the Ensemble and they will stop, re-
turning east, at Detroit, Mich.
AS usual, Webster City is the only
diminutive city commanding the
services of a company so rare and
costly. We don't know that our
community is SO much more intelli-
gent, appreciative and liberal than
the average. 1t is probably more
likely that the experiment of en-
gaging metropolitan artists was
tried and persisted in, and that,
eventually, they will become actual
ly remunerative, as the average pat
ron discovers that good music is
worth the price it necessarily costs.
Subscribers to the course should Sc
lect their seats at Teed's on Monday,
March 16, as it is proposed to open
the general sale of reservations on
the 18th.

SOME BASE BALL
SPECULATION
Manager Kearns Receives Inquiries
From Players-Question of
Salaries Up.

Manager kearns has received sew
eral letters from base ball players
who wish to know what salary their
contracts would embrace in case
they should make good this spring.
Casey Coffin, who played here the
last part of last season and who
goes to Sioux City next week for a
try out, has signified his wish of
returning to this city and is anxious
to know what salary would be Of
fered him. Coffin would be great
addition to the team as his work of
last year demonstrated.
Chas. Bainebridge of Alvin, Ill.,, has
also written Manager Kearns ask
ing that he and a pitcher of that
city be given a workout, and wish
ing to know what terms would be
given them. While the officers of
the base ball association have not
met in session in regard to salaries
for the coming season they will no
doubt place limit on the amount to
be paid. While some fans advocate
a part salaried team, like last year,
the majority wish as strong a team
as the seasons receipts will warrant
and the present financial circum-
stances of the association can stand.
The management are receiving let
ters from all parts of the country,
asking for terms and try-outs and
Manager Kearns will have a large
squad to pick from if he decides to
give all applicants a chance.
