DIDN'T FORGET THE SPEAKER
Uncle Joe Cannon Condemned by Gen.
trial Illinois Methodists.

The central Illinois Methodist
conference before adjourning at
Canton yesterday adopted resolu-
tons by unanimous vote condemning
Speaker Cannon in the following
terms:
I'VE deplore and condemn the Gus
tom that gives speakers of Legislative
bodies the power to control legisla
ton. The conduct of Joseph G. Can
lon, speaker of the housee, in refus-
ing TO allow vote on the Littlefield
bill is worthy of universal condemna-
ion, and we suggest that such politi-
cians who lack the elements of states
nanship be returned to private life.
We urge upon the people the use OF
all lawful means in securing the de
feat of Mr.. Cannon as speaker of the
house of representatives"
The proposition to transfer Erie
from the central Illinois to the Rock

SCARCELY A CLOUD AND
BUT A TRACE OF RAIN
Last Week Most Remarkable One
Weather Data from Over
Illinois Shows.

The week ending Monday, Septem-
Der IA, was of unusual aridity for the
season. The mean temperature was
nearly degrees above the normal,
and maximum temperatures of 80 de-
grees and more, obtained on four con-
secutive days, in most sections. There
was almost uninterrupted sunshine,
the percentage of bright sunshine for
the state being about 95. The temper
ature extremes were 80 and As de-
grees.
No rainfall was reported anywhere
in the state, except a trace at LaSalle,
and .01 inch at Chicago. The lack of
moisture has caused damage in all sec
lions, but the most serious injury has
occurred in the southern tier of coun-
ties.

HAS BEENS READY
Alumni Team to Play High
School Football Warriors
is Getting in Shape.
ARE ALL FORMER STARS
Is Best Squad of Graduates in Field
in Years-Contest is Scheduled
for Sept. &c.

A number of the members of the
high school alumni football team met
last evening at the Y. NJ. G.. A. and
discussed the game which is to be
played Sept. &c with the regular high
school team. 1t was decided at the
meeting to hold three nights of signal
practice before meeting the high
school on the field of battle. The
three nights will be Monday Wednes-
day and Friday of next week. The
high school gymnasium will be used
for the practice. The time will be
spent in rehearsing forward passes and
other intricate plays with which to
surprise the high school boys.
Good Men on Team.
The lineup of the old timers is prac-
tically settled with the exception of
two or three places in the line. The
team is easily the strongest the alum
nj has ever gathered together and the
high school will have its hands full in
disposing of the hasbeens. Ralph
Souders, Ralph MacManus. Herman
Heimbeck and Arthur Harms will
make up the back field with Fay Tay-
lor as a substitute. Henry Kinner
and Earl Fraser will play on the ends
of the line. and Edward Strate and
Blaine Morrison will play tackle. The
guards and center have not yet been
selected but John Schneider will hold
down one of the positions and there
are several candidates for the other
positions. Nearly all the players were
stars in their days AMI if they were
able to put in few weeks practice
they would undoubtedly trim their
younger opponents by a good sized
score. AS it is, however, the training
of the regulars will count considerably
and close and exciting game is pre-
dicted with the odds about even.
Other Contests Arranged.
Victor C. Hall, coach OF the team
for the last two years, has been Sc
cured to act as referee. The other
officials will be chosen later The
game will be played at the Island City
ball park. This contest will open the
season for the high school and after
that they will play game almost
every Saturday up until the close OF
the season Sterling has been secured
for the Saturday following the alumni
game. Clinton will be brought down
here Thanksgiving this year for ths
closing game of the season.
