So near and yet SO far from 500.
Muscatine plays double header
here Sunday.
The bunch continues to hit the ball
and the showing in the stick depart
ment is everything that could be de-
sired. Miller has struck temporary
slump but is expected to revive his
clubbing at once. now that he is in
familiar pastures.
Cy Pfrman was back in Keokuk for
the first time since the opening games
of the season. Pfrman IS lot bet
ter than he was on the first swing
around, especially on ball and strike
propositions. Justice has had no
complaint about the young mans work
but has received several fattering
comments on the indicatorship OF the
lad.

disband, Manush and Dick Rohn would

Senef's foot work around first is

HE HAS
PLAN TO BEAT
MARRIAGE LAW

At the present time there is rush
of out-of-town couples to be married
in this city before the new marriage
law goes into effect In discussing
the provisions of the new law a man
who appears to understand what he
is talking about, says: "The law,
like most others, is evasive. The out
of-town people who wish to get mar
ried in Wilmington can do so no
doubt without much trouble, and pos
sibly without waiting for ninety-six
hours after obtaining a license. The
bride-elect can come here today, take
up her residence at a hotel, and the
groom intended at another hotel, and
there is no compulsion on the part of
the magistrate to ask them how long
they have resided The residence
can be given as Wilmington because
they are registered at the Wilmington
hotels The minister gets the license
TO marry the young people, and he has
no right to question the length Of
their residence"
The new law is to go into effect on
May 1.

LAME MANS FEAT.

GEORGETOWN, Del. April a.
A remarkable feat was accomplished
by a lame man on Monday Of last
week when Robert Clark, an inmate
Of the Sussex County Almshouse.
who Is partly paralyzed, walked all
the way from the latter place to the
home Of his brother, two miles north
OF Milton. for a weeks visit. The
whole distance was about IA miles,
and was travelled by Clark between
sunrise and sunset Of that day It is
the first time that he had an oppor-
tunity of visiting his brother and
family for three years. and while he
was offered a ride he preferred to
walk hobbling along with his para
lytic leg as best he could and yet the
next day he felt none the worse for

With an entirely new outfit, a

scale, Ringing Brothers circus will
give two performances in this city on
Friday, May 2.
In connection with the regular per-
formance in the main tent will be

This spectacle cost the Ringing
Brothers 100000 and is an in

Each season finds this circus larg-

will be noted this year is exception

new pageant built by foreign artists

reservoir idea is unthinkable as a
solution of the problem for this one
reason: The rain fall that produces
the floods in the lower river is all

voirs could have been found TO store
the water that fell in Ohio and Indi-
ana last week, which is now passing
out TO sea between the levees along
