo, counting the postponed games,
while Sioux City will be playing at Des
Moines and at home with the same club.
We are at present about four games ahead
of Sioux City and with any kind of luck
at all should return home on the 27th of the
month still in the lead or at least about
tied with them, as naturally they should
gain on us while away from home.
THE four games to be played here on
the 9th, 2Sth and 29th of August with Sioux
City will be hotly contested, as ii means
more than any other games before the fin
ish as to the outcome of the race, as both
teams play the same opponents with one
exception. Omaha will be playing ten
games with Des Molnes while Sioux City
plays Lincoln eight. This, if anything, is
an advantage to Omaha and counts a great
deal in a close race.
'fhe pitchers of the Omaha club are in
far better shape just at present than at any
time this year, The fielding of the team as
a whole is of a higher class and the bat
ting greatly increased, so there seems but
one outcome to me and that is Pa Rourke
will again unfuTl that white lettered flag to
the joyful muTmurs of the Omaha patrons
I'm the beautiful springtimP and we will
welcome the Champions of 1904"

"Peruna has been a blessing to our

Il found that a cold left me with ca

My head was stopped up, l had frontal

there was a nasty dropping in my throat
which nauseated me and made It impos-

"As soon as 1 began to use Peruna /

Makes Personal lights and Guarnn-
steed Bank Deposits Paramount

sfeed Bank Deposits Paramount.
Personal rights, guaranteed bank de-
posits and a system of effecting reforms
by means of a compromise conference sys-
tem-these three planks compose the plat
form of Mayor Dahlman in his campaign
for governor, as outlined in a speech be-
fore the Dahlman Democracy Friday night.
Immediately upon the close of his speech,
the mayor left for Otoe county to open his
campaign tour of the state.
Regarding personal rights, Mayor Dahl
man stated that he was opposed to prohibit
ton and to county local option, because by
local option the people in the country
would govern the affairs of the towns, and,
he said, that IL he was elected he would
veto any local option bill that was passed.
By the guaranteed bank deposit law, the
candidate believes that boarded money
will be brought out from its hiding places
and that the reserve money center will
be moved from the east out to the rich,
fertile fields of Nebraska" The mayor
said that he had always been of the opin-
ioB that reforms have weakened and died
largely because of too much red tape, and
he proposes to get away from this by hav-
ing conferences with representatives Of the
several interests aggrieved.
Following the ADDRESS by mayor DAM
man, T. H. Greevy of Altoona, Pa, brother
of NJ. ]. Greevy of Omaha, addressed
the club briefly. In the convention of the
Eagles at Seattle last week Mr.. GreeYy
seconded the nomination OF Omaha as the
place for holding the national convention
next year, and on account of this he was
warmly received. He is a democrat while
his brother is president OF a local repub-
lican club.
After Mr.. Greevy spoke the following
democratic Candidates addressed the club:
