A Part of Marshalltown's Team is
Gathering for Practice.

Bobby" Warner and his colts are
prancing into Sioux City for the open
ing practice of the season. All of the
men who were Instructed to report
there are expected to be on the ground
by Thursday, but some of them have
already arrived. The team VIII work
out for two days, and on April 16 and
IL will play practice games with the
Sioux City team of the Western Lea
que. The players who viii report at
Sioux City are Treadway and Metz,
pitchers; Bruggeman, catcher; Johnson
short; link, first; Warner, second;
Lohr third; and outfelders House and
Taylor, the two Indians. One of the
pitchers Will probably play in the field
while the other is in the box. link,
the first baseman has not been signed
by Warner, but is a Sioux Falls player
who was with last years team and Will
be taken by Warner to Sioux City to
play that position while the team is
there. Warner does not anticipate
winning either Of the Sioux City games
so local fang need not be disappoint-
ed If both go to Sioux City. The Sioux
City Tribune publishes the following
regarding the arrival OF the team
pitcher Treadway, of Minneapolis is
the first of Bobby Warmers team to
report here for duty. The other men
are expected tomorrow and by Satur-
day it is believed they will be in good
shape for battle with the Sioux. War
ner has signed 81 Swain. a mighty good
pitcher who will be remembered here
for his good work with Flandreau in
1902, and Sioux Falls last season. Bobby
has got quite a bunch of practice
games scheduled starting out with two
here on April 16 and H."
Charles Craig. city editor of the Sioux
Falls Argus Leader. has the following
to say in regard to the leaving of War
ner and his team for Sioux City:
captain Robert C. Warner viii leave
Wednesday for Sioux City where the
Will commence reporting on that date.
on April 16 and II the Marshalltown
club will cross bats with the Sioux City
Western league outfit. Captain Warner
and his colts will be at a disadvantage,
as 1T will be the first Tins that they
have been together. Another handicap
will be the fact that all of his men will
not be there. William link, who Will
play with the Duluth club of the North
ern league. will go down to Sioux City
ana help Warner out in these two gam
es and Bob Black will come down from
LeMars for the same purpose. Metz,
Of Sioux City, who has been hired for
a try-out at Marshalltown, will pitch
the opening gains, and Treadway, who
was with Sioux City last season will

DON'T sMATTER.
Go 10 the Roots at Once.

II you have ails go to the root of the
trouble, it may be coffee, as with an
Iowa lady, who had an experience OF
which she says:
eve all know The root of all evil
is money but a we'll known saying in
a few years will be: The root of all
stomach trouble is coffee at least
that's what l think from my own ex-
perience and that of my friends. For
three years have been a sufferer from
terrible stomach trouble scarcely able
to do home duties at times having so
severe attacks l would be bed ridden
for a week at time.
Last winter l was taken very sick
with one of these attacks and in such
distress as my stomach was too weak
to take it. the physician was compell-
ed to inject medicine into my arm
A friend came to see ME and told me
she had just such attacks until she
ceased drinking coffee and drank Pos
tum.
'.When became able to sit UP | re-
solved to abandon coffee and began the
use OF Postum, and would you believe
1t. that was my last sick spell, for ]
ann now entirely we'll and strong with
all my ails gone and bounding good
health in their place. My little nurs
ing baby has derived as much benefit
from it too as she has lost her pevish-
ness.
Postum is nourishing and palatabe
and when properly made it is certain
ly delicious, for it has the sweet taste
of pure grains and leaves no bitter
ness in the mouth. Name given by
Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
How many people in the neighbor-
hood are just the same? They don't
believe" 1t comes from coffee. Neither
did this lady until she gave UP coffee
and tried Postum.
There's d reason.

the other day:
In a majority of cases the plays are
not read. nor even looked at. But the
managers like to make a man think
his play has been read even If they
have to reject it. When I was young
man | went with a manuscript to a
manager to whom afterward sold
several plays. My copy was tied up in
q neat roll. with knot of pink tape.
] knew the knot and l knew that the
manager or his reader couldn't tie an
other one like it If he tried.
"'Come In two weeks he said.
II went, and the play was handed
back.
".Have you read it?" I inquired.
Sure said the manager. Read 1t
myself. Sorry it won't do
II united the knot unrolled the
manuscript. and laid on the managers
desk sixty-four pages of white paper
