WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW.
Topeka at Pueblo.
Wichita at Denver.
Lincoln at Sioux City.
DeS MoineS at Omaha,

topeka at Fu6DlO.
Wichita at Denver.
Lincoln at Sioux City.
Des Moines at Omaha.
The locals open up in Pueblo today
where a double header is being play
ed. Tomorrow one game will be play
ed, and then the two teams will re-
turn together to Topeka for four
games in three days, a double header
being played here Sunday.
And now just to get even the Sioux
City papers are hoping that Wichita
beats Topeka out for the first division.
Foutz, who is playing right field for
the Pueb1a Indians, is a former Ohio
State league player, who was signed
upon the recommendation of the
Locke brothers. Williams, who is
catching for the Indians comes from
the same circuit.
That Denver team has slumped
something awful the last few weeks.
This same bunch early in the season
actually fought their way into the
first division. Now the team man
ages to win about once a week. Bad
management can do an awful lot to-
wards starting team on the down
ward toboggan.
Sioux City Journal: Denver has
catchers it has used. Twelve men
have played in that capacity for the
Grizzlies, some of whose names don't
even sound familiar. They are the
following: Zalusky. Zinram, Sween-
ey, Thompson, Hallman, McCausland,
Clarine, Haley, Jehl, Haas, McKenna,
Neece.
Rhody Hendrix, who has been
pitching for the Burlington team in
the Central association for some time,
is in Topeka, and is feeling real
chesty. Rhody has a good reason to
feel thusly. He joined the Burlington
club in July finding his new team
mates in fourth place. Rhody's pitch
ing helped them all the way along
and when the season closed Saturday,
Rhody and his Burlington team was
on top. Rhody will put in few days
visiting in Topeka, and will then be-
take himself to southwestern Texas,
where the cold weather never comes.

MRS. C. G.. BENNETT,

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasns, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the REM
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

WEARING COTTON CLOTHES.
Vice-President Sherman Summer Suit an
Example

That an earnest effort to persuade the men OF the
South to wear clothes made of cotton goods would
be long step toward lifting the price OF cotton bv
making a new demand for II, is n belief held in
many places in the South THE Montgomery (AIa)
Advertiser declares that the Southern organizations
which meet and resolve to a higher price for
cotton could adopt more practical course for tho
increase OF the price OF cotton by popularizing tho
wearing OF clothes made OF cotton and manufact-
ured in Southern states.
Many papers. throughout the country commented
upon the cool and attractive suit OF cotton goods
worn by Fice-PreSdent James s. Sherman. ANY
body that knows anything about clothing knows
that the coolest and most delightful summer cloth
Ing Is made of cotton. We have had in the South
various organizations which have endeavored bv
action one way or another, to get better price
for cotton. The quickest way secure a better
staple price Is to increase the demand. No more
effective means to enlarge the demand for cotton
could be found than to induce Southern men TO
wear clothes weaved of cotton.
Vice-President Shermans summer suit of cotton
is only a type of others sometimes in tho
South but as a rule our people prefer to buy the
not WOollenS manufactured in New England
all the conventions called to improve the price OF
cotton there were probably not half dozen mem
bers who wore cotton clothes But enough suits
OF cotton weaved clothes have been made and worn
in the South for il to be known that they can he
made quite as attractive and much cooler than
the nigh priced woollen goods from the North.
The mills of the South would be glad TO supply
a demand They can weave the goods: all thew
need is purchasers for them after they are made
When half the mer in the South dress in cotton
weaVed clothes from Southern mills more will have
been accomplished for the raising of the r,rica
of cotton than has been done In all the conven-
tions by all the organizations which have strug-
gled with the question.

ANCIENT PAPER MONEY.

Paper money-properly guaranteed-is gen.
orally recognized throughout the world the most
satisfactory and convenient form of currency. 1t
Is not, however. is very generally supposed, a
comparatively modern idea.
The celebrated traveller, Marco Polo of Venice,
was the first person to announce in Europe the
existence OF paper money, IN China, under the
Noguls. 1t subsequently introduced by the
Moguls into Persia. where their notes were called
djaou djaw, word evidently derived from the
Chinese word schaio, signfying "a want of specie"
The fact Of the Moguls having, in-China and
Persia. made use of paper money, has induced the
telief that they the orignators OF ii. But in
the history of the Tchnghiz-khan, and Of the
NoguI dynasty in China, published in the year l739
the author speaks OF the suppression Of the paper
money which was under the dynasty of
the Soung, who reigned in China previous TO the
Noguis; and he also mentions species Of
notes which were substituted for the old in the
year i2A.
The original financial speculation of the Chinese
ministry 70 provide for the extraordinary ex-
penditures OF the state, which were exceeding the
revenues was in the year ll3 B. {. AT this period
were introduced the phi-pi value in skins. These
we're small pieces OF the skin OF deer, which were
Kept in q pen, within the palace walls. They were
