CAN'T PLAY BALL.
Wichita Players Get Beaten by Dick.
lnson Teams.

The Wichita baseball team, called
the Cash Hendersons after q mercan-
tile establishment that probably fur
nished the suits, has been o'erleaping
itself in tackling the Dickinson
county players. They played Her.
ington Tuesday afternoon and were
defeated by . to 6. Wednesday a
game was played at Enterprise with
the Millers Of that place. About 40
Abilene people went down to see the
sport, anticipating a lively contest
but were sadly disappointed. From
the time that the game commenced
until its close the Wichita players
painfully demonstrated the fact that
they were not cut out to play ball.
The scorer was Disguised with the
effort to keep track Of errors and gave
it up. The Millers didn't exert them
selves in the last few innings so that
the score was not as one sided as 1t
might have been. Seven innings
ended the game, the score being "a
to in the Millers' favor. Jones, Of
Wichita, was umpire.
The battery for the Millers is Som
mers and Staatz, and the team con-
sists Of H. Wagner, Koch, Houseiord,
Sommers, F. Wagner, VanNorstrand,
Hcilman, Sherwood and Staatz and
make an exceedingly strong combina-
ton. They expect to play with the
Minneapolis team next Friday at Sp.
M, at Enterprise.
The Millcrs have been victorious in
every game played this season and II
rather looks as II Abilene would be
compelled to organize team to take
some conceit out Of them. II could
be done.

Just What's Needed

Exclaims thousands Of people who
have taken Hoods Sarsaparilla at this
season Of the year, and who have
noted the success Of the medicine in
giving them relief from that tired
feeling, waning appetite and state Of
extreme exhaustion after the close
confinement Of long winter season,
the busy time attendant upon large
and pressing business during the
spring months and with vacation
time yet some weeks distant. 1t is
then that the building-up powers Of
Hoods Sarsaparilla are fully appreci-
ated. II seems perfectly adapted to
overcome that prostration caused by
change Of season, climate or life, and
while 1t tones and sustains the sys-
TEN, it puriiies and vitali2es the blood.

ton; 1876 are irrigated, Of which 1903

Is Not a Candidate.

J, 6. Lands Of Hayes was in the
city and remarked to the REFLECTOR
that the Pops were all wrong in list
ing him as a candidate for sheriff.
II told them last spring that my
health would not permit my being a
candidate" he said, ''and do not in
tend to change my mind" We
suspect that Mr.. Lands has too much
good sense to want to run on a losing
ticket and is to be congratulated on
his decision. The $50 or so who
think the office is "seeking" them
will see it the same way later.
