Sharp had been in poor health for
about four years following q stroke of
paralysis. About three weeks ago she
suffered two slight strokes, and neurl-
tbs and gangrene followed, which
caused her death.
Mrs. Mary A. Kersey- Sharp was the
daughter Of Mr. and Mrs. Carter Kerr
sey, and was born in Warren county,
Ohio July %, 1S47. With her parents
she came to Iowa in 1856, the family
settling near Bangor. In 1867 Mrs.
Sharp moved to this city and on March
II, 1872, she was married to Mr..
Sharp. Mr. and Mrs. Sharp have lived
in this city most of the time since.
Mrs. Sharp is survived by her aged

series to be played between Burlington
and the Cedar Rapids club, il it takes
the Three-I League pennant, and the
winner of this series to play the Des
Moines team, if in turn 1t takes the
Western League flag, for the cham
pionship of the state. The games VIII
be divided up between the three towns,
whose teams take part in the mover
championship race, and will undoupt-
eddy prove of much interest to the fans
of all three circuits. Mr.. Egan has no
doubt that his idea will be accepted by
the representatives of the two other
leagues, altho he has had no official
negotiations, as yet, regarding the
matter.
Regarding the Iowa League pen-
nant, Mr.. Egan thinks that Fort Dodge,
now that it plays the greater part OF
the remainder of the season away from
its home town. is quite out of the race.
and its place will be taken by Oska-
loosa. which. in Mr.. Ee,an's estimation.
is the only serious competitor left for
Burlington. The leaders of the Path
finders considers his team in the best
condition of the season"

RECONSTRUCTED; NOT PATCHED

Foundation is to be Taken Up and an
Aephaltic Base Will be Put Under
sufaoins-Work is to Commence
Soon-Local News.

The South Third avenue paving.
which has never been what IL should
have been, is not TO be repaired, but Is
to be reconstructed Such is the state
ment made by James K. Mcclure, 4
representative from the Barber As
phalt Company's general offices in New
York, to Mayor o. l.. Ingledue. Thurs
day, when Mr.. Mcguire was here for
the purpose of looking over the paving
on that street. Mr.. Mcguire assured
the mayor that the work, when begun,
would be done thoroughly, and 1t
would be started just as soon as pos
sible.
Mr.. Mcclure, in speaking Of the paw
ing, said it was not put down properly
originally, and that the surfacing
would not wear because it did not have
the proper foundation under it. The
reconstruction he referred to, he said,
meant new asphalt foundation to do
which 1t would be necessary to tear
up part, if not all. of the macadam
foundation.
Mr.. MCGUIRE and Mr.. Sheldon. the
latter the company's representative in
Kansas City, stopped in the city while
on their way from Kansas City to
Waterloo for the purpose of looking
over the paving. They went tc Wa
terloo to confer with Mr.. j. H Kill,
mar. of Des Moines, the company's
western agent, regarding the work
here, and also at Waterloo, where there
is also paving difficulty. Before leav-
ing, Mr.. Mcclure said that the work
would be commenced at the earliest
possible moment.
Mr.. McGuire's statement is given
weight by the fact that the barber
Asphalt Company applied to local
building material dealer for price on
700 barrels of cement, to pc delivered
here. The cement could only be- used
in such quantities for one thing, and
that would be concrete foundation.
Time Is Extended.
Mayor Ingledue received from Read
e. Read. Of Des Moines, the Barber
Asphalt Company's Iowa attorneys, an
extension of time on the limit set for
the contract for settlement of the paw
ing difficulty, which must be- sigr,eo
by property owners having asphalt
paving in front of their property. The
last extension was until July 1S, but
twenty more days is given which ex-
tends the time to August Z. In. the,
meantime Mayor Ingledue has two men
out canvassing the paving owners in
an effort to get as many signatures as
possible.

According to the following taken
from the Burlington Hawkeye, there
seems to be no doubt in Manager

Iowa State League pennant. After
capturing that, Mr.. Egan is planning
for a series of games with Cedar Rap
ids and Des Moines. the probable vim
ners of the "Three-P' and Western
League pennants. The Hawkeye says:

Pathfinders will win the Iowa league
pennant this season. is making ar
rangements to play all Iowa cham
pionship series this fall. which viii I'M
doubtedly be one of the most unique
of its kind ever played. The probabili-
ties are that pennant winners IN the
Three-I and Western leagues VIII be
drawn from Iowa members of the cir
