Would Prefer johnson.

There is a general wish in Washington
that Mr. Johnson will not meet with sue
cess in the matter of selling the club, so
that he will have to run 1t himself. Every
body at all versed In base ball knows that
II the American Leagues president had
charge of the club, w6th the stiff deficiency
of last season to make up, the Senators
would get none the worst of 1t in the mat
ter of dates In the seasons schedule, and
also almost all the available players in
sight will be offered to him first. Mr.. john
son is the dominant figure in the Amert-
can League, and when he says that the
Washington club must be a strong one the
prospects are that there are few managers
with surplus players who will say him nay.
Last seasons losses cannot be saddled on
purchaser at this time and for this reason
Mr.. Johnson Is not OveranxiouS to sell.
He wants to retrieve the losses. and he
knows then that he will have no difficulty
in disposing of the Senators at a still bet
ter figure than asked this year Local
Johnson's hobbies and he has only d.
verged from those lines when the necessi-
ties of a with the National League
made 1t necessary
One thing can be relied upon, the club
will be sold to Washington capitalists or
the team next season will be run by the
American League. under the personal d.
rection OF Mr.. Johnson. No outside capital
need apply, especially in these piping days

The National Afro-American Council

The Afro-American Council was
called into being by the necessities Of
the people, and its mission is. to amel-
iorate in so far as it can intelligently,
wisely and practically do so, the de
plorable political and industrial posi-
ton of large portion of our brethren,
in the South especially, who are living
in a shadow of condition which they
did not create and from which they
would gladly emerge if encouraged by
the Afro-Americans of the North, who
enjoy larger civil and political rights
than their brethren of the South.
It is the aim and hope Of the Afro
American Council, which is neither
circumscribed by religious, social or
political tests as a condition to the
membership therein, to. incorporate all
existing social, religious, political and
benevolent organizations into the body
of it's membership without interfer-

bylaws of said organizations, except

.Oxyqen Is Life's Necessity.

Without Oxygen man dies, but when
the blood is we'll fed with oxygen man
lives in the full enjoyment of health.
Life should be a constant physical
revolution. Oxygen is feeder OF llv'
ing tissues.
Disease and sickness arise from lack
of vitality, which is due to lack OF
oxygen in the blood. OXYDONOR an
mates and thus reverses this degen-
Grafton, opens the way for the whole
organism to drink freely of oxygen,
through the pores of the skin and
membranes and sets in operation an
energizing, irresistible, vital force,
which speedily overcOmes disease.
One .OXYDONOR will serve the fam
lily. 1t cures while you rest, and it's
results are equally eficacious for the
infant and grandsire.
The following testimonial, one OF
many hundreds, testifies as to the eff
cheney of the Oxydonor:
st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. %, 1903.
DR.. c. S. Wilson:
I take great pleasure in notifying
you that I have given the sOxydonor a
thorough test lately, when my wife
was sick with La Grippe, Bronchitis,
and a touch of Pneumonia. 1t was a
severe attack, accompanied by high
fever, and l must confess that I had
some doubts about the outcome. But
to my surprise the Oxydonor worked
like magic; had to use it in ice for
35 hours, but it conquered the dis
ease. Applying the Oxydonor two
more nights perfected the cure.

The Hens at Pullman

The poultry show at Pullman closed
last Saturday. The event is said to
have been a success from beginning to
end, although the attendance was not as
large as was anticipated. There were
about 400 birds on exhibition, among
which were some of the finest specimens
OF the feathered focks to be found in
the northwestern states. Exhibitors
were present from Washington. Idaho
and Oregon. The show was under the
direct management of J. NJ. Palmerton,
secretary of the association, and much
OF the success OF the exhibition was due
to his personal work. Among the var
ieties to be seen were: Silver laced Ham
burgs, white, brown and buff Leghorns;
silver laced Wyandottes, black Minorcas
buff Orppingtons, light Brahmas, buff
Wyandottes, buff Rocks, Partridge CO.

10th CENTURY IDEA
Selling Pianos on the Co.
operative Plan.

An idea originated in Philadelphia re.
Gently. that makes possible large saw
ing in the retail price Of pianos. Thous-
ands OF instruments have been sold on
this new plan, and it has been estimated
that the aggregate saving effected there
by in Philadelphia, alone, amounts to
over 100000. We have adopted the
same plan; it is simply the application
OF the wholesale principle to the retail
department. We can sell 100 pianos
much cheaper than we can sell single
instrument By joining one of our four
clubs (hmited to % members each) YOU
get the benefit Of the wholesale price.
