hands of the Indians with whom
they were playing.
O'Day tells an interesting story
OF the affair which he says he will
remember until his dying day.
Crawford, whose great playing did
much toward the winning OF the
pennant by Detroit last year, and
ODay, joined the Nebraska Indian
team early in the spring OF
1899. Besides Green, the owner,
they were the only two white men
on the team and all OF the Indians
were fun hooded.

100 HEAD OF SHEEP SAVED
Number of Farm Implements
went up in. Smoke.
It is Supposed That the Barn was
Fired by rramps-The Total
Loss Amounted to S., 900.

Two fine road horses, sixteen head
of hogs and one sheep were roasted
alive when fire destroyed the large
hay barn of John Imbody, of five
miles south OF Agosta, Monday night.
The fire broke out shortly after
nine o'clock. The Imbody family
had retired for the night and the fire
had gained great heaIway before 1t
was discovered. The flymes were first
noticed by George Obedier "A neighbor,
who hurried to the home and awak-
ened Mr.. Imbody. Several desperate
efforts were made to save the live
stock, but the flames had gained pos
session ad the rescuers could only
stand and look on. One hundred
head of sheep, housed In a shed ad-
joining the burning building were
saved. Besides the destruction of the
live stock and building, large
quantity of farm implements was
burned. Two farm wagons. spread
err, corn planter, plows and other
valuable implements were total
loss. Fifteen tons of hay were also
destroyed.
The origin of the fire Is not known.
II is thought to bave started in the
north haymow, and Mr.. lmbody is OF
the opinion that tramps set 1t on fire.
The barn was one of the finest in
that vicinity. IL was three stories in
height and seventy-six by forty-seven
feet In dimensions. Ii was practically
a new building and had been con-
structed tho roughly up-to-date.
The fire caused a total damage OF
about $1,000. The total insurance on
the property was $1,000. the build
ing was insured for almost full value
but the destruction of live stock and
farm implements was a total loss.

DAUBERT HAS
BRILLIANT FUTURE
Former Marion Player Shows
UP Well.
Will not Stick with Cleveland but
His Future 10
Assured.

Jake Daubert, last years first base
man for Marion in the o. & p. league
who was drafted by Cleveland, is
making an enviable reputation in the
training camp at Macon.
, When he struck Macon two weeks
ago he weighed only 153 pounds.
Now he weighs l59 and is still grow
ing. Sickness in his family and many
sleepless nights for him had pulled
him down in weight and health dur
in gthe winter and he was not feel
ing very clipper when he struck the
camp.
~ have found big league train
ing camp so different from what
expected" he says. 1T has made me
feel better than ever. When | came
here | thought that the veterans
would laugh at me and make me
wish that | had never left the bush
league. But every player has treat
ed me grand. In fact, they have
treated me as one of them and
helped me to improve my form. 1t
may be that i am not ready for the
eague, but | think with what | have
learned down here and what | should
pick up under care taking minor
league manager, | should get there
within short time.
Good first basemen are not so
very numerous and feel that ! have
1t in me to get to the top. ! would
like to go to Nashville, for from
what ! have heard of Manager Bern
ard, he must be a splendid man TO
work with and for. II he decides
to take me shall give him the best
/ have got and work to land a per-
manent job in the big league after
all"
There Is no denying that Jake is a
good ball player. He is going TO be
very brilliant first baseman some
day. He has II on many OF them
now, but when 1t Is taken into con-
sderation that he has been playing
first base only one season, ,,it can be
seen that he Is not finished sacker
just yet.

accomplished so much for the de-
velopment of the Inland Empire
and the Northwest.
"The effect of developing the
apple industry will be felt in every
branch of business. Many young
orchards will be bearing fruit In
a short time. A great amount of
new territory which the railways
are opening up is ideal for the
production OF the big red apple.
This will mean a larger population

JAPS TO STOP
PATENT PIRACY
Are Forced to Enact q Law
Protecting Foreign Trade
Marks.

Toxic, March 3l.-The Japanese
government is now fully alive to the
urgent necessity OF remedylng the
abuses which at present flourish in
connection with the piracy and purely
speculative registration of patents
and trade marks, and conventions
between Japan and the United States
and Japan and Great Britain cover
ing patents and trade marks are TO
be signed shortly
These, 1t Is hoped, will do much
ito remedy a situation that has re-
|sulted in undoubted injustice to for
leign manufacturers, whose labels
have been initiated In this country for
the purpose of finding market for
an inferior quality of goods.
III is also the custom OF Japanese
merchants to place on the market. for
example, brand of home made
Scotch whiskey In bottles bearing a
label almost exactly similar to that
used by we'll known distilling firm
with an established reputation. The
Japanese label will differ from the
labels OF the Scotch firm in some
particular, discernible only on close
comparison. So far as the average
Japanese ignorant or English IS con-
cerned this difference would not ex-
cite suspicion and the native con-
sumer would purchase the Japanese
imitation in the belief that he is get
lting the imported article.
The Japanese authorities, how
ever are beginning to realize that
the present trade mark law Is de-
,fectiye and that not only foreign but
also many bona hde Japanese mer-
chants are sufferers from the lax NOR
lality which prevails in certain quart
lers. With reference for example, to
the grand exposition of 1912, prepara-
ltions for whcih are now under way.
| 1t was early felt that any suspicion
OF danger to the patent and trade
mark rights 70 foreign exhibitors
would prove fatal to the prospects
/ OF the undertaking.
"A bill providing for the efficient
protection OF all foreign exhibits has
lalready passed the diet and the good
i faith OF the government in promot-
ing this measure cannot be doubted. !.
1t is also expected that an early
EFFORT will be made to amend the ex-
liseiDg patent and trade mark law
with a view to bringing II into line
with English and American practice.
