Honor Among Baseball PLAYERS.

Honor Among Baseball Players.
At the conclusion of Fridays game
the Chicago team of the National
League had three victories to it's credit
and needed another to win the distinct
ion of champion of the world. By win
ming Saturdays game it would end the
contest for the championship. By losing
Saturdays game it would throw over
to Sundays contest settlement of the
issue. In all probability Sunday con-
test would have brought $50, 900 to the
box office. Yet with this temptation
to permit the Detroit team to win by
agreement, thus necessitating Sunday
contest, there was no dishonorable job
bing, no agreement, but clean, straight
sport. Being honest cost the Chicago
and Detroit arrangements $4,000. Yet
they were honest. Would that as much
could be said of the financial pirates
whom we have exalted as the first
citizens of the land, and who frown
down upon the professional player of
baseball as unworthy of respect and
not entitled to equal social standing.
How many of these pirates would have
had conscientious scruples about deal
ing in deception? All too few of thems

SHORT COURSE FOR cREscO.
Preliminary Meeting at Court House Hall
Saturday Afternoon at 2 p. m.

Don't fail to attend the meeting in
the court house hall this Saturday
afternoon, October 10Th. at which time
preliminary arrangements will be
made, and the necessary steps taken,
toward the holding of an Agricultural
Short Course in Cresco this winter.
After much correspondence with the
head of the State Agricultural College
at Ames, the officers of our Farmers
Institute have been promised Short
Course for Cresco provided the neces-
sary arrangements can be made at an
early date. Such is the purpose of the
meeting at 2 p. m. Saturday afternoon
at the court house hall. Hundreds go
to Ames every winter, not alone from
Iowa, but from neighboring states. to
attend the special Short Course held
there. That this work may be extend.
ed and greater number have the
privilege of attending these agricul-
tural schools of instruction, special
Short Courses have been arranged for
in places remote from Ames. Wher-
ever held they are enthusiastic for
them and interest and attendance has
increased from year to year.
A Short Course in Cresco would
bring to our city the best talent from
our State Agricultural College, often
supplemented by government experts
and men of ability from neighboring
states. Such men as DR.. A. B. Storms,
president of our State Agricultural
College; Prof. Holden, the corn ex pert;
Prof. Curtis, dean of Agriculture at
Ames, and many others. A practical
school of instruction in horses, cattle,
sheep, swine, corn, soil, etc. Stock
judging and corn judging are valuable
features of the work. In connection
there will be domestic science course
for the ladies which in other places,
such as Red Oak and Mt. Pleasant,
has been very popular and largely at.
tended.
Let us push the good work along SO
we'll begun by the officers of the
Farmers Institute Every farmer and
his wife in this locality, and every citi-
zen of this place ought to be interested
in the holding of a Short Course in
Crescc, and the meeting on Saturday
afternoon should be largely attended.
1t is good cause, worthy of our
earnest effort, put your shoulder to the
| wheel and assist those who are trying
to establish a Short Course here and
make it a success. Ladies as we'll as
the men will be welcome at this meet

MONTREAL HAS A BIC
STOCK MARKET PANIC
FAILURE TO PAY DIVIDEND OF
DETROIT UNITED RAILWAY
CAUSES DISASTER.
WIDOWS AND ORPHANS
AMONG THE DEPENDENT
Bottom Falls Out of Market at Pass
Ing of Quarterly Dividend-LittIe
of Stock Held in Detroit-Larae
Expenditures Alleged as Cause.

montreal, Oct l6.-The stock mark
ct is in panic today as the result of
the passing of the quarterly dividend
Of the Detroit United Railway.
This stock is very largely held here.
From fifty at the close of the market
Monday to 40 at the opening Tues
da was the first drop, and later on it
dropped to 2S7a.
Toledo dropped to ten and the whole
market was badly affected. A good
sized fraction of the total common
stock is held here, it having been
bought after it had doomed as a safe
dividend Garner. Widows and orphans
in plenty are depending on the divi-
dends of this stock for part of their
sustenance.
Great Excitement Prevails.
The street is full of stories of peo-
pie who have lost heavily by the
slump. There was the greatest ex-
cutement all morning on the stock
exchange.
H. S. Holt, the only Montreal di-
rector of the Detroit United Railway,
denies that he has any intention of
resigning as the result Of the direct
ors' passing the quarterly dividend.
Mr.. Holt was not present at the meet
ing at which this action was taken.
Mr.. Holt is president of the Montreal
Light, Heat and Power Company, is
a director of the Royal Bank of Cana
da, and also is interested in many 9TH
er concerns.
Offer Stocks at Any Price.
For short time after the stock
exchange opened brokers offered
stocks at almost any price they would
bring. Detroit was of course the big
feature of the trading.
Detroit, Mich, Oct 16.-Compara
lively little Detroit United Railway
stock is held in this city, so that the
passing of the dividend had little eff
feet locally. The principal markets
for Detroit United Railway are Mon
treal, Toronto, New York and Cleve
land. No announcement had been
made here that the dividend was to be
passed. President Jere G. Hutchins
left here for New York several days
ago for the quarterly directors meet
ing.
Company Makes Excuse.
New York, Oct. 16-The reason for
the passing of the dividend on the
stock of the Detroit United Railway is
that the company is making large ex-
penditures for improvements but can
not borrow funds for the purpose, they
being forced to pay for such improve
ments out of the earnings.
The Detroit United Railway has a
capital stock of $12,5O0,OOO and a
funded debt of $23,3s7, 00O According
TO its statement for 1906 it's surplus
for that year was $1,160,000.
