Apparently the local base ball manlpu-
lators have inoculated the war fever
from reading the matter ehronieled rela-
tive to how people in Europe are
spreading death and destruction and
shaking the foundation OF the business
world. If they don't stop their fighting
on the local sand lots, it is evident they
will not only shake. but ruin the inter

The fans have been entertained along
the pugilistic lines at Fort Omaha, and
the party in charge of the grounds has
informed President Isaacson OF the
