Baseball Writers Like Name of
Topeka Team.
'sThe Saints" Appears to Salts
fy Them.
NJ AXE SPICY COMMENT
Gives Up "The
Bugs" Reluctantly.
Pittsburg Thinks That Team
VIII Need Watching.

The newspapers of the Missouri Val
ley baseball circuit like the name Sc
lected for the Topeka ball team by a
special committee of citizens and they
have devoted much space to the contest
by which the name was selected from a
list of 600 received at the State Journal
office The committee that made the
selection at the Elks rooms was made
up of c. K. Holiday. Clarence Smith,
Henry Ruff, W. W. Webb, A G. Good
win. John c. Waters, F. Z. Nipps and
L. L. Kiene. ]. E. House, who consent
ed to serve on the committee was not
present as he had selected a name of
his own and evidently did not care to
act with a committee of citizens for
fear of compromising himself.
Mr.. Woods, who was the first to send
in the name The Saints" has a season
pass awarded by the baseball associa-
ton for his trouble and it is generally
conceded that his suggestion is a good
one.
1t is distinctly applicable to this city,
which has had it's 80 years of every
thing" as Major Anderson says. So
many of the events are seen here from
the perspective of prohibition, good
conduct, ad inhnitum. The writers over
the circuit are sure that it is just the
name. The amount of space they have
devoted to exploiting the fact, and their
willing acceptance, with their juicy
comments, shows that it has made a
hit.
Portions of the clippings follow:
Sedalia. Capital: THE Saints sounds
better than the ..Jointists" and the
manager of the Topeka ball club has

for suggesting the name, now officially
adopted. Anything that may have
been said in this paper against the
sanity conduct of the Topeka players

A REMARKABLE TEST
APPLIED BY A TEACHER IN A
LEADING UNIVERSITY.
Demonstrates the Power of DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills to Restore
Shattered Nerves.
Mrs. Leander Lane, wife of the mi

Mrs. Leander Lane, wife of the min
lister of the Christian church, of No.
2o10 street, South Omaha, Neb., tells
how her daughter has been enabled to
resume her professional work as a
teacher after suffering for nearly three
years from severe nervous prostra-
ton:
When she was passing from girl
hood to WomanhOod,'' SAYS Mrs. Lane
"She suffered greatly from difficulties
peculiar to her sex. The physician did
not help her, but a few boxes of DR..
Williams Pink Pills brought about the
perfect regulation of her system.
while she had escaped from one
grave trouble, she unfortunately began
to oVerWork, first as a student and
then as a teacher in a large Iowa in
stitution for orphan boys. She enjoy
ed her work and was very enthusiastic,
but the strain finally told on her. She
became pale, weak, nervous unable to
sleep; she had no appetite and she suf-
fered from severe headaches. Tpen
came a complete breakdown and her
work had to be given up.
THE confidence which DR.. Williams
Pink Pills had already inspired in US
led us to try them again in this eme--
gency. Improvement came at f1rSI
slowly, and we sometimes doubted
whether she was gaining, but we no
ticed that whenever she stopped TAX
ing the pills she fell back, and when
ever she resumed the use of them she
revived and so we kept up the treat
ment until she recovered her usual
health and was able to take u position
in one of our universities where she
is happily at work. My mother my
daughter and myself nave a welt
founded confidence in the merits or
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and are al
ways ready to recommend them
This is simply one more proof that
these pills seek disease at its source
and effect fundamental cures in all
diseases having a ooTscrnon origin in
impaired blood or nerves. They arres-
physical decay when it seems ineVlto.-
BILE and find a read to restoration when
the doctor misses It. They are sold by
all druggists throughout the world.
