Will Be Treated Right.-While Du-
buque and Decatur have been doing a
deal of talking about what they will
do for the members of their teams in
case the pennant is landed. there has
been no agitation OF the subject here.
1t isn't thought necessary. The Rock
Island players are working just as
hard as if untold riches were promised
them in case they are victorious. They
do not need that sort of a spur to do
their level best At the same time
they know from Rock Islands base
ball reputation that local fans will not
take back seat for those of any other
town in the league when il comes to
showing appreciation in a substantial

J0hns0n Z Luck.
Plunger Won Fortune With Rossben Only 10 Lose IL
 or Other Horses.

The winning of princely fortune
 with ashorse only to lose every cent of It in backing others Is the brand of turf luck that has overtaken David c. Davey) Johnson, the veteran horse
 owner and plunger.
 That is typical racing story. Rae | ing is game of seesaw if ever there
 was one and Johnson is simply getting more of the most costly experience in
 the world-horse racing experience. Notwithstanding his assertion that he
 Is broke on account of unfortunate
 wagers on other horses, Johnson, owner
 of the champion Roseben, won at least $1S3,500 on that remarkable sprinter in the season recently closed. His gross receipts on wagers alone were | s243,500, but from that sum must be deducted $80,000 lost on Roseben, leav- ing $163, 500 profit, to which must be added S20,000 of stake money, all won on an animal for which he paid S4,300 at Morris park, New York, last Octo- Der.
 Roseben's campaign since last March has been one of the most remarkable for such period of time in the history of the American turf. Out of twenty | four starts on tracks under jockey club control this great gelding has won fif l teen races, has been second five, third once and unplaced three times, on one of which occasions he nearly fell down through being forced into the heavy going on the outside of the track at the Belmont park spring meeting. Mir. Johnson, who has been interested in the turf for many years and has bet millions of dollars on races, custom arily places S10.000 on Roseben to win, but once this season he played him across the board at odds of to 1, the longest price offered for the whole twenty-four races. That was at Belmont park, New York, on May 6, and he collected S23,600. His biggest profits for one day were $32, 900. at Saratoga, N. Y.. on Aug. 22, when the price was Is to 5.

 on by Police.
 GEORGETOWN, British Guiana, Dec. "A strike of wharf laborers which is in progress here assumed a very serious aspect when the police were compelled to fire on a riotous mob, and it is reported that five of the rioters were killed.
 Later in the day the rioters attacked the governors house. The governor and other officers are now besieged in the public buildings. The arrival of warships is anxiously awaited.
 The British cruisers Sappho and Dia- mond have sailed for this port from St. Thomas, Danish West Indies.
 The strike was the result of a de- mand for higher wages, and the strik- CTS have been parading the streets. Some act of violence resulted in the reading of the riot act and the issuing of proclamation by the governor clos ing all the retail spirit shops from o'clock in the evening until 6 o'clock in the morning until further notice. The governor called on all peaceably disposed citizens not to join the gath erings in the streets and so avoid the risk of being killed or injured. He announced that he intended to forcibly suppress all riotous proceedings.
 As the result of the trouble all busi- ness has been suspended.

AFTER STANDARD OIL.
Roosevelt win Back Up Prosecution
 of Trust and Its Allies.

hOOHeVcft VIII BACK Ip PrOsecuNtOm
 of Trust and Its Allies.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Information to the effect that there is strong move ment on foot in Washington, backed by President Roosevelt, to institute fed eral investigation of the Standard oil company and it's allied interests was received by several prominent New York financiers.
 More than a month ago President Roosevelt is said to have expressed a desire that thorough inquiry be made regarding the methods of the great Rockefeller corporation.
 The charges of rebating and whole sale discrimination made by writers in the daily press and in magazines against the Standard oil management as we'll as the representations of pri- vate individuals greatly impressed the president.
 The grounds on which a federal in- vestigation of the Standard oil compa- ny might be prosecuted with full war rant of law are said by certain promi- nent lawyers to be plentiful. It is known, however. that a desperate ef- fort will be made by the Standard oil representatives to prevent an inquiry such as outlined on the ground of lack of authority.

 In the west a similar professional as- sociation was formed in the early sum- mer, and it may be said that it's mem bers have already derived considera- ble benefit because of the step.
 A. c. Barry, the young St. Andrews university student who walked off with the British amateur championship this year, a victory recognized by the critics abroad as deserved, writes of his early days at the game. He says:
 My first try at golf occurred when I was about nine or ten-at least, I had cleek in those days and used to knock the ball about with it. I first began to play seriously in 1898, when I went up to live at St. Andrews. While at school was given every encourage ment to play golf. Under these condi- tions it was hardly surprising that I took very kecnly to the game, and by the end of the year had been round in 9S. I always followed the great play CTS whenever I could, and at school our

 English statesmen. he pointed out. ought to conciliste the good will of the Irish people. who constituted one of the greatest fighting forces in the world and whose sympathy was more valuable than any foreign alliance. In conclusion he asked that the national convention to be held next week de clare its confidence in himself and the Irish parliamentary party.

 At first my putting bothered me more than anything else. At times I putted very we'll. but was very un- steady. and it was quite common oc- carrenee for me to miss six or seven puts of under a yard and a half in the round. This failing used to lose ne lot of matches, and know of no nore annoying way of getting besten. The cause of this eventually turned
