RAILROAD TAX DEFEATED.

Tuesday the people of Lafayette
said by their votes in a very emphat-
&c manner they did not want the
New Iberia, Lafayette and North
western Railroad at a cost Of $751;
900. The number for was 100. with
as against. The valuation for was
S2O2, 400 and against $4So.S09.
The vote does not necessarily
mean that Lafayette will not give aid
and encouragement to another rail-
road, but the talk and objections ex-
rressed make 1t plain that q right OF
way d about the size Of the bonus

their opposition to giving q railroad

pie behind the road should decide to
make another proposition, which is
hardly likely to be the case. Mr..

LONDON. Nov. Sit is an open
secret in court circles that Queen
Mary's efforts to bring her family in
to greater prominence than they have
hitherto enjoyed, are being seriously
hampered by the continual pickering

der of Teck.
The brothers, with their wives and
families have been occupying apart

to the strained relations existing be-

MOSCOW. Nov. b.-A wholesale
disciplining of army officers here has
taken place under direct orders from
the car, on account Of an incident
during his inspection of the Second
Infantry recently.
While his majesty was passing
along the lines, soldier suddenly
threw down his rifle, stepped ont of
ranks and fell On his knees. Several
officers hurled themselves upon him.
Later 1t was learned that he merely
wanted to appeal for his discharge
from the army on the ground that he
mad been forced to enlist In place OF
MS brother who had been drafted.
The cars fright quickly gave way
10 rage, and he ordered the comman-
der OF the military district to receive
a severe note, the commander OF the
army corps a caution, the commander
OF the division reprove, the com
mandsf OF the regiment a public rep
rlmand, the commander Of the battai-
ION to which the soldier belonged an
order to reIgn, the captain OF the

TEN CLUB LEAGUE
Manager Of Kenkuk Team VIII be De-
cided at Local Meeting Next
Week When New Officers
Arc Elected.

It Is probable that the annual meet
ing OF the Keokuk Baseball Associa-
ton will be held the first OF next
week according to the statement Of
Secretary Sterne this afternoon. The
exact date has not yet been an
nounced.
President Justice has called the
annual meeting OF the league for the
Burlington Hotel at Burlington next
Thursday and the question Of changes
in the league will be thoroughly gone
over by the directors. Several Of these
changes are talked of and 1t would
not surprise fans in the Central Asso-
citation to see both Hannibal and
Galesburg drop out of the circuit.
Cedar Rapids and Waterloo are the
principal claimants for berth in the
Central Association Just now and it
is quite likely that one Or both OF
these clubs will be in the league
when the curtain goes up.
Another phase that Is given much
credence by many fans is the talk
of ten club league, with both Cedar
Rapids and Waterloo being admitted
and the balance of the league kept in
tact as it has always been. The one
objection that has been made to this
was we'll expressed by Hugh Fuller
ton in in the Wake Of the News' q
few days ago, when he said that nine
losers and only one winner would
break up almost any league.
This is especially true of the Cen
trail Association. for many OF he
cities demonstrated last season THAT
they could not stand a losing team.
Second division teams, with the ex-
ception of Muscatine proved hard
losers and with another city In that
division, it would hardly seem pos
sible to keep the league going through
ia full schedule.
President Justice will attend the
meeting of the national board at Mil
waukee, November 11th, and it is pos
|sible that Secretary Sternc of the To-
cal club will also attend. Many Of
the Central Association officers. have
signified their intention of being there
when the meeting opens.
The managership of the Keokuk
club is a matter of much debate
among the fans. George Manusch. Har-
ry Kelly and Hamilton, formerly OF
Hannibal, are the most prominent
candidates for the Job, with the odds
probably favoring the first mentioned.
His hitting will be big factor with
whatever club he joins next year and
the bugs of Keokuk insist that they
have a hitting club, II they are to
play ball next year
Harry Kelly is also likely candi
date. popular with the directors and
players and always giving the best he
has in stock to his club. He made
many friends in Keokuk last summer
and would no doubt make good man
to handle the playing end of the team.
He will be apt to have a good
chance to land the fat Job next sea-
son.
