BASEBALL AT WASHBURN.
Practically Certain Athletic Park
Will Be Used by Professionals.

The Topeka railway company has
practically accepted the proposition of
the Washburn athletic board for the
use of the Washburn baseball park for
the professional team for a period of
five years. The railway company will
contribute 5000 toward the erection of
a grandstand, and will stand half the
expense of maintenance of the grounds
for the life of the contract.
This is the proposition which was
suggested by the Washburn manager,
F. NJ. Leach. and in order to bring it
before the Washburn athletic board the
railway company drafted the contract
as suggested and agreed to accept it.
1t is now up to the Washburn board
to give it's official consent.
The Washburn athletic board expects
to contribute $500 toward the expense
of the grandstand, which will give a
fund Of $500 to be used for the struc-
ture. This will build very good
grandstand, with b seating capacity of
about 1000. 1t will be built at the
northwest corner of the field.
The baseball season in Topeka will
open on May 5, and it has been so ar
ranged that the dates will not conflict
with the dates of the Washburn team.

Proper Treatment for Pneumonia

Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor himself,
although he may have the proper rerne-
dies at hand. A physician should always
be called. 1t should be borne in mind,
however. that pneumonia always results
from a cold or from attack of the grip
and that by giving ChamberIain's Cough
Remedy the threatened attack of pneu-
monia may be warded off. This remedy
is also used by physicians in the treat
ment of pneumonia with the best results
also a druggist. says of it: 'I have been
selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
prescribing it in my practice for the past
six years. I use it in cases of pneuin onia
and have always gotten the best results. .

THOSE OIL LEASES.
The President, Not the Company,
Getting Them.
To the Editor of the State Journal:

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The statement in a recent issue of the
Journal to the effect that the Excelsior
Coke & Gas company was securing
leases of land near Topeka for the pur-
pose of prospecting for oil, gas, ETC., is
erroneous.
I understand that MI. c. X. Holiday,
president of this company, and Colonel
George w. Veale of this city, acting as
trustees for eastern people, are securing
leases. This, however, is a matter in
which the Gas company is not inter-
ested. Respectfully,

negro appeared to have charge OF the
kitty and raked in ten-cent pieces
whenever a player made winnings.
Renear scooped in the ten players, a
deck OF cards, and about sixty cents in
money. The names of those arrested
were put down as follows: George
Smith, VIM Jones, Dick Wright, Joe
