The delegates from this city will exert their influence o secure the reelection of Mr. Kings bury as president.

Among the propositions which will occupy the attention of the convention will bo the discussion of the proposed parcel post bill.

Block, Room 38, PUT A MUZZLE OK 3loomington Dope Artist's Med dling Has Become Menace ' to Three-Eye. CAUSE OF SCHEDULE TANGLI Trying to Secure Vindication Meeting at Peoria Should Sit Down on Him. This morning M. H. Sexton, presi ient of the Rock Island Base Ball as sociation, received the following tele 3ram-lated at Dubuque: "Is decision to withdraw from league f schedule placing you with Davenport n western division final? TE L.EO UA PU-H ERA LDr" Mr. Sexttm's reply was: "Whose decision, yours or Blooming em dope artist's? M. II. SEXTON." Later it was learned that Manage! layers, of Davenport, had received the amc query and had replied, "Nevei heard of such a decision." There you are. The ubiquitous, in rudlng newspaper correspondent :gain. Constantly working to star' i rupture or to aggravate one after i :as been made in order to "make busi less." XotlilllK To It. Nobody in Rock Island or Davcuport n an official capacity has said any hlng about quitting the league. Base jail men ef the two cities are no! mildren. They have be-en through the nill and survived. They arc not trying o break up the league and serious ah s the' handicap that the dope artist ig Tying to place upon them they will stay till ail fall together, if auyom :nust fall. The national game is too deeply rooted here to be blown ovei by any wind that tho correspondeni has jet raised or seems likely to b( able to raise. But nevertheless, misleading, vin rlictive reiMrts of Three; Eye happen ngs do constitute a menace to the per uanc'iicy ol the Three-hye orgiiui.a ion. They have already deme much aini and are chielly responsible for his schedule tangle. In the first place, dise-ontcnt wa 'oslered last year from this source be au.se Mr. Sexton had drawn up the chedule. It lid not matter that it vas 5;ubinitte.l in open competition n 1 there was no undue influence ex itrd to secure its acceptance. Under f the kvKisc had the iro:-t successful car of any thus far. It was in reality i fine piece of work. Vrrrla Ssimr DiviNinn. Contrary to the declarations of cor respondents. Rock Island and Haven ix)U were last, year placed m the same iivisioa. being pairc.l. All t';:s cackle ibout a change in the fundamental )Ian being demanded is rot. The only saving in mileage in the schedules sub mitted tins year, which has likewise )ccn exaggerated from something over J.noo to 7.00, has been effected by having Rock Island and Davenport play at home on the same dates. This is those who are pushing tho present No. 1 schedule know, would be con trary to the best interests of the k'ague. But the Rloomington corre spondent has demanded a change, has apparently convinced some ol the; clubs that they want one. and this is the only ono that it is possible to make. It wouhl not an near graceful for the Bloomington correspondent or this years scncduie mauer to do lnenwcai. to acknowledge failure after all that has been said. The only alternative is to force, the adoption of one of the pro ducts evolved and this failing to stir up a row and get out of sight in the resulting cloud of dust. This also makes "news" that the big papers will take. Mr. Ilollaml Misinformed. There is the best of reason to think that. President Holland has himse'lf 'jern to a certain degree deceived by the Bloomington correspondent. He is COMES QUICKLY. Don't Have to Wait for Weeks. Rock Island Illustration. Waiting is discouraging. Prompt action pleases everybody, A burden on the back is a heavy weight. Hard to bear day after day. Harder, still year after year. Lifting weight, removing the burden, Brings appreciating responses. Rock Island people tell of it. Tell how it can be done. Tell of relief that's quick and sure. Here is a case of it: John Mager, of 223 Eighteenth street, proprietor of the architectural iron and brass works, says: "There were such terrible pains through my kidneys that I could hardly sit down or get up without suffering from sharp, shooting pains through my back. In the morning I often felt so lame and sore that I could not get up and I was practically rolled out of bed, and more than once my wife has assisted me to get up. I had my attention called to Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box at a drug store. A few doses' seemed to relieve me.' As I continued taking the remedy the pains grew less, and after using one box I was nearly free from them. I got a second box, and before I had finished it the tro'-.'ole left me.'"

He is assurer! that he is being denounced ami maligned in Rock Island and Davenport newspapers. Facts are; continually distorted and oc casionally something is shoved in that is made out of the whole cloth. Ac cepting all this as base ball gospel as he seems to be doing, Mr. Holland al lows himself to be influenced by it. and Rock Island and in this instance. Davenport and the league suffer. A certain amount of bantering and even a gord. healthy fight does not in jure base ball, but rather stimulates in terest in it. But when the league's avoidahle troubles aro exaggerated and imaginary ernes are created and the whole aired day after day in the Chica go and St. Louis papers, damage can not but result. It is still more odious when the correspondent is seeking per sonal vindication as the one in Bloom ington clearly seems to be doing. The meeting of the league at Peoria this week to discuss tho schedule ' a good time to take this dope evil in hand. The league cannot control the newspaper reprrsontative, but it can at least repudiate his rot. I'eorln A No I'rotentM. According to the? Peoria Herald- Transcript President Mci.lroth, of that city, joins with Rock Island, Davenport and Decatur in the protest against tho schedule that was de-elared adopted last week after a telephone vote. Mr. Mei drolh is of the opinion, also, that Dubuque and Cedar Rapids have rea son to hope for something better than has been, offered, and points out that it ought to be easy to prepare a schedule acceptable to all under the mileage pooling plan. When President Sexton read the news of President Meidroth of tho Peoria association as voiced in the Herald-Transcript, he telegraphed that gentleman his congratulations, stating also that all Rock Island desired was an even break.
