The opening ses sions of both the National and Ameri can baseball leagues , developed little in the way of sensational develop ments, notwithstanding the rumors that have gained credence during the past week.

Nevins, formerly of this .ty and who has been connected with con struction work in Rock Island, was yesterday afternoon awarded $3,000 in a suit against the city of Sterling, the case occupying three weeks in the circuit court at Morrison.

Mi-. Sboles was h Ford's theater the night of the his torical event and was one of those who witnessed the shooting by J. Wilkes Booth. Mr. Sholes at the time was serving In Company C of the Sth Illinois cavalry, which was stationed at Washington. He enlisted at Morri son on the second mustering in of the regiment after it had returned from service in the uriny of the Potomac. He had an elder brother, Rollin, who lost his life on the Potomac. Follow ing the second recruiting of the regi ment, it was sent to Washington, where it acted as an escort and guard for Lincoln. On the day of the assas- Jnation, Mr. Sholes, in company with a hair dozen others of the regiment. had acted as the personal guard for Lincoln and his wife when they took a short trip from the White house out to the Soldiers' home. It happened that Mr. Sholes was off duty that evening, and he accordingly went to Ford's theater to see the play, with the result that he was an eye-witness to the trag edy. Some three months later the Sth regiment was mustered out of service at St. Ixmis, and Mr. Sholes returned to his home. At the time of his enlist ment he was 21 years old.

Ed usuorn spoke of the work from a Christian's viewpoint, saying that no One can be a Christian and at the same time be unkind to dumb animals J. B. Oakleaf and Clarence Trevor spoke of the financial and economic standpoint of the humane society and George Ellman, humane officer of Dav enport, gave a very Instructive talk on ; the work being accomplished !n Davenport. He gave a report of the actual workings and. good; being done in .Davenport, and also spoke of the support afforded the work in that city ... . . Svea Qunrlet Sing.
