la It better policy to permit American
boxing to degenerate Into a scramble, In
which the eplrlt of tha sport hall be de
graded for th eak of morbid dealr to
k lutes the application of brute force as
contreeted to a display of skill ? It ha
hern generally understood that when these
rule were formulated by tha marquis
whoae nam they bear h was Intereated
In doing away with- the Very fault to
which assistance la Indirectly lent when
two men wrestle around a boxing ring,
each holding the other with one arm and
"whaling" away with the free glove when
eer an opporunlty offers.
So far as "Diggers" .Stanley is con
cerned. It la not in the least Inappropriate
to say that his exhibition wa a flat and
bitter disappointment, coming a he doe
from a country which haa boasted that
its boxing Is free of the fault which are
everely criticised In American.
According to th English Idea of the
spirit of American boxing, the "bigger"
a a as Utter perfect as If he had been
brought up In our own boxing circles, and
that may be taken a It etand for Amer

t barlea H. Kbketa Retaras.
When the steamship t'ogmo docked yes
terday Charles H. Ebbete, president of the
lirooklyp Base Ball ' club, disembarked
after a pleasant voyage through the West
India Island. HI latest port of call, prior
10 arriving In New York, wa .San Juan,
i . i' Rico.
...ic l Ponce 'Mr. Ebbets was Im
p.iKttd into srvlcin a twelve-inning con
test a umpire. "1 have Uleoovered." he
i emarked upon hit arrival home, "that
theie are more things in this umpire bual
nfi than were dreamt of by Horatio or
any of the other well known dreamers.
At that 1 must observe that the ball play
era of the Island treated me handsomely,
not only ae umpire, but a an active base
boll club owner. They Invited me to take
the Brooklyn to Puerto Rico for a training
trip, and It I a really delightful place for
outdoor work, although It I out of the
question to make the Journey this year. I
told them that after the season Is over in
tbe United State there might be a chance
that Brooklyn would visit th islands, and
play not only In the cities of Puerto Rico,
but in other cities of th Island group.
"There Isn't a doubt that It would make
a hit. They are every bit a enthusiastic
about base ball throughout that section of
the world at leaat almost every bit aa we
are In the United Statee. The aport la
making great headway throughout all of
that part of the globe."
(baasea la the Dsie Hall Rales.
At the preaent moment it doe not ap
pear that any change will be made In tho
playing rule for baa ball In 111. There
I no aggravated demand for change
There are om who believe that a few
modification might not hurt th gam,
but they are not Insistent la clamoring
that they shall be made.
bo long ae the great American public
seems to enjoy thoroughly It base ball
and it will alwaye do ao unleae all game
become tie game, for' whea 'Torn" Smith
goes home grumpy after bis pe( team
loses, "Bill" Jones beoome hilarious to a
ogree which approaches Veurlli of July
morning. H Is not Incumbent on the baa
ball folks to remodel their prasent pleas
ant pastime.
If the game arrives at that stags, where
it dose not preseat sufflotent variety to
satisfy th most exacting, perhaps It will
be necessary to modify tbe rule a little
but somehow there doe not seem to be
een the vestige of a present opinion that
such a sltuatlgn I likely to arise very Im
mediately.
The old paallme look aa If It is fit to
land pretty well for another term of

TIGERS SOON TO GO SOUTH
Omaha Fans Will Witness Two Ex
hibition Games with Detroit.
DATES TO BE APRIL 3 AND 4
Borne of tbe t rli Liable to Accompany
tbe Necoud "quad, Which Will
Have Most of the
YiiisMlern.
When the letrolt Tigers come to Omaha
for two exhibition games with the Hourke
players on April !t and 4 the opening of the
season will be but a short distance away.
The Tigers will be divided Into two divi
sions, Omaha getting the second section of
the former champions.
Ten days hence the veteran Tigers will
be In Hot Springs working out Just a month
earlier thsn they went into camp last year.
February 2S the youngsters will hop va
rious rattler heaaVd for Monroe. I.a.,
where they will be joined a day or two
later by Manager Jennings and the veter
an. There Is a much different sentiment in
the jungle this spring than there was last
year. At that time the Tlg.rs, strengthened
as they hsd been by the acquisition of Del
ehanty and Tom Jones, figured the race a
mere picnic for them.
When the Tigers all get together for the
first lecture of Instructor Jennings at Mon
ro, there will be thirty-four of them, be
side th manager. Thirteen of them will
be pitcher. Keally there are elgbteen
pitchers on the Tiger staff, but five of
them, Hardin, Onslow, Pernoll, Ilenfee and
Hkeels, will go to minor league farms In
stead of south. lx of the pitchers are
veterans or near-vets Mullin, lonovan,
Wlllett, Summer, Works and Stroud. The
latter la the only one-year man on the list.
Maay Yosaiiteri.
The cube are La fltte, who went south
with the Tiger two yeara ago and pitched
league game or two before being side
tracked; lyoudel, Peasley,- both of whom
appeared on the slab long enough to get
knocked out; Cavltt, Covington. Lively and
Mitchell. Cavltt, Mitchell and Peasley are
southpaws. Peasley seemed to have some
ability In the part of games he appeared
In last fall, but lacked confidence to back
It up. The otber two are unknown except
to the scouts who recommended them. The
same may be said of three' of the right
banders, Cavltt, Covington and Lively.
There will be more game on the train
ing schedule than ever before. The veteran
will have seven early road contests In
March, th first one being exactly a month
after the veterans begin their Umbering up
at Hot Nprlngs. On March 15, New Orleans
will be tackled on their home ground. Th
Tiger will stay there the lttth, then to
Mobile 01. Patrick's day, for three days.
After that, a day at Montgomery and one
at Jackson. Th schedule of the trip north

MISSOURI'S CAPITOL BURNS
State House at Jefferson City Struck
by Lightning and Destroyed.
RECORDS GONE; LOSS ONE MILLION
Honae Papers Darned, bat Senate
area Documents Convicts Take
Part In Futile Fight to
Save Structure.
JKFFEKSON CITY, Mo., Feb. .-The
fire which destroyed the state house of
Missouri last night was still smoldering to
day and It la thought the flames have
reached the record vault In the basements.
Ten thousand copies of the reiTsed statutes
of lSk. which were stored In the basement,
were removed today. Money, bonds and
valuable state papers in the treasury vaults
were taken out.
The legislature will meet In temporary
quarters this afternoon and probably ad
journ until Friday, guarters for the state
offices will be chosen by Ojuvernor lladley
and a committee today.
I.iiai, Million Dollars.
The total loss, including the structure
and many record and atate papers in the
office of tho governor, secretary of state
and treasurer, 1 estimated at fl.OOO.OOJ,
with no Insurance. . ,
Lightning, which struck the cupula of
the dome shortly after 7 o'clock, Bpread
the flame .to . the. roof of the house of
representatives on the north side of the
structure and, In leas than a half hour It
wa apparent 0ia the entire building was
doomed.
Because of the. inadequacy of the water
pressure the fire , pould not be reached,
and no aid - could , be rendered for some
time by th local fire company.
Governor Hadley. personally directed the
flgbt against the flame, which, because
of the ag of th building, rapidly gained
great headway.
Coavtct Aid la Fight.
Th penitentiary ' fire department was
Immediately called to the scene and the
convict worked heroically, acaling walls
and taking dangerous chances for their
lives.
The local military company was called
out and formed a cordon around the build
ing, driving spectators from dangerous po
sitions and removing records from the dif
ferent stat departtnente.
The fire soon spread to the roof of the
senate chamber on th east side, wher
the efforts of the firemen proved unavail
ing to check it.
Lea-lalatlva Hecorde Burn.
The record of the preaent house of
representatives . were destroyed, while
those of the senate were saved. In the
state treasurer' office mora than SO.OJO
I In th time vault, supposedly fireproof,
and may be saved when th debria is
cleared away. There wa no Insurance.
The historic capitul waa ereoted In 1333
at a cost of S-tiO.uuo and In 187 waa re
modelled at a coat of t250,00u. While It
was built of stone, th roof was covered
with much Inflammable material, which
fed the flames and which r.pread rapidly
with tha falling of the dome Into the main
part of the structure.
The legislature will determine tomorrow
whether to continue He session here or
elsewhere In the stats. Some of th mem
ber favor continuing the session here,
wnere smaller buildings have been offered
by the business men, while other ar for
th removal of the legislature.
The Joss of the records practically
necessitates the work of the present ses
sion being don over.
At midnight a part of the Sedalia, Mo.,
fire department, which arrived after a run
of eixty-four miles on a special Missouri
Pacific train, joined the local forces in an
effort to save the records In the basement
of the building, the cement floors over
which are believed to be Intact.
Governor Hadley announced at midnight
that he would grant pardons to several
convicts who risked their lives to save
state papers.

opening date with Nebraska and South
Dakota has played the econd gam.
Overtures of Bellevue, upported by Ne
braska alumni, however, have caused the
Nebraska management to consider a game
with the Omaha college, and It Is not un
likely that a contest will be arranged for
this city.
Through a ruling of the Missouri valley
conference, adopted last year, teams of the
league are forbidden to play on grounds
not under control of one of the contesting
elevens. BecuiiHe of this regulation th
Cornhusker can play only two team In
this cit Crelghton and Bcllevu.
(ioixl Mupitorl In Omaha.
It is the desire of the Nebraska athletic
management to accede to the demands of
the Comhuakor alumni of Omaha and
swing a game into tills city. Omaha al
ways has supported Cornhusker athletic
in the best way possible.
Before relation were evered with
Crelghton, the contest in Omaha alway
waa looked forward to by the Nebraska
students, and, though It was known that
Nebraska would triumph, yet many hun
dred rooters came on from Lincoln to
sue the game und visit with friends In
Omaha, if the Bellevue contest can be
arranged, the student one more can be
gin running their excursion into this city.
H Is not probable that the Belevue col
legiuns would give thu CurnhUBker a
grueling contest, but they would be able
to put up stiff opposition, letting the vis
itors know they were In the game.
Bellevue Is one of the most popular col
leges In the stale and has a dear place
In the hearts of the Nebraska alumni. The
Cornhusker undergraduate also are
"strong" fur the Omaha college and would
like to see them taken on for a game.
Ilellevne Ktrona; Kchool.
Peru is usually no stronger In foot ball
than Bellevue and many times is not as
powerful. In fact, Bellevue Is one of tha
top notchers In college athletic of Ne
braska. It always play a clean game,
and never has the charge gone forth that
Bollevue had 'dirty" player or took un
fair advantage of Its opponents. If th
Cornhusker should give the Omaha col
lege a game it would probably find that
tho financial ecore would be much greater
than would that of a game with Peru
or South Dakota In Lincoln.
Alumni of the state school are willing to
guarantee the Cornhusker management a
greater sum than the gate' receipts of the
r u gum In Lincoln would ' net Ne
braska.
Omaha nlumni are strong supporter
of their alma mater and believe they de
serve a contest here. Bince none of the
big"- elevens can be brought here, It Is
thought to be only right that the Corn
huskers should let one pf the teams In
this city have a game on it home ground.

CATARRH
A SYSTEMIC BLOOD DISEASE
Catarrh is not merely aa affection
of the mucous membranes; it is a
deep-seated blood disease in which the
entire circulation and greater part of
the system are involved. It is more
romtuonly manifested in the head,
nose and throat, because of the sensi
tive nature of these membranes, and
also because they are more easily
reached by irritating influences from
the outside. The symptoms of Ca
tarrh, auch as a tight feeling in the
head, nose stopped up, throat clogjjed
and dry, hacking cough, etc., ehow
that the tiny blood vessels of the mu
cous membranes are badly congested
and inflamed from the impurities in
the circulation. To cure Catarrh per
manently the blood must be purified
and the system cleansed of all un
healthy matter. Nothing equals
6. S. S. for this purpose. It attacks
the disease at its
head, goes down
to the bottom of
the troubl and i
makes a complete
and lasting cure
by PURIFYING
the blood. Then
the inflamed
membranes begin
to heal, the bead is cleared, breathing
liecomes natural and easy, the throat
is no longer clogged, and every un
pleasant symptom of the disease dis
appears. S. S. S. is the greatest of all
blood purifiers, and for this reason is
the most certain cure for Catarrh.

Socialist Deputy in Berlin.
I'KltLIN, Feb ti Deputations from all
paits of Germany and from many foreign
organizations; and more than tflO.Onn persons,
took part todsy in the procession at the
funeral of Paul Singer, the socialist deputy,
whoso death occurred January .11.
It was the greatrst demonstration of the
kind ever trlvrn In honor of a private eltl
sen In Berlin. The procession took more
than four hours to pass a given point Ad
mission to the cemetery could only be had
by card. The police were out In full force,
but perfect order prevailed.
Herr Singer death and Herr Buhrl's
practical withdrawal from political ac
tivity because of III health opens up the
problem to whom the socialists will choose
as their new leader In the relchstag. The
Indication are that the leadership will go
to the new school of politicians, who favor
revision of the party' creed In the di
rection of practical present day problems,
rather than the theoretical mapping out
of the condition of oclety In a socialised
state. Herr Diets, deputy for Stuttgart,
is prominently mentioned aa the new leader.
