mere child's play to Eddie.
He really hit his stride on the re-
cent eastern trip of the Hose, batting
Justify and boosting his average to
well over 300. Along with this came
some surprising fielding stunts, for
he and Buck Weaver are rapidly be-
coming acquainted with each other
and have perfected team play around
the keystone.
In the sudden rush of the Sox to a
safe position at the top of the lad
der, Eddie Cicotte must not be over
looked when the credit is being doled
out. Eddie was waiting for warm
weather. He found it when the team
was in the east and Immediately set
out to make himself winning
pitcher.
Of the twenty games played on the
eastern trip, Eddie worked in five and
he was a winner in every one. His
victories we're not f1ukes by any
means, for he needed little hitting to
back the brand of puzzlement he dis
played. All teams looked the same to
the wee knuckle ball exponent.
After today two more games are
scheduled with the Browns, when the
Sox must again leave home for
short jaunt to two western cities.
Following that they will be home for
an extended stay, defending them
selves against raids from all eastern
clubs. And they should not lose any
ground in the race while doing so. .
Whether Larry Cheney was merely
having a flash of his old form yester-

the National league boasts this sea-
son and do it handily. He would prove
of great assistance to HUMPHREYS,

right-handed pitching. The box score
shows that Larry issued four passes,

Cy Williams was stung on the ell
bow by one of RUDE Benton's heaves

There is no danger, that this injury
will make the long center fielder

closely and is frequently pinked. But
it doesn't have any effect on his
nerves.
With Archer out of the game be-
cause of a handful of bum fingers,
Bresnahan must do all the catching,

and sometimes nausea.
Dyspepsia is difficult digestion
that is what the word means--and
the only way to get rid CT it is to
give vigor and tone to the stomach
and the whole digestive system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, sold by all drug
gists, is the one medicine which acts

and also directly. Its beneficial eff
fects are felt at once. Improvement
begins Immediately.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purifies the
blood, makes the rich red blood that
is needed for perfect digestion, and
builds up the whole system. No other

violaters Of Internal Revenue Laws
Will Find Little leniency at
the Hands Of Judge
Wade.
SUSPENDED SENTENCES
This Practice Will be Abolished and
IT Man Is Found Guilty, He
Must Pay the
Penalty.

Among the statements made by
Judge M. J. Wade at the opening OF
federal court in Ottumwa and at Cres-
ton last week, was the plan for hand
ling criminal cases that are brought
under the head of violations of the
internal revenue laws governing the
sale of liquor where the seller has
not first secured the government
stamp.
Judge Wade stated that in some dis
tricts it has been the custom to con-
tinue cases for judgment after a plea
Of guilty or q conviction has been OBJ
tanned, and of suspending judgment in
such cases. The court said that the
department of justice has taken up
this matter and condemned the prac-
tice, and that he has satisfied hin
self that the court has no authority to
continue or suspend judgment in such
cases. He said that he deemed it
best to announce his policies at this
time in order that all concerned might
govern themselves accordingly. Per-
sons coming before him in such cases
who will make a plea of guilty or be
find that there is nothing for the court
" w puI IIupOS0 Luc JuUSIueuI Wu1>1
will be executed in the ordinary pro-
cess of the court.
This IS of special significance to
those who violate the internal revenue
law in cases commonly known as the
bootlegging kind. Heretofore there has
been more or less leniency shown AMI
often judgment was suspended or the
cases continued for judgment. Here
after the violator will be given the
judgment imposed by the law for such
violations and these range from the
minimum Of 500 fine and thirty days
in jail. to the maximum of two years
in the penitentiary and $4,000 fine.

In Former Times, the Day Was the

is NOW. OUT OF FASHION
Few Of the Old Jokes Have Survived,
Though Person Will Bite
on Stuffed Pocket
Book.

This is April Fools day In the
good old times" all sorts and condi-
tons OF citizens spent much time pre-
pairing for the big day. There were
staid and prominent citizens, who lay
awake o. nights figuring out some
manner in which to "sell" good
friend. OF course, the little folks
played their pranks, and they pinned
papers on passers-by and there was
the fat pocketbook, which moved
away, when the passer-by tried to
pick 1t up. There was the coin, that
was not picked up because it was
nailed to the wooden walk, or was
dropped again, because 1t was very
hot. There was the old plug hat, be-
meath which a brick .reposed The
man who had been there before. re-
sisted the temptation to kick that hat,
and left the pleasure to some unso-
phisticated neighbor. The newspaper
men had been racking their brains
and usually produced a whole crop Of
stories, which fooled almost all the
readers. Old and young entered into
the spirit Of the occasion, and every
body had a good time. even those
who had been the victims of many
FRANKS.
Alas, 1t is different now. We have
become so very staid and sober, that
many men and especially older men
would not dream Of taking part in
anything Of the kind or in permitting
1t, and they would not even laugh
over it. In fact, real laughter Is no
longer considered just the proper
thing. We may be improving in many
respects, but it is sad day for all Of
us, when he forget how to laugh or
get the idea in our heads. that we
must be dignifed and stiff and unnat-
ural at all times. Most true is the
old saying that
A little folly now and then
Is wholesome for the best of men.
The April Fool customs and prac-
tices were perhaps not very wise nor
were they intended to be so. They
were usually harmless, and they bene-
fitted all who were growing into the
habit Of attending too closely to bust
ness. For surely, at times it Is folly
to be wise, and 1t is the height of
wisdom to indulge in little folly.

Closing and Is
Rejected.

At their session at Fort Madison

supervisors opened and read bids of
three firms for the supplying of the
first installment Of the years supply
of boiler pipe culvert. Last year the
county expended about sixteen thou
sand dollars for this material and the
bids Of Tuesday covered supply ap-
proximately one-eighth Of the amount
used last year, proportional among
the various sizes by an estimate of
the county engineer. The Western
Boiler Plate company of Monmouth,
ILL.,, being the lowest bidder, was CIV
en- the contract at an aggregate price
of ,$2,137.20. Other bidders were the
Otumwa Supply & Construction Com.
pany, $2,1S480, and the Clinton Bridge
Works, $2,336.S0. The Murray Iron
Works of Burlington submitted bid
which was not filed until three hours
after the time limit specified in the
advertisements, and was, hence, not
considered.
The accepted bid calls for the II
and 16 inch pipe to be top-welded, re-
mainder riveted. Their price per
foot was twelve inch, S1.05; sixteen
inch, $135; eighteen inch, $1.55;
twenty inch, s1.70; twenty-four inch,
$2.15; thirty inch, $2.55. The supply
used last year was from the Mon
mouth firm.
The session was further marked by
the passing of resolution ordering
in ten new cement and steel bridges
and culverts, to cost in the eighnbor-
hood Of $4,000. The resolution pro-
posing the construction of these i'm
provements was published some time
ago, and in addition, copies of the
resolution mailed to each township
trustee. No objection to the resolu-
ton was received.
The auditor was instructed to ad-
vertise for bids on the new bridge
work, the bids to be opened and read
