May BE Organized I'm Belding-One
Game Already Played.
There is considerable interest being
taken in the popular game of golf,
and 1t is very probable that a club
will be formed in this city to encour-
age that wholesome and beneficial
out door amusement When Earle
Wilson returned from Chicago he
brought along set of golf parapher-
MALTA, having been interested some
what in club there and quite famil-
lar with the method of playing.
Monday morning the first game of the
kind ever played in this city was in
dulged in by Mr. Wilson and DIR. j. H..
Armstrong on the base ball grounds
in Ellis park, the latter winning i'm a
hotly contested event by six points.
Any number of players may take part
in the sport, but usually half dozen
is sufficient to make it interesting.
Unlike croquet, billiards or ping-pong
which require a smooth surface for
successful operations, the game of
golf affords more excitement and
pleasure on rough lawn. The balls
used are of gutta percha and con-
siderable smaller than billiard ball.

Total Abstinance illustrated In song
by NJ. A. Lee.
The two services given in the Cong
regational church along the line of
gospel temperance work by Marion
A. Lee were attractive and highly
appreciated by large audiences. On
Sunday night Mr.. Lee gave short
temperance talk which was very in
teresting and instructive especially
to the boys and young men whom he
urged to shun the wine cup and give
the saloons a wide berth.
He is fine singer and sang a num-
ber of songs. The views illustrating
the song Ninety and Nine, Ten Nights
in a Barroom, Rock of Ages and 9TH
ers were especially fine.
The entertainment Monday night
partook largely of song service illus
trated in words and pictures. The
church treasury was benefited out of
the proceeds to the amount of 1884.

ster BUYS 1t

Negotiations between William j.
Knott and Oscar +. Webster have
been brewing for some time regard
ing the sale of the formers Livery
stock and dray business. The deal
was consummated Saturday and the
same was transferred to Mr.. Webster,
he taking possession Immediately.
The consideration which is not given
out figured in the neighborhood of
$4,000. Mr.. Knott in company with
Dell Cobb established the business in
the city about six years ago in the w.
A. Knott barn which soon outgrew
the limited quarters. Mr.. Knott pur-
chased the interest of his partner
shortly after moving to the present
location and became sole proprietor.
Mr.. Knott's popularity and accom-
modating manner built up for him a
large and lucrative business and his
many friends will regret to learn that
he has sold out.
Mr.. Webster will continue the busi-
ness with the assistance OF his son
Edwin Q Webster at the old stand for
the present.

Pioneer Place of Worship I'm Use
Again-substantial Repairs
Made

The old Otisco church at Cooks
Corners, land mark in this section
of the country has been put in com
mission again and is being transform
ed into a pleasant and restful place
for religious worship
The structure was built years ago,
and has been used 10y Baptists, Meth
odists and several other denomina-
tions in its history and been subject
to the ups and downs and vicissitudes
of church polity and strife which
sometimes enters into odenominational
affairs. For some years past it
has been left to the mercy of the ele-
ments and it was rapidly going to
rack and ruin. Recently a society
was formed to put it in repair and in
tall service in its sacred precincts.
The roof has been newly shingled and
the interior has been put in fine shape
with paper and decorations. Tuesday
night fine entertainment was held
there for the repair fund and the old
church was packed with a large and
appreciative audience The program
was an excellent one and the proceeds
were large enough to assist in liqui-
dating portion of the debt.
The society propose to further i'm
prove the building by painting. A
fourishing Sunday school is held there
every Sa abbath and interest in church
work is having its influence in that
community.

VISITS WHITE HOUSE.
Admiral Schley Has Satisfactory Con.
ference With the President.

Washington, d. c., Jan. THE OBJ
ject OF Admiral Schley's visit to the
white house yesterday was to request
the president to entertain an appeal
for reversal of the action of Secretary
Long and disapproval of the majority
judgment of the court of inquiry. The
president granted the admiral's re-
quest. Rayner and league will today
assist Schley in preparing an appeal
Schley left the white house in a sat
isfactory mind. He was given full op-
portunity to present his case from his
standpoint and acquaint the president
with many of the details with which
the latter could not have any knowl-
edge. While Schley would not make
any statement regarding the matters
discussed. holding that any interview
between a naval officer and his CON-
mander-in-chief should be regarded as
confidential. ii is understood that he
brought to the presidents attention
many alleged injustices and discrepan-
cies in the majority report of the court
of inquiry.
Schley's interview with the pres1.
dent was the result of his determina.
tion to exhaust every means in his
power to overturn the Judgment rem
dered against him. His new appeal
will be different from that submitted to
the department. bringing out new facts
which have an important bearing upon
the controversy.

BANK ROBBERY.
East st. Louis Bank Robbed by Masked
Men.

tered the National Stock Yards bank
of East st. Louis, Ills, during the night
and bound and gagged the three watch
men. blew open the safe, and got away
with sum said to be $1,000.
From Z O'Clock until a. m. the rob.
bers worked on the vaults without he
ing interfered with. Lee Philpot, one
of the watchmen, Rough Rider friend
of President Roosevelt. was the first
to meet with the robbers. Three men
sprang out of fence corner, with re-
volvers. and said: I'VE want you. Phil
pot" and overpowered him before he
could reach his revolver. Inc robbers
took Philpot to the composing room
of the Daily National Stock Yards Re-
porter, near by, and laid him on the
floor. bound hand and foot, and gagged
with towels. Philpot heard the leader
of the robber gang say: Lets kill
him" He was deferred by the other
robbers. Albert Estep. another bank
watchman. and night fireman. l.. w.
Clark. were similarly captured and
bound.
Five minutes after the robber guard
left the composing room, Estep. who
had not been bound securely, worked
loose, and released Clark and Philpot.
This was about O'Clock. Estep then
ran to a telephone and called up

COMMERCE COMMISSION.
Commission Holding Important Ses
sions in Chicago on Freight Rates.

Chicago, Jan. What is expected
to be one of the most interesting ses-
sions of the interstate commerce com
mission ever held began here today,
when the commissioners listened to
testimony concerning freight rates and
alleged discrimination in connection
with packing house products in favor
of Kansas City.
Public interest, however, is centered
on tomorrows meeting, at which the
commissioners will endeavor to get
some light on the effect of recent rail
road mergers on the rate situation. IL
is said that inquiry into the proposed
combination of the Northern Pacinc,
Great Northern. and Chicago. Burling-
ton & Quincy is but the forerunner OF
the investigation which will ultimately
reach the Southern and Union Pacif1c
lines. Baltimore &, Ohio. Pennsylvania,
and the Chesapeake & Ohio.

THE MCDONALD INSURANCE.
Prompt Payment by the Mutual Life
Insurance Company.

Checks for $4,000 were received this
morning from the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company of New York, for Mrs.
Bess Mcdonald, widow of the late
Chas Mcdonald, whose recent death
was such a shock to this community.
w. l.. Hathaway. manager of the com
pany. gives the information that Mr..
Mcdonald had carried $4,000 of this
insurance since 1897. shortly after he
entered the employ of the Mutual Life.
but the other $1,000 was applied for by
him just one month to the day, in fact
almost to the hour, before the time Of
his death. On account of the insurance
being payable to his estate. there was
some delay caused in getting the
proofs Of his death made up, as they
could not be forwarded until an ad-
ministratrix had been appointed. and a
copy of the appointment accompany
ing the proofs, but as soon as these
were received at the home office. the
claim was promptly paid, being a delay
of about one day over the necessary
time for a letter to travel to New York
and back
The circumstances surrounding this
insurance should be a lesson to a
great many of our young men. who
scoff at the idea OF their needing the
insurance. and believe that there is
no danger of death overtaking them.
While one month before Mr.. Melon
AIDS death there was not in the entire
community, a healthier or more ath-
letic young man. He had never in his
life time known the taste Of any form
of intoxicating liquor, and had never
used tobacco in any form. These facts
were. of course, in favor Of long life.
but they seemed to bo no shield to him
when the time came. It should be a
source of great satisfaction to his rela-
tives and friends to know that his life
was Of such an exemplary character
and that while he was a good provider
during his life time, he had the fore
sight to also make liberal provision for
the wife that he left behind through
the wise province Of life insurance.
