The manufacture of this engine is one of Freeport's many growing industries and a large force of skilled mechanics are given steady employment.

F. Schryer. D. C. Stover is Freeport's well- known manufacturer and inventor.

Perhaps no other man in the city has contributed to its material advancement to as great a degree as he, his varied industries being the backbone of Freeport's prosperity. Mr. Stover has surrounded himself with an energetic force of assistants, for the most part many of them being young men of recognized business ability. His son has helped bring the product of the Stover engine works to the attention of the world, while the services of Mr. Smith have been no less meritorious.

Mr. Schryer is a skilled machinist and a large part of the success of the company is due to his ingenuity in the manufacturing department. The gasoline engines manufactured by this company are from two to fifty horse power. The use of this class of engines in the past few years has become recognized as adapted to every line of business where power is required and that the Stover engine works has kept in the van is a source of pride, not only to the company, but for the citizens of Freeport in general.

Coroner Peck this morning reconvened the jury which was impanelled nt Pearl City to determine the manner in whJch Daniel Koontz was killed by a IChicago Great Western train on the morning of Thursday, Feb. 14. The delay was due to the. trainmen not being able to be present until this the company officials having notified Dr.

Peck of this fact. The jury is composed of the following: John Sprague, J. F. Mishler, W. H.

Goordich, I. B. Hammond, W. W. Buckley and J.

M. Aurancl. The taking of testimony was not commenced until after 11:30, awaiting the arrival of the trainmen, and shortly after noon adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock. G. W- Ddw, of tne Pearl City bank, identffied the checks and money which were found on the body of Mr.

Koontz, which included certificates of deposits on- the Somerset, bank to the amount of $2.524.60, and the Waverly, State bank for $300, also $4.96 in Dr. J. G. Woker testified that he examined the body after the wreck, the first examination showing a severe gash above the right eye, while a more critical examination disclosed that Mr. Koontz' neck had been broken, two ribs on the right side were broken, others were crushed, and there were'many severe bruises.

James L. Moore, of Dubnque, engineer of the second section of No. 60, says his train arrived at. the switch, where they were to meet the trains going west, which had the right of way from Bolton to Pearl City. When Mr.

Moore's train arrived at Pearl City at 2:59, the westbound trains had not reached there. He waited at the east 200 feet on the Bolton block. After he was there for some time he received a signal to -back up, and did so, until his caboose was flush with the depot. This was at 3:41. At 3:45 he felt his engine moving, the third section of No.

60 having crashed into his train. He told his fireman to see what the trouble was, and when Mr. Moore looked out; of his engine he saw that the marking signals were not burning. It was reported at Pearl City today that the Great Western officials have requested that the inquest as brief as possible, as settlement is said to have been made with the family of the deceased. Daniel Koontz was ji horse on his way home to Stoyestown, from Iowa, where he had made purchases.

He was asleep in the caboose of the second section of No. 60 when the crash came and was instantly killed. Several other occupants of the caboose were injured, while among the stock several hundred sheep were killed. Y. M.

FE38, President Antlocb Oollcire, Yellow BprlngB, Ohio. Protest Against Schedule. It may again be necessary to revise the schedule orthe State league, according to President Moll. A vigorous complaint has been made by the Wausau club, whose team, under the latest schedule, will be at home from May 21 to June 6 without a break, playing 18 straight games. This is morn consecutive baseball than a town of Wausau's size can stand.

The fans, all of whom must turn out to make baseball successful in a town of 15,000, cannot afford to leave their business every day for three full and it wiU have the further disadvantage of using up so much of Wausau's home season at the start that it will be on foreign' grounds a majority of the games during the main part of the season. Fond du Lao is in the same position. Its team is also to be at home from May 21 to June 6, though no, complaint has come from that city, it is expected that there too the ar- irangementwill prove unsatisfactory, 'and that some change will be asked. Sectional Plan Adopted. The sectional form of schedule was adopted, under which the eight clubs are classed an four east and four west, says the La Crosse Chronicle.

As the four teams of each section make a complete tour of the cities in the other section, playing three games in each city, it is frequently necessary that a club play twelve consecutive games ah home, and as inter-sectional games then follow, at least two clubs will frequently get a series or two more. La Crosse, Freeport are classed as western and Wausau, Fond du Lac, Oshkosh and Green Bay as eastern clubs. The four western clubs will visit Wausau in succession making twelve games, and in the inter-sectional games, immediately thereafter, under the schedule, Green Bay and are to visit Wausau before the team from that city leaves home. The only way Wausau's complaint can be remedied, without tearing thte schedule to pieces, will be to exchange series with Green Bay Oshkosh, bringing about the same conditions in those cities, which, however, larger, would be better able to staud it. The arrangement of the schedule iq a way to divide the teams into- sections always proves satisfactory when tried.

It operates in the'biK leagues to cause a sectional, as well as a home club interest. In the national league a western club, whether it wins or not itself, always. likes to have the championship come to its section of the country, and as he fans share this view, interest is aintained even in cities which tail-end teams. In the Wis- nsin league schedule, La Crosse, Freeport, Eau Claire and Madison are In a certain sense partners. against the four eastern clubs, though, of course, every team plays- equally hard against the other seven, regardless of their location.

Wausau Players Signed'. WausauRecord ball association received a contract Wednesday from Frank Lang, who signed as a pitcher for the 1907 season. Mr. Lang's record as a ball player is not only well known but- highly appreciated by the Wausau fans, his career last, year being quite- a remarkable one. He is considered' one of the best pitchers in the league- and the Wausau team is to be congratulated on retaining him.

They have also received a signed contract from George Klock, who will play as second baseman the coming season. He was a member of the LaCrosse team last year. college ac Yellow Springs, Ohio, is one of the greatest historians of the present day.
