WHAT Is CATARRH7


Catarrh is a muco-purulent discharge
caused by the presence an development of
the vegetable parasite amGba in the in
ternal lining membrane of the nose. This
parasite is only developed under favorable
circumstances, and these are: Morbid
state of the blood, as the blighted cor
puscle of ubercle, the germ poison of sy
philis, mercury, toxomoea, from the reten-
ton of the effeted matter of the skin, sup
pressed persplration, badly ventilated
sleeping apartments, and other poisons
that are germinated in the blood. These
poisons keep the internal lining men,
brane of the nose in a constant
state of irritation, ever ready for
the deposit of the seeds of these
down the fauces, or back of the throat
causing liberation of the throat; up the
eustachian tubes, causing deafness; bur-
rowing in the vocal cords, causing hoarse-
ness; usurping the proper structure of the
bronchial tubes, ending in pulmonary con-
sumption and death.
Many attempts have been made to dis
cover cure for this distressing disease by
the use of inhalents and other ingenious
devices, but none of these treatments can
do a particle of good until the parasites
are either destroyed or removed from the
mucus tissue.
Some time since well known physician
of forty years standing, after much expe-
rimenting, succeeded in discovering the
necessary combination of ingredients
which never fail in absolutely and perma-
nently eradicating this horrible disease,
whether standing for one year or for forty
years. Those who may be suffering from
the above disease, should, without delay,
communicate with the business managers,
Messrs A. H. DIXON & SON, 305 King
street west, Toronto, Canada, and enclose
stamp for their treatise on Catarrh.

The Northwestern League.


The most interesting and important game
in the Northwestern league last week was
prevented by rain, and it was the only one
in any way interfered with, so it would seem
that the weather clerk was scheming to put
off the event. We refer to the game which
under ordinary circumstances would have
been played at Quincy on Saturday after
noon. AS we predicted in our Monday
morning summary week ago Quincy won
all of its four games and Grand Rapids lost
one, thus tying the two teams in games won
As it is Quincy is second, from having lost
two games more than Grand Rapids. but had
it gathered in a victory at home on Saturday
it would have been at the forefront for the
first time this season. The matter will be
decided tomorrow, and from the brilliant
record the Quincy team has made, especially
in fielding, we predict that Illinois will
gather the laurels. However, we do not be-
lieve Quincy will hold the advantage, if
gained, as Grand Rapids comes next to play
with the innocents of the northwest, where
as Quincy will meet next the strong mines
of Bay City and Saginaw. By scoring tie
at Minneapolis on Saturday Saginaw allowed
Bay City to slip into undisputed possession
of third place. Peoria has been chopping in
hard timber, and is scarcely as good fifth
as on Saturday week ago. Milwaukee took
three of the four games played, but is such
bad sixth that the chances are not favorable
for better position for some time. Muske-
gon is playing remarkably strong game
nowadays, and is dangerous competitor for
the best teams in the league. Minneapolis
took two of the five games played and tied
another. heteam is undergoing constant
metamorphosis of players, but its strength is
not materially greater now than month
ago. Fort Wayne is a conundrum and Terre
Haute another. st. Paul made a heroic
struggle in five contests, but it was worsted
in all of them. No team in the league is a
more formidable competitor, and none has
worse luck. The result is tabulated below:

Notes.

The entries for the grand circuit races at
Cleveland close tomorrow night.
The st. Paul and Muskegon teams will play
the second game of their series this after
noon at the West Seventh street park.
Go out to the park this afternoon and see
Jennings umpire game. He disciplines
the crowd and the players, and umpires with
great satisfaction to everybody. He will
probably remain for but two more games.
People who attend ball games at the West
Seventh street park are advised to look upon
the playing of right felders with good deal
of charity. The ground is so uneven that it
is hard to run over it at full speed. The
roughness of the ground caused Carroll to
make his disastrous mutf on Saturday
We wish to urge again that the Minneapolis
Journal is doing the Quincy team an in
justice. That paper was not satisfied, APP
parently, with our statement of the case,
giving Quincy's victories, the dates on which
they were secured and from whom. If its
sporting editor will address note to Secre-
tary Morton, of the Northwestern league

All the National league games scheduled
for last week were played, and every team
took hand in the winning, the weak Detroit
team taking two, while Cleveland scored but
one victory. Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, New
York and Providence each scored three and
Philadelphia two. The teams occupy exactly
the same relative positions they did week
ago, Boston hayinga lead of two games over
Providence and the latter three over New
York. The eastern leaders are playing
together now and some remarkable changes
may follow, although we do not look for such
a state of things. Boston seems to be made
of the metal necessary to retain its prestige
and we rather expect to see the lead in
creased rather than diminished. New York
will probably never get better position than
it now occupies, and the next three weeks
may see Buffalo or Chicago push the ball
players of the metropolis back peg or so

played to date:

STANDPOINTs.

AT the Harvard College alumni dinner,
Professor Newcomb, the astronomer, and
director of the National Observatory, got
down from the sky long enough to say that
proper human sympathy is one of the OBJ
jects to be aimed at in education, but how it
was to be attained he was unable to say. The
honored observer of heavenly bodies is too
little acquainted with sublunary affairs to
know how to get into, promote, or indulge
in human sympathy. But of one thing he
was certain, it should be the aim of educa-
ton ''to send into politics scholars trained
in looking at mankind from a scientific
standpoint" Why not view men from "a
scientific standpoint in other departments
of human activity, as well as politics! By
all means let this learned sa-
want come on with his SCHOLARS"

ATrain Sneak Thief.

Richard Winston, who is thought to have
been the robber of mail passenger on the
river division Of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul road some three weeks since, was
nabbed by brakeman and handed over to
Officer Casey on the arrival of the morning
train on that road at the Union depot yester-

american Association.

Thh American association contest contin-
ues as close and exciting as ever. Columbus
has the advantage, but it is of such slender
proportions that it seems likely to vanish in
to nothingness before the end of another
week. Louisville made bold move forward
to second place by winning all the games
played setting Metropolitan back to third. st.
Louis is in the fourth position, and is prob
ably one of the most dangerous competitors
for the pennant. Cincinnati is a close fifth,
but three games separated from Columbus
the leader. Baltimore has been forced out
of the sixth place by Athletic, which did
about as good work as any of the teams du-
ring the week. At the other end of the list,
Pittsburg has been pushed down peg by
Indianapolis, which now assumes tenth po-
sition. Washington has not won game in
two weeks, and has taken but nine of the
forty-nine played. If it does not get an in
fusion of new blood shortly, it will probably
disband. Following is the summary of the
games played to date:

especially the curses of the numerous cred

THE KNOW-Y0TYIYG CRAZE

The Wheeling CIV. Va.) Register puts the
question, "Was Blaine a Know-Nothing.n
and adds:
Is it true that he was initiated into the mystic
secrets-now no longer secrets of that intolerant
political organization which blazed out the path
of the Radical party making Radical success pos
sible?
This ntiCatholc, anti-foreigner, secret So
ciety misnamed itself the American party. To
their own disgrace few renegade Irshmen in
this country joined it and much capital was at
the time attempted to be made over these half
dozen deserters, falsely denominated .'Irish-
Americans.
This, we infer, must be the origin of the report
that has reached the ear of our neighbor, that
''Irish-Americans are fast going to Blaine. ~
True, genuine, warm hearted Irshmen who
love liberty for liberty's sake-liberty of
person, liberty of speech, and liberty
of religion; who, by inheritance and from dearly
bought experience in the old country, hate the
iron hand of strong centralized government.
Such Irshmen, God bless them, will never be
heard Of ''fast going over to Blaine.''

and entered complaint. On catching sight
of the blue uniform the miscre-

efforts were made to escape. Schorn ran
after them and demanded the driver to stop
or take the consequences, and when he held
up all but Henry Gallagher, jumping out the
hack door as it halted, made themselves
scarce. Gallagher was too drunk to flee and
he and the driver were brought to the city
