AN ABOMINATION
Park Meetings Take UP the Topic and
Matter is Entertainlngiy Discussed
Thursday Evening.

"Spiritualism; Of What Power is
1t?' was the topic of the lecture at XIII
bourne park last evening. From the
large crowd which was present to hear
the discussion 1t was very evident thar
the people have been puzzled to know
just what spiritualism really is. The
Bible is very plain on the subject de-
clarfng that spiritualism and div 1ing
by familiar spirits is an abomination
unto the Lord
The subject TO rthis evening is to be
The Millennium" There are several
distinct ideas in existence on this
topic, relative to the time when this
period will begin, what events win
mark Its opening anu closing and
what takes place during the millen-
mum.
The Bible definition Of the millen.
mum will be made plain by the speak
er this evening and also what is said
about the events transpiring at the
opening and closing Of the period. The
special work which will be carried on
In heaven during this time WILL be
fully explained in the lecture tonight.
The lecture begins at eight o'clock.

Waterloo Reporter of last night has TO
say about an alleged frame-up he and
Tom Hayden, owner Of the Burlington
base ball club, have arranged. Judging
from what the scribe up yonder says,
a dope peddler can hit the bull about
as easy as the deposed Dan Senno of
last year could. Here's what he
spreads:
A faint glimmer Of suspicion that a
bond of sympathy stronger than at
first imagined exist sbetween Presr-

citation and Owner Tom Hayden Of the
Burlington club, has begun to perme-

chiefly by the Keokuk and Burlington
attack on Waterloo in protesting
| games on the allegation that this
club was over the player limit. The
protests received ready hearing by
President Justice who Las evidently
changed his attitude quite abruptly
regarding protested games since the
/ Keokuk meeting when he made the fol
lowing statement in the presence OF
seven club directors.
"You fellows will have to have a

HE WHITES A DOZEN
Especial to The Gate City.l

MUSCATINE, July 25. - Albert
Gould put the kibosh on all those
knock home trade residents of this
place, yesterday, by emulating the IL
lustrious example of the esteemed
Mr.. Zackert and shutting the Indians
out. Score to 0. In the classic
words OF old Bill Shakespeare he had
something on the ball besides the
cover and kept something on 1t every
minute. He had one bad inning, that
is bad for him, for in the eighth in
ming not a single Indian famed. A
reorganization OF the doings of the
Favorite Son will be found in the
score attached hereto and OF course
& 1t is necessary to double up on the
matter but for fear you may have
overlooked it, Gould struck out twelve
men, walked two and allowed but five
4 blows, two OF which were of the de-
cided scratch variety. Altogether the
pleasant afternoon.
Considerable Theft.
Both teams began the game as
though they meant business, the only
difference was that George Manush
and his pals didn't and the Muskies
did. After the first half Of the initial
frame had been disposed of, things
began to pop. Masters led off for the
locals with base crack. A passed
ball gave him second but he was
thrown out at third by McGaffigan
who fielded roller from Harrell's
willow. Danny then gave an exhibit
ton of high class burglary. He hung
around first for a few minutes ana
then started for second, pulling de-
layed steal. Bromley then walked
and together with Harrell executed a
double pilfer, Harrell travelling 20
third. Sours also walked and Harrell
scored on felder's choice In which
Sours was killed at second and Kat2
reached first Things ran smoothly
along until the fourth and then |,
was no one but the Fayorite Son who
put the game in the refrigerator
Heine got double out of his system
and Hasbrook landed safely on frs
when he laid down perfect sacrifice
but Manush dropped the ball. Curtis
rolled a cutter to McGaffigan wht
threw Hasbrook out at second. Hui
then drew walk and Gould slammed
out the timely blow. 1t should hav'
been good for one sack but Mile
allowed it to drip through his fin
and the bases were cleaned.
