About Pitcher Noe.

Fred Noe is very much wanted
man. Not for any crime he has COM
mitted. but because OF the fact he is a
conner in baseball circles. Last sea
son he made his appearance as pitch
er on the kewanee team. and probably
proved to be the real find of that city.
He worked in several games. and won
only a very limited number. He pitch
ed good ball but lost. apparently hay
ing a hoodoo. At the meeting in keo-
kuk the management had chances to
trade him for other men and it may be
that some of the oeffrs will bring re-
suits. There is nothing phenomenal
about Noe. but he dra attention
much like magnet does steel 1t is
stated that Manager Belt offered to
swap outfields Wilson and Behring-
er, second baseman Roland. Pitcher
Carroll for him: that Manager Boyle
Offered third baseman Pennington. and
Ned Egan offered Pitcher Els, outfield-
err Holstrom and catcher Bruggeman.
The offer from Belt is said to have
been turned on the theory that none
lof the men offered would strengthen
1.-THE Boilermakers. The other trades
are still being considered. Kewanee
needs a laird baseman 10 take the
place OF Crandall. who has refused to
play with them another season and is
owned b. Cedar Rapids. It may be
that Manager Boyle's offer will appeal
TO them. Pennington is a good add
ton to any team. He is not al ex
pertinent, but q stead yplayer and one
of the best stealers in the league. Il
Noe should not develop or fall TO ex
perience change of luck trade FOL
Pennington would be a lucky one FOL
kewanee. The chances are on the
part of Waterloo in parting with a mar
of known quantity for ore Yet to SLOW
strength.

SITTING Bull a Ere bootsr.

For such Sitting Bull was among
the Indians freebooter. not of any
line of chiefs. who distributed the
spells of his cattle raids and attacks
on isloated white settlement with a
free hand among the members OF his
tribe. Through the resulting friend
ship he rose into power and was given
a leadership which later developed
into the concentration of government
forces about him and mis- ignominious
death on the Grand river.

Leaves Remains undis.urbed.

For the body of Sitting Bull four re-
quests had been made. One by the
own tribesmen of Sitting Bull, one by
the Smithsonian institution at Wash
ington. D. c.. two by the historical So
cieties of the state of South Dakota,
where the old warrior was killed, and
of the state OF North Dakota. request
ing that the bones of the warrior be
left where they were. The government
did what best it could do, and the
bones of Sitting Bull remain undis-
turbed where he Was buried eighteen
years ago.
Above tie lonely ;rave of Sitting
Bull there rises a lofty tower forty
feet in height, surmounted by a water
tank much like those railroad affairs
which civilization has introduced into
the once Indian ravaged plains OF the
west. This tank was erected some
time ago on this commanding emin-
ence to furnish water under 300foot
pressure TO the pots about a quarter
of mile below.
The post new consists of about tif-
teen men who conduct the government
industrial schools of the reservation
of which Standing Rock Agenc. is the
head and endeavor to inspirt in the
savage breasts of indolent redskins
the way to live without plumber and
rapine that characterized the history
OF their buried leader.

Fire Department, Yves. Union.

At a recent fire in West Union a
hunting contest was in progress and
the fire horses were being used by
the chief in the hunt, necessitating
the finding of another team when a
fire alarm was turned in. After reach
ing the scene it was found that some
one had borrowed the hydrant wrench.
BY the time a:-other was found the
building was burned up.
The above is bad one Oh fire
department but it can be said and has
been reported to the Prevention asso
citation that heokuk has a department
with but few equals and no superiors
in the state of Iowa. Keokuk can
well be proud of this, but 1t is I'M
doubte1ly true that many stores and
establishments are subject to the
criticisms above set out. A thorough
inspection OF the city will soon be
made and where defects are not
cured. they will be published.

From New Mexico comes the state
ment that the two fetching blondes
are adventuresses. 1t is charged that
they passed two weeks riding up and
down on that division of the Santa
Fe enriching themselves from the gen
ercsity of trainmemn. Miss Holly
laughed when informed of this charge
and replied that all the trainmen on
the Albuquerque division are piqued
because they preferred the brake
beams to the cabccse.

TRAIN LOSES ITS WAY.
Switched on Wrong Track and Has
Terrific Race for Safety.

Paris.-A passenger train on the
Northern of France line literally lost
its way the other night and had a
narrow escape from being telescoped
by an express which was behind it.
The train left for Amiens at p. M.
All went well until after leaving Creil.
where the line to Brussels and Ger
many and Holland branches of. Ow.
ing to mistake of the signalman' s,
which yet remains unexplained, the
Amiens train was switched onto the
Brussels line, and, in the dark the en-
CINE driver did not discover the mis-
take until the train had proceeded a
mile or two on tie line to Brussels.
Then, remembering that the Brus-
sells express vas only few minutes
behind him, the driver decided to put
on full speed and go right ahead. 1t
was an exciting experience for every
body. The passengers, finding that
the train was travelling at full speed
and running through the stations, be-
came alarmed and pulled the danger
signal.
The train ran on to the junction at
Pont ST. Maxence, where the driver
hurriedly explained the matter to the
signalman, and was shunted onto a
siding two minutes before the arrival
of the express. At last the train was
sent back to Creil and resumed its
journey to Amiens couple OF hours
late.
