CATARRH--The remarkable results in n
disease so universal and with such a variety
of characteristics as catarrh prove how
eifectually Hoods Sarsaparilla, acting
through the blood, reaches every part Of
the human system. A medicine, like any
thing else, can be fairly judged only by its
results. We point with pride to the glori-
GUS record Hoods Sarsapuilla has entered
upon the hearts of thousands of people it
has cured of catarrh.

" something" greeted their astonished eyes.
1t was a procession of ghosts, some said, but
on closer inspection :" it " proved to be the
tardy girls robed in sheets and masked so
as to be wholly unacceptable. After a
moment of surprise each of the boys rushed
to the nearest girl and requested her hand
in the dance. The novelty soonlpassed away,
the ghostly costumes were laid aside, and
once more the ladies appeared in their usual

Red Cloud to the Front.

On last Thursday afternoon a match
game of base bail WAS played in this
city between the club of Blue Hill--and
the Red Cloud nine. AT $50 7. NJ. the
game was called with A. l.. Funk a.
umpire and NJ. s. Marsh scorer. From
the first inning to the very last the
game was Of the most interesting ma
ture, both clubs playing for all they
were worth. However, the Red Cloud
boys, being better trained than their
Blue Hill friends, had a walk-away,
and scOoped their opponents badly.
There are few better pitchers than
Charley Plat, and when n of his
curve balls went flying owe the home
base 1t Was not an easy matter to
strike it, and consequently the Blue
Hill club became somewhat ratified
and discouraged, and of course did not
have the vi%or that they would have
had, had they had an easier ball to
stike. Then again, the Red Cloud
boys are hard hltters, and when they
strike a ball it is a ten days wonder
where it is going to before it halts, and
therefore it was and easy matter for
them to make TALES without much
trouble. The Red Cloud team is hard
to beat, . NJ we believe with a little
more practice would make a profess
sional nine grit their teeth to beat
them. The Blue Hill team, though
vanguished, have among them some
excellent players and held our boys
down on the few first innings, and we
think they will make a fair club with
4 little more practice. They are a jolly
set of fellows and will at no late date
play Il boys again, when they pro-
pose to hold them level. After the
game was over and the large crowd
present had dispersed, the Red Cloud
team set up the ice can to the Blue
Hill team. and at train time had the
Red Cloud Coruet Band escort them
to the depot. The following is the
score:

Just pride in the record the farmers

ten years, and Notwithstanding he has
been very unfortunate in the matter Of
losing a great deal of stock from var
