Citizens Employ Exports to Pass on
Peoples Gas company's Accounts.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City. May 10.--A chartered
accountant, of Chicago. and an ex-
pert utilities engineer will arrive in
this city Tuesday and will begin going
over the situation in behalf of the city
in the contest with the Peoples Gas
and Electric Company. demanding a
reduction in the price of gas to 81 and
electricity to 10 cents. Judge Edwards
recently granted the Peoples Gas and
Electric Company a temporary injunc-
ton restraining the city from the en-
forcement Of the ordinances. Immedi-
ately the city took up its part in the
contest which has resulted in securing
these two men to make valuations.
After several days negotiations the
counsel for the gas and electric COM
pany agreed with the city's counsel that
they would wave formal application on
the part Of the city to examine the
company's books and records and con-
sent to the examination being made
provided the city would use experts OF
standing. 1t is expected that the re-
port of these experts will be ready so
that the citys motion to dissolve the
temporary injunction can be made dur
ing the second week in June.

ADRIAN c. ANsoN,
Native Son, Whose Baseball Record !.
Wonder of Country.

Marshalltown has occasion to refer
with pride to many Of her former
boys, who have made good in one
way and another, and it. is always a
pleasul to noto- their successes.
A refe: nee to Pop" Arson, a native
son and. 5 fate decreed it. h frs.
white chill born in Marshailtown, is
laways in race. Arson is one of the
"gamest" OF ,he game" and while HI.
has lost more money in business ven
lures than most men have made, he is
still far from being in h down and
out" class. n is appearing in vaude-
vile sketches thruout the country.
But it is not Anson's theatrical career
that occasions this reference. 1t is be-
cause some Chicago newspaper writer.
who nae nothing else to 10 but figure
some baseball dope" has learned that.
In the history of the game, the record
of Arson as a batsman has never been
equaled, that the Grand Old Man
of Baseball" still holds the batting
record of the country.
With Same Club twenty-five Years.
Anson's old friends In Marshalltown
and they are legion. will be interested
IN lllc HSulSS OSQttClcu lioIi II pht-
ting records of the country, which ara
included in the following from the Chi
cago fans story:
In all the annals OF baseball there
is no playing record to surpass the one
that The Grand Old Man Of Baseball
Adrian c. Arson. made as a member
of the Chicago National League club.
While the national sport was grow
ing up from infancy and Chicago was
establishing itself on the baseball map
thru the achievements Of its mighty
White Stockings. Arson was building
for himself a record that challenges be-
lief even in this day of diamond O
ders.
"To remain with a club for twenty
two long years is one thing OF no little
note; to serve as and captain
Of the club in addition to playing a
regular position for twenty-one of
those twenty-five seasons Is an ever
greater mark of distinction, and to be
able to show at the close Of that
lengthy period the wonderful grand
batting average Of 1857 bespeaks a fea.
without a parallel In all the years of
the nations favorite sport.
May Never Be EauaIed.
NOWADAYS it means a mark Of honor
to a player to bat above 300 for ever
a single season. but how many Of the
modern stars will be able to keep 1t UP
for twenty-five seasons in succession
even tho not bearing the additional
burdens Of the management and cap
taincy? 1t is doubtful If Anson's record
Will ever be eaualed. 1t certainly stands
out at present in a class of it's own
and as a mark for young players to
shoot at.
"Anson started out as a third base
man with Chicago in the first year OF
the National league. 1875. and played
in the outfield in 1878. and 1t was not
until 1879 that he went to the position
in which he was to rank as one Of the
greatest Of stars.
During his twenty-five years Of ser
| vice with the Chicago Nationals Ansor
played in the remarkable total OF
$500 games, making the wonderful
average Of 1877 in batting and .975 ir
fielding. In s.947 times at bat he made
1865 hits. and out Of the sreat total OF
22.945 fielding chances he missed only
500, the latter being the astonishing
