Big Billiards.

The following from the ST. Louis Re,
publican gives the result of the second
game of billiards between Cation and
Carter at st. Louis Three thousand
points are to be played, 1000 points each
evening. Mr.. Cation was born and raised
in Rock Island and his friends here will
take pride in hearing of his great success
IN the billiardstic world.
A full house again greeted Cation and
Carter when they came into Baldwin u
Co.'S Turf exchange last evening to play
the second 1000 points of their 5000
point game at unlimited rail for 81 900
1t will be remembered that on the first
nights play Cation had lead of 204
points, and last night he increased it to
594 Pool selling was tolerably brisk for
afew minutes at $50 to SIG in favor of
Cation on the first / 900 points, and few
were sold at $40 to $18 in favor of Cat
ION making the largest run for the night.
A more enthusiastic crowd of spectators
it would be difficult to imagine, composed
as it largely was, of lawyers, doctors and
business men generally, aud it is worth
mentioning that the applause was very
evenly distributed. Cation receiving it
for his large runs, and Carter for his bril-
liant play.
The game last night was brilliant one,
the total number of points made by each
player were: Cation, 1000; Carter, no.

THE WONDER

Is becoming universal as to how such an inn
mense sale could be created In Lowell for
HOODS SARsAPARILLA. But, my friend, IL
you could stand behind our counter week
and hear what those say who are using Ii,
the reason would appear as clear as the
noon-day sun. The real curative power of
HONS SARsAPAEILLA demonstrates itself
In every case where our directions are faith
fully regarded. We would that we might
get before the people a fractional part of the
confidence that is expressed to us every day
in this medicine by those who have carefully
noted without preiudice) its effects upon the
blood and through that upon the whole sys-
TEN, stimulating all the functions of the
body to perform the duties nature requires
of them. Try bottle and satisfy yourself.

MEssRs. c. l. HOOD & Co.: Gentlemen
About one year ago my daughter commenced
taking your Sarsaparllla. AT that time she
had very little appetite; could take no long
walks, and her lace was badly broken out
with humor. She was low-spirited; troubled
with cold hands and feet; her blood seemed
caused O us great a f anxiety. Alter taking one
bottle of your Sarsaparilla she began to i'm.
prove. and she now has a good appetite and
can take much longer walks. Her humor Is
nothing compared with what 1t was one year
ago. She is in better spirits, is not troubled
with cold hands and feet as previously, And
i attribute this Improvement in her condi-
ton largely TO your, Sarsaparilla. She has
taken six bottles, and intends to continue its
use; was inclined TO oppose the. trial of it
at first. ] now have great faith In 1t as q
blood purifier Very truly yours.

last July.

is more active than wheat.
