MOLINE MENTION

The picnic of Deere & Co.'S en-
ployes at Campbelrs island yester-
day was honored by the presence OF
Gov S. R. Van SAINT, OF Minnesota
and he addressed the people shortly
after noon. Gov. Van SAINT was in the
city on business with c. II. Deere, and
accompanied Mr.. Deere to the picnic
His speech was of the sturdy, plain
spoken kind. for which he is famous,
and reflected the interest which he
will always have for this vicinity,
where he spent his boyhOod days. He
spent the night as a guest OF j. Nj.
Gould, and departed in the afternoon
for the north The vast stores OF
turntables and eatableS shrunk like
SNOWFALL in a furnace as noon came
and passed at the island, but the sup
ply was replenished for evening. The
program of sports was carried out and
the winners declared as follows. Boys
race. under IL years, so yards, Phin-
cas- Taryer; girls race, under u years,

John Larson, of Sherrard, and Miss
Anna l.. Holmquist, of Saronville,
Neb., were married Thursday after
noon at the parsonage of the Swedish
Lutheran church in this city, Rev. c.
A. Hemborg officiating. They were
attended by Siefried Peterson and
Miss Esther Holmquist, sister of the
bride. They will live at Sherrard,
where the groom has prepared a home
for his bride.
An addition to Riverside cemetery
has been acquired by the city in the
purchase of eight acres of land from
r. A. Smith lying south of the tract
of land just in the rear of the Steph-
ems mausoleum. This land was bought
| by the board and municipal officials
| acting in conjunction, and the price
paid was $1,000, according to the deed
filed for record. This acquisition is
in line with the recent recommends
| ton of the cemetery board to the eff
| feet that the city needed more land
| for the burial of its dead. While there
is much unOccupied ground within the
present cOnfine of the cemetery, there
are not many lots for sale and the
areas available for annexation are
rapidly growing fewer. This tract
which has been purchased as the la
test acquisition will be added to the
cemetery at once and probably plated
in conformity to the plan followed
throughout the grounds.
Orville Yerbury, who has been elect
ed to the position of physical direc
tor at the Y. NJ. c. A, has assumed
charge. While there will be no worl
at present, he will get affairs in shape
for an early beginning. The classes
will be organized soon.

completed the DavenpOrt-ClintOn in
terurban and one of the most popular
business men of eastern Iowa. Mr..

Second street. He was AZ years of age
and lived with his parents where he

There is such a demand for antique I'd

will play Georgetown this afternoon. DOC"
Hiliebrand. who is with the Tigers, was
seen this morning by Star reporter. but
had nothing to say as to whether he would
play In this city this season or not. There
Is considerable mystery connected with his
refusal to don a Washington uniform. He
certainly fntimated to Lew Drill, the Sena-
tors catcher, that he and his brother
thought well of playing here. and 1t is more
than probable that some National League
ciuD has been putting a bug III his ear
in the way of a bigger salary. Both of the
boys played professional ball last year. and
the statement that their parents do not
want them to play ball for a livelihood is
regarded with ineredulity. The visits of
President Puliiam to Princeton of late have
significant look, and as Pittsburg has not
been backward about claiming doc" Hill

Dreyfuss is seen in the visit. OF one thing

BARRoWs IN TROUBLE.
Lost His Head Over Detroit's Defeat
and Was Arrested.

special from Nashville, Tenn. says
that Ed. Barrows. manager Of the Detroit
Americans. is very unpopular there and may
be invited to take his team elsewhere. Sure
it is that the Detroit team will never draw
very well around Nashville. Nashville de-
feated the visitors in the first game of the
series by the score of Z to 5. In the seventh
inning Carr was hit in the head by a
pitched ball, which occasioned delay. Then
Manager Barrows got into an alteration
with the crowd and was led off to jail,
which caused the game to end in the sew
enth inning.
ger Barrows was placed under arrest dur
Ing the game and was taken Off the field
by the main strength of two big policemen,
while a corps of detectives and blueeoats
trailed in the rear.
The cause of the trouble was that Bar
rows threw a bucket OF water into a crowd
that was guying him and the players and
also crowding them almost off their bench.
The trouble came in Detroits half of the
seventh inning. Nashville had scored six
runs, making the score to 8. Manager
BarroWs was not particularly elated over
this. On top of this Carr. the star first
baseman, caught one of the swiftest sort
of balls right on his nose breaking that
member. This did not tend to soothe Man
ager Barrows' ruffled temper. Carr was
carried to the players bench and crowd
sisted off the field the crowd remained in
touching distance of the bench, Manager
Barrows insisting that they move back.
Some words were exchanged, when he
picked up bucket of water and hastily
threw its contents into the faces of those
nearest him.
Harry Weihsfein Immediately complained
to the poiice,1 and a squad made for Bar
rows. They grabbed him by the arms, and
when he tried to shake off their clutch
they hustled him off the field by main
force. He was taken to police headquarters,
where charges of disorderly conduct and
resisting am officer were lodged against
him, He put, up, SO guarantee for his
appearance in cotirt.
Speaking Of the condition OF his team,
Manager Barrows said: Il honestly thought
I had shaken on the hoodoo when I got
here. but the first ing I go up against
is a ragged field to play on the regular
ball park being six feet under water Craw-
ford is still On the bad list and Barrett Is
in anything but good shape. Now I have
Cars injury to add to the list; but l am
hoping for the pest and trust 1 may land at
home with things in better condition than
l.-ey are now"
