Special to Times Republican,
Ames, April Sunless some unfore-
seen action on the part OF the state
University transpires in the near fu-
tire II seems almost a certainty that
there will be no base ball games be-
tween Ames and S. U. l. on the dla-
mond this season. AS has been the
case before the university and Ames
cannot hitch in athletic sports This
wear being one of the most critical in
the college league as the silver bat is
at stake. S. U. l. has undertaken to
dictate as to who will be allowed to
play and who will not. Professional
ism has been the object upon which
they have centered great stress during
the past few months. knowing that
Brown would be with Ames this year
again, and realizing that this would
greatly lessen their chances of defeat
ing Ames in most critical period
they have lost no opportunity in seiz-
ing upon what they thought to be a
feasible manner in eliminating him
from the contest.
The question now arises, can there
be professionalism of the first and
second degrees? While Ames may
have what might be called professional
men, there is no question but what S.
U l. has men that would be placed In
the same class, excepting that they
have not made the record that some
Ames men have. However, in the rules
of the Iowa Intercollegiate Base Ball
Association there can be found no
clause which interferes in any way
with any team playing professional
man, and at a meeting Of the league
some time ago, the idea of such rul-
ing was voted down. At meeting Of
the managers of the different schools
called at Marshalltown this spring, the
manager of S. U. I. failed to put in an
appearance and the three remaining
school representatives decided unan-
imously to favor the permission Of
professional men to play on the teams.
The S. U. I. then called a meeting at
Iowa City and declared that If Ames
played Brown she would not play.
Since that time negotiations have been
pending, but as no agreement can be
reached the dates between the two
schools have been Cancelled. AS the
rules Of the /. I. B. A. govern the
games in regard to the silver bat and
as S. U. I. refuses to play under these
rules, she will consequently relinquish
her claims to entering the contest for
the much coveted trophy

Many women long for child to bless

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who. is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for q
healthy maternity?
If axpectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands Of
women in this condition, there would
be great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering. and in disappointments at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink

such cases.

His Benefactor.
[Chicago Journal

The quest Of the disreputable looking
citizen who shambled along South State
street the other evening, begging the
passersby for sufficient endowment
to provide him with his supper and a
lodging for the night, seemed to be in
vain. Some Of those whom he accost-
ed seemed as destitute as did he;
others favored him with curious
tered refusal; most of them seemed
anxious to avoid speaking to him at
all.
He slouched over to the shadow of
one of the buildings, where he stood as
if gathering his courage for final eff
fort before he should betake himself to
the municipal haven for such as he.
A man whose overcoat collar was
turned up 80 that it almost concealed
his face, CHANGED along. The disrep-
utable one stepped in front of him.
please, mister" he mumbled,
couldn't you give a fellow the price
of his supper? / haven't had anything
to eat since
Now, look here" said the man, eff
gave you the price of a supper, which
believe you need all right, you would
spend that money for a drink, wouldn't
you?"
mo, sir, 1 wouldn't" declared the
hungry one. I'm just about half
starved and you could watch me make
for the nearest hash foundry"
"Then, instead of giving you the
money, I'll take you to the nearest
restaurant and buy you your supper.
That's fair, isn't it?"
Sure mister said the hungry one,
and the eagerness in his tone indicated
that he really needed the supper.
AS the two men entered the brilliant
ly lighted restaurant the hungry one
looked up sharply at his donor seeing
for the first time that he was mulat-
to. He hesitated moment at the
door, then quickly walked to a table.
The colored man stood near him as he
ordered.
Throw in piece of pie" he said to
the waiter when the beggar had COM
pleted his order. what kind do
you like?"
"Mince," was the reply. and the dis
reputable one stared at the other in
tently. "Say," he said finally and
with an air of unconscious conde-
scension that a king might have emu
lated, "yo're a pretty decent sort OF a
chap after all. Sit right down here
near me. Il haven't any objections at
ALL You can sit here and eat with
me-"

SMITH APPoINTs sAMMIs.
Brother Of Revenue Collector Gets Job
Under New Official.

Des Moines, April 3.-To the sur
prise of the politicians 1t has been an
nounced that Collector Archie c. Smith
Of the northern district has appointed
E. r. Sammis. brother Of the lately
displaced collector, as chief deputy.
1t is said however, that this APP
pointment is temporary in character.
But the fact that Mr. Sammis retired
from the office within the last few
days of the period for which it was
possible for Congressman Thomas to
secure the appointment Of Mr.. Smith,
has been matter Of interest to poll
ticians and they have wondered If 1t
was possible that there were promises
out with respect to the retention of the
brother of he outgoing collector.
The announcement was made at
Dubuque yesterday that the following
appointees would serve Collector
Smith for the present in the northern
Iowa revenue office:
Office deputies, f. P. Sammis, G. d.

Artistic laziness.

Phil May. the English artist. who
died not long ago. had fits of laziness
and when suffering from this ailment
found 1t very difficult to work. On one
occasion he had promised a colored
design for the Christmas number Of
a weekly. The day fixed for its de-
livery had passed by, but no design
was Forthcoming. The publisher went
hunting for him at sea side hotel en-
joying a time Of absolute inaction.
Without going to see Mr.. May. he
hired six sandwich men to parade up
ana down before the artists window
with boards bearing the different leg
ends. This was their tenor: What
about our Christmas cover" eve are
waiting for that cover" It was a de-
liehtful reminder and in few days
the publishers received one of the most
brilliant designs May had ever exc
cuted.

BURNED TO CRISP
Inmate Of the Poor Farm of Crawford
County Burned to Death in Fire
Which Destroyed the Poor Farm
Buildings.

Denison, April 3.-The Crawford
county poor farm building, about seven
miles southwest of Denison, burned to
the ground yesterday. The fire started
in wood house Immediately east of
the main building and was first NOTICE
ed by one of the inmates at about g.: IL
a. M, and soon spread to the main
building. There being no fire protec-
ton the building was soon a mass of
flames. The origin of the fire is I'M
known but to all appearances was in
cendiary. After the alarm was given
everybody in the building got out and
considerable Of the furniture was saw
ed but during the process of taking
out the furniture one of the inmates,
Perry Wilson, GO years of age, who had
quite few trinkets in his room, went
back to save them and was suffocated
by the heat and smoke and his body
was burned to crisp This WAS the
only accident during the fire.
F. NJ. Cole Is the manager of the
poor farm and he lost most of his per-
sonal property in the building. The
building was a two story frame and
was probably worth about $1,000 with
$1,000 insurance The building and
the furnishings the county had in it,
were probably worth $500. There
were fifteen inmates in the building,
some being eighty years old and quite
helpless and it was very fortunate that
Mr.. Cole, the manager, managed to
get them all out
John Cook and Thomas Ahart, MEM
bers of the board of supervisors, were
called down to the poor farm yesterday
morning and arrangements have been
made to keep the inmates at the farm
places of Ira Springer and Joe Kepford
until the board of supervisors make
other arrangements, which will probab-
ly be done during the coming week,
when the board meets for its April
session. The board will no doubt pur-
chase a tracet of land near Denison
and build first class fire proof build
ing and then sell the old poor farm.
which is in very bad location and
too far away from the county seat.
The coroner was called to the scene
of the fire in regard to the death of the
inmate, Perry Wilson, who was burned
but no inquest was held, as there was
nothing to show that crime had been
committed If 1t had not been for all
the confusion and having SO many
things to look after during the progress
of the fire, Mr.. Cole, the manager.
would not have allowed this old man
to go back to his room, which was on
the second story and on the side where
the fire first started in the main
building.

For A GREAT UNIVERSITY.
johnson Brisham's Plan of consolida.

ton.
Des Moones, April 3.-Stepping into
the breach of debate between the
friends and enemies of an educational
board of control in Iowa johnson Brig
ham, state librarian, has proposed a
sort of compromise plan for consolida-
ton of educational management and
concentration of administration. His
views are set forth in a letter to the
press, and are said to have the approval
of prominent friends of all three insti-
tutions directly concerned. Mr.. Brig
hams plan contemplates the following:
A great university, with union of the
three higher educational institutions,
each separately operated, but working
together; the central seat of authority
and source of initiative to be, at Iowa
City, the present seat of the State Uni
yersity, but without any loss of power
or prestige now enjoyed by the separate
institutions; each of the three depart
ments or institutions to retain it's pres
emf faculty and trustees; each of the
three presidents to be an ex-official
member of a central board Of control
and three other members to be chosen
Dy LHC LTSlSeS OL lAo ~IAlCC llloIleu-
lions. one from each, all to give their
entire time to the administration of the
university, and the governor to APP
point a seventh member of the board
to he known as chancellor Of the uni
versity and chairman of the board.
Each of the faculties and board Of
trustees to be supreme in matters OF
purely local discipline and admisis-
tration. Under this plan the univer-
sity at Iowa City is to continue as the
seat Of learning in classics, liberal
arts, sciences and the learned profess
sions; the college at Ames to be the
seat of learning in agriculture and me-
chanic arts; the Normal school to con-
tinue as the seat Of normal work and
kindred instruction. All questions
arising from the tapping of courses
and duplication are to be determined
by the central board.

Mill at Spencer May Be Turned Into

Spencer, April 3.-Owen Sheehan.

with a committee of Spencer business
men Wednesday and offered to sell the
machinery of his mill to them. The
meeting discussed the advisability of
purchasing with the idea of starting a
knitting factory in the place of the
present linen mill Mr. Sheehan gave
as his reason for wishing to sell the
fact that ne could not secure enough
flax to keep the mill running. The mat
ter was referred to a committee of five
who will report at another meeting on
the venture
