The Morristown Field club played
its last game of the season Saturday
afternoon and was defeated by the
Chester A. @. four to three in fine
game. Chester got its tallies in the
first inning, Mullin hitting two of the
visitors, three errors and two hits do
ing the trick. Morristown fought
hard to over come the lead and nearly
made good. Millen, who has been
playing lately with the Parksides, was
in the game and got three Of the six
hits garnered of Causbrook. In the
eighth he banged out home run
bringing Sturgis in ahead Of him who
had singled. Sturgis was also respons-
ible for the locals tally in the sixth.
Two fast double plays by the locals

seems to be the goal toward which the
Alerts are striving, and they came a
whole lot closer to it Saturday after
noon when they gave the Clevelands
the unusual sensation of shut out,
one Alert getting across the plate.
Conway banged the sphere to let in
Glennon early in the game and thence
on it was grimly fought battle.
Both pitchers did things with the
horsehide that made the fans stand
up, but the rest of the teams got
chances to make them get up and take
notice some more. None of the Cleve-
lands even attempted to swipe sta
tion. Naughton saved the day for the
Alerts, when from deep left field he
dispatched the ball to the home plate
in time for Conway to tag Cook just
over the home plate. Glennon, also
received the plaudits of the fans for
mailing an air ship in right field.
Pop" Fighter was on hand as usual
with bis string of patter, but Pop"
became too excited, very shortly, to
use it. Things seemed to be coming
the grocer's way and he turned the
laugh several times on the fans who
tried to kid him by making some OPP
perfume plays. Combs, of the Cleve-
land bunch couldn't get next to
Knights serpentine effects, but he
managed to get on the first bag by
swatting ball about six inches oyer
his head. Callahan of the Alerts was
on hand with his grandstand work
aud worked a double play unassisted.

Glennon got two, one of them good

RAPS EXTRA SESSION
Dahlman Cannot Hear Brother Bryan
on This Scheme.
BE SAYS IT WOULD BE FOOLISH
Omaha's chief f. More In
terested In That FiddlinE Con-
test Down at Nebrnska
CITY.

Mayor Dah,man. back at his desk, was
enthusiastic over two things. the fiddlers'
contest he Witnessed at Nebraska City
and the neediessness Of an extra session
OF the Nebraska state legislature.
TT would be a foolish thing. in my
Judgment. to have an extra session Of the
Legislature at this time" said the mayor.
There Is no emergency OF any kind con-
fronting the people Of the state to give
excuse for such an expense. Those who
favor and those who oppose the initiative
and referendum can wisely busy them
selves in sounding public opinion between
now and The time for the next regular SEES
sion, rather than take It for granted the
legislature would enact such q law II
called together"
OF the fiddlers' contest the mayor said
Il was the most enjoyable social function
he had attended IN many moons. ""Th
night was wet and stormy. but the opera
house was packed until not another per
son could possibly get inside and many
had TO go back home. The fiddlers were
Of the real o~ldAfashioned kind and made

and become one myself.
Ran of OId Tunes.
The old tunes OF many countries were
played In that key which gives a response
everywhere In the world. The Arkansas
Traveller met an old comrade on The Rocky
Road to Dublin. and Turkey in the Straw
made merry In The Wind that Shakes the
Barley. They were all together The Night
hat Larry was Stretched on the Tomblg-
bee. Gyp, Gyp, Ny Little Horse, went
beautifully with The Rambler from Glare,
and along The suwanee River the Mocklng
Bird recalled the Old Kentucky Home.
Nellie Gray and Sweet Alice that Ben Bolt
loved and lost touched up many a fond
memory. Just sufficiently relieved from
mournfulness by Coon Dog and Possum,
and, OF course, MassR in the Cold, Cold
Ground had his adherents. 1t was all so
pat, so snappy, pathetic, gay, frivolous,
rollcktng and soul-satisfying that l would
willingly ave gone to another thriller Of
the same kind the following night. Lexi-
cographers of music titles have lost track
Of many an old tune that was dug up and
made TO live again by those tiddlers, and
the performers got as much enjoyment out
Of it as did their cheering admirers"
After the contest 1 heard a story on
a man who is SO prominent IN Nebraska
now that / will not mention his name.
Years ago he was at q house warming
where settlers and their wives and daugh-
tiers had gathered from many miles around.
The dancing took place in the one BIZ
room that constituted the lower story Of
the house before the partitions were placed.
Overhead the jolsts. were covered with tar
paper taeksd on their lower edges. Up
stairs two beds had BEEN placed. with
boards loosely laid down for the legs to
rest on, and another board laid in front
OF each bed. to walk on.

The Merry Widow
Comes to the Boyd
Change in Contract Due to Delay in
Opening Date for the New
Brandeis.

The Merry Widow" win be presented at
the Boyd theater for one week, beginning
Sunday. December 2s, with three matinees.
This change has been brought about by
reason of the fact hat the new Brandeis
theater will not be ready for opening on
the date announced.
1t was the desire of Messrs. woodward
& Burgess to open the new theater with
an attraction OF the first rate, and for this
reason tho contract was made with Mr..
Henry W. Savage, and the route of "The
Merry Widow" company was arranged so
that it would not come to Omaha early in
the season. The company is now touring
the Pacific coast cities, but will come here
for the Christmas week Engagement, and
then swing back TO the coast.
Other contracts for new and important
attractions made for the Brandei are be-
ing transferred to the Boyd, the date for
opening he new theater being very I'M
certain now.

Window Smashed; Goods Stolen

The broken glass was worth about $10O, but all that the thief sue ceeded in carrying off as pair of shoes, the property of Kroon & Metz, valued at $7, and about $2 worth of cheap jewelry belonging to Joe Cubitto, the jeweler who works in the store, Depu- ty Marshal Bob Edwards and Deputy Sheriff Wirt Anderson were near the Bank saloon when they heard the sound of breaking glass down the street. They hurried to the scene, but the thief had already fled. A watchman was left in front of the broken window, while the officers took up the chase, but all they found was a few pieces of jewelry on the south side of the Miners Union hall, $l.50 watch on the trail leading to School hill, and few more trinkets on the steps of the school.

 But what the public has not been told until now is the tremendous number of cards sent in with suggestions.
 When MT. Riemen decided to call upon the school children for name for the townsite, he did not experiment There were no bulletins pasted at the schools, no dodgers printed, no big signs stuck up on billboaris and barn-doors MT. Riemen knew his business. He went straight to the newspaper and bought advertising space. A barrel was set up in the Silver Belt office, and all MT. Riemen needed do was to wait fol results.
 And the advertisement brought quick results.

 After Ntbat, it was only question of increasing interest--and work for the contestants.
 How those envelopes did pour into that barrel all week. The adjournment of school brought an avalanche of en- velopes every day, and early in the week, it became apparent that the judges would have their hands full when they undertook to make a final selection. The head of every family in town began to think that life was a burden; he heard East Globe, and var ious names for it discussed morning, noon and night And every morning the Silver Belt appeared with the ad- vertisement, still further firing the zeal of the youngsters. The children, most of them, were on their honor and scorned to ask advice, but not a few importuned their older friends and rel atives for suggestion There was no limit on the number of names to be suuHitteu Dy any Sdnuiuoto, anu oh every side the entreaty was to be heard
 "Please do give me name. y But the anxious week came to an end at last.

Kenefck, Harry Wightman and Charles Riemen, all res idents of East Gl-beg pardon-all res idcnts of Monte Vista, it was found that there were exactly 547 envelopes to be opened by them. Certainly, that is little more than the number of children attending school here-about thirty-six more than the full enrolment but children of all ages had read that ad, or had it read to them, and somc sent in more than one envelope, Mos' of the enclosed cards contained severaI names, but the point of especial inter est is the large number of entries il this contest, number which could h. vt been made possible by no other means than by judieious advertising in med ium as reliable as is the Silver Belt.
