MRS. sTAMBAUGH WAS
STAR IN MUSICAL PROGRAM

Abilene friends of Mrs. W. 8
stambaugh, formerly of this city but
now Of Fargo, N. D., will be inter-
usted in her continued success as o
vocalist. A recent issue Of the Fargo
Courier says.
"The Fargo philharmonic club pre-
scented Theodors Dubois beautiful
J.enten cantata, THE Seven Last
'. ords of Christ" at the rreshyter-
ian church last night, with Prof.
r. A, Boehmer Of Fargo conserva-
TOW conducting, and Mr.. sam Lam
he, soG. also of the conservatory. at
the organ. The first difficult SOLO
"All Ye People" was taken by Mrs
w. s. stambaash. we'll known 70
Fargo audiences, and 1t is safe to
say that very few Oratorios contain
anything which draws more heavily
upon the sense Of sorrow. Mrs.
stambaugh's Interpretation left
nothing to be desired, and her rich,
powerful voice did full justice to the
score"
The Western Musical Herald says
Of a recent recital: "The Ladies'
Musical club opened its fifth season,
october 5th, with a recital by Mrs
Winfield Scott stambaugh, Of Fargo
a singer we'll known in Kansas and
North Dakota. The semi-social ma
ture OF the occasion, Presidents
Day, and the limitations of private
paroIs, precluded the numbers OF
Mrs. stambaugh's repertoire, which
give scope to her voice, and dramatic
temperament. Nevertheless, her rem
dition Of the prayer from Aida, and
Heaven Hath Shed a Tear, Kucken'
held the listener spellbound. Be
loved, 1t Is Morn, Aylward, and
'vorrei, Tosti, were no less effective
Mrs. stambaugh's style and presence
are admirable. her Interpretation ar
tistic and her sustained pianissimo ef-
feet remarkable"

Business Mems Association Decides
ON New Departure.

At the meeting Of the Abilene
Business Mems Association last even
ing something in the nature of new
departure for Abilene merchants-a
market and sales day for the bene-
fit of rural patrOns-was approved
by an enthusiastic vote. The date
for trying out the experiment has
been set for Saturday, Feb. rs. II
1t proves as big a success as the busi-
nessmen anticipate, it will be re-
peated regularly every month.
: The plan is to provide some place
where anything farmer wants to
sell, whether pig, cow, horse, load
of cobs, household goods, fancy
chickens or any other property, no
matter how big or how little its
price or value, can be put up at pub
lie auction. An auctioneer will be
furnished at the expense of the mer-
chants and his SERVICES will cost the
seller only one per cent Of the price
paid.
In connection with this. the sales
day features cannot fail to prove
attractive. Each merchant in the
association will offer some special
article at greatly reduced prices.
This will make about fifty genuine
bargains that can be secured in Abb
lene on any market day.

REPRESENTATIVE CASE WAS
CHAMPION OF SUFFRAGE
House Votes "a to % to Submit the
Amendment to Voters.

Topeka, Feb. S.--By vote OF VA
70 2S the house last night agreed
70 submit to the voters an amend
ment to the constitution for woman's
suffrage.
The session was lively About
1000 women thrcnged the galleries
and floors. The motion to submit
the equal suffrage amendment TO the
voters started things.
Chairman Stone was about % pu'
the motion when ~ H. MefcerF OF

Mr.. Mercer has been onposed to

beginning, Notwithstanding the fact
Mrs. Mercer has been won ever Dy
the suffragettes. He moved as a
substitute for the Block motion that
when the committe arose It repcrs
the resolution back with the recon-
rnendation that it be pot passed.
That started things and it proved
that was what Mercer wanted.
ut would be unfortunate TO have

in explanation Of his motion. i

men Of Kansas want the ballot"
Charles Case of Dickinson county,
who is MERGERS seat-mate, broke In
with question.
ssHow do you explain" he asked
Mercer, 'the petition you received
the other day from Chase county
signed by Mrs. ]. H. Mercer and 500
other women?"
Il will answer that" said Mercer,
when the laughter had subsidized, by
stating that neither you nor anyone
eIse need be disturbed over the re-
Iation IN my household because OF
my position on this measure"
Mr. Case then secured the floor
and prepared to make a speech. Mer-
Ger had taken his seat, but he took
one shot at Case before the latter
could get his speech well started.

|. C. |. SCHEDULE
MAY NOT CONFLICT
I'ancgerS Do Not Want to
Buck Tri-StaterS Here This
Season
LETTING ON MONDAY
TO SETTLE MATTER

From present indications It looks
very much as If there will be an in
toresfing time here on Monday even
ing when the managers of the Inter-
City League get in session, for the
purpose Of arranging the schedule for
the season. as well as looking after
the other details of the organization
Of the combination.
As tho matter stands. there are two
schedules which have been arranged.
one By the Wilmington end Of the
delegation. and the other by the Ches-
ter management II will be this fact
which viii cause the trouble at the
meetine. II Is understood that the
Fifth Ward and Seaboard. Of Chester,
are desirous Of playing the games al
home on the holidays, and in this tho
dupont and Wilmington Gas teams are
both practically agreed, although the
teams would prefer to have inter-city
teams play against each other I'm each
of the cities
In Wilmington there will be but one
playing ground available, and for that
reason the managers of the teams
here are desirous Of getting one of
the Chester teams here for the holi-
days II is also understood that the
managers of the Fifth Ward and Sea-
board teams will stand out for their
own proposition and have the two
local teams in each city play against
each other in their home towns.
MAY Not Conflict
The arranging Of the schedule will
be no small matter and II has been
learned that according 20 one OF the
arrangements that has been made, one
of the Wilmington teams will conflict
with the Tri-State schedule no less
than six times during the season,
while the other would conflict on three
occasions. This makes an embarrass-
ing situation owing to the fact that
all the managers of the four clubs in
the Inter-City League are desirous OF
not making any conflict In that man
ner. II is believed II will be possible
to make some satisfactory arrange
ment at the meeting on Monday even
ing and that all will co-ae out In a
most harmonious manner.
Mayor As the Chief.
1t has practically been decided that
Mayor Spruance viii be at the head
~ the league. There had been a sug-
eiion that an outsider be appointed
the position, but all that talk has
i- been set aside and Mayor Spru-
re will be the arbiter. While ne
~ to an extent ,have the last say,
-0m the arrangements which are now
ing perfected, he will not have Il.
The proposition is that in case there
IS any question arises and given him
for o decision. and there is any APP
peal to be made. the managers OF the
two disinterested clubs shall be called
IN aud the president and two man
aeors shall act as a board of arbitra
ton. Before all of the details have
been attended to It is expected there
will be some lengthy discussion.

SAVANNAH, Ga, March 25-The
Athletics are now putting the finish
ing touches on their spring training
here. Manager Mack plans to break
camp early next week and go TO Bal
tlmore 10 play an exhibition game
with the Orioles March 30. Mack has
but a small number of recruits on
hand compared with other clubs.
There will be no change In that stone
wall inheld this season, but there Is
likely to be one or two in the OUT
field. Mack is particularly sweet on
several of the recruits and will prob
ably hold on to them until the season
is we'll under way. Among those who
have shown up we'll during the prac-
tice games are Pitchers Werner and
Barker. Catchers Leary and O'Neill
give promise and so do Infielders
Hogan and Beltzer. Outfielder Hess
Ter may replace Lord or Hartsel N
tho outfield. Mack recently stated
that his team would have a hard fight
on hand this season. but perhaps he
is the only one who takes this view
Of the situation, for on form surely
the worlds champions figure 10 walk
home again this year. But Mack is
a conservative proposition He does
not believe in counting his chickens
before they are hatched, and Incl
dentally It will not hurt any to create
the impression that the race this year
is going to be a close one. But un-
less some OF Mack's men meet with
serious accidents which will incapaci-
tate them for the greater part of the
season Il Is hard to see how any one
one Of the other teams is going 10
beat him home
