THREE STATES NOW
/ IN IOWA BALL
''.. LEAGUE
Lack Of Population Keeps the
Organization Out of Glass
G, However.

Burlington, Iowa, April 2.-More at
tention will be paid to the news Of
the Iowa league baseball games this
season than ever before. Arrange
ments are being made to perfect the
means of publicity around the circuit
and the advent of Quincy and Jack
sonville, ILL.,, has added more than a
local interest to the coming season
contests.
Before. the league was purely a
state affair, but no wit includes two
states and portion of third, and it
is expected that Missouri will furnish
a large portion of the patronage of
the Quincy games. The Iowa league
directors and patrons are looking for
ward to better season financially
than they have ever had and no sea-
son has opened so encouragingly as
this.
A heavy downpour of rain during
the latter part of this week caused
some delay in the opening of the prac-
tice work. but the players are. many
of them, in excellent trim, and it is
expected the exhibition games now on
will show very satisfactory grade
of individual work.
Only two cities were opposed to the
Jacksonville schedule-Keokuk and
Quincy. Manager Hofer declares it
discriminates badly against Quincy.
He points out that out of the nine
teen Sundays, Quincy gets but eight.
while that city is one of the best
Sunday towns in Illinois. Manager
Egan is very we'll pleased with the
schedule, however. as it gives Bur-
lington ten Sundays.
The announcement that the Iowa
league could not go into class c, be-
cause of lack of population has
been minimized by the announcement
from Secretary Farrell. of the nation
al board, that If the Iowa league will
annex Hannibal and Muscatine, pay
ing the usual tax for such claim, that
that will give the league sufficient
population within the territory to en-
title it to membership in class c. 1t
is probable that the Iowa league d.
rectors will do this. OF course Han
nibal and Muscatine will not have
teams, in the league, but will not the
territory Of the Iowa league and may
be substituted at any time for any
one OF the present teams if any fail

It REEVES memory
New Rule Brings Back Memor.
les of Mike Kelly's Big
Sliding Trick.

One of the new rules adopted by
the major leagues at their recent
meeting in New York recalls one Of
the most famous players in baseball
history. The rule referred to is that
ner pass another in an attempt to
ged out" the runner who passes shall
be declared out.
It is calculated to prevent such
stunts as the world-renowned slide
pulled off by the great and only Mike
Kelly, when he was member of the
Chicago team. This happened in the
last half of the ninth inning, when
the score stood to 0 against Chi
cago. Kelly was on first base and Ed
Williamson was on second. and Arson
knocked a fly ball out into right field.
At the instant the fielder caught the
ball both Kelly and Williamson made
dash for second and third. The ball
was simply returned to the second
baseman. but Kelly slid in and beat
1t by hair. When Kelly arose from
the ground and saw Bill Sunday at
bat, he grabbed his arm, and pre-
tended to be writhing in agony. he
signaled to the umpire to call time.
Then he called to Ed Williamson to
come and pull his arm. While Ed
was doing so, Kelly whispered to him
as follows: "Say, Ed, when the pitch
er throws the ball in. I'm going to
start for third. This will draw the
ball down to catch me, and then you
make dash for the plate and I'll be
right behind you. By the time you
get near the plate the catcher will
be waiting for you with the ball, but
go as near as you can to the plate,
then open your legs wide and will
try to slide in" At the appointed
time Kelly dashed for third. The ball
was shot down to that base. and then
Ed made for home. while the third
baseman- sent the ball back to the
catcher. Kelly by this time had
rounded third and was right behind
Williamson, for whom the catcher was
waiting with outstretched arms. When
within few feet of the plate Will
Hanson halted, suddenly spread his
legs wide apart, and as the catcher
jumped forward to tag Ed. Kelly slid
between Williamson's legs and had
his fingers on the plate before the
catcher knew what had happened.
Chicago made another run in the
tenth inning, and this won the game.

Wagner tickle the brain and Mozart

AS these old songs compare with

Uncle TOMS Cabin" compare with
modern ones. 1t has survived all 9TH
ers and will continue to do so until
the end of time. No play written has
been produced more artistically nor
has any one been more mercilessly
butchered by transforming compan-
les.
For over twenty years, the great
merit of the Stetson company has made
1t the recognized exponent of Harriet

the name of Stetson has come to be
almost a part of the title. During the
action of the drama, all of the old
songs will be rendered by solo sing
ers, trios and quartettes, aided by a
chorus of fifty voces. The Stetson COM

to excel anything yet attempted even
by itself in the part. 1t Is play that

Geo. M. Cohan is evidently setting
pace for the writer's of so-called
musical comedy. Over a year ago he
remarked in a newspaper interview
that the eye was tired of tinsel and
color schemes, while the ear was
growing weary of clap-clap melody.

load of music has seen its day." re-
marked Mr.. Conan. True to his con-
victions his next play "Forty-Five Min
utes from Broadway" only contained
five musical numbers while the chorus
consisted of only eight girls and eight
men. 1t was daring innovation, yet,
the tremendous success of "Forty-Five
Minutes from Broadway" has proved
the wisdom of Mr.. Cohan's theory.

KeyhoId Tenure In London.

The curious custom of keyhold ten
ure still prevails at Crowland, the ia
nous abbey town in the Lincolnshire
fens where there are number of cot
tages which are neither copyhold, free
hold nor leasehold. They were origi.
nally built on waste land, and in each
case the possessor Of the key holds an
indisputed tenancy. Although some Of
the occupiers have replaced the mud
and matched dwellings of antiquity
with brick and slated buildings, they
have no power to sell or will them
away, for they have no deeds. On
tenant dying the first person to cross
the threshold takes his place If he SO
desires. Many devices have been re-
sorted to to obtain the keys. The prop
critics carry county vote, but the poor
law guardians always refuse to grant
relief to the tenants, London Globe,

THE AIR BRAKE.

1t Was Ushered Into Actual Use In
Most Dramatic Fashion.
The air brake was ushered into actu-
al use in most dramatic fashion. The
trial trip occurred in April, 1869. The
train selected was the Steubenville ac-
commodation, running between Pitts
burg and Steubenville, @.
When the train was going at full
speed, suddenly as he came around a
sharp curve the engineer saw a stalled
wagon in the middle of the track dead
ahead. With only hand brakes moth
ing could have prevented terrible
smashup. The formal time for the
trial of the air brake had not come,
but the brake was there, and in des-
peration, not believing for moment
that the thing could possibly avail, the
engineer threw on the air But it did
avail
The observers in the rear were al
most catapulted out of their seats by
the shock of the sudden stop. But
when they saw the engine fairly polk
ing it's nose into the wagon bed, so mar
row had been the margin between
safety and disaster, they forgot all
about their shock and stood in awed
silence. The air brake had come into
its wn.-Everybody's Magazine.

BOOKS AND BINDINGS.
A Critics Comparison Of the Modern

With the Ancient.
Zone of the Strangest things about
the early printing is the fact that the
paper and binding were so much bet
ter than we have nowadays" said ST.
Louis collector.
Il have books on my shelves printed
and bound by presumably reputa BILE
firms, and yet after six or eight years
of careful use the paper is coming to
pieces and the bindings are gone, while
side by side with them are books 300
years old with paper intact and the
bindings as good as new. The differ
ence is of course in honesty of ma
terial and work In the old days a
hide was allowed to lie in the tan
ner's watts for year before it was
thought fit for use. Paper was hand
made of real linen rags. Now book

rare, also the costly, exceptions It is
true that the high temperatures Of the
houses, the gases and coal fumes may
have something to do with impairing
leather bindings, for, as everybody
knows, a stout cloth or canvas binding
is better than the leather now used.
The same influences may also damage
the paper, but still the fact remains
that neither the temperature nor the
gases affect the work of the old print

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have ill
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close confine-
ment to home, Office or factory, and in
consequence the stomach must be treated
in natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS result

ahead OF the supply. To insure perfect
health every. tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood Ger
tain materials and return to it certain
others. 1t is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work of taking up from
the food what is necessary to make good,
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known to the Indians of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came to the knowledge of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly in professional favor for The cure
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles
These are found to be safe and yet GER

These are: Golden Seal root, Queen s

The medicinal principles residing in these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as a solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
