Missouri eRche Highest stage Since
Flood of 1881 and Takes

The Missouri river showed a stage OF
nineteen feet Wednesday morning. which
is one-tenth of a foot rise since Tuesday

The Sound OF the Hammer-The Nebraska
City Press likes kickers not, hence in a
report of a ball game between the Eagles
and the Oklahoma Indians it says: Ne
braska City boasts of having a bunch who
have conceived the idea they have the
same right TO contribute their dime or
a quarter and go into the grandstsnd
simply for the purpose of roasting the
the home players. as II they were paying
fifty cents to see a professional game
played by a lot OF salaried men. None OF
the players rave received any salary. but
this bunch conclude they have a right to
sit up there and say mean things about
all OF the home boys. II is discouraging
and there Is no wonder that a number of
good ball players will not go on the grounds
to play because OF this fact. In other towns
the home team has the support OF every
one in their town, but here 1t seems TO be
the mission OF this bunch. which may see
their names in cold, clammy type. II they
don't break themselves OF this habit, to go
up there. not to enjoy the game. but simply
roast Let them stay at home, and not
annoy everyone that goes there for the pur-
pose OF enjoying themselves and witness

home boys the glad hand and boosting for
