 To their long list of victories, Moley, Rick & Co.,, added twin win over the Pelicans, to 1 and 10 to O. In thet early battle Bill Foxen held the Pelicans handi- ly to five hits and one run, while the Barons annexed three tallies off of the same number of safeties. Ray Boyd, a fire fettle, handed the Pells a conl- plete set of blanks in the afternoon ses- sion while the Barons annexed 1J runs of "Buck" Weaver.
 The Pelicans fielded in miserable style, annexing total of 10 errors in one days work in the field. Birmingham had eight less and both pitchers received jam up backing McBride's home run to left field with Carroll on base in the morn- runs, while Jimmy Johnston put crimp in the hope of the Pels by driving out a four sack hit with Marcan. Mcbride and McGilvray perched upon the hassocks as the result of Weaver's poor success in locating the platter.

Boyd Was Effective

Ray Boyd was decidedly effective in the afternoon battle. He allowed the as- piring Pels but five hits, one of which was an infeld safety. Although two of the four clean smashes were doubles, he frightened up and held the following bats men. To show the consistency of his twirllng he did not allow more than one hit an inning and walked but two men. Two fast double plays, an excellent return by Mcbride and the fast work of the infleld featured the contest
 Buck Weaver, the opposing twirler, tried to accomplish another victory over the Barons. as he had done in New Or leans tho week before. His speed was noticeable only for its absence, his curves did not break and his control was miserable And, added to this, he was hit in the pinches and received poor back ing from the Pei Aid society
 With two out in the first Boyd walked Clancy, who stole second base. Dilger peg to catch him was wide and Marcan barely stopped 1t. However Ellam backed him up and threw Clancey out when he tried to take third. In the Barons' half of the initial round, Weaver walked two fiIt no opa gcorad

In the third. however, the Barons be- gun operations. Boyd opened the inning by receiving Weayers fourth donation. Marcan hit to right field and Hendryx tired to catch Boyd at third. The heave was high and Boyd scored, but the um- pire made him return to third base on account of the ground rules Carroll lined out to Rohe and Almedia struck cut but Mcbride drew Weaver's fifth pass, filling the bases. McGivray se- cured another, forcing Boyd across. Then Jimmy Johnston hit a home run to the groove in center field and all scored.
 Then Umpire Kellum, who worked alone as Breitenstein was indisposed, ruled that Johnston could take but two bases on the hit. After several argu- ments had been advanced by the players and Manager Molesworth the umpire ruled that. as the ball did not go into the crowd 1t would be credited as q home run and all the runners were safe

the purchase price named in his deed.
and that the war department records
show that the company has been gen
erous In its dealings with the owners
of property to be flooded, over eight
hundred of whom have been settled
with amicably.
The island is timber which must be
cut off by war department order, ex-
cept about twenty or thirty acres,
sometimes farmed in corn, and In
cludes a small three room house, use
full for summer camping; small barn
and few outbuildings. When dead
lock occurred about the value OF the
island the secretary Of war took
hand and applied the act of congress
giving the United States the right to
condo mn land in such cases. The mat
ter is Of special importance to the
government, as the use of the new

hoe TROUBLE
TYPHOID fever
CHEMIST DECLARES HOG DIS
EASE RAVAGlNG IOWA HERDS
is NOT PLAGUE.

Muscatine, Dec. 24.-That the dis
ease winch has devastated whole
herds of stock in Scott and other
counties in the eastern part of the
state Is not hog cholera, but rather
typhoid fever, is the statement which
! has been made by DR.. Paul Raden'
hansen, we'll known Davenport
chemist.
Hogs and other animals are SUBJ
ject to typhoid just as humans are,
he says, and whenever the bacilli
become sufficiently numerous in their
blood the disease breaks out. Being
a. germ disease it is contagious among
animals just as 1t is among humans
the chief difference in its spread be-
ing the fact that the animals heru
together and hogs especially are kept
among the most unsanitary conditions.
1t is possible for animals to become
infected with typhoid from milk, wa
ter or other agencies carrying the
disease germs, just as it is for people
to contract the ailment in this man
ner.
Cholera is Sweeping.
Hog cholera, as it is commonly
called. has been known to be an In
fectious disease, the plague sweeping
off whole droves when it has once
made it's appearance, and spreading
from one farm to another with
deadliness that made one almost be-
lieve that the very air the animals
breathed was infected.
In many cases, says DR.. Radenhau-
sen, cholera is not typhoid, but COM
plication of typhoid pneumonia anu
other diseases. This is proved by the
many different symptoms Of the dis
ease commonly called hog cholera.
The high rate of mortality among ami
mails from these diseases, which in
humans are not considered highly
dangerous except in extreme cases. Is
largely accounted for by the compar-
alive difficulty in caring for sick ami
mails.
Vaccine as a preventative of ty-
phoid in humans has now come into
common usage and has proven ell
fective in most instances, but as yet
has not been applied to animals.
There have been large rewards or
fered for a hog cholera cure and vet
erinarians have been working to dis
cover a remedy for years, but the re-
cent epidemic in Scott county the past
year, which has caused the loss or
thousands of dollars, has proved that
a cure is as far away as ever.
There is hog cholera, but the
germ in this disease IS not as widely
spread as is commonly supposed.

It is believed the highwaymen
boarded the train at lies Junction
which is an outer yard off Springfield
an order point. They rode on the
blind baggage until the train was a
short distance out of the junction when
they covered the engineer and fireman
with guns. compelling them to stop
and uncouple the express cars and
engine. After firing a few shots at
passengers who ventured out to learn
the cause of the delay, the robbers
compelled the engineer to ride down
the road some distance where they
ordered the express messenger out OF
his car and proceeded in their attempt
to blow open the safe. The safe with
stood the dynamite charge and they
were compelled to flee before securing
any booty of value.
