HANNIBAL at Burlington.
! Quincy at Ottumwa.
! Jacksonville at Kewanee.
/ Next game at keokuk, May is.
! The three leading teams in the Cen
trail Association lost yesterday in
games that went for extra rounds.
Keokuk took the count at the hands OF
Ottumwa by score Of / to Q in ten
| innings. Hannibal was sent to cover
by Kewanee in ten sessions by a
score of to 8 and took the Waterloo
Champions ten rounds to dispose OF
Quincy. While Keokuk took slight
slump in the percentage column the
other teams did likewise and the In
dams are perched on top of percent
age column This Is the first time
Keokuk has ever been in the lead for
more than one day since the organic
alton of the Iowa league or the Central
Association.
There is joy in the Packers camp.
Hughie Shannon and his band OF east
erners were able to slip one over on
the Indians yesterday, but 1t was Hick-
man who did most of the slipping. He
let Keokuk down with two safe ones
and although Ottumwa tried to assist
him by making three errors, they did
not come at the right time and Belts
men were evidently up against it.
Bramble pitched his second four-hit
game of the season and it certainly
tough luck that he was not able to
get away with the winners end OF the
game. He went we'll and had the home
team at his mercy. Even at that it took
tOttumwa the extra session to end hos

How to Live Long
Through Scientific Observation Of the
Life of Men and Animals

The scientists who claim that life
can be greatly prolonged have advanc-
ed a theory which is based on animal
life as it exists in the jungles. Take
for instance: An elephant lives for
several hundred years; parrots live a
life Of two or three hundred years,
n other species OF animals enjoy
several centuries Of active life. Now,
II we are advocates of Darwin, who
claims hat man evolved from apes,
the matter is settled. But If our view
is contrary, we have but to review his
tory. People formerly lived several
OF our modern lifetimes.
The trouble is that nov we crowd
an hour into every minute. The war
of m creates worry, exposure,
stirs up disease germs, and thus short.

However, man has been given that

MAY INVALIDATE own SUIT
ObJectOr 10 Logan Ditch AXE Part
in Letting of Contract.

Director TO Logan Ditch Takes Part
in Letting of Contract.
FREMONT, Neb., Aug. 1O-(Special)-
Attorneys for the Logan drainage district
are jubilant over the action Of Gerhard
Monnich this afternoon, which they thinl,
will ruin his chances to win his permanent
injunction suit against the other members
Of the board.
Saturday afternoon Monnich filed a suit
in district court seeking TO tie up perma-
nently the work OF the district by alleg-
ing that the other RENDERS Of the board
had fraudulently conspired to improve their
own lands at the expense of others. and
also by alleging that the drainage statute
was unconstitutional and the board had no
legal right to transact business for the dis
trict.
This afternoon Monnich attended a meet
ing OF the board held at Hooper for the
purpose of letting the contract for the con-
struction OF the bitches and took an active
part in the meeting. He even went so far
as to second the motion to let the contract.
The attorneys for the district are certain
that after he has exercised the powers
given him by the drainage statute he can
not win his suit on the grounds that 1t is
illegal and unconstitutional.
The contract for the e~xcavating Of $751; t
cubic yards of earth for the ditch was lei
to Horton g. Moseley. a partnership OF
Lafayette, Ind. at the rate of 81 cents q
cubic yard. There were nine bidders. The
e~xcavating will be started by September 1.
