M. J. CLkEBY TO
 LEAD CITY LEAGUE

Michael J. Clabby, assistant super intendent of the Union Typewriter Co. and president of the Yost Baseball as- sociation since it's organization five years ago, was last evening elected to the presidency of the City Baseball league which this year enters into its third season. President Clabby fills the vacancy caused by the resignation of A. E. Veness. The directors of the league considered that the interest of the organization would be best con- ducted by a Yost official because of the many courtesies extended to the league in the past by that company. Through the kindness of the Yost company the league enjoys the use of one of the best baseball diamonds in the state, shower baths for the play CTS and up to the minute dressing rooms
 The application of the Brooksides which has been on file was accepted They now hold the franchise caused by the dropping out of the Eagles. The new member will place the Mead ows in good condition and will erect a grand stand. The Brooksides have always had a crack team and will greatly benefit the league. Applica- tions were received from the Fair mount A. c. and the West Side A. c. both of which were placed on file. Each is a strong organization. The next meeting of the league will be held April 8 when a schedule com mittee will be appointed and two um- p1reS and two scorers chosen. The league is now composed of the Yosts, Blacks Rocks, and Brooksides. We'll wishers of the league look forward to its most prosperous season.

NDS WAY
TO CURE COLDS
DON'T NEGLECT A COLD, ELY's
CREAM BALM WILL STOP IT
IN THE sNEEZING STAGE.

A cold generally attacks the weakest
part, affecting the eyes and ears IN
some and producing nasal catarrh u
throat troubles in others. A cold IS
due to an inflammation of the mem

Cream Balm, which Immediately re-
lieves the Inflammation and all the
distressing symptoms, such as sneez-
ing, coughing, running at the nose ana
eyes, h~oarseness. sore throat, fever and
headache. One reason why this pure
antiseptic Balm acts so quickly Is be
cause it is applied directly to the
tender, sore surfaces.
Even in severe. chronic cases q
catarrh, Ely's Balm Cream never fails
to quickly and effectually check the
poisonous discharge which clogs the
head and throat, causing the disgust

the nose. This remedy not only drives
out the disease, but heal ana
strengthens the weakened membranes,
thus ending catarrh.
Catarrh is a filthy, disgusting dis
case. Don't put UP with it another
day. Get a so cent bottle Of Eiy's
Cream Balm from your druggist and
see how quickly you will be relieved.

ing birds, the merry prattIe OF chill
dren--a grand moving picture OF a
busy, pushing, progressive, prosperous
life.
All this great change has been
brought about by the settlement and
cultivation Of a country that but a
few years ago was pronounced by the
wise men OF the east "a worthless
country, one which would not be set
tied in a century, and one which eve
could produce enough to support a
railroad How little mere man can
prophecy as to the future.
To readers of this history in years
to come, facts in figures may be more
satisfactory than general description,
and I extract from Commissioner Gill
breath's last report a few statistics
that show plainly the changes since
the early days in 1870 Of which / have
written.
Then our population could be count
ed in hundreds; today, close to 500, 900
then but a few dollars of taxable
property; today the total valuation of
all our property is over $1,303. 900, O00-
then no farms; now $4,000 with nearly
1880 900 acres under cultivation
then no crops and nothing to export;
in 1907 a wheat crop Of S6,247, 800
bushels, a fax crop of 7,645, 900 bush
els, a corn crop of 1,s56,100 bushels, a
grand total of all crops that aggre-
gated over 110,2O5, 900 bushels-then 10
live stock; today fully 1,400,0 head
our found on our anges in the pas
ture fields and barns-tlen no rail-

and additional hundreds are being
built. Then not a telephone thought
Of; now over 26,400 miles OF rural
and long distance telephone lines in
operation. Our dairy and creamery
industry, yet in it's infancy, is valued
at $4,000, 900.
1t is not necessary TO quote more;
the facts given show the wonderful
progress of our state during the few
short years of it's existence to the
present time. Who is wise enough Il

THE WORSHIP OF BOOKS.

The time is passing when men wor-
SHIPPED books simply as books. Who
that has attained middle age does not
remember the gentle, kindly old
gentleman or lady who went into

ance of library shelves, who constant
ly pursued the unusual in snuffy, dus-
ty, secondhand book stores.
Rare volumes still are priced but
they are priced just like any other
antiques, simply because they are old
and rare. Their rarity determines
their value. 1t is not as it was in old
days, when it did not matter how
many copies existed, provided each
was a masterpiece of its kind.
The average man today, if he has
library at all, would just about as
soon have all the books in one general
