REOR0ANIZE THE TEAM.
Good Stock Offered Florence Base
Ball Team For 'o1.

E. M. Grindle, of Washington
Kansas, famous short stop base
ball player, has written to Score
tary McCreery stating that he
wishes to sign with the Florence
Eagles base ball club for this year.
he is also first class bar tender.
Mr.. McCreery says that if there
is any saloon man here who
would give him position he
would guarantee that he will be
given liberal support by the club.
The people of this vicinity
should take an interest in the re-
organization of this club because
good base ball team gives any
town more advertising than almost
anything else, unless it might be
band, and as better teams will be
organized this year than last, this
place does not wish to be left out.
An instance of how well town
can be advertised with base ball
club, can be rememb bered by last
years games here. If we wish to
retain last years reputation we
must prepare for it at once. The
season opens the first of May.

charlatan nor cheater. All that he does
he does unconsciously and because he feels
it. Today he is town talk
In these words are given truthful and
graphic description in action OF Creatore
pronounced Kray-a-to-ray) the Italian
bandmaster who has set all New York
music mad, and will appear at the New
Exposition, Pitsburg, from Wednesday,
September "a, until Saturday, October 4,
inclusive.
Creatore, is a wonder, a very musical,
whirlwind and cyclone, absolutely the
most startling personality the band world
has any record Of. He conducts band OF
fifty players, and produces effects so sensa-
tional, and climaxes of such volcanic
power that the listener is electrified, in
voluntarily clutches his seat, and simply is
forced to "sit up" At first hearing one
is inclined to ridicule and belittle
Creatore's violent mannerisms, but little by
little the terrific earnestness and superior
musicianship of the man assert themselves,
the scoffer of moment before becomes the
most devoted of admirers and hangs
breathlessly upon every move of the man
who is hypnotizing his players into
breathing" the music into which he is
throwing the vigor and temperament of a
dozen men.
The New Exposition management has
not accepted Creatore upon hereSay, but
has had its own representatives hear and
see him under varying conditions, and for
that reason asserts with confidence that he
will take his audience absolutely by storm.
Suburbanites will regret it all their
lives If they fail to hear this marvellous
man and his band, not once only, but re-
peatedly. For their convenience all rail-
roads leading into Pittsburg have made
preparations to handle with ease enormous
crowds of excursionists at the one-fare rate.
While the New Exposition music is Its
great attraction, the high excellence of the
DISPLAYS and special features must not be
overlooked. Of exhibitors there are forty
two more than last year, and the excellent
character of their exhibits, notably in
Mechanical hall, have been the talk of

Republicans Make Remarkable Showing
Expense VIII BE $780, 900 Below APP
Precipitation OF Legislature For
Bicnnlum.

An examination of the records
in the auditors Office shows that
the state Institutions have been
maintained under the present
administration at a cost of 500,
77S,09 less than the amount APP
propriated by the Legislature for
the first year of the biennium.
If the second'year presents the
same results the saving in the
two years will amount to more
than $50, 900 In other words
at the close of the two-year term
there will DO a surplus i'll the
funds of nearly 100000, based
on the cost for the first year.
There is every reason for the
belief, however, that the sum
will be even larger than that.
When the republican administra-
ton took charge nearly all of the
state institutions were iii de-
plorable condition. New beds
and bedding, furnishings and like
material had to be purchased;
considerable money had to be cX-
pended for immediate repairs.
All this expense, as we'll as bills
amounting to several thousand
dollars that were contracted by
the fusionests are included in
the first year, and yet there is a
surplus of more than 100000 in
the first years quota of the APP
preparations.
The only expense required
during the second year will be
for food, clothing and salaries,
so the cost the second year will
necessarily be much lower than
the first.
Governor Savage is very much
gratitied over the showing made,
for it is much better than was
ever made by the fusionists and
that, too, inl face of the fact that
meat, butter, eggs, potatoes and
all provisions have been much
higher the last year than during
the fusion administration, if not
than ever before in the history
of the state.
| When the fnsionists went out
of power the appropriations were
all exhausted and they left to
their successors approximately

Gov. Savage and the Rail Roads

We notice from the Lincoln

ernor Savage is said to be con-
templating the calling of an extra
session of the Legislation to
change the revenue law in the
event that the. corporations do,
not assist him to the nomination
for. governor. That they may or
may not be political buncomb
manufactured solely against the
governor. In our opinion the
governor could do worse thing
than call an ezra session of the
Legislature to ammend the revenue
laws. But there is grave doubts
whether the present members of
the legislature would amend the
law satisfactory were they to be
convened inextra session. Their
selections for. United States

as we suggested a few weeks ago

Question whether court OF
equity would sustain the board
in assessing the corporations at
their cash value when all other
property is being assessed at one
fourth to one tenth value. If it
did there would not be much
equity in it. While the revenue
law could and should be amend
ed we still insist that the great
trouble has not been. with the
effects in the law, but III the lack
OF its enforcement. No one
would welcome, an order from the
Attorney General requiring
property assessed according to
law any quicker than would the
assessors themselves. They rec
ognizc fully the imposibility of
making All equitable assessment
under the present system. But
the assessor of one precinct or
assessors of one county can not
in Justice to his constituents COM
ply with the law unless every
other assessor in the state are
compelled to do it. But the re-
nomination of Governor Savage
is a matter that should be deter
mined by the will of the party
with or without any corporation
influence. A nomination forced
against the will of the public
would be political suicide and
, the use of drastic measures to
accomplish it is rot only liable to
have a reverse effect but would
endangcr his chances for election
if thus nominated. Let the will
of the people be done whether it
be Savage or some other man and
we have no fears of the results.
Notwithstanding all that has
been said in the papers about
what Governor Savage and the
BARLEY following would do in

are still of the opinion that Gov.
Savage will be the loyal man
that he has always been after the
