iml may not be asked to algn at all, as
a deal Is on for his disposition to Leaven
worth, and If he Is sold ha will sign there.
Kelly Welch's eyee ar still a llttla bit
bigger than hla salary arm, and he thlnka
Bill ought to unbelt a trifle further. A
slight difference of opinion on this toplo
has kept blin oft the signed list, but ha
will plsy In Omaha or not at all during
the coming season. Banders la atlU sulk
ing, but will very likely coma out of It
before many daya. The deal whereby
Rrurke hoped to trade Sander to Little
hock for Bender la apparently off, for
Chief Zlmmer wired during the week that
ha had decided to keep Bender. He has
made a counter proposition to Rourke that
may yet land Banders In the Arkansas
capital. Koukallk and Bassey wera tbJ
, last of the youngsters to com lit, but
they got under the wire In good season,
and wilt report with the rest of lha family
In two weeks. This gives Rourke the
moat likely bunch of young fellows ha has
yet started with. The veteran Una that
has faced the foe at Vinton park for the
entire time sine Ita erection will be
changed Into almoet a team of colts. Mo
Neeley .and Quick will be the Veteran
pitchers, Carter and Welsh the seasoned
outfielder, and Dolan the only landmark
on the Infield. Runkle, slated for short.
Is not exactly a beginner, though, and
Oondlng and Krec" are seasoned players.
Second, third and left will be filled by new
ones, and Marx, the catcher who will b
relied on to divide the work with Oondlng
I also just from the amateur ranks. Bas
sey, who will play left, showed last fall
that he has the making of a swell ball
player In his little frame. Perrlng, who
is down for third, has had enough ex
perience to warrant trusting him with the
bag. He comes well recommended as a
batter a well as a fielder. Ivon Howard,
Who will have second bass in charge,
showed last fall that he understands some
thing of what I required of the man at
that station, and besides that Is a will
ing performer with the stick. It looks as
If Omaha's defense would be properly
taken care of during the season,
In the offensive Omaha 1 certain to be
stronger than last season. Howard is a
much better hitter than Martin, Bassey
than Thiol, and lerrlne will surely do aa
well as Bohlpke, even If he doesn't garner
the home runs. Carter can hardly b Im
proved on as a batter, while Welsh la sure
I to com again with the stick, and If h
'hit In hla old-time form he will b found
near th head of the list when the official
statistician gets his figures made out
next fall. Joe Dolan is not at all likely
to go off any In his hitting; on the con
trary, the move across th diamond from
short to first ought to help him, as It will
lessen somewhat the strain on him during
th gam. This makes It- sure that the
home fans will be delighted with mora
safeties than for some seasons. Th pltoh-
ers are such as - pleas Mr. Rourke, and
when he is satisfied with his pitching
staff the publio ought to be, for he haa al
ways bad a bunch that could make good
in the box. McXeeley and Quick are too
wll established to require introduction,
With them will be Koukallk, Corns, Fort,
Huesser and Welch. Out of this list of fine
young athletes a staff will be chosen that
will do well with the fast fielding, hard
hitting team back of them. In fact, tha
prospect for Omaha during th coming sea
son Is extremely bright. Papa Bill doesn't
believe In winning pennunts off the field,
but h says with a smll that h la willing
to b shown.
The announcement that Frank Belee will
look after the Pueblo team during the
coming summer Is about the most welcoma
announcement that could have been mad
In Omaha. It means first of ail that hla
health has Improved since going to Colo
rafio. or that ha would not undertake
active work again. It means also that
Pueblo will have a good team, well
handled, and that its visits to Omaha will
be like a call from an old friend. Frank
gelea won Omaha's first pennant and haa
always been looked upon as almost a resi
dent, of tha city. Nowhere was there
mora genuine sorrow than her when he
was compelled by failing health to glv
up hla active and successful career In th
National league, and nowher will th sat
Isfactlon at his return to th gam. vn
In a minor league, be more sincere.
"Scrappy" Jack Doyle is to be th play
Ing manager for th champion during th

fervently hoped that this trio will reform
to some degree before th playing season
opens.

Rapid (la.) Three-Eye team; MoCormlck,
crack amateur, with Crelghton univer
sity last year, and Frank 8 human, a Ne
braska amateur of decide promise. Bhea
of laet year's Bt. Joaeph team haa not yet
signed, but Holmes expects soon to have
him In tha fold. An American league man

will ba complete.
The catcher for Lincoln signed to date
ar Zlnrart, Bt'. Joseph steadiest back

the Wichita team In th Kansas league.
Holmes bought Btarnagle, a crack Sioux

nagl la sulklr.g at hla home In Belleville,
111., and has not yet signed. Tha addition
of Rogers, who cornea highly reoommended,

and considers himself mighty fortunate to

la to go Into his old position in tha left
garden. Ketchum, a Western league vet
eran, is billed for center, while the rlht-
fleld position is still In doubt. Ketchum,
who is wintering In New lork state, has
expressed his desire to play ball In the
Southern league next season and Holmes
Is now considering two or three deals to in'
elude him in a trade.
The lack of Bunday ball la not expected
to be a permanent bar to financial success.
Lincoln cleaned up a good bunoh of money
In 1894 In tha Western league without Bun-
day ball and th Nebraska capital ha ex
panded so much In population and wealth
sine that period that Holme is not worry
ing any as to the gate receipts. Meanwhile
Lincoln' quota of Bunday games ar to
be booked in th five other Cities In the
league, th arrangement being that on
these transferred gamea Holmea la to re
celve hit full thart of th gat and grand
stand money: Eventually, however, Holme
may book Sunday game at a pleasure re
sort Just beyond the city limits. The Lin
coin public- Is gradually becoming more lib
eral on the score of Sunday recreation; the
mayor and city authorities ar favorable to
the Idea, and Bunday ball seems hot far
distant.

With the certainty that the next Vander
bllt cup race will be held in thta country
American automobile manufacturers have
begun preparations for representation In
It. Notwithstanding an unpleasantness
caused by tha manner In selecting th
American team for th . last cup contest,
there la reason to believe that there will
ba even more American car nominated
for th race in 108 than for that In 1106.
Among high power . machlnea Intended for
tha race upon which work la reported to
b wall advanced ar two Pope Toledoa,
two Whit steamers, a Thomas Flyer and
a Maxwell. Tha Thomas Flyer la aald
to ba tha most advanced of any and is
declared to ba a marvel in construction.
Tha amount of Ita power i kept secret.
but it la believed to b much in excess
Of lOO-horsepower. On, If not both, of th
new Pop racers will b of six-cylinder
type. Of tha Whit steamers It is as
serted that they will be of greater power
than any and otherwise improved over
th car of that make entered In th last
cup event There ia likely to be Mill another
ateam racer nominated if F. E. Stanley
adheres to hit determination to build a
machine for the contest. After his suc
cesses in Florida Mr. Stanley made th
statement that ha would construct a ma
chine capable of a sustained speed of 100
miles an hour for th distance of th cup
contest. H haa proved himself capable of
building th fastest motorcycle In the world
for a aprlnt of on mil, and muck inter
est would be taken in an effort on hla part
to construct tha fastest car in th world
up to 100 mile. Another machine whloh
ia well on its way toward completion and;
tha performance of which Is awaited with
Interest is the 100-hersepower Maxwell upon
which work was begun in the winter. This
car, like 4he Thomas Flyer, Is expected
to be ready for private trial within
month. Nominations of Franklin, Royal,
Haynes, Matheson and Premier machines
are believed to be assured despite tha
fact that cars of these makes fared badly
in th last preliminary trial, either because
of hasty completion or through the man
ner of selection by th cup commission.
It is doubtful whether - there win be en
tries of either Locomobile or Christie ma
chines, while it is probable that nomina
tions will b made of Ford and Wayne
machines. At tha present time It looks
as U there would be at least twelv nom
inatlons for places on th American team,
thus insuring a preliminary race before th
cup contest Having learned by th expert
enc of last year that tardiness in pre para
tion means defeat in the race, American
manufacturers art likely to have their
cup machlnea completed and well tested
out long before th date of the competl
tion. Th Pop. Whit. Thomas and Hsx
Weil machine will be among th first

Is to have a man roll his team games at

first balls will be thrown at 9 o'clock In
the morning and the last before 11 o'clock

laying plans and It looks as though Phila

place.
Memphis fane were commenting on the
fact that Johnny McOraw did not bring
is Olants to Memphis with him, but came
ahead of them. "To get things ready
for their reception, of course," said one.
It is part of McQraw's policy not to mix
too freely with his players when oft the
diamond. It Is In the same line with the
rule governing the umpires. They are not
allowed to travel with players nor associ
ate with them In any way except on the
field. The reason for this Is obvious. Personal
friendships between an umpire and certain
players would hardly work to tha good
of impartial umpiring. An umpire would
ba bound to play favorites, even Involun
tarily. McQraw treats nil his men ex
actly alike, from his pitching marvel,
Christy Mathewson, down to the newest
and rawest recruit. There Is no favoritism.
Social gatherings when oft duty might
have a tendency to beget oblisatlons, real
or fancied. That Is why McQraw gives
them no chance to exist. In the home
Club' house McOraw haa a dressing room
to himself. The general on the battle
field, the one on whom depends the success
or failure of the entire action, the Tate
of a nation, perhaps, does not mix with
his men except to Issue orders. If he did
he'd bo of little use to an army. The most
cordial relations exist between McOraw and
his champions and they are proud of him.
But it Is a general relation and not an
Individual one with personal degrees.
Numerous parties of hunters left Omaha
yesterday for a crack at the festive water
fowl along the historic Platte. The mild
winter has brought these birds north early
this year and many good bags have been
made by Omaha hunters who iiave already
made trips Into the state, visiting the
Platte and some of the, marsh counties.
Boms have conscientious scruples against
shooting the birds in the spring when they
are going north to nest and will not take
their guns from the rack, while others use
the argument that a duck killed Is a
duck killed, whether it la In the spring
or In tha fall, and so shoot Just as freely
in th spring a in the fall. Some states
have laws against spring shooting, but
the laws of Nebraska are silent upon that
subject. An effort has been made in several
states to have uniform laws made to gov
ern spring shooting, but this has not
been accomplished.
An effort is being made by the lovers of a
good horse race In Omaha to have a date
on the Nebraska clroult. When the an
nual meeting was held at the Merchants
hotel in January the directors of the asso
elation gave the Omaha men to understand
that a date could be had on the circuit if
the local men would perfect some sort of
an organization and hang up the purses.
Soveial of the local owners have been In
teresting themselves during the last week
and several schemes have been broached
to accomplish the end. One was to organ
lie a stock company among the horse own
ers and members of the Omaha Driving
club, so the expense would be light on each,
with the probability of the datea paying
out A latter achem is to have the back
ing of the Commercial club and to Interest
the Jobbers in the meet Nothing definite
was done. Omaha haa a good half-mile
track, with part of a grandstand which
could be fixed up at small expense. There
ar plenty of people In Omaha who delight
to see a good horse race and the horses
which will follow tha Nebraska circuit
Should be good enough to draw large
crowds In a city llko Omaha. The meet
would surely bring plenty of outsiders to
tha city, for even the smaller towns In the
state which hold meets are crowded to
thwlr capacity when the meet Is held.

Easy Money for Magic Boots
White pepper Is alleged to be the principal
agent used In the making of the "maglo
boots," for which Charles M. Schwab la
said to have paid $5,000 a pair, and which
warmed the feet of Bishop Potter at an ex
pense of something Ilka $1,500. Tha investi
gation begun by Champe 8. Andrews, coun
sel to the County Medical society, into th
methods of Prof. Matthew H. Hllgert of SI
West Twenty-sixth street. New York,
whera his fifty employes manufactured
"mnglc-mechanlcal physiological" footwear,
promises to bring to light the names of
many credulous persons who paid high
prices for their shoes.
A believer In the virtue of a shoe sola
whose "maglo" was pepper worth t centa
an ounce, was the seasoned old sporting
man, John T. Brush, president of the New
York base ball club of tha National league.
Mr. Brush bought a pair of "maglo boots"
from the Hllgert company. They did not
restore him to the physical condition which
he expected to attain and ha delayed pay
ment Thereupon suit was entered against
him to recover $2,000 for a pair of shoes,
which, shoemakers say, could hav been
built for $25 If tha finest material and the
most expert workmanship had been em
ployed In their manufacture. Mr. Brush
has retained D Lancey Ntcoll as counsel.
Mr. Brush says the shoes tickled his feet.
but didn't cur his Ills.
Arthur P. Black of B2S Sixth avenue was
another customer of the Hllgert company.
The price charged against him was $1,100.
His feet were tickled also, as were the feet
of K U O'Connor of 1269 Broadway. The
shoes caused them to walk on tiptoe, but
neither derived any benefit from It
"Th investigation of this case," said Mr.
Andrews lost night, "has brought about
the most astonishing revelations. Hllgert
Is unquestionably a competent shoemaker.
He hs a large establishment, with a great
force of employes, and makes first class
shoes, but he Is not a physician. Never
theless he professes to cur with white pep
pers a long list of diseases which have
baffled medical science for centurlea By
the wearing of the 'maglo boots' ha says h
can cure:
"Paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
"Neurasthenia and heart disease.
"Rheumatism and gout.
"Sciatica and tic douloureaux.
"Neuralgia and St. Vitus' done.
"Pulmonary affections.
"Affections of th throat and vocal
chorda
"His prospectus asserts that th our is
brought about by shifting th circulation of
the blood. To prove bis ability to cur dis
eases, where braces are needed, as In weak
ankles, broken arches and hip disease, he
ha a special room In his establishment
where he shows crutches and braces which

Tork World.
Knew His Purpose
Corporal James Tanner was talking about
a grafter.
"He thinks all men are grafters," said
Corporal Tanner, "because he is on him
self. So does the coward think all men
share his cowardice.
'There la a story about a young recruit
who. In his first engagement, lost heart.
The ping-g-g of the bullets terrified him.
Spying a hole In the ground, he broke from
the ranks, rushed to It and threw himself
within, cowering against the earth.
"An officer, disgusted, ran to the terrifljd
recruit, clapped him on the shoulder, and
said:
" 'Rejoin your company at once, air.
"The lad looked up at the officer and an

THE ICIM OF
BLOOD PPMFIEKS
No other remedy has given such perfect satisfaction
blood purifier and tonic or is so reliable in the cure of blood
diseases of every character as S. S. S. It is known as
"The King of Blood Purifiers," and the Secret of its success and
its right to this title is because "IT CURES DISEASE,'0
It is an honest medicine, made entirely of purifying, healing
roots, herbs and barks, which are acknowledged to be specifics for
diseases arising from an impure or poisoned condition of the blood and possessing tonic prop
erties that act gently and admirably in the up-building of a run-down, weakened system.
One of the greatest points in favor of S. S. S. is that it is the only blood rerredy on the
market which does not contain a mineral ingredient of some kind to derange or damage the
system. It is the one medicine that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child
or the oldest member of the family, and persons who have allowed their systems to get in
such condition that most medicines are repulsive to the stomach will find that S. S. S.,
while thorough, is gentle and pleasant in its action, and has none of the nauseating effects
of the different mineral mixtures and concoctions offered as blood purifiers.
As every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength, it is
necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs and poisons. So long as it remains
uncontaminated we are fortified against dis
ease, and health is assured ; but any impurity,
humor or poison acts injuriously on the sys
tem and affects the general nealth. Pus
tular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the
different skin affections show that the blood
is in a feverish and diseased condition as a
result of too much acid or the presence of
some irritating humor. Sore3 aua Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the
blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison etc., are all deep-seated
blood disorders that continue to grow worse as long as the poison is allowed to remain.
But all blood diseases are not acquired; some persons are born with an hereditary taint
in the blood and we see this great affliction manifested in many ways. The skin has a
waxy, pallid appearance, the eyes are often weak, glands of the neck enlarged, and as the
taint has been in the blood since birth the entire health is usually affected.
In all blood troubles S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy and has well earned the
title of "KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS." It goes down into the circulation and removes
all poisons, humors, waste or foreign matter, and makes this stream of life pure and health-
OkOwO
PURELY VEGETABLE
Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison and all other blood troubles are cured perma
nently by S. S. S., and so thorough is the cleansing of the blood that no trace of the dis
ease is left to break out in future years or to be transmitted to offspring. If you are in
need of a blood purifier get "THE KING" of them all, S. S. S. and good results are
assured. Book on' the blood and any medical advice desired furnished without charge to
