as soon as the game closed. While
Shockleys decisions had been of such

always surrounded himself with play
ers who are gentlemen and who are
ever ready and willing to do all in
their power to uphold and increase the
standard of the game. They have
succeeded admirably. this being the
SECOND disturbance which has been
brought about by incompetency in the

IN all that is said Of the affair, Wa.
terloo players cannot be charged with
rowdyism of any kind, and the fines
imposed by Umpire Shockley should
be disregarded by the president.
When shockley was being pushed

Shockley's side as soon as possible

pleading that he was a man among

the team had retired to the club house
or many of them would have been

the disturbance. shockley was given

on by himself.

TRAVEL TO THE NORTHWEST.
Spring colonIst Movement Said 4
Break all Records.

CHICAGO, Ill, May 19.-The full
returns which have been thoroughly
canvassed show that the spring col
onist movement into the Pacific north
west and into California was the
greatest in the history OF the rail-
roads. During the months Of March
and April. which is the period Of low
colonist rates, the records show that
approximately $4,000 people sought
new homes on the broad acres of the
northwest, including Idaho, Nevada,
Utah, Colorado and Wyoming, and
that fully 5000 people found perma-
nent Judgment in California, making
total of about 71,0)0.
Owing to the fact that SO many
wild statements have been published
regarding the colonist movement into
the northwest, the officials OF the Hill
lines refuse to give their figures In
detail. 1t is stated, however. that the
increase in the colonist movement te
that territory Is between 40 and Sc
per cent over the previous spring
movement Over the Hartman lines
whose officials have kept the closer
track of the movement into the Pa
cific northwest, the increase has beer
only trifie short of 100 per cent
| while to California it has been les,
than 1914 per cent.

CUPID SAYS
OFF IS MAYOR
The God Of Love Recognizes Him
as the Man Elected and Pays
no Attention TO the
Contest.
PERFORMS A MARRIAGE
Left the Base Ball Game and Came to
the Court House Yesterday A.
ternoon to Tie the
Knot.

The contest for mayor may come to
a sudden close tais evening when evil
dence is introduced that Dan Cupid
has officially recognized Charles Off
as mayor Of the city OF Keokuk. If
such evidence is introduced, 1t would
be all over with Louis Sterne, for
such a proof would settle the matter
for all time to come.
BY officiating yesterday afternoon
and marrying couple as the mayor OF
the city, Mr.. Off has created a bit OF
evidence which any court in the coun-
try would have to accept.
Tie wedding occurred between 4
and o'clock yesterday afternoon in
the clerks office, the contracting par-
ties being Thomas jefferson Hodson
and Josephine Mary Nau, both of
Peoria.
The groom was 43 years Of age and
9 contractor by profession. The bride
was 2S years Of age.
They secured their license early In
the afternoon, but when 1t came to
securing a minister. they had some
trouble in finding one at home. The
mayor Of the city was suggested and
they agreed that he would be a good
one to tie the knot.
keokuk Lost the Game.
Mr.. Off was telephoned to at his
home but was out at the base ball
game. He was called up out there and
q sreed to come down town and per
form the ceremony, leaving the
grounds with the result that Keokuk
lost the game.
He performed the ceremony with
impressiveness and tied the knot just
as tight as anyone could and Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas jefferson Hodson left
the building happy.
The couple did not care whether Mr..
Off was the real mayor or the acting
mayor, accepting him as qualified to
marry them and Dan Cupid offered NO
objections.
| II the marriage license book, returns
of the wedding and affidavit of Cupid,
are introduced as evidence this even
ing at the contest meeting, 1t will be
all over for with such strong prooi
in Mr.. Offs favor, the council would
have to vote for him unanimously
