Sprudel salt is very diffusable and passes into
the blood Of the body with facility. Its pl es-
ence in the blood with oxygen insures the grad
ual oxidation of the organic constituents of
that fluid; undoubtedly the albuminous ele-
ments of the blood-the carbohydrates the
fats-are similarly oxidized. The fact that the
Carlsbad salts powder form) cause the elimi-
nation OF the products of the increased meta
mOrphosis Of tissue indicates that it has med
icinally. very wide range. 1t is used with
great advantage in many stomach disorders as
an excess of acid is undoubtedly relieved by it.
The indigestion of obese or fatty persons is
usually cured by Carlsbad salt. Where oxida-
tion is deficient, as in the well-known bilious
state, relief is quickly afforded, and in cases of
chronic rheumatism and rheumatic gout good
results are obtained. The Carlsbad Sprudel
salt, obtained by evaporation from the hot
Sprudel spring. may be taken dissolved in
Carlsbad water or in ordinary hot water.

A Few Matters of History.

II is far from my intention to in any way even
snsinuate that everything that can be done by
our home magnates to make good team is not
being DONE l am free to admit that nobody
could hustle harder than President O'Ne1ll
has been doing, but while acknowledge this 1
fail TO see where the good results are to be
found. 1t seems to me that history is about to
repeat itself as far the local club is concerned
and we know what that means. Time and time
again we have been led to believe that one of
the best ball teams in the country was going 70
be located here. Just as often as we have been
been disappointed. and the indications for a
great team are not of the brigh est now. True
we have claims on Mack and Bierbauer;
claims that L am afraid we'll have to make
good. But these two men, although good ones,
cannot make a team. So far l have noticed
little signs of securing frst-class pitching
material, and depend upon 1t, we need
some good pitchers. Young phenomenons
may be all right at particular times, but we
want some everyday men; pitchers who have
out-lived their phenomenal period and have
become good and useful men. A month or
two ago everyone of US who are at all inter-
esred in our team thought that there would be
nothing to do but 60 and get all the stars we
wanted. The magnates of the National
League assisted in spreading this opinion, but
as soon as the trouble" was all fixed every
magnate. magnanimous magnates, rushed of to
hook every blessed thing worth hooking.
When this spirit is displayed it is not incuul-
bent on the public to give its entire sympathy
TO the National League To put it mildly, many
of the National League magnates are not what
they would have us believe they are and the
majority of those of them who have the power
never fail to use it to make themselves stronger
and other people weaker.

Some Words About Ward.

There is now no hope of Wards coming to
this city to play next season. All the promises
and pledges that have been made have merely
heen idle talk. The truth is 1 am now inclined

10 come to PIttsburg. / say this mindful of the
fact that he told Messrs. Hanlon and o'Neill
he would like TO play here; indeed, 1 am in

There have been no revelations" Of note
during the week in the baseball world. OF
course, there has been plenty of talk, but
little has been done of importance, most be-
cause there was very little to be done. The
msgnates OF each team are interesting them
selves as much as possible in getting good
men together, and, while some clubs are
looking better than ever they looked, some
are apparently in the same rut. So it is
safe to say that the old-fdshioned disparity
in the teams will exist as usual. cannot
help thinking of the evident pandering
there is to what is called the "big"
magnates of the League by the
little ones. Take for instance the
case of New York. 1t really had three
teams to select from, or. at least, part of
three. About year ago the proprietors of
the Giants were in such a miserable nx that
the balance of the National League had to
come to the front and assist them in securing
the indianapolis team, or I may be more
correct in saying the cream o. the Indianap-
ellis team. Other players were signed and
q new team was made up. Now comes the
time when the P. L. is exploded,
and the New York magnates also
get their pick Of that team known
as the New York P. L. club. Now will any
BODY tell me wherein a weak club has had any,
thing like a show such as / have spoken Off
When New York was in such plight last win
ter Pittsburg was worse, but Pittsburg was not
allowed one good man from Indianapolis. Now
New York is much better and Pittsburg is still
down at heel" yet the former has the power,
and beyond all, the desire to reach out for
everything IN sight that is Of WORTH and the
small people of the great League are pOwerless
to prevent il. Surely the public has right to
support such q magnanimous corporation as
the National League. Why, greater generosity
would be found among pirates; even among that
class of individuals 1 have read that there
exists desire to help each other along. fail
to notice such desire among National League
magnates. Their policy cannot be labeled
other than Gradgrind policy and grasping
policy,

Mack and Bierbauer,

Pittsburg is in such good repute among base
ball people and SO many magnates are breaking
their necks to rush and help our club that the
other people, and great many Of those gener-
Gus potentates of baseball are arguing that
Pittsburg has no claim on either OF the players
at all. This is very consoilng, indeed. Ger
taInly our magnates will make a fight, but we
have fought before and lost But how in the
name of common sense can any of those very
generous maguates claim that Pittsburg has no
right to either Mack or Bierbauer2 If Boston
can claim Mack, surely we can claim the other
player, because il Mack was not reserved
neither was Bierbauer. Those people who
argue that neither player can come
TO Pittsburg are the class of peo-
pie who want everything and are Just
the kind Of people that baseball can do without
We are having too much of the wolf principle
Just now. The case, or cases. are very simple,
and they, as far as can Judge, need only a
brief investigation. With Blerbauer the cues
tion is: Was be on the reserve list of the Amer
ican Association as required by law7 If he was
not then he must come to Pittsburg. But there
are two points in the case of Mack. One is the
question: Was Mack reserved by the National
League according TO Iaw9 and who signed first
when permission for signing players was re-
Gently given? II Mack was reserved by the
National League he comes to Plrtsburg If he
not so reserved and was signed first bv
Pittsburg, in accordance with the recent rules
then be comes to PIttsburg. l don't for one
moment intend to argue in favor of securing
any player illegally. What Pittsburg wants is
fair play, and it is not getting that when we
consider all the big promises and pledges made
by League potentates during the latter part OF
last season.

Across the Atlantic.

While there are prospects of several prom
inent glove contests here our cousins across the
Atlantic are not idle. Report has it that
Mitchell and Slavin may fight to finish with
bare fists. II appears that the bad feeling be-
tween the two IS getting stronger, and that
satisfaction can only be had inside the ring 1
am not surprised at this as far as Mitchell is
concerned, because l firmly believe that he is
ready TO go into M-foot ring with any man in
the world. / know for certain that he very
strongly believes in his ability to defeat Slavin
in a 24foot ring. Mitchell declared himself
definitely to me on this point last year. We know
that Mitchell is one of the trickiest of customers
and has implicit faith IN his ability to do
wonderful things In q ring. may also be
allowed to remark that Mitchell by comparison
is a great bare knuckle fighter because there
are SO few very good ones before the public.
But we don't know what Slavin is If he is the
rusher in a prize-ring fight that he is in glove
fight, Mitchell would defeat him. At any rate
II the two men in question would fight would
think it very safe to say that Mitchell would
not lose. When he cannot defeat an opponent
be soon knows. and he prevents that opponent
from defeating him. There Is another
prospective fight "across the pond" refer
to the proposed battle between Jem Carney
and Burgess. 1t may be that few people In this

The New York Deal.


What mean by the New York deal is the
exhange of President O'Neilrs claim on John
Ward for Bassett. Whistler and Burkett In one
respect that deal wasn't bad one for either
party In no way could our energetic President
getWard, so that the three players were probably
better than nothing at all. The New York team
had no use for the three players. and, as sell
ing" was done, the very best thing that could
be done was to give them away. In this re-
spect the deal was unique. The gamers were
those who secured the services of Ward and
those outside of the Brooklyn club who would
gam most by his being In Brooklyn. These
we're the New York magnates. don't see how
Mr., O'Neil could do other than ac-
cept the three men, but since he has
TO advantage. According TO rumor Burkett is
to stay here and play in the outfed He is to
stay chiefly because be is likely to become q
great player, not because he is one already.
We once had a gentleman named Beecher who
was signed under similar conditions. am not
disparaging Burkett. He may develop into all
that is claimed; but l do contend that we have
been going through the developing process long
enough. 1t is claimed that Whistler is one of
the best inhelders In the country and promises
TO be star" II there is any truth at all
IN this statement, and it appears there is
why could Whistler not make Pitts.

play third base; why can't he play third heref

In favor of his being superior TO Mulvey.
BasseJt is q good player We all have seen him
do great things, and it would be strange If
among so many clubs containing good players
good third baseman could not be secured in
exchange for Bassett. But we might be glad TO
keep Bassett ourselves.

Dixon and Mccarthy.

There certainly are plenty of colored pugilists
before the country at this stage. Besides
Jackson and Godfrey we have Dixon to the
front again, and before many days are over he
will face Cal Mccarthy another time. This is
an exceedingly interesting contest and / ex-
pect that there will be some heavy betting on
the result. The men have fought before and
the result was draw. In the early part of the
battle Mccarthy broke his hand and fought fully
an hour in that crippled condition. Both
pugllisrs are very good men; in fact. they will
rank among the best of feather weights that
have been before the world for many years.
Mccarthy has had a very brilliant record. He
is an extremely active and clever little fellow
in the ring. He is q two-handed fighter and
has excellent judgment Dixon is also very
active little man, but ne lacks the intelligence
of Mccarthy. Dixon's battle with Wallace
goes for very little with me; indeed, I scarcely
consider ii battle at all. The colored man has
also been considerably busy for a long time
while Mccarthy has been INDUCING more or
less in the luxuries of life. Still think that
Mccarthy will get into good condition, and if
he does, will be disappointed if he is not
hailed the winner.

S.TurCk 81 Co.'S. Bank

Last Monday afternoon young fel-
low calling himself Fl. A. Metten and
purporting to be on the road for a firm
in Philadelphia dealing in fertilizers
called on Harvey Button and requested
him to go with him to the bank and
identify him as he wanted check
from the firm cashed. Mr.. Button who
had met him several times during the
past two weeks did not hesitate to &C.
cede to his request and stepping into
w. 5. Turck ~ Co.'s bank introduced
him to the assistant cashier, Mr. Brew
baker and also indorsed his check. The
The check WAS for S27.00 and was
drawn on Churchill & Webber, bankers,
of Shelby and was signed by Wheeler
Bros. The appearance of the man be-
ing all right and the identification
seeming complete the money was paid.
Later, however, something in the man s
actions seemed to excite Mr.. Buttons
suspicious and he telegraphed the bank
at Shelby. The result was that late in
the afternoon telegram was received
very emphatically denouncing the
whole thing as forgery. G.. S. Ward
cashier for w. s. Turck & Co. had a
warrant issued by Justice Dunham and
placed in the hands Of officer Leonard
who started out to look up the torger
1t was learned that short time before

him at the Harrington where he was

step into another room when the fellow
made break for the stove and threw
INTO it several papers. Mr.. Button was
watching him closely however and was
equally prompt in getting them out
One proved to be note for Sl23.50 and
another of Sl25 arranged for use
at Mt. Pleasant. He was brought back
to Alma where he admitted the whole
affair to Mr.. Button and gave back
what money he had left, some $1,000.
Wednesday morning he sent telegram
to his mother in indianapolis. Metten's
parents are said to be wealthy.
