as to admit of It It Is a pretty safe
Ramble that a good bunch of the prize
money comes to Omaha.
Instead of growing dusty for lack of tise,
the bowling alleys, wlich, by the way. are
always heated In Omsha, had their usual
patronage. Of course, the main topic" of
conversation was the game of freeaeout
that had taken place at Cleveland the
week before, and many things were re
ported concerning It that were not printed
In the papers, and If they are true, as the
Omaha bowlers who were there vouch for,
ft Is little wonder that the tournament was
worse than a fizzle and a losing venture
for bowlers and promoters as well.' The
local fraternity some of whom were In
clined to think that the Omaha men had
cold feet because they did not get pert to
any of the fancy prizes, have changed their
minds, In view of fhe fnrts, and the man
agement of the big meet Is getting a flgura
. tlve good, warm roast that all of the
bowlers would have been delighted to get
a liberal share of while In Cleveland.
There were ten alleys In the armory where
the matches were rolled and the means
was at hand to have warmed the place
sufficiently for the comfort of participants
and onlookers alike had It not been for the
get-rlch-qulck Ideas of the management.
A holler, used ordinarily to heat the place,
was pot used because It would cost 150
more than the stoves that were provided.
The result that after the first night, when
everybody shivered through the program,
there was no attendance Bave those who
were there to take part; and they had to
wear their overcoats and blow their fin
gers between frames. It was so cold that
the shellac put on the alleys would not
allow a fast ball. Then there were long
waits and delays that were altogether un
necessary, and altogether the affair was
a mess. But this Is not the worst of It.
It la charged by some of tho Omaha men
that the scoring was not on the level. The
figuring was done, not on sheets on the
wall, where everybody eould see, but by
men employed by the management and In
little books held upon their respective
knees. The errors may have been due to
mistake or accident, but one or two of
the Omaha contingent claim to have scored
certain games on their own account. In
which they were not otherwise Interested,
and to have found a wide discrepancy In
the cores so kept and those returned by
the official scorers. When the national
event Is held In Omaha well, Just notice
the difference. In the way things are con
ducted. Raymond Cornwell of this city, well
known In athletic circle and particularly
for his sur playing In foot ball at left
halfback, Is up in arms over a dispatch
from Bollevue and printed in Friday morn
ing's papers to the effect that Bellevue
would not play In the Omaha Business
college's yard any more,- because the lat
ter used Cornwell in a game with Bellevue
last fall, Cornwell being a professional.
"1 am not a professional," said Cornwell,
"and never have been. I was engaged to
coach the Omaha eleven and under the clr
cumstancra of being with them had a
perfect right to play and they had a per
feet right to play me If they saw fit. This
report of professionalism Is a distinct dam
age to me, for I want to go to 8t Louis
and play, later on, as an amateur and I
want the report disputed good and hard."
The members of the Omaha Gun club
who will go to Seneca, Kan., next month
to take part in the mid-winter shoot to be
held at that place, are burning no end
of powder these days In an effort to be able
to hurry the top notchers who will surely
be there. Among those who ha,ve made

A. J. Christie, formerly golf professional
at the Ilomewood Country club of Chicago,
has been engaged to engineer the playing
and players of the Country club of this
city for the coming season. Christie Is one
of the best ever In his particular game.
and is at present in New Orleans, where
he Is doing exhibition games with such
sharps as Iiarry Turplo and Alexander
Baxter. After he has done his stunt In
the Crescent City he will go to Florida
and make a general tour of the links of
the southern states before beginning the
struggle here., It is expected that he will
arrive In Omaha In time to supervise the
changes and Improvements that the Coun
try club contemplates making in Its course
before the season's work begins in good
earnest. Of course, the club is quite chesty
over having secured Christie, and It Is be
lieved much Improvement will be noted In
the game of the members before snow flies
again, due, cf course, to his knowledge and
skyi in the finer points of the game.
The United States Golf association held
its annual meeting and yearly blowout at
Delmonlco's In New Yo:k the past week,
and besides having a big feed and swell
social time, did some business. The most
important thing was the changing of the
rule of the game from match play to the
American combination system of medal
and match play, the two combining, In the
minds of a large majority of all the cracks
there, the only real test of championship
golf. Then they laid out the championship
courses for the year and elected officers
and did other things too numerous to men
tion, that nobody would care about If they
were mentioned, and that do not amount
to anything the best way It can be fixed.
But the change In the playing rules, while
It will affect Omaha players and playing
but very little, one way or the other, Is
generally approved by the local cranks.
Speaking of cranks, it is a fact that several
well known men of this town had a quiet
tittle game last Sunday not so far without
the limits of the city. Just think of being
so enamoured of any game, save draw
poker, as that It was colder than well, It
was colder than It probably will be again
until next winter, but It did not spoil the
fun by any manner of means. And what Is
more. It would notbe at all surprising if
there was another little game on over the
same ground again today.
The rumor that the Omaha Roadsters'
club la to purchase Tuthill's half-mile track
and put It in shape for some star perform
ances the coming summer waxes more and
mors persistent, though the time Is evi
dently not ripe for those who could do so to
affirm or deny it. But the gossipy little
straws that blow In the wind are so much
In evidence that they almost assure it.
For Instance, a half dozen or more of new
fast ones have been bought and have been
or will shortly be brought to Omaha, and
horses, too, that can give an account of
themselves on the track. Arthur Brandels
has added several head of fancy stock to
his possessions In this Ifns that It is ex
pected by the knowtng ones will be well
up In the front line hers and elsewhere this
summer. Tom Burns got one at the New
York horse show that Is a goer, according
to all report, and Charlie Lewis picked up
a 2:09 pacer somewhere In Iowa the other
day. And there are others that have pot
been unblanketed yet, some with marks
way down under the 'teens and some
youngsters that great things sre expected
of. One of the best known racing men in
the city Is authority for the statement
that the coming summer will see more and
better sport in both trotting and running
races than the city has ever had before.
Huntera hereabouts say that the coming
seaeon will be unusually early owing to the
lack of snow, and a variety of other rea
sons. Even now ducks are beginning to
put In an appearance fifty miles to the
south of here arid hurry-up orders for am
munition are being received dally by local
sporting goods hotises. In spite of the cold
there Is open water and lots of It no far
ther away than Florence, all of which
promises rare sport for the man behind the
gun.

February 22 the Westerns and Woodmen

On the 24th the Black's Kats and Lentz A
Williams teams will get together.
Base ball matters have assumed that
outward calm that necessarily follows the
winter adjustment of all disputes as to
circuits and the like, and the only thing
thnt ruffles the managerial mind Just now
Is the Ic.ggard way in which players are
returning their contracts for the season.
"We can afford to wait," says Papa Bill
Rourke. "for we know the boys will all
come in on time. Each has to have his
little kick, And when he has made that he
will take his salary and go to work."
Rourke Is not making any sweeping cuts
In salary, hut he Isn't granting any enor
mous Increases, either. Gonding, Carter
and Lieberthal have all returned their
contracts for the season, duly signed, and
the rest are Just cogitating. It will be
nearly six weeks' before they will be here
to play, so that the present delay Is not
serious. The reserve rule and the settle
ment of the coast trouble makes It cer
tain that the contracts will be signed In
time. The Western lengue schedule com
mittee meets March 12, and that will be
the next thing of Importance In our
league. The announcement during the
week from Colorado Springs that
Percy Chamberlain had bought the
St. Joe franchise caused neither
surprise or uneasiness here. If It were
given out that Percy had bought the
Stratton's Independence, or the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad, It would not startle
anyone In the Missouri river valley, where
we have come to know and love Percy for
his many quaint little ways. In the
meantime, the Van Brunt name will still
appear at the bottom of the St. Joe pay
checks, and that is a pretty good way to
Judge of the ownership of the team.

"I'll bet," said the playwright, "If we
could find an unpublished play of Shakes
peare's and produce It, the critics would
roast the show Just the same.
"Of course," replied the manager, "and
they'd prove their case, too,"
"How could they do thatT" asked the
playwright "We'd surely bave the laugh
on them when the facta were known.
' I guess you don't know the critics," re
turned the manager. "They might roast
the play first, but when they found it was
a Shakespeare piece, they'd simply say that
the acting had so ruined It that It was be
yond recognition. Oh, they'll get us going
or coming; we can't get away from It."

As) American Commander's Thrilling
Acconnt of a Naval FlttM Near
Port Arthir In tae Ctilno
Japanese War.
The attack on Port Arthur snd the fierce
naval engagement following it recnlls the
sea fight of Hal Tang, better known as
the battle of the Yalu, fought September
1", 1831, and In which the Japanese, after
five hours of continuous fighting, succeeded
In sinking three of the Chinese ships, two
cruisers and an Ironclad, and In setting on
fire three more the Ting Yuen, the Lai
Yuen and the Kwang Chla.
In view of the fact that history seems
to have repeated Itself in more than one
particular In the recent batle, it Is Inter
esting to read the account of the Hal Yang
engagement, as related by Commander
Phllo N. Griffin, the American officer In
command of the Chinese Ironclad Chen
Yuen at the time.
The opposing forces consisted of twelve
hips on the Japanese side One a small
gunboat and another a converted mer
chantmanand of twelve ships on the
Chinese side two Ironclads, two armored
cruisers, two protected cruisers, two tor
pedo cruisers, two Armstrong cruisers, a
coast defense ship and a corvette.
"Monday, the memorable 17th of Sep
tember, was a beautiful day," says Com
mander Medrlffln In his account of the
day's events; "a light breeze gently ruf
fled the surface ef the water. The fore
noon passed as usual. At 9:15 each ship
went to general quarters, cleared for ac
tion, and for an hour exercised the crews
at the guns, no one dreaming that the
results of our training were so soon to be
tested.
Ready for Business.
"When the bugles sounded action but
little remained to be done save to lower
tn the deck the ventilators or wind sails,
to close the scuttles, water-tight doors,
etc., and go to stations. The Chen Yuen's
forenoon routine had been carried out
and the cooks were preparing the mid
day meal when the smoke from the ene
my's rhlps was sighted by the lookout
men at the masthead; and before even
a signal could be made from the flagship
the bugles throughout the fleet were sound
ing merrily the "officers' call and 'action.'
"In far less time than It takes to read
these lines, signals had been made from
the Ting Yuen to 'weigh immediately,"
and never were cables shortened In and
anchors weighed more speedily. The old
Chao Yung and Yang Wei, being always
longer In weighing anchor, were left
astern. As the two fleets approached each
other, officers and men eagerly strained
their eyes towards the magnificent fleet
of their country's herlditary foe, and on
all sides there wers animation and confi
dence. "The Japanese formed Into two squad
rons, a flying squadron of four ships and
a principal squadron of six ships, with a
gunboat and a converted merchantman
inside.
"The twenty-four ships, trim and fresh
In their paint and their bright new bunt
ing, and gay with fluttering signal flags,
presented such a holiday aspect that one
found difficulty In realizing that they were
not there simply for a friendly meetlnp.
On the Chen Yuen dark-skinned men with
queues tightly colled around their heads
and with .arms bared to the elbow, clus
tered along the decks in groups at the
guns, waiting impatiently. Sand was
sprinkled on the decks, and more was
kept handy against the time when they
might become slippery. Here and there
a man lay flat on deck with, a charge of
powder In his arms waiting to spring tip
and pass It on when It would be wanted.
Closing; In.
"Ths fleets closed on, each other rapidly.
My crew was silent The sub-lieutenant
in the military foretop was taking sextant
angles and announcing the range. As each
range was called the men at the guns
would lower the sight bars, each gun cap
tain, lanyard In hand, keeping his gun
trained on the enemy. Through the ven
tilators could be heard the beats of steam
pumps, for all the lines of hose were
joined up and spouting water, so that In
case of fire no time would be lost. The
range was about four miles snd decreas
ing fast. 'Six thousand meters.' 'Five
thousand eight hundred.' Six hundred.'
'Five hundred.' Five thousand four hun
dred.' "Th crista was rapidly approaching.
Every man's nerves were tn a state of
tension, which was greatly relieved as a
huge cloud of white smoke belching from
ths Ting Yuen's starboard barbette 'opened
the ball.'
"Just as ths projectiles threw up a col
umn of white water a little short of the
Yoshlno, a roar from the Chen Yuen's
battery seconded the flagship's motion. It
was exactly 12:30 sv-m., and the range as
found on the Chen Yuen was 6.200 meters.
On our side the firing now became gen
eral from the main batteries, but it was
about five minutes before ths Ja panes
replied.
"As they opened flre the Chinese qulc.k
flrlng Hotchklss and Maxlm-Nordenfelt
three and six pounders joined In, and
thenceforward the conflict was almost In
cessant, Like ours, the enemy's first shot
fell short; but with an exultant chuckle
we noted that a shot from on of our
twelve-Inch guns had struck one of the
Japanese leading ships. The bridge of the
Chen Yeun, although some thirty feet
above the water was very soon soaked,
as was indeed the entire exposed surface
of the engaged side, by spray thrown up
by the line shots that struck the water a
little short. Many of the men at the guns
were wet through. Every one In the con
ning tower had his ears stopped with cot
ton, yet the din made by projectiles
rattling up against the outside of its Un
lnch armor was a serious annoyance.
Cold Feet.
"During the early part of the engage
ment the Tsi Yuen, with Its faint-hearted
commander, Fong, had bolted and made for
Port Arthur. Almost at once the out
rageous example of Captain Fong was fol
lowed by the commander of the Kwan
Chla, who turned tajl and later ran his
ship aground on a reef outside of Ta Lien
Wan.
"Our fleet was now reduced to eight ves
sels. As the Japanese fleet approached It
steamed along our front from left to right,
ths principal squadron at close rsnge, the
flying squadron further away. The latter
on reaching our right flank turned it and
poured in a heavy crock flre on the extreme
wing, the Chao Yung and Yang Wei re
ceiving most of It.
These two old-fashioned cruisers were
soon set on firs and rendered useless.
"As a forlorn hope the Ill-fated vessels
made for the nearest land, seeing which the
Japanese converted merchantman Falko
made for them. The batteries of the Iron
clads were trained on the SaJko, and two
Chinese torpedo boats that had been Inside
the Yalu river at the beginning of the en
gagement came out to the rescue of the
burning Chao Yung end Yang Wei, the
Salko then abandoning the pursuit.

OLD SORES
ULCERS
ABSCESSES
There is no better evidence of a bad condition of the blood and
unhealthy state of the system than a sore that won't heal, or a fester
ing, discharging Ulcer or Abscess. There are many ways by which
the blood may become contaminated and poisoned. A long spell of
malarial fever or other debilitating sickness, the excessive use of
mercury in certain diseases, inactive kidneys and torpid liver, expos
ure and lack of nourishing food, weaken the constitution and cause the system to become
congested with impurities which are taken up by the blood, and wherever the flesh is bruised
or scratched a festering sore or discharging ulcer begins-. A boil or blister, pimple or burn,
often develops into a frightful looking sore because of the unhealthy condition of the bloody
and the place will continue to grow and spread, finally reaching the bones and causing them to
decay unless the blood is purged and punned and the
system thoroughly cleansed of all morbid and unhealthy
accumulations. This cannot be done with washes, salves
and soaps, which only relieve the inflammation and afford
temporary relief from pain.
Such things neither make the blood any purer nor the
system any cleaner, and to depend upon them alone is
suicidal and senseless. The sore or ulcer is only a symp
tom, an outlet for the poisons circulating in the blood,
and as long as it remains impure the sore will never heal.
It may scab over and appear to be getting well, but a fresh
outpour of matter from the diseased blood starts it again,
and thus it goes on, sometimes for years, slowly sapping
away the life of the patient.
The only way 'to get rid of these disgusting evi
dences of impure blood is to remove the cause by
purifying the polluted blood, and nothing does this so
surely aud effectively as S. S. S. It drives out of the
circulation impurities and germs of every kind; and under
the tonic effect of this great remedy the general health
rapidly recuperates and broken-down constitutions are
built up and strength and vigor are restored to all parts of
the system. When S. S. S. gets into the circulation, impur
ities that have been clogging the blood and causing the old
sore or ulcer, are driven out through the natural channels
of the body, and the place begins to heal, the discharge
gradually ceases, new flesh forms and smooth, healthy
skin hides all signs of the painful, sickening sore.
S. S. S. is an entirely vegetable remedy, containing both
purifying and tonic properties, making it the ideal medicine
where the blood is out of order und the health undermined
by some previous ailment resulting in throuic sores, ulcers,
boils or abscesses.
A sore that does not heal promptly, no matter how small,
will bear watching. It is a sure indication of bad blood,
and may develop into something far more serious than a
common ulcer. It may be Cancer. Through our medical
department we are rendering valuable help to those afflicted with sores and ulcers of various
kinds. Write us, and our physicians will advise you without charge.

tion, Bave for three shots left in the guns."
Joke OB Johnson.
Senator Hanna rarely s tempted to per
petuate a Joke. One evening Tom John
son, who had Just been elected mayor of
Cleveland, espied Senator Hanna in a cor
ridor of the Waldorf-Astoria. Though
enemies politically, Hanna and Johnson
have long been warm friends, and as soon
as Johnson saw his fellow townsman he
rolled up to him with the salutation:
"Why, hello, Mark."
"Hello, Tom. When did you get In?"
"YeBterday. Came In on a little quiet
tour. Been down to Bay Ridge to see my
mothtr."
"How do you like your Job as mayor?"'
"First rate; first rate. All I have to do
is to talk."
"Then I know of no belter man for the
office than yourself, Tom."
