B. 3. cHAFF.

President W. e. Bryan of the Wa1sau
base ball club, at a meeting of the
national commission held in Chicago
last week, put before that body the
proposition of the Minnesota Wisconsin
league maintaining teams in the Twin
cities nevt season. The proposition
met with : adverse decision.
At the same meeting Mr.. Bryan, Pres.
Moll of the WI. league and Chas.
Ferguson, former manager of the Wau.
sau team, appeared in behalf of Wau-
sau in two disputes over players. San
Francisco had claim against Wausau
for $500, the purchase price agreed to
be paid for Pitcher Theobald The
latter never, signed contract with
Wausau, but went to. st. Paul, where
he failed to deliver the goods and was
Smned over to a minor league team
This dispute was settled by St. Paul
agreeing to pay the money. The other
claim was that of Toledo for the pur-
chase of Centrefelder Ward Miller,
who later was drafted by the Chicago
Cubs. This was settled by Appleton,
which secured the Wausau franchise,
agreeing to assume the responsibility
Atthe same conference Appleton agreed
to pay Wausau $500 for its title to
Pitcher Dunbar and Catcher Erickson
who were drafted by st. Paul and
Minneapolis respectively. This sum
will make 81, 400 Wausau secured for
its players.
There is movement on foot to unite
the interests of the Minnesota Wiscon-
sin. the Lake Shore and the Chicago
base ball leagues for mutual protection
against the drafting system. President
Carney of the Lake Shore. and presi-
dent Elliott of the NV. are heartily
in sympathy with the movement.
Quite a number of those interested in
the WI. league are much worked up
over the question, 'What will be don
with the 1908 pennant." At the time
the annual meeting was held, when
Wausau and La Crosse were ousted
from the league, President Bryan of the
Wausau club refused to accept the pen
nant, saying piece of crepe would be
more acceptable to Wausau. Someone
suggested that the league purchase the
pennant by giving Wausau $50 for it.
This was done and it is at present in
the possession of President Moll, who
don't know what to do with it. 1t has
been suggested that it be presented to
the players who won it for Wausan, but
this has been objected to.
Manager Ferguson is building up a
strong team for Appleton and has ar
ranged a two weeks training trip
through Illinois, Iowa and Missouri.
He has twelve new men signed, besides
many of last years Wausau team.

A Common Cold

We claim that if catching cold could
be avoided some of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases would never be heard
of. A cold often forms culture bed
for germs of infectious diseases. Con-
sumption, pneumonia, diphtheria and
scarlet fever, four of the most danger
Gus and fatal diseases, are Of this class
The culture bed formed by the cold
favors the developement of the germs
of these diseases, that would not other
wise find Judgement. There is little
danger however, of any of these dis
eases being contracted when a good ex-
pectorant cough medicine like Cham
berIain,s Cough Remedy is used II
cleans out these culture beds that favor
the development Of the germs OF these
diseases. That is why this remedy
has proved so universally successful in
preventing pneumonia. 1t not only
cures your cold quickly, but minimizes
the risk of contracting dangerous dis
eases. For sale by w. w. Albers.

{. D. FEAR TO BUILD
A CONCRETE BLOCK
Will Begin in September the Con-
struction of "a Two Story Business
Block on West Yakima Avenue

T.. ID. Fear proposes to erect a two
story building on his lot at the cor
ner of Fifth avenue and West Yaki-
ma. He has already leased the ground
floor and basement and does not an
ticipate that he will encounter any diff
fculty in procuring tenants for the
second floor. Work will not be under
taken at this time as Mr.. Fear has
interests on the west side of the state
which will keep him busy for a
couple of months. He expects, how
ever to start in on the construction
early in September and will then rush
the building through to completion. 1t
may be that he will put an ornate
brick front in the structure.
d. n. Keene is the only person now
building within the city who is erect
ing a concrete structure. He and
Mr.. Fear will be within two blocks of
each other so that the west side Will
have the only concrete business blocks

struction.

DUNKARDS MAY BUILD
ORPHANS HOME HERE
George r. Wise Is Chairman of Com
mittee Which Will Have Dctcrmi-

George E. Wise, building inspector
of North Yakima, left the city last
night for Spokane, where he will re-
main over Sunday. From there he
will go to Tekoa to attend the district
meeting of the members of the
Dunkard faith in this district, which
embraces oregon, Washington and
Idaho. Mr.. Wise is a delegate to the
meeting and is chairman of the dis
trict board of charities, which is one
of the important boards of the church.
This board proposes at an early date
to construct a home for the orphans
and widows of church members and
for the aged and infirm. The inst1tu-
ton will be one of considerable mag
nitude, and Mr.. Wise believes that,
considering all things, there is no bet
ter place for it than the vicinity OF
North Yakima. SO far no place has
been selected. That stage of the work
has not yet been reached. When it
is Mr. Wise expects to be able to
have the handsome structure to be
erected located somewhere near to
this town.
