HILL is ON A TOUR
Head of Securities Company and
Burlington Officials TraV-
cling in West.
SOME MYSTERY ABOUT THE TRIP
May Have to Do With Reorganiza-
ton Under New Iowa
Law.

James J. Hill came down to Chica-
go from st. Paul yesterday morning
and in an hour and a half after his
arrival he and a number of Burling-
ton officials were off on a special
train. The special left the Union de-
pot at IL o'clock, and it was an
nounced that the trip was one of in
spection of the lines of the Burling-
ton system to the west.
In the party were {. +. Perkins,
George b. Harris, president of road;
Darius Miller, first vice president and
traffic manager; Howard Elliott, sec
ond vice president, and +. y. Delano,
general manager.
The plan of the inspecting party
was to pick up the superintendent
of each division. Whether the lines
of the entire system or only the lines
through Illinois and Iowa were to
be gone over was matter to be set
tied as the party progressed.
Reorganization Talk.
The journey of the president of the
Northern Securities Company and the
officials of the Burlington gave rise
to considerable speculation in rail
road circles as to what il portended.
None of the party interested gave an
intimation of the possibility of it hav-
ing aught to do with the reorganiza-
tion of the Burlington under the re-
cent law of Iowa, nor was there any
other information given out other
than that it was simply a tour of in
spcction of the condition of the lines.

gotten out by \. G. Spalding & Bros,

can easily be carried in ones pocket
and yet there is ample space between
its covers for recording all the
season. There are also rules for
scoring included that might be stud
led with profit by even the old heads.
Such a book properly kept would
prove of great interest and usefulness
to any close follower of the national
game.
Misplays on Cases part rather than
poor pitching contributed to the de-
feat of the locals.

Inability to successfully negotiate
with Dorner's curves was responsible
for the runs Rock Island did not get
yesterday and inOpportune errors
were responsible for those that came
Decatur's way. Three two-base hits
formed the home teams total while
the visitors five were stretched out
with passes where they counted,
There was little hard luck about
it, too, for three times Rock Island
had men ON third and in each case
there was also Il man on second. So
that a hit would have meant prob
ably two runs in each instance. The
hit, however, was not Forthcoming.
There were no sensational features
and the attendance was not large,
preparations for the encampment and
the fact that il was Monday keeping
many away.
Rock Islands lonesome tally turn
ed up in the seventh. Donnelly drill
ed on four, stole second and on a
throw over second base passed ON to
third. Conwcll. i'm the meantime, fan
ned. and with Case up, Holmes rcceiv-
ed foul tip ON the end of the finger
and gave way to Schcwbridgc behind

Madness.ProducinC Drink,

The coal region foreigner has a reputa.
ton for lawlessness which comes from sto.
ries of murders and assaults committed
by him, of fights at wedding celebrations
and at chirstenings and of rioting on pay
day nights. For all these performances
polinly is to blame. 1t is necessary in or
der to enjoy the payday night carousal
properly for the foreign coal miner to be
drunk and he achieves this condition with
polinky. The men who invented polinky
were too short OF cash to buy whisky
alone, and beer did not have sufficient ef-
feet on them. So polinky was invented,
and it has served it's purpose, producing
about the most devilish fighting drunk that
was ever possessed by man.
The receipt is simple. First is needed
wash tub. Sometimes this is not so clean
as it might be, but that is trivial mat
ter. :.
Half a keg of beer is emptied into it,
and into the beer is put about a gallon
of whisky, rank, raw whisky. Some spices
are added to taste, and the mixture is thor.
oughly stirred. Serve in anything, and re-
plenish to suit the thirst:
Given a proper quantity of polinky, a
christening or wedding feast which starts
at S will become lively at 10, and will pro.
duce a fight at IL. and, with little effort,
a murder at IL. If not the murder then
there will he general free fight in which
all sorts of weapons are used except the
polinky tub.
So demoralizing are these payday fights
and the consequent murders and injuries
that the police now stop them in the in
cipent stage wherever possible, and in the
last year or so they have become less fire.

the smaller coal villases.-New York Sun.

As I walked down the street in the
bright sunshine some afternoons age,

the suns rays in a small mirror, and

to fairly blind those on the street. An
other little boy, supposng that this s,;dse re,
of glass, tried to catch the suns rays, but
with no success. His p!aymates told hin,
that his glass was all right, and he labored
diligently, but there was no reflection.
There was q splendid picture of human

With God, any more than the difficulty in
the suns reflection was with the sun. The
difficulty is always down here; The sun is
all right. God is all right. But the heart
must be like the polished mirror, or it can,
