BUFFALO BILL DRAWS
RECORD ATTENDANCE.

Yesterday afternoons attendance at
Buffalo Bills Wild West show was
one of the very largest in the history
OF that famous attraction. 1t was
estimated that the number of people
fully oqualled that which attended
the show a year ago in Davenport on
Labor day. and on that occasion the
record for attendance was broken.
Yesterday the seats were filled to the
limit and hundreds sat on the grass
in front. Again in the evening the
capacity of the long boards under the
big canvas bordering the arena were
crowded.
The performances both afternoon
and evening were fully up to the high
standard of the show. The daring
feats of Workmanship, the target
shooting, the tumbling OF the Arabs,
and the evolutions in the field of the
rough riders of all nations, awakened
round after round of applause. All
agreed that it was as clean an exhibit
tion as could be wished for and
highly instructive, both historically
and as to race characteristics. The
long trains left last night over the Q
for Galesburg, where an exhibition is
being given today.

HARVEY STANDS GROUND:
MOI AFTER MINING LEASE

District Judge Z. w. Harvey, of
Butte, Mont. was in Aledo yesterday
visiting his relatives, the Harvey
brothers, and in reply to a question
regarding the new charge made by
d. j. Hennessy to the effect that the
Judge had attempted to secure min
ing lease, said:
Eyes, have seen the statement of
D. j. Hennessy contradicting the
statement made by me. My state
ment still stands, and it will be made
more definite before the matter is
ended. There is further statement
in the Hennessy interview that per-
son claiming to represent me sought
a lease from the Amalgamated comPa-
ny. This may be true. 1t was so re-
ported to me before left Butte, but
l did not have time to investigate it
before leaving. No one had any
authority to seek a mining lease for
me. however. II is merely cloak to
hide actual bribery"

HASKELL GIVES REASON
FOR LEAVING MINISTRY

Rev. Wesley Haskell, of Moline,
who has been spending the summer
at Michillinda, was in Rockford this
week to confer with the official board
of the Church of the Christian Union,
the pastorate of which he accepted
and resigned before he entered upon
the duties of the position to take a
place in the Office of the Moline Pillow
company. 1t is understood the Rock
ford church had offered Rev Haskell
a salary of SIS, 500 year. His letter
to the church is as follows:
Il beg to withdraw my acceptance
of your generous and persistent call
to the passionate of the Christian
Union church. 1 regret that the de-
cision should be made at this late
hour.
Perhaps it would be well to say
that 1 have thought at times, and
seriously since my withdrawal from
the orthodox church, of business life
in the great world of men and affairs.
In the light of recent events the way
has been made plain and inevitable.
81 commend you to the imminent
God of life and love in all, through
all, and over all, blessed and forever
blessed. WESLEY HASKELL

TALES FROM THE TARS.

On Board u. S. S. Dorothea. Aug.
1--we weighed anchor at 100 and
went out 20 miles for target practice
with the 1-pound guns, and some very
good shooting was done.
Chief Boatswain Mate Charles Dali
las is giving us some fine pointers.
Boatswain's Mate Frank Skinner
and COxswain A. Shat proved them
selves fine marksmen at target prac-
tice today.
Harry McCarty was fooled again.
One of the boys told him that there
was telephone message for him. He
went TO answer it, and as we were
about fifteen miles out to sea the Off
Ger told him they hadn't made con-
nection yet. Harry doesn't see the
point and is still waiting for them to
make connections.
We had several boxing contests to-
day. Among them were Curly"
Blair vs. Z. Hill, and Coxswain +
Shat and Coxswain Mylo Scully. The
latter was hot mix up, Scully car
rying off the honors.

for the Aurora team.
Roth, of Evansville, has made 33
home runs this season. The fans of
that town are trying to establish this

sulting the statisticisn to ascertain If
any one man ever made more. There
is talk of giving Roth medal.
From now on the pennant fight will
be a bitter one. Terre Haute and
Bloomington will be on the road much
of the time and Cedar Rapids has a
chance to get back in the lead now
that it is home. All three teams will
work hard to win and the umpires
will have their hands full.

Manager Sage today announced
some changes in the Rock Island team
10 take place Immediately. Harry
Tate, the left fielder. is to be fined
and suspended for his capers of
Wednesday night and Hopkins put
in center. Hoy will take Tate's place
in left.
In the infeld, Middleton will have
trial at second and Rothermel at
short. The former has played second
and did good work there, and it is
thought the latter will cover short
effectively. Mullaney, who was made
field captain on the late trip away
from home, will be continued in that
position. doc" says that if the de-
sired results are not forthcoming
with the changes as made, there will
be more shifting about the field.

WITHDRAWAL OF PROTECTION.
Move of National of Serious Importanc
to Three-I League.

Move OF National of Serious Importance
to Three-I League.
TEE ARGUS baseball gossip the
other evening contained a squib of
serious Importance to the Three-I
league. 1t stated that after Septem-
Der 20 the National league will dis
continue the protection" heretofore
given by it to minor leagues through
out the country and will get into the
field for minor league players on the
same basis as the American league is
now.
By the terms of the national agree
ment protection, for which minor
clubs have paid big money every
year, contracts between players and
club owners are respected by all clubs
under the agreement and players
breaking contracts cannot play with
other clubs.
This protection, so called, has been
of but one use to minor league clubs
and that has been as "bogie man"
with which to scare players into hold
ing to their contracts. 1t was this
boyle man that brought Rusty"
kept him from remaining on the
blacklist any longer.
Without National protection the
American league this year voted to
recognize and respect every contract
between club owners and players.
and the league didn't have to pay
any big money into the National
league Golfers to do this, either.
However, it is said that in spite of
the rumored warning between the
two major leagues, steps are being
taken to bring about q peaceful set
Element of the baseball situation. IL
the two big leagues can get together
before Sept. 20, protection may stand.
Notes of the Diamond.
Bloomington tomorrow and Sunday
and then Decatur comes.
The directors of the Decatur club
held meeting the other night to
discuss the situation. 1t was decided
the franchise for next year. Tub
Noonan was released.
A ball game would have been a
paying affair after the show yester-
day afternoon. Some of the visitors
went TO the park at the usual time
under the impression that a game
would be played.
Cedar Rapids has adopted new uni
forms-darkish grey with red trim
mings.
A wreck prevented Terre Haute
from reaching Rockford yesterday in
time to play. There will be two
games today.
0. w. Bsment, president of the
association, is accompany
ing his team on the trip.
The Decatur team is facing finan-
cial shortage, but it is the feeling
that the citizens will see that the
final pay day is met.
Bloomington is going after the pen
naut hard. The management will
sign two more pitchers at once. One

Jones crossed the plate and Isbel1 went to

details failed to work successfully for Chi

like a shot and the runner was nailed
