SPORTING GOSSIP OF THE WEEK
1.1st week there were only two men wlio ,
twr( absolutely mire Ihnt they would attend
the shoot to be held rt Scr.-c2, Knn.. the
flrrt of next month, but as Is usually the
case as the time draws near the Infection
Is spreading Jtid at least ten of the good
eyes will go down from here and take a
squint at the live Mrds and blue rocks. The
fwnaha team proper will be ma da up of
George Rogers. F. Jones. F. Beard. F.
Goodrich, W. D. Townend and Joe Dries
bark and If they don't make the other
five-men teams that will be there go along
orne then they will not handle their guns
the way they have been doing lately on
thrlr own grounds. Four, and probably
more, of the other members of the club
will go along to root for the Omahas and
to take part in the single-man events. The
Nebraska state tpam will consist of W. A.
Waddlngton of Beatrice, W. H. Illlan of
Albion, William Veach of Falls City, Uw
Reed of Ohlowa and Dan Bray of Columbus.
Vouch, It will be remembered, made the
best average of targrts over all competitors
at the recent mld-wlnter shoot In this c!ty
and he certainly went up against some
stirrer propositions than will be at the
Seneca meet. R, Klein, who won the purse
In the live bird nhoot here, hnx not yet de
cided to go, nor haa "Slim" Beverson, who
won the Coombs trophy In the shoot-off
with Ford of Iowa, but It la probable that
they may yet be prevailed upon to go.
Tha local Young Men's Christian associa
tion athletes are right on their toes these
days and nights, and It only takes a look
Into their gymnasium any hour of the
day.t after noon until 10 o'clock at night,
to preve the truth of their complaint that
tha quarters provided for them aro not a
third large enough. The bpys have en
thusiasm enough to fill the auditorium
when it Is built and there are more than
BOO of them fulling over each other In
bunches of loO or so at a time in a gym
nasium that isn't big enough to accommo
date thirty men and give each a chance to
get all that should be coming to hlm.
Classes are held every hour of the day
after 12 o'clock and each and every one Is
attended by all the embryo Sandows that
t can possibly tie accommodated, and while
the benefit that results Is not what It will
be when the new building Is completed, it
eops scores of the young men and boys
from being in worse places and certainly
does them no harm. The new gymnasium,
Its equipment and a thousand and one other
things concerning it are the only subjects
of conversation among them these days,
and It Is perfectly safe to assume that
they will hang by the old quarters end
their associations until the new gym. la
opened up, be it sooner or later. If a suit
able pluce can be found an out-of-doors
gymnasium will be fitted up this summer
and all the work done out of doors. That
thli Is a grand scheme every authority on
physical culture will attest, for good fresh
air and lots of It In ono of the main In
gredients of an athletic training. The pro
moters of this Idea have several lines to
the windward now with reference to a lo
cation, but have not met with much en
couragement so far. If any man with a
vacant field or wood lot or both wants the
rising generation, as exemplified In the
Young Men's Christian association, to rise
up mid call him blessed there Is an easy
and Instant way to accomplish the deal.
There is equipment enough In the present
gymnasium to outfit a much larger one,
could It be disposed of to good advantage,
as In a ten-acre lot for instance; and with
the sky for a roof the boys would wax so
strong before thewend of the summer that
thay, combined, would probably be able to
raise a monument to the man who should
provide them with the above mentioned
real estate. Anyhow, he would win their
undying gratitude and it wouldn't need to
cost hlm a cent.

The bowling interest keeps hiking right
along and If anything Is stronger than at
the first of the season. There are but nine
more games to be played to decide the
supremacy In the local leagues, which will
bring the finish well along to the last of
March. At this time no one of the teams
Is far enough In advance of the rest to
get particularly chesty over Its per cent,
The Omahas were the nearest to a safe
margin but they got some bad Jabs this
week thst put them back a number of
notches and they aren't saying much about
first place. If the scores that are put up
In practice games were to count in the
final round up the local tourftament would
be a record breaker, but unfortunately
that doesn't go. For Instance, J. H,
Hodges has recently put up three consecu
tive games that look like some fairy story,
but that are vouched for on good author
ity. In the first he made 267, In the next
he got only ten pins less, or 257, and In
the third pounded out 237, a total of 761
that makes the biggest Cleveland score
look like a minor. W. A. Chandler and C,
A. Zimmerman are tied for the big score
on Clark's alleys so far this month with
279, while King Denman holds the blue
ribbon of the week with a string of 269.
It Is not generally known, but there are
some women In Omaha Just as pronounced
alley fans as the men, and moreover, quite
as well able 'to put the bottle sticks Into
clear. Mrs. R. Grotte bowled four games
at Clark's and made 221, 214, 211 and 209,
and when some man comes along who
can put up a better four she will come
down and beat' this record. Almost as
good Is the work of Mrs. I. S. Hunter, who
kept them moving- at the gait of 208, 203,
219 and 203. Miss Gussle Lehman pushed
over 213 In a game and Mrs. J. A. Johnson
made 217, and there are several other
women who are up and above the 200 mark
by a good safe margin. Bortsch and
Huntington are out with a challenge to
play any two-man team In the state and
are so confident of winning Jhat they will
pin 1100 to their faith in their own abilities.
Evidently most of the other bowlers are
of the same opinion for as yet there has
been no Intimation of anybody reaching
for the money.

The conference of the magnates of the
National Association of Minor Base Ball
Leagues at which the settlement of the
California problem was presented adopted
the report of the conference committer,
and the coast league now becomes a party
to the natlqnal agreement. This ends the
war and Incidentally ends the war sal trie i.
Much loud complaint Is being heard among
the players as a result of the flash s ma la
In salaries, and if all the threats made are
carried out there will be le?s base ball
and more work on the section and in the
harvest ftald during the cnmlnj season than
ever before. Men who have not the ability
to earn 175 per month at any other occu
pation are turning up their noses at offers
of that much per week to play, base ball.
work that calls them to exert them olvis
not to exceed twenty hours a wek, I u lad
ing all practice. Mtny an ambilloui
youngster goes out after his day of toil
and plays harder than any prnfel inal,
and does It for the fun of the thing, so it
doesn't appear that the work of the lilrej
ball player is so strenuous. In some in
stances a star may becrme so popular that
he draws people to the grounds, ard he
generally ets nil that is coming to hint;
but the average of the men engaged In the
business are not so, m.ignotlc. One young
man with whom Papa Bill Rourke is try
ing to do business haa notified that amiable
magnate that unless he gets a substantial
raise over the figure offered him he will
take a Job firing on a railroad and let base
ball slide. As his maximum earnings on a
railroad will be considerably less than hxlf
what Is offered him, to play fall, and as
he will do more work In firing an engine
one round trip than he would In playing
ball for a month, the chances of his tak
ing what Rourke offers him may be easily
calculated. This is simply cited aV an In
stance of what the managers m et. If this
boy were un experienced, and seand
player, It might be different, but as he is
Just breaklitg into the game, his attitude
appears ridiculous. None of the magnates
are worried greatly over the threats of
the players to go back to the farm, ior i
the mines, or anything like that. Mr. Bill'
player gets his money too easily to let go,
and he knows the "war Is over," If he
doesn't care to admit it. Salaries are go
ing back to where they were before the
trouble began, and the owners are go ng
to get back some of the money they hive
sunk during the last three seasons.
During the week President Rourke snared
a couple more very promising youngsters.
One Is Rome Downs, who played second
with the Fort Bcott team of the Missouri
lea true las season. Down's hit .314 and
fielded .932 In that league, and Is gener
ally touted as a comer. His borne Is at
Neola, la. Rourke has been after him
ever since last fall, but was only successful
In coming to terms with the Fort Bcott
people last week. He paid their price and
gets the player. Another that looks like
a prise is Charley Brown, the crack pitcher
of the Iowa college team from Ames.
Brown pitched am game for 8t. Joe
against Denver at Denver In the fall of
1902 a4 won It. St. Joe tried to get him
last season, but he didn't care to take up
base ball then. Rourke thinks he is a good
man, and hopes to develop him Into a
star. Joe Dolan will very likely go to
Atlanta to play In the Southern league
this season. He has been offered a good
thing by that team, and will probably
take It. Jay Andrews, who la to manage
Sioux City, was In Omaha Tuesday, and
said he was getting together some good
men for his team. He has aevesal of
the coast players, and hopes to make a
good showing from the very start.
Unless all signs fall the coming summer
will see soma of the best matinee horse
racing, both harness and running. In
Omaha, that has been witnessed for many
a long day. The action that may be taken
by the Omaha Driving club at Its annual
meeting the first of next month will de
termine this In a large measure, for It is
probable that the matter of the purchase
of Tuthlll's half mile track will be settled
at this time. Mr. Tuthlll is very positive
in his avowal that he will not rent or lease
the track again and It Is doubtful if Omaha
horsemen will consent to see one of the
best courses in the country ploughed up or
devoted to other uses. It was on this track.
It will be remembered, that Croesus beat
tha world, and when later Lou Dillon
shaded hla mark Ketcham Is reported
to have said that he would bring his big
stallion back to Omaha and put him back
to the top notch. But without regard to
all this It Is hardly reasonable to figure
that with all the new fast ones that are
being and have been bought by Omaha
drivers the past few months, a place to
show them out is going to be passed up by
default. In the same connection, though. It
Is rather strange that Omaha hasn't got

TESTIMONY IN THE SHAFROTH CONTEST
How Women Voters Voted Karly and
Often, staffed Ballot Boxes and
Conspired Aaralnst the Intra;
rlty of dtlaenshlp.
Wben Congressman Shnfroth of Colorado
resigned his seat In the house of repre
sentatives the other day. admitting at the
same time that his election was prmwe'l
by fraud, public Interest naturally turned
to the sources of a scandal so glaring ns t
compel an open confession. Doubters had
some foundation for their doubts, Inasmuch
as Colorado Is the prize state of woman
suffrage, and the chief reason for giving
women the right to vote was the confident
t.cllef that their activities In olitlcal af
fairs would elevate-the ballot box and en
velop dtlaenshlp with un atmosphere of
righteousness. It reems, however, the bal
lot box has not been elevated to any grat
height, and the atmosphere of rlshteous
neas Is rarer than that on Tike's Peak.
PosHlbly the Shafroth case isiin isolated
Instance of feminine activity in crooked
political' work. Conceding that, it serves
to show the versntilitay of the sex and
their aptitude In catciiliifi on to the tricks
of professional heelers. ,'
According to the tcitin-.cny In thet Fhaf
roth case, summarized by the Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger,
the women not only voted fraudulently".
but stuffed ballot boxes, bought votes and
otherwise ran the election in an up-to-date
munncr. It Is also shuwn that tlie ma'U
llne allies of theao women In politic) bull
dozed and assaulted women flection ofH-
rclals and prevented women from vo.,n;r by
making tho polling places scenes wli.ch no
respectable woman would care to enlc:
The democrats had control of the election
machinery und committed the frauds. A
young woman named Alma Bcswlck seems
to have been the leader in the conspiracy.
Her name constantly appears in the testi
mony and she seems to be a young woman
of great Industry and i.iuenulty ami re
markable aptitude for politics. Thc'cnly
hint of her personal appearance In the evi
dence Is given by a witness who says that
she is '.'dark complexloned."
Scenes at the Polls.
One witness, Edwin V. Brake, deacrlbes
how a man named Owens and his wife
came to register.
"They stood from an hour to an hour
and a half up next the clerk," says Brake,
'and the lady was very courteous and nice,
and requested three or four different times
to be allowed to register. They repeatedly
put people in front of them crowded them
out. They would be up next the railing;
they would crowd them back; two or three
people would step in front of them. Finally
they got mad and went out."
Here Is Brake's description of how women
voters used the registry books:
I could not get the names of three
women that I saw register three times
without leaving the room I could not get
the names because they would not let us
got the names. They registered them twice
before Len Rogers and the third time they
went over to the other side to the other
clerk."
Joseph F. Maxwell testified that a number
of women were put on the rolls who did
not register and were not residents, one of
whom, Alice Hltt, was "a girl only 17
years old." Being asked who vouched for
the names when they were put on the rolls,
he said.
"Miss Alice Donovan, who has been a
prominent democratlo worker In, that pre
cinct for years. Bhe has been democratlo
Judge and democratic clerk."
Maxwell said he discovered a woman
voting in one polling place under the name
of Mary O'Leary and in another as Mary
C. Bates. He arrested her, and she made
a confession, which shows that the market
rate for women's votes was 11.
How Good Women Were Treated.
Tha kind of experience good women had
to undergo at the polla is illustrated. In
the testimony of A Newton Pat ton. lie
brought two girls named Baker to the
polling pluce to register, both republicans.
One of them had been ill and was only
Just able to be about. The Mlases Baker
took their place in line and Patton stood
king to friends for twenty minutes.
Then his atteullon was called to the. fact
that thore were as many people ahead
of the Bakers as there had been at Uie
outset. Billy Oreen, a democratlo worker,
was crowding people In ahead, of the two
girls. Pat ton stepped up to the counter
and told the clerks that one of the Misses
Baker was 111 and that he did not think it
right to put late comers In ahead of her.
Green called Patton a name which he
would not repeat In his testimony and told
him to get out. Seeing that the sick girl
was becoming nervous at the prospect of
fight, Patton swallowed his anger and
stepped back. In fifteen minutes, the girls
till being as far as ever from the counter,
one of them beckoned Patton over and said
that her stater was so 111 that she did not
think they could wait. Oreen again ordered
him back. At the end of an hour one
of the Baker girls succeeded In getting to
the counter and called Patton to vouch for
her, according to law. Green then used
"language too Indecent to be used in any
place on earth," and told Patton he could
not vouch for anybody. Green then called
on some tramps to throw Patton out.
"I replied," says Patton, "that one of
those women was very sick and that I
would go in order to avoid trouble."
But they fell on him and threw him out.
Green putting his hand on a revolver. The
object of the demonstration, of course, was
to drive the Baker girls away, and it suc
ceeded. Patton found them in the street
and tried to get them to go back and reg
ister. "They said that they did not want to
endanger their lives by going into such a
pluce again, and all my persuasion would
not Induce them to do so." .
Woman Ont-llerods Herod,
A pleasanter side of woman's aptitude
for politics is given In the testimony of
Mrs. Mary McGrath, a republican, who dls
covered a way to beat the registration
frauds. Bhe took a number of republican
women to register, but the clerks would
not allow them to do so. Mrs. McGrath
was beaten for a while, but presently she
noticed that some men who wore buttons
bearing the name of 8timpson, the demo
crane canaiaate tor governor, were
promptly registered.
"I spoke to Mr. Ashworth about It and
I said. 'Well, if we had a Stimpson button
we would get registered, too, and get
waited on In time." So I got a lot of Stimp
son buttons and we told the women i we
would not gq up with them any more, 'but
gave them the buttons, and thew went to
democratic headquarters and they got
vouchers for them there and had them
registered at once."
Yet this natural-born politician said on
cross-examination:
Q. Tou are a republican? A. I have al
ways voted that ticket, because my hus
band was a -republican; but I don't know
anything about politics.
This same Mrs. McGrath detected a num
ber of women repeaters and gave a thnr
oughly feminine description of one of them
"She didn't have no head-dress on her
bead, and bad such lovely hair that It a

The PLAGUE of OLD AGE
Nearly every old person is troubled more or less with Rheumatism,
and the fewest number escape its tortures. Many arc bent and deformed
and physically disabled by the awful misery and suffering inflicted
upon them by this fearful scourge. While the young, vigorous and
strong are not always exempt.it seems that the old are the chief
sufferers from Rheumatism, that it is a disease peculiar to old people
and the plague of old age.
One may be born with a strong predisposition or tendency to
Rheumatism; it may run in your family; father or mother may
transmit it to their, children; but while the blood flows pure and
strong through the veins and all the vital powers are in perfect con
dition, Rheumatism rarely develops; but as we pass the meridian cf
life the digestion becomes impaired, liver and bowels sluggish, and
the svstem clocked with poisonous matter: then the blood becomes
polluted and tainted, too acid and sour, grumbling pains and frequent aches are felt in the
muscles and joints, and before you realize it Rheumatism has you in its clutches. The disease
nay settle in the large muscles of the back, neck or thigh, the joints of the legs and arms or
fingers and toes, or it may confine itself to no particular spot, the pains darting from one mus
cle" to another, striking one joint to-day and another the next, with redoubled fury. It is an
insidious, sneaking disease. You maybe up to-day and in bed to-morrow; the pains may be
constant or occasional; but for all that Rheumatism is produced by the same causes, and comes
from the same fountain source a too-acid blood and general disordered condition of the system.
The pains and aches, throbbing muscles and swollen joints, are helped by the application
of plasters and the use of liniments and salves; but
these things do not reach the hot, feverish blood
nor touch the real cause of the disease, and for this
reason only partial relief comes from their use. The
treatment should be both internal and external.
The riotous, acid blood must be purified and
brought back to a healthy, normal .condition, the
accumulation of poisonous matter in the system
checked, and vigor, and strength restored to the
sluggish, torpid organs; and while S. S. S. is doing
this the simple home remedies may be applied for
the temporary relief they afford to the aching mus
cles and ioints. w .
S.S. S.js a blood purifier and tonic combined ;

Woman's Frank Confession.
But the testimony of Mrs. Beatrice Muhl-
enian was the prettiest thing In the two
big volumes of evidence. Bhe was a mem
ber of the contu'iraey; but some of the
democrats testified that she was a repub
lican spy. On Saturday 'before election
Frank J. Medina took her into a hotel
room, locked the door, and asked her if
she would work for him "fixing up ballots
and getting out rcjaaters." The price
agreed upon was $100 and he paid her $50
down.
On Sunday Mrs. Muhleman, with the In
dustrious Alma Beswick and George 8.
Granger, a democratic election judge, went
to a place on California street, where they
found the ballot box. On the lounge was
package of ballots, tied and sealtd.
Granger and Miss Beswick, after locking
the door, opened this package and took out
125 ballots.
'With these, a bottle of Ink, a bottle of
mucilage and a few pens, they went to the
St. Nicholas hotel, and Miss Beswick took
room. When they got in Miss Beswick
locked the door, the curtains or shades
were drawn down tight, the gas lighted
and then tho bundle of ballots was opened
by .Granger. Then Granger said we should
tear off the first or top perforated strip
with the number on it of each ballot, and
then we took off the second numbered per
forated strip, and all the strips were laid
on the back of a chair. After they were all
off Mr. Granger put them all in his pocket,
except three, which I took unknown to him.
"Then Mlsg Beswick Bald the ballots must
be marked aa she said. She took perhaps
third of the whole number, and she
marked two with the word 'Republican' In
the blank space at the top of the ballot
where the voter is supposed to write the
name of the ticket he votes; another 'Old
Soldier,' one 'Socialist,' one 'People's Party'
and one 'People's Democrat.' Then we all
three wrote In tha rest of the 125 ballots
the different styles of handwriting, writing
the words 'Democrat,' "Democratic,' 'De

the blank space. I wrote two of the bal

They numbered and folded the ballots,

Muhleman, and they drove around visiting

the ballots correspond with the poll books

Miss Berwick's Tireless Activity.
Miss Beswlck'a last job that day was to
arrange a scheme by which the republican
judge of election was to be ousted and a
democrat put In his place. Miss Beswick
was to Insist that Young, the republican
Judge, go to the courthouse to get a regis
tration certificate. While ha was gone she
would elect Ktodgedale. a cemocrat, to his
place, and when Young came back he would
be kept outside the Iwcnty-flve-foot limit.
Granger reported ti Miss Beswick, and that
fertile worker told htm she had arranged
to have twenty-five men start a fight at
the polling place. In the course of which
the republican watchers and challengers
were to be thrown out.
Lucius W. Hoyt saw Ave girl repeaters
go Into the same polling place and vote

"Oh, no; the same dress exactly; they
hadn't changed It at all. It was a con

"Bremer Fhook his fin at me and the girls

A Human Interest Incident.
Miss Sarah E. Stout was a republican
challenger, and her testimony sheds a de
licious light on the human Interest Bide of
woman suffrage. A man came up and at
tempted to vote In the name of a person
named Soco. Miss Stout challenged hlm
as not being Soco at all. The Judges were
out of patience with her. "Why do you
challenge this man's vote?" they demanded.

. OFF AND ON FOR TEN YEARS.
Mt. Vernon, Ohio, May 28, 190&
Last January I was severely troubled with Rhea
matlsm. I had It In my arms, shoulders, knees, legs
and ankles, and one that has ever had Rheumatism
knows how excruciating the p:Un is and how It Inter
feres with one at work. 1 was truly in bad shape,
having been bothered with this trouble, off and on,
for ten years. A looal physician advised me to use
8. 8. S. 1 did so. After taking two bottles I notloed
that the soreness and pain was greatly reduoed. I
oontlnuod the tnedieine, and after taking six bottles X

you any good."
"Mr. Soco used to be try beau," was the
crushing answer. "This man I never saw
before."
"The judges dropped their heads," she
adds in her testimony, "out they let tha
man vote."
Miss Stout's observations about the men
who came in to vote under names they hud
not learned perfectly were acute and en
tertaining. She told about a man who came
In to vote tinder the name of Stephen some
thing. Ho was a mere boy, and he care
fully pronounced his name "Step Hon."
She gave tho democrats a lot of trouble,
and at lrst they resorted to violence.
Another delightful picture of loman ex
ercising the franchlso was contributed by
William II. Medarls:
"A woman wont to vote. She wanted to
there was no McKlnley ticket. ' She said
she wanted to vote the Roosevelt ticket.
They said there was no Roosevelt ticket.
So after she had gone the Judges said:
"Well, we beat you out of one good repub-'
llcan vote theie.' "
The human Interest side of woman suff
rage Is again Indicated In the statement
that Krnest Thompson took his sweetheart
(now his wife) out of town on election day
and while they were gone two democrats
voted on their names. '
