Tax Ferret Bill to Pass.

o~S~~SA 4 III e
Tax Ferret Bill to Pass.
The tax ferret bill is set for tomor-
row morning as special order, and
the senate will probably pass it, thus
doing away with system that is con-
sldered vicious by many Iowans. There
IS a possibility, but not strong one,
that the ferret bill may live after that
time. for the ferrets themselves have
made hard fight, but so have their
opponents, and it is considered practi-
cally certain that the present law will
be repealed
AS far as business is concerned, the
repeating of this statute will be a step
IN advance for most Iowa communities,
though there are some that will be af-
fected rather adversely because they
have barred tax ferrets and have thus
pronted by bank deposits and other in.
vestments coming from neighboring
counties. 1t is reported here that Day-
export banks hold many thousands. OF
dollars owned by Muscatine county de-
positors. These deposits will doubtless
be returned to Muscatine county if the
tax ferret law is repealed. But In gen.
eral sense. the passage Of the bill to-
morrow will have good effect in the
state at large.
The liquor forces are happy now,
for they figure that if the legislature
delays action from week to week until
the time comes to adjourn. there will
be little anti-saloon legislation. Those
who feared law against Sunday thea
ters, baseball games and other amuse-
ments are beginning to breathe more
easily, too. But the friends OF good
roads legislation, who have been count
ing on seeing the present laws rear
ranged and shortened into statute
mat can be understood, are worried.
so are the friends of tax legislation.

Hands and Arms
In Dreadful State
With Eczema Baby Lay
Between Life and Death
! Another Wonderful Cure by Hoods
| SarsapariIIa.

when my baby was four months
old his face broke out with eczema.
The doctor said he would soon be all
right, but he steadily grew worse and
at sixteen months OF age, his face,
hands and arms were in a dreadful
state. The eczema seemed to be
spreading all over his body. His face
was so sore we were Obliged to put q
mask or cloth over it. We were
obliged also to tie up his hands and
arms to prevent him from scratching
the inflamed places. We consulted 9th.
err doctors, used ointments and salves
sent us by friends and neighbors.
Some of these things would seem to
have some effect, but after few days
would act like a poison and increase
this stubborn disease
"Just on year ago this month, baby
lay between life and death. We felt
that we must give up trying to find any
cure or relief Our hearts. were just
breaking, and we had the sympathy OF
friends and neighbors. Finally my hus-
band said, I am going to try Hoods
Sarsaparilla and Hoods Olive Oint-
ment.' We began to use these medi-
cines and oh! the results were aston
ishing! In few months he was en-
tirely free from that terrible eczema
which had caused him so much suffer-
ing. Today he is a fine healthy boy"

and the bounding ball shot by Stovall at
express speed. Out in right Joe Jackson
got tangled up with the fence supports
and by the time he had connected with
the pill Elberfeld had scored and the
Akhoond was hiking it for third.
Spiked at Third.
Quickly swinging his mighty right arm
Jackson hurled the ball at Ivan Olson,
whose relay to "Cottontop'' Turner
spiked the Akhoond as he slid in the
dirt near the cushion. But the Akhoohd
had had his revenge. He had done it!
Only once did the Alabama infant
look in need of help. 1t happened in the
second when Joe Birmingham cracked a
safety to left center and took one more
sack on Walkers toss to the press
stand. Walker wavered, passing Tur-
ner. but grabbed Balls slap, and got
Birmingham at third neatly, though Ell
berfeld did have a chance to pose as
the Statue of Liberty to get the ball.

Walker had proved that it Is but a step
from a ham to a hero.
No Longer In Distress.
Never again in all the fray was the
Alabama Beauty in distress. "Gabby"
Street held him up. coaxed him, soothed
him, kept him going like a two-year-
old. Blanding singled in the fifth, but
only reached second on an out. Joe
Birmingham singled in the sixth to
stick, and Fisher singled in the sew
there wasn't a thing to it, but those
Nationals and - the Akhoond of
Swat. Don't forget the Akoond, he Is a
terror.
The work of the Nationals was with
cut a blemish. George McBride's per-
formances in the short field were beau
tiful to behold. Kid Elberfeld was in
the game every minute, admonishing
Walker and encouraging him at every
step. Schaefsr's fielding at first was as
good as any seen on the field this sea-
son, proving that the weinerwurst first
sacker is no false alarm at the position.
Given pitching of class from pitchers
with something beside mere chocolate
sundaes in their backbone, the Nationals
should win a few games, for their hit
ting is good enough. It's that chocolate
backbone stuff that has caused most of
the trouble thus far.

TRIP TO SUBURBAN
RESORT PROGRAM
One Hundred Machines Required
to Convey the Little
Ones.
By HARRY WARD.

The orphans of this city will have
their annual treat next Thursday when
the Automobile Club of Washington
will take them for an automobile ride
to some suburban resort. The date
was selected today when President ".
s. Duvall, Capt. Ted Johnston, End
Secretary Elliott Hough got together
and arranged the details.
It is proboble that Glen Echo will be
selected as the objective point Of the
ride, but this has not been definitely
determined. The plan is to have all
the cars assembled at the Peace Mon
ument about 100 o'clock, and after a
parade up Pennsylvania avenue, Chief
Marshal Ted" Johnston will lead the
caravan through Georgetown and then
out the Conduit road. Captain John
ston has received assurances from many
of the automobile dealers that they will
donate cars and 1t is believed enough
machines will be offered to give every
orphan in this city ride.
Orphans Automobile Day" is cele-
brated annually by motorists all over
the country and has grown to such pro-
portions that there Is hardly an orphan
child in any institution that is not taken
for a ride. In this city it will require
handle the little parentless waits, and
a general invitation has been extended
to the automobile owners to donate the
use of their cars for this worthy OBJ
ject. Any motorist who wishes to give
the use of his car should communicate
with 4. S. Johnston. captain of the au-
tomobile club.
c. Royace Hough, who has been ident1f-
ed with the automobile trade Of this city
for the past twelve years, has resigned
his position with the Commercial Auto
mobile Supply Company, and Sunday
will leave for Chicago to accept the po-
sition as western manager Of Wyckofr.

For the convenience of the fans 1t is
up to the Washington ball club to mark
the left field pavilion in some sort Of
way so the patrons OF National Park
will know the territory, which counts
for a single, a double, or triple.
Day after day balls are hit into the
stand aside the left fielder. and no one
except the umpires and players seems
TO know Just what is to counts as an
ordinary hit or a wallop for extra bass.
BY putting up posts behind the stands
or marking a line along the pavilion.
it would be possible for the fans to
know just what is happening instead Of
waiting for the umpire's decision.
Get some sort of a mark for general
satisfaction.

MOUNTED OFFICER
BREAKS HIS ANklE
Frightened Horse Throws Of
hcer Krug-Injury Said to
Be Not Serious.

While on his way early yesterday
morning TO answer a call to Mulberry
and Cary Streets. where the tents OF
the Barnum & Bailey Circus were
about to be erected, Policeman w. L.
Krug was thrown from his horse and
an nkle was broken,
Krug had been ordered to report at
the circus grounds at the time 1t was
supposed that the circus would be
present. He had just answered n call.
and found that 1t was necessary to
hurry in order to answer at the circus
grounds on time. AT Lombardy and
Broad Streets his horse, frightened at
something in the street, swerved sud-
denly. and krug fell heavily to the
ground. AT 4 o'clock a call came into
the Secon Station, and the patrol au-
tomobile was sent out to assist the
officer. He was brought In and taken
to his home. and Surgeon c. w. P.
Brock was notified. The horse was
brought in later and placed in the
station stables. Krug's injury is said
to be not serious.
