at Corning, la.
Creston, Ia, June 4.-Daniel Ritchey,
aged 80 years, is dead at Corning. He
was a veteran of the Black Hawk war.
He kept a hotel in Adams county In
1855, and when John Brown and Jim
Lane were running slaves north into
Canada, his hostelry was a rendezvous
for them. He was also Mason, and
perhaps the oldest one in the state
at the time of his death.

New York, June 4.-Emergency
measures fo- the relief of hundreds of
pupils in East side schools who have
been found to be suffering from lack
of food have been adopted by the
committee OF East side school board
members, organized as a result Of the
serious conditions which the reports
Of school principals In the section re-
vealed.
At a conference late Wednesday the
committee decided to arrange for the
speedy opening of two kitchens on the
lower East side at which the hungry
children may be fed. While the funds
for the support of these kitchens have
been supplied only I'M part, the public
has been so stirred by the disclosures
Of the pitiable plight of children faint
ing at their desks from want of suf-
ficient nourishment that the commit
tee anticipates no trouble in obtaining
by subscription all the money needed
for the purpose.

East side families as the result Of the
business depression. Not only have

1t has been computed that the TEN.
perature of the surface Of the sun
would be expressed by $4,000 degrees of
Fahrenheit's thermometer, or between
eighty and ninety times the tempera-
ture of boiling water This is about five
times the highest temperature that man
is able to produce by artificial means.
The light given off from the surface of
the sun is reckOned as being $500 times
more intense than that Of the molten
metal In Bessemer converter, though
that is Of an almost binding brilliancy.
If we compare 1t with oxhydrogen

DR.. Awdrey and Miss Dalrymple were
the first to arrive; they came together
Awdrey with a bright and cheerful smile
on his face, and perfectly calm Miss Dal-

staunch and true for all that.

put the list of questions in his hand,

Mr.. Bax puffed and gasped, bowling to one
and then the other with solemnity; Mrs.
Yeames passed to her seat, after a low
obeisance to Sir Roland, without recog-
nizing DR.. Awdrey and Miss Dalrymple,
except by drawing down her lips and con-
tracing her nostrils as she might in pass

As the clock struck three Mrs. Bates,

and met my gaze with look of detection.
She was evidently disappointed that

adverse opinion.

offers a strong bill for the present

weeks will besides the regular ser

be brought down from the upper river

down are not nearly so large and
good as they were several years ago
and would have been overlooked then
by lumbermen.
The saw mill of the Taber Lumber
co. opened up on Saturday with a
large force of men who will be en-
ployed during the winter in saving up
the logs and getting them ready for
market. After they are taken from
the river up the chute and into the
huge saws in the mill they will be cut

Baseball prospects for 1909 in Cedar
Rapids have been knocked in the
head by the action taken by the direc-
tors of the Three-Eye club of that
city to sell the franchise and players.
This may mean that a new set of
stockholders will take over the fran
chise and players and the game go
on as merrily as ever, but this is be-
lleyed will not be the outcome The
Cedar Rapids Republican in comment
ing on the meeting in that city, says:
The death knell base ball in
Cedar Rapids was sounded last even
ing when the stockholders of the Ce-
dar Rapids Base Ball club voted TO
quit and sell the team. 1t is posi-
bic that some new club of directors
may be organized to take over the
team, but it is not likely
"The decision to sell the team was
primarily the result OF the poor at
tendance, especially during the past
season Perhaps the fans are grow
ing tired of base ball. At all events
the support was not nearly what it
ought to have been and the old time
base ball enthusiasm seemed to have
died out. There was a considerable
financial loss. And this was not true
of the past season only Cedar Rapids
has had league base ball for eight
years. During those eight year Bel
den Hill has sold s1O,500 of players.
Yet the directors have had to put up
$4,000 out of their own pockets
Which means that there has been
paid out for base ball in the eight
years $12,500 more than the aggre-
gate amount of the gate receipts. But
for Manager Hills success in develop
ing and selling ball players the end,
of course, would have come long ago.
The members of the club are sorry.
ney have been putting up a hundred
dollars apiece year after year so that
the city should have clean, gentleman

not be wiped off the sporting map.
They are true fans and they have done

of Cedar Rapids to the front They

The team has finished in the first di-
vision in the majority of years and
every year in its personnel and it's
work has been a credit to the city. 1t
is a matter of sincere regret that the
support was not such as to warrant
the stockholders of the club in keep.
ing up the team any longer But they
can hardly be expected to continue
making up losses year after year
when they do not have even moral
support. And so the end of base ball
in Cedar Rapids has come, just as
the end of racing il Cedar Rapids
came year ago.
"Of course, if new set of stock
holders desires to purchase the team
and go ahead next season, the pres
ent stockholders will be glad. Other
wise the team will be sold to outside
parties"
