LOCAL OUTLOOK BRIGHTEST IN YEARS
Omaha Tram Han rromtsla Lot at
Yonngetera a ad Papn Bill
PranliM Ilia Annnal
nrprlee Parly.
Two week.
Fourteen day more and the Rourke
family will have again assembled around
whrre Pa hands out the pay checks, and
the work of getting a tram ready for the
summer's campaign will be under way.
Mr. Itourke is pleased with his prospects
as never before and looks forward with
great confidence to tho playing; season, feel
ing sure that he will spring his annual sur
prise, and spring It In several places, too.
fach year since the present Western
league has been Jn existence Papa Bill
has handed a new one to the waiting pub
lic. 'Beginning with Tommy Hughes and
running down to Pflester and McClosky he
has had at least one pitcher the big
j leaguers wanted, and with whom the local
-t fans hated to part. And this season Is not
Jl at all likely to see a break in the record. It
Is a great training school for ball players
Bill Ilourke runs out at Vinton park, and
any of his graduates who go up stay up.
Bill teaches them the game as It should be
played, and his output Is looked on with
respect all over the country. If you doubt
this, JUHt take a lnok at the former Omaha
players who are doing things In the big
leagues. That Is why the youngsters like
to get on with Omaha. They know that
when they get a season or two on the
Omaha team they will be ready for the
fastest of company. This season several
candidates will start on the course, and
the veteran Rourke smiles at the celling
whenever he thinks of the fun he Is going
to have with his rlvnls during the season.
President O'Noll Is on his way east, and
la likely to drop In on Omaha during the
present week; not that ho will stay here
long, for the local atmosphere doesn't seem
to agree with him, but lie will show up to
convince all doubters that he Is still among
us, alive and able to sign his salary check,
lie will bring with him his draft of the
playing schedule for the season and the
assurance that Pueblo and Denver are In
good condition. Then he will slip on over
to Des Moines and probably to Chicago,
whence he will call the meeting of the
league. It hasn't been settled In which
city thla meeting will bo held, but It ought
to go to Lincoln. The new member of the
circle will be only too gt:id to see the mag
nate of the other cities nnd provide for
them a real good time during their stay In
the city.
One of the announcements that will
cause a great wavo of Joy to sweep over
the circuit is that Ira J. Davis ("Slats")
has been secured as a member of the West
ern league umpire staff. Keefe will be
with us again, and a gentleman of the
name of ' Peter F. Fuller, from the wilds
of Chicago. But it's "Slats" who
will be the warm member of the
bunch. lie talked himself to death on the
Vcoast last season, was slugged several
times, was openly accused oi Deitmg on
games and umpiring the way he had
placed bets and otherwise given a good
character. Just at present he I weighing
malls on a pumpkin vine railroad out in
California and la reported to be enjoying
his life immensely. The road carries about
eight pounds of mall a day and "Blats"
la happy. Just think of letting Bobby
Cartlther go and employing' this freak.
Until the season's schedule has been
adopted, it will be Impossible to fix the
date, but steps should at once be taken to
make the occasion of the first appearance
of Pueblo on the local diamond a memorable
occasion. It will be In honor of Frank
Seleo, one ef the best base ball men who
ever lived. He gave Omaha Its first pen
nant ard has always been looked upon as
one of us. . For this reason It ought to- be
easy to give him as great a reception as
was accorded to Kid Nichols In IDt'l All
the old guard will take delight In making
such an affair a success, and, while It Is
a little early yet for details, It la not too
soon to begin agitation. Remember the
occasion and be ready to make It one that
Seleo will be glad to recall all his life.
Johnny Bender will surely be a big help
to tho Rourke family during the hot days
of the coming summer. He has always
been one of Papa Bill's favorites, but was
missed when he decided to "go out" by a
misunderstanding. Bender signed with
Little Rock because he was under the Im
presslon that Rourke didn't think well of
him, and I'apa Bill was much downcast
thereat. He hastened to tell Bender In
what high estimation he held him, and has
never since ceased to labor to secure the
ex-Cornhusker for the Omaha team. Ben'
der is not only a crackerjack catcher, but
us a good Intlelder as well, and Is a high'
grade hitter, onu of his favorites being
' what is known as a home run. He Is an
ambitious In this regard as Bill Bchlpke
ever thought of bulng. end knocks the ball
out of the lot every cliauce he gets. His
presence on tue team will be a great sup
port to jail.
, John C. Drexcl, ex-county clerk, and old
base ball fan, who has Ju.U returned from
a pleasure trip to Cuba, reports the interest
In base ball on the Uland to be something
marvelous and a great surprise to him.
He suld: "I never saw such base bull In
my life. Many of the base ball players
of this country had run over there for a
short trip and a J to 4 game was played
' one Bunduy before JO.OU) people. The In
forest In the game was ut a fever beat
at all magna mid a - wager was made on
every move. Beta were made on hit or no
. hit on every man, and If a man reached
first they would bei even money on his
betting second. They bet on every con
ceivable phase of the game. The tran
portatlon facilities were wholly Inadequate
for the handling of such a throng and
nearly all had to drill in from the game.'
Glenn (Kit) Carson of Geneva, sou of ex
Sheriff Carson of Ftliuore county, will be
given a try out this spring by Manager
Ituurke. Carson has been playing good ball
in the bushes And comes with the best of
recommendation as a hitter and fielder,
Ha la said to have been a good second to
Bender In the games played and is built
along the same ilia as "Peanut" Perrlne
whom St. Louis secured from Denvo last
fall. The fans of Geneva and Fairmont
and other Nebraska points where Carson
has pluyed, will watch his try out with
interest and all express their confidence in
Ma making good.
i "Dad" Huntington and Benga will cap
tain the two bowling teams which Omaha
will send to the national tournament, which
will be bowled at Louisville next week. The
teams wi'i go under the nainoa of tb Krug
Parks and the Store Blue Ribbons. The
Utorx team will be composed of Fritscher,
Cochran, GJerde, Hartley and Captain
Huntington. The Krug Paika will be
French. Zimmerman. Walens, Berger,
Johnson and Captain Beugele. Omaha
made a good showing at the last national
tournament and the present repreaen
talivea, who leave tUs evening for the
Blue Glass state, have promised to make
Just as good a report wnen the returns
are sent In. The best the country has
will be on hand. Including the Ounthers,
who were In Omaha for a series of games
several weeks ago. This team has been
strengthened for the trip and expects to
carry off the honors.
At the meeting of Hie Council Bluffs
Rowing association held Wednesday night
at the Grand In Council Bluffs, many of
the Omaha members were present, but did
not attempt to force any f their members
upon the directorate. B. W. Dickson of
the Orchard-Wllhelm company was the only
Omaha man elected. Many Important
changes were planned and work will be
started on them as soon as spring opens
out. Tho membership of Ui club was In
creased from 228 to 400, which will give
admittance to many who have been shut
out by the limit of the cab. The bowling
alley will be torn away and in Its place
a large two-story locker room for women
and men erected. The club house will also
be changed to give more porch room and
the dancing halt will be enlarged. The
matter of most Importance In the eyes of
most of the sailors was the discussion of
plans for the production of a yacht to
represent the association In the regattas
at St. Joseph and Oshkosh. The St.
Joseph boys had a boat which was able
to ahow Its heels last fall, but the associ
ation hopes to be able to put a boat on the
water this year which will be In the
running at both Oskosh and St. Joseph.
This club has become more popular each
year and the heeded Improvements on the
locker rooms and club house will make
It more enjoyable than ever.
So many prospective buyers are In the
field for the purchase of the corner where
the Toung Men's Christian association
tennis courts are located, the director of
athletics Is fearful lest the association will
be without courts for the summer. These
courts at Twentieth and Farnam were put
in good condition last year and would be
especially handy this summer with the
association located temporarily in the
Omaha Commercial college building at
Nineteenth and Farnam. Many of the
members are advocating a regulation hand
ball court in the new Young Men's Chris
tian association building, In which match
games could be played before a good
gallery of players. This could be used for
squash ball, a game which haa struck a
popular chord in Omaha and which is
played by many at the Racquet club.
$
The probability of a change In manage
ment of Courtland beach Is delaying prog
ress of the proposed club hefuse for the
Omaha Rod and Gun club. - No lease has
been made for the season and the owners
do not like to grant permission to the
club to build until they find out who the
new tenants will be. All arrangements
were practically agreed upon between the
club and Manager Griffiths last year and
the club was ready for an active campaign
to raise the balance of the money needed to
build the house. About $1,000 Is on hand
and the directors anticipate no difficulty
In securing the balance as soon as tho
matter of location can be determined. The
fishing at Cut Off should be better this
year than ever, for the bass first planted
by Fish Commissioner O'Brien are of
good size by this time and are large enough
to hustle an amateur angler.
Amateur base ball clubs all over the city
are getting the fever and are planning their
spring campaigns and preparing to iauugil'
rate the season as soon as the weather mod'
eratea to permit . of outdoor games. Last
week did not look much as if base ball was
but two weeks away, but the players realize
that la the case and several of the teams
have been having little hops and entertain
ment to raise a little preliminary money.
The Holly Base Ball club gave a ball at
Morgan's hall on Sherman avenue Tuesday
night, at which a considerable sum was re
alized. The Field club will have a team In
the field this season and the old war horses
are chaffing at the bit for the fray.
The first spring work at the Field club
will be to have the water hydrant moved
from the new forty-acre tract which has
been leased as the new course at this popu
lar club. Andrew Christie has been retained
again and will report with the first robins
to begin work on his candidates for the
Transmlsalsslppl trophies, which will be
contested for in June. Frank Hoel, as chair
man of the greens committee, has promised
the links will be in Just as fine shape a at
tho close of the season last fall, when the
links were the pride of the. club and were
favorably commented upon by all visitors.
Clarke Colt will have charge of the club's
end of the tournament and will do alt In
his power to make the visitor feel at borne.
In addition to this mora special contests
will be arranged for the season. Omaha
players are all confident that this city will
be able to groom up sorne good one who
can trot right along beside those of older
clubs. St. Louis will be on hand with
good delegation and the northern cities will
also come down loaded for bear. The Field
club will not' have to stand alone In his
fight, as the Country club players will be
right on hand to help represent Omaha; In
fact the Country club sent more players to
the Transmlsslssippl last year than did the
Field club. With a field to their liking, the
Omaha golfers should make a good show-
Ins.
All arrangements have been made for
the International Billiard tournament for

The remarkable prosperity of the turf in
America last year, even with the sport
barred in several of IL western states, is
hown In the advance sheet of Goodwin's
Official Turf Guide. The amount of money
IstrHiutetl to horsemen In the United
Slates and Canada, exclusive of the value
of cups and plates, was $S,477.!K2. Had
there been mclng at Chicago and St. Louis
on th old lines probably fl.ono.OOO would
hare been added to this amount. Accord
ing to the figures compiled for the Guide,
th Brighton Beach Racing association, In
twenty-eight day of sport, gave away
C2M96, which Included $25,800 In second and
third money not guaranteed. Th Brook
lyn Jockey club In thirty day" racing dis
tributed $S4.166. 102 race being run at
Oravesend. The Coney Island Jockey club,
Iso with thirty days, handed out $671,300
to successful owners, who took part in ISO
event, including one worth $.13,740, two of
$3,000 each, three of $20,000 each, one of
$17,2, one of $16,000, one of 111.6TB, on of
$12,425, one of $10,000. two of $8,000, thlrty-elx
of $1,200, sixty-four of $1,000 and fifteen of
$900 each. The Westchester Racing asso
ciation, which enjoyed thirty day at Bel
mont Park, distributed $375,000 In 10 races,
the most valuable -one being for $15,420. In
123 races at Aqueduct the Queens County
Jockey club paid out $126,900, the richest
event being worth $7,200. At Jamaica the
Metropolitan Jockey club gave $129,900 to
owner of winner and placed horses In 133
races. At Saratoga $23,840 went to success
ful horsemen In 132 events, the most valua
ble being a $50,000 stake. The Washington
Jockey club cut up $118,530 among owners
In 209 races, while Providence got rid of
$49,400 and Buffalo $85,850. It Is also shown
that out of a total of 7,763 race on the flat
more than 5.500 were at distances of one
mile and under. Ther were 837 cross
country events, which showed an Increase
In this branch of the turf's popularity. The
magnitude of the sport In New York state
alone Is well illustrated by those figures.
Owners and breeder would be in dire
traits If the enemies of the sport should
manage to score a triumph at Albany.
The American team will sail from New
York on March 31, arriving at Athens on

Th Western Women' Qolf association
at Its annual meeting at Chicago accepted
th challenge of the Eastern Women Gulf
association for a team match and will send
twenty players to the national champion
ship tournament thl year at Wert Newton,
Mass.
Louis Crlger of the Boston Americans,
probably the best catcher In the profession,
who la III at Hot Springs, Ark., may never
play ball again. Spinal trouble. It Is said.
Is the cause of his prenent condition, which
Is pitiable. Crlger haa wasted away so
that he weighs a trifle more than IX
pounds, and can hardly move around. The
physicians who are attending him say that
he may recover, but from present Indica
tions It will be out of th question for him
to don a Boston uniform for a long time to
come. If ever again. Crlger's loss will mean
that the Bostons will be hard up for an ex
perienced backstop to handle such pitchers
as Young, Dlneen, Gibson and Tannehlll,
a Charley Farrell, the veteran, has Just
gone Into the hotel business at Marlboro,
Mass., and say he is through with base
ball. Crlger himself Is hopeful that he will
be able to play, but at the start of the
season the team will have to depend on new
material.

It I now understood that the fire In the
factory of the George H. Pierce company
at Buffalo will not at all delay deliveries
of the Pierce Arrow. The chief damage
done was to the bicycle shops.
Frank C. Zehrung. manager of the Oliver
theater at Lincoln, purchased this week a
type 3 riambier niucnine. This is the third
machine of this type to o to Lincoln this
spring, and another carload has been or
dered to fill orders already taken at that
point.
R. S. Rising of Lincoln haa placed hi or
der with the Rambler people for a urrey
type 1 machine, to be finished In the Im
perial blue. The machine will be delivered
to Mr. Rising March 16, at the factory at
Kenosha, and he will drive it through to
Lincoln.
Two carloads of Rambler machines were
received here this week, one car containing
the surrey type' 1 machines and a carload
of the surrey type 3, one of the new liMi
models. This latter machine, hy the way
which Is Hated at $1,350, has the same body
which was sold last year on the Rambler
$3,0U0 cars. It Is very handsome In appear
ance and with the cape top is an ideal
touring car.
Overloading a car 1 like overloading a
stomach. Both will tell their story In time,
The man who owns a small touring car, of
the ten-horse-power, good-roads sort, often
overloads It. When the clutch falls to hold,
the low-speed gear is loose, the tires rim-
cut and the springs sag, ne wonders "wnat
ail It." If your car is In this dyspepilo
condition, turn your mind backward and
consider whether you have been guilty of
overloading.
New Yorkers gained an entirely favorable
Impression of Sidney S. Gorham during the
first week of his occupancy of the New
York headauarters at 81 West orty-secona
street. He went through the accumulated
mall like a streak and disposed of affairs
in a stnadv. systematic way that Dromlsea
great results for the association, yet he had
little to say. The verdict was that he is I
worker and not a talker, and that the pres.
ent administration will make the associa
tion stronger than ever. Although it has
grown mightily, It is settled that there will
continue to be no initiation fee, the annual
membership dues for individuals remaining
at 12. as before.
Positive and practical progress towards
the perfection of factory methods are now
being made through the co-operation of the
engineers and superintendents of the As
sociation of Licensed Autmoblle Manu
facturers, who are organised as the me
chanical branch. This was demonstrated
with wonderful clearness at the March
meeting, held at the headquarters In New
York a few day ago. The discussion wa
Upon the etandardlxatlon of screws, caps,
etc. The committee on tests, which ha
charge of the laboratory work, reported on
a definite standard for the adoption of all
member and for the use of better ma
terials. Specifications for varlou grade
nt iui ani metal comrjosltlon were re
ported, also for use In various features of
construction. Thl adoption of standard
crew thread and the ascertaining by cl
entlflc test of the best materials, 1 some
thing the need of which hws long been pro
claimed, and the co-oporation of the chief
mechanic in the industry promises better
cars, at least from th maker In thl or
ganization. A fact worthy of note Dy an wno ian
i,... iniami In I ha American automobile
Industry wa admirably brought out by a
placard at tne rnnaueipma "
over Dr. Thomas' Locomobile racer, witn
which Joe Tracy finlshea tnira in m
derbllt cup race. It called attention to the
fact that the American car had defeated

In connection with these irrigated lands
of southern Alberta a rather serious Inter,
national question ha arisen. Th 8t
Mary's river, which supplies the water for
the territory settled by the Mormons and
others, rise In 8U Mary' lake, which
are situated In northwestern Montana,
bout twelve mile from th international
boundary. Theae lake are twenty mile
long and one mil wide. They lie high up
In the Rocky mountain and are fed by
th heavy nowfall and glacier. They
give 8t Mary river plenty of water, fur
nishing an abundant supply for th 190
mile of canal which thu Canadian have
built and hav under way and by which
they expect to reclaim something like 630,

through th 8t Mary's into th Saskatche

Within a short distance of Bt. Mary'

north fork of the Milk river, which run
northward Into Canada, and then, turning
south, flow for hundreds of mile through
th United State Into th Missouri and on
into th gulf of Mexico. By making

ATHOROUGH CLEANSING OF THE BLOOD
THE ONLY CURE
It is necessary for the proper growth and development of the body to be
born with a pure, healthy blood supply, because every part of the system is
dependent on this vital fluid for nourishment and strength. Children not
only inherit the features, tastes and dispositions of their parents but their
mental oualities, infirmities aud diseases as well, for we all know that
"What Is Bred In tho Bono wll! out tin tho Fosi,"and any taint in the
blood is sure to be handed dowu to offspring to disorder and disease the system.
Children born with an hereditary taint in the blood do not have the
energy and strength nor even the inclination to enjoy the sports and pleas
ures of happy childhood, and their frail, poorly nourished bodies are not able
to resist diseases and disorders like their companions who have inherited a
pure, untainted blood and a strong, robust constitution. The blood being
impure from birth, the very foundation of health is afiected and weakened and
we see the hereditary weaknesses manifested in many ways. They are usually
pale and anaemic, their growth is stunted, and their systems failing to receive
My child was always sickly; In fact, our family
physician did not think that he oonld Ut. When he was
a little boy ho broke out with a terrible eruption on his
faoe, head, hands and feet. He did not get better, so
after trying many other things we began the use of S. S. 8.
with him and continued it for some time with the result
that the eruption entirely disappeared. Now, thanks to
S. 8. 8., my boy is strong and healthy. Husband and I
have recommended S. S. S. to others with the same good
results, so it is easy to understand why it is that we think

rent wishes to see his child otherwise than healthy, and these evidences of impure blood
are a source of constant remorse and grief.
Sometimes because of prudent living and favorable surroundings inherited blood troubles
lie dormant in the system during young, vigorous life, but when middle age is reached or
passed and the machinery of life has begun to wear out, the trouble begins to assert
itself and declining years are made miserable and unhappy because of disease.
There is but one cure for inherited blood troubles, and that is a thorough cleansing
of the blood, and no medicine equals S. S. S. for this purpose. It goes down to the very
root of the trouble and removes every trace of the impurity or pollution, and cures blood
diseases of every character. S. S. S. not only cleanses and purines the blood but supplies

Would Redeem American Deserts.
Such a canal would give enough water to
redeem thousand of acre of good Amer
ican soil, and the clttxens of Montana "claim
that it ought to be so used. They say that
the water fall in the mountain of the
United States and they ought to water
th United State. The Canadian natur
ally object. They aay that the water hiv
ing fallen in our country I no reason that
we should keep it, for it may bave evap
orated from Canada, and that they have
a common right to It since It haa .been
flowing through its present course for
thousands of years. I understand that the
two government are now in consultation
regarding the use of these lakes and that
an amicable arrangement may be expected.
There Is no question but that Uncle Sam
wants hi share of the St. Mary's lake.
In th reclamation project, approved by
the ecretary of the Interior, as per the
bulletin published last September, $1,000,000
ha been set aside for reclaiming 200,000
acres along th Milk river, and there are
several scheme outlined by the geological
survey, all of which Include the use of
these lake. One 1 to make a fifty-foot
dam one-half mile long at the lakes and
then cut a canal, from there Into Cut t.ank
creek, a tributary of the Maria river, and
by another dam and a second canal to
throw the water Into the Milk river. This
would give water enough for the reclama
tion of 200,000 acres of land In the upper
Milk river valley, near the Great Northern
railroad.
In addition to this there are other
schemes which would lesd to the redemp
tion of thousands of acres more, the water
coming chiefly from St Msry's lake.
In the meantime the Canadian say that
the Milk river runs for 100 miles or more
through Canada before It goes back Into
th United State and that If the Amer
ican disturb their Irrigation works here
the water of that river might be ma
terially diminished by being spread over
Canadian lands.

The Corpse Sat Up -
Conscious that she was being prepared
for burial, but unable to move a muscle,
Mr. W. R. Sherwood of Mabel, Minn.,
awuke from a deathlike trance just In
time to escape being burled alive. Th
woman died of pneumonia, presumably, and
was laid upon a bier, and candles were
lighted. The absence or the embalmer
from the village prevented her body from
being filled with embalming fluids, thus
Insuring death. Just before dawn two
women, sitting uj with the corpse, were
startled by a wild shriek, and hurrying to
th death chamber found th "corpse"
sitting up. Mr. Sherwood wa delirious
for hours from fright, but later told the
detail of her horrifying experience. The
women watchers are In a serious condi
