Popularity of Baseball.

Baseball has grown to gigantic pro- portions within the last 40 years, and the scientific work of the teams delight millions of spectators. There are so many things to admire in the game that it is impossible to describe them. It is also impossible to describe the wonderful amount of good that has been done by the celebrated Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters during it's B years experience. People all over the world have been cured by it after other remedies had failed. If you are nervous, sleepless, have no appetite, bowels costive, and feel run down, the Bitters is needed at once. Something else won t do in its place. It positively corrects ailments caused by .; disor- dGred stomach, liver or kidneys, such as poor appetite, nausea, bloating, backache, biliousness, fatulency, indi- gestion, dyspepsia, costiveness or ma laria.

GOOD NEWS FOR YUMA
Government Irrigation Project to be
 Completed Within Year. :

For the information of the public the following information regarding the Yuma project has been furnished by J. B. 1ippincott, supervising engineer of the reclamation service:
 In letter addressed to Gen. Frank c. Prescott, register of the United States land office at Los Angeles, Mr. Lippincott, under date of May ,, says:
 My Dear Sir: I have your favor of April 27th inqufring concerning the Yuma Project. In reply I will state that work is well under way at Yuma on the dams and the levees, and we ex- pect~t0 start construction of the canals within a few weeks. The time for the completion of the contract on the dam is July, 1907, and it is our opinion that the work will probably not be complet- ed before that time. The other work under the. project will be timed so as to be finished about simultaneously with the work on the dam. In the meantime there will be no opportunity for obtaining water under government canals under the Yuma Project, but there is a great deal of work to do, both for laborers and mechanics, in connection with this construction. We are also employing all the animals we can get in the country.
 On the California side all the land to be irrigated is in the Yuma Indian res ervation, which we propose ultimately opening, but the date for which has not been set. On the Arizona side most of the lands are either patented or claimed by various settlers. A great many of these claims, however, are of very doubtful validity, and possibly prospective settlers might investigate them to their advantage.
 A Water Users Association has been organized at Yuma called the Yuma County Water Users Association, the purpose of which is to contract with the. Secretary of the Interior, and also to handle the irrigation affairs of the community. We frequently refer par ties seeking information concerning these projects to the water users asso- citation.
 There will be about 100, 1000 acres of land irrigated under the Yuma Project and this land will be suited to the growth of all the different varieties of crops that are, grown in tropical re- gions. The water supply is ample, soil is very fertile, and the climatic condi- tions permit of continuous growth of vegetation.
 I will be very glad to furnish you with any additional information regard ing, this or. any other. feature of our work that-I am connected with. ...-z Yours very trnly,
 ..-z J. B. Lippincott,
 Supervising Engineer. l

The Wrong Man.

The negro, Alfred Code, arrested iu the railroad yards last Thursday morn ing by Under Sheriff Walter Riley, proved to be not the man wanted. He was thought to be the negro who shot a brakeman named Fred Ericson near Saugus, Cal, April 3. Sheriff White of Los Angeles, who came after the prisoner, felt sure he was the right man. When Code was taken to the Sisters hospital in Los Angeles the wounded brakeman could not identify him, and he was released.
 ltricson is Southern Pacific brake man. He attempted to eject three ne- gro hoboes from his train and one of them shot him in the abdomen. At first it was thought he could not re- cover.

 The Southern Pacific Company has had force of men at work for several days digging sewer ditch and putting in S-inch piping on Main street. The new sewer is to extend from the round house to the river. The condition in which Main street was being left led Mayor DeMund to inform the foreman of the gang that he must do some fix ing; that the street must be left as he found it. It seems that in filling in, the blue dirt surfacing was dumped in first, with the sand and soft dirt on top, which would in case of rain put the street in bad shape.

Whatever system of drainage of

ed, it is certainly doomed to failure
and will undoubtedly cost millions of
dollars"
Test With Oar.
+. M. Taman also a resident of
Kissimmee, and one who has made
several hunting trips through the
Everglades, has filed an affidavit that
supports in every particular the noes
that have been published in the
Times-UniOn from time to time. re-
garding the character of the land in
the Everglades.
He too, maintains that the muck
lands, if drained, are in danger of de-
struCtiOn by, fire, and says the charac-
ter Of the soil is soft and slushy,
and that, when the water is removed,
it is certain to shrink considerably.
In relating his experience with this
Everglade land. the afiant notes one
instance that is of unusual general in
terest ad well to the point regarding
the character of the soil. This is as
follows:
The soil of the big saw-grass near
Lake OkeechObee is soft and slushy
so that an oar, pushed down into it
and loosened, will come up again"

All of the three affidavits, portions
Of which are quoted above, give min
ute and careful descriptions Of the

learned to know them from many trips
through them. All the atlantis are
well known residents of Osceola
county and are absolutely familiar
with the territoEE included in the pro-
posed drainage district. the lands Of
which were to be assessed, to secure
funds for carrying out the project.
Additional strength is given the
affidavits from the facts, sworn to by
each aff1ant. that he owns no land in
the district and so is no wise person
ally affected by the imposition of the
tax.
The three affidavits, parts of which
have been quoted. were selected at
random from the mass submitted by
the compliments in the suit, and an
almost limitless number can be ad-
duced in support of them, nearly half
a hundred having been filed in this
case alone.

COL. JOHN dunn
HAS PASSED
AWAY
Died Last Night After a Residence
of Over Fifty Years in
Pensacola.

Col John Dunn, for years one of
the most prominent citizens of Pensa-
cola, passed away last night at the
corner of Palafox and Main streets.
where he conducted a lodging house.
He had been in failing health for two
or three years, but it was not until a
few months ago that he was COMPEL.
ed to take to his bed. He never
arose, and death came at 10 o'clock
last night to relieve his suffering.
Colonel Dunn, as he was familiar
ly called, was one of the pioneers in
the hotel and restaurant business. He
came to Pensacola in 1853, and in 1856
opened a restaurant, later connecting
a wine room with it. Since that time
he has been constantly in this line of
business. making over fifty years Of
service.
Colonel Dunn was known as one of
the most charitable men in the city.
His business in past years was a lu-
crative one, and no one ever asked
for assistance from him but that they
received it. For years he conducted
what was known as Dunn's Exchange
restaurant, running wine room in
connection, and it was one of the most
popular places in the city.
During recent years his fortunes be-
gan to wane, however, and his pat
ronage fell away, until finally he was
compelled to give up the Bay hotel on
Palafox street, where he had been do
ing business for years. When he left
there he rented the place where he
died.
The colonel had many friends in
Pensacola, and there will be many
sorry to learn of his death.
He was member of the Catholic
Knights of America, and the funeral
will be conducted by that organiza-
ton.
