MCCONNELL A MINOR
Former Pownal Ball Player Leaves
Big League for Good.

Is "Ambie" Mcconnell all In as a
big Lacquer? This is the question
that more than one follower OF the
game has been asking the past few
months and there are a variety OF
answers forthcoming. In spite of the
great rally made by the former Pow
nal boy at the close Of last season,
when his hard hitting and sensation
al fielding was the talk OF the base
ball world, the general opinion seems
to be that his trade by the Chicago
White Sox to the Toronto Eastern
league club marks "Ambie's" finish
as a major league player.
One OF the high officials Of the Chi
cago club was in Boston not long
ago and he was asked a number OF
questions concerning McConnell's
case as the former Pownal player is
great favorite in the Hub, having
played with the Red Sox a couple OF
seasons. According to this party
who should be one the inside, Am
bie's" big league days are over. He
declared that McConnell's wing was
gone and 1t was effort for him to
throw to first base while the bad
knee, which has bothered him for
several seasons, is liable to put him
out of business at any time. In fact
he is so liable to injury that the few
weeks OF the season which he might
shine for a team would hardly make
up for the many days In which he
would hold down the bench while on
the hospital list.
The Chicago official stated that
had there been good prospects for
Mcconnell being in condition another
year the White Sox would have never
allowed him to get out OF their
hands. The fact that no other big
league club has secured his services
from Toronto goes to show that few
believe "Ambie" will come back.

According to Belief Of Some, Many

to Shut Down as
Result.

FORT MADISON, Feb. e. When
the big dam is completed at Keokuk
and the Mississippi has been checked
sufficiently to create capacious lake
mile and more wide and forty-five
miles long, it is feared that one of
the most extensive industries afforded
by the Father of Waters to the resi-
dents of this vicinity, that of gather
| ing mussel shells, will be impaired il
not destroyed.
Some of the gatherers are inclined
to view the matter in different
light, believing that good results can
be obtained by the use of the slower
method Of fishing with shell bars,
| quite unlike what the name implies.
1t consists of two or more lengths OF
cord with hook attached, the hook
/ having sufficient weight to rest on the
bottom Of the river. The hook is then
| dragged over the mollusc. lying dor
mant, and which, when it feels the
contact of the hook, closes it's shell

i to the surface.
4 Below Fort Madison are the Des
4 Moines rapids which are also to be
y submerged in the deepest waters.
Smelling there is and has been for a
i number of years hazardous but profit
4 able. At the bottom of the rapids
whirlpools are almost inexhaustible
i beds, many feet thick, formed by the
I waters swirling currents. With the
4 advanced stage of water the Smelling
Il on the rapids will cease.
4 Although the coming of the dam
will deprive many shelters of theil
means of living, it will not affect the

The cessation of the nussel shell

stretch of the river have found in TIL

numbers to make the local pearl buy

Apparatus for Finding Water.

The hazel twig as a water finder has
been supplanted by a remarkable In
vention, consisting of simple ap-
paratus. The principle on which the
instrument works is the measuring Of
the strength Of electric currents
between the earth and the atnns-
phere. These are always strongest IN
the vicinity of subterranean water
courses, the flowing waters of which
are charged with electricity to a GER
tain degree. The apparatus takes
the form of a box-shaped instrument
fixed ON tripod. with dial OH which
a needle is used to indicate the pres
ence of water. II the needle remains
stationary it may be taken for grant
ed that no subterranean spring ex-
lists; the spot where the greatest
movement Of the needle is obtained is
that where well boring operations
should be made.
