Western league affairs are taking on
such activity as makes much promise for a
lively season. Omaha, Des Moinea and
IJneoln are m&klna; dally announcement
of players secured, and It la only reason
able to suppose that mother towna are pre
paring In almllar manner, althouirh not
much in heard from them. Out In Denver
people, profess to be much disappointed
that Cousin George Tebeau did not well the
team to someone who wanted to buy It.
Fact la, Tebeau Is not at all likely to be
electrd mayor of Denver on his base ball
record. Hurke, who la the resident member
of the partnership, has told the folks tht
Denver will have a championship tenm,
but ft merry ahcut of "show me" greets
his utterance. Tebeau haa an arrange
ment with Darney Dreyfuss for the pick of
the nttsburg castoffs. and It la likely that
out of them some will be sent to Denver,
although Louisville and Kansaa City will
get ft few.
The, Cantlllon combination with Cleve
land and Washington Is securing a likely
team for Des Moines, and the champions
are sure to be a hustling bunch. Brother
Joe has staked Brother Mike to a couple
of Washington embryotlc pitchers, and
Tnrrv Lajole has contributed another pair,
so that the box work of the Hawkryes will
be up to the standard. Other positions on
th team are to be filled out In similar way,
tTie Idea being this reason to give the west
ern patrons a real bull team. Ducky
Holmes has copped Clcotte. the frsh
youngster Dca Moines got from Detroit last
season. He will he worth bis money to
Ducky, tro. Johnny Jones will be In shape
again, and this makes Holmes sure of two
good pitchers. Lincoln will miss Top Kyler.
who was by Ion odds the best of the
Western pitchers Inst season and a very
popular player nil over the circuit, but
especially In Omaha. Pep decided to take
his bones to the sunny southland, where
batters are not so troublesome, and will be
found sending them over for Little Bock
during the warm days of the comlrg sum
mer. Holmes has other pitchers. thmh.
and will present much the snme lineup as
last season, excent Leo QuIMIn. who wis
snatched by Comlskey for the Sox. It will
be a little awkwnrd for Ducky to fill thit
hole, for he Is not likely to he eg luckv as
Tapa Tllll whs In the matter of snaring star
third basemen. j
Omaha's outlcok was never ao rosy as It !
Is now. Magnate Rourke has succeeded In
putting together a team that looks better
on paper than any Omaha has ever had. I
Ho has made, a specialty of ploklng players '
with "pepper," men who will fight till the j

people with their senseless kicking anj
rudeness, but players who know the game, j

first to last. - He haa turned down ft num
ber of really attractive propositions be- ,
cause It was rot apparent that the player
had the esscntlat quality of ginger tint"
would make him lively and pggresslve at
all tlmea. Papa Bill believes In decent and ;
orderly conduct en the ball field, but h :
will not tolerate proceedings marked by the
stately decorum of a diplomatic reception.
He wants a contest that will enan. and
that's what he proposes to hand to the vis
itors at Vinton Street park during the
summer.
Autrey writes from Mexico City that his
winter season down there la proving very
successful. Press notices refer io him as
the boy wonder and give glowing accounts
of his career at bat and In the field.
Omaha fans are willing to believe anything
about Autrey, and wonder- at the calm
nerve of Jack Doyle who offered to trade
Hemphill and JItckey for him. It would
Just about take the whole Milwaukee team,
with the franchise, thrown In to secure
that boy. Then there's Jimmy Austin, who
looks better every day. and Billy White,
who was the whole works In Doc Shlve'ey's
bush aggregation laat summer, bcth of
whom will figure to the winning of the
rennant. young Belden, who will hold
down the sun pasture1 during the summer
for Omaha Is touted as being even better
than his brother, who Is with Denver. If
he's as rtood he will do. What I.on Vry
will amount to remalna to be aeen. Ho
' will be given every chance, but If he doesn't
make good 'at first, there's old reliable
Joe Dolan to fall back on. Dolan batted
In mote runa than any man on the team
last season, and his eye la Brighter and
better than ever right now. Buck Francks
for second and Welch In middle complete
tha field, but Ivan Howard will be reserved
for utility. Gondlni and Bender are down
to do the catching. Qonding Is ready to
go Into a game at any time, his winter
having treated him well, while Bender
wites that he Is In the best of trim.
The pitching proposition Is not ao worse,
either. Thompson of 8t. Ixmls Is the latest
acquisition, and he will start with Sanders,
McNeeley and Doflge, with some young
sters who will try for tha opening games.
Kelly Welsh Is showing signs of returning
reason, and If ha can get down to business
the Job Is open for him. Bill Isn't worried
bit alout the pitchers.
Out at Vinton park carpenters and grad
era are at work, making Improvements.
The club house and he new grand atand
are tha biggest things under way. In the
grand stand l.ono permanent cushioned
seats with strong and comfortable backs
will form a reserved sent section. This will
be available for an extra dime, but It will
be worth It.
Letters are being sent out to all men
under contract with Omaha to be ready to
report here March 21. Transportation will
soon follow, and business In base ball for
19W will be under way.

HASTINGS HOYS AXD GIRLS WIX
lloldreare Defeated Twice In a Day at
Basket Rail.
HASTINGS, Neb.. Feb. 16. (Special.)
Hastings High school boys' and girls' bas
ket ball teams won from Holdrege here
Frlduy evening by large scores. Holdrege
girls took the lead In the first half, but
Hastings Improved their playing and suc
ceeded In ending the half in to 12 In their
favor. In the second half they had every
thing their own way, giving their opponents
a chance, to Increase their score but two
points, while they ran their own score up
to 26.
The Holdrege boys were unable to do
anything against the Hastings bunch from
the start, the Hastings boya apparently
throwing baskets almost at will. Often ft
forward would catch the ball from center,
make one pass to the other forward and
Hastings would score. Holdrege did not
make one basket from the field, all their
points being gained on free throws. Final
score, 72 to 7.
PURITY-
ResultaS-that's it
SeeWhat a DimeWill Do
We gladly welcome the
Pure Drugs Law, because it
agrees with our thoughts
and methods. Cascarets
meet its every requirement
and always did since the day
they were first invented and
put on the market. PURITY,
QUALITY and MEDICINAL
MERIT have been the prin
ciples on which Cascarets were made and marketed.
We doubt if in all the world of medical science and thera
peutic manufacture better SKILLED CHEMISTS and more
carefully selected constituents could be employed than in the
making of Cascarets.
The RESULTS prove It.
No other Bowel Medicine on earth hat reached la history the tremendous
approbation and patronage accorded Cascarets by the American People, a testi
monial of GENUINE MERIT and satisfactory results, for surely no sensible
person would buy an article more than once, unless satisfied, or recommend it
to others if not ssdvinctd of its virtues.
The sale of Cascarets at the present time is over ONE MILLION
BOXES A MONTH, a fact that ought to convince anyone of the satisfac
tion given to millions of our friends and patrons.
It is just this kind of example placed before you that ought to induce
you to try a little 10c box of Cascarets and be CONVINCED of its value
and effectiveness. After this harmless, inexpensive experiment you will see the
reason for the unequaled popularity of this preparation as a true PERSONAL and
FAMILY MEDICINE, and this realization will urge future use when necessary.
So we ask you to take a'DIME BOX home with you, and "WHILE
YOU SLEEP THEY WILL WORK" and make you feel well and happy.
We back our request by our GUARANTY, and if you're not pleased, your
purchase-money will be returned to you for the asking.
Such has been our Faith in the efficacy of this pure, clean, sweet, mild,
harmless but forceful little fragrant tablet, so easy to buy, so easy to carry,
o easy to take, ao easy in iu action, that we do not hesitate to offer this
guaranty to the world, and make good on it.
Cascarets not only are- the best medicine yet discovered for the treat
ment and cure of Chronic Constipation and all its dire consequences, but
also a splendid PREVENTIVE OF DISEASE caused by bacteria and other
germs in the Bowels. There are more serious troubles that have their
origin in irregularities in the food channels than any other cause, and Cas
carets by thoroughly cleaning out the stomach and intestines and PURI
FYING in an antiseptic way, keep you perfectly safe from such fearful dis
eases as Appendicitis, Peritonitis and other deadly inflammations caused by
' retention of Indigestible food in the passages. N
We said Cascarets were and are the BEST BOWEL MEDICINE in
the world. Once more we assert that the sale of nearly 100 million of
boxes in eleven years PROVES IT. Our record is put VP against any
other medicine (or the same purpose in the world, lor ACTUAL RE-
eULlS.
Try 10c box TO-DAY. Buy it from tout own drueeist under GUAR.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16. More than half the
news of college sport seems to be taken up
with tales of disagreements, ruptures of
alliances, cessations of athletic relations
and the like unpleasantnesses. Outside the
reports of contests actually held and pros
pects of teams for the seasons to come,
there is very little else to record .but
breaks. Borne colleges seem to be persis
tent trouble makers. Their names get Into
the prints more often than any others.
Either they make clamor after a game, al
leging various unfairnesses, or they loudly
proclaim their virtue to be so great that
they cannot continue In entangling al
liances with. the more corrupt and there
fore more successful rivals.
The recent case of Pennsylvania In Its
ill advised protest through the college dally,
the Pennsylvanlan, against C. W. Randall
of Harvard, official referee of the basket
ball game between Harvard and Pepnsyl
vanla, Is one of the kind that have made
college sport unpleasant. The whole Harvard-Pennsylvania
disagreement Is too well
known to need rehearsing.
There have been all sorts of breaks be
tween colleges In the middle west, which
have been set forth at length with the
greatest possible publicity, with the result
that the morale of college sport has been
hurt.
The discussion by Dr. Nichols of Har
vard as to- "rule of thumb" training of
track athletes has aroused some comment
among the professional trainers. It Is true,
as Dr. Nichols says, that In only a few
cases Is a trainer a medical man. Mike
Murphy, John Bowler, C. P. Hutchlns and
possibly one or two-othrrs have studied
medicine. It does seem ' that It would be
better If men who handled athletes knew
something of medicine, although the fact
that so many of them do not and at the
same time produce well trained athletes
points out that It Is not absolutely neces
sary. Training seems to be a matter of culti
vated observation. A trainer gets hold of
a man whose physical peculiarities are thus
and such. He knows In ft general way what
succeeded and what failed In the cases of
certain other men of ft like physical de
velopment. But the trainer does not pro
ceed at once to adapt to this man's case
the rules that he tried before. He studies
his man's habits, finds out If he Is nervous
or phlegmatic, gives him a bit of hard
work to ' see what his reactions are and
continues until, after a month or so, In
which the man Is gradually Improving In
condition, the trainer knows what kind of
an .athlete he has to handle.
He knows whether the man has to be
worked hard all season to get fit, or
whether he has to get light work for fear
that he may go over the edge. He knows
whether the man who is heralded as a
rrep school star may be worked along
with the other athletes or whether the
unfortunate prevailing tendency of the
school boy to do everything In all sports
has put him ' i a condition where he
ought to rest entirely rather Than take up
athletics. Possibly ft medical man could
tell those things as well and certainly a
man with the true knack of training plus
medical knowledge would be ft better man.
But It must be remembered that there are
many men, who, even If In their time they
had been great athletes and had afterward
acquired ft very ' complete knowledge of
anatomy, physiology and hygiene, would
never be trainers at all. The training art
Is ft sort of Inborn Quality. Every man
has different theories of the game, caused
by his own mental bias In regarding what
he get from observation. There are illogical-minds
among trainers as among others.
Two men have tho same data and draw
different conclusions. It does seem there
fore than even If. as Dr. Nichols sug
gests, that the training game Is a "rule
of thumb" affair, it has to partake a trifle
of that nature involuntarily.
It Is aald that if Michigan does enter a
team of track athletes In the games of the
I. C. A. A. A., Garrels, Curtlss, Stewart
and Ramey will be sent to Cambridge,
among others. These four men, by the
conference rulea limiting competition to
three yeara, are Ineligible for the western
meet, but there Is nothing In the regula
tions of the eastern games to bar them.
Therefore, after consultation with the
other colleges of the conference, If It Is
decided that the men may fairly be sent,
they will represent the Wolverlnea. That
will give them several points for sure.
Garrels' performance with the weights and
Ramey's running are good enough to earn
points.
Edward' Parry, the former University of
Chicago athlete and foot ball player, may
take up professional wreatllng, according
to ft western report. Parry haa a record
of cWae to 100 feet' for throwing the sixteen-pound
hammer. This is all the more
remarkable because he tfirows with one
hand only. He haa a withered arm.
Whether that would not make wrestling an
Impossibility against' ft good two-handed
man, the western report does not set forth.
With the return of Eckersall to college
for the spring term to play baae ball for
the University of Chicago, there has been
revived some more talk about his absence, j
It was said that he had been In ft sporting
goods store partnership with two other
athletes, und the point Is raised as , to
whether he haa not thereby forfeited his
amateur standing. It Is likely that there la
nothing but talk In the whole affair, as
Erkeraall's record has shown him too
careful to make-errors of that kind.
The two collegiate meetings held In New
York were not productive of the results
anticipated along the line of narrowing
the gap- between the Intercollegiate Ath
letic association of the United Btatea and
five of the seven institutions which are
represented Independently on the foot ball
rules committee, which the Intercollegiate
association la especially anxious to enroll In
its membership.
It is not too much to say that th op
position of the larger colleges Is partly
political. If any member of the old foot
ball committee la asked about politics
within the committee, he will scoff and
deny the existence of such influence. Never
theless, politics Is there, and alwaya has
been. " It was through nothing else the
fear that unfavorable legislation to one
or another Interest might follow that pre
vented the rescission of the unanimous
consent requirement of the old cominlttee,
and It was the necessity of unanimous con
sent that alone prevented the reformation
of the game previous to 19 In answer to
the popular demand. When the confer
ence college stepped In and demanded
needed reformation they accomplished the
abrogation of that prohibitive condition.
The old foot ball committee will not,
however, give tha conference colleges even
that credit. On the aighesc authority It can
be stated that a split In the old committee
waa Imminent at that time on that point
of unanimous consent and at leaat three
colleges were prepared to withdraw from
the foot ball committee, provided the
unanimous consent rule was not suspended.
This Is a bit of Inside history that has
never heretofore become known, and It is
evidence. Incidentally, that there wss poli
tics, and plenty of It. In the old committee.
There are five Institutions standing out
ssslnst coalition with the new ass.iclatlnn.
These are Tale. Harvard, Princeton. Cor
nell and Annap ills. Annapolis Is restrained
probably more by the prominence of Wet
Point In the new association than by any
other Influence. Harvard saya. In general,
"What's the use? We are doing the sam
work ourselves." Yale frankly says that
It does not want to sink Its Individuality
In a trenera! association when It has no
personal Heed to reform, and Princeton
does not ray much of anything. Cornell
points to the failure of the old Brown con
ference as the reason why It does not so
the advantages of the new association, Ig
noring the fact that conditions were dif
ferent at that time.
The cnly crltlclsns that hns been di
rected against the new association comes
from Cornell. It Is said that the associa
tion does not bind Its members to any
thing, and the Individual colleges need not
apply such principles as are enunciated
by the majority; that It Is Impossible to
enact one set of regulations that will fit
local conditions, even were . the rulings
of the association binding. To this the
projectors of the movement reply that
they do not seek to do more than wield
a moral Influence; that a beneficent senti
ment chj be aroused and maintained only
by constant agitation and thnf ii.
vast reforms have been nrcpmpllshed

tation. Cornell further objects to the recogni
tion of any Individual Institution by giving
It permanent representation on a legisla
tive committee, even though It be one of
them, clulmlng it Is subversive of the dem
ocratic principles. Furthermore It says
that any permanent assurance to that
effect cannot be given, and any resolution
granting It might be rescinded at any fu
ture meeting of the association after the
big colleges had Joined.
Yet, In the last analysis. It Is the fear
of Messrs. Camp. Fine, Bell. Dashlel and
the rest that they Individually may be de
Posed that Is the real objection. These
men have done an immense amount of
good for foot ball and are the most com
petent men In the United States to legis
late for the game. They know the sport
thoroughly from A to Z. They are not
only competent to Judge of the effects of
present legislation, but competent to frame
new rules to meet new conditions. It
would be folly-such a folly as the con
ference colleges came near committing
when they were fortunately prevented by
Messrs. Pierce and Wllllams-to think of
replacing them Individually. Th.Ve Is noth
ing further from the mind of the leaders
In the association at present and It Is not
likely to enter their minds for some time.
Yet as long as the nresent n.niiinn.

association Is bound to win finally, even

When Oscar Wassem and Farmer Burns
meet at the Auditorium February 27 the
people of Omaha should be treated to a
first class wrestling match, for both hold
positions at the top of their class. Wassem
looked small when he met Matt Simmers
Inst week, but he is larger in every wuv
than Farmer- Burns. Wassem Is J9 years
old and has wrestled Burns but once, ten
years ago, when It took the farmer over
thirty minutes to get a fall out of him.
Since that time Wassem has devoted his
attention principally to wrestling and
teaching wrestling until at present he is
the equal of any at his weight. He has
made a host of friends during his stay in
Omaha and will not be a stranger when
he goes on the mat with the farmer a
week from Wednesday. Wassem Is noted
nil over the country for the great strength
,.hJ8J,eckl whlch was shown In his match
with Simmers, when he was able to bridge
against the overwhelming weight of Sim
mers. In speaking of Charles Hacken
schmldt. Wassem said he was one of tho
strongest wrestlers In the business and

Sportsmen over the state are watching
with considerable interest the new game
bills which are now In the legislature.
One of them, which absolutely prohibits
the selling of game birds or. fish at any
time has already passed both houses. An
other bill, which closes the quail season
entirely, hss passed the house and Is now
In the hands of the senate committee on
fish and game. This committee Is now
watching a scrap between some of the
senators from the northwestrn part of the
state and a number, of sportsmen. Some
of the people from the lake district in the
northwest are clamoring to have sir-lng
shooting of ducks cut out entirely. Th.,.
say the ducks nest In their part of the
state during the spring months and ought
to be protected.
The sportsmen who object to being de
prived of the spring sport are crowding the
lobbies of the hotels and buttonholing
members in an effort to defeat the pro
posed amendment. The prospects are said
to be good for a compromise, to open up
fifteen days of quail shooting; In the first
f)Mlf of November and cutting off the
duck season April 1, Instead of April 15.
The outcome will be awaited with, a good
deal of Interest by the sportsmen.

MEN OF ALL AGES
no mutter In what walk of life, whose weakened vitality, ex
hausted energies and shattered nerves tell a pitiable story, an l
who are In condition of extreme peril unless promptly rescued,
caused In many cases by lgnornnceor neglect, these are the very
men we want to talk to and help.
What can be more pitiable than to see ft young man. who Is
Just budding Into manhood, drooping and fading away In tb"
springtime of life? Disease svn robs the face of Its color and
the eyes of their brightness The stooping form, liutgfld step
and downcast countenance reveal to the critical eye the blight of
his existence, but this is only the shadow of outward mark of the
trouble existing within, and the young man soon passes from
the boundaries of health Into the confines of disease. He Is
nervous, easily confused, absent-minded, forgetful, continually
possessed of doubts nnd fears, shy, suspicious. Irritable, avoids
society and wfuild rather be alone. The system unstrung, he
has headache, backache, palpitation of the heart, shortness of
breath, dizziness, deranged stomach, torpid liver, weak kidneys,
poor circulation, and Is tired, lifeless and worn out. He lacks
ambition, confidence and courage.
If you are ailing call and consult with us without delay. We
will holn you escape from the slavery that Is holding you cap
tive and depleting your manho.vl.
U Is a!d that a drowning man will grasn at a straw. How
many weak, nervous, drowning, sinking men are grasping at
straws today to aret cured of their aliments (diseases), which are
dragging them down to the bottom of the sea of despair and
misery? Why not awaken to the reallrstVin Of the fact today
that boasting promises of quick cures, misleading statements and
unbusinesslike, propositions to the afflicted are hut straws that

THE SLBGHTBfSG EF
FECTS OF DISEASE
Wenkness Is malady thnt'robs man of his spirit, ambition
and force. The nerve, self-assertion and stamina are killed by
It. The courage that leads manly men to smile at fate and
continue to flirht Is destroyed. Thousands of young men. middle-aged
and old men can look bark to their boyhood days or
early manhood with a sigh of remorse. The ignorance of
early youth has sown the seeds of future suffering.
Nature passes no act without affixing the penalty for Its
violation. When she is outrnged she will have her penalty,
although It takes a life. When, through violation of her Im
mutable laws In early life, man wastes away his nerve and
bodily vigor, he Is then compelled to struggle under the dis
advantages which Impedes his progress and defeat his ends.
He ran scarcely hope to compete with those of his fellows
who, possessing equal opportunities, have all their faculties
unimpaired and bodily energies at their best. When a man Is
In a weakened condition, which Is In'-onHlstent with health.
Strength and vigor and which rentiers him unfit for tlie active
duties and pleasures of life, he Is n-arlng the danger point
and should secure Immediate attention.
Millions of men have been wrecked through Ignorance anl
neglect. The trouble Is not so much that they have digressed
from nature's Immutable law, but that they have permitted
the trouble to Inslduously progress and become more aggra
vated. They allow It to progress, all the time becoming
more chronic and deeply seated. This fart la usually re
sponsible for about nine-tenths of the suffering. You should
remember that most diseases are progressive In their nuts re.
They must be conquered by proper treatment or they will
devastate your syst?m and blight your future career and
prospects. i

Omaha, Nebraska.
Dear Sir:
I take the liberty of writing these few lines to you unsolicited.
I went on one of your hoineseeker's excursions to Alliance, Neb., stopped off going
and coming, and saw such fine sections open to entry, and some so easily contested, that
I did not know which to select, but finally I filed on a section in. Grant county, one and
one-half miles from Whitman. The section contains 300 acres of valley land.
I found all sorts of settlers who had been there two or more years, happy and con
tented, with plenty to eat, good houses to live in, the finest and purest water, close to the
surface, well fixed financially, and with plenty of stock. I will go back in a few months,
and take my son with me, who will also file on a section in that county.
I had made three trips before this to homestead lands in other states, and had about
given up hope of finding anything that would suit me, but I was not long in deciding
after I went over this land. I think it is the home for the renter or poor man, or any
one else that wants to get cheap lands and make money, and anyone from this section
of the country, inquiring in regard to this land, you can refer to me, and I will cheer
fully give my experience while out there.
Thanking you and the employes of the C, B. & Q. Ity. for the courteous treatment
while on this trip, I remain, Yours truly,
W. E. Wiley.
Personally conducted homeseeker's excursions the first and third Tues
day ol eaclhnonth to Alliance. Stopovers allowed in homestead Counties.
