DON'T GET THIRSTY
 WHILE TRAVELLING
Order Out That No More Liquor Shall
 Be Sold.

The Pullman company has decided to discontinue the sale of liquor on
 it's cars in every part of the United
 States, the order to go into effect as soon as the liquors now on hand can be disposed of without loss.
 An order to this effect was sent out from Chicago several days ago to va rious district superintendents throughout the United States. It is expected to begin in the East and work Westward, and the order be- comes operative in New England and the middle States about March ]. Not only have the changed condi- tions of the last twelve months cut deeply into the profits formerly de- rived from this source, but on ionS runs liauor can be sold for only DOT tions of the distance, and the com pany is constantly in danger of pros- ecution for lawbreaking through care
 lessness of employees.
 James Martin, head of the Philadel-
 phia division of the Pullman company, admitted that arrangements are being |pushed forward as rapidly as possible toward discontinuance of sales in that lState.

ARRANGE SPORT FOR
 JACKIES AT FRISCO

] San Francisco, Feb. 20. Flight Promoter Jim Croffoth is completing plans for his contribution to the en- 1 tertainment of the Jack Tars of the battleship fleet upon their arrival in San Francisco. 1t will take the form of a big program of boxing for the first or second Saturday afternoon after the arrival of the fleet in the bay to which both officers and the men would be admitted without charge. The box seats will be re-. served for the officers of the fleet, while the remainder of the big arena will be thrown open to the men.
 The invitation to the boats will be presented to Admiral Evans upon the arrival of the fleet in Magdalena Bay. In the meantime Coffroth will communicate with the entertainment committee, which will have direct charge of the athletic events which will be held during the presence of the fleet here, so that the boxing may be incorporated in the regular list of events and may not conflict with any plans the members of the committee may make.
 The boxing carnival will probably
 consist of six six-round bouts be- tween some of the niftiest men on the coast. Jim Jeffries has agreed to referee one of the bouts and will not expect his usual fee of 1000 for his services.

RASEBALL MAGNATES
 GATHER AT CAPITAL
Many Notables Are to Attend Big Meeting of Southern Baseball As. sociation in Little Rock Fri
 day and Saturday.

Little Rock, Feb 20.--Baseban men are beginning to arrive here today for what is expected to be the great est gathering of devotees of the na- tional sport ever held in Dixie. The occasion is the annual spring meeting of the Southern baseball association to be held here tomorrow and Satur- day.
 Ran Johnson, president of the Amer ican League, will be guest of honor. Another will be Booster" Reagon, Of Boston, a wealthy baseball man. Reo- resentatives from newspapers in the Southern League will attend. Gov. Pindall and Mayor Lennan have been invited to take part in the social func- tons. The Country Club and the Marion Hotel banquet hall have been 4endered for the purpose. A trip to Hot Springs Is included in the pro- gram of entertainment.
 The only change in the circuit oi the Southern Association this year is the dropping of Shreveport and the substitution of Mobile, which finds it. self back in tho big league Of Dixie after fifteen years absence. The southern Alabama metropolis was in the Cotton States League last year. Shreveport. which made way for Mo- bile, will play Texas League ball this year.
 Mobiles last appearance in the Southern Association was ill lS93, when it was one of twelve clubs.
 The same number composed the Ma tional League, and baseball promoters in the South, then unversed in the twelve-club proposition fioundered through that last season of the dozen cities. Patrons only gave half-heart- ed support to the game.
 Attendance figures given out show that 500 paid admissions was a good average in Augusta, which club led the league. In the height of the sea- son, which was then in July, the at tendance hardly went beyond that number, except in Memphis, New Dr. leans, Nashville and one or two other cities.
 Augusta, Memphis, Montgomery, New Orleans, Charleston, Savannah, Atlanta, Macon, Birmingham, Mo- bile, Nashville and Chattanooga .composed the league. Georgia led, with four representatives. Tennes- see with three, South Carolina and Louisiana with one each.
 Starting like wildtire each season. the blare and flash of baseball talk dwindled and interest generally sub sided before July. It was usually on the glorious Fourth that the South ern League attached itself to a sky rocket and disappeared.
 Mobie's last year was no excep- tion. The season of 1894 was even worse. Only four clubs started i'll the free-for-all, and they gave up the fight on July !, although Mem phis and Atlanta played a game the next day. Nashville was in the lead, but was first to quit.

Consider
Inequality

A good tree at a fair price Is
cheaper than tree of questionable
worth as gift. The cost of a tree
is not measured by the few cents
you first pay for it; the time spent
in bringing it into bearing and the
interest on your land are much
larger factors.
The trees we grow are superior
in every respect. Our Nursery is
in the heart of the Yakima Reserva-
ton, isolated from old orchards or
forests, hence free from pest or
contamination. This with the eX-
ceedingly fertile virgin soil and
fine climate enables us to put on
the market trees not only clean and
healthy, but possessing splendid
root system that brings them into
early bearing, the prime essential
for the commercial orchardist.
If first-class quality, prompt serv-
ice, courteous treatment and care
full, systematic handling of your or
ders are worth considering, we
want your business.

In its article on the subject
The Globe-D Democrat says that
the house-to-house canvass
shows conclusiyely that nearly
half Of the votes returned as
cast for Cowherd were frandu-
lent, and that 'the cemeteries
were seached and two dead men
were brought forth to give Cow
herd votes"
But there is nothing in the
figure to indicate that the two
dead men voted for Cowherd
rather than for Hadley, Ball,
Wallace or Stapel. So far as
the table is to be taken as evil
it is equally apparent that
Cowherd was not the bene-
1ciary of all the fraud, for the
simple reason that Mr.. Hadley
received 81 votes and only 12
men we're found who admitted
hat they voted for him Tndaod
tignres seem &c 80 Indicate indicate tirat
'omething over 81 per cent Of

The time has come for working

The U. S. Judge at Toledo has
