Meeting at 7:45 This Evening Of the
Fans in the Superior Court Room
Win Determine
That.
MONEY MUST BE HAD
Next Tuesday, Salaries Of the Players
Fall Due and no Money in the
Treasury to Pay
Them.

Everything depends on action taken
tonight at the public meeting in the
superior court room, as to whether or
not Keokuk will retain its franchise
in the Central Association and finish
the present season in the league. Word
from the directors OF the Keokuk base.
ball association today, was to the
effect that unless the $1,000 needed,
was raised before next Tuesday, base
ball could not be continued here. An
effort will probably be made by COM
mittees appointed to collect enough
to tide the club over to the end of
the season. There Is not nearly
enough money in the treasury to pay
the salaries Of the team next Tuesday.
President M. F. Baker and Louis
Sterne have figured closely from every
possible angle and state that 1t will
not be possible to continue in the
Central unless the money is raised
Immediately. The club, as is known,
started the season under heavy ex-
lpense, at least $500 being spent for
players because of starting late The
grand stand was purchased from the
Joy Athletic field; the fence surround
ing the park and other repairs made at
an expense Of 500 and the 500 fine
paid to the national commission in
the Madigan case which ate up $1,000
of the money subscribed at the start.
The attendance has not been as
good as last year, although 1t was ex-
pected that 1t would be better because
the dam had been completed.
While the club has 5000 coming from
the sale of Madigan, and there are
Fourth of July receipts to be received.
amounting to 5000, this small amount
will be far insufficient to meet the
expenses. The week day games as
Figured from financial standpoint,
are total loss and the Sunday games
! do not make up for the loss during
the other days of the week.
The directors believe that there is
tenough sporting blood in the city to
| See the team through the season as it
would be unreasonable to expect any
individual or two or three men to
stand the expense for the remaining
seven weeks. The baseball public is
urged to attend the meeting at 7:45
in the superior court room, Seventh
and Main streets, this evening, and
help outline ways and means Of keep
ing the city in organized ball circles
for the remaining half Of the season.

BLIGHT AFFECTING ENGLISH
HAWTHORNE.

Owners of the English Hawthorne
are requested to inspect their trees
for blight. 1t can be readily dis
covered by the apparent dried up or
burned appearance of the leaves. A
discoloration of the bark on the
tree is another way in which can
be discerned whether or not the
blight has affected the tree.
State Horticulturist w. H. Bullock
says to cut out all the dead limbs
and burn them, so that the blight
may not spread. In trimming the
dead branches or twigs Mr.. Bullock
advises cutting below where any
signs of blight are in evidence. Also
that tools used in cutting out blights
Of any kind should be disinfected
with turpentine or formaldehyde to
prevent the spread of the disease.
During his conversation with us
Inspector Bullock stated that the
English Hawthorne in North Park
was badly affected with the blight
and that the dead limbs ought to be
cut and burned.
II you possess one of these beauti-
full trees inspect it carefully and If
the blight is working it's deadly
work take every precaution to check
it before it kills the tree.

CURRENCY PLAN HAS
BEEN AGREED UPON
PROVIDES FOR EXCHANGE OF
TWO PER CENT. BONDS BEAR
ING CIRCULATION PRIVI-
LEGE.

Heated Discussion Between Two
Over the Rediscount Feature of
the Measure-Democrats Do Not
Agree.
The much disputed plan for re-
funding the two per cent. govern
ment bonds, which form the basis of
the present currency, was perfected
Wednesday by the Democrats of the
house banking and currency commit
tee in their consideration Of the ad-
ministration currency bill. The pro-
vision, as finally agreed to after
three days of discussion, provides
for the exchange of the two per
cent. bonds which bear the circula-
tion privilege for three per cent,
twenty-four bonds, exempt from
federal, state and municipal taxa
ton, both as to income and princi-
pal"
With other changes made in the
bill the refunding section will retain
the circulation feature of the present
two per cent. bonds up to the final
date of their redemption.
The committee also approved a
redrafted section providing, that the
proceeds of the governments par
ticipation in the business of the new
federal reserve banks shall be ap-
piled to the reduction of the bonded
Indebtedness of the nation.
Two Democrats became involved
in a heated discussion of the re-dis-
count features of the bill. Disagree
ment arose over the provision re-
quiring one federal reserve bank to
re-discount paper of another federal
reserve bank and several members
expressed the opinion that some
limitation should be imposed upon
the federal reserve board in its ex-
ercise of this power.
When the committee adjourned
the re-discount section was still un.
der discussion.

CARING FOR FRUIT TREES.

w. H. Bullock, district State hor-
ticulturist, has inspected Paupack,
Palmyra and Cherry Ridge town
ships. He will take up the work in
Mount Pleasant township in the
near future. Mr.. Bullock is en-
ployed by the state to inspect apple
and other trees in search of blight.
The San Jose scale is found in sever
al orchards throughout Wayne
county and in many instances Mr..
Bullock has found the scale when
farmers were not aware that their
trees or orchards were affected. Mr..
Bullock gives a remedy that will save
the trees, otherwise many valuable
trees will die for want of attention
and care. In his travels, Mr.. Bull
lock comes across a number of dis
eases affecting trees on his trips
through the country of which he
makes notes and reports to State
Zoologist H. A. Surface.
Mr.. Bullock's work is beneficial
and is appreciated by every farmer
in the county.

BRIAR AND BRAMBLE
COVER The GRAVES
OLD METHODIST CEMETERY
IN BEAUTIFUL HONESDALE.

Plot Where Rests Remains of Pion-
eer Residents of Maple City Sadly
in Need of Scythe and Axe
Charitable Act for Authorities.
Have you visited the old Metho-
dist cemetery lately? If you have
we warrant it made your heart ache
owing to the deplorable condition
and shape you found that old bury
ing ground, where rests the remains
of hundreds of Honesdales departed
loved ones. 1t made the writer feel
shameful, although he has no rela-
tives laid at rest in this beautiful
spot Shameful because the town
of Honesdale, to whom the piece of
property was decided several years
ago as burying ground, has allow
ed it to remain uncared for, forgot
ten and neglected.
The Brotherhood of the Homes
dale Methodist church assumed
charge of the cemetery until it's
treasury became depicted and since
that time, nearly three years ago,
not a briar has been cut, bramble
hewn down or weed destroyed.
Isn't this pitiful and sad state of
affairs? The cemetery does not be-
long to the Methodist church, but
was given that name owing to the
burying ground being close to the
old Methodist church, which is now
tenement house. The plot belongs
to the town proper and now that the
Brotherhood of the Methodist church
is unable to care for this resting
place of the dead, it is no more than
right and proper that the town give
the place attention and care.
The Brotherhood members con-
tributed time and money in cleaning
up the cemetery few years ago.
Trees were chopped down, that rep
resented several years growth,
briars, elders and young trees were
thick, but after a few weeks the
cemetery took on a different aspect.
What pity that it was not followed
up. The ground was ploughed, but
alas, it was left in that condition. 1t
was not narrowed and to-day great
ridges are left on the graves of the
departed. The headstones are
down, irregular and in a dilapidated
condition. And all this in the
beautiful borough of Honesdale.
Can it be possible?
ooh! how pitiful in a whole city
full, friends have they none"

riding on a west bound train at Otis

head by stick of timber.
The Port Jervis Gazette in record

on a freight car was open and
crashed into the window of the
smoking car. Pieces of glass were
hurled the length of the car and
many of the men who were occupy
ing it were cut about the face, head
and hands. A large piece of board
went through the window and struck
a man in the side.

Eyre, Pa, was hit in the forehead by
a piece of wood and a large lump on
the left side showed the injury which
it inflicted. He was also cut over

dows in the next coach were cracked
and the wood work of the smoking
car No. 1878 was scraped by the
door of the freight car"
