you were in the penitentiary several
years for burglary; l don't want to
hear how you nearly beat your father
to death and swindled him out Of his
property. If you came near being
hanged for stealing horses in Indian

murder, | don't care to hear it all
thrashed over at this day. You can
run for clerk if you choose, and if

The opening game of the season
was played on the home grounds in
this city Sunday afternoon, the Dy-
ersville Advertisers and Manchester
being the contestants. A large
crowd gathered at tile base ball park
to cheer the boys to victory. The
home team had little trouble in win
ming. The fellows played an excel
lent game for the first, although a
couple of wild throws, errors and
timely hits nettcd the Manchester
team s scores in the seventh inning.
The Dyersville Cornet Band led the
two teams to the park and rendered
excellent music. Charles Goerdt did
the pitching for the home team, and
had he received good support Man
chester would still be looking for a
run. Five hits were made off him,
they being scattered. He had the
speed and twist. Catcher Jaeger

Franks was on the slab for the Wis

his foot on the step he fired and Lay
fell dead with a load Of buckshot in

The PETITION is PREPARED
And Will Be Presented to Council
Monday Night Saloons Look
to Be Doomed.

Although defeated two years ago
when they made an attempt TO have
Council declare the Fifth ward
residence ward committee OF cltl-
zens from that part of the city has
made arrangements with council
man to present another petition to
the council at its meeting Monday
night. The new petition IS, 1n sub
stance, the same as the one presented
two years ago.
A committee composed of Arthur
Smith. chairman, D. ii. Unthank, DR..
G. M. Hamilton, John Dietz and W..
T.. Russell, has been appointed to
draw up petition and ask the voters
of the ward to ailix to 1t their sig
natures. The committee has been go
ing about its work quietly and, has
succeeded in having a number of the
most prominent citizens of the ward
to sign. 1t is not the purpose to try
to secure the signatures Of all the
voters in the ward as was done last
year, but only a few, and 1T Is
thought that the petition will meet
with as much favor as if there were
affixed the names Of all the voters In
the ward.
Arthur Smith, chairman of the
committee, said that he is hopeful Of
the outcome of the petition, thinking
that the views of many of the coun-
cilmen have changed during the past
two years. The argument that the
shop and factory men are in favor OF
having the Fifth ward residence
district will be introduced.
If council does not recognize the
petition and does not declare the
ward residence ward, remon-
STRANGE will be circulated and pre-
sented to the county commissioners.
This will serve against all applicants
and as the law is mandatory to them
to refuse all licenses applied for, for
period Of two years, it is thought
that the two saloon keepers in the
Fifht ward cannot escape the efforts
of the citizens to drive them out.

appeal of the case to the supreme

ter the reading of the judgment when
City Attorney Gardner fled a bill of
exceptions to the courts ruling and
the case will be taken before that
body at once as the city council has
authorized the city council to take
such an action.

officials who conducted the trade at
that time thought that the land they
secured from Marmon on the east
bank of the river extended east 202

Instead, however, it developed that
the land was only a strip % feet
