A PRETTY GAME.


People who visited Twin-City park
yesterday to see the game between
Rock Island Des Moines were not
treated to the baby play which char
acteriZed two of the Jacksonville
contests, but on the contrary, were
given a nice clean article of ball
playing.
Sweeney was first up for Rock ISL
and, and the little man did some
thing that is very unusual for him
he struck out. Cantillon hit safe,
and went to third on Putty's single
in right field. Zeis stole second, and
in Katz's drive to right Cantillon
and Putty came home. Kreig hit to
third and was out at first, katz
going to second. Hill flew out to
left, retiring the side. Dies Moines got
cipher in its half, as also did Rock
Island in the second and third. The
prohibitionists got one in the second.
Burris hit to third and was safe at
first. Trafley knocked a liner to
Andrews, who threw him out at first,
Burris going to second. Hoffman hit
to Cantillon, was thrown out at first.
and Burris went to third. On An
drews' wild pitch to Sage, Burris
scored. Pequieney hit safe
over third and Porter struck
out. Then the Des Moines
didn't score until the seventh, while
Rock Island got one each in the
fourth and fifth. In the fourth
Lynch struck out and Andrews went
out from third to first. Sweeney
played waiter, and got a base on
balls, stole second and came home on
Cantillon's 2-bagger in right. But
the good work ended when Zeis went
out from short to first. katz came
up in the fifth and went to first on
being hit by Burial, going to second
on a passed ball. Kreig fouled out
to the third baseman, Hill was hit
by Burial and got a base, and
on Sage's single in left Katz scored,
Hill going to second. Lynch was out
on fly to second. Right here was
where we needed a nice hit, two men
being on bases, but Andrews was no,
equal to the task, and went out on q
liner to second. Each team secured
one in the seventh. For the Twins
Katz laced out a nice single ovel
first. Kreig went out from short &c
first, and Katz skipped over to sec
ond. Then Hill made a 2-bas,
hit over right field fence, scor.
ing Katz. Hill stole second, and OIL
trying to come home on Sage's hit tc
third, was out. Doc stole second
and Lynch was out on hit to short
In Des Moines' half Mcfarland hi

DIED ON THE WAY.

Dying Condition.
MoNARUoKs STRANGE TREATMENT.

Taken From His Sick Bed by His Com
rades. He is Given Liquor rs . stim.lant
Arrived at tho Hospital . Corpse, Hav-
ing Expired on the Carriage.
Some sensational developments
have come to light over the death of
August Monaruck. mention Of whose
demise was briefly stated in last eve-
ning's ARGUS. 1t seems that Mon
aruck had long been a sufferer with
consumption. and being in poor cir
cumstances and a single man, had no
one to give him the proper treat
ment. He boarded with some of his
country folk on Fourth avenue near
Sixth street. In speaking to a prom
inent physician, and a member of St.
Anthony's hospital board. last eve-
ming. an ARGUS representative
learned that the man in question
grew worse Sunday and was ordered
taken to st. Anthony's hospital.
Monaruck being at the time too weak
to be moved, some of his
friends hired carriage. and tax
ing the patient from his bed, started
to the hospital with him. and STOP
ped at a saloon down town, and made
the almost dead man drink what
they thought was stimulating to him.
Died on the Way.
The drive was then resumed, and
when the hospital was reached the
man was dead. One of the men
went into the hospital and told the
sisters that there was u sick man
outside in the carriage. and that be
would like to be treated there. The
sisters went outside to the convey.
ance and finding that the man was
dead, told the other occupants that
they ought to take body where it
came from, that she could do nc
good for dead person. Upon being
told that the deceased had no home,
permission was granted to take him
into the dead house, and the under.
taker was sent for.
The case is an exceedingly pecu
liar one in all its bearings.

1t NAV be said in explanation of the

ungentlemanly with Director OIL

given Rock Island the worst of it at
every town. There being but two
umpires in the eastern circuit. Pres
ident Rowe could do nothing else but
send Needham back, for Ward has
treated Rock Island more shamefully

The Jacksonville Courier gives
President Rowe, of the Western asso-
citation, a column roast, first for al
lowing Umpire Needham to ofliciate
in the games here, and second. allo W.
ing the last Peoria-Quincy games to
be transferred from the latter CITY to
the former. The Peoria Quincy
matter it terms piece of skuIldug-
gerry that should be Investigated by
the association. 1t comedies Rock
Island the pennant already, but
holds that there has been an unjust
discrimination against jacksonville
all the season, because of it being
the smallest city in the league. 1t
is fact that Jacksonville is de-
serving of credit for getting
together such strong team
for SO small a city, and no club has
had more friends here up to the last
series when Strouthers made such a
monkey of himself. The assertion
that Umpire Needham gave the Jacks
the worst of it is entirely groundless.
According to the Curriers' article,
Strouthers came here with the expec-
tation of finding cause for a Kick
with Needham. and according to his
own declarations before the first
game was called, he made up his
mind to either drive Needham off the
field or get off himself. The latter
proved the alternative, but the Jacks
simply gave the first two games
away, and did not attempt to win
either after the first few innings.
That there was an occasion for any
such exhibitions as Strouthers made
here, is purely imaginary. He came
prepared for trouble and he found it
when he attempted to run things
with high hand, just as he does on
the home grounds, and which every
club in the league has pronounced
the hardest city to win in of any.

Council Notes.

At the meeting of the city council
last evening the clerk read lengthy
plumbing ordinance. instructing mas
ter plumbers as to their duties, and
with view to lettering the sanitary
conditions of the city. 1t was re-
ferred to the city attorney for exam
ination.
A petition from Peter P. Pfaff. ask
ing that he be allowed a saloon Ii
cense for two months was granted in
the early part of the evening, but
when the council was about to ad-
iourn, Aid. Kennedy asked if there
was not a clause in the city ordi-
nances to the effect that a license
could not be granted for any fraction
of either six months. citing instances
where different parties had been
charged $3.50, which is the cost of
half of the year, for two and three
months license, and if such was the
case. wanted Pfaff's license reconsid-
cred. The city attorneys opinion
was sought, and he said it would not
be legal to grant license for any
fraction of either term. The matter
was referred to the license commit
tee.
The council still continues its good
work in the matter of sidewalk re-
form, and would wish it understood
by the property holders of the city,
that all who put their sidewalks
down before the ordinance is passed
will be exempt from all cost accru-
ing from court proceedings, a num-
Der having already adopted the plan.

HIGHER CIVILIZATION.
5. J. Kent of the Carpenters' Brotherhood
on Trades CuiOna.

on Trades Unions
S. j. Kent, of Lincoln. Neb., sec
rotary of the executive committee OF
the United Brotherhood of Carpen-
tiers, spoke at Turner hall last night
on The Merits and Value of Trades
Union HE gave an outline of the his
tory and work of trade unions, show
ing how great factor they had been
in the advancement of civilization.
The broad aims and objects of trade
unionism are but little understood,
said Mr.. Kent, though we are fight
ing against injustice. and for high
er civilization. We are not fighting
Legitimate capital, the best interests
Of society are our interests. We
stand for all there is of civilization,
viz, greater consumption by the
masses, whether it be of food,
raiment, art or literature. Mr.
Kent called attention in a for
chile manner to the condition of
the workingmen of today. Child la
Dor and female labor were touched
upon at length. and the speaker ap-
pealed to his hearers not to blame
capital for these conditions, but
themselves. They had the power in
their own hands to right these
wrongs not by barbarous methods,
but by intelligent organized effort.
The Higher Destiny.
Though pessimistic of the pres
ent am optimistic of the future. -
were the words of the speaker. "for
1 believe the great conscience
of the people properly appealed to
will respond. and the great heart OF
humanity touched by your demands
will be responsive. Come to your
support. and clearing every obstacle
from your pathway, lead you to a
higher destiny to a civilization not
yet realized; a civilization where ig-
norance will be considered our great
est foe, and education shall usher in
the brotherhood of man.
