A HARD, STERN CHASE.
M'DoNALD PROVED THE FAST.
EST sPR1NTER.
Read the Subpoena to Coyne as He
Pursued Him Down Washing
ton Avenue on a Run.

Another effort will be made this
morning to conduct the adjourned
hearing in the Minooka election con-
test brought by the anti-Coyne fac
ton of the Democratic party. An at
tempt was made to hold the hearing
on Saturday, but not enough sub
poenas had been served to warrant a
beginning. A week ago the hearing
had to be postponed because the
necessary subpoenas had not been
served.
Deputy Constable Mcdonald, Of AL
derman Howe's court, was given a
subpoena to serve on John Joyce, who
was the nominee of the Coyne ele-
ment for school director Mcdonald
searched for his man high and low,
but failed to locate him. He waited
around his home, waiting for him to
return from his daily toll. but he re-
turned not. The constable reported
the matter to court, and the sheriff
was directed to serve the subpoena
upon Joyce If IL took his whole office
force to do 1t.
Constable Mcdonald had quite q
lively time in serving a subpoena
upon John j. Coyne, the leader of the
Coyne faction, but he succeeded f.
| nally. He saw Coyne enter the Mears
building and tried to follow him into
the elevator, but the boy slammed
the door in his face. He realized that
his man would have to come out and
so he waited. Considerably over two
hours had elapsed when Coyne passed
by the constable, who was waiting in
the doorway.
Coyne turned and seeing Mcdonald
with the subpoena in his hand he
| darted back through the hail way into
I the elevator. Mcdonald followed him
into the cage and began TO read the
subpoena
The gentleman from Minooka be-
| came irirtated and started for the
street again on the run. He weighs
200, but is not bad as sprinter. Nc
| Donald is lighter and managed to
keep up with him, reading as he ran
| Coyne turned down Washington ave-
| nue. on trot and Mcdonald followed
ut his side, reading the summons.
| Coyne espied a South Side car when
Lackawanna avenue was reached, and
started for it, with the constable still
| after him and still reading. Just as
the portly politician swung himsel,
onto the rear step, Mcdonald finished
reading the last sentence oe the sub
poena and had won the day.

INCREASE WOULDN'T PAY.

The protest OF President Sexton
against the proposed increase of the
salary limit of the Iowa-Indiana-
Illinois League is we'll grounded.
Patrons have been given good ball
and almost all the clubs have made
money under the conditions which ex-
listed during the present season. The
league is prosperous. why should it
not be made permanent? Its future
will be jeopardized If the limit the
players are paid is raised 1t is prob
able that the stars will be missing
next season, but the rank and file OF
the players will remain with their
respective clubs and there is plenty of
promising talent ripe for development.
The people want TO see well-matched
teams in well-played and well-con-
Quoted games. An excessive salary
limit will give the larger cities an adj
vantage which will bring about the
bankruptcy of the clubs in the smaller
communities. Civil pride plays an Inn
portant part in minor league affairs
and often leads to the carrying OF a
heavier financial burden than the re-
ceipts of club iustifes. President
Sexton is right and those who have CO.
operated with him in reviving base
ball in the field that was practically
abandoned should heed the warning
that he gives. AS was to be expected
there were mistakes and disappoint-
ments this year, but none so serious as
to threaten the life of the league. Ev-
ansville, for instance, made wretched
start, but the clubs patrons were Loyal
and now they have team that is q
source of pride and profit.

Results in Feed Lot after Weaning.-
In the fall all these calves were placed
in the feed lot. where they were
pushed for baby beef. During the
seven months under experiment, the
skim-milk calves gained 440 pounds
per head, the whole-milk calves 405
pounds per head, and the calves nursed
by the cows 422 pounds per head. This
experiment shows that the feed cost
of raising good skim-milk calf need
not exceed $5.25 in contrast to s15.75
for a whole-milk calf, and So for one
nursed by the dam. The skim-milk
calf becomes accustomed to eating
both grain and roughness early in life,
is handled enough to- be gentle, and
when transferred to the feed lot is
ready to make rapid and economical
gains.-D. H. Otis, Kansas agricultural
