The Maine college baseball season
opens today, with a game on the
Whittier Athletic field at Brunswick
between the Bowdoin and University CT
Maine mines. There is no league among
the four Maine colleges, this year. but
each college has games arranged with
all the others. Thus a championship
could be figured out at the end of the
season, but for the fact that some OF the
colleges have only two games arranged
with some of the others while some
have three games arranged all around.
Thus last year, at the end of the
season, both BoWdoin and L. of NJ.
could figure out good claim TO the
championship. This year, all four
colleges are counting on winning first
place and with the ingenious use of
the higher mathematics, it is possible
they will all succeed. 1t is too bad they
cannot agree to have a regular league,
as in the old days

1t is always easy enough to explain
those accidents to the big yachts after
they occur. It. was this brace or that
stay or a certain bolt that gave way
and weakened the rigging SO that the
mast went overheard. Two years ago
in their preliminary work both the
Shamrock II. and the Constitution lost
their masts. The Columbia was dis
mantled in trial race in August, 1893,
and the Shamrock l. in that same year
lost her topmast in the second race for
the cup. Until this accident to the
Shamrock Ill. however, there has been
no loss of life. though the world well
recalls the narrow escape of King Ed
ward VII. who was on the Shamrock
H. when it's mast went overheard. We
all hope that plucky Sir Thomas may
be able to make the repairs promptly
and that no more accidents will occur.

MAHASKA FAIR.
Officers Chosen and Program Ar
ranged for 1908.

h annual meeting of the Mahaska
county fair association was held in the
judges room of the court house Mon.
day afternoon. 1t was attended by
about thirty stockholders of the asso-
citation and was a very quiet and bust.
ness like meeting.
The report of the secretary was
read. From this it was learned that
the summer race meeting given by the
association came out just about even
and the fair gave a small profit. The
association has been to some little ex.
pense during the year. The rebuild.
ing Of the stalls on the west side OF
the grounds was quite an item and
several hundred dollars worth of 9th.
er repairs and work added to the ex.
pense account.
The election of officers for the ensu'
ing year resulted as follows:
D. A. Hines, President.
]. w. McMullen, Vice President.
Ed. Pritchett, Secretary.
G. w. Shockley, Treasurer.

1t was determined to hold the annual
fair again this year. The dates of the
fair will be determined at a later
meeting of the board of directors.
The Secretary, Mr.. Pritchett, is au.
thorized to attend a meeting of the
Cedar Valley Circuit association, OF
which the Oskaloosa- Fair association
is a member, and to make arrange,
ments for a midsummer meeting. Ar,
engagements are being made whereby
the meeting will be the greatest horse
affair that has ever been e e in this
part of the country. Larger purses
are to be offered and a better meeting
in every way will be had than has ever
been seen in this locality.
Secretary Pritchett made some
recommendations in his report that
were adopted by the meeting. The
Secretary advised that the cattle sheds
be floored, and raised out of the damp,
ness that is now in the building. He
also recommended that the building be
leased to the stockmen for the purpose
of holding sales, etc. A few minor i'm,
provements will be madefor the gen.
eral betterment of the grounds and

On the motion of County Attorney
j. A. Dewitt, in the district court, the
case of State of Iowa VS.. Joe Haughey
was dismissed yesterday. Haughey
was accused with Ed Walthall for en-,
tering Hamilton & Hamilton's hard
ware store and stealing a lot of knives
and razors a year ago last August,
Walthall pleaded guilty to the crime
and is now serving sentence in the

count of his statement that Haughey
had nothing to do with the crime v,
e. Hamilton filed a request with the
county attorney to have the case with
drawn.
Important Coal Case.
A. C. Perry, of Abba, was attorney
for the PLAINTIFF in the case of Moore
VS.. Price etal. This was an important
coal case and occupied the courts
attention for a week. 1t seems that
the coal company had bought the coal
under 12O acres Of Mr.. Moore's land
in Jefferson township. They also
bought the right to mine the coal and
sank a shaft accordingly. After the
coal under the Moore land hal been
mined they began taking coal out
from under adjoining land through
the shaft on the Moore farm. Mr.
Moore, whom Parry represents,
brought suit to restrain the coal com
pany from this,as they had not bought
the privilege. The court granted the
injunction as asked for and now the
coal company will either have to sink
a new shaft or arrange with Mr.,
Moore for the privilege Of taking the
coal out through the shaft on his
farm. The case establishes a new
precedent which is very important
to both operators and those who sell
coal mining rights.

QUEER CHURCH CASE
Court Hold Members Are En-
titled to Two Languages

Webster City, Ia, Jan. 3.-Judge
George w. Dyer has just rendered his
decision in the famous case of G. j.
Sherman and John Hanfeldt ct al VS..
Archbishop John J.. Keane, of Du-
buque. By the terms of the decision
the plaintiffs are entitled to o
from the Catholic church in Williams
the sum of $2,430.10 with interest at
the rate of 6 per cent.
The case arose over a church row
several years ago. In 1895 the church
was destroyed by a cyclone and later
subscriptions were started for the
erection of a new church. The
Plaintiffs in the a S subscribed lib
erally-giving $2,430.10. Their sub
scription, however, was made condi-
tional upon a dual language speaking
priest being sent-one capable of
speaking both the German and the
English language. This was under
the regime of Archbishop H~ennessey,
now deceased. The church was built
but no dual language speaking priest
appeared. Archbishop Hennessey
died and was succeeded by Archbish-
op Keane. The latter held that he
might send whatsoever kind of priest
would serve best the people from his
point of view. The plaintiffs then
began action against the church
through Archbishop Keane-the GUS
todian of it's funds-to ecove their
contributions because of a breach of
contract.
Judge Dyer in his decision holds
that the contract was legal and that
by the death of Archbishop Hennes-
sey it passed to his successor and
that through it he Is holden. The
decision further states that Hennes-
sey failed and Keane still refuses to
carry out the contract and that there
fore the plaintiffs are entitled to re-
cover their contributions. The costs
in the case are taxed to Keane and
the judgment is made a lien on the
property and the same, or so much Of
it as may be necessary, is ordered to
be sold to satisfy the judgment. The
case will probably be appealed.
