Quincy Herald: Occasionally fan
who gets to see the I'm. league games
is heard to make the assertion that
the quality of ball played in that little
circuit is equal to that furnished by
the Central association. Some go
even as far as to compare records OF
I'M. men with those OF players in
the Central association or leagues still
higher up. The work of Forsyths, in
particular, is being held up IS wonder
full The best proof of the superiority
of C. A. ball over that of the I'm.
is the work of the men who have
played in both leagues. The work of
former C. A. players who drifted into
the I'm. league proves that the Cen
trail association has better pitchers,
or the1I-M has fielders that are far
below the Central association men in
ability The following figures will
prove interesting to the fans Charlie
Yeager's batting average for several
years past was around the 200 mark.
He never claimed to be hitter, but
when he struck the I'm. league his
stock went up His averages for the
past two years are as follows:

Forsythe was signed in the fall OF
1908, on the strength of his batting
average in the Eastern Illinois In the
c, A. he could not get more than one
hat every three days. In the In he
came near eaualling Hans Wagner's
record. The following figures show his
work in the two leagues:

Keokuk People Are Given Convincing
Proof.

No better test of any article can be
made than the test of time and this is
particularly true of kidney medicine.
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood this
test and stood it well. What better
proof of the merits of this remedy

of q Keokuk resident who has been
cured and has stayed cured?
Read the following:

backache that made it hard for me to

cured me- and have had no further
trouble from my back or kidneys"

May z, 1906 and was confirmed by
Mr.. Reynolds on Nov 8. 1905. He

RECIPROCITY
MUSICAL. PROGRAM
The Burlington Music Club Provided
Fine Program Last Evening for
the Monday Music Club OF
This City.
BURLINGTON ARTISTS
BURLINGTON ARTISTS
Miss Bertha Klein, Pianist, and Miss
Alice cioush, NioIinist, Delight
ed Audience With Well
Selected Program.

A reciprocity program was present
ed at the auditorium of the Y. M. c..
A. last evening. when Miss Bertha
Klein, pianiste. and Miss Alice Clough,
violiniste. representing the Burlington
Music club, delighted an audience
made up of members of the Monday
Music club, and large number of out
siders who took advantage of the gen
eral invitation issued to the public.
1t will be remembered that in Jan
uary, the Monday Music club arranged
for program to be given in Burling-
ton by two of its members, william
Lester, organist, and Robert Carey
Hufstader, tenor; though at the last
Mr.. Hufstader was prevented by i'll
ness from going, and Sol Alberto
v.clincellist, assisted Mr.. Lester. Last
evenings program was Burlington's
compliment in return.
The two young artists from Burling-
ton were heard with delight and en-
thusiasm. as was evidenced by the APP
Glause and frequent encores of last
evening. And never were these marks
Of approval more deservedly won.
Their entire program was rendered
with an ease, a grace, simplicity,
that charmed and in both selection
and rendition, their program was a
satisfaction.
Miss Klein's first number, the min
net in E Major by Beethoven, display
ed an exactness of technique which
marked every selection, whether in
the daintiness of touch required in the
pianissimo parts Of Chopin's nine
teenth Prelude, the octave work for
the left hand in his twenty-first Pre-
Jude, or the voluminous chords and
erratic variations of Paderewski's
theme. In Chopin's twentieth Prelude
and in the Introduction to the Pad
erwski theme, her notes mad Won
derful singing quality. and her inter
probation of MacDowell's "The Eagle
was notable for both intellectually
and feeling. AS accompanlst for Miss
Clough, though the piano parts We're
admirably subdued. she proved herself
most sympathetic and responsive.
Miss Clough's first selection was
yieuxtemps' Aria Variations and
the deep opening bars were PIE ed
with the richness and roundness a
yiolincello, while the high notes fol
lowing contrasted in striking way
tnat emphasized their purity. Miss
Cfough plays with impressive free
dom and confidence, and proved her
seit also the possessor of tempera

ton to Hauser's Hungarian Rhapsody
Her staccotos and arpeggios were bril-
liant. her octaves and chords rounC

A parson was sent for by dying
parishioner, who had always sternly
refused to have anything to do with

ending with sonorous "Amen!" The
last word made her sit up with sudden
energy. Aye" she exclaimed, that's

: The announcement that the excel
lent play st. Elmo will be given at
the Grand theatre, next Thursday,
matinee and evening, will be received
with interest by an unusually large
percentage of the population, for prac-
tically everyone has read this sterling
work of fiction
The book, from which the play has
been carefully taken, was written by
Augusta j. Evans, more than forty
years ago, but, Notwithstanding the
lapse of time. it is still a highly
priced volume in every library and to-
day at every book store, runs the six

ity. Three generations have praised
"St. Elmo" and it is curious fact
that theatre producers have not be-
fore appropriated it to their uses. 1t
is less than year ago that Grace
Hayward, the popular actress-play-
wright, and author of the play 'Grau-
stark, undertook a decentralization of
the famous old novel.
The present play is the result of
more than six months labor, and that
the time was well spent is evinced by
the instantaneous success OF Miss
Hayward's version. The play is a
genuine triumph, both from an arts
tic and financial point of view. In
fact, among theatrical folk, it is the
talk of the year.

is, WAR PERMANENT?

In a recent magazine article the
late William James takes THE Val
or of Ignorance" by General Homer
Lea, as a typical utterance of what
he calls the "milataristic" point of
view. This, according to Professor
James, is the theory that war is a
permanent human obligation" as ne
cessary to the health of nations as
milder struggles are to the manhood
of individuals Toward this attitude
Professor James himself confesses a
decided leaning, though he would sub
stitute warfare with nature as the
moral equivalent" of armed conflict
among the nations. AS to General
LEAFS prophecies of war with Japan,
he writes: "a dismal forecast indeed
Yet not absolutely implausible, if the
mentality of Japan's statesmen be of
the Caesarian type. There is no rea
son to think, after all, that women
can no longer be the mothers of Ma
poleonic or Alexandrian characters
and if these characters should APP
pear in Japan and find their opportun
ity, just such surprises as The Val
or of Ignorance paints may Turk in
ambush for us"

THE FUND FOR
CONSERVATION

Yesterday Governor Frear was busy
calculating the disposition of the con.
servation fund for the ensuing year.
The amount allotted last year was
S98,050, but all of this will not be
utilized until the end of his year. The
total amount expended during the last
fiscal period was $50, 464 10, while the
total amount of receipts was $95,723.S4
thus leaving a balance of $9,259 65.
The collections since that date have
increased the surplus to 1880 .05
and the expenditure has been $13,-
1863 .S5, leaving a balance on hand of
$3,96020. There is an outstanding con-
tract of $1,62S .O6.
The Territory will get $4,000
from the Federal Government for n.y.
