DES MONIES GAVE
$4,000 TO FUND
Residents of Iowa Capital Contribute
Literally Toward the Augustana
Jubilee Endowment.

DR.. c. E. Lindberg, acting president
of Augustana college, received word
today from Rev. Theodore Ekblad, COL
lege treasurer, who is travelling in the
interest of the jubilee fund in Iowa,
that he had just completed the can
vass of Des Moines and in that city
raised $4,000, which is regarded as a
very good showing, in view of the fact
that the Iowa capital supports two col
leges located in the city. Dr. Gustav
Andreen and Professor Andrew Kemp
are now working in Ottumwa, Iowa, and
are meeting with great success. The
Iowa conference promised $4,000 to-
ward the fund, and this amount is al
most realized and will be complete
very shortly. From Iowa the workers
will go to Illinois, the conference Of
this state having promised 100000.
The first number on the lyceum
course will be given in the college au-
ditorium Friday, Oct. 16, when George
Vending will lecture on Unseen
Realities" Tickets for the course of
five numbers will be on sale and placed
for reservation at the college phar-
macy tomorrow.

On account of the many students of

PRICE OF BUTTER IS FIXED AS
HIGH AS TRADE WILL STAND

The manner in which the price of
dairy products-such as butter-is es-
|tablished has undoubtedly been in the
thoughts of many people, yet compare
lively few know the process by which
it is done.
Dairy boards east and west have
been used in doing this. 1t is general
rule of all dairy boards that. the price
at which the greatest number of pack
ages are sold establishes a ruling
price" In the east both cheese and
butter are sold at the same board, but
in the west it is different, because of
the butter trust" which have their
innings at Elgin, where three men, ap-
pointed by the trust, are supposed to
meet every Monday and elk the price
Of butter.
No butter is offered for sale-none
sold-yet they say the price is firm at
such and such price. If the trade
takes their make of butter at their
price readily, up goes the price. If
trade is slack they moderate their de-
mands on the pocketbooks of the peo-
pie, and the price is reduced until the
people buy, thus always keeping the
price as high as possible and the goods
moving. The "Elgin" people probably
rule the price of more pounds of but
ter than any other one market in the
world. It will be thus seen that actual
sales at the Elgin board have nothing
to do with the price fixed-which is in
the hands Of the fixing" committee.
If their minds are too lofty. the logic
of events must come along and knock
OF piece.
The butter trust is working into the
control Of a chosen few-for instance
in the state Of Iowa, where there used
to be thousands of creameries, over sc

ing game, and probably for such others
of the series as are played in the
Michigan metropolis.
The 1908 pennant is the ninth to be
won by the Chicago team since the
organization of the National league
BY winning this years championship,
Chicago attained the unique distinc-
ton of having twice won the leader
ship of the league for two consecu-
tive years.
Race Remarkably Close.
The National league race this year
was remarkably close, one which kept
the players and the followers of the
game alike on tenderhooks most of
he season. Chicago secured first place
early in the season, but lost It shortly
afterwards by a remarkable combina-
ton of illnesses and accidents which
kept many players out of the game.
At one time only two regulars were
playing-Captain Chance, who has a
remarkable faculty of keeping the
team together and at top speed, was
out of the game for weeks, and the
pitching staff almost to man lost its
| form. From that time on the strug

First Game Tomorrow.
Cincinnati, Oct. 9-Beginning at
o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday,
Oct 10, the baseball teams of Chicago
and Detroit, which have just won the
closest recorded contest for the cham
pionship of the National and American
leagues, will meet at Detroit and enter
upon a six-day series of games for the
baseball championship of the world.
But one game will be played at. Detroit
before the scene shifts, the Sunday and
Monday contests being scheduled for
Chicago, while the Tuesday and We'd
nesday games are to be played at De-
troit. The sixth game, if one is neces-
sary, will then be transferred to Chi
cago There have been some addi-
toni rules dopted governing such con-
tests, although in most respects the
rules will be as at previous similar
games.
Umpires Named.
The national baseball commission
will be in charge, but the immediate
control of the games is given to two
umpires from each league. For the
National league, Umpires O'Day and
Klein were designated by President
Puliiam, while President Johnson of
the American league named Sheridan
and Connolly to represent his organ
iZation.
Expect Record Crowds.
Chicago, Oct. 9.-Scarcely had the
shouts of the people in the street
greeting Chicago's third consecutive
capture of the National league pennant
died away than enthusiasts of the
city turned their attention to the con-
test which will be waged between
Detroit and Chicago, beginning tomor-
row. That record breaking crowds
will attend the game in this city goes
without question. Since last yea1
when Chicago defeated Detroit for the
worlds championship, the stands al
the West Side park have been so en-
larged that they will seat over 10000
persons, while there is room for many
thousands on the lawn. Last Sunday

AGAIN POINT WITH PRIDE
To Fact That "Miner' Brown Is a
Three-Eye Graduate.


In view Of the wonderful perform
ance of Pitcher Mordecai Brown of
the Chicago Cubs at New York yes
terday another reference to the fact
that he started his professional career
in the Three-Eye league is pardonable.
Brown was with Terre Haute when
that team won the pennant in 1901,
the first year of the Three-Eye, and
his work helped much in lifting the
bunting From Terre Haute he went
to Omaha and from there graduated
into the National league with st.
Louis. Chicago got him in trade
and with lis present associates ne
las developed into one of the very
greatest twirlers ever known to the
game.
