yourself the question first. and

1t is not lack of brains, because
our people are blessed with an
abundance. 1t may be, however.
that we lack the initiative that is
necessary to keep pace with the
more thriving and prosperous
communities of the country. If
so, we should at once correct our
fault and move forward. We
should grasp every opportunity
for improvement and expansion
that presents itself, and where
there are none in sight we should

BOXING SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BASEBALL

If j. C. Dunn, new president and
chief stockholder in the Cleveland In
dams, is a credulous cuss, he is liable
to get a great surprise in the next few
months. One of the conditions on
which he is said to have purchased
the team is that other owners in the
American league will kick in with a
few athletes to help strengthen the
club and make it factor in the pen
nant race.
All of which sounds excellent on
paper, but whether the magnates will
be as generous in action remains to
be seen. Dunn might learn something
from President Rupert of the Yanks,
who purchased the New York team
81 with a somewhat similar understand
ing. What happened to Rupert is
well known.
He did his best to get some men
worth while, but he had to pay high
prices for men who we're rated low
The only real outstanding star he has
secured was Frank Baker, and that
was not the result of any generosity
on the part of Connie Mack.
Mr.. Dunn is president OF the club,
all right, and has absolute control of
course, but see what Ban Johnson
says. Ban says that Lee Foil will re-
main as manager of the Indians, hav-
ing made a good record, and being
popular with the fans.
That doesn't exactly jibe with the
statement of Dunn, who says the
status Of Foil hasn't been decided, |
and that a new manager may be Sc
Iected. Eight to five that what Ban
says goes.

season. This year will be no excep-
ton. Russell is going south early to
work off some extra weight and be in
shape to carry his share of the bur-
den early in the campaign.
The sale of Russell BIackburne to
Toronto of the International league
means something, undoubtedly. 1t
presages shift of Buck Weaver to
third base. At Mineral Wells, Buck
will be given every chance to famil-
iarize himself with the third corner,
and Terry and McMullin, the recruits
from the Pacific coast, will get their
chances at short.
Weaver has always played short,
but he has qualifications which make
him good third-base prospect. His
arm is unusually strong, he excels at
the snap underhand throw, absolute
ly necessary to third basemen-lack
of it was one of the things against
Blackburne-and Buck can travel to
his right with celebrity for balls hit
over third base.
The only thing that will prevent a
sight of Buck at third this season is
the failure of one of the youngsters
to make good at short. In that event
Weaver will keep his old job and Geo.
Moriarity will start the season on
third
Any way it works out, it should
mean improved defensive work on the
left side of the diamond for the Sox
this season.
Sentiment turks even in the soul of
a butcher ballplayer. Witness the
case of Charley Schmidt, retired first
baseman of the erstwhile world
champion Boston Nationals. ..--.--,

LLOYD'S QUOTATIONS
ON WARS END FIRM

London, Aug. IL. Despite promi-
hence given in belligerent as well as
neutral countries to after war n
ic problems and rapid growth of plans
by commercial and bank institutions
preparing to meet such problems,
Lloyd's brokers are not reducing quo
tations on the war ending in the near
future. Ninety per cent was quoted
on the possibility OF its ending by
Dec. 81, which was held to be a pro-
hibitive rate. May and June next year
were quoted at As per cent.
Information reaching American bust
ness concerns here from representa-
tives In Holland, Scandinavia and 9th
er neutral countries indicate a grow
ing belief that marked consideration
OF economic matters foreshadows the
approaching end of the war, although
a majority of representations as to
the actual date still lean toward next
spring, while termination by this No
vember Is not rarely spoken.
One prominent member of the Amer
lean business element here said:
American houses are advising rep
r~esentatives abroad that. tariff or no
tariff, they expect to hold their en-
trenchments in Europe and to
strengthen connections as much as
possible"

NOW FOURTEEN DAYS AT SEA
Submarine Deutschland Not Heard
From Since Leaving Baltimore.

Berlin. Aug. 1.-THE submarine
Deutschland has not been heard from
since she cleared the Virginia capes
the night of Aug. 2.
Sixteen days were required for the
Deutschland to cross the Atlantic on
her trip to Baltimore. Part of that
time she spent in lodging warships.
Actually she could have made the
voyage In much shorter time. The
fact that fourteen days have elapsed
and she has not been heard from indi-
Gates she has been compelled to take
a roundabout course on the return
also, II she has not met with a mis-
hap.
The Deutschland is equipped with a
high powered wireless apparatus, but
probably would not communicate with
a German station while in British wa
tiers.

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Aug. 17.-Around
1000 cattle were posted TO arrive at
Sioux City for today's market, as
against 1,1S4 a week ago and LAC
the corresponding day a year ago.
Trade conditions favored the sell
ers. Reports from outside centers
showed moderate supplies and
stronger trend. Locally the deal on
all useful grades Of killers ruled
active and generally strong to 10c
higher than yesterday, or the mar
ket recovered the slight setback of
Monday and is now quoted as strong
with the close of last week.
Dealers enjoyed quite a brisk
country demand on yesterday for
stock cattle and were all out in the
yards at an early hour this morning
wanting the moderate fresh supply.
Prices on anything attractive was
quoted as strong and there were in
stances where an advance of a dime
occurred.
Hog prices developed further
strength today under the influence
of broad demand from packers and
shippers and bullish advices from
outside points. Gain was put at 10
Q20c. Top for the day was 5000,
while the bulk of sales cleared at a
spread of $3.50 @10.15.
Live mutton receipts continue OF
very moderate volume and the few
loads here this morning found a
ready disposal at strong to 10c high
err rates than on yesterday. in line
with advances reported at other cen
tiers.

SNAKE HAS INDIGESTION.
Natural That II Should Have, After
Swallowing China Eggs.

Middletown, Conn.-When Mrs. Ell
mer Marvin of North Lyme went to
the henhouse recently she saw a black
snake coiled In a hens nest. She didn't
scream. but reached for the hoe and
went TO it," Noticing some protuber-
ances on the reptile, she applied the
implement vigorously and. to her sur
prise. hoed out two china eggs which 1t
had swallowed with half a dozen hens
eggs. The snake seemed stupid and to
be suffering from a touch of indiges
ton.
