Quincy Journal: At the regular
monthly business meeting Of the St.
Joseph Young Mems society, held In
the st. Boniface club rooms, after the
routine business for the month was
duly disposed of, the matter of elect
ing a manager for the baseball team
to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Edward Schlottman
came up and Carl Ording was chosen
for the position. Immediately after
the business meeting adjourned a
meeting of the excursion committee
was held and at that time it was de-
cided to give an all day excursion to
keokuk and return on July 81. The
various committees to look after the
affair were chosen and they are now
making plans for the purpose OF hay
ing the excursion prove great sue
cess. The committee in charge has
been assured by the boat company
that the excursion will take place all
right even though the water Is some
what lower than usual. They stated
that the low water has caused the
channel to deepen and that there is
no danger whatever. 1t is the inten-
ton of the committee to make ar
rangements whereby baseball game
can be played at Keokuk between the
local boys and Keokuk team, al
though this has not yet been fully
decided.
Last time tonight for Smokey

The agricultural smile broadened
this morning when the moisture began
falling. Well informed grain men say
that with timely rains the corn crop
will develop wonderfully fast and
give a very substantial yield. The
pasture responds very rapidly to the
rainfall and the crop prospects
brighten materially under conditions
such as prevailed this morning.
Burlington Gazette: Col. William
Mccoy, editor and chief of the Burl.
ingson city directory, whom Rockfo'
ILL.,, is fortunate enough to claim as
a citizen, Is in the city for few
days, laying plans for getting out the
next local directory. Until Col. Nc
Coy appeared in the local field. Burl.
ington never knew what it was to
have good city directory. The Inn
portance of correct compilation of the
citizens of community is emphasized
every day and the Mccoy book is
invariably right. Col Mccoy EN-.
ploys experts to get out his book; men
of years experience and they have a
system that is about as near infallible
as any human could make It. Col
Mccoy was formerly a resident Of
Keokuk and he is full of good stores
of his experience in the old town.
In fact if there was any way to Inn
prove the quality of Col. McCoy's dl.
rectory, it would be by the insertion
of his memoirs.
