TALK WITH JOHNNIE BAKER
Skilled Mnrkmnnn ( llnffnlo Hilt's
Hliovr Iletntea Interesting: In
cidents nt III Career.
Johnnie Daker, whose skill as a marks
man has delighted thousands who have
seen his exhibitions In "Buffalo Bill's Wild
West" show, was In Omaha Saturday, the
guest of Colonel "Bill" McCune. Mr.
Baker was enroute from his home In New
York City to Cheyenne, where he was
called to consult with Colonel W. V.
Cody.
"It always does me good to get back Into
Nebraska," aid Mr. Baker. "I wai born
and reared In this atnto and whenever I
got Insldo Its boundaries I feel at home.
Now York Is alt right, but for n man
who has been used to tho freedom of west
ern plains, thero Is nothing that appeals
to him like the dollghtful sensation of
being away from where thousands are
cooped up In a space largo enough only
lor a hundred or so."
Baker Is nn enthusiastic sportsman, but.
strango to say, cares llttlo for shooting.
His chief Interest centers In exhibitions
ot tho pugilistic arena.
"Kvcrythlng Is dull In New York now."
he said. "The doom of prize fighting seems
tp be sealed and I, for one, am sorry. I
believe that tho death ot tho gamo Is di
rectly attributed to the Jobbery which has
been Indulged In so extensively. For a tlmo
every sporting man was suspicious of
any event that came off, and since the sport
couldn't bo conducted In n legltlmato man
ner It Isn't to bo wonderod at that It was
wiped oft the slate. Thero was little Inter
est In Now York over tho Jeffrlrs-Buhlln
fight. It was tho general Impression that
the fight would be held and sporting men
wero certain that Jeffries would havo n
walkaway. Thero was no Iluhlln money
to bo found.
"Do I over do any trap shooting? No,
I .never touch my gun from tho tlmo one
season ends until tho noxt begins. Giving
exhibitions In shooting twlco a day for six
months supplies mo with all tho shooting 1
want during my vocation. I don't llko the
sight of a gun. Some people wonder that
I do not have to do any practicing, but
It's n fact that I never do.
"It's a leng tlmo slnco I started on my
career with Colonel Cody and I've been In
the business for so many years that I'vo
cut out the 'Master' which Colonel Cody
used to prefix to my namo In tho show an
nouncements. The way I hnppcncd to dis
continue the use of this prefix was tho
result of a funny little Incident. I've got
two of tho sweetest llttlo girls on earth
6 lind 7 years old. Over In Madison Square
garden a couple of years ago during one of
our performances I failed twlco In attempt
ing n particularly dlfllcult shot and I wns
becoming visibly agitated. Just as I wns
starting on tho third trial a shrill little
voice floated' down to mo from the reserved
seat section: 'Papa, what Is the matter
with you?' Thousands of peoplo heard It
and they cheered mo to the echo when I
made tho shot on the next trial, but after
that I never used tho .'Master,' and It's just
plain 'Johnnlo' Baker now."

Richardson of Laurel Springs, N. C, "I

BUCK KEITH STEPS OUT
"Papa Bill" Rourke Becomes "it" In Omaha
But Ball Toam.
PRACTICALLY SOLE OWNER OF PROPERTY
Itc-llrcnicnt nf ICrllli Is Dun tit Multi
plicity or Oilier Ilimlnrii Affair
Ituurkr In to Di-mle Ills
Time Kxelusl vrly.
William Rourke has purchased the In
terest of Buchanan Keith In the Omahu
baso ball team and now becomes practically
solo owner ot the franchise and plant.
This news will not bo altogether a sur
prise, for It Is well known that Keith's
other Interests have been such that ho could
not give tho tlmo to baso ball that ho
deemed necessary without neglecting his
other affairs, while Mr. Rourke expects to
entor base ball exclusively. Thero has
been no Difference of opinion between tho
former partners. They simply agreed that
It was better for their own Interests to
mako the deal, and It waa done.
"Papa Bill" Rourke Is'one of the old lino
ball players and managers and lias a stand
ing in tho affairs ot the gamo that Is n
good guaranty of his ability. Ho will lose
none of his Omaha friends by tho transfer
that has Just been made Tho retirement
of Buck Keith will cost the leaguo a
unique figure In Its affairs and his merry
good naturo nnd peculiar tnslstenco on
what ho held to bo his rights will be missed
by magnate and player alike.
Ilonl Witnessed by Hlckcy.
President T. J. Hlckcy of tho Western
leaguo wns a witness to the transaction
whereby Mr. Rourko secured Bole control of
tho Omaha club. President Hlckcy arrived
In th city yesterday morning from Pueblo
nnd left In tho afternoon for Sioux City.
Ho expressed himself as much pleased with
tho buslnoss-llko way In which the Im
portant transaction was cloacd and compli
mented tho retiring president for hln sagac
ity In disposing ot his Interest In the club
rather than permit cither baso ball or his
other business nffalrs suffer because ot
lack of tlmo to dovotc to nil ot his enter
prises. "Under tho Joint management of Mr.
Keith nnd Mr. Rourke baso ball was a great
success In Omaha last season," said Presi
dent Hlckcy. "This much Is known to all
local ball enthusiasts nnd It Is a fact also
that baso ball men tho country over give
Omaha great credit for tho activity dis
played In tho game and the hearty patron
age necorded last year's team. Omaha la
now considered ono of thn best baso ball
cities In tho cntlro mlddlo west nnd In
my opinion no league can bo organized too
fast for Omaha. I bcllcvo tho n flairs ot
tho local club will flourish under Mr.
Rourkc'a direction. I nm sorry to soo Mr.
Keith get out of tho league. Ho was most
acttvo In lis organization and ccrtnlnly de
served most richly tho success he attained
last year."
I'tieliln l Out of It.
President Hlckey announced positively
while In tho city that Puoblo Is out ot tho
raco for n place In tho Western league cir
cuit this year. The baso ball contingent In
tho smelter city rofused to come to tho
front with n sultablo ball field adjacent to
tho business portion at tho city and ns
that was a condition precedent to recogni
tion, of tho city's claims for a place In the
leaguo everything has been declared off so
far aft Pueblo Is concerned.
Another city, however, has entered the
lists against Sioux City for tho eighth
placo In tho league. Colorado Springs Is a
candidate for a franchise and stands about
an even break with Sioux City for the place.
"There Is a great deal of baso ball enthu
siasm In tho Colorado summer resort,"
said Presldont Hlckey, "and Influential bus
iness men havo pressed me to consider tho
claims of that city. It Is a fact that Colo
rado Springs during tho summer tlmo has
a population plenty largo enough to Justify
tho bollcf that baso ball would bo a success
thero. Inducements have been offered In
the way of grounds and a bonus and I havo
taken tho matter under advisement. I
havo all along looked with a good deal of
favor on Sioux City's claims. With a now
ball park tho patronage would bo much
larger than It was last year and there Is
no reason why tho gamo should not bo suc
cessful thero this season. I will ho pre
pared to announco In a very few days the
eighth club In tbo circuit and It will be
either Sioux City or Colorado Springs."
COLEMAN'S BIG UNDERTAKING
I.ocnl 'Wrrstllntr Instructor Agreei to
ThroTV Frank flrcensuan Tliree
Tlmea Within an Hour.
Frank Coleman, the champion wrestler of
tho middle west, who recently returned
from nn extended western trip to take) the
position of instructor ut tho Iloblmton
Loch gymnasium, will meet Frnnk flreen
man, the Hercules of tho city flro depart
ment, In an unique match Home tlmo In the
nnr, future. By the terms of the nrtlcles
which havo nlready been drawn up and
signed by both men Coleman agrees to
throw Greenmnn three times within nn
hour and to ovoid being thrown himself.
Fniluro to do so will mean a forfeiture of
tho purso.
Whllo admitting Coleman's superior skill
as a wrestler local followers of the game
are a bit Inclined to believe that ho has
tackled a blgper Job than he will bo able to
accomplish. Tho only thing Oreenman will
have to do In order to win the mntfh will
be to kHn away from his opponent nnd
thero will likely be h great display of foot
work when the two men meet. If Coleman
succeed in throwing his opponent tliree
times In tho limited time agreed upon ho
will perform a. feat. Ills friends suy, worthy
of moro than piusliifr recognition.

hclmer claims ho won't have It, "don't
cher know." Nevertheless, Sherlock
Holmes arrives and will Investigate. Goo
glehelmer claims that Holmes will never
como out ot tho Investigation alive. Char
ley always was n dangerous man, "don't
cher know," but Sherlock knows his
"blzz."
Miss Cascarlnc, ati every ono will re
member, caused considerable excitement
sovcrnl months ago. Sho arrived In town
nnd posed ns n French countess. G0015I0
hctmcr met her at tho ball and promptly
fell In lovo. Miss Cascarlno realizing
that sho hail a good thing, led "Google
boy" to think that sho was dead In lovo
with him. Ono cool evening when tho
moon went down behind tho Wabash,
shedding Its silver rays on Googlchelraer
and tho countess, ho proposed to her. No
ono .knows whether alio nccepted or not,
but every ono does know that after that
night Googlchelmcr became a different
man. In the first placo, his face, which
waa always covered with pimples, became
as fair as any woman's; his breath, which
was always offensive, became ns Bwect as
tho lnccnso of a fresh budded rose; bo
beenmo lively nnd complained no moro of
his kidney trouble, which ho had Buffered
with tor years. Oh! Googlchelroer changed
mightily, I tell you, and why he changed
Is a mystery- which no one knows and
which Sherlbck Holmes Is Investigating.
Sherlock Holmes investigated the matter,
and after weighing all the facts carefully,
decided, that Googlehelmcr'a secret Bhould
bo mado known to every man, woman and
child In the world. "In tho first place,"
said Sherlock, with a faint smllo of satisfac
tion on his sovore features, "Googlcholmer
became a now man, a changed man, a man
of life nnd vigor, by using Cascarlnc, the
great remedy which Miss Cascarlno advised
him to use. After Investigating his case
thoroughly I find Cascarlno cured him abso
lutely and I recommend It to every one."
Cascarlno cures absolutely all diseases of
tho bowels, liver, kidneys and stomach.
It Is a gontlo loxatlvo ot great merit. It
will not grlpo nny one and Is recom
mended and prescribed by many physicians
who know Its worth.

injure your otomach nnd make you sick.

laxative tonic. Best for mothers, fathers
and children.

Call It
Kidney Ache.
Omaha Cltizebs Can Tell You Why.
May ns well cull things by their right name. It
Is backache, to be sure but the kidneys are to
blame. Too much of a strain on the little lilters
of the blood. They can't take the uric acid out
of the blood that's where the trouble begins
You know tho rest; backache, headache urinary
troubles, diabetes aoid then, Bright's Disease.
DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS
are the remedy. Cure kidney troubles of any
kind. Are doing it right here in Omaha every
day. Omaha people say so. Here in the case of
Mr. David Moncrleff, 3100 South Thirty-third street, who says:
"For ton or twelve years I suffered from pains over my hips and
across the small ot my back. I am 70 yoara ot age, and having
bad this trouble so long, It no doubt was a stubborn case to
cure. I took treatment from doctors and different kinds of pat
jnt medicines, but while some gave me temporary relief, nothing
relieved me permanently unttl I procured Down's Kidney Pills
at Kuhn's Drug store. After taw days' treatment I felt a bene
fit and the remedy did more for me than any other medicine t
ever used. I can cheerfully recommend Doaa'a Pills aa being up
to representations." '
