TO SEE ROUREES
First Game in Omaha Will Be Played
Sunday.
sTORz TRIUHPHs THE OPPONENTS
Captain Fox is Putting the Men
Through strenuous Course of
Practice and is Getting
Them in Form.

Omaha fans will have a chance to glance
over Pas Colts in action Sunday after
noon at Vinton park. when the first game
OF the season will be played between the
Rourkes and the Storz Triumphs While
the full strength OF the Rourkes will not
be shown, the game will be full Of interest
as II will show what some OF the young
sters are like.
oldtimers Of the Rourkes are not extend
ing themselves this week. as they take
longer time in rounding into shape than the
younger members, who are hustling for
their Jobs Sanders, Holenbeck Thomas
and Ferry are old pitchers who have not
thrown a curved ball to date and will not
for a week.
Some Of the younger pitchers have
thrown a Thousand curved balls and when
admonlshed by Pa Rourke that they had
better save their arms until the weather
warns up a little one replied: Il have
been throwing for two months and 1t don't
bother me BIT"
Captain ouigley has assembled a fast
amateur bunch and expects to win the
game especially as Pat Ragan, who is in
fine shape, will pitch three innings. He
has big Coe for catcher, Drummy on first
ana Oufke on 1lDbOn mas p6eu WIN
the Originals for some years and is sup
posed to be the fastest amateaur on bases
in Omaha. Lafferty was star on the Dietz
team for some years and was recognized
as one of the best amateur pitchers in
Omaha last year.
Captain Fox probably will work three
pitchers Sindelar. Bovee and Thomas, al
though this may be changed to any OF the
other youngsters.
Players Tired Every Night.
Tired players go to their hotel each even
ing after practice, as Captain Fox puts
them through hard stunts both morning
and afternoon. Pitchers take their post
ton and throw at batters until they tire
and the players take their turns at bat.
No one Is allowed to hold down the bench,
as Captain Fox keeps the entire squad in
motion all the time. The idea Of playing
the pitchers in the infield and outfield is
to give them practice in fielding their posi-
ton so they may handle grounders and
fly balls. Hollenbeck is one of the worst
first basemen Omaha ever had, but Fox
keeps him there as he does not want him
to be throwing the ball all the way from,
the outfleld.

Riot is Threatened in Swanson County FolIow-
ing the Haskellian Methods of the Snyder
People in Removing Records From Noun
tain Park Sheriff Instructed to Carry
out Orders of Attorney General--May
Need Force to Regain Records.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 10.-If the
county seat war now on between Sny-
der and Mountain Park is not amicab-
ly settled soon Governor Haskell may
call out the militia to compel the Off
GERS of the new county of Swanson to
move the county records and property
from Snyder back to Mountain Park,
from whence they were taken under
cover of darkness a few days ago. A
delegation of Snyder citizens, headed
by A. F. Moss, came to Guthrie last
night and held conference with Act
ing Attorney General Spillman for the
purpose of defending the action of
the county commissioners in designat-
ing Snyder as the county seat.
The Snyder people take the position
that section 141S of Wilson statutes
authorizes the action they have taken.
That section, however, merely pro-
vides that if adequate quarters are not
furnished the county officers at the
county seat, the county commissioners
may designate some other place with
in the county as, to headquarters of
the county government.
Governor Haskell sent a telegram to
Attorney General West, in Colorado,
where he is spending his vacation,
stating that the county commissioners
of Swanson county removed the rec.
lords and county offices from Mountain
Park to Snyder and designated the
latter place as the county seat, where
as he (the governor) designated in his
proclamation, creating the new county
Mountain Park as the temporary seat
of government. The telegram states
that riot is threatened and asks the
attorney general to wire him at once
what action he should take. Attorney
General Vests reply was:
Mountain Park, designated by you
as the county seat, remains such until
changed by an official election of the
lpeople. Instruct the sheriff to pre-
serve order and protect property
posse, comitatus; if he is unable to
do so, let him GALE on you for the
militia"
Governor Haskell has instructed the
sheriff to carry out the instructions OF
the attorney general. The sheriff is

WHAT LOCAL OPTION WILL
MEAN IF ADOPTED HERE

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. 10
The question of local option and high
license will be voted upon at the gen
eral election in November, petitions to
that effect having been regularly filed
with the required number of sigma
lures in Oklahoma City with Governor
Haskell. This means that the old
fight of three years ago between the
prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists
will again be waged this fall with the
issue exceedingly doubtful. This is the
news that the telephone wires brought
from the capital city to Tulsa this
afternoon and it came from an auth
entic source. Should this proposition
carry its provisions become operative
at once. Some of the most important
are:
Licenses shall not be granted eY-
cept in cities where authorized by a
vote of the people. Licenses are $2,-
600 per year for saloons and 1920 per
year for medicinal purposes. One-halt
the license goes to the city and the
other half to the county for roads and
bridges There shall not be more
than one saloon for every 1000 peo-
lple In any city. Saloons shall contain
no tables or chairs, partitions, blinds
or screens or stained glass. Treating
| is forbidden as also is gambling in
any form. No drink shall be sold to
minors or habitual drunkards. Sa.
looms shall not be open on Sunday nor
from midnight to 6 a. m. Convictions
for violations of this law means both
fine and Imprisonment.

Honeymoon Trial."

The theatrical business, perhaps
more than any other, examplifies the
truth of the old adage, none but the
really good can endure" It's various
stocks in trade, namely, the various
attractions which go to make up the
theatrical business, are more affected
than are other stocks in trade, more
staple by nature, and are always gov
erned by the law of "the survival of
the fittest" Statistics show that sew
enty-two per cent of the theatrical pro-
ductions launched yearly by Ameri-
can producers, both big and little,
prove to be failures.
When a production contains all the
essential elements OF success, how
ever, there is no public more ready
to bestow upon it approval and pat
ronage than the American theatre
going public.
Honeymoon Trial." which comes
to the Auditorium, October Z, is a
striking example of a real theatrical
success. From the time the curtain
arose upon its initial performance at
the Laselle Theatre, Chicago, almost
three years ago, it has met with sue
cess of the most gratifying kind.
Hard luck stories" have never fol-
lowed it's presentation, and in every
city in which it has, appeared press
and public have been unanimous in
declaring it the wittiest, most melod-
ious, most beautifully mounted and
most generously dressed production
of the season.
Kelly and Fitzgerald have been far
sighted enough to see that Honey
moon Trail" is too valuable a prop
erty to allow to deteriorate and this
present season, therefore, sees it with
as beautiful and elaborate a produc.
tion as when its music first fioated
over the footlights. A cast number
ing almost all the original favorites,
anu COHtdlulnS III llS lOSIel SuCH well
known players as Louis Kelso, Fred
Wyckoff, Airline Boiling and Carl
George give to this tuneful comedy a
snappy and artistic presentation. The
famous LaSalle Theatre chorus con-
tanning thirty of the greatest singing
and dancing girls on the American
stage, is a feature.

IS
AGAIN ARRESTED
One Officer Failed to Tell Another
Man Was Under Arrest And
His Man Left Him.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 10.-Ser-
geant Edward Quinn might have had
the pleasure of dividing 81 ,450 in real
money if the sergeant had not been
careless with a prisoner who gave the
name of Sol G. Smith, but who has
been identified as William Schmul-
bach, wanted at Joplin, Mo, for the
killing of Policeman Smith the night
|of November Is.
The alleged Schmulbach was ar
rested by Todhunter at Eighteenth
street and Grand avenue Tuesday
night on complaint of a pawnbroker.
to whom he was trying to dispose Of
a watch, taken to headquarters and
locked up for investigation.
The prisoner said he lived at Ninth
and Central streets, but as the police
were unable to locate his room, Ser
geant Quinn took the prisoner from
the holdoyer and marched him to
Ninth and Central. There they met
Patrolman Palmer, but failing to men
ton that the man was under arrest,
Sergeant Quinn went to search for the
room. When he returned neither were
to be seen, and when Palmer was
found he explained that he was not
aware that the man was under arrest.
No Importance was attached to the
case until Friday morning when Frank
E. Browne, a restaurant keeper, for
merly on the police force in Joplin,
dropped into the Walnut street sta
ton with bunch of circulars and a
picture of schmulbach. The police
recognized the picture as that of the
man who had been arrested and later
escaped from the police.

"The first requisite to establishment
of justice is the establishment of law

to realize this fact" said Roosevelt
IF we stop in the establishment OF
law and order, we fail to do our further
duty, which is by thorough investiga

been denied and an injustice commit

There have been acts of violence

new HOSPITAL WILL Be
BUILT HERE THIS FALL

There is a rumor on the streets
that seems to be backed by facts that
Vinita will soon have an up-to-date,
modern hospital. 1t is said that Miss
Cole, who is a well known nurse here,
will begin the erection of the build
ing for this hospital at once. She has
purchased lots for the building in the
College View addition. The exact de-
tails of the plan for this hospital are
not known, but it was learned that it
is to be a twelve-room building erect
led especially for hospital purposes
and equipped with the most modern

SEPTEMBER 21 IS DATE
SET FOR BIG LOT SALE

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. Ex-Governor
Haskell and the capital commission
have set September q as the date
when the commission will begin sell
ing lots to the public from the 1900
acre tract northwest of Oklahoma
City, upon which it is proposed to To-
cate the permanent capitol of the
state. Excursion trains will be run to
the site from all over the state and
free lunch win be served.
The capital commission is going
straight ahead with its plans, notwith-
standing the chance that the supreme
court may declare the whole capital
scheme illegal if it decides the pres
ent litigation against Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma City real estate men and
the governor and the capital commits
sion have locked horns over the price
to be charged for the state lots. The
capital commission is inclined to fix
the price at $40 a front foot, on the
average, while the real estate men of
Oklahoma City declare that this is
away below the average value of SUI
burban property at Oklahoma City.
The present plans of the commission
contemplate the laying out of an I'M
.mense boulevard four miles long, lead
ing to the proposed capitol site. Lots
on this boulevard are to sell at about
