therefore will go into the game with

But these are simply exciting causes.

the inhammatory matter is left in the

have any permanent effect. S. S. S.
cures Catarrh by cleansing the blood
OF all impure catarrhal matter and
irritating germs and at the same time
builds up the system by its fine tonic
effects When S. S. s. has purified
the blood, the mucous surfaces are all
nour1Shed and made healthy. There
can be no Inflammation of the mem

pure, and every tissue receives nour-

AUSTRIAN MASTERS SON KANsAN
Band Leader at Meade Stepson OF
High Army Officer.

Hutchinson, Kan, Sept. 29.-John
Won Prosky, director of the famous
Meade band which bears his name, is
a stepson of an Austrian army officer,
and his own father was at one time a
wealthy man in Austria.
Professor Won ProSky was born in
Budapest, Hungary. His father was
at one time conductor of the Imperial
band, the kaiSer'S court band at Ber-
in serving as such for seventeen
years, and owned an estate of 200, 900
acre sof land in Austria.
The father educated his son, and he
became an accomplished violinist and
musician. After the death of his
father his mother married Lieutenant
Salzburg, an Austrian army officer,
who after obtaining control of the Won
Prosky estate caused young Won
Prosky to leave. He came to the
United States and has been here ever
since.
Several years ago when Prince
Henry of Prussia came to this country
on his official visit, Lieutenant Salz-
burg accompanied him as a member of
his personal escort, as Austrian at
tache and he communicated with his
stepson, then living in Denver, desiring
an audience with him.
Professor Won Prosky, now a nat
uralized American citizen, promptly
rejected the proposal, refused to show
any homage whatever to his distin-
guished Stepfather, and let him know
as plainly as he could without saying
so, that he is entirely able to be an
independent as well as free American
citizen.
He is not only splendid band dfrec-
tor, but is an accomplished viOliniSt,
and was at one time identified with
the Symphony orchestra Of Pittsburg,
Pa, which was financed by Andrew

PLAN FOR WORLDS SERIES.
National Commission viii Adopt Two
Schedules Today.

Cincinnati, Sept. Notwithstanding
the fact that the winner of the Ma
tiOnal League pennant has not been
decided, the National baseball commits
sion will meet here this morning to
arrange a schedule for the worlds ser
les games.
It was announced at the headquarters
of the commission that the first game
would be played on October 13.
Two schedules will be framed. In case
New York WINS the pennant in the
National League, the games will alter
nate between New York and Philadel-
phia day by day. but if Chicago wins
the schedule practically will be the
same as last year.
Chairman Hermann, of the commits
sion, stated that the decision as to
where the first game would take place
would probably be decided by the toss
of a coin.

TROUBLES OF HYATTs ARE OVER
Husband Given Decree of Divorce
from Child Wife.

Paul Hyatt. a barber. was given a
divorce this morning from his child
wife, Fairy Anna Hyatt, whom he said
staid out late at night and wasn't
the sort of wife she should be. The
suit was filed in the courts by Fairy 5
mother, as next friend, but when the
young wife failed to appear when the
case was called for trial, the husband
asked for and received a decree in his
name.
Since the marriage of the barber and
the Topeka girl their troubles have oc-
cupied more or less of the courts time.
On one occasion the husband was ar
rested for noDsupport, but was later
released. Then Hyatt complained that
his wife spent her evenings with other
men and staid out late at night.
In the complaint fileo for divorce. the
young wife declared that her husband
was cruel and abusive, that he slapped
her and didn't give her the encourage
ment that a wife should have Then
Hyatt lost his temper and himself ap-
pesred II court and demanded a di-

DIX ASKS FIGHT LAW REPEAL.
Abuse OF Boxing Privileges Responsi
BILE for Governors Position.

DAG lOE COEGEHOE , 1OSlLAOAs
Albany, N. Y, Sept. Ex-Governor
Dix will send to the legislature today
a special message urging the prompt
repeal of the Frawley law under which
the state athletic commission was Gre
ated to legalize boxing and other ath-
letic exhibitions in this state.
The governor said that he approved
tha Frawley bill because he believed
that a proper regulation of sports un-
der state supervision would tend to
elevate. He now feels convinced that
the law was not operated to accom-
plish that purpose.
Considerable doubt was expressed as
to whether favorable action would be
taken on the governors recommends
tion at this session of the legislature in
view of the determination of the leg
islative leaders to adjourn by tonight
cr Saturday at the latest.
It is believed that the dispute between
the two athletic commissioners over
the legality of the lease of Madison
Square Garden for holding boxing bouts
contributed largely to the governors s
intention to recommend a repeal of the
Frawley law.

the condition which today confronts
Manager Bob Unglaub and the Ante
lopes. Meantime, the evidence seems
to justify at least a portion of the
stories. As player, Bob Unglaub's
peer has not been seen in the Tip
O'NeiH circuit in many seasons. He is
thoroughly wise to the inside tricks of
the games, as played in the major
leagues. and it has been apparent to
every intelligent patron of baseball in
Lincoln that he has tried hard to make

Former League President Refuses to
Give Up League Funds.

Kansas City, Sept. ga suit grow
ing out of affairs of the Western As
sociation of Professional Baseball
Clubs in 1909 was brought in the cir
cult court here, when D. M. Shaw
brought an action against d. M. Shive-
ly, former president of the league, and
the United States Fidelity and Guar
anty company for S1.O6S.17. Shaw is
president of the association, which did
not play a schedule this year, but in
tends to resume next year, according
to his attorney.
In 1909, the petition alleges. Shively
was president and treasurer of the as
sociation and came into possession of
the amount named, being $1S3.52 from
each of the following clubs: Webb
City, Joplin, Bartlesville, Muskogee,
Sapulpa. Guthrie. Ell Reno and Enid
1t is alleged that he has refused to
turn over this money or account for it
to his successor.
S Shively was superseded during the
1909 season. He claims the amount
due as salary, claiming that he held
for the entire season and could not be
deprived of his place.

POLE FIGHT IS IMMINENT.
HI. b. Howard Ordered to Remove
Those on East Eighth.

A resolution prepared by Commissioner
Stotts was passed by the board of city
commissioners this morning ordering H.
B. Howard to remove all of the electric
wire poles on both sides of East Eighth
avenue These poles were erected by
Howard at night time against the pro-
test of the property owners The wires
run from the Santa Fe tracks to the city
limits and on to the Industrial institute.
It is claimed by the city that H. B.
Howard has no right to put in a pole line
of this kind. It is rumored also that
Howard received his permit from the Bell
Telephone company after they had pro-
cured the right from the city. This has
been denied by the Bell company
At any rate the matter viii end in
pole war on East Eighth avenue. 1t will
be a fight between the property owners

ietic commission has revoked the char
ter of the Madison Square Garden
Athletic club, which has been holding
prise fights at Madison Square Gar

the charter was that the clubs lease of

Tinker's Hit Wins.

Chicago. Sept. 29-Chicago made it
two straight from New York, winning
the second game OF the series.
AS a result of the second victory

been cut down to 51S games or 43 points.
Joe Tinker, hero Of many battles, de-
hvered the hit which gave Chicago
the victory. After two men were out

and both scored on Tinker's double to
left field. Matthewson opposed "Kfng''
Cole in d pitchers battle. The former
was hit safely seven times while Cole
allowed five hits only two of which
The support, however, behind Mat
thewson was ragged, while that behind
the Chicago pitcher was perfect, even
sensa tional.
The New York team was first to
score, L. Doyle got a double to right
and scored on Merkle's single.
In Chicago's half of the first Mat
thewson appeared nervous after
until the in-fared third inning. in which
Chicago punched the three hits which
won the game. A light rain began
falling in the first half of the inning
and continued throughout the game,
