Senator Beck's bill to prohibit
United States Senators and Repre-
sentatives In Congress from acting in
the capacity of corporation attorneys
in Congress has passed the Senate.
Only eleven votes were recorded
against it, one of which was cast by
Edmunds Of Vermont, who recently
acted as counsel for corporation in
a case which may yet come before
Congress. When this bill becomes a
law, as it certainly ought to at the
earliset possible moment, many NOM
inal representatives of the people
will lose very lucrative practice.

King Ludwig II Of Bavaria COM
mitted suicide on the 18th inst, by
throwing himselfinto Starenberg lake.
DR.. Gudden, his physician, jumped in
after him, and was also drowned. The
king had been deposed by reason of
his supposed insanity and expensive
manner of running the government.
King Ludwig's brother Otto, has been
declared king, with Prince Laitpold,
his uncle, as regent. The dead king
was musician, artist and man of
genius, with clear political insight,
but mingled little in public affairs or
festitives, when he assembled the
throne. The people of Bavaria de-
plore his loss.

The Legal Profession

There are several reasons whv the law
business is not so profitable as it used to
be, said an old attorney from an interior
town. the other day. in conversation with
a Chicago newspaper man. One is that
the mercantile and collecting agencies
have almost monopoIized the collecting
business, which used to be a very large
factor in the LAWYERS receipts. These
claims worked in well with his other
business, and, without taking yery much
of his time made n handsome sddition tn

THE "LIvELY TURTLES"
Former Days In the Diamond Field
The First Crack Nine OF Rock
Island.

The revival of base ball interests in
Rock Island and the attempt TO arouse
the enthusiasm which vanished with the
collapse of the professional nine two
years ago, brings to the mind Of citizen
the first crack base ball club Rock Island
possessed. It was termed the Lively
Turtle" base ball club, of Rock Island,
was organized in 1868, and was composed
entirely of business men. There were
twenty-eight active members, so that
when business kept number away, there
was no difficulty experienced IN getting
up nine. The players were j. X.

The club did not know the meaning OF
the word defeat; it scooped every adver>
sary that entered the same field with it.
In word, the club became terror to all
competing mines, who had to contest
among themselves for championship

the clubs played aud vanquished, were
the Stars" of Davenport, BLACK
