Quincy won the opener from Ottum-
wa by score of 4 to 2, Rause hold
ing Ottumwa down to five hits. Here
is what the Wing says of Yeager, who
played second base:
Charles Yeager, the "Old Fox not
only "cut up some" around second
base but acted rather lively around
the bags and had an awful grudge at
the visiting pitcher. Out of four times
up he singled three times and made a
sacrifice, batting 1000. He also
scored one run and drove in two Of
the other three, thus being responsible
alone for sufficient scores to wi: the
game. In addition to this he stole
two bases. In fielding he was no less
a star, accepting eight chances with
out an error. He had four put-outs
and four assists. To finish up days
record he figured in as pretty a play
as has been seen here this year, TAX
ing hot drive off Wise's bat and
doubling Cavanaugh at first.

MRS. LAURA RUSSELL,
Logan, Iowa.
When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

but got away with several hunts and
planted the ball through the infield |
often enough to score men.
Keokuk players set the grandstand
and bleachers bowling with delight
In the third after series of well d.
rected infield bingles. With two men
down and out Annis paraded to first
on four wide ones. With ease he pill
fered second on the speedy Searles
and went to third when Jack Landry
sent clean one to left field. After
Landry had stolen second Reichle got
busy. He showed an easy one to the
right Of Kent, which the pitcher was
not looking for, and as the ball rolled
slowly to second Annis scored. The
second baseman gathered up the ball
with some delay, but Landry did not
quite have time to reach home and
was nipped at the plate.
In the sixta an error and three light
bingles gave the Indians two more
runs and put the game on Ice. Ban
croft bobbled Landry's easy one and
Reichle sacrificed. Miller sent an
easy one that went for hit and ad-
vanced Landry to third. Miller stole
second and Grodnick, the dandy sec
ond baseman ripped the ball over sec.
ond, scoring both runners. Corriden
hit one that was too fast for Kruger
at short and Belt gave the signal for
the double steal. The play went wrong
and Grodnick was caught between sec
ond and third and run to earth. Belt
sent long fly to center and the side
retired. Score Keokuk 3-Waterloo
0.
During all the time that Keokuk
was active Waterloo was finding
hard proposition in RUDE Burch. Dur
ing the entire nine inings but three
men got to first base and only twenty
eight men faced the tall lefthander.
The only single came in the fourth
inning, but it only gave Hildebrand
an opportunity Of displaying his abil-
1 ity. Penny sent fast one to right
/ field that looked good for three bases.
Pennington thought the ball far out of
Hildebrand's reach and continued on to
/ second. A great stop by Hildebrand
after the ball had struck the ground,
and lightning throw to second base
which was perfect, caught Penning-
ton by several feet.
In the third his jumps came in for
another raking. Reichle hit ball
which was very near the line when
Searles picked it up. The catcher
threw to first, but the first baseman
dropped the ball and two men came
home. shockley held the ball was

The receipts for the sale of grand
stand seats amounted to $152.40 and
the box seats were completely filled.
The crowd almost encircled the field
and grouLl rules were necessary be-
fore the game could begin.
Amid great applause Acting Mayor
Oft, he of contest fame. pitched the
first ball. 1t was splitter and broke
too soon, so Curtis, the well known
centerfielder let the offering 90 past
him. After Charlie had resumed his
seat in the box with the rest of the
city officials the game opened and the
spectators were happy.
His Jumps Is "Noivous."
The brush is full Of them, the only
thing necessary is to bring them to
the front and give the indicator men
an opportunity Of displaying their abil-
ity. His Nobs" Shockley, slated for
the a la Silk OLaughlin act, was
clearly victim Of nervousness during
the entire game, from the announce
ment OF the batteries until Hildebrand
gathered in Pennington's long fly.
In announcing the batteries he was
completely fooled and had Burch
pitching to some unknown quantity
who afterwards turned out to be Belt.
In the first inning Waterloo had &C.
CASTOR to rejoice-not If Boyle could
see it that way-for Lazette, selected
to do the receiving for the champs
was benched in this round. 1t seems
that the jumps failed to properly re.
cord Landry's fouls and swings and
when Lazette thought the man was
out he had but two strikes according
to the ruling of the umpire. General
opinion Is that Landry should have
been out when the strike in question
was called on him. Lazette argued
until he was benched and Searles tool
his place. This little upshot rather up
set the Waterloo team and especially
Pennington.

AND RESERVOIRS TO COVER

Denver.-Officers of the Henrylyn
irrigation district. comprising 100000
acres lying north and northeast OF
Denver. within a radius of thirty miles
of this city. and of the Littleton-Golden
district, with 10000 acres between
Golden and Littleton, on Monday sent
out a corps OF nine engineers in charge
of Addison ]. McCune, chief engineer.
and H. C. Lallier. assistant chief engi'
neer of the largest district, to make
permanent locating surveys for some
twenty-three miles of collecting ana
diverting bitches along Williams FORK
Creek. on the Western Slope. sixty
miles west OF Denver.
The surveying party will leave the
Colorado & Southern's Clear Creek d.
vision at Empire, and proceed to
Jones' Pass by wagon and burro train.
Crossing the divide at an altitude OF
1880 feet, they will descend the
Western Slope to Hagarstown. near
principal upper feeders Of the Grand
River. There is located the western
portal OF a tunnel which is to be
driven 1890 feet under Jones Pass,
for the purpose Of diverting the waters
OF Williams Fork and tributaries into
Bard Creek, known as Upper Clear
Creek. By the latter creek it will be
conveyed to the big acreages of the
districts already formed near this city.
The waters OF the South Fork. Nc
Quarry, Steelman and Bobtail creeks,
branches of Williams Fork, will be d.
verted into the tunnel, which will be
called the Lee tunnel, at its western
portal. The everlasting SHOWS and the
summer freshets alike will be utilized
to supply the big bore through the
hills, which will be seven by nine feet
in the clear, and will carry 700 second
feet Of water. or ample for the pur-
poses of both: districts. 1t is to plan
finally the supply bitches that the en-
gineers have gone over the divide on
their present trip. The tunnel has al
ready been driven, 200 feet from its
eastern portal, which is situated IL
miles above Empire. 1t is estimated
that three years time will be required
to complete the tunnel feature.
NOt less Bl8duuC anu interesting oEo
the Company's plans At the land end of
the project. From the eastern portal
the diverted water runs down Clear
creek to a point near Denver. There
a canal is to be constructed about four
miles in length, diverting the waters
into the Platt river. Down the Platt
they run to a point just above River
side cemetery. There the main ditch
starts across the country for distance
of As miles. 1t will be SO feet wide on
top, % feet on the bottom and ~ feet
deep, being constructed to carry 500
second feet If necessary. 1t empties
into Horse creek, reservoir. which COW
ers approximately 1900 acres. and will
hold over $4,000 acre feet of water.
The Hudson, holding over 5000 acre
feet; the Boot Leg. holding over 1000
acre feet, and the Lost creek, holding
$500 acre feet, are other reservoirs
that will be constructed on Henrylyn
lands as the water is needed. The
Henrylyn district was first organized
to build out of the Platte river across
Box Elder creek. watering lands around
Hudson and Keene.
