Sugar was his special theme He pre- |
dicted ten-cent sugar He showed that |
II had advanced within a few weeks from
4.65 to 7.5 cents a pound. This he said
was due to the Democratic party Juggling
with tariff rates when it had little ex-
perience and did not realize the effect of
the changes it had made.

avenue florist, to find the Duke, so that
papers, can be served on him In suit
to recover $3.50, which 1t is alleged the
Duke owes on florist bill. Louis F..

for $3.50, but 1t came back marked mo

In March 1900, the Duke married Miss

A private of the East Lancashire regi-

nation they gave us he'll. We could do
nothing with them. When the front
row go over-iust drop dead-their pals
pile up the bodies and make a wall OF
them. Then they fire from behind them.
AT one place we were outnumbered
seven to one, so the officers told US. our
losses were not very heavy, though.
"One horse artillery battery lost all
It's men except two and sergeant
major but they managed to put eleven
German guns out of action.
we have had very rough time Of IL:
fighting all day and marching all night.

| Sporting Views.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: keokuk has
had hard time Of it this season and
at one period it was thought that. It
might follow in the footsteps OF OF.
tumwa, but fortunately, under the ex
cellent management OF Mr.. Sweet and
new life that was put into the direc-
tOrate. It prospered during the end of
the season and is closing the year
with record that can hardly pro-
duce anything save enthusiasm among
the fans. 1t is therefore likely that
Keokuk will be counted on - one Of
the cities that will remain In the
league next season. AS for the other
cities that make up the circuit, Bur-
lington, Muscatine. Cedar Rapids.
Waterloo, Marshalltown and Clinton,
there is no question. These cities
may be relied upon as staying IN the
league and making up the bulk Of the
circuit. and II Keokuk stays in. the
only change to be expected will be
the introduction once more of Gales
burg, whose attendance Is such as to
inspire fans both in that city and in
the circuit at large with the wisdom
OF such an arrangement. The war
has had little effect for the present
time on minor league baseball and 1T
is not likely that its influence will be
felt next season. In fact, the directors
look forward with q good deal Of en-
thusiasm toward the management Of
1915. and they are prone to say that
1t will be even a better season than
the one just coming to a close Pres
ident Justice has carried his part OF
the affairs of the league through the
season with distinction. and there isl
little doubt that he will retain the
office which he has so eminently fill
ed for the last four or five years.
There has been less trouble and thel
least number OF protested games this
season than in the history OF the
league and 1t Is largely due to his
management Of affairs that this eA
cellent record has been made.
