NASHVILLE COUNCIL STOPS
SUNDAY BASEBALL GAMES.
Action Follows Month of Agitation
and. Though 1t Offers Chance for
Fight, May Not he Contested.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Nashville, Ill, June 2o-Sunday baseball
has received its death blow in this city at
the hands of the City Council by reason of
an ordinance passed at its last session.
The ordinance prohibits the playing of
baseball and football in the city on Sunday.
The violation of this section is punishable
with a fine of SIS. The second section pro-
hibits the advertising of Sunday games In
the city limits during the week and any in
fringement of this law carries with 1t
fine Of like proportions as the first section.
This bit OF municipal legislation is the
result of an agitation that has been carried
on in Nashville the last month and which
against the playing of ball on Sunday. A
committee was appointed TO wait on the
Council and present an ordinance. request
ready been prepared and received its three
readings on the same night. 1t passed the
Municipal body by a two-thirds vote. 1t
becomes effective tomorrow
According to the plat of the city the land
on which the ball park Is situated Is In the
city. 1t was added to the city in 1891 by
1t 10 be invalid it was added without
his consent. 1t was taken in upon the con,
sent of a former proprietor. but who had
previously disposed of it. This would In all
likelihood present a legal tansle, but it will
hardly be fought.
The Nashville Baseball Club, against

has been hurt considerably by its passage.
The club thus far had an excellent season
and was on prosperous footing. The team
was playing winning ball and had but one
defeat registered against it. 1t is probable
that the club will disband for the season.
although 1t has had numerous offers to fin
sh the Sunday season out of town.
Most of the games have been played with
first-claSs amateur teams of st. Louis. and
the club has quite number of games
scheduled with teams of the Worlds Fair
CITY, These will probably be Cancelled.
Several prominent citizens. ardent sup
porters of the national game, have Signitied
their willingness to assist the club to fight
the ordinance. but it is hardly probable
that any action will be taken in the mat
ter. Nashville Is probably the first town in
which Sunday baseball has been stopped as
far as Southern Illinois and Missouri is con-
cerned. the game being decidedly popular in
cities in this territory

TWENTY-FIVE INDICTED
FOR TORTUR|NG NEGROES.
Alabama Peonage DsclOses
That Blacks Were Often Beaten Deah-Laborers Bought
Sold Convict Farms While Under Sentence of Year
for Such Petty Transactions Borrowing Dollar.

the law is applied. 1t is the universal
practice for farmers to hire their laborers
by the year, each negro signing a written
contract to work for that time.
Having once signed the contract. the
negro must live up to its very letter. The
alternative is slavery.
When a negro is convicted of violating a
contract in any degree he is promptly SEN
fenced to Imprisonment and fined.
Very rarely can he pay the fine. and so
he is sent to a convict farm to work it
out. Then his slavery begins, and that he
ever regains his freedom is not the fault of
his owner" 1t is always easy to trump
UP accusations under which he is kept in
bondage.
NEGROES WHIPPED TO DEATH.
1t is almost impossible to exaggerate the
horrors Of the peonage system which have
been brought to light since the Federal
Grand Jury has been investigating the mat
ter.
Murder of the slaves" has been common
Negroes have been whipped to death,
dubbed to death. and. more mercifully, shot
to death. Scores and scores have been
MANNED for life.
Women and children have been torn by
savage dogs and have suffered like the men.
Case after case has been found by the
Grand Jury in which affdavits and testi-
mony under oath have left not a trace Of
doubt of the tortures inflicted upon their
helpless victims by the brutal slave driv-
ers."
One negro, who appeared before the Grand
Jury, exhibited his legs, which were SCARED
from the thighs to the heels. They had
been torn and mangled by dogs sent in
pursuit of the negro on one occasion when
he endeavored to escape from his tortures.
Sarah Nealy's fate is a typical example
Of the workings of Alabama's peonage sys-
tenn. An affidavit, signed by half a dozen
negroes who the woman murdered,
tell this story of Sarah Nealy's death.

carbonateS and chlorides. The crush ing machinery in the mill is very similar to that in ordinary cOncentra- ting mills. and this is followed by q series of screens and sizers in which the pulp comes in contact with cur rents of air. By the latter there is constantly going on a separation of the lighter from the heavier material. In other words, currents of air take the place Of %STc7. One of the feat ures of the mill is the drier, which eliminates most Of the moisture from the ore before it takes the course through the separators. The machin- cry in the mill is extensive and con- plicated and interminable difficulty was experienced in making it work and keeping up repairs. The eXperi- ment was not commercial success, but Mr. Flindt attributes this to me chanical defects. He believes the principle of dry concentration in- yolved is correct and that eventually it will be successfully put into practice

Dry Concentration.

 mill for dry concentration at Eureka.
 Utah. The mill was provided with
 special equipment designed by F. w.
 Wood. and was erected at the expense of F. J. Harrel, who had control or
 the Wood patents for Utah. It was erected on ground of the May Day
 mine and was leased for two years to F. A. Flindt, who had similar lease on that mine. Both leases expired January I, 1903, since which time the mill has been closed up. During a year and a half the mill was eNperi- mentcd with about 1000 tons Of May Day ore were run through it, by which about six tons were concentra- ted into one ton. The ore carried sil- yer, lead and gold, in chloridcs, sul- phides and carbOHates. It i- claimed by Mir. Flindt that he demonstrated. that by this method better saving could be made than by wet concentra- tion.
