MAJORS WANT JOHN CAMEL
Minor Lacquer Gets Offers From Gin
cinnati and Washington.

Cleveland. Sept. 1S.-John Camel,
part owner and playing manager of the
Grand Rapids team in the Central
league, and who appears to have won
the championship of that organization,
has received two flattering offers to
take hold of two major league clubs
this year. The first proposition, which
was turned down, was received from
the Cincinnati for the $4,000 that he
paid the New York American club, and
it is said Garry Hermann made an Of
fer of a three-year contract besides re-
imbursing his league management for
his release.
Camel is now seriously considering
an offer to take hold of the Washington
American league club rendered him by
the management.

In the sporting circles the all-absorb-
ing topic of discussion at the present
time is the comment on tonights box
ing contest at Claus Groth hall. in
which Joe Galligan of Chicago and
Steve Kinney of Milwaukee will figure
as the bright particular stars.
If the talk and views of the hun
dreds of boxing fans count for any
thing, this is going to be a great con-
test. Both Kinney and Galligan are
known as hard and game boxers, and
fast and furious milling is their par
ticular style of sparring. With two
such men matched, the spectators
are bound to witness some lively mix
ing and of the kind that sets them
on the edge of excitement and enthus'
iasm.

10-round contest between Kid Taylor

The feature act of Castellat and Hall,

NJ. Coin running all the way through
it, but it takes such people as Castellat
and Hall to bring it out. Another feat
ure is Williams and Mayer, in high
class singing and dancing. Mr. Viii
liams is a very clever comedian, while
Miss Mayer possesses a phenomenal
baritone voice and sings her songs in
a very pleasing manner Major

ny Norris Jones, blackface comedian,
is certainly funny and had the large
audience in commissions. Walter Poul-
ter sings the illustrated song in his
usual pleasing manner. The kinodrome
shows some entirely new and original
pictures. On the whole. the program
is an excellent one and worthy of pat
ronage.

FROM THE DOPE BOX

Judging by the way the Chicago pa.
pers glOat over the defeat of Syracuse
by the Cubs in an exhibition game yes
terday, the defeat of the National
league leaders by Springfield, must
have been more keenly felt than was
admitted at the time
Dubuque claims to have made
money this season. Though the team
did not draw well at home, where it
was apparently considered pretty
punk, it proved good attraction in
ether cities where it was recognized
as one OF the most formidable aggre-
gat .ons in the league.
Cedar Rapids, with which three
Rock Island players are making a
transforming trip, opens today for a
series at Burlington. The outcome of
the contests will be viewed with in
terest. Each team is the pennant win
ner in its league. and opportunity will
be given to get a line on the relative
pace of the Three-Eye and the Iowa.
Commenting on the close of the sea-
son the Dubuque Telegraph-Herald
quotes the secretary of the associa-
ton at that city as asserting that the
attendance there was more than 3d.
600. which would entitle the city to
a place in the league next year. No
figures. however, are presented. In
the same connection the paper says:
''In the closing of the season memory
of the early season comes back to the
fans and they wonder how an invinci-
BILE club could fall so perceptibly. 1t
was said at the baseball park that
the team must have played off, not
wishing to win the pennant"

HADN'T AUTHORITY
Commission of Swan Creek JUS
tice Expired. but Performed
Marriage.
ADDS TO THE CONFUSION
Phoebe Coons Not Legally Married Be-
fore She Became Mrs. Edward
Swathwood in Rock Island.

Information from Swan Creek, ILL.,,
brings news that adds a new phase
to the tangle in the peculiar case of Mrs.
Phoebe Coons-Beatty-Sw now
ton. 1t appears that the girls mar
riage at Swan Creek to John Beatty
was performed by a Mr.. Lippy, who
had been a justice of the peace. II
appears, though, that Mr.. Lippy'S COM
mission as justice OF the peace had
expired over a month before he per-
formed the marriage, and as a result,
the marriage, being performed by an
unauthorized person, would not make
the girl a bigamist when she was mar
ried here to Edward Swathwood The
question of her guilt as a bigamist
would rest on the point that her mar
riage to Beatty was common law
marriage. and it is the opinion of at
tOrneys who have considered the mat
ter that this could not constitute big
amy.
VIII Not Prosecute
Under the circumstances it is under
stood that Edward SwathwOod and his
family will abandon the idea of prose
cutting the girl on any charge of hav-
ing been married previously. The in
formation from Swan Creek in effect
frees the girl from such a charge.
though it is believed that she did not
know of the expiration of the Justices
commission, and considered the mar
riage legal. The Rock Island young
man is now considering the institution
of divorce proceedings.

of 1.-The Little Homestead" the emo

w. B. Patton, which will be the bill az
the Illinois theater on Sunday, Sept
%. matinee and evening, is laid in
small country village. All of the home

the pretty and thrilling story, lending
the needed touch of realism to a chap
ter taken from life. The interior of
the little homestead itself is a faithful
portrayal of many another home made
dear to memory. The storm scenes of
the New England winter and the biz
card are strikingly realistic. The at
tention which has been paid to details
in mounting the play has added much
TO its charm and has been a internal
factor in its success.

his way and attended the political
convention, and on his return, be-
tween Northfeld and Lakeville, he
found the prairie swarming with
people leaving the country. Upon
arriving at Lakeville great excite
ment prevailed, believing, as the ma
iority of them did, that they were
soon to be overtaken and surrounded
by 10000 Indians. He used every
argument to quiet the fleeing people,
but all to no purpose. He then went
home to see what the state of affairs
were there. After being home two
hours he saddled his horse and started
for St. Peter, picking up what men he
could along the way to that place.
When they arrived at Henderson the
company numbered about seventy
five men, who had joined them. They
found the town almost deserted. Up
on getting. into st. Peter, the place
was little less than packed with people
from various parts of the country.

Strict Censorship of Press Dispatches
From the Caucasus.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 24.-The Asso-
ciated Press learns by mail that the
strictest censorship is now exercised
oyer press dispatches in the Caucasus
to conceal the true state of affairs,
both regarding the true inwardness of
the Tartar-Armenian warfare and the
fermentation among the Russian troops
in the garrisoned towns of Transcau-
casia. The correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press was not permitted to tele-
graph certain items of news and in
other cases the censor would only ac-
cept his dispatches when supported by
the official version of the affairs they
reported.
The Armenian-Tart situation is
worse than is known to the outside
world Almost all the Russian mill
tary units are disaffeeted and even the
Cossacks are rebelling against doing
police duty. The latest mutiny is that
of the Poltava Cossacks, who several
days ago, at Tiflis, formally demanded
to be relieved from police duty and
asked for the discharge of those who
had served over three years. The en-
tire regiment was disarmed and con-
fined in their barracks under guard.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Two hundred TEL

the strike was an order issued by the

which. in order to reach, they were
compelled to go through a passage

that the passageway Is muddy even In

Land Purchase Act Proving Beneficial

Land Purchase Act Proving Beneficial
to Ireland.
New York, Aug 24.-Timethy M.
Healy, member of parliament for
North Louth, Ireland, who has arrived
here en- route to Chicago, said he be-
lieved that within ten years the land
question would be settled for Ireland.
He declared that great improve
ment over former conditions had been
brought about by the operations of the
purchase act, Half of the small farm
ers of Wexford had already acquired
provisional title to their land. The
same condition was true in other coun-
ties. When the bond issue authorized
to sustain the purchase act had been
fioated he expected to see tremen-
dous increase in the number of farm
ers owning their own lands. In the
counties near the large cities few
farmers had been able to acquire land
because of the high price at which it
is held, but he hoped to see the time
when the land in all sections should
be owned by the men who actually
titled it.
The purchase act, however, had not
helped the industrial situation, he

1928, and received his education
at Toronto, then started for himself
in 1856. He lived short time in
Wisconsin, and came to Minnesota in
1856, locating at Belle Plaine, Scott
county, where he engaged in the
mercantile business for a year, after
which he went to Jordan and bought
Touring mill; operated that for five
years, then returned to Belle Plaine
and again resumed mercantile life;
after continuing five years he sold
out and moved to LIE Sueur, where he
purchased Touring mill, which he
ran successfully until 1876.
While living at Belle Plaine he was
appointed postmaster, serving for
three years. He is member of the
Masonic fraternity, having joined
King Hiram Lodge, Ancient, Free and
Accepted Masons, No. 33, at Belle
Plaine; became a charter member of
the lodge when it started in Morris
Golden Sheaf Lodge, No. 1873.
The subject of this sketch was mar
ried in the fall of 1852, while yet in
Canada to Miss Polly Wells, sister
of H. H. Wells, of Morris. To them
! have been born six children, a family
of whom he was justly proud, as fol-
lows:-A. A. Stone, implement dealer
in Morris; Hon. HI. W. Stone, Jr.,
who has for several years taken the
active management of the mill and
the farm; Mary, now Mrs. 0. S.
Hagerman; Ida, wife of W. J. Munro,
of st. Paul; Eudora, wife of E. W.
Randall, of Hamline, and Royal A.
Stone, now assistant attorney general,
of ST. Paul.
Mr.. Stone is survived by his wife
and six children, besides twenty three
grandchildren. His children were all
here last week, but at the time of his
death only Mrs. Hagerman was pres
ent.
The Stone family are members OF
the Congregational church, at Morris,
Mr.. Stone is one of the trustees of that
organization.
AS Indicative Of the qualities of Mr..
Stone, we quote the following from
his biography.
sAt the time of the Indian outbreak
Mr.. Stone had started from his home,
at Jordan, for Owatonna, to attend a
Republican convention. While on his
way he met man who informed him
of the serious Indian trouble, making
him promise not to tell the news to
the settlers for fear they would be
