DUST FROM THE DIAMOND.

Rockford comes Saturday.

day.
Berte keeps up an incessant chatter

like a duck.

and game has been postponed owing
to wet grounds.
There was good increase in the week
day attendance yesterday. The ladies
were out in force.
Thirty-eight hits in three games
misera bile luck Rock Island has been
having at the bat the past three
, days.
Bloomington has released Cassi

Davis. the much touted sticker OF
the Rabbits, did not get hit during
the Rock Island engagement.
Well, Hunk. maybe we can hand you
the same dose we gave to Pa Belden
If we don't it won't be because we
don't try.
Bob Cox, of this city, has applied

Detective Richard Carnes was hit
in the shoulder by a foul ball while
seated in the bleachers. \ small boy
fan shouted at him to pinch Catcher

The Dummies have dubbed Durkee,
their third baseman. Admiral Togo.
He looks like Jap, and by many is
taken for one. Durkee says he never
saw the Orient; neither did his pa nor
ma. His favorite author is the man
who wrote Down Where the Wurz-
burger Flows"
McDonough talked to LunGin like a
Dutch uncle during yesterdays game.
They work together splendidly. Nc
Donuugh came here with an injured
hand. and it is still very sore. He was
catching with one hand during part OF
the game Yesterday. If McDonough
is any better with the stick when both
his mits are i'm shape-well. he can't
do much better than he has done dur
ing the past three days. He had three
hits Sunday. three Monday and two
yesterday. Very poor.
Excepting their own. there is no
team in the league Rock Island fans
would rather see carry off the flag
than BeIden Hills Rabbits. This is
not meant As salve for the wounds in
fiicted in the three days battle that
has been concluded here. but it is the
verdict gathered from the expression
of hundreds of Rock Island followers
of the sport. Hills first requirement
OF Il man that he carries on his payroll
is that he is a ball player; next he
must be gentleman. Both have been
filed in every member of his team.
No rowdies among them. They play
the game the way it is meant it should
be played. and thereby win the admit
ration of every one that witnesses
an exhibition in which they are en-
gagged.

Pitcher Arthur Lundin held Cedar

single member of the Dummies to con-
meet with the Rock Island pitcher.
In addition to heaping the humili-
alton of three straight defeats on the

dozen. But the Bunnies' twirler met
the same fate that befell his
predecessors of the two days before,
Iolmes and Fiene, at the hand of the
hard hitting team opposing him, the
home players demonstrating with an
Inphasis that could not be misinter-
Dreted that they liked his samples as

Teams Give snappy Exhibition.

ASIDE from the gratIficatlon that the
fans felt for making the third straight
a shutout from the holders of the first
position in the percentage column, it
was a pretty ball game, both sides
giving snappy exhibition in the field.
The Dummies swung in all directions
in their efforts, strained almost to the
point of desperation, to find Lundin
safely. but the veteran Hill was the
one man on the team who was equal
| TO the task.
Rock Island threatened a score in
the opening inning. Thornton and Rob-
ertson leading off with hits. but Lally
and Lister flied. and Thornton was
caught between third and home while
Vandine was at bat in his attempt to
execute n double steal with Robertson.
The two tallies in the fifth were
brought with triple in left by
| Thornton. The scores were made by
Blakey and Lundin Miller, first up in
| this inning drew a pass. but was
thrown out at second by the pitch
er, who fielded Blakey's grounder.
BIakey advanced a base on wild
pitch. McDonough singled, but was
tagged at second when Lundin bound
ed to Berte at short. Then Thornton
located with the end of his hickory,
sending Il siZZler over towards Davis.
The fielder i'm grabbing for the bail
on the first bounce was able to just
get piece of it and when he finally
recovered il the runner had brought
up on third. Robertson ended the in
ming by striking out.
Bench Hits in sIAth for Four Runs.
The home boys worked their hitting
combination to perfection in the sixth.
Lally. first up. connected for n base,

and registered on Miller's hit. only be-
ing able to make third ON a single that
Vandine got before Miller. Blakey
planted long drive in the left gar
den and scored Nandine. Miller coming
home on McDonough'S fly to left Lun-
din hit for a base and tailed Blakey.
Lundin took second on another wild
pitch by Moore. but he could get NO
further. Thornton dying on a ground
er to Togo Durkee at third. The
score.

NO DISSENTING
VOTE is RECORDED

CHICAGO. June 23-For the second
time in the history of Republican con-
Nentions the selection OF a national
ticket was made today without dis
Senting vote. Theodore Roosevelt for
president received every vote in the
convention, while Charles w. Fair
banks for vice president was named by
reclamation.
Regardless of the fact that the nom-
anation of president had been asSur-
ed for months and the vice president
for days, the announcement of the ac-
complishment was accompanied by re-
sounding demonstrations, which at
tested the candidates popularity. No
fewer than 10000 persons participated
in the ratification of the party pro-
gramme. The band stationed high
among the girders of the hall was
drowned by the tumultuOus demon
stration. Hats were tossed in the air,
state emblems were waved and flags
f1uttered from every stand.
When ex-Gov. Black, of New York,
made his speech nominating Theodore
Roosevelt for president, the delegates
proved there was no absence of en-
thusiasm in their ranks when occa-
sion justified evidence of that quality.
For twenty-five minutes the great
throng showed its appreciation of the
conventions choice for president The
name Roosevelt came from every
throat. The New York delegates pa
raded the aisleS shouting at the top OF
theirrvoices. Other delegations Joined
the throng and the WELL ordered body OF

legal proceedings and had left for his
hotel before the sheriff and Donovan
arrived at the Coliseum. The two then
turned around and came back to the
Auditorium hotel, where, after wait
of nearly an hour, they gained admit
tance to Senator Platt'S room and the
summons was served.
According to Donovan, Senator Platt
and Mr.. Underwood, as officials of the
Tioga company, figured in the illegal
cutting of timber on tracts Of land in
Lincoln, Langdale, Forest and Villas
counties, Wisconsin, and in Montcalm,
Lake, Osceola and Newago counties,
Michigan.
Donovan's partner, Baker, whose
heirs are coplaintiffs in the suit, died in
New York ten years ago. 1t was three
or four years after Bakers death that
the alleged fraud by which Bakers
widow and children are declared to
have suffered was discovered.
Tonight Mr.. Underwood declared that
Donovan's talk of illegal cutting Of
timber on his land by the Tioga COM
pany was nonsense.
Il admit that Baker, whose partner
Donovan claims to have been," said
Mr.. Underwood, had a tract of land
in Wisconsin adjoining one controlled
by the Tioga company, but that land
was never invaded by our company
. The summons served on Senator
Platt and Mr. Underwood calls for their
appearance during the July term Of
court, which begins July 18.

PRESERVERS POOR
Witnesses Tell More Bad
Things of the SIocum

NEW YORK, June 23.-Much of the
testimony given at the inquest today into
the General Slocum disaster went to show
that the life preservers on that steamer
were almost useless. Paul Liebenow, a
passenger on the Slocum, who lost six
members of his family in the disaster,
declared that when the wires by which
the preservers were secured in the racks
would not give, he took hold of the pre-
servers and they crumbled like so many
soda crackers
Reuben Fl. Tudor testified that several
bodies f1oated in with life preservers on.
To test one of them, he said. he pulled it
to pieces with his finger nail. He still
had that life preserver in his possession
and promised to send it to the district
attorneys office
Other witnesses told of similar expe-
riences with the life saving apparatus on
the SlOcum, and of the great amount Of
powdered cork that hoated on the water
after the steamer was beached.
Capt. Van Schaick was brought into
the court room on q stretcher He ap-
parently was suffering greatly, but ex-
pressed a willingness to undergo an ex
animation by the coroner. He was or
dered back to the hospital. however, and
his examination postponed until next
week.
The hull of the wrecked Slocum was
raised today. Twenty-four additional
bodies were recovered today, bringing the
total number of known dead up to 907.
One hundred policemen who have been
making a canvass of all districts where
persons were reported TO be missing,
completed their work tonight. Inspector
Schmittberger, in charge of the canvass,
estimated the total number of dead. in
cluding the missing, at about 1000. Many
Of the missing were found.

CANNON WAVES
THE LINCOLN FLAG

While the demonstration was at its
height, Chairman Cannon stepped to
the front of the stage. He held in his
hand the banner which was waved in
1860 when Lincoln was nominated and
which had been used in every conven-
tion since. The flag showed the wear
and tear of many similar contests
''Uncle Joe" waved it vigorously and
kept time with his body. Soon the
whole convention was swaying in ex-
act measure.
The chairman tired and his place
was taken by a young man, who grasp
ed the Flagstaff in one hand and with
megaphOne led the yelling. He start
ed the call Roosevelt, Roosevelt!" re-
peated over and over again with the
system of college yell. 1t was taken
up by the threng and the cry of
Roosevelt" rolled over the hall in
volume so great and so terrific that
the shrieking of a hundred steam
whistles would have been dwarfed in
comparison. A little coIored boy from
Georgia and later a pretty little girl
dressed in dainty frock of white were
lifted to the platform and they waved
flags with vigor.
AT the conclusion of every secondine
speech the performance was partIy
duplicated and the speakers themselves
We're generously applauded.
When Senator Fairbanks had been
nominated for vice president there was
no dImlnutlon In the demonstration.

New Yorker, While Attending
Republican Convention, Is
Sued for $3,OOO,OO0

CHICAGO, June 23.-United States
Senator Thomas c. PIatt, of New York,
and j. Platt Underwood, of Chicago,
were made defendants in $4,000, 900
damage suit flied here today by ]. Dom
ovan, a Chicago attorney, who is the
surviving member of the lumber firm
Of Donovan & Co., a corporation doing
business in Wisconsin and Michigan.
Donovan asserts that Platt and I'm
derwood, who are officials of the Tioga
Manufacturing company, cut $3.00O,0 ,000
worth Of timber from Donovan's land
in Wisconsin and Michigan when they
had no title to the land. Donovan and
a deputy sheriff went to the Coliseum,
where the Republican national cenyen-
ton was in session, to serve the sum-
mons on Senator Platt. In the mean
time Senator Platt had heard of the
