The First Game.

Monagan and Boothby were the OPP. |
posing twirlers in the first game.
Boothby's curves and shoots have al |
ways been hard for Hannibal to solve
and he pitched great ball yesterday |
afternoon but the Keokuk boys discoy
cred that Monagan can bend them
over too. He seemed to be as cool as
an iceberg and let Belts lads down
with five hits. He only allowed two
bases on balls and struck out seven
men.
O'Mara, the new short stop, made
his first appearance in Hannibal I'M
form yesterday. He put up swell
game He is fast on his feet, clean
fielder and plays the game all the way.
His sacrifice hit helped to score the
first run. In the second game his steal
of second base was the play which
caused Belt to kick himself clear out
of the game.
Keokuk took the lead In the first
inning After Bresnahan had been re-
tired, O'Mara to Beckley. Pennington
cracked out beauty to left field. He
scored on Reichle's hit to right
Reichle was thrown out at second,
Shea to MiIligan and Jansen ended the
inning by tanning.
In the fifth inning Keokuk scored
again Murray singled to right, stole
second and scored on Belts driver ov-
er right field fence for two bases. Belt
went to third on wild pitch. Moore
strolled Cavanaugh struck out, but
Boothby hunted toward third and
reached first in safety. Things began
to look black for Hannibal as the
head of the batting list was up again
and the bases were full but at this
juncture Beckley electrified the fans
by working the hidden ball trick on
Boothby and when the pitcher started
to get a lead for second Eagle Eye
slapped the ball on him good and
hard Bresnahan was given his base
on balls. Pennington popped out to
Milligan.
Hannibal scored first in the fourth
inning. Milligan doubled to left field
He advanced on O'Mara's sacrifice

A Professional Cripple Grew Too
 Eloquent in Court

From the New York World.
 A quick and sure cure for a certain form of fiardlyss was discovered by Magistrate Breen in Essex Market court A forlorn looking man, who gave his pame as Joseph Horn, 67 Catherine street, stood before the magistrate. one hand and arm doubled up and to all appear ances paralyzcd. Ho had been arrested Dy Detective Mccarthy for begging
 It's a shame to arrest a poor cripple like this fellow, even if he is begging, . said the magistrate, glancng pityingly at the prisoner's helpless limb.
 When the detective insisted that the man was not crippled the magistrate asked Horn what he had to say for himself.
 "All I got ter say, yer honor, is that I'm paralyzed. And l'Ie been so since I vas injured nclpi7g to rescue a mcte Grrin' tho Spanish war
 The prisoner emphasized the Spanish WAT with Ses,s'ge carelessly using the injpred arm. The magistrate mo-
 "straighten out that mans arm" he ordered an attendant

HIS COMMENTS WERE COSTLY A Police Judge Raised a Fine Three
 Times

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The traditional dignity of Yer sey justice has once more been vim dicated, according to the latest returns from Caldwell. James Martin, a town character, described by the local experts as "a man of excellent family, but who does odd jobs," was arraigned before Recorder Heller, accused of having pill fered few rifles from his patrons.
 Ten dollars, or 30 days in jail,'' said Recorder Heller after hearing the evi- dence
 You take that back said Jimmy Mar tin truculently.
 Ten dollars more or 90 days for con tempt of court" remarked the recorder.
 "Oh hell' said Jimmy Martin.
 "And BIO or 30 days more for that contempt of court" said the recorder.
 ''Oh, Hellerl' said Jimmy. He appar- enrly meant to be plaintive, but the re- corder did not take it that way
 And $10 more or 30 days more for still more contempt of court he remarked wearily
 When finally they led Jimmy Martin Imply to prison cell lie had been sen tenced to pay $G0 or to spend 1SO days in jail.
 When I get out" he said to the turnkey, I'm going in there and tell Fred Heller what I really think of him. ''

 Mr Smiths contention vas that the cityJ ordinance which his client was accused of having violated had been repealed by the adoption of the Smith bill, and that the city had not since that time adopted another regulation prohibiting the offense with which Wolf was charged, only that part of the Smith bill which prohibited the ra1e of spirituous liquors without li- cense being part of the city ordinances.

HYATT |S GIVEN
 TWELVE YEARS
Jury Convicted Criminal of Murder in Second
 Degree

Anniston. November 2.-(Special)- The jury. in the case of Jim Hyatt, charged with the murder of Tom God frey Woods, after being out 63 hours, returned the following verdict this morning at o'clock:
 We. the jury, find the defendant guilty of murder in the second degree and fix his punishment at 12 yeags at hard labor" After the jury had bade its report Judge Coleman explained that it was unnecessary for the recom- mendation of hard labor to have been included in the report, as such is pro- vided for by law. It is understood that the jury made the recommendation on account of the lax manner in which Dr. John Pierce, another convicted mur- dered sent up from this county, has been handled by the penitentiary au- thorities. pr. Pierce was seen on the streets of Birmingham short time ago by citizens of Anniston, who were surprised to find him apparN1tly hav- ing a good time when he was supposed 10 be serving a sentence at hard labor.
 J. ]. Arnold, one of the attorneys for the defense, stated this morning that the Hyatt case will be appealed.

Make Saturday Easier
e Christian Register

From the Christian Register.
 There is a movement on foot to induce the closing of stores on Saturday night so as to put an end to the larger part of the Saturday night dissipation-fhat is' the trading and the worrying until near midnight. The purpose is to bring about a Sabbath day preparation, and In this way to secure Q real rest for the people Perhaps the promoters of this movement have more in mind the sacred nature or Sunday and a desire for it's observance as Gods day rather than as mans day. Wc are inclined to think. however, that 1t would be a good thing If everybody would shorten his Saturday work and get the tired feeling out of his soul be- fore he goes to his nights sleep. Sunday in that way might become a more thor oughly genial and wholesome affair and give us what we need--real rest.

The body of the man found Saturday
by some boys in the weeds near the Union
Pacific tracks and the Dodge street road
has been identified by his relatives as
that Of w. S. Ovetton, a bachelor and a
farmer, who for the last forty years has
lived on a farm five miles southwest of
Springfield
Foul play is suspected by his relatives,
because the last time Overton was seen
alive by his friends he had in his poss IS
sion 1900 in cash.
On August lS Overton sold his farm for
1900 cash and put the money in his
pocket In the evening he was driven TO
Mnard from Springfield and that is the
last heard of him until his body was
found in the weeds on the Dodge street
road nearly a north afterwards
Overton had sold his farm quite unex-
pectedly and it is said he was led to this
move by the fear of arrest at the instance
of some OF his neighbors over some
trifling matter 1t is said that Overton
had heard that his neighbors had gone for
a warrant for his arrest Some Of the
neighbors' haystacks had been burned and
Il was reported they suspected Overton.

from Springfield to Millard 500 for the
Job and also gave him 800 to give to his
mother. He told the boy he was going to
take a train 10 Omaha.

Government Files
It's Appeal Against
Hartman Merger
Alleges Court Erred in Holding Union
Pacific Was Not Competing with
Southern Pacific.

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, Sept lo.-Ap-
peal papers we're filed in the United States
court here yesterday by the federal govern.
ment In the suit against tho Union Pa
oafic Railway company and others, known
as the Hartman merger suit. which was
decided last June by the United States
circuit court for the Eighth district In
favor of the railway defendants.
In the majority opinion the court held
that the railroad companies were not COM
peting lines and that the Sherman anti
trust law was not being violated.
The government appeal from this de-
cision, filed today points out sixty-two
alleged errors by the circuit judges. many
of which are concerned with what are
competing lines and others concerned with
stock deals among the railroads them
selves.
1t is further contended that the court
erred in holding that the Union Pacific
was not a line competing for trade with
the Southern Pacific, together with the
latter's steamship lines and in holding that
the purchase by the Oregon Short Line OF
per cent of the stock of the Salt Lake
route was not in violation of the law
The effect Of the appeal, II the supreme
court chooses to consider 1t on all the
grounds submitted. will bring practically
every finding of fact by the circuit court
into question again.
The order for the appeal is signed by
Judge Sanborn. The original suit was be-
gun here in Febraury. 1905 and decision
was rendered by the circuit court June "a
