Word Received That Higgins will
Send Either Catcher McManus or
Lewis to keokuk, Arriving
This Evening.
PURCHASE PRICE is $500
Option OF Purchasing Him Back Re-
tanned by Western League
Magnate-WilI Help Belt
Out Of Hole.

A catcher will arrive in Keokuk this
evening from Des Moines. He will
either be McManus or Lewis, it is not
yet known which Keokuk will for
ward 5000 for the player, while Des
Moines will retain the option of pur-
chasing him back at any time desired
Both McManus and Lewis have been
with Higgins since the season opened,
but neither have been doing much
backstop work. Both are reported to
be strong men, however, and the Des
Moines owner is willing to give Belt
the value of this service while he is
up against 1t. as at the present time.
The latest word from Higgins was
that he would send one of the two,
who would arrive today. Which ever
one it IS will be ordered to report in
Hannibal tomorrow.
Belt well knows that he is up
against it without the services of
Cavanaugh. But who he will cut
loose or suspend when the Des Moines
player arrives is not known With
the pitching staff hardly to be de.
pended upon when composed of only
four at the present time, it may DE
that he will retain all FIVE and sus-
pend or release sweeley. 1t is all
problematic, however.
Catcher McManus is the one sold
according to advice received this al
ternoon. He left Des Moines today.

Smallest Steamer Of Diamond 10 Line
to TAX. Quincy's Place First
Few Trips Of the
Season.
OTHERS TO BE OUT LATER
Stage Of River lie Yet TOO Low for
the Quincy and ST. Paul to
Leave Their Present
Mornings.

Tie water in the river is too low
for the steamer Quincy Of the Diam
ond 10 line or the Saint Paul, either,
for that matter, to come out for sever
al weeks and the early June rise must
be awaited before either of these
larger craft of tire 10 line can leave
the docks in Dubuque to start in their
summer runs between st. Louis and
ST. Paul.
The Sidney, the smallest steamer of
the fleet will come out from Dubuque
in few days now and will run to ST.
Louis some time this week or the first
of next, to be ready to start northward
from that place on the eighth of the
month. The boat will arrive here at
1890 on the noon of the ninth and
will leave for st. Paul after unloading
her first freight and passengers of the
season at this port
The Sidney does not draw as much
water as the ST. Paul or the Quincy,
and for that reason will be used while
the water Is vet low Although the
smallest boat II the 10 company's
fleet, the boat las been the best mon
ey maker and has built the trade to
what it is at present.
The two larger boats will come out
the latter part of the month and the
Quincy will supplant the Sidney
whic1 will be returned to headquar-
tiers in Dubuque, to be used as a utili-
| ty boat.
The steamer Dubuque which is due
UP tonight win continue in the Keo
kuk-St. Louis and ST. Louis-Burlingt

with her sister ships.
Last Sunday evening. the Dubuque
! made her first really good trip Of this
season. There was plenty of freight or
her boiler deck and number of pas
sengers were aboard the big boat, The
weather has been altogether too coo
for passenger traffic on the river, bu
with warmer weather, things will be

Fred femme, Custodian at Oakland
Cemetery, Has Been Given
Permission to Get Rid
of Animals.
THEY ARE A NUISANCE
Four-Le5sed Pests Run Over the
Graves, Chase the Squirrels
and Behave Most
Shamefuliy.

Dogs are becoming a nuisance in
Oakland cemetery. SO much that Sex
ton Fred femme has been given per-
mission by the officers to shoot all of
these four legged beasts that go into
the grave yard gates and start a
rumpus in any way. A sign over the
cemetery gates at Oakland has read
for years that mo dogs are allowed in
here, but nothing has ever been done
in the way of getting the dogs out
unless it was merely to chase them
away but now the sexton is going to
get into practice on a target and every
dog running around loose in the city
of the dead will enter dog heaven by
| a short route.
The dogs running through the grave
yard have gotten into the habit of
chasing squirrels and frightening
these little bushy tailed animals that
have been fostered in Oakland for
years.
In tearing around after the SPUR
rels, the dogs run across graves, of
ten times destroying flowers and the
well kept appearance of the mounds
in the cemetery.
All persons owning dogs that have
habit of going to the cemetery tc
chase squirrels and use the burial
grounds as lambs green will nc
doubt make an effort to keep theil
pets tied up after several have beer
shot.
AS one of those responsible for the
care of the cemetery remarked this
morning, people in going to Oak
land for the purpose of attending
graves, would best leave their dogs al
home

Somebody Told.


WASHINGTON, June 1-Official
Washington is deeply interesting in
an effort to learn who did the killing
in Wall street yesterday, which must
have been based on advance informa
iicn of the intention of the attorney
general to enjoin the roads from in
creasing freight rates.
Somebody must have known is al
vance, for selling orders were wired
from Washington to New York early
in the day and big profits were made
when the news became public. Wick
ersham, after talk with President
Taft in the morning. said he would be
| unable to make any announcement be-
fore tomorrow The white house was
equally silent. Despite tits fact :. Is
| certain that Wickersham and the
president reached a conclusion in the
morning as Wickersham did not visit
the white ouse again during the day.
From the time the exchange opened
in New York, the market was flooded
with orders. Somebody knew and
somebody would like to know who
] that somebody is.
