Season 1 Be Better
Thaa Ever.
This next week I commence tending out
transportation to my base ball players,"
aid W. A- Rourke iaat night. "80 they
will begin to arrive very toon now, and I
ball have the entire squad here by April
1, when the systematic work start. Every
nan whom I announced on my roster will
tie here.
"Already four of my men are on the
ground and are practicing daily. They are
Arthur Hayes, the catcher, Dave Calhoun,
Drat baseman, Joe Dotan, shortstop, and
Johnny Gooding, catcher. With tbem Tom
McAndrews, who has signed with Milwau
kee this year, and Freeland of the New
Orleana team, are also working out till they
Jeave.
"The boys have been at It for about'
two weeks now, and are getting a fine start
n condition. They spend the entire aft
ernoon at the grounds, and practice for
'two or three hours at an easy gait. They
Set a gang of kids and bat flies to tbem,
and then have eomeone throw while they
practice bitting, with the kids to chase the
ball. All of tbem wear their base ball
suits and they get right Into the game.
They are getting a good sweat out every
day and that Is a good thing for them.
'Already Cal la beginning to peel off a little
"of his weight.
"The very seat of all a man's trouble
,in getting lntd shape In the spring Is bis
!atomach. There comes In the most diffi
culty. After loafing or leading a sedentary
life all winter It Is a mighty careful and
serious matter not to hurt your stomach
when you first get out. The muscles that
retain It are all relaxed and feuble, and they
need very gradual strengthening. Till that
la done a man cannot run much, for it
catches him right there.
1 "I bave made a good many Improvements
Vm my grounds already. I have acattered
Ave carloads of cinders under the grand
atand and around outside, In both of which
places It waa so wet last year. This will
make a dry footing. To get still better re
mits I have put in two big drainage ditches,
one under the grandstand and the other
under the bleachers to the north. These
will tend to bring the surface wash In
rainy times all together In one ditch, pre
venting R from flowing off Indiscriminately
nd scattering around promiscuously aa be
fore. "My diamond will be a different affair
thla year from last. I am only waiting for
the frost to leave the ground before I fill
It all In a little, In order to make a per
fect drainage from it. Instead of sinking
In from the sldea like a catchbaaln. It
will now have a very slight slope toward the
edges from the center, and will thus dry
Immediately and be alwaya In good shape.
"I have been working hard on the sched
ule the last few days. With my team I
ahall cling to the time-honored practice of
starting the season with the Originals, and
have arranged for two games with that
club here on April 6 and 6."

Defeat English Players After Two
Daya of Hard Work for
Newnes Cap.
NEW YORK. March 15. After two davs
of hard fighting the American chess team
vanquished the British team toniaht. thla
being the seventh of the International series
of matches for the Newnes cup. America
won five and a half games and Qreat
Britain four and a half.
The distinction of achieving the first vic
tory fell to the Englishmen bv virtue of
Trenchard's brilliant defeat of Delmar on
board 7. Almost simultaneously the news
came that the amateur, Atkins, had low
ered the colors of Marshall. This was a
hard blow, as the Brooklyn Chess clnh
had relied on Marshall and Plllsbury win
ning their respective games. At that time
the outlook was that the match would be
lost. Hymes was then In difficulty and
Volgt appeared to be beaten. The former,
however, soon extricated himself and ac
cented a draw. Volgt also redeemed him
self, the game being eventually drawn.
ror a long time anerward the acore re
mained at I to 1 In favor of Eneland. tho
solitary win for the American side having
oeen acnievea later on me last DOard by
Holmes. Plllabury waa unable to make
any headway against Lawrence and had
to be satisfied with a draw. Barry made a
areat effort to win. but could not da mn
and finally accepted the offered draw.
After the agreement of the contending
parties the remaining games remained as
stated above and the victory belonged to
ine Americana.

If there is any disease entitled to such a
distinction it Is certainly dyspepsia. It is
safe to say that not one person In ten enjoys
the blessings of perfect digestion, strange
though it mar seem. Why is this
Digestion is glow process by which
nature transforms the food into a state
suitable for nourishment for the body. The
time required varies from one to six hours
or more, according to- the food. In the
hurry, worry and hustle, thestriTlnglorthe
almighty dollar, the 20th century American
falls to give proper heed to nature's de
mands upon his time. He gets up In the
morning, bolts his breakfast without half
chewing It, washes it down with hot coffee
or other liquid and rushes off to bis business.
At noon, it's rush home or to the lunch
counter, eat his lunch hastily while fatigued
and out of breath, then rusb back to busi
ness. One of the greatest essentials to pro
per digestion is the mastication or chewing
of food, to thoroughly mix It with sallta. If
this is not done, the food passes into the
stomach in a condition which does not per

ONE OF A VANISHING TYPE
Joe Deason Was a True Son of the
Southwest Frontier.
LONG CAREER OF LIVELY ADVENTURE
Cewbor nnd Texns Ranger, lie Finally
Turns Gambler nnd Geod Fel
low nnd Dies Quietly
Among- Friends.
When Tim tapped Joe Deason on the
shoulder, saying, 'The game la over; turn
out the lights,' he closed the career of a
man who was typical of a class that made
the liveliest kind of history on tbe south
west frontier," said "Bob" Cumlngs, the
well known local aport, who haa had aome
Texan axperlencea of hla own, while re
ferring to Demon's recent audden death
from a paralytic atroke. "Joe waa closely
associated with aome of tha most daring
and reckless men in Texaa," continued
Cumlngs, "and this association could be es
tablished and maintained only by men who
did not know what the word fear meant,
and who knew how to handle a gun more
quickly than the other fellow. Those who
lacked nerve and wboae Judgment when to
shoot waa not on a hair trigger died with
their boots on very early In their career.
Joe'a early training was with a gang of the
widest young fellows that ever 'busted tha
Indian Nation aquare open,' and with thla
performance a man waa considered to have
taken hla degree among tbe cowboys or mat
time.
Wkere tbe Own Fighter Flourished.
Thla waa about tha time when the rail
road first reached Abilene, Kan., after
which tha cattlemen began trailing berda
up through Indian Territory. What thla
meant may be understood from the fact
that in 187 there waa a drive of 500,000
head of cattle to Kansas, making a trail
one mile wide and 1,600 miles long, the
greatest on record. Joo made a number of
those drives, became accuatomed to the
hardship and dangers, to the wild scenes of
drinking and gambling, and well known
among the toughest element in all Texas.
Among these were Phil Coe. 'Wild Bill'
Hlckok. one time marshal or Abilene, wno
killed Coe; Luke Short, a noted gun fighter
and one of tha famoua Dodge City Peace
commissioners; Ben Thompson, once mar
shal of Austin, who killed seventeen white
men, besides a long unrecorded list or
Mexicans and 'niggers,' and who waa cele
brated becauae be never missed or wounded
a man: Billy 81ms of Ban Antonio, who got
the drop on Thompson and ended his career.
and who ahot Will Raynor, another frontier
aport, at El Paao. Thompson waa famil
iarly called the 'Lion of the Boutn- ana
probably tha most celebrated gun fighter of
hla time.
"It waa about tbla period that Deason
made himself known aa a gun expert. Joe
was auch a good-natured, jolly fellow that
aome of the toughs thought ha would be
an easy mark. 'Six-Shooter Frank,' a
notorious tough, selected Joe as an easy
thing in poker. Notwithstanding "Slx-
Sooter Frank' waa aa expert card manipu
lator. Joo beat him at every turn and tbe
latter aaw that hla only chance to get ahead
of Joe wan to start a fight and do aoma
shooting. Waiting until a big pot waa on
tha table. 'Six-Shooter Frank,' claiming a
mistake had been made, started to pull his
gun, but Deason'a training with men Ilka
Ben Thompson came into play and like a
flash bo covered his man, made htm throw
up bla hands, apologise and abjectly promise
to ever after be so good tnat nis oia ac
quaintances wouldn't recognise him. Frank
waa guyed unmercifully and left town. Joe
waa never taken for an easy mark again.
He had established himself.
Life n Round of Hustle.
In the early 70' s a lot of wild young fel-
lowa, who then and aver after refused to
take a serious 'view of anything except
to maintain a reputation for daring and
fearlessness, weat about tbe country and
became known aa the Sam Baas gang. They
were all members of excellent families
wsll educated and good fellows, as tha
phrase vas thea unltntood. Joe became

of these Jnlef s. With the body fatigued
and continually in action, tbe blood is drawn
away from the digestive organs, hence the
digestive fluids cannot be supplied. Natur
ally this leaves a lot of undigested food in
the stomach that Is not only useless but
harmful. Now what is to be done?
It must be digested. A little stimulant
might help it temporarily, but that makes
the next meal still more difficult to digest,
as it draws on the digestive Juices unnatur
ally and soon exhausts them. The only cor
rect, common sense way of treating these
cases is to furnish a substitute, which must,
in order to be effectual, contain exactly the
same elements in exactly the same propor
tions as the natural digestive fluids.
The one preparation which can be abso
lutely proven to meet these requirements Is
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It is not an experi
ment at your expense but the result of ex
periments at our expense. It is not a mere
stimulant to aid digestion, but la itself a
combination of all the dlgestanU and actu
ally digests the food by its own individual
powers of action without any aid whatever
from the digestive organs. It will digest
food even in a bottle under proper condi
tions, temperature, etc., so it certainly
can't help having the same action in tbe
stomach.

Casual raids on Indian cattle were not then

harassed aettlera all along the frontier.

Birth of Texas Rangers.
In 1876 cattle stealing became such
nuisance that Richard King, long known as
the cattle king of America, whose private
range along the Nueces river and Santa
Gertrude ranch was seventy-five miles long
and twenty-five miles wide; Colonel Eugene
Millet, James F. Ellyson of San Marcos,
W. B. Mines of Tree Palacios, Matagorda
county, and other leading cattlemen,
aroused by the only partially restrained
lawlessness of a gang of horse thieves un
der the leadership of Ada MUdy and BUI
Brooking, and another led by Wes Hardin
and King Fleher, determined to bring
about a reform. They aecured a state ap
propriation of $10,000 for two yeara. and
the famoua Texas Rangera were reorganised.
At this time many of tbe judges in . the
courts were more or less in league with
the bandits, and many sheriffs owed their
election to them and their friends. This
condition of affaire made it Impossible, or
extremely difficult to secure convictions
and the cattlemen concluded to wipe out
the cattle thieves. This movement opened
wide the door to Bass and his followers
for new adventurea. Joe Deason and
many of the most prominent and well con
nected young men of the state Joined and
It waa recognised far and wide as a badge
of distinction to be a Texaa Ranger. Cap
tain Lea Hall, Joseph Shely and Captain
McNally were among the active leadera.
The rendesvoua of the thieves waa in the
dense timber along the Guadalupe and San
Antonio rlvera. Thess bands of thieves
were made up of the most desperate char
acters on the frontier. Partly because of
fear and partly because many of tha aet
tlera were secretly outlaws themselves, tbe
cattle thieves had friends scattered all
over the country and were able to evade
the Rangera for a long time. They made
short work of a aettler who did not favor
them. Tbe rule of ths Rangers was that
for every white man killed four Mexicans
or twelve 'alggera' waa considered an
equivalent, and outlawry generally waa
punished on that baals.

about the work of running down these
thieves. It waa a long and desperate fight.
but both of the leaders, Ada MUdy and BUI
Brooking were killed, Mildy being taken
from a alck bed, hanged and riddled with

train robber and waa killed by a Southern

studies and went to Dennison, Tex., and
opened a gambling house. Dennison waa
an Ideal frontier railroad town, with danco
balls, all-night saloons, gambling of every
description, and became the resort of the
toughest elements of tbe southwest. In

Gentlemen: 1 wish to inform the publla
that I have been onstant sufferer from
the pangs of dyspepsia and indigestion for
forty years during which time I nave given
almost every medicine a trial in different
forms, such aa the dyspepsia tablets especi

Kodol Dyspepsia Cure has. I have used
only two bottles as yet and feel sure the
third bottle will cure me of the disease I

aa a story teller made him a central figure
wherever he went. A cattleman handed
Joe a $5 bill to aet up the drinks. 'Watt a
moment,' said Joe, and he walked across
the room to a monte game, placed the bill
on the queen, saying, 'A woman never falls
a man when he la In bad luck,' and In half
an hour he had won $320 and before the next
morning he had over $2,000 In pocket that
.were empty of coin a few hours before.

him to make a match with the owner of n
game cock and he put up $100 aa a forfeit.
I then started out to find a rooster,' said
Joe, relating the story, 'and couldn't get
a bird anywhere that wasn't engaged. I
went down town and picked out the biggest
Shanghai rooster I ever aaw from a coop in

an expert man to handle my bird. He
rigged the big fellow up with gaffs. I put
up another $100 and that old Shanghai made
a blundering Jump and acratched a win for
me, killing the other bird in lesa time than

"This country will never again see men
