MARSHALLTOWN, iowa, July lG.
The four-veteran rule of the Central
association will remain in effect until
at least the end of the present season.
This was settled here this morning
when club and league officials met
here for the midsummer meeting of
the league.
Outside of disposing of this matter
which had promised to cause trouble
at the meeting, little else was done
this morning. The only other matter
of Importance disposed Of was that OF
taking care of the large number OF
postponed games.
1t was decided, after some time
spent in discussion, that the postpone
games may not be played If both man
ayers agree II the visiting managers
insist upon playing the game and the
home club manag or. still refuses, the
visiting manager may appeal to the
league president, who may order the
game played. In the event the home
club manager still refuses to play the
game it may be forfeited to the visit
ing club.
No Protests Against PIayers.%
Threatened protests against ta9
playing of several men on Differed
clubs did not develop. 1t had been
stated before the meeting that sev'"
al clubs were going to the meeting
prepared to prove that Egan hal
violated the four-veteran rule prac
tically the entire season and threats
were made that large number OF
games won by his club. would be
thrown out No protests, of any kin
against any of the clubs. were made
| however. .....
Threatened protests against several
of the umpires employed this season
also failed to materialize. Waterlo
and one or two other clubs were eX
pected to make protests against one
or two of the umpires, but none was
made.

Between this bridge and local

about. Suppose III. j. Z. or some
other enterprising citizen was to
put enough expense on this bridge
to save it. and then close it up for

over it.
1T ought not to be a difficult
matter for a few of the residents
OF the west end of the CITY to get
together and appoint a working
committee to DEVISE ways and

with it save a valuable portion of

CLEANUP WEEK

The Press is in receipt of Bullc-
tin No. %, issued by the Potter
County Board of Health. entitled
''Clcan Up Week. We regret that
we are not able to copy it entire.
We quote two of the closing para
graphs, as follows:
"Some of our citizens think it
strange that Health Boards do not
enforce strictly and to the letter
all of the law, rules, and regula-
tIons relating to the disposal of
garbage, refuse. and waste. and
order cleanup everywhere and
every place. They forget that san-
i%tation does not advance by law
but by education. They do not take
into consideration that there exists
q contempt for law in general, and
for sanitary law i'm particular.
They do not stop and think that
the average citizen of the rural
community and the small town
does not appreciate the value of
modern sanitation as does the citi-
zen of the city. They do not
realize that the Health Officer WHO
would attempt to enforce strictly
and to the letter, all of the laws.
rules, and regulations of sanitation
would very soon find it more plea
SAINT and agreeable in the trenches
OF Europe than in the small COM
mumity wherein he had tried such
enforcement of statute and ordi-
nance"
.'The first full week in May is
recognized everywhere. where
modern sanitation is held i'm due
and proper respect. as s'Clean-up
week. and the Potter County
Board strongly urge that every
citizen assist this movement by
cleaning up his own premises. and
urging the adoption of general
community cleanup"

NOTES

NOTES
Isaac Arpan was a recent viSi-
tor at Cherry Creek.
DIR. Riggs recently passed thru
Cherry Creek on a trip over a por-
ton of the reservation.
John u. Derby the Cherry-Crk
farmer is in NO. Dakota ON bust
ness, but is expected to return in a
day or so.
MIR. Derby has bad u number of
young trees lanted in the front
yards at the Station and if some
RAIN viii make its appearance in
the neal future his efforts to beau
THY the scenery may be crowned
with success.
At the last writing, The Press
correspondent sand that the In
dlans and settlers along the river
had lost very little stock during
the past winter, which is true. A
visitor to Cherry Creek from the
Eagle Butte neighborhood, howev-
er, reports considerable loss of
stock among the homesteaders on
the divide, especially among sheep.
The thermometer has been Eov-
ering in the vicinity of So for
about a week and there have been
no April showers to cool the at
mosphere, altho several threaten
ing clouds blew past after drop
ping only a sprinkle or two. This
has made a run on the traders
supply of pop, which is just about
exhausted now. We must either
have some pop or some rain at
Cherry Greek soon.
James Bentine. the owner of a
splendid irrigated farm south of
the Cheyenne river, and an old
timer in this section of the coun-
try, is preparing to leave So. Da-
kota. A sale of all his cattle,
horses and other belongings was
held April Dist and parties are ne
g%otiating for the lease of his land.
Mr. Bentine has been very success
full with irrigation, but the Cbey-
enne river has been cutting into
into the bank, and threatened dur
ing the high water which followed
the recent thaw to demolish the
entire ranch. He has talked of
selling out and leaving for some
time. and it is probable that the
condition of the river this spring
influenced his decision. The Chey-
enne, a narrow, rapid stream, has
done considerable damage to both
banks this year.
In their first game of the sea-
son. April 10Th. Leslie defeated

Deadwood.-From %afiuence and high

Roemro, scion of an ancient Castillian
family and relative of former Presi-
dent Diaz, of Mexico, has been forced
10 accept a small widows pension 10
provide for her three small children.
The life of Mrs. Romero, who is a
resilient of Whitewood, near here. was
deeply tinged with romance, buttoday
she sees only the pitiless hand of fate,
againSt which she is feebly struggling.
Born and educated some 40 a
ago in old Mexico. surrounded with
luxury and comfort. pleasure was her
chief aim as a girl. At one of the
state balls she met Juan Romero,
cousin of Mrs. Porfiiro Diaz. the first
day of Mexico. Romero had other high
connections One uncle was secretary
Of state in Mexico and another was
one time minister to the United States.
He himself had aspirations.
Although more than thirty years the
senior of the girl, Romero was struck
with her beauty and soon won her
from numerous suitors. For awhile
all went well. Then something hap
pened. Romero lost caste with the
Dia2 administration, and with his dis
favor came loss of fortune, and even
opportunity. Romero turned toward
the United States as a haven and
brought his small family north. They
wandered through the west and finally
located in the Black Hills, where
Romero found employment as a
freighter. He worked hard, but never
got ahead. The little family became a
large one. sixteen children in all, al
though death left its mark from time
to time. Romero lost his health and
died, leaving his wife and the small
children practically penniless. Friends
help, with such work as can be found
until the county stepped in with its
pension. and a married daughter in
Sioux City sends what little she can
afford.
