"vErsn GIVE For TEMPERANCE
Record Breaking Contribution for An
III Saloon League Work at Soldiers

VNSSSt0 0I0dNIuS NOUSttOuItOU Tor AVs
ti-Saloon League Work at Soldiers
Home.
The sermons OF the anti saloon
league workers at the soldiers home
chapel Sunday afternoon brought
forth demonstration from an audi
ence Of 200 veterans and members Of
the home which will serve to dispel in
"a large measure the general miscon-
ception regarding the temperance con-
ditions among the membership Of the
home. When the preaching had been
done the audience of old soldiers re-
sponded with a contribution OF $50 for
enforcement of our liquor laws as pro-
posed by the anti-saloon league. This
Tas the largest contribution raised by
any church audience In the city.
\ Drunkenness among members of the
home is generally supposed to be the
rule instead OF the exception for the
reason that a few repeat their offenses
and, being conspicuous down. town in
their uniforms, give the entire MEM
bership bad name when the facts are
that drunkenness among the members
has been reduced from to less than
per cent which is al good a record
as could be shown by any other class
OF men. The record breaking response
OF $3.50 for anti saloon league work is
now pointed to by tht management,as
another evidence that the thirty or
more veterans who do get drunk are
not representative OF the 500 who live
at the home and behave themselves.

BY s to- 3 Waterloo won Sundays
the second game Of the SERIES and by
5 to Z Boyle's team took the opening
game Saturday. In both games Wat
ehoo outplayed the locals. Sundays
game was wretchedly played by Ken
nedy's men, and many in the big crowd
vowed it would take different playing
to bring them out to another game.
It's up to Kennedy to prod up his IN
field if he would hold his patronage.
Misplays, however, really had only 9
small part in losing Sundays game.
Dowell, who was put in by Kennedy in
the opening inning, threw the game
away by his wildness. He passed
three, and Clark's two Dagger did the
rest-a net result of three scores. Gif-
fen succeeded him. He held Waterloo
to four hits, but three Of them, to-
gether with wild throw, were punched
in the sixth inning, resulting in two
scores. Hollenbeck was put up by
Boyle until the locals began finding
him with marked effect, when Bridges
replaced him. Harmon succeeded
Bridges in the last half Of the ninth,
The locals scored one in the sec
ond. and Disch's and Fosters two bag
gers, and a pass to Burg gave the To-
calls two more and tied the score until
WATERLOO took their lead of two in the
sixth.
A red hot finish marked the close,
when the bases were full. Fosters line
hit was pulled down by shour. and a
double play nipped the prospects Of
the home team. Waterloo closes the
series today, and Kennedy's team goes
home with them for three days. The
team returns Friday to open with
Quincy. The score in detail:

Court Orders United Brethren
Church is Not to Be Mo-
Tested By Owner
ENDS CONTROVERSY BY DEGREE
Quarrel Over the Possession and Own
ership Of Logan Township Church
Brought to a Close by Judge Parker,
Who Says 1t Must Not Be Moved -
Will Be Used for Public Gatherings.

The controversy which has split into
factions certain circles of Logan town
ship, arising over the ownership and
possession of what Is known as the
Fairview United Brethren church near
Melbourne, was brought to q close IN
the district court this morning by
Judge Parker. Judge Parker's decree
made the injunction permanent, and
stipulates that the building is not to
be molested or moved away. The de-
cree has the effect Of holding the build
ing for public gatherings, which was
the object sought by the suit.
The case was brought by w. H. Em-
inert against John Campbell, the con-
ference board OF the United Brethren
church, and George Miller, president Of
the board. The claim of Mr.. Emmert
was that in 1885 many Of those who
lived in the. neighborhood, including
himself, contributed over $1,000 for
the purchase of ground and the erec-
ton Of a building, which should be un-
Contrary to this un-
Outstanding, the petition says, the
building was dedicated as a United
Brethren church. AS this denomina-
ton grew SO small in numbers that a
church, no longer existed, the United
Brethren conference sold the building
to John Campbell for 5000. He started
to tear it down to use the lumber in
other buildings, when Emmert brought
suit and temporary injunction was
issued stopping Campbell.
The case was tried in March on the
injunction. The costs In the case,
amounting to 1890, were assessed to
the defendants.

Board of Supervisors Will Make
the Purchase at Present
Meeting
HAVING THE TITLE EXAMINED
If 1t Is Found to Be Without Serious
Flaws It Will Ee Bought for the
County at Once = Fair Grounds
Were Originally Owned BY Henry
Arson.

Before the end OF the June meeting
OF the board Of supervisors, which be-
gan this morning, the county Will
probably own the Finkle park fair
grounds, which will give 1t the dis
tinction of being the only county In
the state being the possessor Of land
bought for county fair purposes The
abstract to the property is In the hands
of the supervisors and Is to be exam
the purchase for $4,000 will follow at
once. The county will pay cash, as a
count OF the money on hand, incidental
to the June meeting, shows the county
has over $4,000 In the various banks
Of the county.
To trace the abstract Of the property
back to Its beginning shows bit of
interesting ancient history. It is per-
haps not generally known that the late
Henry Arson was the first owner Of
the land comprising the present fair
grounds. Such. however, is the case.
Henry Ansou secured the land from
the government by patent on Feb. l.,
1854. He sold to John Childs. who
resold to Ichabod Andrews, who in
turn sold to Reuben III. Webster. Later
1t came into the possession Of Thad-
deus Binford and the late Byron Web
ster, who sold it to the Marshall Coun-
ty Agricultural society in 1870. The
agricultural society became bankrupt
and the fair grounds passed by a sher-
IFS deed to A. e. Shorthill and c.. c.
Gilman in 1889. These owners sold in
1890 to I. S. Finlkle, who has owned
1t ever since.
