gatherings of farmers that ever as

Of Texas where the weevil has eaten

are destroying every year, now, is

North Texas, but farmers of other

their cotton patches. The lowest

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic condl-

very much overdrawn. The poor

can do much better at home by prop.

regular use Of German Syrup.
Free expectoration In the morning
is made certain by German Syrup,

absence Of that weakening cough

due To coughing, the greatest dan

taking German Syrup literally and
regularly. Should you be able to

THE action of the president in
recognizing the republic OF Panama
before it was forty-eight hours old
and before it had adopted cOnsti-
Triton or shown itself capable OF
maintaining order and protecting
life and property, to put it mildly,
was indecent haste. There IA no
accuse for the action except com
mercial advantage. Colombia had
not violated any part of her treaty
agreement with this country; she
had not shown herself incapable of
uniting down the instruction, and
was certainly entitled TO show her
ability or inability to govern. Pan
anna is nothing more than seeding
state. Had England recOgn zed the
Confederate government any time
within two years from the time
South Carolina passed the secession
the Confederacy would
have been Ia existence today. By
this act the United States is placed
in the position of endorsing the
very act for which it coerced the
South forty years ago at the eX-
nense of billions of dollars and al
most a million lives.

The Umpire Problem.

President Sexton says the impress
sion that appears to prevail in some
quarters that there is plenty of good
material for umpires is an erroneous
one. Early in the season there were
plenty of applicants for positions on
the umpiring staff in the Three Eye
league, but the list has now practical
" been exhausted, those who applied
originally having found work else
where, either as umpires1, players, or
have been tried and decided that the
life is too strenuous for them. There
fore the waiting list has dwindled to
small proportions.
In the umpire problem President
Sexton sees the most serious one in
the Three Eye league, and he is in
clined to blame the patrons of the
game in the various cities for large
portion of the trouble. 1t has been
pointed out time and again that an
umpire has no personal interest in the
game one way or the other, particu-
larIy if he be a new man, than to hold
his Job, and to do this he must give
satisfaction. Further than this he is
often placed in positive physical dan
ger if he errs 1t is also well known
fact that the umpire is susceptible to
the same influences as a player, and
his work is affected to a large extent
by the reception the audience gives
him. No one would expect player
to make a reasonable showing under
the merciless roasting that the UNI
pire often gets from the bleachers. 1t
is bound to attract more or less of his
attention, and to cause him to that
extent to neglect his work. 1t also
makes him nervous and unable to see
things as they are. Therefore the
course that if often pursued toward

The peaceable adjustment on the

the Rock Island controversy was a
part. began a year ago in Kansas

Railroad Trainmen and the Order of

decided to demand a wage increase of
20 per cent. They coupled with this
Il request that 'dOuble-headcrS' be
either abolished or restricted. Under
the old wage schedule the freight
conductors received 3 cents Il mile

Notes of the Diamond.

Tomorrow comes Decatur for three
games and then the tailenders, Spring
field, who will expect nothing better
than a beating.
y press dispatch announces that the
deal for the sale of Petty, of Cedar
Rapids, to McAleCr, of st. Louis, has
been closed. The consideration is
5000. Petty has been pitching losing
ball for the Rabbits of late and many
accuse him of playing for his release.
That seems to he the view McAleer
takes of the matter.
Beidcn Hill has released Hickey,
who has played second base with the
team since the beginning of the sea
son aud who umpired III the ThEye-
Eye last year.
The game in this city was not the
only one prevented by rain in the
Three-Eyc league yesterday. The
same conditions prevailed all about
the circuit and not contest took
place. Today il is probable that dou-
ble-hcadcrs will be played at other
places as we'll as here.
