Another Instance of the Legislature Pasting a Measure Without now ing Its Contents. Early Gossip of Prospects of Locals on the Diamond. Training for the base ball season of 1906 formally commenced today, so far as the Cedar Rapids high school Is concerned, and a large squad of aspirants for the different positions on the regular team reported for duty on the grounds near Coe college, where th team will be put into shape for the forthcoming contests. Manager Robey and Captain Horace Hedges are highly elated over the material in evidence and the bright prospects of wining every game, scheduled.

Inhere are plenty of applicants for every position and It will be a difficult matter to decide the exact personnel of the team at this time. Captain Hedges, however, will have no opposition for third base and barring all accidents will play the position throughout the season. The pitching staff will likely be made up of two men, Moore and Felgar, both of whom give promise of great work in the box. There are three contestants for the back-stop work, and each one shows up in fine form. The place lies between Elmer Demeray, Lester Charles and Ralph Le Oram, the latter of whom will no doubt win a place In the INDIA AND CEYLON TEAS Green or Black Directions 0 teaspoonful for two cups.

The meetings of the Equal Suffrage club had become so Interesting and profitable that it was decided to meet every two weeks instead of once each month as heretofore.

Jerry Stanek is the most promising man for first baise as is also Herbert Moorhead for short stop, while Kay Stark looks good for second base. McPartland, Oxley and Luberger are all trying for places In the outfield and will all show ability as athletes. However, there Is no certainty as to the Une-up of the team with the.

exception of Capt. Hedges at third. The schedule has been -ompleted and ia as follows. On April 21 at Ottum-wa; April 28 is open for track date; May 5 at West Waterloo; May 12 at Iowa City; May 19 at Vinton; May 26 West Waterloo will play here; May 31 will play Tllford academy at Vinton. This schedule is very unusually and Iwth the exception of the last West Waterloo game will be played entirely on foreign grounds, which will be a disadvantage If overcome will make the vcltorles all the more pleasing.

The high school track team will also commence work next Monday, and the Indications are that about thirty men will turn out and try for positions. The driving park on the west side will be secured for these events, and the prospects for a successful season in this particular branch of athletics are very bright.

For that reason a bill was passed providing that no campany having no franchise from a city or town 4can extend Ita lines without first securing a franchise. The Bell has no franchise coming in under the old law an thus has callmed that having been established before the law waa created it has in fact a perpetual franchise.

By providing that it cannot extend any of Its lines or build new lines till it first gets a franchise the senate believes it will force the company -to go before the people In all communities where it does business to secure franchises. Hughes Bill to Governor. The anti-pass bill caused very little trouble in the house. Those who had fought the bill and desired that it be killed, if not In one way then another, realized that It was useless to longer keep up the fight and so the house concurred in the senate amendments and clinched the whole matter. The bill now goes to the governor.

The conferrees on the child labor bill came to an agreement and reported a substitute bill which will probably be passed by both houses. It la a compromise between the house and senate bills as passed and the friends of the movement say that the changes are such as to make the bill very satisfactory. The bills appropriating for state Institutions passed the house. The one for educational Institutions calls for J203.500. The one for the institutions under the board of control calls for $433,350.

Mr. Coburn of Cherokee tried to get in an amendment to add $125,000 for a new building at the Cherokee hospital, but It failed. Mr. Teter of Marion offered an amendment to the educational appropriation bill cutting off $60,000 from the support funds, and he supported it with a speech in which he contended that the money being spent at these institutions Is too much. His amendments were rejected.

The bill as has passed the house and as It LeS4Lese9aseseses So different does he look In his uniform that probably few of the patrons of the game will recognize at a glance the portrait of Russ W. Ford, who la confidently expected to be Cedar Rapids' wining pitcher and the premier artist of the Three-I league this season. Ford began playing ball on the vacant lots of Minneapolis, his home city, 11 years ago. The manager of the team "The Yellow Kids," used to give him a dish of ice cream for every game he won, and towards the end of a successful season two dishes. In 1904 Ford started his professional career with the Enderlin, N.

Independent team, which disbanded In May, Ford going to Lisbon, N. which team defeated everything In the state. Manager Watkins of Mineapolis, through the influence of Ford's brother, who was a member of that team, gave the youngster a try-out, Watkins "farming" him to Donnelley of Springfield last spring. Donnelley allowed Ford to pitch three innings against Cedar Rapids, substituting Briltsen, and a few davs later released him to Manager Hill. He proved one of the wining pitchers of the leaugue.

Ford Is 22 years of age. 5 feet 10 Vi inches tall; weighs 165 pounds. He Is a clean, gentlemanly, intelligent young man. worthy of a position In any society. His return to Cedar Rapids next week will delight the fans.

The house has passed a resolution authorizing a commission to make investigation of the feasibility of establishing In the state prison of Iowa of a twine making plant. Members of the appropriations committee were favorable to this project provided it could be shown that it would not cost too much, but they believed the legislature did not have sufficient information on which to act and they asked for this Investigation.

A fair-sized audience enjoyed one of the most satisfactory plays of the season at Greene's last night 'The flans-man." Those who have traveled to any extent In the south can the better realize the fact that. the dramatization of the book paints feebly Indeed the awful conditions obtaining in that section during the "Carpet -bagging1 days. They would also miss the peculiar yet pleasing dialect of the south, which faithfully imitated upon the Rtage In the north would seem to most people to be greatly overdone.

Rut withal "The Clansman" is a strong play and one that should live for many years. The cast is an excellent one. The characters of "Nelse, an old-fashionud and "Eve," Nelse's wife, taken by Mr. Kehrwald and Miss Durund. could hardly be Improved upon.

Special mention should be also made of the work of Franklin Ritchie, as "Ben Cameron;" Miss Claire McDowell, as "Nellie Graham;" Mabel llrownell, as "Elsie Btoneman." and Wm. H. Tooker. as "Slas Lynch," the colored lieutenant governor of South Carolina. The play Is beautifully staged and very correctly costumed.

The bill for tonight Is Nat M. Wills in "The Duke of Duluth." TONIGHT. Are you susceptible? If so, visit Greene's this evening. Nat M. Wills and his big company of musical associates appear In Broadhurst Cur-rie's latest paragon of frivolity, "The Duke of Duluth." a farce of today that contains all the ingredlinls of comedy, music and song, and a large company of auxllarles numbering seventy, most of the girls selected for their beauty and grace, as well as vocal powers.

Nut Wills, the happy tramp, is seen at his best in the role of "Darling Doo-little." His songs and parodies are new and original and evoke rounds of applause. The scenery and costuming is magnificent and gorgeous and the cast is a star one. In addition to Mr. Nat Wills are such clever people as Miss Etta Pearce, Hattie Arnold, May Harrison, Tony Hart, Frank White and many ohers equally notable. THE WILIAM H.

WEST JUBILEE MINSTRELS. There is no longer any speculation concerning the flow of melody and merriment that The West Big Jubilee Minstrels will bring to us at Greene's Wednesday, matinee and night, for the proud record made by this organization of singers, dancers, comedians and specialty artists has established Its position worth beyond question. Manager Ricaby ever on the alert for novelty features issald to have far exceeded his most sanguine expectations this season in securing a bunch of such at tractions as can not fall to command respect on account of their attractive character as well as surprising quality. Notably Is the engagement of the famous Geo. Van, Mc Devitt Kelly.

Geo. Wade and many other great artists. PEOPLE'S THEATER. At the People's theater this week Manager Vic Hugo offers an exceptionally good bill, being well balanced from beginning to end, and being highly satisfactory to all seekers of wholesome diversion. Kitzhugh and Bessie Dee open the show with the hypnotic illusion, "A Roman Sybil's Dream," which is a most interesting experiment in the "art of the mysterious." The performance of this team is really clever and pleases all to the fullest extent.

Ray W. Fay, the most popular singer who ever occupied the boards in this city, sings "The Story the Tsar Drop which Is very pretty and which is beautifully illustrated on the canvas. Tulsa, the girl with the big black eyes, made a notable hit and is an unusually clever little actress, her singing being of a high order. Especially pleasing was her rendition of the Indian song, "Silver Heels," for which she has special scenery. She makes several lightning changes of costume, the effects of which are strikingly beautiful.

George (Pork Chops) Elvers does a new and funny black-face act, which Is always good for a hit, and Knox Hr-( 1 crs offer a comedy music stunt whlcti is par excellence. Their act is all new and novel and both are artists of uncommon ability. The blograph as usual concludes the program with two new creations, "Storm Victims" and 'The Rarebit Fiend." the latter of which is a most Ingenious theme and which keeps the audience In an uproar for fully ten minutes.
