SEASON OF BASE BALL
SUCCESS OF WESTERN LEAGUE
Des Moines Wins Pennant-Denver in
Second Piace-Pueblo Did Good
Business After Taking Colo
rado SPRINGS Team.

Denver, Sept 2G.-The Denver News
yesterday sums up the baseball season
of the Western league as follows:
The Western league season of 1905
closed yesterday. Des Moines won the
pennant. From the fagpole in the
park there the prize flag will float until
the season of 1906 has been played.
Denver finished a close second, Omaha
third, Sioux City fourth. Pueblo fifth
and St Joseph last. Had the season
lasted a week longer the Grizzlies
would probably have captured the pen.
nant.
1t was successful year throughout
the circuit, save in ST. Joseph. Before
Colorado Springs dropped out of the
league The team was losing money. 1t
was transferred to Pueblo, and the
credit side of the ledger there will
likely show ii fair earning for the short
time the team played under the new
management. Denver was the banner
city of the entire circuit in attendance
and earnings, as it has always been.
During the season nearly 100000
paid admissions were registered, as
against nearly the same number for
the season of 1904. r. r. Burke owner
of the local team, figured up his re-
ceipts casually last night and placed
the gross figures at about 100000. He
was unable to say just what the net
would be, but he thought ii would top
any of the other teams by probably
double. From players alone he will re-
ceivc $500. Five of them were sold
to the St. Louis Nationals and Amer
leans However the money for them
will not be forthcoming until next
June. The players sold were HartZell,
Hoelskoetter. Perrine, Hickman and
Sharp. Three of them were drafted
and the other two sold outright. 1t is
safe to say that the wad of the Denver
owner of the Grizzlies will be fattened
by approximately $4,000 as a result
of the years business.
Advices show that all the eastern
teams save St. Joseph made money on
the season. Des Moincs had the larg
est attendance, barring Denver, with
Sioux City Il few hundred behind and
Omaha next. Sioux City netted over
$4,000 from gate receipts and privi-
leges, paying for the downtown park
built last spring, and $4,000 was real
lied from the sale of players.
Des Moines will probably net $4,000
from gate receipts. The team is said
to have received $11 800 from the sale
of players alone. Rourke, at Omaha.
is said to have cleared between $1,000
and $4,000 from attendance and play
ers. Sioux City is said to have had
the highest paid team in the league.
Seven men received from 5000 to $3.50
month.

BY VICE PRESIDENT FAIRBANKS
Says Republicans Will Readjust Tariff
When Demand Exists-Will Also
Enact Just Railroad Leg
isIation.

Bellefontaine. Ohio. Sept 24.-Beau-
tiful weather and immense crowds
were features of the opening Of the
Republican state campaign here yes

parts Of the state arrived early In the
day 10 participate in the parade which
was held during the morning.
Judge Dow was chairman OF the
meeting. Music was furnished by the
Republican Glee Club of Columbus.
and the address Of Vice President
Fairbanks followed He said:
Let well enough alone is a we'll
worn phrase, yet is possesses great vir-
tue. When business conditions are
unexcelled, when both labor and capt.
tai are generally and profitably en-
ployed, 1t is not the part of wisdom to
revolutionize political parties.
"A Republican Congress will read
just tariff schedules whenever such re-
adjustment is essential TO preserve the
integrity of the system and to main
tain the law In wholesome operation.
Change will not be made for the mere
sake Of change, or to promote free
ltrade, whose disastrous effects we
lwel understand. Ans adjustment OF
tduties will be made responsive to a
sound economic demand Whenever
Esuch demand exists, Congress will in a
twise and patriotic way give effect to
it. 1t will not proceed in manner
to disturb and unsettle, but to main
II tain the stability of commercial condI-
tions. The subject will be considered,
not in narrow and technical spirit.

with full knowledge, and not by an ap-
peal to prejudice or by loud acclama-

Of mere personal or party politics, but
according to principles of strict JUS
tice: in the light of right as between

promote and insure the rights of indi-
lyduals, interests and localities. Legis-
Iption which had been hitherto enacted

las not accomplished all that was in
Nnded or all that was deemed neces-
saly.'
1.-THE President has brought the mat
ter to the attention of Congress and
Congress may be relied upon to pro-
ceed, in the light of past experience
and present information, to enact such
laws as will effectually remove the
evils which confessedly exist.
There must be an end of discrim-
nation.
Republican triumph In Ohio will
mean the endorsement of the admins.
ration of President Roosevelt. 1t will
show that the people are satisfied not
only with the soundness of the policies
of the great Republican party, but that
they approve the able and successful
manner in which the affairs of the
nation are administered by him."

YELLOW FEVER GERM
DISCOVERY NOW ANNOUNCED
Physicians Can Now Identify the Dis
ease in Its Earliest Stages
Success Of New Orleans
Experiments.

New Orleans La, Sept. 2G.-The vel.
| low fever germ has been discovered.
! Careful tests during four weeks in the
Emergency hospital by Drs. p. +.
Archinard, J. Bierney and Guthrie and
Prof J. c. Smith, a biologist, have re-
suited in the discovery, identification
and positive proof of the germ, which.
after conveyance by the stegomyia
mosquito, causes yellow fever in all
persons into whose blood it enters.
In nearly dozen cases yellow fever
was diagnosed on the appearance of
the germ in the patients blood. al
though there was no other signs of yell
low fever
This is said by physicians TO be one OF
the most important discoveries in the
field of medicine for fifty years, or
since Pasteur made his famous expert
ments with cholera.
Any physician, it is stated, can now
identify the disease in its first stages.
before the well-deiined symptoms have
appeared. 1t is said to furnish an alb
solute and indisputable test of the
scourse of the tropics and cannot be
confounded with the germs which re-
semble yellow fever in its first stage.
The life history Of the organism
which DR.. Archinard found was fol
lowed and its presence in the blood
of yellow fever patients confirmed.
Then diagnosis was made by the mi
croscOpe of the blood Of every patient
who came into the hospital, and since
this was done the later diagnosis has
shown the symptoms of yellow fever.
In some cases the patient when eX-
amined showed no symptoms whatever
OF the fever, but in every case when
the microscopic diagnosis revealed the
germ the patient within one, two or
three days, developed albumen and
jaundiced condition of the skin, show
ing a characteristic clinical picture OF
yellow fever. A physician of the Ma
rine hospital service said to-day:
"The profound significance of this
discovery cannot well be Overesti-
mated. It's benefit TO the South and to
humanity is great. 1t gives an accu
| rate and scientific method of investi-
eating the mild cases which occur ev-
cry summer and which physicians are
reluctant to diagnose as yellow fever.
Any physician, with the aid of the
microscope, can recognize the germ

MIDDLE PARK OIL STRIKES.
Oil Found at Depth of sixty Feet Near
CRANKY,

Denver, Sept. 2G.-Rcsidents in the
neighborhood of CRANKY, on the MoffaC
road. are greatly excited over the dis
covery Of oil in that town. The flow of
oil was struck by the Frontier Invest
ment Company, which was drilling for
artesian water, and had only sunk
about sixty feet. Two barrels of oil
gushed forth in a short time yesterday.
Granny is a new town lying about
ten miles this side of Hot Sulphur
Springs, lying in MiCdle park. There
are abou. twenty houses there. and it
is at Ihis point that the stage lines
branch off for North park and Grand
lake. The state has just completed
a new wagon road from CRANKY to
North park.
Numerous kilograms were received
by officials of the road here yesterday
telling o: the oil strike. At first blue
oil shale was turned up, but later quite
little fow of oil followed. Reports
are still meager, however, and do not
indicate whether the strike will prove
extensive or not.
The find resulted in tremendous
amount OF excitement as the news
spread, and yesterday at the Denver
Land Office, about 5000 acres of land
were filed on. Claims are being stakcd
out all along up Willow creek the Mid
die Park valley at Cranky being a mile
wide. The nature of the country and
its formation is said to be very favor
able for oil.
The discovery of pure silica was also
made in digging the CRANKY well, the
assay showing ninety-seven per cent
