GAME FOR HOSPITAL

Board of Trade and Chamber Of
Commerce Members Have
Lame Backs Today.

The Emergency Hospital fund is a
thousand or more dollars better OF. and
twenty Washington Business men have
sore muscles today as a result Of the
baseball game between the Chamber Of
Commerce and the Board Of Trade for
the benefit Of the hospital.
The game ended II to 10 in favor Of
the Board Of Trade. but II took the
last man In the ninth inning to decide
the game.
To Richard Conner belongs most Of
the credit for the Board Of Trade VIC
the credit for making tt very close
game. The contest started badly, the
Board Of Trade making Ave runs in the
first. due to errors on the part Of the
chambers fnfield. and the chamber an
nexed three. Both teams added q two
In the third and the trade board went
far ahead In the fourth when two more
were added. But when the Chamber OF
Commerce got three men on base In the
NTH, and Mr.. Kidwell pounded the ball
to deep center for q home run. the
thing was tied up and after that It was
regular ball game.
Both teams changed pitchers At this
tuncture. Kdwell going in for the
Chamber against the strenuous ob1ec-
tions OF the Board of Trade men. and
Board Of Trade. The Chamber went
ahead in the seventh with one run, but
the Board of Trade came back In the
eighth and got two.
In the last inning II looked as IL tho
Chamber might tie things UP. Quinn
hit to Hoover. who fumbied, and the
Chamber Of Commerce runner stole
second. Captain Guy sent Engiehardt

regretting that he had not been lin on
the duck feed" He was soon made
to forget the ducks, however. and a
most enjoya ole evening was spent.
In remembrance of their long asso-
citation with Mr.. Mcfarland his former
associates presented him with fine
leather rocxer. Stewart Eason made
the presentation and referred to the
high esteem in which Mr.. Mcfarland
had been held by his subordinates dur

partment. Mr.. Mcfarland responded
with some feeling. and Postmaster A.

F;fty-E;ght Years
Ago First County
Newspaper Appeared

Fifty eight years ago this month
In October. 1S55--Marshall county saw
the publication of her first newspaper,
and hailed it as the first real step to-
ward the civilization Of new coun-
try.
1t was in Lafayette. now the town
of Albion, that the Central Journal
made its initial bow 70 the public. three
years after the town had been found
ed. There was not another newspaper
within a radius Of 100 miles. ana
naturally the people welcomed the
small effort with delight.
]. w. Trip & Co.. were the owners
Of the paper, and +. j. Wilson. father
Of City Clerk j. j. Wilson, was its edi-
tor. The paper did not prove tinan-
cial success, however, from the fact
that there were but few people to be-
come its patrons. A year later the
business was sold, and the late Il. N.
Chaplin acquired the property for $500
in gold. He took the late r. Fl. Barn
hart into partnership, the name OF the
paper was changed to the Central Iowa
Journal. and in 1858, with Barnhart in
charge. the paper was moved to Mar
shalltown and became the Marshall
Times. Eventually this paper became
what is now the Times-Republican.
The first issue of the Central Jour-
nal contained lengthy and glowing
account of the improvements in pros
pect in "our new homes" The article
was devoted more expressly to the i'm
provements along Arney bend, where a
good-sized settlement had sprung up.
In the second issue a lengthy COM
munication signed by John Racy," Of
Mormon Ridge. urged all the people in
the community to support the new
paper.
