gard to the matter can be seen by
reading the following clipping:

of the Central Association. Do they
suppose that after we have worked
five years to perfect the rightest.

Manager E. F. Egan, of the Burling-

ed of Mr.. Beldon Hills proposition to
divide the Three-Eye and the Central
Association circuits, mixing up the
cities and forming two new leagues
of them with the northern cities in
one and the southern cities in anoth-
err. The Central Association is one of
the rightest, highest little baseball
circles in the United States and it is
not believed wild horses could induce
its directors to listen to separation in
favor of building up a broken down
rival in a higher class.

Press Comment Of

While the visit Monday Of Messrs.
Sterne of Keokuk, Hofer of Quincy,
and Pomeroy of Kewanee, to Mon
mouth. for the purpose of looking over
that city as stamping ground for the
Central Association has heretofore
passed almost unnoticed, yet the out
come OF this little jaunt is of utmost
interest to the league. If these three
gentlemen are able to return home
and report successfully and can say
that the admission of Monmouth to
the circuit looks feasible, the make
up Of the league looks certain. The
visit was to have been made today,
but was postponed.
In speaking the other day of cir
cult with Monmouth and Galesburg
In place of Waterloo and Jacksonville,
Frank Belt, who has made schedules
for several years past, stated that It
would doubtlessly be one so compact
that the league would be winner by

There is still little wrangling over
the re-districting of the Three-Eye and
Central Association and following IS
given some of the press comment on
It:
Press Comment
Quincy Herald: Waterloo is not
any too certain about this proposed
re-districting of the Three-Eye league
and the Central association, for
through the papers of that city, the
association announces that when the
suit against the Central Association
comes up for trial next month Water
loo will. be on hand to fight for wha
it considers its rights. The Jackson
vile people have also announced thai
they will contest and the Waterloo
association promises the league ho
time when the fight starts.
If the reorganization of the two
leagues were such certainty, Meth
er of these two cities would go to the
expense of law suit in which Meth
er has show to win. Both cities
signed the constitution forming con
tract which can be terminated undel
certain conditions. These condition,
existed when the league voted boil
out of the circuit and that is all Their
is to it. Waterloo's attorneys ma.
put up a fight but any chance the cit,
might have to win out would be il
having the constitution declared Il
legal and even then It would b.
doubtful whether it would do then
any good as they had entered into thi
same illegal contract and had on tn,

known poem 1.-The Call Of Kansas
Mss Lapbam had charge or the music,
one number of the program being a
song by Wilbur Lapham. Later a
parody on "The Call of Kansas"
written by John W. Higinbotham,
was suug by four young men, and the
program was characteristically Kan
san throughout, the occasion being
hugely enjoyable affair.

Too Lonesome.

There was young man who had a
farm Of eighty acres with house on
it. He was ambitious, and eighty
acres seemed pitiiul slice to him,
and he wanted lot mure land, but
rolling acres came high, and he
realized that it would be long time
before he could have all he wanted
So he became interested in the
pretty books sent cut by philan-
thropists away In Manitoba or Brit
ish Columbia, and after reaiing
manv of them he came to the con-
clusion that the poor mans oppor-
tunity lies away ia those far regions,
where land is cheap, and where eyer
prospect pleases. SO he sold his eighty
acre farm, and he and his young wife
turned their faces to the north, ex-
pecting to live happy ever after.
That was three years ago. A few
days ago he returned to the old
nelghberhood, and rented the farm
that he used to own. and 10 now pre-
pairing for the seasons work. The
local paper prints an interview, in
which he expresses his happiness in
getting back to civilization.
'It was to lonesome up there" he
said; / guess Pm not cut out for a
pioneer, and l couldn't stand it. l
like to see somebody 20 past the
house once In a while"
That expresses whole lot In few
words. This young man used TO hav-
ing his mail delivered at his door
every day; he had telephone In the
house, and when his wife wanted to
commune with friends she could do IL:
there were Belghbers within easy dis
lance, and the county town was emily
a half hours journey distant. lie
didn't thipk of such things when he
moved into the wilderness; all he
thought of was getting more land;
and he became SO lonesome that 1t
broke his heart, and his wife was
twice as lonesome, and so he wisely
pulled ND his stakes and obeyed the
call of Kansas.
Hundreds OF people are being
beguiled into those vast territories
toward the Arctic circle by fine talk
of "the poor mans opportunity"
and it is possible that few Of them
ever think of the loneliness, which
is the NEST oppressive and discouag-
Ing thing in the worl3. 1t is well
enough for men to go il they want to,
but they shouldn't condemG their
wives to a lodge in some vast wilder
ness, unless the wives desire or need
the punishment.-Em Gazette.

Market Report,
Kansas City, Mo-. February

Kansas City, Mo-, February /, 1909.
Cattle receipts here last week were
"a 900 head, lightest week this year,
and other markets also lightly sup
piled. The storm came to late Ia the
week to account for The small run,
and the most plausible explanation
seems to be that there is general
shortage of cattle on feed ready for
market. This born out by the slim
run today at all points. The market
last week advanced 10 to Is cents
but the gain was grated under
strong protest, and trade lacked the
vim and yigor that sellers like to see.
Packers claim the price is to high for
heavy consumption. The average
price for beef steers on the markets
for January was highest 10 twenty
five years, and So cents per cwt higher
than the average January prices for
the last ten years, figures which seem
to bear out the contention of the
packers. The run here today is
10000 head, market uneveDly higher,
but nothing very choice In beef steers
included. Toppy steers have been
selling at SO IS to 1866, and are higher
today than any previous day this
year. Bulk Of steers sell at $3.50 to
So 80, cows SO 90 to S. 90 heifers up to
S. 10, bulls SO 25 to S. 90, calves $3.50
to $3.50, Country buyers paid up to
S. 80 last week for heavy feeders.
bulk Of feeders at S4.75 to $40,
stockers 1915 to SIS 20. Prices on
country grades were eneven last week
but averaged steady, and are strong
today. Stock COWS and heifers were
10 to 20 higher last week, sales at
So SO to 81 90.
The hog market made big gains
late last week aad the market Is to
Is higher today, although closing
sales today were weaker. Receipts
have been running IS percent below
year ago at the big markets since
the arst of the year, and although
the late advance In prices precipitated
campaign Of selling on the
provisions market, which caused the
weakness today, demand for hogs has
been urgent enough ~ keep the prices
going up. Heavy hogs sold at s6.40
to So 55 today, which was ten cents
higher than on Saturday, medium
weights Sc. 20 to So so, lights s5.ss 80
&c. 35, pigs 81 IS to $3.50. Average
weight here for January was 202
pounds, same time year ago 2l6 lbs.

tuberculosis Notes.

According To report issued recently
by the Local Government Board OF
London, the number of deaths from
tuberculosis in England and Scotland
has decreased by one-third In the last
so years, falling from 54,9lS in 1853 to
80, 749 during the past year, while the
death-rate per 10000 Of population
has fallen more than one half, or from
1913 TO 1l.5. In ireland, on The cou-
trary, the death rate per 10 600 has
increased in 40 years frem "a to 81.
Dr.. Arthur Newshslme attributes the
decrease in the mortality from con
sumption in England to effective seq
regation ard Institutional treatment
OF the advanced cases of the disease,
which are kn ,wn to be the center of
infection and spread of tuberculosis,
The Irish medical authorities at
tribute the increase in the amount OF
tuberculosis to a animation OF poor
housing, insufficient and unnourish
ing food, bad sanitation, especially In
the schools, and the large Irish emf
grafton.
Nine deaths from tuberculosis were
caused during the last year 10 the De-
partment of Finance of New York
City, due it is claimed, largely to
infection from the books aud papers,
After one of the bookkeepers In the
department died recently at his work
from a hem )rrage caused by con-
sumption, the city health authorities
closed the of1ice and made thorough
fun gation of the books and premises.
Consumption costs the United States
10000 lives of human beings, double
the number of cows and live stock,
and at least one billion dollars in
money every year.
Very few people use more than
a small percentage OF their lung
capacity, fact which tends to pro.
duce consumption, especially In school,
children,
Flies are sprsaders of consumption,
by carrying the germs about from the
sick to the well.
