STATEHOOD COMPROMISE
New Bill Prepared For the Admission
of Two States.

of Two States.
Washington, Feb. IL. - The Repub-
lican senatorial advocates of a compro-
mise statehood bill have prepared
their measure for the admission of
the two states. Oklahoma and Indian
Territory comprising one state, and
New Mexico and Arizona the other.
They will bring il before the commit
tee on territories at the first oppor-
tune moment but are holding it back
because of the opposition of the Demo
cratic senator's and also because some
of the Republican supporters OF state
hood are not entirely reconciled to
the change.
There is renewed talk OF pressing
the omnibus bill as an amendment Ia
the agricultural appropriation bill, and
the advocates of that course contend
that they have pledges of support
from majority of the senators.

THE TEAM COMES HOME
BLACK sox HAVE MADE CREDIT.
 ABLE SHOWING.
Played Seventeen Games Away from Montgomery and Won Eight Ot Them-Averages ot
 the Players.

Both batting and fielding averages of the Black SoX, as shown thlS morning. are , highIy creditable, and if in these nine games at home they take up the rerrltic nIttng that they have been uoing for the past eight games they will come mighty near wrestling that hrst place from the grasp of the Frankfurters.
 The team will reach Montgomery on the southbound Louisville and Nashville train at Il o'clock this morning. Since leaving here, May H, they have played seventeen games on the road. winning eight and losing nine. and winning e.ght out of the the last nine games played, Only once has the team been out of the first di- vision, and glance at the scores show that they have played some remarkable ball.
 The first game in Little Rock was lost by a score of and 0, the Black Sox play ing an errorless game, but only getting three hits off of Persons. Chiids, Whistler and Spratt getting singles, while the Travellers hit Hopkins for eleven, includ- ing couple of o-baggers and a three bagger. Jack Brennan won the second game, Little Rock only getting seven hits off of him, Kid Busch making the only error, the score being and in favor of the Black Sox. Hopkins pitched the third game, Little Rock getting ten hits off of him and winning by score of s and 5. Louis Polchow pitched the fourth game, and it was one of the most sensa- tional of the trip, only four hits being
 
 Breitenstein. Memphis winning in the tenth inning by a score of and 1. George Stultz pitched the fifth game and only six hits were made of of hlm, Mem phis winning by a score of and 9 Otis Stockdale pitched the sixth game against Best, that celebrated Sunday game, three hits being made off of Stockdale. but Memphis won. and o. on an error and passed ball, the scores of the three games being and 1. and 1. and 1 and O.
 The seventh game, first New Orleans game, was pitched by Oscar Streit, only seven hits being made off of him to eight of of Smith. the Pelican winning by a score of and 3. Jack Brennan pitched the eighth game and eleven hits were made off of him. the Pelican winning by a score of and l, making eight games lost by about one run.

ready hung out today, Lew Whistler and his following of Black Sox left the last game of the series with the Fishermen today and went on their way rejoicing Nashville returned the Montgomery open Ing compliment by treating the Whist lers to coat of whitewash.s the score being to O,
 There were reasons and reasons why Nashville won today's game. The prin- cipal one was that Russell was almost invincible. He yielded only four scat tering hits and not a single one of them was ever dasgerous. Streit was wild and cratic and the Fishermen found him at opportune times. Occasionally he would show in brilliant form. then let down and become an easy proposition to the Nash vile swatsmen. A costly error by Childs gave two runs to the total, when, if he had held the ball a double play would have retired the side with goose-egg The fielding of the locals was snappy and Eingery, almost pyrotechnic at. times. work. But with all of these facts 1t is only the truth that Brennan, the umpire aided Nashville materially on at least one critical occasion, calling Knoll safe on a slide to second when he was out easily by two or three feet. He was about as badly off on calling balls and strikes as blind man would have been.
 Nashville scored her first run in the second on dumb playing by Montgomery. Wiseman went to first on balls, stole sec ond and went to third on Lowney's out. Then on a little pop fly that went back of second base RJIsch. Childs and Moles- worth all sprinted hard, they all stopped, neither of them reaching the ball. Eth

 It rained Saturday and George Stultz won the Sunday Shreveport game by a score of to A. only six hits being made off of him. Jack Brennan won the twelfth game, first Birmingham, by score of and l, five hits being made off of him to thirteen off of Frank Smith, the Black Sox playing another errorless game. Os- car Streit pitched the thirteenth game, and the number was hoodoo for the Ballyhoos, seventeen hits being made off of Clark, the Black Sox winning, IS and 5.
 The fourteenth was a pitchers battle between Otis Stockdale and Campbell, six hits being made off of Stockdale and i've of of Campbell Birmingham win
 The fifteenth game, first Nashville was won by Louis Polchow by score of and o. three hits being made by Nashville. the Black Sox again playing errorless plate by sharp fielding Jay Kanzlier was put out of the game by Brennan, the unl- pire, that succeeded Goldsby, and in a terrific collision between Spratt and Flanagan, the third baseman was knock ed senseless. Jack Brennan playing third base brilliantly, while Harry Manners did equally we'll in right field. George Stultg won the sixteenth game by score of 3 Bailey out of the box. while seven scat tering hits were made off of Stultz. Yes terday's shutout made seven out of the last nine games played.
 This afternoon at o'clock the team opens with Alb Powell's Crackers. and a great ovation. will no doubt be given the team by the enthusiastic fans,
 The games scheduled with Atlanta are Sunday Monday and Tuesday, but as transferred game was played here with Atlanta on the last Sunday here, tomor- rows game will not be played, today and Tuesday being the only games with At- lanta.
 The pitching staff is doing just about the most brilliant work in the Southern League. and the phenomenal batting and fielding of the entire team Is shown by the following averages:

CT one of the three could have caught it, but 1t fell a safe hit and Wiseman scored. This seemed to take the ginger out of Montgomery and the team lacked much of playing up to the standard or the former games. Rt
 In the sixth Knoll went to Arst on a free ipass. He tried to steal 1ssond and tt tHiarh ehrsw nm out put brenIan Cahea corker and Knoll scored. Cargo hit safe and Kennedy scored, Cargo going out at and Cargo went to first on errors. This was Chifds's bad slip. Busch fielded the ball to Childs beautifully and the second basenan in his haste to catch Cargo at first. made a muff. Wiseman went ont but Lowney hit a safe one to left and 1t went through Flanagan. netting Lowney three bases and scoring Kennedy and Cargo.
 It was a general day off for the team. They did superb work here in the former games but today were nowhere near their standard. An idea of their off-day. work may be had when 1t Is considered that Brennan struck out four times at the bat.

A method has finally been discovered by which a person can be cured of stone in the Bladder without undergoing a surgi- cal operation. Heretofore it has always been thought necessary to use the knife for the cure of this condition, but thanks to the efforts of some of America's truly great savants, way has been found by which the accumulated crystals com monly known as Stone In the Bladder, can be removed by gradual dissolution. No knife or instrument of any kind Is used and the patient feels not the slightest pain or discomfort.
 Our honored and gifted townsman, Dr. J. Newton Hathaway. ever on the alert for all that is new and practical in the achievements of medical science, espe- cially that which tends to the alleviation Of suffering and the cure of disease, has secured exclusive possession of this re- markable new method and already has dozens of cures to his credit right in our own city. The way this discovery is per fected failure in any case is absolutely impossible. and we have yet to hear of the first case, no matter how stubborn, that Dr. Hathaway has failed to cure with this new method. The tortures of known to sufferers from Stone in the Bladder if they will but avail themselves of the doctors treatment.
 He is the only practitioner south of the Mason and Dixon line using this particu- lar method. and if you wish to take ad- vantage of it's benefits rather than have yourself cut up by a surgeon, you must go or write to Dr. Hathaway, It is sta tistlcal fact that three out of four peo- pie who are operated on for Stone Nin the Bladder die under the knife so it is req sonable to suppose that now that this dis covery is made public no one will want to go elsewhere than to Dr. Hathaway.
 How to Tell if You. Have It.
 Likewise. if you suffer from gravel, which is the forerunner of Stone in the Bladder Dr. Hathaway can cure won with this method without pain or danger business or social duties. It is all so If you feel a pain in the back and loins, occasionally cutting and severe. some times darting through the stomach or the small of the back. and then into the blad- der and down the thighs; if there is ire quent desire to urinate with bearing down. straining pain, a cutting or scratching sensation in the uretha dur ing urination. then there is no further doubt that you have gravel. This gravel Is as full of life as ants, and multiplies as rapidly. If you do not have the gravel removed by some such scientific method as Is now in possession of Dr. Hathaway, the gravel, in the form of little pebbles. will continue to grow larger and larger until they unite into solid mass and you have Stone in the Bladder. While the doctor can cure Stone in the Bladder as easily as the simplest disease, yet he advises all who suffer in the way above described to have themselves attended to now before more serious disease de- Velops
