His wife remonstrated with him to give her up, but to no avail, so she had the coupleStiad-owed for the last three weeks.

Still McGuire persisted in his wooing of another woman, and the net drew closer and closer around the couple. Climax Reached, The climax to this story came Saturday night when McGuire went to visit the third party in the case, Goldle Knotts Shively, who lives in 930 South Colfax street. The police visited the home and found the couple there. Then the world of love began to fall about the ears of the interested parties. Mrs.

Clara McGuire, the wife, swore out city warrants, charging her husband with disorderly conduct and assault. During her pleadings with her husband to quit the other woman, the quarrel had become so intense, so much so that McGuire assaulted his wife to close the argument. He said so Saturday night when asked to enter a plea to the charge, and his admission cost him just $52.65. The city warrant charging him with disorderly conduct cost him $12.65 when he entered a plea of suilty. be fore Justice Harry C.

Noble. The Woman Story. Then came the woman in the case. She was arrested on city and state warrants chareine her with disor derly conduct. Then the police were subjected to a distracting scene.

Wail after wail filled the police court rooms and corridors of the building. accused McGuire of telling her that he had been separated from bis wife for over two years, and when she threatened to give him up, she said McGuire had gotten down on his knee's to her and begged her not to do so. All this her nothing. At last she entered pleas of euiltv to both warrants, was fined $12.65 on the city charge and $19.65 on the state charge. McGuire paid the bill of $95.60.

They left, and the next case was called by the police magistrate. Cathedral Saved From Destruction CAMBRAI, France.

Staley Donates $1,000 Toward Success of New Eleven GET GOOD PLAYERS Employes of the Staley plant have organized that long-talked-of loot ball team just to give added in tercst to the enterprise A. E. Staley has donated $1,000 to the manage of the team with which to back it up.

This was done at a meeting of the interested parties Saturday afternoon at the Staley plant, when Fritz Wasem, the star outfielder, was elected captain and manager of the team. Practise will start this week. The names of the players had not been ascertained Saturday night, but it is known that Wasem. Mintun and "Cy" Jones will be among the contenders for positions on the team. Several college stars who are now working in the plant will also be out for the team, and Stalev's stand a good chance of building up one of the best independent teams in Illinois, especially is this true of this organization, because of the fact that Mr.

Staley will back them to the finish. Players of Ability. Wasem is noted for his playing ability through his record at Millikin. Mintun has played on various independent teams, and is considered as dependable material. "Cy" Jones has a reputation tf his own through playing with the Taylorville Independents, where he has always been a mainstay of the team.

It is reported that his brother Ben will also be with the locals. There is a world of material among the workmen at the plant, and the only thing left to do is to get busy and give the team the necessary training and practise. Games will be scheduled with the best independent teams of the country, and football enthusiasts are due to see some real football games when the Staley team gets into action. Much interest has been created over th citv in reeard to whether Staley's would organize this year or not. Num erous inquiries have Been maae oi The Herald in regard to the matter, and it has been hoped that the or ganization would be completed.

It will probably be three weeKS Deiore the first game is played, as it will take the players that long -to round into shape. 19PAlrOUCE ARE DISCHARGED Boston Under Control of State Troops-General Strike Worries BOSTON, Sept. 20 The Metropolitan park commission today discharged 19 members of its police force who refused to assist in quelling riots during the first night of the strike of Boston patrolmen. The men were found guilty of disobedience of orders and insubordination. Twenty-seven other members of Met-ropolitanr-Xorce, pund guilty of disobedience of orders, but not guilty of insubordination, were fined 30 days pay.

with the alternative of performing 30 days extra duty. Possibility of a general strike, the proposal for which Is before the central labor union and is expected to be acted upon tomorrow, still concerned state officials today. No Federal Troops Jesse F. Stevens, adjutant general of the state forces, said he expected to have men and equipment sufficient to put 20,000 soldiers in service within a few days if necessary. Sixty-five hundred of these men are on duty and the others are being recruited by Brig-Gen.

Sweetser as members of the volunteer militia. These combined state forces in the opinion of the adjutant general, would make almost negligible the chance of a state call for federal troops. Col. Stevens said that in the event of a general strike the state military forces wsuld not attempt to operate street cars or man electric plants. Development Farm Colony is Started NEWARK.

NO EXPLANATION OP ARMED GUARD Policeman With Gun Is Stationed at Waterworks Dam Day and Night Why the armed guard at the dam?" has been the question on the minds ot.

hundreds of people of the city since they have heard of a policeman being stationed at the dam day and night who allows no one to come close to the dam unless on official business. The city officials will not explain and there the matte: stands." Ordered to Shoot. Various opinions have been advanced as to the cause for the guard, but no one knows. It was circulated that someone had been tampering with the dam and for fear that it would be blown, the guard was stationed there, but that is only theory. Still, the guard remains there, and he paces up and down thetop of the dam with the regularity "of an army sentinel.

The shotgun is loaded and it was gleaned from the police that he had orders to shoot anyone full of buckshot who attempted to advance after being halted. The guard was kept busy Saturday morning when a crowd began to gather near the dam to watch the seining of the pool. All were halted and told to retire. When the seiners got on the job Saturday morning they found the situation somewhat relieved. The rains of Friday and Thursday had caused the river to rise enough to flow over the dam at a point near the south end, and this supplied the fish with the water they were so badly in reed of.

To complicate matters the fish had left tile wall of the dam and were in the deep water where the large hole had been washed out by the torrents of water which went over the dam during the June floods. In attempting to seine the pool it was found that logs and brush were so thick as to be a hindrance tc seining. Some fish were caught and thrown above the dam. After a few attempts, the seining idea was abandoned and the fish given as much relief as possible by opening the fjood sates for a while and allowing the fresh water to empty into the pool. Before the relief came there were many fish which died and the police will attempt to get someone to clean these from the banks.

German Missionaries in Japan Not Wanted TOKIO Seventy German missionaries who were deported from the South Sea Islands by the Japanese Government, have arrived in Toko hama on their way to Germany.

Clifford Davidson after more than twelve months army service in France has returned to Decatur and about October 1, will taku up his duties as trainmaster on the northern end of the Wabash railroad.

He landed in Hobokcn Monday and came direct to Decatur undr orders to report later In Camp Grant for his honorable discharge. Recognized in civil life as an efficient railroad transportation of licial he was assigned to similar duties with the expeditionary forces operating the railroad which car-lied supplies to the forces at the Visited Fighting Fronts "After fighting was at an end I was given short leave and had opportunity to visit the combat sections and learn at least what that place looked like after it was all over" said Lieut. Davidson. "I went to St. Jlihiel, Verdun and was in Belgium.

When you look over what was a battle field and are told that the contending armies fought over that ground there is nothing in sight to' suggest that they did not fight. At Amiens and Arras for instance, there is not an inch of the ground that does not bear marks of the conflict. Ihe destruction of every thing possible by the enemy was complete and that statement seems to fall far short of expressing the truth. In all of the pictures that I have seen and w-hat I have read of the destruction, there has been nothing that has done a justice. It is only when you look over the ground that you begin to comprehend the absolute completeness of the awful tiling.

Villages of 400 to 500 population so wholly completely vanished that few of the former residents -who wander back can find any trace of the village to guide them to the place that once was home."

"Our business has outgrown our ice cream making department and we shall install the best modern equipment in the extension of that department and have ample capacity for all possibilities.

The plant will be direct connection motor-driven machines.

The Storage House. "The commercial storagehouse Is the real new thing and we shall in-stal a capacity beyond the needs of Decatur at this time. The fact is the demand for commercial cold storage is small, but the demand is growing and Decatur is coming to the point where soon there will be an active commercial demand and the Polar Co. is making ready to meet the demandj when it comes. There are to be six: rooms of theliest type.

That plant will be one-story but so designed and constructed that other stories may be added as needed without interrupting the business. Inevitably with Decatur's growth soon there will be In creased demand for such service and Polar plans to meet all demands as they grow in this field." Manager Warnecke, that within a week initial steps for making the improvements would be taken and once under way only unusual weather conditions would be permitted to interrupt the progress.
