KILTIES MAKE A HIT
Band Under Leadership Of Mr.. Albert
Cook Give Pleasing Performance
Every Performer An Artist.

A musical organization of the i'm
portance and renown of the Kilties
must necessarily have for it's leader
man of highest ability. In the person
Of Mr. Albert Cook, the director, this
leader is found. Mr.. Cook is a strik-
ing example of man who not only
knows music but can impart to those
under him his ideas Of how compost
tons should be played. In the Kilties,
Canadas remarkable band, which had
visited seven countries and is now on
it's fifteenth tour Mr.. Cook has most
sympathetic material. and with 1T he
achieves results that take his hearers
by storm.
Nothing but praise Is ever heard for
the band, because every man in it is an
artist, individually working for the
success Of the whole; and under the
direction of MASTER they could not
help achieving that success.
The Kilties appear again in this city
tomorrow afternoon and evening at
Finkle's park. Admission rs GEMS to
grounds and 10 cents to amphitheater.

BY the score Of to 0 Kennedy's
men won yesterday from Waterloo
Held down to one single by Kent the
leaders were unable to score, while
Boyle used two pitchers against the
visitors in a vain effort to stave off
defeat. Jacksonville also won, and
still sticks In third place The only
real advantage gained by Yesterdays
game was that both Waterloo and Bur
lington were pulled down one game.
Kennedy secured catcher in Burns.
Who Burns is is not known here. but
he got four hits in the game, which is
enough to stamp him as a desirable ad-
dition.
Casper started to pitch for Water
loo but was hit 80 freely that Boyle
took him out after the second inning
and put in Swain, who was also hit
hard. In addition to Marshalltowns
hitting, Magee, who played short stop
for Waterloo, made two bad errors,
both Of which were costly.
Kent pitched one of the best games
OF the season, and altho the number Of
his strike-ou was few, he held the
hits to minimum. He also proved
steady and his support was Of the
very best. Only one error was made,

Neighbors RON over
Kennedy's Goat Vim.

W. Goat, bearded and with a weak
ness for his neighbours cabbage, the
property of John Kennedy, Of South
Fifth street, which sprang suddenly
into renown by reason of recent pa
troll ride, has again butted into the
limelight, altho this time the rays shed
on the goat are reflected ones.
1t all came about because of the
feast of cabbage, the ride in the patrol
and the retirement in the city pound.
Following the capture of the goat
while feasting on the lucious young cab
bage of the William Hay home, and
his confinement in the pound, Kennedy,
the owner Of the goat, had Hay ar
rested for stealing the goat. The case
never came to trial, because Kennedy
failed to appear, and Hay was dis
charged. The humiliation of the fam
lily pet, however, caused a wound in
the bosom of the Kennedys, and last
night Kennedy and Hay and the lat
ter's son, Melvin Hay, met. Just what
followed is hard to determine, but bad
language is said to have been used I'M
shocked. the police were summoned
and Kennedy was arrested, and re-
manned in Jail over night. This morn
ing he was hailed into Justice Millard's
court to answer a charge Of using OBJ
scene language. He pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to fifteen days in
Jail, but the sentence was suspended
during good behavior.
This morning all was quiet in the
neighborhood w. Goat is pursuing the

Council Decides to Install High Wa

The city council Monday night voted
to purchase five high iron watering

permit their animals to drink without

many a poor horse would go without
water if the drivers had to go to the
trouble of getting out. The new
troughs will be placed at Center and
State, First avenue and State
and market place, South Center street,
and Market and Third avenue. One OF

Devine Argues tor Reduction.
Chairman Devine argued at length
for the further reduction of one-half
mill on electric lights, and produced
figures to show that the electric light
committee had now nearly $1,000 in
its fund, after having made expensive
OUTLAWS last year that would not be
necessary this year. Two and one-half
mills yield each year about $4,000. Two
mills will bring something like $4,000,
and this the ways and means commit
tee believed would be sufficient.
Chairman Clark, of the electric light
committee, thought that surplus
should be provided in his department
as rapidly as was possible, to meet
emergencies that We're likely to result
at any time Wires were already in
bad shape, and many were without in
sulation.
Mayor Ingledue called attention to
the fact that the plant was constantly
depreciating in value, and he put the
estimate at 10 per cent each year. If
the city did not provide some means
to overcome the depreciation the city
in ten years time would he without a
plant.
The library trustees asked for 2
mill levy, as usual, but the committee
believed that slight reduction could
be made here and still provide the Ii
brary with ample funds.
Will Take Up Improvement Warrants.
Another resolution by Chairman De-
vine, of the ways and means commit
tee, authorized the city treasurer to
take up outstanding warrants in the
Improvement fund to the extent of the
now available cash on hand in this
fund. and as fast as the money accu-
mulates until the warrants are paid.
