Rock Island and Davenport had base
ball teams earlier than 1880. but since
thar time there have been few seasons

organized in this city. In 1882 there
was organized a team known as the
Rock Island Stars. This team lasted
several seasons. the greatest rivalry
being between Rock Island and Mo

Browns, ana tie Two teams attracted
much interest. These were amateur
teams.

 The Chicago Tribune recently print. ed the following anecdote:
 Ten miles from any city, with the members of his cabinet and the silent trees of the forest as the only wit nesses, Wednesday afternoon July 3 Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, on his pended knees prayed for the spiritual welfare of John Hay, the late secretary of state, who was buried at Cleveland.
 ''The presidents train left Cleveland shortly after noon Wednesday July 3, and owing to the great hurry the party did not have time to eat anything at midday. At Wheelock's switch, ten miles south of Cleveland, the train had to lay over some minutes, and Presi. dent Roosevelt asked for luncheon on the grass. Part of the forest had been cleared. and there the cloth was laid Then the members of the party, sitting on the grass, grouped themselves about the cloth.
 President Roosevelt then arose to a kneeling position and asked the AL mighty for his blessing on the repast He spoke simply of the great friend ship that existed between himself and John Hay. and finally he asked Gods mercy for John Hay, as men were all sinners, although John Hay was among the least of these

Uncle Sam Asked by Ex-Confederate
 to Practice Golden Rule.
 The postal authorities recently found a southern postmaster short in his ac- counts in the sum of S3,940, says a Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune. They brought suit against his sureties and after bitter contest obtained judgment for the full amount As a general proposition bondsmen ob- ject seriously to settling up for the loose financial transactions of officials for which they are responsible, and a former Confederate soldier, who may be called Johnson because that is not his name, is no exception to the rule.
 The department informed Mir. John son that a judgment for S3.940 had been obtained against him and sug- gested an immediate settlement. In reply he set up counterclaim for S15.390, asking that the judgment be deducted and the balance sent on to him. He explained that he is now seventy-six years old and that he had been waiting ever since the close of the civil war for the government to square up the account. The duty of Uncle Sam, according to Mir. Johnson. is that he should do as he would be done by, but he expresses the fear, in somewhat vigorous language, that the practice of the Golden Rule is lost art among government officials.
 The following is an exact reproduc. tion of Mir. Johnson's bill against the government:
