DIAMOND DUST
HAS SETTLED
Louis sterne, Treasurer Of the
Base Ball Association, Makes
His Report For the
Season.
A SUCCESSFUL SEASON
In the Following Article the
Work Accomplished During
the Year Is
Noted.
\ SUCCESSFUL SEASON

A financial report made by Treas
urer Louis Sterne of the Keokuk Base
Ball association for the season just
ended will give the fans of Keokuk a
clear insight into the cost of conduct
ing base ball team, and also the
patronage the game enjoyed in this
city during the five months that the
national game provided a departure
for the business men, young people,
and for the fair sex of the city.
The report shows that the old debt
was between 5000 and $1,000. On this
debt about $3.50 has been disposed Of
by payment, and the association has
a total of s525 coming back from the
Central association.
In 1907 after the close of the sea-
son it was found that the finances had
been materially helped by the sale of
players amounting to $1,000. But the
season of 1908 finds no such condition
prevalent, and although the directors
would gladly receive $1,000 or there
about for players, the fans seem salts.
fed to retain the old players and have
pennant winners or team that Is
certain to finish second or third Again
next season it will not be necessary
to bring to the city number of Green
men to work out and tie expense will
be greatly diminished.

Bills Of 1908 Paid,

One gratifying thing In regard to the
important subject of finances of the
baseball association is the fact that all
the bills contracted during 1908 have
been paid in full. Also the bill for re-
pairs to the grand stand amounting to
5000 has been paid.
The money received for players
amounted to 5000, which was the sale
of Boyd to Burlington, Whine the asso.
citation paid $500 for players received
during the season.
Contributions for the maintenance
of baseball team in Keokuk have
come from people in all walks of life.
The clergy, clerks, employees in fac
tories, bankers business men, profess
sional men, men of trades, and the la
dies have all withstood their share in
the expenses Of the team and have sup
ported the game while at home. The
ladies are also to be thanked for the
interest they have taken and for their
earnest support and generous patron

HAVE THIS OVER WITH
Diapepsin Rids You Of Stomach Trou-
BILE and Makes You Feel Fine
Start Now and Have This Mis-
cry Over With Forever
Gives Relief in About
Five Minutes.

AS there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack of indi-
gestion or some form of stomach
trouble, why don't you keep a case of
Diapepsin in the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort. and regulate
sour stomach five minutes after.
Tell your pharmacist to let you read
the formula plainly printed on these
50-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will readily see why they

burn and prevent at once such miser-
les as belching of gas. eructations of
sour undigested food, nausea. head
aches, dizziness, constipation and 9th
err stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to
find relief from indigestion with the
common everyday cures advertised
that they have about made up their
minds that they have something else
wrong, or believe theirs is case of
nervousness, gastritis, catarrh of the
stomach or cancer.
This is a serious mistake. Your
real trouble is. what you eat does not
digest; instead, 1t ferments and sours,
turns to acid, gas and stomach poison,
which will putrefy in the entire di
gestive tract and intestines. and, be-
sides, poison the breath with nauseous
odors.
A hearty appetite, with thorough d.
gestion and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery of the stomach, is
waiting for you as soon as you decide
to try Pape's Diapepsin.
One candy-like Triangule, taken af
ter eating, will promptly digest ali,
your food, the same as a strong,
healthy stomach would do it.

CHALLENGE from Peoria.

At the meeting last evening a letter
from the rolytechnical Institute of
Peoria challenging the local students
to a game of foot ball at that place
this Saturday was read and while the
students may be able later in the sea,
son of giving the Peoria collegians a
game it is not thought possible that
they will play this Saturday as the
team has not yet been organized.
Should enough material come out
for practice on the students team a
number of good games may be played
and the High school boys may have a
chance of meeting the medics in a
practice game.
All of the students turned out at
the meeting this afternoon and what
was done in the way of organizing a
foot ball team and conducting an ath-
letic association will be made known
in later issue.

IN JAIL FOR
KISSING WIFE
Ignorant of Connecticut Blue Laws
Dennis Burns is Arrested and
Fined Twenty-Five Dollars.

WATERBURY, Conn, Oct. 15.-In-
voking an old blue law ny which it is
a crime for man to kiss his wife in
public on the Sabbath, Dennis Burns
was arrested at Naugetuck and spent
the night in the lookup.
Dennis and Mrs. Burns who live in
Bridgeport, were passengers late last
night in a trolley car running between
that city and Waterbury. He hugged
and kissed his wife regardless of the
other passengers, and when there were
grunts and shifts of disapproval from
caresses upon Mrs. Burns more gener.
ously than ever
Appeals to the conductor and hints
from that frnctionary' to Dennis to
modify his affections We're of no avail.
He simply laughed and gave Mrs.
Burns some more kisses.
IL Then one ofahe passengers, a resi-
dent of Naugatuck and familiar with
the blue laws of that ancient town. had
the car stopped Wien the main street
was reached. A policeman was sum-
moned and the indignant Dennis was
hustled away to the lookup
In court this morning Judge Hun
gerford did mt care to entertain the
charge of wife kissing on the Sab
BATH but poor Dennis did not escape
The modern charge of disorderly con
duct was made against him and he
was fined enough with the costs to
make a total of nearly $40. Burns
justified his conduct saying:

Indoor Base Ball.

It is the purpose of the students to
organize an indoor base hall team and
enter into the indoor league at the y.

There is excellent material among
the students of the Keokuk Medical
college this year to have both a good
foot ball team and indoor base ball
team, although the students would
have no chance of organizing of an
out door base ball team next spring on
account of leaving too early in the
season.
