MR.. CARNEGIE DID NOT
GIVE STERLING ENOUGH

Sterling's library board has decided
TO ask Andrew Carnegie for an aGdi-
tional $1,000 to complete its building
donated by the philanthropist. The
same difficulty as was experienced in
some of the other towns about here
has been met at Sterling and il is
discovered that the building as de-
signed will cost more than the $4,000
given by Mr.. Carnegie. 1t is esti-
mated that with reduction in the
cost of the furniture the building may
be erected as designed with the as
sistance of 5000 worth of Mr.. Car
negie's wealth.
The council is i'm favor of guaran-
tceing $1,000 n year for the mainte-
nance of the institution. y fund of
$40 has already been appropriated
by that body for the building site. y
reply to the request to Mr.. Carnegie
is now awaited. The letter to him eX-
plains that Sterling is larger than the
census report gives credit and that
the fund is not sufficient to erect the
kind of building necessary there. If
the advance is not secured the library
project will be dropped, perhaps.

Donnelly Does Good work.

Manager Donnelly, in the center
garden, gave as pretty an exhibition
in that position as has been seen here
during the season. He made four
put-outs in all. two of which seemed
almost impossible as they were long
and far to the side. Dubuque started
the game in the same rushing manner
that broke Rock Island down Mon
before the game was commenced,
both Lippert and jameson tallying.
Errors by Nandine and Lister were
responsible. Donnelly brought tally
for Rock Island in the first, going to
base on McWright'S error and scoring
on Everett's error. O'Leary scored in
the second inning after his two-bag-
ger, on Dickey's hit. In the third in
ming Dubuque was mired and was
never able to pun out while the game
lasted. Graham, first to bat, struck
out, but Nandine. Lister, 0'Leary and
Martin pounded out hits in succession.

Dickey's caught fly. Case jollied
things along with a two-bagger and a
moment later scored on Crum's hit.

Umpire Bobbie Cox evidently staid
with the refractory fans of Birming-

his opening there was rather strenu-
Gus. When he left for another South
ern league town the Birming-

While he felt badly about his treat
ment on his first appearance. he said
he had no prejudice against the Bir-
mingham team and would give them
a square deal wherever he met them.
There is no room for argument about
Cox being good umpire, but he has
an unpleasant manner that don't set
well on short acquaintance. He SAYS
he was formerly stone cutter, and
while acting as boss he got into that
way of ordering people about. Ball
players and stone cutters hook alike
to Cox. When he gets On the field he
is boss of all he surveys. and if any
body is in doubt he don't hesitate to

Rock Island evened up with Du-
buque for Mondays defeat yesterday
afternoon on grand scale and when
the smoke of battle had cleared away
the score board told a tale of 16 to 3
in favor of the home crew. The hit
ting of the locals was chiefly rcspou-
sible for this pleasant result, though
Dubuque made numerous errors. \.
Smith was batted out of the box in
the third inning, Rock Island then
making six hits and five runs off him.
Everett succeeded him ON the firing
line, but his fate was little better. for
in the eighth Rock Island had anoth-
cr attack of the batting malady and
during the course of that eventful i'm
ming scored six more runs. Case was
very effective and allowed the up
river men but six safe connections
of willow and leather.

Two More Runs
Two more runs were added to the
rapidly increasing Rock Island total
in the fourth inning, when Graham
hit and scored, with Nandine, on err
rors by Everett and a. Smith. Dickey
went to base in the fifth on Hughes
error and ran in, after stealing two
bases, on Cases caught fly. Until the
eighth inning no more tally making
was INDUCED in, but during that in
terval the entire Rock Island team
batted around and when the last man
had been retired total of six more
runs had been registered. DiclIey
started out by going to first on
Smiths error. y moment later Case
was hit by a pitched ball. while Crum
hit and filled the bases. Donnelly
next stepped to the plate and sent it
far enough to enable him to locate
first, while the Dubuque team was
trying to shut off the runners at the
plate. They were unsuccessful in this,
as Dickey and Case went home. Ora
