The Cemetery Commissioners de-
serve great deal OF credit for the way
they are taking care of the Cemetery.
This week they had all the trees and
shubbery trimmed UP by Thos. Gard
ner, who seems to know more about
that than he does about G. A. Post,
and the sidewalk in front of the Gene
terry has been put in better condition
than il ever was. If the people who
have private lots in the Cemetery
would ouly keep the weeds down aud
do little trimming in their lots occa-
sionally, the Cemetery would continue
to look pretty as il does now. 1t
would be pity now to have the Gene
terry sidewalk rooted up by hogs, and
as it is the interest of all to have IL
kept in good condition, we wish to
remind the people who live that way
that the Cemetery Commissioners have
a standing offer of $1.00 per head fol
every pig or hog killed on the Gene
terry sidewalks from Mr.. John Will
liams' gate to the end of the Cemetery

CHICAGO, Nov. 3O.-President Ban Johnson

a visit to two or three of the cites in the

to discuss the amendments to- the national
agreement relating to the drafting of minor
league players that were adopted at the
Philadelphia meeting, and also, undoubtedly,
to talk over the eighth club franchise. Mr..
Johnson refused to discuss the latter feature
and as yet it is only problematical what the
action of the Western will be in reference
to franchise in this ety.. whether or not
