Milwaukee, Wis., March 27. Manager
Hush Duffy of the Milwaukee club, in
Fpeoksng of the condition of affairs, to
day said: "I am perfectly satisfied with
the team already selected to represent
Milwaukee, but I expect to have one
more pood pitcher In order to compare;
with the balance of the team. All the
managers fig-tire out that Milwaukee has
some of the best pitchers in the league,
but as two or three of them axe strang
ers to me I am a tittle at sea. I do
know, however, that the infield will be
as fast as any in the league. Oilbert
at second base will shine as brilliantly
as any man ever seen in that position In
the west.
"I have watched Gilbert play in the
east, and know that there are few his
equal, and-the) fart that he is so fast in
getting to base will make him as strong
at the bat as many men who bat a preat
dead higher than he does. The people of
Milwaukee are well acquainted with
Conroy, Burke and Anderson, and I am
sure they will agree with me that these
three men are strong enough for any
team in the league. In the cutfielj I
l:ave Waldron and Hallman, who, from
all retorts last year, are fast and good
fritters. In the catching department I
t-.ave three men whom it will be hard to
duplicate in the west Maloney. Connor
and L-eaJiy. I have been offered good
catchers by other magnates for Ieahy
and Connor, but knowing the men pei
feotly I had to turn the offers down.
"Connor and Leaby are strong- bat
ters. jrood throwers and fast on the
bases, and if they do not make goavl in
Milwaukee I will be a very disappointed

WHITNEY'S X.A BEILE FARM.
Hamburg in Splendid Condition and
Active as a 2-Year-Old.
Lexintrton, Ky March 27. All is
bustie .and activity at W. C. Whitney's
La Belle stock farm, seven miles from
here on the Frankfort pike, especially
around the stud barn, where the trio of
Whitney stallions are now housed. With
Hamburg, imported Meddler and Lissak,
the New York millionaire has three stal
lions that would be the envy of any
breeding establishment in the country.
Great interest naturally centers around
Hamburg as a new comer at the farm
and he receives the major part of atten
tion, just at this time, and it is a toss-up
with Meddler as to which can be con
sidered the premier sitallion at the farm.
In addition to the three stallions Mr.
Whitney has about ,75 brood mares on
the farm, which is given over entirely to
his stock.
Hamburg is in splendid condition, and
is as active as a 2-year-old. His step
is springy and he exhibits as he walks
the strength of hock and hindquarters
which bore him to so many victories.
He is long and rangr, and beautifully
proportioned, not yet showing the heavi
ness of neck and shoulder characteristic
of the horse which has done stud duty.
He is bred to some of the choicest mares
on the place.
Hallyhoo, with a chestnut filly fnal by
Kingston at her side, full sister to the
Futurity winner Ballyhoo Fey, has been
bred to Hamburg. Imported Isis by
Bend Or, out of Shotover. for which Mr.
Whitney paid IS.FOO, has also been bred
to the son of Hanover-Lady Reel. Her
self a Derby winner, she is by a. Derby
winner and out of a Derby winner.
Shotover being by Hermit is also by a
winner of the Irerby. Such mating
should produce a foal of the very highest
cla-ss. and it would be interesting to
know what a yearling by a $60,000 horse
out of a $3,500 mare would bring in the
sates ring. i '
WILLIE MARTIN MAY RIDE.
Reinstated Jockey to Pilot GarryHer-
mann in tha Kentucky Derby.

THE PllOIimiTOIiY LAW
Ex-Senator Pefier Writes
of It in
April Forum.
In the Forum for April ex-Senator W.
A. Peft'er, of Topeka, writes on "Prohibi
tion in Kansas." He says:
"Our prohibitory legislation has all
been through the courts; and the result,
in a few words, is that in Kansas any
thing and everything in the nature of a
drinking saloon, tippling shop, dram
shop, or joint is unlawful from any and
every point of view. Intoxicating liquors
may be lawfully sold in Kansas for
medical, mechanical, and scientific pur
poses only, and nobody other than a
legally permitted druggist may sell for
these purposes. Hence the person wnom
we designate a joint-keeper deliberately
and defiantly puts himself outside the
law every time he sells a glass of whisky
or a mug of leer to any person for any
purpose. Furthermore, the place in
which he carries on the unlawful traffic
waa long ago declared to be a public
nuisance.
"This kind of legislation differs from
criminal laws generally in one import
ant particular. If a horse be stolen, a
house burglarized, or a man beaten or
robbed, the offence is primarily one
against property or person, and hence
it is presumed that the personal interest
of the individual most immediately con
cerned is sufficient to move him to give
information of the offence to the author
ities; but in the case of unlawful liquor
selling, the offence is neither against
pei'son nor property. The person who
buys the liquor wants it for his own use.
He asks for it, pays for it. and drinks it,
or carries it- away for future use. The
offence is not against the person or his
property, but against the whole people
in their organized capacity as a state.
It is not against one, but against all,
taken as one, that the seller has sinned.
No one person is more interested in the
transaction than another, for all are
equally concerned as citizens or resi
dents of the state.
"It is not such an offence as would
ordinarily and naturally move the aver
age citizen to notify the law officers,
even if he were present at its commis
sion and knew all about it. The offence
being against the public, obviously pub
lic officers ought to look after the case.
And If the county attorney fails or re
fuses to proceed, or if, for any other rea
son, this law is not enforced in any coun
ty, the attorney "general of the state is
required to appoint one or more assist
ant attorney generals as many as he
sees fit for that county for the purpose
of enforcing this particular law. It will
thus be seen that our laws and legal
machinery are amply sufficient for the
complete execution of the prohibitory
law in every part of the state; and it is
a fact that whenever and wherever the
officers that are charged with its execu
tion have faithfully done their duty as
the law provides, there has been no more
difficulty in enforcing this law than
there has been in enforcing the ' law
against any other offence.
"In a carefully prepared report by an
experienced and thoroughly competent
agent of the State Temperance Union,
submitted a little more than a year ago,
it was stated that 129 towns had bpen
visited and canvassed, and that of these
129 places, 27 openly protected liquor
shops on condition of their paying cer
tain stipulated sums of money at stated
intervals; 34 allowed joints to run
through 'apparent collusion on the part
of public officials;' and 40, or less than
one-third of the whole, appeared to have
no such places running. More than two
tWrda of the towns ignore the violation
of the law; nearly half of these openly
exacting and receiving revenue from the
unlawful traffic." .

Toteman died here as the result of a

SOME VALUABLE FINDS

Tinted Beautifully and About
the Size of a Pea.
Ottawa, March 27. There is considers
ble excitement In this vicinity over the
finding of several really valuable pearls
in the mussel shells along the streams
that flow into the Marias des Cygnes.
Many people have developed the pearl
hunting fever. The favorite groun
seems to be creek 110.
People along its banks have tha pearl
fever in epidemic form. Claims hav
been staked out in many instances, and
much profit 'is expected. In instances
Very valuable pearl3 have been lound; a
young man exhibited one in the city
yesterday, which he claims came from
the mud not a stone's throw from the
Nolan-Cunningham camp of last year,
that had been valued to him at $100.
It was tinted a beautiful soft blue and
gray, with a bronze light showing on the
surface, and waa about the size cf a
pea.
The most common form of the 110
pearls are the pear shaped, the seed and
the "baroque;" from all of them come
gleams of exquisite color radiate.
Knthusiasts declare that there is more
money in pearl hunting than in raising
grain or stock and far less risk. There
has been an endeavor to keep the "find'
a secret, for obvious reasons, and pro
found ignorance is expressed by some of
those best informed as to the facts. It
is even rumored that the real reason for
so many seemingly unsuccessful "fish
ing" excursions by Ottawa sportsmen
during the last two seasons was not un
connected with the new industry.

very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it

FAVORS IMC01E TAX.
Espert Report Issued by
Industrial Commission.
the
Washington, Marrh 27. The industrial
commission has made public a report upon
the taxation of corporations prepared, by
its expert ag:ent, Mr. George Clapperton.
The report makes a volume of 178 paos.
The jneat part of it is devoted to a sum
mary of the tax systems of the states of
Massachusetts. Connecticut. New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois. Wisconsin, Iowa and
Texas.
Mr. Clapperton says that he found the
general property tax system prevailing in
all the. states, but that there are distinct
ive features' in the various states, which
are especially marked in the taxation of
corporate property. He does not indorse
the system of levying a fixed rate upon
net earning:?, which is in vogue in rela
ware amf Virginia, finding that, while th
system is theoretically satisfactory, it
"does not meet the varied business devel
opments of corporations."
He also finds the general property tax
unsatisfactory. On tliiw point he says:
"It is clear that under this system there
are numerous forms of wealth that do
not and cannot be made to bear a just
share of the public burdens and which in
large part evade or escape taxation, and
some forms, which, when reached, at all
under the prevailing" general property tax,
are not equally and uniformly, but un
justly and disproportionately taxed as
compared with other property. The in
evitable result Is that real estate and
some forms of personalty are unduly bur
dened with taxation."
t'pon the whole. Mr. Clapperton con
cludes that an income tax in the most
equitable, saying:
"There is a growing class of citizens
who receive large incomes, or salaries and
enjoy all the advantages of society and
good government, who, though possessed
of abundant ability to pay taxes, are un
der existing: svstem oracticallv exempt
from taxation or inadequately taxed. This
, class is receiving and must continue to
receive especial attention in the revision
or reformation of taxing systems in the
several states. "While a tax upon individual-
incomes is generally conceded to
be just and equitable in principle, it haa
been received with disfavor and regarded
as impractical in its operation. It is
apparent, however, to the careful stu
dent of commonwealth taxation that be
rause of its justice and the increa-sing ef
ficiency of state administrative methods
that are being evolved, the idea of a lim
ited supplementary state income tax is
growing in favor and coming to be more
generally regarded as a practical measure
under state supervision.
Never Likes a Plat-Iron.
A woman who suffered for three years
from nervous prostration says two bottles
of Lichty's Celery Nerve Compound ef
fected a complete cure. She hardly knows
today whether she has nerves or not, as
she never feels them. It is certainly a
wonderful remedy. Sold by Geo. W.

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.
It is easy to keep well if -we would
only observe each day a few simple rules
of bealth.
The all important thing is to keep the
stomach right, and to do this it is not
necessary to diet or to follow a Bet rule
or bill of fare. Such pampering eimply
makes a capricious appetite and a feel
ing that certain favorite articles of food
must be avoided.
Prof. Wiechold gives pretty good ad
vice on this subject; he says: "I am 68
years old and have never had a serious
Illness, and at the same time my life has
been largely an indoor one, but I early
discovered that the way to keep healthy
was to keep a healthy stomach, not by
eating bran crackers or dieting of any
sort; on the contrary, I always eat what
my appetite craves, but for the past
eight years I have made it a daily prac
tice to take one or two cf Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets after each meal, and I
attribute my robust health for a man
of my age to the regular daily use of
Stuart's Tablets.
My physician firs tadvlsed me to use
them because he said they were perfect
ly harmless and were not a secret patent
medicine, but contained only the natural
digestives, peptones and diastase, ana
after using them a few week-? I have
never ceased to thank him for his advice.
I honestly believe the habit or taking
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals
is tne real health habit, because their ns-3
brimrs health to the sick and ailing and
preserves health to the well and strong."
Men and women past fifty years of ag
need a safe digestive after meals to tn
pur a perfect digestion and to ward off
aioease and the safest, best known ana
most widely used la Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Thev are found in every well reetuaxen
household from Maine to California and
in Great Britain and Austral!. aj-e rapi !
ly pushing their way Into popular favoa-.
All druE-elsts sell Stuart's Dyspepela
Tablets, full sized pkgs. at B0 cents ard
for n weak stomach a fifty cent pacicagf
will often do fifty dollars worth of good.
