RODRKE TWIRLERS
LIMBER UP MUSCLES
If Good Weather Continues
, Tour Slabsters Will Soon
Be Ready to Go.
CURBIE LOOKS LIKE GOODS
LIf. the well known weather man
who is so generously and graciously
providing this Florida weather keeps
up the goodVwork the rest of the
week Pa Rourke's hurling corps will
be in condition to throw in the high
gear and put on full speed ahead by
the time the rest of Pa's athletes, ar
rive on the scene of action.
Four Rourke hurlers are in camp
and a fifth is speeding toward Omaha
and should arrive here today, unless
Mr. Calvin's railroad gets mixed up
with another snow blockade. The
slab artists already at work are Otto
Merz, Cecil Thompson, Murphy Cur
rie and young Wyman. Wayne Bar
ham is due to arrive today.
This Currie person, who made his
first appearance in a uniform yester
day, looks like he would be a pretty
good pitcher, and Rourke expects
him to be a big success in the West
ern. Of course, Currie merely tossed
a few yesterday. He didn't even try
to pUt any speed on the ball. But he
has a graceful motion that would in
dicate he knows his business, and al
though only a youngster 21 years old
seems to have a base ball head.
Enthuses Over Tony.
Pa Rourke is quite enthusiastic
over Tony Brottem. iTony has all
the earmarks of a nifty ball player.
Pa also has received mighty flattering
reports of Tony's ability. Some of
the St. Louis experts are still won
dering why the Cardinals let Tony
come to "Omaha even though the
Cards have two of the best catchers
in the business, Snyder and Gonzales.
Shag Thompson joined his mates
yesterday. Shag is tickled to . get
back to Omaha and declares he in
tends to have the most sensational
season of his career. Rourke be
lieves Shag is just starting to deliver
and will this year conclusively prove
his major league ability.
Joe Burg and Harold Irelan also
were working out yesterday, making
the total number of Rourkes already
on the job eight.

HOWARD SAND Bill
Measure Gives State Royalty
on Product From Biver
Beds.
BOOTH) TO OBEATE FIGHT
(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, March 21. (Special.)
Lieutenant Governor Edgar Howard
Howard asserted his- prerogative as
president of the senate today and
peremptorily ordered out from the
miscellaneous subjects committee
Senator Howell's famous sand bill,
S. F. 16.
In so doing, at the request from
the floor of the author of the bill,
he invoked the senate rule which al
lows a bill to be demanded from a'
committee after it has been in that
committee's hand four days.
Senator Bennett of Douglas, chair
man of the committee, explained
that he favored the reporting of the
bill for general file, but that the ma
jority of the committee were opposed
to it.
He asked the' senate for an exten
sion of time until 2 o'clock this after
noon, to get the committee together
again. It was granted. The com
mittee must now either report it for
general file or for postponement.
Senator Gates, a member of the
committee, declared himself opposed
to the measure. He did not go into
its merits or demerits. Senators Wil
lis and Wallace Wilson, Sawyer,
Mattes and Albert are the other com
mittee members.
; The bill requires that firms getting
sand, gravel or oil from creek or
river beds pay the state board of
irrigation a royalty of 5 cents a ton
for sand, 10 cents for gravel and 15
cents a barrel for oil.
Opponents of the measure say it
is calculated to impose a hardship
on certain firms competing with oth
ers who do not get sand from river
beds. Senator Jack Grace, at the last
session, denounced the measure as
pernicious. It has failed of passage
in two previous sessions.

FURTHER OUT IS PLANNED
(From a Bt.ft CorrsspondsnL)
Lincoln, Neb., March 21. (Spe
cial.) That the postal service of the
country is rapidly developing a de
plorable condition is being shown
every day. Publication of the condi
tions, which exist and are likely to
continue, in The Bee is opening the
eyes of the public. '
Without any notice to the public a
mail car on No. 12, running from
Lincoln to Omaha over the Burling
ton, was taken off a week ago. By
taking off this car the capital city of
the state has no mail car into Omaha,
the metropolis, after 1:45 in the after
noon. ' ,
Today a postmaster from out in
the state stated to friends in the
statehouse that taking off of mail
cars on his line of road had had the
effect of delaying delivery along lines
running out of his town from five to
six days. He refused to give his
name and requested 'that the town
even from whence he came 1 should
not be mentioned, for the reason that
it would injure him with the depart
ment, but he is a well known citi
zen, and what he said may be taken
as covering the situation. 1 .
It is said that all mail cars on lines
called "one-man lines" are to be taken
off as soon as possible and this is
having the effect of demoralizing
business just at a time when, as stat
ed in the resolutions passed by the
house yesterday, the pest of mail
service should be had.

rltish Report on Ships
Destroyed in One Week
London, March 21. A British of
ficial communication issued this even
ing says that for the week ending
March 18, sixteen British ships, each
of a tonnage of more than 1,600 were
sunk, and eight of a tonnage under
1,600 tons. Twenty-one fishing ves
sels also were sunk.
The communciation also gives the
number of vessels arriving and sail

SKIN ABLAZE
WITH ECZEMA
Constant Itching Al
most Unbearable
Only those afflicted with Ec
zema, with its terrifying irrita
tion and ceaseless itching know
what constant torture this dis
ease can cause. The disease ap
pears in different ways, some
times with a reddening and irri
tation of the skin, sometimes in
the form of blisters. Other
cases of Eczema take the form
of a dry, scaly condition of the
skin that cracks and peels. But
no matter in what form the dis
ease appears, it is a source of
constant fiery irritation that is
well-nigh', unbearable.
Eczema is very often consid
ered a skin disease. This is a
natural mistake, as it attacks
the skin and it is through the
skin that it causes so much dis
comfort and suffering. But the
real seat of the disease is the
blood. The germs of Eczema
are in the blood, and the irri
tated and diseased condition of
the skin is the result of the
germs trying to break out of
the system. Beyond the use of
antiseptics to promote cleanli
ness, there is no local treat
ment that will accomplish a
permanent cure of this disease.
And those who have been rely
ing altogether upon salves,
soaps, ointments and other
local applications to the skin
will find that no permanent
good will come from such
treatment by itself, I
Read how Basil M. Lanneau,
who resides on Confederate
Avenue, in Atlanta, Oa., found
relief from this terrifying dis
ease, after all local treatment
had failed. He writes:
Don't Delay Taking Duffy's
until news dispatches announce the annual epidemic of
grip. Get Duffy's now and build sufficient stamina to
withstand grip and pneumonia to which you are constant
ly exposed.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
has long been recognized by the profession and laity as
one of the most effective remedies and preventatives of
grip, pneumonia, coughs, colds and diseases' of the res
piratory organs. 'Unprejudiced physicians readily recom
mend and use it in practice and hospital work, because of
its absolute purity and quality. It is acceptable to the most
delicate stomach, as it is made from the choicest of grains
thoroughly malted and requiring little effort of the diges
tive organs. If taken in tablespoonful doses in equal
amounts of water or milk before meals and on retiring it
assists in checking the disease, helps prevent wasting of
the tissues and helps the stomach to more perfectly digest
and assimilate food. Fortify your system by taking Duffy's
regularly. " . r
