THREE ERRORS DID IT
Means Had Passed Ball, Whitaker
Heaved Wild to First and Kline
Failed to Block Thrown
Ball.

Keokuk and Kewanee battled vi
ciously for twelve innings at HubingerI
park. It was an exciting battle from
beginning to end with many opportuni-
ties for either side to bat out a victory.
For inning after inning both CLUBS
furnished the most interesting kind of
basebali-the kind OF a game that
should have been decided by four
base knock over the left field fence.
Then the fans would have been salts
fed, even TO lose But nothing like
this happened, for KeWanee made the
fourth and deciding run on great
fluke, or rather a series OF flukes and
won, 4 to 5.
TWO men we're down In the twelfth
and the inning seemed as good as gone
for the visitors Bender struck out
and Catcher Means missed the third
strike. The batter reached first safe
ly and a moment later Whitaker
heayed to Seneff to catch Bender off
the bag. Instead of doing this he
heaved past seneff and Bender raced
around to third. To this bag the ball
was thrown. Kline did not play the
long throw well and allowed the ball
to hop through him and Bender
scored. This is the way one of the
most exciting games ever played on
the local grounds was terminated
So close vas the game throughout
the twelve innings and SO many
chances did the clubs have that the
fans were on edge at every minute Of
the play. At one stage of the play a
Kewanee player knocked one over the
left field fence with two on bases
The drive was called foul. and was not
more than foot outside the line.
Patrick, the recruit, started the
twir1ing for Keokuk and escaped seri
Gus trouble until the seventh, when
the visitors began to find him. Ke
vance scored run and In the eighth
scored two more before Patrick was
1erked and Whitaker went in in his
place, retiring the side after two were
down.
Beard worked for the visitors ant
did well in pinehss Keokuk had thr
bases clogged In nearly every inning
but could not send across the runs
sufficient to put the game on fee.
There were three double playa II
the game and several men we're chop
ped down at the plate The score:

There was considerable dried
flesh on the backs of the hands
and the leaders were dried stiff
and hard. One of the hands
was cut off at the wrist while the
other was cut shorter and some
of the wrist bones are missing.
Among some of the old timers

the citizens of both cities"

The Mines.

With the exception of a slight
decrease in the price paid for Sec
ond-grade zinc sulphides, the ore
market closed steady last week.
Buying was brisk, but the total
shipments from the district were
not so large as usual. The total
output of the mines in the entire
district was practically the same
as the pre- sious week. The base
price was $45.5O a ton, 90 per
cent metallic zinc. The best set
Element price reported was $47, a
decrease of 81 since the previous
week,
Spelter fell off several points
during the week and closed at
$5.15. One week ago spelter was
quoted on the East St. Louis
market at $5.25. No decided ad'
vance in the price of ore is expect
ed while the spelter market re-
mains in such an unsatisfactory
condition, operators say.
Lead ore was in only moderate
demand at $50. so a ton, the same
as the previous week. The price
paid for lead has remained the
same for several weeks and there
are no indications of an advance.
The output last week was slight

week.

Found Two
Human Hands.
Deputy Sheriff Hardwick Now
Trying to Uncover Mystery
Connected With the Find Of
Nelson Natter.

Is Galena trying to get on the
map, or is the following story
true? At any rate, it appeared
in Saturdays Galena Times:
"The finding of two human
hands in the shed at the rear OF
J. B. O'Reilly's property on Short
street, between Tenth and list
streets, Friday morning by Mel
SON Natter has occasioned more
excitement in Galeua than any
find made in recent years. The
hands appear to be those OF a
woman but where they came
from or who is responsible for
them having been wrapped in an
old newspaper and thrown into
the shed building is a mystery
that may never be solved. The
property in question was recently
vacated by L. A. Guthridge, for
mer superintendent of the city
schools, and the paper in which
the hands were wrapped was an
Independence, Kan, Times OF
the date of June Is, 1909. The
label on the paper bore, the name
of L. A. Guthridge.
ssThe gruesome find was made
by Natter while he was hunting
for Junk and Immediately after
the discovery he notified Deputy

premises in an effort to uncover

both young and old in its varied
programs and is certain to Guilt
yate high ideals of living and
thought. 1t is a rising tide, and
THE most American of all our
institutions" The perpetuity OF
our Chautauqua depends entirely
upon your patronage and your
enthusiasm. If you believe in it,
boost it and plan to attend every
meeting and tell your friends OF
the good things that are in store.
TO BECOME PERMANENT.
In presenting the program the
management is not building for
the present year only but for the
future as well and it is the aim
to give a program of such high
ideals and excellent character as
to merit your patronage and in
sure a permanent Chautauqua
Assembly.
PROGRAM UNExcELLED.
The program is one of the
strongest and best that has ever
been offered in the state, and in
cludes, besides lecturers of ma
tional note music and other fea-
lures, the very best which genius
can devise or money procure.
The holders of season tickets get
for only a few pennies lectures
and concerts and entertainments
which would ordinarily cost them
not less than fifty cents and from
that to a dollar each. Every
right minded citizen of the COM
munity should give his loyal sup
port and cooperation.

than usual, owing to the strong
demand and favorable weather
conditions.
The Chautauqua Idea.
GREAT UPLIFTING FORCE,


In other years people of the
towns, villages, hamlets and
countryside could only read Of
the people of distinction, and
could rarely see or hear them
without taking long pilgrimages.
Now, by means of the Chautau'
qua the best and the greatest tai
emit is brought at insignificant
cost to our very doors. The
Chautauqua idea is one of the
great moral and educational for
ces in the country.
AwAKENs PUBLIC CONSCIENCE.
The great reforms that have
recently swept over our country
are largely traceable to the pres.
ence of strong men who have
spoken so fearlessly on the Chau-
tauqua platform during the last
dozen years, and the millions of
people who have gathered at
these annual meetings to listen
to them have had their conscien-
ces SO awakened that they have
demanded that those in authority
should institute these reforms.
EDUCATIONAL, AUTHORIZATIONS
AL, NoN-PoLTTIcAL.
The Chautauqua movement is
thoroughly undenominational and
non-political and people of all
creeds and parties commingle.
The Chautauqua is organized On
high grounds and has high aims.
1t appeals to the thoughtful and
the cultured, and seeks to dis
place some forms of amusement
that fare unworthy and are fraught
with danger.
A VACATION THAT EETKRTAINs
AND BUILDS.
More and more in these siren
uous days people feel the need Of
a little vacation. Earnest peo-
pie are hardly willing to waste
time in q vacation which does not
bring them a little intellectual
uplift; hence, the phenomenal
growth of the chsntauqua move
