You may not have nwtheJ It, but if you
will talcs your rye off tho coal pile aud
the lhwmomKr for a minute you will tee
that the run In filing fuither Into thu
north e;ich surcei-dliirf day. In about sixty
day he wi.l trros tne line again, and that
wean that I'iii'i Hl!l Rourke will th-.-n
line up a bunch of ball tossers that will
make the world of the Western haguu for
get that lurli a thing as wintertime ever
existed Kourke Is going after another
championship for,tht closing year of the
Western league contrail life. To make
sura of this he Intends to start rl?ht at
tho tap of tho drum and keep It up till
the lust game 1h bulled, and he won't stand
fur any mure eyelash finishes, either. He
has only one piollin to solve Just now,
and that Is second base. Who will be
where Lit 1 1 Howard stood last summer lie
can't say yet, but It will be somebody who
can take care of the bag, all right. A lot
of letters to Harney Dreyfus on the sub
ject of Howard's return lias praotiuclly
ended all hope of securing that line player
for another season, for Dreyfus knows a
Kood player when l.o gets ono, and pro
poses that Howard shall be In the outllrid
for the Pirates during the coming summer.
Papa Bill is looking for another man and
hope to land one of two whoso iiinc have
often been noted on score cards In connec
tion with National league context. Ho
hasn't anything certain yet, but It's a
cinch he Will have the second bag well cov
ered. With Bchlpke at third, Beaver at short
and Dolan on first, a good second baseman
will make the Omaha Infield well nigh a
stone wall for sure. Tho list of pitchers
needs little com men t. Itrown will not be
with us, but Diebhardt will take his place,
and that makes Omaha the one team In
the west that can truly say It has a pitch
ing staff. Tho outfield will bo tho same as
last season, and that was good enough.
It Isn't good form to win a pennant this
eniiy In the year, but tho outlook for
Omaha Is so encouraging that the goods
might cs well be delivered. In the mean
while, Des Moines and Denver are ex
pected to make a. warm tight for second
money.
Speaking of Des Moines and Denver, the
porting writers of these towns ure In a
cave of gloom since the meeting of the
Western leagun at Omaha, and aro predict
ing aM aortty of dire things, even to the
ultimate and Impending smash of the
league. And Joe Cantlllon Is blamed for It
all. "We don't know where C'aiitlllon Is
at." they shout. "He didn't uncover him
self at the league meeting." Well, here's
for one guej-s: Jno Cantlllon didn't rt his
money Into tho Des Moines proposition for
the sole and single purpose of smashing
the league, Not much. If he had wanted
to see the league busted he would have
kept away fmra Des Moines. As a matter
of fact; the Western leugue Is In tho best
hands, so far as Its management la con
cerned, that It has ever been. Tip O'Neill,
the new president. Is a base ball man, and
will give the league's affairs his attention.
Cantlllon, Rourke and Tebeau are base
ball men, and have their money Invested
In the Western league, and will try to make
the season a success, for that Is the only
Way they can get their money back. It
stands to reason that neither of these three
Is going to do anything that will make
the game unattractive or drive patrons
away from the grounds. Kverythlng Isn't
aa lovely, maybe, as might be, but calm
consideration of the situation suggests that
the Western league could easily be a great
deal worse off than It Is.
It may be (hat the rod of chastisement,
wjildi was laid on him with no light hand at
Cincinnati, had its effect on Tebeau, but
whatever the cause, the fact Is that when
he was In Omaha attending the Western
league meeting, he was the tamest Tebeau
ever seen In these parts. lie forgot all
about his old time dictatorial ways and
listened patiently to what the others had
to aay, and didn't for a minute undertake
to be the whole show. He and Houke
burled the hatchet, and so far aa tho
Western league Is concerned will set
harmoniously. Tebeau knows that Rill
Rourke la not a man to be despised In the
base ball world. It was through Rourke
that the Western had the American as
sociation over the ropes and nil but out,
when Packard and Burns weakened, the
latter to make an alliance with Tebeau.
If they had stuck for another season, the
vlotory would have been on the Rourke
banner. Tebeau knows this and Isn't look
ing for another affair of the sume kind.
Rouke Isn't hunting for trouble, either,
and It was only natural that they rhould
reach an agreement in regard to a matter
In which they are both so much Interested.
When the proposition to extend the life
of the lesgue for fivo years was sprung at
the meeting, Tebeau Joined In the quiet
mile that greeted It, and hod nothing to
say m-hen It waa allowed to die a natural
death. Just what fate has In store for the
Western after the coming season can well
be left to the future. Omaha and Denver
are sure deserving of membership In a
better circuit, but It Is not easily apparent
how It will be formed. The Bee still hopes
to see the old time Western league circuit
revived. Put the present season must be
played out, and it will occupy the stag
very fully from now until next fall at any
rate.
Comparison may be odious, but they
serve at ttm; to show what is what and
who is who. In the matter of bowling,
for example, no local son need be ashamed
of the scores being rolled up at the Omaha
Bowling association alleys. While at pres
ent the Milwaukee tournament may stimu
late the local bowlers more or less, yet even
the work lust year here was of a high
order, ss figures and comparisons already
printed have shown. The present occa
sion for rejoicing over our bowling au
comtilli'hmenta ate the scores mado re
cently, In connection with which a tdngu
lar coincidence occurred last Monday even
ing. Whllo Ted Neale was piling up a
score of WJ for three games on the Omaha
alleys, Frank Neale was dolrir things
over at Davenport, la., on the ICast Third
street alleys, by making 64?. which broke
all records for the: Davenport City league
and Incidentally got tho player's name In
the papers in bold-faced type. All of
which brings us back to the text, that of
comparisons. It needs an occasional com
parison to bring ourselves to a full reallta
tiuti of what we are redly doing or not
doing. In the bowling line the Gate City
boys are doing thing", and the records of
the city league show that the names of
players who have made W7 or better In
three games are legion. The Omaha Neaje
came within two pins last Monday evening
of teaching the present season's record,
which Is AM, made by F. W. Schneider.
Conrad hns made UJ.'i; Clay, 673; Potter. 67:';
Kmery, 604: Fritscher. ft. And there are
others who have made scores near these
maiks during the present season. The
Omaha Neale made the high score of 278
In one of bis games Monday evening,
which is -K27 for the game, and not half bad
for a youngster. Neale is one of the sea
son's prodigies and has been coming to the
front In flno form.
Billy Townsend says the rabbits are so
plentiful over at Denlson, la., that all the
hunter has to do la to drive around the
suburbs of the town with a deep wagon
and tho little animals will Jump Into the
vehicle with alacrity and of their own
volition. Mr. Townsend has been think
ing this matter over and has reached tho
conclusion that this system leat the old
method of sprinkling saline substances over
the caudal appendages of the critters and
then plucking them by their auruculBr por
tions. Billy says he would rather rat
stewed rabbit than roasted Japanese water
birds.
"l'lkc's peak or bust" will be the watch
word of the chauffeurs who enter the
Pike a Peak International Climbing Contest
and Denver-Colorado Springs Automobile
carnival. The bin event will be the climb
of Pike's peak by auto for tho Wahlgreeit
11,000 prize cup offered by tint publisher of
Motor Field. Dr. Harold E. Thomas of
Chicago I. as already entered his ninety
horso power car for the big climb. At least
I6.0UO will be expended putting tho road In
proper Khape, and the Chamber of Com
merce of Colorado Springs Is lending Its
moral and financial support to make the
occasion a notable one. The climb and
carnival will be held In August or Sep
tember. In his article, "The Auto to Stay," Dr.
W. A. Brooks says: "Once the automobile
has been used, Its advantages are so Ap
parent that it is as great a wonder that it
waa not sooner employed as that Its disuse
should be suggested. It may be said, In
deed, to form a necessary link In our mod
ern system of transportation, the link that
the railroad, great as Its development has
been, has-left unsupplled. To the physician
the automobile Is of Incalculable benefit. It
annihilates time and distance within a
reasonable range and affords to the sick and
Injured an opportunity for practically Im
mediate treatment or relief. The auto
mobile is too distinct a benefit to disap
pear and requires only reasonable care to
enjoy universal approval."
Prof. Yamashlta of Japan, who Is to teach
his art or offense and defense to the mid
shipmen at Annapolis, says he is to teach
the young men Judo, which Is but a part
of tho nrt of Jiu Jltsu. He will also give a
course at Harvard university and instruct
President Roosevelt. It Is said of the
professor that he can choke an antagonist
Into unconsciousness, nud after an hour
revive him without bad effects. The ques
tion that suggests Itself in thla connection,
who will be willing to bo choked for an hour
hy the professor? It also suggests the
statement that this Is no new art. Boys
hereabouts twenty-two years ago practiced
an art of doubling up the necks of chickens
and leaving the fowls apparently helpless
for an hour, restoring them to the pursuits
of life, liberty and happiness without
ruffling a feather.
The latest word In the French automobile
dictionary Is "domoblle," applied to a car
with sleeping apartments. Thus we see our
Parisian brother may sleep with Impunity
In his touring car. The next thing we will
hear will be "all the comforts of home"
In an auto. People who Idly use the words
"this la the limit" know not whereof they
peak. There Is no limit In this day and
generation. It may coma In the next. A
prominent hod carrier waa heard the other
day to remark. ' "The time will come I
do not know when, but It will come, when
all a man will have to do will be to alt
down In a reclining chair, push buttons and
things will come to him."

tllvs there is a need for the proposed
organisation here, and is hopeful of success.
Already be has enlisted quite a number of
prominent local sportsmen, and betore the
Ides cf March shall have rawed on the
calendar, it La thought the new association
will have been launched. The Idea 1 to
establish headquarters at Cut Off lake
end later on to build a club bouse, with a
lleet cf boats. The Council Bluffs organi
sation had lat year a membership between
30V and M.
E. W. Dixon, tho oVner of the sail boat

ing a new boat bulk for 'next season. The
boat Is being constructed at White Bear,
Minn., and will be reHdy for delivery by
March li. Mr. Dixon and his crew expects
to do some fast work next season In the
races nnd to excel the record established
by the Manawa last summer.

The squash courts oc the Omaha Racquet
club, which were opened New Veal's day s,
aro receiving considerable patronage.
Monthly tournaments are being heid.
Twenty-eight entrants are now playing the
January- tournament, the finals of which
will be rlayed off on the 2Mh Inst. Besides
the tournament games there are a number
of match games every day.
The gunners of tiie midwest are begin
ning to sit up again and take cognisance
of the fact that the spring days aro not
a great way off. Last Thursday after
noon the Omaha Gun club gave a little
shoot on the grounds across the river,
with a view of getting in shape for the
big event which ol-cura March 21 and 21.
Tho March event Is one of a series of
Interstate shoots, the cracks and others
from Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska
attending. The Iowa Interstate event will
be held at Des Moines on March H. 15 and
1C, whllo It Is believed the St. Joseph meet
ing will follow the Omaha shoot. Kansas
City and Balina will bo the scenes of Inter
esting RAtherlngs of tli marksmen. This
will make a series of five big events, com
ing so closely together that the- cracks
may make a circuit.
As the books now read, George Carter
of IJncoln, Dan Bray and G. A. Schroeder
of Columbus, William Veaeh of Falls City,
George Rogers, F. Montmorency, W. D.
Townsend. 11. S. McDonald and G. W.
Loonils of Omaha nud L. F. Reed of
Ohiowa will represent the Antelope state
at tho event to be given under the auspices
of tho Omaha Gun club. Among the cracks
who will attend those meets are: C. W,
Budd of Des Moines, Fred Gilbert and Rus
sell Kline of Spirit Lake, James KlltoU of
Kansas City, Fred Whitney of Des Mollies,
W. H. Heer of Concordia and Frank Rid
of Kast Alton.
A number of Omaha trap artists will go
next Thursday to Geneva to attend a shoot
to be given by Charlie Thorp. On Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week I.. E. Rued
will conduct a two days' shoot at Ohiowa,
where the Denver Post trophy will lie con
tested for by L. K. Reed and C. E. Wil
liams, the latter being the present holder
of tho trophy.
One of the hcalthynlgns of the times Is
the general widespread interest being mani
fested throughout the country in indoor
sports. Whllo there Is not a surfeit of
Indoor sports here at present things are
picking up In this direction, and the out
look, la bright. It seems the various In
stitutions hereabouts aro missing their op
portunities by not getting their track teams
together and arranging for a serlos of con
tests. Physical Director Pent land of the
Young Men's Christian association said
nothing is being done in tho way of an
Indoor track team at tho association Just
now, as there Is a sad lack of competition.
Competition Is not only the life of trade,
but of athletics. It only needs someone
too start the thing and tho contests will
follow as a natural consequence.
The organisation of the Auditorium polo
team last Thursday morning la a step In
the direction referred to and It Is hoped
will result In something material. The
team Is out with a deft to meet any team
In the state on roller skates at the Audito
rium. Roller polo has been played exten
sively In many of the eastern cities this
season and Is said to be a fast game.
Basket boll stock has been quite spirited
during the week and promises to be on
top of the market for some time to come.
The game at the Auditorium last Tuesday
between the University of Nebraska and
Omaha Young Men's Christian association
was a splendid exhibition of the Indoor ball
game. The association team will play the
Sioux City crack team at Sioux City tomor
row evening. Last evening the Omaha High
school team played the high school team at
South Omaha. On February 3 the Crete
High school team will meet the Omaha
High school at the local association court.
The members of tho Omaha Bowling as
sociation will hold a meeting this afternoon
at the association alleys on Harney street
to talk over the Milwaukee tournament and
discuss other matters of Interest to local
bowlers. A large attendance of the bowl
ers Is urged. The entries to the national
bowling tournament will close February 10.
The personnel of the Omaha contingent
has not been made out further than that
the Omahas and Waverlys will go, with a
complement of Individual players, some of
whom will enter the one-man and two-man
events. A prize of 1100 has been offered
for the best Individual bowling, which will
Induce many of the players who attend In
dividually to compete. The members of
the two teams mentioned and their ave

RUBBER FROM PRAIRIE WEED
Dlseevery of Ureal Valae Made ky
keea Herders la Col
orado. Just to make good Its prrud boast that
It can produce within Its own borders ev
erything used by lt r"P". Colorado is
going Into the msnufacture of rubber from
a plant raised- on Its own soil. It la a mat
ter of unbounded satisfaction to the people
of Colorado that the attention of a Colo
rado man was called to this Colorado plant
by a Colorado ram at the sacrifice of Its
own life; and that this Colorado man, sub
sisting strictly upon products of Colorado
oil while he did It. Invented a process of
extracting rubber from the plant, for whlen
process patents were secured with the aid
of a Colorado lawyer, whereupon a Colo
rado company was organise d to ntllix" this
process with the aid of machinery designed
by a Colorado engineer and bul'.t st a
Coloraio machine shop.
Leaving out this psrdonable state pride.
It is a matter of Interest to the whole na
tion that a perfect substitute for rubber
has been found In the Juice of a plant that
grows everywhere In the arid west at the
hlglier altitudes; that the supply of this
plant Is unlimited and that an economical
process of extracting the rubber has been
found. For nearly every man. woniin and
child uses lubber In some of Its Innumer
able forme, and the supply of the gum Is
falling below the demand, so it Is said, so
that consumers are forced to pay constantly
Increasing prices for overshoes, comb, gar
den hoso and the thousand and one arti
cles made of rubber.
Perhaps It may be Incorrect to speak of
this new substance as a substitute for rub
ber, for. as a matter of fact. It Is rubber,
chemlenlly. in appearance and in every
other way. It is r.ot possible to distin
guish articles of various sorts that have
bcn made from Colorado rubber from sim
ilar articles made from the best Para rub
ber. But the manufacturers who have tried
the Colorado product llnd that it docs not
compound quite so readily as the best Para,
so they figure that there Is a slight Intrin
sic difference. When the best Para Is
quited at II. 1J a pound they are willing to
pay 8l to 10 cents a liound for Colorado
rubber. Hut they arc glad to get the tl'W
rubber. There is at once a boundless field
for It and an unlimited supply.
The first factory to extract Colorado rub
ber from the plant Is approaching comple
tion at Mue.ia Vista, Colo., on the standard
gauge Hue of the Denver Rio Grande
railroad. Its dally output will be a ton of
glim, worth 11.600 and produced at a cost of
ttX. For a year a single experimental ma
chine has been grinding away In Denver,
supplying gum en-nigh, to demonstrate what
can be done.
Before the plant from which tho pum is
extracted made Its grout hit It was re
garded us a nuisance around home, ccn
ten ptuously designated us "rabbit weed."
but now that it Is starred as the great Colo,
rado rubber plant. It ba been given the Im
posing stage name of Plcradenln Florlbunda
Utills. It i a biennial, maturing from the
seed In two years. It Is a short, bushy
weed ten to fourteen Inches high, with
thick, stocky roots. Tho leaves are very
small and narrow, and the bark nnd
branches extremely tough and fibrous. It
has already been foiind mat a good quality
of paper can be made from the tops n well
as from the pulp obtained from the roots
after the gum has been extracted. There
are hundreds of square miles literally cov
ered with this weed In Colorado, Utah and
New Mexico, it grows only In arid sections
at an altitude ranging from 7,H)0 feet to
timber line.
The plant Is the first green thing to be
found In tho spring, and for that reason 1
eaten up by sheep when they are permitted
to get nt It. But the sheep men found that
their sheep grefc- weak and emaciated ana
finally died after feeding -on rabbit weed. It
never occurred to any one to ascertain the
manner In which the weed produced the
fatal effect until Myron O. Brownell, a
Denver real estate man, visited a friend en
g aired In tho sheep business near Burn
Vista, The friend ha4 a valuable ram that
had carelessly teen permitted to browse on
rabbit weed, and a couple of weeks later
died with tho usual aymptoms. At Mr.
Brownell's suggestion a post mortem was
held on the ram. The stomach was founa
to be filled with pellets of black gum. This
gum was perfectly Indigestible, nnd so had
caused death. Mr. Brownell had some of
the substance examined by a Denver
chemist, who said It was rubber.
It did not take long to reach the conclu
sion that the rubber came from the rabbit
weed on which the ram had been feeding.

RHEUMATISM
A DEMON OF PAIN
CATARRH
DISGUSTING DANGEROUS
VJa
Even when the body is strong and free from
disease, the blood pure and health) and every
member working in harmony with nature, the
cold, bleak winds of Winter, its ice and snow are
disagreeable, and we are glad to see the "Ice
Kini" give place to Spring with its warm, pleas
ant weather. There are many, however, who
must, in addition to the disagreeable, unpleasant
weather, bear the suffering and distress of Rheu
matism and Catarrh the terrors of Winter and
I had a severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism la tha
knees, from -whioh I waa unable to lea'va my room for
ral months. I tras treated by ttro dootors and also tried
cUflerent kinds of linimenta and medicines which seemed to
relieve me from pain for awhile, but at the same time I waa
not any nearer getting well. On day while reading ft
paper I saw an advertisement of S. S. 8. for Rheumatism. !
I decided to give it a trial, which I did at once. After I
had taken three bottles I felt a great deal better, and 1 atlll
continued to take it regularly until I waa entirely oured.
I now feel better than for year, and I cheerfully recom
mend S S. B. to any one suffering from Rheumatism.

they have little bodily comfort or pleasure during this season, for the time not spent in ab
solute suffering is employed iu "doctoring" and treating these miserable diseases.
RHEUMATISM is a deep seated disease caused by a sour, acid condition of the blood re
sulting from bad digestion, weak kidneys, poor bowel action, stomach troubles, etc. The
poisons and accumulations which should pass off through the avenues of bodily waste are
retained in the system, to be absorbed by the
blood and through the circulation distrib
uted to the different joints, muscles, bones
and nerves of the body, producing the pain
of Rheumatism. The muscles contract, the
joiuts inflame and stiffen, pains shoot
through the bod, and every movement is ac
companied with excruciating agony. The
first breath of Winter brings on the symp
toms, and at everv exposure to cold or damp
weather there is another attack. Plasters, liniments, oils, etc., do not reach the disease, which
is iu the blood, and valuable time is lost by experimenting with these, because all the while
the poison is accumulating in the blood and the disease getting a stronger hold on the system,
that may result in shattered nerves, weak heart or permanently crippled limbs.
CATARRH, with all its loathsome and
dangerous symptoms, is fanned into life when
cold weather comes, and the patient knows
he must go through the winter "hawking and
spitting," with dull headaches, an annoying,
thin, watery discharge from the nostrils, and
half sick feeling all the time. In vain he
tries washes, sprays and inhalations, with
onlv temporary relief, because the trouble is
in the blood and beyond the reach of surface treatment. The blood is filled with waste matter
and catarrhal poisons caused by the inactivity of the organs, and if these are not expelled
and the blood built up, the disease becomes dangerous and often leads to Consumption.
S. S. S. is a perfect blood purifier and cleanses the blood of all poisons and impurities,
and as it circulates through the body it nourishes and soothes the irritated nerves, aching
muscles, joints and mucous membrane, and cures Rheu
matism and Catarrh permanently; and while it is thorough
in its action, it is gentle and never leaves any bad results.
S. S. S. builds up every part of the system by its fine tonic
effect, increases the appetite, aids the digestion and puts
every part in good working condition. S. S. S. is purely
vegetable, and does not in i ure the svstem in the least.
Book containing information about either disease and any advice wished will be given by
our physicians without charge. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, ATLANTA, OA. ,
Gentlemen : I had a bad case of Catarrh, and need tha
usual treatment of sprays and washes without any
benefit. Several dootors told ma I oould not be oured. I
had a continual headaohe, my cheeks had grown purple,
my nose was always stopped up, my breath had a sloken
ing and disgusting odor, and I coughed t&oassantly. I
heard of S. 8. 8. and wrote to yon. On your recommen
dation I commenced to use It, and after taking several
bottles I was oured and have never sinoe had the slightest
symptoms of the disease. I will always be glad to recom

tallty of the guards as related by the con
victs. Advocates Direct Vote on Senators.
Governor Garber was an advocate of the
proposition to elect United States senators
by direct vote of the people, and during his
administration, as during many administra
tions since then, the legislature petitioned
congress to submit to the people such an
amendment to the constitution. Another
act of thla legislature that had been popular
with legislative bodies since was to petit.on
congress for an appropriation to improve
the Missouri river so that shipping by waier
could be facilitated. The petition recited
that the river route was much bfitter than
shipping over the railroad.
Reward fur Ktlllim Grasshoppers.
What appears now to be a humorous act
of legislation was approved by Governor
Garber when he affixed his signature to the
Joint resolution to congress asking that the
proceeds from the sale of public lands be
devoted to wiping out the grasshoppers.
The resolution called upon congress to
"Imitate the example set by various nations

Vast Conceit of Roosters.
Were It not for the disgusting self-eoncelt
of the roosters we might enjoy the poultry
show next week. The rooster is near to na
ture's heart. He has not civilisation
enough to veneer his opinion with common
politeness and sovolr fair and Ms dl
fuatlug exhibition of the art of being It
offends good taste and refinement. How
the hen manages to put up with It ix cer
tainly ono of th! inyrterli-s of the coop.
If the six or eight hens would join a hen's
club tnodeled after Soroi-ls and throw the
rooster down g ud and bard once or twice
he would soon discover that he was not
the only kernel on the cob. Minneapolis
