Something Of the Situation in the
Base Ball Central Association
at the Present
Time.
EGAN IN "A BIG TRADE
Would Like to Dispose Of Three Of
His Best Players for kewanee
Pitcher, Catcher and
OutfieIder.

While there Is general quietude
prevalent throughout the Central AS
ISOLATION at the present time, never
theless, there is more to absorb the
attention of fans, managers, and mag
mates right now than has been the
case in years preceding. This spirit
of unrest Is doubtlessly greatly
strengthened by the fact that de-
cision is soon to be reached as to what
town will take up the franchise of
Oskaloosa. While this seems trivial
matter to the majority of the fans, 1t
is one of great weight with the league
and the success of the league in the
future might possibly depend upon the
selection.
second matter of interest is the
selection of president to succ Aed M.
E. Justice, who it is thought will hold
firmly to his present inclination.
Managers throughout the circuit are
buster than ever before and many
trades will be made in the near future
which will greatly change the p erson-
mel of many of the teams next season.
Keokuk base ball directors are very
quiet at the present time and turning
the greater part of their attention to
the league meeting to be held in Keo-
kuk about the 20th of November.

DoDGlNG THE SPEAKER.
Ono of the First Cases Of FiIibusterir
In Congress.

one of the first instances of filibuS.
tering occurred In 1905 Just after tho
impeachment trial of the Hon. Samuel
Chase. one of the associate justices OF
the supreme court. A quarrel arose
over the payment of witnesses. The
house OF representatives would pass ne
bill which provided for the payment
OF those summoned by Chase. The
senate would pass no bill which did
not and conference followed Each
refused to yield. ard the bill was lost.
John Randolph then attempted IN
the closing hours of the session TIC
have the witnesses for the managers
of the trial paid out OF the contingent
fund of the house But the Federalists
were ready They hurried from the
room, and when the vote was taken
the speaker announced no quorum.
Members were thereupon summone4
from the lobby and committee rooms.
Hardly were they in their seats wheH
a message from the president was an.
nounced. and while the clerk was read
ing 1t the Federalists again left ths
room, SO that when the resolution was
second time called up there was
again no quorum. Once more the ser.
geant at arms went into the lobby
and once more the members came III
But an enrolled bill was reported and
while the speaker was signing it the
Federalists third time slipped out
The announcement of no quorum which
followed was greeted with shouts Of
laughter Randolph in a great passion
desisted, and late on the evening OF
Sunday. March g. 1905. the Eighth
congress ended-Baltimor American.

The tombstones were enclosed in a
wooden crate and upon the tombstone
was an inscription containing the
name of the deceased, the date of his
death and his age, also, If he was a

Euan After a Trade

Manager E. F. Egan OF The R,lrling-
ton base ball club constantly hps his
eyes open and is looking for new play
ers and new trades 1t was thought
for time that Belt was going TO trade
Lennon for Cosgrove and Egan is 70
doubt sorely disappointed in learning
that the Keokuk catcher has been
traded for Gordrick of Green Bay. The
latest deal Egan has on the string is
the trading of Pitcher Ed Els, Catch
er Frank Bruggeman, and utility man
Holstrom to Kewanee for Pitcher Noe,
Catcher Elliott and Outfielder John
son. Pitcher Noe Is the Kewanee
twirler who gained the name of 1.-THE
hoodoo pitcher and although he
pitched excellent ball had hard luck
throughout. Elliott is a good catcher
and Johnson a steady outfielder who
should have a good year. Pitcher
Els and Catcher Bruggeman need a
change of air and Holstrom Is a pos
sibility.
Quincy still seems hopeful of land
Ing a place in the Three-I league.
They figure that Cedar Rapids is due
for a discard, but this is doubtful.
Quincy should give up the idea of
breaking away from the Central asso-
citation as the league is a good thing
for them and the town is good for the
league.

Insec,. Notes.

The slow Tapping of butterfy's
wing produces no sound. When the
movements are rapid, noise is pro
duced which increases with the num-
Der Of vibrations. Thus the house fly
which produces the sound Of f, Vt
brates its wings 81, 100 times minute.
or 1876 times second, and the bee
which makes sound Of A. as many as
26,40O times. or 40 times a second. A
tired bee huns on e and therefore, ac-
cording to theory vibrates Its wings
only $50 times second.
