TO OPEN A GALLON HOUSE
Rock Island Men in New Phase OF
Geneseo Liquor Question.

In spite of the fact that the saloons
of Geneseo are closed. there is to be a
liquor store opened up in the near fu-
ture. Rock Island man has rented
building and will conduct a whole
sale liquor business under the state
license and laws. There will be no
liquor sold over the bar or for con-
sumption in the building Whisky can
not be sold in less than gallon lots,
and beer must be in lots of more than
four gallons each. Ii is said such a
course may be pursued in spite of the
fact that Geneseo is dry town. The
opening of such a liquor house will
probably awaken the temperance ele-
ment to still greater activity.

the ladies. who will doubtless supply
any want occasioned by the bad
craftsmanship of the hunters.

Receiver Asked For to Wind
Up the Affairs of the
League.

A suit was filed Tuesday morning
by John Feland, as one of the stock
holders of the Hopkinsville Baseball
association, agains the Kentucky
Illiuois-T ennessee league and its
officers, Brown, Greaney and Cos
nell, for 81, 500 damages for the ac-
ton of the officials in taking Hop
kinsville out of the circuit without
fault or without representation at
the meeting July 9.
The petition cites at length the ex-
pense incurred and trouble under
gone by Hopkinsville in getting to-
gether a team, and further calls at
tention to the fact that the city had
met every obligation. 1t is further
charged in the petition that the
league is virtually on the edge of
disruption and the court is asked to
take charge and make disposition of
its affairs. AS soon as a process can
be served the court will be asked to
appoint receiver for the league so
that its affairs may be finally closed.
The officers recently rendered the
association $213 in full settlement of
the amount due from the guaranty
fund, which tender was declined, as
it was less than the amount depos-
tied.
