suffered severe slump; Blue Jacket
was going at slow gait. Burch was
winning about two out of six and
Prough was lowering around the 500
mark for about two weeks. Herbert,
coming from the Northern Associa-
ton. hadn't hit the ball for {, week.
Nearly every game on that road trip
had been lost with the Saturday and
Sunday games to be played. Belt
had heart-to-heart talk with Blue
Jacket and Prough. Blue Jacket was
to work Saturday and the latter on
Sunday. Belt said if both games
we're not won it would be the resigna
ton route for him.
Seeking to save the veteran, Blue
Jacket went in on Saturday hoping
for a victory. The story in brief

Galesburo Sorry to Lose Money.

GALESBURG, H., Dec. 3--And now
comes that feeling of remorse which
happens on the morning after, and To-
cal baseball men are somewhat sorry
that they did not let Eofer go out
of the league by the back-door, bag
and baggage, for the princely sum OF
$4,000 The more the local directors
masticate the morsel, the easier 1T
would be to swallow that gigantic
wad Of money with qualms of con-
science after holding seat for a few
moments at the big league table
where the Jackpot" was OWED. 1t
meant about $3.50 apiece to each OF
the other seven clubs and the ready
cash would make Christmas truly
great in that city among baseball
fans. The chances are that Kewanee
would also be willing to dispose of
her birthright for q split of the 81
500.

TELLS HOW TO
MAKE GOOD ROADS
PARTY OF ROADWAY ENTHUSI.
ASTS FROM kEOkUK TOWN.
SHIP VISIT OTTUMWA.

"The only way to solve the good
roads problem is the installing of
permanent culverts and the grading
up of the highway" stated Charles H.
Bell a townIhip trustee of keokuk
county and an enthusiastic booster for
good roads. Mr.. Bell, in company
with eight other township trustees OF
Keokuk county, came to the city Sat-
urday to purchase number of cor
rugated culverts of the Richie Cor
rugated Culvert company for road
work in their county and they were
guests of the local firm while in OF
tumwa. The forenoon was spent in
visit to the local plant, while in the
afternoon, the party attended the mat
inee at the Garrick theater.
while permanent culverts and the
grading up of the roads are neces-
sity in good roads making, the King
road drag is also another useful ar
ticle to put the rural highways in
fine condition." continued Mr.. Bell.
1--WE pay in our townships fifty cents
mile for dragging the roads and they
start the work as soon as the frost
leaves the ground. The good work OF
the road drag is shown by the fine
highways in our county. Keokuk
county has some of the best rural
highways in the state. We expect to
keep on dragging the roads, putting in
the permanent culverts and it will
only be short time until the roads
in Keokuk county will be the best In
the state"
The other members of the party also
expressed Mr.. Bells opinions on good
road making. They likewise are road
way enthusiasts and all were of the
same opinion that soon the Keokuk
county roads would be the best in the
state.
The members of the party were: c.
O. Fair, Charles Snakenburg and w.
H. Dubois of German township,
Charles H, Bell, A. G. Brady and A.
J. Clapp of Van Buren, township,
Charles Connors and w. H. Gaylord of
West Lancaster township.
