A long while ago over 15.900 worth of seats had been Bold and It now ieem that all Beats In the park have been ex hausted and standing room Is the only available apace for the big game. That the Drummers are looming up atrong is shown by the way they are trimming the major league tonms which are appealing before them. The mighty Red Sox first tram lost a game to Ht. Joseph on April but the next day they came back with a real pltcber In - the box and hammered out thirteen runs and fourteen hits, while tha Drummers failed to score and got" but two scratch hits. However, St. Joseph is considered to be among the foremost teams this year and the Way they are going Into practice Is startling to say the least. The lirummere have at least got a bunch of pitchers who are going to do things this year from reports from that town. Tim mrrman, Matrhan, Kaufman and Crutcher are being relied upon to- help the Drummers It to first place. Teal May ie In the- Game.

About that time, however, base ball will be setting behind tha horizon. Wichita claims to have a pennant win ntng aggregation also.- A scribe on one of the Wichita papers thinks the pitching staff la next to Invincible and says: "The Wichita pitching ataff is gradually round Ing Into better shape. The only problem that la confronting Iahell now ta what ones to let go, when all of them are In Western league class.

Nearly all the weeding out process Is over and "Babe' Townc is nf the opinion that he has a team now which be can depend upon to bring home the lun-un. Ijln-nln and Denver both claim to be In. the race and expect to land first honors. The Antelopes are certainly strong this year Htid are expected to make a great showing. The way they have been after the ocpoflnn teams in exhibition games Is a caution and Hie beginning to create a stir among the manageis of the other teams.

Invitations to the convention have been fcuojed to represemativi"s of comerclul clubs through out the Inland Knipire, also to owners of lopfted-off srcB and especially to those settlers, who have demonstrated the practicability of removing stumps by In expensive processes. Tbe railway com psnles have also been invited to send representatives. It will be the purpose of the convention to gather data on all of the essential details necessary to Induce prospective settlers, who are not discour aged at the prospect of hard labor to get onto these cheap and remarkably fertile lands. Men who have made a success of farm ing on logged-off land will be invited to give what Information, they can as to the best methods of cultivating and what, In trelr belief. Is the most practicable way of removing the stumps. The popular methods employed are dynamiting, burn ing and charcoaling. The 'latter method Is used with great success on the Pacific coast and consists of boring a hole In the center of the log and through the side, thus creating a direct draft.

These sour and ferment, causing uric acid, which is absorbed from the stomach and intestines into the blood. This changes the circulation from a thick, rich fluid to a thin, acrid stream, depositing inflammatory matter into the mus cles, nerves, and joints. The longer the blood is allowed to remain in this impure condition the more severe will Rheumatism become. Gradually the muscles harden and lose their elasticity, the joints begin to stiffen, aud fre quently calculous deposits form knots at the finger joints. There is just one way to CURE Rheumatism, and that is to cleanse the blood of the uric acid poison. S. S. S., by removing every particle of the cause and ri'RIFYIM ; the blood, cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. eliminates the uric acid because it is the greatest of all blood purifiers. It filters out every trace of the sour, inflammatory matter, cools the aeid-heated blood, furnishes the mate rial for multiplying the rich, nutritious corpuscles of the circulation, and by its 6ne tonic effects assists the system to rapidly overcome the effects of the disease.
