THE BASKETBALL
 SEASON OPENS UP
Exhibition Game Between Two Teams of Athletic Club
 Last Night

The first basket ball game of the season was played in the Athletic Club rooms last might by two teams composed of the "crack' players of the club. The contest was a good exhibition, but the boys showed lack of practice. They seemed to have con- siderable trouble in throwing the ball in the basket when they had a chance, and for that reason the score was kept down, the ''scrubs" winning by the narrow margin of one point
 The first half was almost ended before the first goal was thrown by the "scrubs, " but two or three foul goals followed in raid succession.
 In the last half the ''rummies' threw two field goals, giving them four points, but they could not make good the other point necessary to tie the score The scrubs did not score in the last half
 The lineup was as follows:
 Rummes. Position. Scrubs. Hney and Jones. center ...... ....Wellman Ferguson right forward .......... Dean Redd. left forward ...... Chairsell Warren. fright guard .... Underwood Fucker. left guard .... ...... McCaa
 A large number of ladies were present, and after the game the club gave dance.

M AKING INVESTIGATIONS
Mayor May Issue a Bombshell Order Against FiIth-McCartin At War With the Dust Devil and
 Demands More Help

'I am in hope that the City Council will give us more money to be expended in cleaning the streets" said Street Commits sioner John McCartin last night.
 We shall not ask for any great addi- tional appropriation. With proper arrange ments little money can be made to go long way in improving the present deplor- able condition of some of our streets and alleys.
 Tt seems now almost certain that I will be authorized to purchase several sprin- kling carts and street-sweeping machines, and if that be done it will be the means of bringing about something of the improved conditions so badly needed and so persist ently demanded by the public.
 As matters stand, with no sprinl1ing carts to go ahead of the sweepers at night, the beds of the streets are cleaned we'll enough but nearly everything else In reach is covered with dust-houses doors, windows, sidewalks, and whoever may be walking near by at the time of sweeping.
 Actually I have seen clouds of dust raised by the sweeping machines so thick and heavy that the drivers could not see their teamsi
 All tiiS Wlil De dNOlueu IT present. cOH- templated arrangements are carried out, and thereby we get the proper means for dealing with dust and other filth.
 "Tne Mayor Is very anxious that the streets and alleys be better cleaned. He has been driving over the city with me today, as well as yesterday, and he gave his special attention to certain alleys wherein the sanf tary laws are being violated to the extent of casting forbidden refuse around. rendering foul what are public highways of the city.
 Tt shouldn't surprise me if the Mayor is- sued orders for a widespread cleaning out of alleys and rear premises, such as was done several years ago when the men hav- ing the work in charge found every sort of article, from crate of crockery to a paper of pins
 "The Mayor has in tine last day or two seen enough to arouse his indignation, and I look for him to take emphatic action against all persons in the city who violate the sanitary regulations. The Mayor is de- termined that these regulations, essen- tial to cleanliness and the public health, shall be enforced, and l have no doubt that many rear premises need attention.
 "As for the streets, shall do everything possible with the money and appliances all lowed me to keep them clean," concluded the energetic commissioner of streets.

HEALrH AND BEAUTY.

A poor complexion is usually
the result of a torpid liver or ir-
regular action of the bowels.
Unless natures refuse is carried
off it will surely cause impure
blood. PimpIes, boils and other
eruptions follow. This is nature
method of throwing off the poisons
which the bowels failed to re-
move. DeW.tt's Little Early
Risers are world famous for
remedying this condition. They
stimulate the liver and promote
regular and healthy action of the
bowels bnt never cause gripping,
cramps or distress. Safe pills.
