WOMEN OF KANSAS ARE
BOOMING THEIR STATE

Out of the Kansas Equal Suffrage
association has grown Kansas Wo-
mans bazaar association, and for its
initiative work it will hold bazar
and exhibit in Chicago from Nov. IS
to %.
The car bearing the exhibit passed
through this city over the Rock ISL
and road yesterday. The ladies of the
association throughout Kansas have
furnished large quantities of fancy
work and other articles that go to
make up an exhibit such as any state
might be proud of.
The purpose of the exhibit is to adj
vertise the Sunflower state, which
the inhabitants thereof feel has been
more maligned and misrepresented
than any other state in the union,
the people of the east having the inn
preston generally that grasshoppers
are the chief product of that section.
Twenty counties are represented in
the exhibit. Each is given space up
on which is to be built a booth in
which are displayed cards with the
crops of the county. The principal
products displayed are wheat, oats, al
falfa, kaffir corn and barley. There are
also apples from Gov. Bailey's farm,
showing the fruit productiveness of
the first district. The candy booth
will doubtless prove a special attrac-
ton. The candy is made by Kansas
women from beet sugar furnished by
Kearney county The exhibit will be
in charge of 20 ladies, and will be dis
played at the Great Northern hotel,
Chicago.

FULTON HAS RAISED BONUS
OF $4,000 To KEEP FACTORY

Although the fuu amount of the
$4,000 demanded by the recent pur-
chasers of the plant of the defunct
Mississippi Valley Stove. company in
Fulton has not been secured, the citi-
zens of that place are hopeful that
the factory may be retained for that
town. Eight thousand dollars has
been raised, and this amount, with
other inducements, will be offered to
the new owners as the best that the
Fulton people can do. 1t is believed
that the offer will be accepted and
that the plant will be kept in Fulton
and operated by the Charleston Stove
company, the recent purchasers.

C. Haney, of Geneva, Ohio, had the

ChamberIaIn's Cough Remedy is Pleasant
to Take.

The finest quality of granulated
loaf sugar is used in the manufacture
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and
the roots used in its preparation give
it flavor similar to maple syrup,
making it quite pleasant to take. w.
L. Roderick, of Poolesville, Md, in
speaking of this remedy, says: Il have
used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
with my children for several years
and can truthfulIy say it is the best
preparation of the kind l know of.
The children like to take it and it has
no injurious after effect" For sale

ard Line.

There is an impression that the
Northwestern is behind the projected
interurban line between Davenport
and Clinton, and that within a year
trains of that system will be running
into the three cities. The |. q l. in
terurban company is but a myth, ac-
cording to the information at hand,
employed until such time as the
Northwestern is prepared to come
out from under cover.
The Northwestern has for years had
its eyes on this locality, and would
have bought in the Davenport, Rock
Island & Northwestern line, which has
since been acquired jointly by the Mil
waukee and Burlington systems. had
not the price been put too high by
the Gates combination, which backed
the building of thefroad and the Cres-

HOLLAND HAS IT
Peoria's Application for Three.
Eye League in His
Hands.
IN RECORDS RECEIVED HERE
No Purpose to be Served BY His
DeniaIs OF the Facts in
the Case.

There have been so many denials
and affirmations of the story, printed
originally in this paper, that Peoria
had made application for a franchise
in the Three-Eye league, that The Ar
gus feels, in justice to itself and pa
pers that are apparently cropping in
the dark on the question, that it
should be more explicit.
The facts in the case are that Pc
oria made its wishes known to NJ. II.
Sexton before he relinQuished the
presidency of the league to Ed Hol-
land, of Bloomington, and when the
latter gentleman visited Rock Island
Wednesday of last week for the pur-
pose of taking charge of the records
and formally assuming the duties of
the Office the application from the dis
tillery city was placed in his hands.
What object Mr.. Holland sees in re-
futing the report that Peoria wants
a place in the league passes under
standing. In the face of his denial he
has gone to Peoria and conferred
with the parties at the helm in base
ball matters in that city.
Is Poor Policy.
If he has started out with the in
tention of attempting to make fool
ishness with the newspapers of the
circuit he may discover earlier than
he now imagines that he is dallying
with a pretty warm proposition. The
newspapers have duty to perform
in chronicling information concerning
baseball as in all other public ques-
tions, and they have a right to expect
from Mr.. Holland, as executive officer
of the league, to receive the news
straight.
The fact that Peoria has applied
does not mean necessarily that SOME
other town is to be side-trac ked-ai-
though it would be the part of wis
dom to take such a step, considering
the advantageous location of Peoria
and the further fact that it is larger
and better baseball town than any
now in the circuit The desirability
of making Peoria member will be
more forcibly appreciated when the
time comes for drawing up the sched-
ule.

a Good Name.

From personal experience l testify
that DeWitt's Little Early Risers are
unequaled as a liver pill. They are
rightly named because they give
strength and energy and do their
work with ease.-W. T. Easton, Boerne,
Texas. Thousands of people are using
these tiny little pills in preference to
all others, because they are so pleas
ant and effectual. They cure bilious
ness. torpid liver jaundice, sick head
ache, constipation, etc. They do not
purge and weaken, but cleanse and
strengthen. Sold by all druggists.

May Use Bridge.

The ordinance by which permission
was secured for the construction of
the line in this city and Davenport
and the approaches to the bridge
reaN that any other line that may
in future desire entrance to the cities
they will have the right by paying
propOrtionate cost of the construction
of said line and bridge.
The road bed that is being built be-
tween Davenport and Clinton is of
the heaviest character, such as is used
tosupport standard trains. 1t is not the
kind of bed that is used by interur-
bans in any part of the country. This,
with other things that have transpired
in the past few weeks, has led to the
belief that the Northwestern is soon
to realize its fondly cherished dream
of competing directly for tri-city
business. The road will be welcome.

ton that the club was willing to allow,
there should be no difficulty in closing the

fight. The lightweight title will hinge on
the result, the weight conditions making il
a legitimate lightweight championship con-
test Whether the bout will be one Of ten
or fifteen rounds has not yet been decided
but IL is more than likely that il will be
at the shorter distance, with the inaugu-
ration OF tifteen-round wind-ups postponed
10 the February exhibition.
Cans and Fitzgerald have met once just
after the last-named boxer hooked up with
Britt at the coast. Fitzgerald's seconds
tossed up the sponge in the tenth round
the Brooklyn boy not having recovered
from the injury that hampered him In his
bout with Britt. Just now Fitzgerald is al
his best, as was shown by his condition in
his last mill with Mike Ward. The bout, II

The date OF the January show Is not yet
set. II will be not later than the 18th OF
the month.

rs READY TO
COMPARE DATES
Major League Officials Want No
Conflicting Games During
the Season.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-Barney Dreyfuss,
chairman of the National League schedule
committee, who, it appears. has been in
trusted with the sole making I'D of the
schedule for 1904 took a day off from hold
ing the chair of President Harry c. Pull
liam during that worthy's absence in Ten
nessee, and in New York, said: 81 have
almost finished the schedule for 1904, and
when we get through we will ask a con-
ference with the American League schedule
committee TO compare notes. The National
League does not wish any conflicting dates.
nor do we believe that the American wants
anything of the kind. We will get together
and arrange a nonconficting schedule. The
American League has made this possible
by arranging for a 154-game schedule, the
same as we adopted. Had they stood for
40 games, as they threatened, it would
not have been so easy, but now II Will be
better I have tried in doping out dates
for everybody 10 minimize the length and
number of jumps as much as possible, for
there is nothing which eats into the club
bank roll so fast and far as those seem
ingly senseless jumps. l am satisfied that
will be ready within the next week TO
present schedule to the American League
committee which will meet with It's appro-
baton"
Speaking of the coming season, so far as
the champion Pittsburg team Is concerned,
MIR. Dreyfuss said:
"Anyone who thinks that Pittsburg will
not win the Dennant next season has but
TO see me If he wants TO bet. We can and
will win the Dennant If there is not a
change in the present makeup of the team.
But | will have two other cracker-Jack
pitchers. 1 want TO make my fourth pen
nant impressive. j want the other people
who may come after me In Dasepall 70

LOGANSPORT, Ind, Dec. 30.-Talk of

eight-city combination next year is already
being quietly INDUCED in by managers of
the league, the possibility of such an ar
rangement being not only feasible but even
very likely, according to Manager Frank
Wilson of the Logansport team. The clam
or of Champaign, ILL.,, for admission to the
league Is attracting serious attention, and
while there seems to be no prospect OF
that city being admitted this season, il
appears that il will he given a chance next
year South Bend is also said to be under
