ingIy, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and

GAGNIER SIGNS UP.
LincoIn's Popular Shortstop Has Come
to Terms.

Lincoln, Neb., March 6.-A vol
luminous envelope bearing the post
mark of Detroit, Mich, has come
sliding into sthe home plate at Guy
Green's baseball Office, bringing joy to
Guy and to every Lincoln fan who
was fortunate enough to get next to
the cheerful information. 1t brought
the signed contract of Eddie Gagnier,
the boss shortstop of the Western
league and a prime favorite for the
past three years with local patrons of
the national game. Eddie had been
holding out for some mysterious reas-
on, and President Guys wonderment
had begun to turn to worry. Now it
is all explained, for with the contract
came letter giving the facts as to the
delay.
Bad news, however, is coming to
Guy Green mixed with the good. An
item in the st. Louis Sporting News,
dated Waterloo, Iowa, states that John
House. the Indian outfielder, pur-
chased by Mr.. Green from the Bur-
lington, Iowa, club, has quit his home
in Oneida Wis, and gone to Fresno,
Cal, to join the outlaw league. Mr.
Green has no direct information on
the subject. but rather fears that the
Waterloo item is correct. House was
not satisfied with the salary offered
by Guy, but instead of writing to the
Lincoln magnate and stating his OBJ
jections, he proceeded without further
ceremony to Jump to the outlaws.

Using one, too. He was 1.-the and will
lowy and had as much nerve as any
one. He made such record in semi
pro circles that Des MOines gave him
a try-out as a slab artist, and there
never was any question about his
making good. He was a regular the
first season. He pitched for two or
three years, but his ability as an in
fielder, and his value as a batsman
made it necessary for him to get into
the game regularly. That is how he
came to be a third baseman.
A Valuable Man.
With all his faults, Andrews is one
of the most valuable men to any team
few players who have have managed
teams who can play under another
manager without trying to run the team
his way. On the field he is aggressive,
and people who don't know him some
times misjudge him on that account.
Off the field he is a dandy good fellow,
and a capital story teller. Wfthal, he
is one of the most noted men in base
ball. He is known from coast TO coast
and from class D to the majors.
The news that Andrews will return to
Topeka settles the third base problem
in that city. None of the youngsters
that Cooley has on his string will be
able to supplant him.
Around the circuit. the old Western
league cities are glad that Andrews is
to play in the Western this year. They

talk.
Is Liked i'll Sioux City.
The Sioux City Tribune tells this good
story of him, which is but one of
thousand that might be told:
After all, Sioux City fans and other
Western league baseball lovers are to
have a chance to see our old friend Doe
Jason Andrews in action. Jason has
forwarded his signed contract to Man
ager Dick Cooley of Topeka and an
he is to play the game of his
life this season. Jason says he won't
stand for any kidding and that he is
going to be on the watercart from
start to finish. He advises Manager
Dick to stick on, too. Jason will get
a warm welcome from the fans every
where. He has his faults, but a big
heart and unfailing good nature make
up for his eccentricities- The last time
Jay was seen lin Sioux City he was
fired by the old ST. Joe club. He knew
1t was coming and he went out in
blaze of glory by tieing a tomato can
to a piece of binding Irvine, attaching
1T to his belt and trotting out to third.
The can proposition made a hit with
the crowd and even the ST. Joe man
agement had to laugh. But the vari-
Gus stockholders said Jason must go,
so he ratified his tin can out of the
Western and went into the Western
Association where he has been a warm
favorite for several seasons.

Lebo, Kan, March 6-The careless
failure of an Emporia woman to get a
legal separation from her husband has
just cheated owen Reeves, rs years old,
out of his fifteenth bride. Fourteen
weddings and fourteen partings COM
prise the domestic achievements of Mr..

he still regards marriage as a blissful
success. He is in the field for another
Mrs. Reeves.

together more than five years and then

man decides he likes a woman, he
should pop the question right away.
The quicker you pillow your corn, the

What kind of girl would you adj
wise me to marry, Mr.. Reeves?" asked
a young man.
The soldier and high private in the

MY boy he said, 'get good. fat,

other girls. and besides they are good
workers and take good care of a man."
When questioned today concerning
some of his marriages "Old Speedy
Reeves, crossed his legs reminiscently.
He spoke rambingly of his early years
and while calling the roll of his many
spouses, he paused often in perplexity.
1t was hard for his worn mind to
place the IA women in their right Sc
quence, and the name of one Mrs.
was a splendid housewife, slipped his
memory entirely.
The first two wives came from Cal

was Miss Angelina Nelson. She was
succeeded by June Washburn. The two
marriages took place before Reeves was
21 years old.

Something About the History
of TOpeka's Third Sacker.

Wherever DR.. Jay Andrews plays he
makes few enemies, says an ex-
change Likewise, the scrappy doctor
usually leaves a lot of warm friends
behind him, as he hops from one cir
cult to another. DR.. Jay got his start
in baseball in the old Western asso-
citation, which was made up Of many
of the cities which are now in the
Western league circuit. Since then he
has played in the Western league fire.
quently, his last appearance in that
class being in 1905 when he managed
the st. Joseph team for a time. 1t
was from st. Joe that Doc" came to
the Western association, and caught
on with Topeka for the tag end of the
season.
A Wise Ball Player.
The doctor is a wise ball player.
He was at one time, fit to play in big
league company, and he was in the
American league in it's first year, as
third baseman for the Buffalo club.
In 1901 Buffalo was dropped, and the
doctor dropped back with it, He want
ed to get. away from the New York
town. but he had to play some awful
ball before he succeeded. There was a
while that his errors were about as
numerous as his accepted chances, but
still Buffalo refused to attach the tin
can 1t came in due season, however,
and none was happier than the doughty
physician.
From Buffalo he trekked westward
clear to the Pacific coast league. That
was a classy circuit in those days but
doc" was good enough to shine even
among the many stars which were
there. He managed Tacoma for a
season or two, then drifted back again
to the middle west.
Andrews is a Washington, ILL.,, pro-
duct. Washington isn't a very big
town, but it must be remembered that
most of the good ball players come
from the rural districts. His parents
expected him to be a shining light in
surgery and sent him to Rush Medical
college to absorb all the knowledge
that was floating loose around that in
stitution. The boy absorbed a lot of
It, but he also got liking for baseball
while he was there. He used to play
ball about much as he attended
lectures. His absences from lecture
would just about tally with his atten-
dance marks on the ball field.
Played Every Sunday.
Sunday usually saw Andrews in
some of the smaller towns within a
hundred miles of Chicago, playing
with a semipro team. In those days
he was a pitcher, and a mighty prom

The Fort Worth team is in the cir
cult of the Texas league.
There will be several familiar West
ern association faces in the Fort
Worth team. Abbott, the old Topeka
first baseman; Forester, who twirled
for the Cooleysox, and Burns, the
southpaw who during 1907 served
them up from a Webb City uniform.
Fillman had a banner year last sea-
son in the field, having led the third
basemen by comfortable margin. He
also clouted the ball regularly, and as
usual ran bases in a sensational and
effective manner. He was the prize
run getter of the locals.
