BY PAUL RRUNER.

There was but one game played in
the Rain league. alias Three Eye cir
cult, yesterday afternoon, and that
was between Quincy and Bloomington
Incidentally. one of the first heavy
squabbles Of the season was pulled
Manager Syfert. who has for several
seasons past contemplated securing a
berth in the Old Peoples home, start
ed out to pitch. 1t appears that Sy-
fert had assimilated cucumbers and
ice cream at the noon day repast and
his digestive apparatus went on a
strike. Naturally the Bloomington
chief was not in the exact frame of
mind TO donate $1,000 of his seasons
salary toward the erection of a final
haven for decrepit and moth eaten ar
biters. Hardly. When a man gets
along in years he cannot monkey with
young onions. ice cream soda, dill
pickles and cold tripe. At least not in
the same breath. 1t may have been
all right in its younger days, but the
old stomach nowadays begins to
whee%s and groan at such treatment.
In the first pace Syfert did not
like the manner in which McNulty
combed his hair. Another discordant
note was struck every time he looked
at McNulty's beak. Now, no one has
ever accused Mac of trying &c break
into the matinee idol squad and it is
true that there are other noses which
are more on the classic Grecian order.
But Macs bugle was a birthday pres
ent, is in perfect working order and
is consequently highly priced by the
owner as he has cherished it since
childhood.
REAL ANGRY.
Syfert looked at that nose for a
period. then listened to a decision
which appeared to him in the light
of irrelevant. incompetent and calling
for the conclusion Of the witness. Sy-
fert consequently interposed an OBJ
lection, which was promptly over
ruled.
Then those cucumbers began to
form an imperfect emulsion with the
ice cream, and Syfert, feeling the pre-
liminary twinges. began to utter harsh
words. His ire mounted steadily and
finally. forgetting all the rules of Ell.
quette as laid down by Mr. Hoyle. he
drew back his trusty salary mitt and
hurled his glove at the umpire's knob
You're out said Mac as he waved
his hand in the direction OF the club
house. Then Shortstop Hartford took
up the good work and was likewise
banished. And there you are.
This afternoon the Davenport ath
letes are fighting of tie with the De
catur Commodores and tomorrow the
big noise will start when Dubuque in
vades the Hayes bulwarks. The Dubs
are playing a good brand Of ball right
now. and incidentally are holding
down second place in the tabulatec
column. The management promise:
plenty Of fireworks.

Saloon Keepers Elected by Ballot in
South Dakota

Selection Of saloon-keepers by pop
ular vote became a reality in Elk
Point, town in Union county, South
Dakota, April 25. 1t is believed to be
the first time in the country that the
ballot has been utilized to determine
who shall operate saloons.
Under a law which goes into effect
July /, the number of saloons is linn
tied to one for each 500 inhabitants.
The saloons in Elk Point thus were re-
duced from five to two. 1t was de-
cided to select the two saloon-keepers
BY popular vote. Out OF six candi-
dates P. c. Kelly and w. w. Gull
laume received the most votes and
were declared elected.

man in the lacquering department
worked nine hours. The supreme
court holds that this department is not
a part of the fish canning process and
that therefore the company is guilty

Quoting extracts from the decisions
or the supreme courts Of Oregon, Okla
homa, South Dakota and Nebraska, in
support of his stand, Attorney General
w. v. Tanner, in an opinion to the
prosecuting attorney of Yakima county
holds that when the legislature passed
a law with an emergency clause as pro-
vided for under the amended constitu-
ton, declaring the same to be neces-
sary for the public peace, health or the
preservation Of state institutions that
the same cannot be subjected to re-
ferendum vote and that the courts had
no right to inquire into the constitu-
tionality of the emergency. This
means that when such law is passed
the people or the courts have nothing
to say about it.

That wharf company cannot charge
by measurement for dead hogs shipped
is the ruling made by the public ser
vice commission in passing upon a
complaint made by shipper against
the wharf company, for charging him
for more than two tons of hogs when
they weighed less than 1000 pounds.
The wharf company commended that
the hogs weighed sc cubic feet and
that 40 cubic feet is ton, but the
commission holds that under its tariffs
the company cannot charge for hogs
by measurement unless the company
specifies that they are to be measured
in their tariffs, and all shippers Of hogs
are treated alike.

The state during the years 1911 and
1912 collected total of $o4,1o7.10
representing fees for hunting licenses
and fines collected for illegal hunting,
according to figures contained in the
report of former state fish commissioner
John L. Riseland. The figures show
that in 1911 1914 licenses were ia
ken out while in 1912 52,25o were is
sued, making total Of 88,725, which
at one dollar each brought in $88, 725.
Adding to this the 1928 collected in
1911 for illegal hunting and the So
644.05 collected in 1912, brings the
total up to $94,197 for the two years.
The figures show that in Chelan county
in 1911 no hunting licenses were is
sued while in 1912 1867 were issued.
The sum Of $4,000 was collected in
fines in 1912 for illegal hunting.

Hereafter the users OF state mileage
must give a strict account OF the use
of the same, according to an announce
ment made by c. w. Clausen, state
auditor, who proposes to introduce a
new system in his department in re-
gard to mileage. He announces that
no longer will mileage books be issued
to the different state departments until
books previously issued are properly
accounted for. He has prepared slips
the same as are used by private con-
Germs which have men on the road,
upon which will be set forth in detail
the name OF the state officer or en-
ploye using the mileage, the dates up
on which the travelling was done, the
amount of mileage used, the points
between which the travelling was done,
and the purpose for which the trip was
made. This is considered a very
sweeping reform but it will enable the
state to keep close check upon the
mileage used, and for some time past
efforts have been made to get a check
on it.
