this sum will be spent in altering and en-
lsrging the field, which for foot ball Is al
ready perfect, but for base ball is consid-
erably too short In right field. To remedy
this defect the high knoll that projects en-
the east side OF the field will be cut away,
the diamond moved slightly to the
east and then the varsity men
will have as fine a base ball
park as they can wish; in fact, II will equal
many Of the league grounds and in area
will surpass that Of the St. Joseph leaguers.
The cutting way Of the hill means the
carting Of about 5000 cubic yards OF dirt,
but the athletic management has concluded
that It is absolutely necessary for them to
have a field OF their own, where they can
play championship games at their own
pleasure and not be dependent on the dates
when the league park Is vacant.
Care will be taken that this work be done
without damaging the present field, so no
practice work will be hindered. In addition
an eight-foot tight board fence will be built
around the entire field, the bleachers will
be increased and their position changed and
a twenty-foot high wire mesh backstop will
be put up. With all these improvements
Creighton will have one Of the most favora-
bic fields in the city. Its location is more
central than any other, as It is but seven
minutes walk from the busiest part Of the
city. The Harvey street car runs right to
the entrance, while the Park avenue and
Walnut Hill lines are but two blocks dis
tant. On occasions of big games special
car service will be secured on the Harvey
line.

The new uniforms we're tried on for the
first time yesterday and everybody is loud
in praise of them. They are a grayish blue
with a big white &C" on the left breast.
The belts are white, the stockings navy
blue and a white &c. "" monogram is en-
broidered on the caps. Some Of the play
ers also have rich navy blue coats, with
big white pearl buttons and a &c. u" on
the left breast pocket.
The new dressing rooms have likewise
Just been put to use. They are equipped
with fifty large, roomy lockers, one Of
which is given to each player, in which he
can keep his toys. Three big shower baths
equipped with hot and cold water accommo-
dations have also been added and the cam
didates have every necessary convenience
to facilitate and better their work.
This week will open the varsity season.
First come the exhibition games with the
Omaha league team on Thursday and FRI
day at Vinton park, and on Saturday a
game with the Omaha All Varsity team on
Creighton field. BY request of the Red
mon Devlin mass meeting committee the
drama "Rosedale," which is to be given for
the benefit OF athletics, has been postponed
to Wednesday, April 2S, which is the first
free date at the university.

Meantime the varsity squads are at work
getting themselves into form and endeavor-
ing to show that they are worthy the efforts
made in their behalf. Every afternoon they
get out on the big clay field and the
"likelys" are put in the different positions
and an hour or two of batting to infeld and
outheld is worked away. On the side lines
a pitcher and catcher are at work giving
the stickers practice at sacrificing, bunting
and placing their hits.
The only dlssatisfying feature Of the
work" says Coach Wilcox, sis the inability
Of all the players to get out regularly.
Some are engaged at special study, others
have special work to do, and as a conse-
quence some OF the most promising material
is far from being in proper fettle. We have
a team of star individual players, but as
yet the team work is not up to my expecta-
tions."

Both Wilcox and welch, on whom most
Of the tossing will devolve, are swinging
their whips daily and getting them in prime
condition. Wilcox, who is accustomed to
a warmer climate, has a slight touch Of
soreness in his right" but this he claims
will wear of in a day or two. WEIGH, who
was considerably erratic at first, has now
gotten his south paw into ideal shape. Cap
tain O'Keefe and Clark have gotten their
pads adjusted and are ready to test their
speed with a base stealer. Steady old "Bill'
Lynch is at his old post at second bag and
will probably head the batting list again
this year. Jack Dineen is in his old place
in left garden and Stone, who, through abb
sence from classes, has lost som practice,
is fast rounding into shape and is likely to
make a strong bid for first base, as we'll as
a good place on the batting list. Eddie
Creighton has lost som practice on account
Of sore eyes, but a few days work will put
him in proper shape.

LOCAL HORSE NEWS OF WEEK
Early Closing stakes of the Circuit
Only Partly FILLED Owing
to Number.

The entries to the early stakes in the
Nebraska circuit closed last Tuesday, and
the results have been counted. Reports
from two or three secretaries show that the
classes did not fill as good as desired. This
was expected by the more conservative,
because Of there being so many towns in
the circuit, thirteen. The entries were
scattered about among the thirteen meet
ings, whereas had there been four or FIVE
larger towns in the circuit, all stakes
would have filled.

Democratic County Platform.

We, the democrats of Rosebud county,
in convention assembled, heartily en-
dorse the principles of the democratic
party as enunciated at the state con-
vention, held at Bozeman, Montana,
September %, 1902, and especially that
portion of the platform in favor of equal
assessment of property for taxation,
whether owned by individuals or cor
porations, and hereby commend the
efforts of the county commissioners of
Rosebud county looking to that end.
We heartily endorse the administra-
ton of the affairs of the county by the
present democratic officeholders and
the board of county commissioners and
point with pride to the present healthy
financial condition of the county; and
we further strongly endorse the action
of the board in keeping Rosebud county
as seventh class county, thus saving
to the taxpayers thousands of dollars
in salaries; and we hereby pledge our
candidates to abide by that decision
until such a time as the taxable as
sessment Of the county will perma-
nently justify a raise to a higher class
county.
And we hereby pledge the nominees
of the democratic party, to be made at
this convention, to the earnest, honest
and impartial discharge of the duties
of their respective offices and in the
interest of the taxpayers of Rosebud
county.

We hereby indorse the administra-

We heartily approve of the law pro-

lively extend its operations.
We favor such Legislation by the

AS the campaign progresses it is
becoming apparent to even the most
casual observer that the democratic
county convention made no mistake in
selecting r. J. Guy of Rancher as its
candidate for sheriff. Mr.. Guy is
known as most painstaking, Consci-
entiOuS and efficient officer, and this
fact naturally wins for him material
support from that element in the repub-
lican party which believes in support
ing for Office men whose qualifications
are eminent. No man can say aught
against the ability Of Mr.. Guy for the
office to which he aspires, and his
election by a decisive majority is
already conceded by the opposition.

Messrs. J. S. Hopkins and James
Blair, who constitute the personnel OF
the democratic legislative ticket, are
men thoroughly identified with the
industrial and labor interests of Rose
bud county, and they would neither
sanction nor endorse any Legislation
adverse to the best interests of their
constituency. They further stand upon
a platform which embodies every i'm
portant issue, and they are men who
will honestly comply with every pledge
which has been made for them. With
these men as our representatives in the
legislature of Montana we can rest
assured that our local interests, as
well as those of the state at large, will
be carefully and conscientiously looked
after.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:

The newspapers announce that 1O,-
900 tons of Welsh coal are on the high
seas today bound for American ports.
If our manufacturers combine to stif1e
all competition, the only way to break
up the monopoly is 10 let in foreign
competition. The importation of Welsh
coal will go a long way toward doing
this in the coal monopoly. and would
entirely solve 1t could we import that
coal in sufficient quantities to meet the
demand. Lack of competition is mo-
nopoly. Any law that prevents compe-
tition aids monopoly. The primary
object of the publican protective
tariff is to shut out foreign competition.
These are facts. Let every man who
votes in November consider them.

The democratic ticket of Rosebud

The democratic ticket of Rosebud
county is essentially a taxpayers
ticket. Its nominees in the main are
men who are heavy taxpayers of the
county. Is it not reasonable to suppose
that they will be in favor of an equit-
able distribution of the taxes of the
county? Think of your personal inter
ests and how the welfare of your home
and family will be effected, and then

They are striking for more money, for
more breathing time-for chance to
keep acquainted with their families.
Their demands are entirely reasonable.
The wage-earner is something more

drives. He knows how to appreciate
the philosophy of Josh Billings when
he said: ga man you can hire to work
on a farm for nothing and board him
self, will just about earn his wages

Against the republican nominee for
state senator as a gentlemen we have
nothing to urge, but it would be extra
ordinarily illogical for even his most
ardent supporters to allege that he
would not vote for Tom Carter for
United States senator. Does any
honest republican in Rosebud county
wish to see Montana again disgrace
herself by sending such political
prostitute as Tom Garter to the United
States senate? His record is such that
he has been repudiated by the more
conservative element of his party, and
his restoration to the United States
senate would forever blast and blacken
the fair name of our state Voters
should bear these facts in mind and
remember that it Is mutually under
stood that every man receiving the
nomination on the republican ticket in
the state for senator will vote, in the
event of his election, for DR.. Carter.
