Diamond Liners.

The diamond was slow and muddy.
The weekday games are called at
$3.50.
Rothermel has a swagger similar
to Sweeney.
The Quincy team arrived this morn
ing over the Burlington.
Three straight from strong team
like the rabbits isn't bad.
The Cedar Rapids team left last
night for horne to meet Rockford.
Belden Hill occupied the bench. His
old injury, having sustained fracture
of the leg last season, is troubling
him again.
Rock Island sacrificed a golden OPP
portunity to score in the fourth
through what appeared to be ridicu-
lous attempts, owing to the slippery
condition of the diamond, at base
stealing.
President NJ. ii. Sexton, of the local
association, returned today from Du-
buque, where he attended meeting
of the league directors to determine
the disposition of the Quincy. fran
chise. 1t is almost certainty that
the franchise will be transferred to
Dubuque, where influential people
have come to the front and agreed to-
assume the financial obligations and
start the club out in good shape. IL
developed, to the amazenent of the
directors, at the Dubuque conference,
that President Browne had not even
exacted from Quincy her $500 guar
antee. However, it was shown that
the five other towns have their
forfeit up, are in excellent stand
standing, are drawing well and will
stick through to the end of the season.
1t was mistake to let Quincy in the
association, as she was the first one to
funk in two former leagues. But
with this single exception the associs
ton is in sound condition, and waIIe
slight embarrassment may be caused
by the present disturbance, it. will only
be temporary, and we viii be sailing
along as smoothly as ever in few
days.

FIRST POINT SCORED
Aldermen Seek Recognition at
the Hands of Mayor
McConochie.
CHARGES AGAINST OLD OFFICERS.

Executive Claims They Neglected Their
Duty and Failed to Work In Harmony
with Observation-Disclosures Immediate Ad-
journment Taken Until Tonight, When
Mayor VIII be Asked to Prove Allegations.
Majority members of the NUM-
cipal assembly scored their first par
liamentary victory over Mayor Will
liam McConochie at the semi-monthly
session of the council last night.
As soon as the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting were approved, Aid H.
l.. Wheelan asked City Clerk
Schafrer if charges had been filed by
the executive against the officers
whom he had removed from office. The
clerk answered that he had on his
desk n communication from the may
or. This was read. 1t set forth that
the reason for removal in each in
stance was for ''neglecting duties and
failing to work in harmony with the
present administration for the best
interests of the city" Aid. Wheelan
thereupon moved an immediate adj
journment until o'clock tonight for
the further consideration of the rea-
aons assigned for the removal of Off
GERS, the clerk being instructed to no.
tify by noon today each of the parties
against whom charges have been made
by the mayor, that they may appear
and defend the charges made against
their official conduct.
The motion was seconded by Aid.
T. A Fender Aid. Wheelan called
for the ayes and nays. the motion car
rying to >, Aid. Gall voting with the
democrats. A cheer went up from
the spectators as Mayor McConochie
declared the council adjourned, the
frank and determined stand made by
the aldermen winning the admiration
and sympathy of the spectators.
Expected a Fight.
Those not acquainted with the plans
of the majority aldermen-and few
outside themselves knew them-eX-
pected excitement. 1t wasapparentt that
Mavor McConochie did, too. for when
he marched into the chamber and
pounded his gavel upon his desk no.
tifying the aldermen on the outside
that he was ready for business, he
was CARRYING large chip on his
shoulder. He also had stationed be-
side his chair his right-hand bower,
Phil Miller, who had undoubtedly been
posted what to do-to carry his chiefs
arbitrary orders to any extreme that
his point might be gained.
The ridiculous position assumed by
the mayor in alleging neglect of duty
on the part of the removed officers is
shown in the fact that they only served
about a week under him, and during
that time conducted themselves just
as they had been doing. But one re-
ceived an order from the mayor, and
that was Chief of Police Fender, who
was delegated to 90 to Cedar Rapids
in search of evidence for the city in
the Starkey damage suit, and as soon
as the officer returned he was dis
missed. Failure to act in harmony
with the administration means moth
ing short of INSTRUMENTATION, and it
will be difficult for the executive to
prove either of the charges even to
the satisfaction of those republican
aldermen who are standing at his
back. if they will be at all fair in their
conclusions.

Land Grant Decision.

Of the court of private land claims in
the case Of the Antonio Gutierrez and
Joaquin Sedillo grants, which are stu
ate in Valencia county, just south of
Isleta. 1t should have been added that
this case Is especially important be-
cause it recognizes the conclusive effect
of long-continued possession with claim
of ownership, as evidence of perfect IT,
tie under the governments of Spain and
Mexico. The report as 1t came from
Washington was that the claim was cut
down by the court from 230, 900 acres to
20, 900, but Hon. Frank Clancy, the at
torney for Colonel Chaves, n of the
claimants, says this statement was in
correct and the claimants were given
fully and exactly what they claimed.

CIT A HAMMER
A Few Nails and a Few Pieces Of Plank
Are Needed.


The Woman's Board of Trade has SCI
an example worthy Of emulation in
making the walk at the library corner
safe for pedestrians. The various ten
ants of government houses should show
a little consideration for the public, ap-
probation Of privileges enjoyed ana
some of the pride. they might display In
property If they owned 1t by repairing
the walks. An expense Of a dollar or
two by each occupant for lumber, and
a little labor in driving down nails,
would make the walks comfortable and
safe. The tenants of the houses would
themselves get ample benefit for the
trouble and expense. The custodian of
the property should not have to exact
this from the persons who use the prop
erty, and will be justified in firing all
who do not exercise such care.
