BIG RECEPTION
FOR RED CORRIDEN
All Business Suspended and Schools
Closed In Honor of Cubs Short
stop.

The Chicago Cubs transformed In
to Logansport yesterday and there met
with warm reception. Logansport
is the home of Red Corriden, short
stop on the Cub machine, and In Log
ansport 1t is considered a greater hon
or to be bis-leaguer than to be a
vice president, at least that is the
impression everybody got VINO watch
ed the game yesterday
Local followers of the national past
time will remember Red" who play
ed on the Indian team a couple OF
years ago. Red" made good repu-
itation here and was very popular.
They certainly think lot of him
lin Logansrort. The whole town took
dav off yesterday and >>ent out to
see the game Business was suspend
ed and the schools were closed, all
because the great Red had come
home. Besides giving Red" the glad
hand, the home folks presented him
with diamond ring the first time he
came to bat Mayor Ficlsse was or
hand to do the speech making, while
the boys stood around with barred
heads as though the ceremony was
something sacred The diamond ring
cost about $500 and the local ieweler
knocked off the profit on it. The
money was raised among the good
fellows around town, all but about sSC
of it which was dropped into tin
bucket at the gate at the entrance
to the grounds.
The Cubs did not knock the loca'
boys all over the lot, either They
just threw them down gently and took
four runs out of tha'r
then let them UP without hurting
them q bit.

STOPPED BY FOG
Packet Which Left keokuk Sunday
Evening Was Stalled All Night

SHORE LIGHTS NOT SEEN

During the
Night.
SHORE LIGHTS NOT SEEN

The steamer Keokuk arrived in p:
at 500 o'clock, this morning, sa,
the Quincy Journal, after hav-n
spent the night with her load OF pas
sengers on board, two miles above
Canton, Mo. The beat was stalled
by the fog at $3.50 o'clock last even
ing coming here from Keokuk, and
Captain Hugh Mckenzie decided that
1t would be safer to anchor and await
more light. Captain Jesse Menord,
who was at the wheel, said he could
not see the shore lights and as the
stage Of the river is none too good at
present, running In the dense fog
was made dangerous.
One hundred and twenty-eight per
pie We're on board when the captain
ordered the anchor down. 1t was a
congenial company, however, and no
one seemed to mind the fact, al
though at that time no one expected
| that it would be necessarytto remain
at anchor all night
Supper was served on board the
boat free Of charge to the passengers
and then dancing began. Every kind
of parIor game ever invented was
played while the orchestra KEEP,

| At midnight the gentlemen vacated
the cabin and the ladies were given
berths. When the state rooms had
all been fitted, cots we're BROUGHT up
from the lower deck SO that the ladies
all got good nights rest The men
slept in the engine room and almost
any other available place.
This. morning breakfast was served
on board the boat and then anchor
was raised and the packet proceeded
slowly down to LaGfange, first land
ing at Canton to let off any passen-
gers who desired to go ashore.
At LAGRANGE the fog seemed to
grow denser again and the pilot found
(, himself unable to see across the Ever
| or even to the shore signals on either
side The boat spent perhaps half an
hour in LAGRANGE after which the fog
seemed to rise slightly and she came
on down.

Early this morning the report that
the Keokuk was aground was clicu'
lated freely over the city and rela-
tives and friends of those who made
the trip to Keokuk yesterday were
somewhat alarmed. The Streckfus
boat Office was kept busy answering
telephone calls and for while the
agent was unable to give anyone
satisfactory answer. AS soon as the
boat arrived at LAGRANGE, however
the purser telephcned to the local OF
fee and assured the agent that
everything was all right.
The ladies looked as fresh as ii
they had spent the night at home,
when they stepped off the gang plank
this morning. No one seemed TO
mind the experience.
The fog on the river last night and
this morning was much denssr than
IT appeared up town. At times 1t was
impossible to see a hundred yards.
The incident will in no way dis

CANE CROP GOOD

The Eagle man saw load of ribbon
cane being sold on the streets today,
that was above an average. The gen.
tleman who brought it in stated that
all cane planted on good ground this
year and properly worked was fine.
Ribbon cane is a profitable crop; it is
as certain crop as either corn or cot
ton. and The Eagle is at loss to
understand why more Of it is not
grown in the county. A few years ago
quite a considerable acreage was
planted in this county, but in the
scramble for cotton this profitable
crop is being neglected.
