Bailey of Britt, who is violent
standpatter and is in the violent ward
for safe keeping, says the Sioux City
Journal is worth a years subscription
every week now. We do not consider
it any better than the Burlington
Hawkeye, the Cedar Rapids Repub-
lican, the Iowa City Republican, the
Des Mones Capital and forty or fifty
other Republican papers. They all
suit the Democrats.

Senator Knox, the trust-owned sen
ator from Pennsylvania, says BRYAN
has opened his mouth and put his foot
in it, Isn't that just awful, and just
think of Knox being opposed to gov
eminent ownership of railroads. Why
Knox is owned body, soul and breech-
es by the trusts, and yet he pretends
to tell the people what Bryan ought
to talk about. What nerve!

Nick Lorgworth, President Roose-

is coming to him. He has been turned
down as a delegate to the state con-

his extreme popularity as the son-in-
law of the President. He stands a
good chance to be defeated for con-
gress, and wouldn't the Democrats be

Senator Dick Routs the Ohio Re-
publicans' is headline in Repub.
lican papers. That sounds good to a
Democrat. 1t sounds like 1890 and
1892, when everything was going
Democratic. The Ohio Republicans
are fighting one another a good deal
harder than either faction is fighting
Democrats. Iowa Republicans can
take lessons from them in promoting
hramony."

The Republicans of Indiana are
planning to make fight on Tom Tag
CARTS hotels. While they are SO anx-

Augean stables, what's the matter
with turning Ex-Governor Taylor

trial? Sauce for the goose ought to
be sauce for the gander.

VISIT OF NEWBERRY
ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF NAVY IN
 PENSACOLA.
Inspecting Proposed Location of im- mense Craving Dock for Which BOnaparte Has Recommended
 Appropriution of IF, 100000.

Pensacola, Fla. March 2o--(Special.) Hon. w. T. Newberry, Assistant Sec retary of the Navy, is at the Pensacola navy yard making a thorough inspec- tion of that place He arrived here on the despatch boat Scorpion and had rough passage from New Orleans. Yes terday the boom of cannon from the navy yard and from the battleship Texas notified those in Pensacola Of the Assistant Secretary's arrival. The firing of the salutes could be distinctly heard in Pensacola, and caused many windows to rattle. This was on &C., count of the wind being strong from the southwest.
 On account of the indictment weather, the Assistant. Secretary had but little opportunity yesterday to inspect the ward or the various departments that are turning out work there, but today he is making a thorough and system atic inspection, especially of the pro- posed location of the immense graving dock, for which Secretary Bonaparte has asked Congress to allow an appro- priation of about $2,O00,0U0. Soundlngs have been made at the proposed loea- tion and plans drawn, and these will be submitted to Mir. Newoerry. 1t Is not known what date he will leave here, owing to the very rough weather which now prevails in the gulf. The seas are running mountain high, caused by wind velocity of about forty-nve miles an hour, which has prevailed here for the past twenty-four hours.

proficient in this trick. They don't DIT the ground too much. l insist on ny players hitting the dirt al eve.s pt.s a,s,- siole chance. There could pc tf r,r,.s .,,. provement in this department II nor players would try to acquire the twist slide.

 The principal is the same as o0y guiding sled with is legs The poay Is guided with the legs. whether tne body be twisted to the rlgnt or leIs depends on where the paseHlsan s..at a, ,h.. bag, the idea Is to throw the poay ou,- ward and away from him; ana ll ne IT playing back, the body Is draWn lo- ward the lnfield and away rom hin The reasons are apparent
 The chances are that the baseman will miss the body, and he has only tne leg or foot to touch. .-at pothsIh him more than when he can toucn the body. The cases I nave lust menuon- ed refer to sliding into second oase. The third base slide Is somewnat dii. . ferent When a left-handed bitter IS up. or a fast-hander, third paSemen can't play deep, and snev are playing in on the grass d good deal oI thelr time To head off a steal they nave to back up. and yet watch the catcher: The head-foremost slide is the best for third base, but for no other base.
 This Is different play altogether from the one at second base. ine pooy is thrown out toward the outfield to elude the third baseman's reach. wnile the outstretched arm touches the nag. If the third baseman has had to back up, he can't get you unless on the arm and that Is a small target to aim for When the throw is coming from the catcher the runner should never slide l in front of the third bag.
 As a rule shortstops have the Dettel | chance to get man at second base. at | the play is in front of them oftenel | than it Is with the second baseman ,wht | frequently is moving In the, same al 1 rectiou as the runner. That is situa l tion that depends on what's doing, or what the signals are. who the battei is and what understanding there | | between the pitcher. catcher and field CT. Pitchers pitch good deal of what
 doing on the bases. I believe there ar times when 1t is a good thing to slid for first base. A fast man often fool the umpire in so doing"

Ali Hansen, an ar,9.Ierynlan from Fort Barrancas, made an unsuccessful attempt this morning about 2 o'clock to saw one of the steel bars of the city jail, and thus gain his liberty. Hansen has been in jail for some weeks and during this time has twice made his escape, to be recaptured both times and returned to jail This morning he was occupying a cell with another artillery man, and, thinking the latter asleep proceeded to attempt to saw one of the steel bars of the cell. He had procured a piece of steel and made a small saw of it. While he was at work the other artilleryman awoke and saw what was occurring. Not caring to get mixed up in any jail deliveries, he called one of the oficers and told him what was being done. Hansen was taken from the cell and placed in dungeon.

 Case of Billy PhyIe,
 If recommended by Southern league I directors at their last meeting, recent iy held in New Orleans to remove the ban which prohibits William Phyle from engaging in his chosen profession as ball player, Is acted favorably upon by the national commission. 1t is prob able that the man who caused such a ripIe in the South on 1908. will again wear a uniform in some club of the American Association. Three clubs in that league are after his services: Il Phyle Is reinstated to good standing; Memphis will have first say and will be up to the local management to dis pose of or retain his services.
