The War.

1t is estimated that the cost of the
war between Turkey and Italy will
about equal Caruso's salary for one
season or the Terrible Turks share
of the prize money for one wrestling
match.
Whatever awkward bitches and de-
lays there may be in the early con-
duct of the conflict are attributed to
the fact that this is the first war for
many years that has not been person
ally conducted by James Creelman.
Those desiring to maintain a state
of neutrality will, when they drink
Chianti with their dinner, conclude
with Turkish cigarettes.
Attempts to inspire paragraphs to
the effect that Italy's war ultimatum
may prove to be a premature Thanks
giving proclamation leading to the dis
memberment of Turkey has thus far
signally failed.

"a hundred and fifty miles as the
crow flies, and sand all the way, eX-
cept for the valley Of Salt Fork. Come
on now, and keep close. for it's easy
to get lost In these sand hills"
Keith had ridden that hundred and
fifty miles of sandy Gesolation before,
but had never been called upon to
make such journey as this proved to
be. He knew there was little to fear
from human enemies, for they were
riding far enough east of the Santa Fe
trail to be out of the path Of raiding
parties, while this desert country was
Stunned by Indian hunters. 1t con-

drear waterless waste, where nothing
grew, and mid the dread sameness OF

or the blazing sun by day.
They had covered ten miles of 1t by
daybreak, their ponies travelling heavi-
ly, fetlock deep, but could advance no
further. With the first tint of rose In
the east the brooding storm burst
upon them in wild desert fury, the
fierce wind buffeting them back, lash
ing their faces with sharp grit until
they were unable to bear the pain.
The flying sand smote them in clouds,
driven with the speed Of bullets. In
vain they lay fiat, urging their ponies
forward; the beasts, maddened and
blinded by the merciless lashing of the
sand, refused to face the storm. Keith,

Keith's horse half fell, plunging nose
under, yet gaining foothold again be-
fore the rider had deserted his saddle.

some fierce eddy in the stream keith
heard the negros cultural cry, and
caught glimpse of him as the two

rope of the lariat, grasped in his right
hand, was hurled forth like a shot,
but came back empty. Not another
sound reached him; his own horse
went steadily on, feeling his way, I'M

water merely ripping about his ankles.
Keith driving feet again into the stir

close in toward the shore, leaning for

through the gloom.

Shown Excellent Condition of
Baseball Affairs
There.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, July 10
There Is a we'll defined rumor, based
on pretty much of fact that President
Hayden has been offered $1,000 for
Pitcher Hawk, the player to be de-
ivered next fall after the season is
over. The offer comes from big
league manager who has had his eye
on the twirler. President Hayden, one
rumor says, has closed a contract for
the sale, but another rumor is that
Hayden says Hawk is worth more than
$1,000, and that he can get more for
the pitcher, judging by Inquiries be-
ing made concerning him. President
Hayden. speaking of the future, while
in Burlington recently made the state
ment that he expected to have to sign
an entire new team next spring. The
inference Is that he will be able to
sell practically all of his present team
at a profit. There is no doubt that
he has fast bunch of players and all
desirable by other managers.
The Burlington Baseball Associa-
ton held a called meeting last even
ing In the Office of the secretary, T. NJ.
Hume, with President Thomas Green
in the chair The object of the meet
ing was to look over the financial and
! general situation of the local associa-
ton. This did not take long of ac-
complishment. Secretary Hume has
things in apple-pie order and in few
minutes had acquainted the directors
with the situation, which was very
satis%.c Glory to all. There is some
money still owing the association from
i subscriptions, but it is all good and
1 will be paid, so that the association
will be able to wind up the season
out of debt and in good shape for the
! coming year. A compliment of ap.
probation for his faithful work as
secretary was paid Mr.. Hume by the
association, and the meeting adjourn
ed with everyone in the best OF
spirits.
At the meeting Secretary Hume. OF
the Burlington Baseball association
exhibited with considerable satisfac
ton a bank voucher Endorsed by Man
ager E. F. Egan, of Ottumwa, receipt
ing in full for all claims on baseball
property and interests in Burlington
The last payment to Mr.. Egan for the
property he owned at the park here
was made recently and now the loca
association is the sole owner O
baseball property in the park. Fol
the first time in the history of base
ball in this city Burlington has
pennant winning team, a park and fix
lures owned exclusively by the base
ball association, and not cent o

CLASSY WORK Of
PACKER PITCHERS.
Fingers are Keeping Ned Esan's
Bunch Ahead In Race, With Only
Two Other Clubs
Challenging.
JOHNSON HITS BULL NO SIGNS OF CHANGE
Unless Pitchers Slump ottumwa Will
Likely Retain Lead-Keokuk Has
Been an In and Out
Club.

With the best pitching staff in the
Central Association the Ottumwa club
has been slipping along in consist
ent manner with Burlington the only
club in a position to really dispute
the Packers position. Egan's bunch is
playing the ball that merits the place
it is occupying. and there is no indi.
cation of slump at the present time
Burlington has been playing superior
ball during the past two weeks and is
climbing to place which makes that
club pennant possibility.
Keokuk has been one of the in and
out clubs of the circuit. The reversal
of form shown by the Indians at diff
ferent times has been one Of the puz-
zles for critics to solve. One of the
most pronounced examples of this
was when the club went nine straight
games for wins and then slumped
hopelessly in the next three series.
The only solution, however, seems to
be that the three series won were tax
/. en- with such ease because Galesburg
was on rapid decline, and Hannibal
was going poorly. Galesburg, opening
with small pitching staff, has suf-
fered slump in this department and
Hough's men have not developed a
faculty for making many runs.
The four clubs mentioned are now
occupying first division berths. OF
! the quartet Ottumwa has the best bal
anced club with pitching staff the
main asset The twirlers are pitching
/ such ball that fair defense with
some run getting ability will produce
victories Burlingtons pitching staff
is somewhat inferior, but the often,
sive strength of the club is more than
that possessed by the Ottumwa boys.
/ The race right now is between these
two clubs. Keokuk is coming, but
hardly has the class right now to dis
pute the title, while Galesburg is
/ slipping down, although will hardly
4 fall below first division.
4 A bunch Of heavy swatters have fail
ed to bring victory to the Musccatine
club, which has been slipping for the
past month. Monmouth is playing the
4 best ball in the second division and
II threatens to displace the camels for
leadership. Kewanee is fighting for
4 position, while Hannibal seems secure
/ ly locked to the cellar berth.
The race this season does not seem
to have the snap and vim that it has
had in former years. With only fair
though we'll trained machine, the
i Packers have been able to set the
pace and few clubs have risen to chal
lenge them. Several clubs have failed
to strengthen from time to time, even
though many players are on the mar
ket right now
