The Springfield baseball franchise
and club in the Three-I league is for
sale. That is a settled fact, now.
Kinsella has gone so far that it does
not seem possible that he is blufflng.
President NJ. H. Sexton of the ThreeI
league has now decided to ts-ke a
hand in the littln game and he an
nounces that he will see to it that the
interests of the league are preserved.
In an interview at Dubuque, Mr.. Sex
ton said that if the club is not sold to
Springfield parties, it must &c sold to
purchasers who will put it in city
that is acceptable to the Three-l
league. Perhaps this might mean an
opportunity for Clinton to once more
enter the Three-I league baseball. No
other city within the Three-I league
circuit can be brought to mind that
would offer better inducements. from
every point of view. than Clinton.
Lack of a baseball association IN
Clinton may preclude the possibility
of the opportunity being taken ad-
vantage of. although when Ted Sui
Ivan was in Clinton few weeks
ago it was rumored that the scout
was endeavoring to get the Spring
field franchise. Perhaps Tee Will
now seize the opportunity to pur-
chase the club.

JERRY MOORE
rs A MOOCHER
When Arrested in Quincy He Made
His Usual Long Talk to Judge
With Poor Results.

Jerry Moore who waS%arreSted here
half dozen times this winter for be-
ing drunk and was finally given a thir-
ty day sentence in the county Jail, was
released ahead of time in order that
he might get out of town and go to
work, being plumber by trade. He
went to Quincy and yesterday was UP
to his old tricks, getting arrested for
getting drunk and when appearing in
court making one of his characteristic
speeches for clemency. He talked
too much and was fined s27. The Her
aid tells of him as follows:
Jerry Moore of keokuk was
charged with vagrancy by OFFICER
Mas and was fined with costs
s2725. Moore is moocher-a stall
wart young fellow who prefers to
spend his money fo- red liquor to
buying food and the standing off
the restaurant keeper for a meal.
He was fined on the same charge
two years ago but was let go on the
plea tlat he. was the sole support of
his parents. He would probably have
been let off more lightly this time
had he not gone on the stand and
tried to square himself with the
court. Telling how he had come to
tle city stranger he had INDUCED
in too much booze and had no
money left to buy something to eat
he turned to the court and asserted
confidently: You know how it is your
self, Judge" The wonder is that the
Judge didn't soak him the limit.

Asked.

The Gate City few evenings ago
printed a dispatch from New York
City to the effect that The North
American company has decided to
pass a five per cent dividend. The ST.
Louis Republic this morning contained
an announcement to the effect that the
five per cent dividend had been
passed at meeting held yesterday
and the stock took big leap from $50
to $3.50. The financial condition of
this company is gratifying to the peo-
pie who are interested in the local
water power, and the indications are
all favorable. The article is as fol.
lows:
When the North American company,
at the annual meeting of the directors,
yesterday in New York City, declared
dividend of five per cent, dividends
having been passed for year, the re-
sumption had the effect of materially
increasing the value of the stock at
the exchanges.
The stock had declined to $50.
Yesterdays announcement sent the
bid to $3.50 and $85 was asked The
advance amounted to $3.50 share.
The North American directors or
dered a disbursement of IL per cent.
The dividend is payable April 1. The
| last previous dividend was paid on
September 2, 1907, so there had been
lapse of about a year and half in
disbursements to shareholders.
Following the directors meeting,
President C. w. Wetmore said that
the dividend declared was quarterly
one. thus placing the stock on per
cent annual basis, the same as had
been paid previous to the dividend
/ suspension.
| Mr.. Wetmore said that the earnings
of the company for last year would
allow about s1,45O,0 900. The compa-
nys net income, at the present time,
/ ne stated, was at considerably larS-
er rate than during the last fiscal year

RAISING BUILDING FUND
New Edifice to Be Erected and
Cost 100000

Three years after the destruction OF
its edifice in the big fire the First Bap-
tist church has begun vigorous cam
paign for reconstruction, and $4,000
was pledged to the building fund at
yesterday mornings service, the first
actually devoted to the campaign.
Ten thousand dollars in 60 days is
the slogan adopted by the committee
charged with the task Of gathering
funds. Charles Northrop is chairman
of this committee. The other members
are George Fraser and Nathan Brace.
The church authorities have recon
sidered their plans for a chapel and
have decided to build the main struc-
ture at once on the corner of the 80
vara lot At Octavia and Waller streets
Between 100000 and $40. 000 will be ex-
pended in the construction of the edi-
fee. After the first installment of S10,-
600 is raised the remainder will be
sought.
