We are infested with no end of hotel
thieves, nearly every day some fresh
robbery occurs. The Holland, Wal
dorf Astoria and other first-class places
are no exception to what occurs in less
favored quarters. There is no doubt
that something will have to be done to
protect guests from constant invasion

September A good baseball team is nearly
indispensable 20 city and this city should
have one. The hardest part CT the work
has already been accomplished. A grand
stand has been erected and a good sub
stantial fence built and a good location
secured and now all that Is necessary is
to have a team, which can easily be Sc
cured. provided support Of the right kind
is forthcoming. Today a subscription
paper will be started and the business
men viii be asked to subscribe monthly
from one. two or five dollars as they feel
able each month toward paying salaries.
1t is calculated by those who have had ex-
perlence that 500 viii see the club through
during the threee hot weather months
and it will be a diversion and q place 10

Those who have taken hold OF the matter
are absolutely responsible and are very
enthusiastic and It now looks as If with

The following well known gentlemen
were elected as a board Of directors: B.
L. Eaton, Edward Vail, Joseph Miller, B.

was elected president, W. S. Henrion,
secretary, and c. w. Carey, treasurer. A
committee was chosen from among the
directory to solicit subscriptions from the
business men. The secretary was instruc-
ted to correspond with players who have
been playing in the Texas and Southern
leagues and recently disbanded. They ex-
pect to have as good a team as there is IN
the west and at very little expense. The
gentlemen who are interestd are devoting
their time and giving their money purely
for the love of the game and in no sense
are in 1t for the purpose OF 'Alking any
money out of it. One of the players will
be made manager and none but players
will receive any emoluments. No season
tickets or passes will be issued and with
economy a first class club can pull
through the season and give this city
first class article Of ball. The Atchison
club has written to the Eagle saying that
they would be willing TO come here and
finish the season; no action as yet has
been taken in regard to It. A splendid
club can be obtained on short notice and
