4 Chance for Rock Island

The Interstate league having practi-
caIly collapsed it would not be bad
idea to replace it with an Illinois state
league composed of clubs either semi
amateur or entirely so, and to include
such cities as Rock Island. Sterling, De-
.cstnr, Danville, Bloomington. Peoria.
Moline, Springfield, Rockford, etc. This
was the idea of the originators of the
scheme which eliminated in the estab>
lishment of the Central Interstate Ieague.
but the project was furthered by men of
high strung notions, such as Harley. the
manager of the Decatur club which was
the first club to disband. With a club
composed mostly of local players, enough
could be made to bear expenses and the
attendance would be as large, and interest
and rivalry as great as with a crack
team. Rock Island has some really
good players, and others would he de-
NfNN " ~ Suiai ShmtS were cSIdDllSn-
ed. Cities that will support a good club
will not always sustain high priced one
and it was for this reason that the Inter.
state league was failure. The clubs
were too good for the towns. and every
town wanted its club at the head of the
list, and as soon as it failed to keep
there, patronage was Withdrawn and up
went not only the ball. but the whole
club.
The Davenports will probably play
their last Interstate league games with
Peorias at Davenport on Saturday, Sun
day and Monday of this week, and if the
Iowa boys don't get into the Western
league soon, the club is just as likely as
not to disband, as the directors are
heartily sick of the Interstate league
foolishness.

oatmeal porridge is almost a national food. Nor is this surprising when we know that this artic e of diet is not only rich in nitro genous Cor muscle forning) material, but also in fatty matter, starch, gluten, Sc.
 According to one analysis oats contain full ly seven per cent. of oil or fat and seventeen per cent. of avenesca-a proteine compound, as the gluten of wheat-making together twenty four per cent. of really nutritivs matter. Davy found in enc thousand parts of Scotch Oats seven hundred and forty three of soluble or nutritive matter, contain iIg six hundred and forty-one of mucilage or starch, fifteen saecharine matter and eigh- ty-seven gluten or albumen.
 MT. Norton's analysis demonstrates the pre-eminent value of oats, both to gratify the oIfacterles, to please the palate, to build up the bones, and to give body and vigor to the whole animal system.
 It is a noteworthy fact that the Scotch, who live so largely upon oatmeal, are singu- larly healthy, long-lived and free from insan- ity and nervous diseases, yet having remark ably keen brains. The kernel of the oat is also known to act with special directness upon horses, not only as concentrated food, but as stimulant, or rather healthy tonic to their nervous systems. All these facts are explained by the finding in the oat kernel some years ago of three medicinal prin- clples: "Avenasca," @ direct nerve tonic and healer; phosphorus" (as soluble oats phosphOids) the special food of nerve and brain. and "boskine," derived from the husk or bosk of the oats, and having an anti-bil- ious and laxative action.
 Experiments on the nervous system of horses, recently conducted at the L. Eccle de Grignon, Paris, France, with avenesca isola- ted from the oats kernel, have proven that its nerve tonic and stimulating properties are undoubted.-New York Medical Record, Jan uary, 1886.
 It will therefore be seen that the claims e1,, l, .1-~- ! I.1- G- known as Scotch Oats Essence are founded in fact, and borne out by more than mere popular commendations-viz.: Scientific experiment Judging by it's popularity, it's unqualified endorsement by the medical pro- fession, and the remarkable cures it has made in some very serious cases of brain and nerve diseases, it is one of the few really great medical discoveries

A DESPERATE DASH

Rv Police Commissioner Johuson,s
 Horse-RalIs 1n Front of the New
 Haven House.
 Yesterday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock as Police Commissioner Johnson and wife were riding in sleigh driving a fine horse down Whalley avenue toward Broadway nut came off from the bolt which fastens the shafts to the sleigh and the shafts fell down and struck the horses heels. The horse immediately started into a dead run down the avenue, drawing the sleigh which was still fastened to one of the shafts. While crashing down through Broadway the team narrowly escaped colliding with Westvills car and struck a small ice projection in the road, throwing MT. Johnson and wife out. They were badly shaken up and bruised somewhat and were taken into W. H. Beecher's store The horse freed himself from the sleigh and continued on his mad career with the shafts dangling behind down Park into Chapel street. h front of the New Haven House the shafts struck an express wagon. This slung the wagon around, nearly throwing the driver from his seat, and the Johnson horse fell down in 8 heap, tangled up amid shafts, wheels and reins Immediately there rushed to the scene about thirty five students and 8 few hackmeD. They seized and held the fallen beast, which at once regained his feet, but blood was flowing freely from his nos Til

mrs. U. Fl. VailIe,s Troubles.

Charles H. Waffle, night switchman for the Consolidated road at the Long wharf crossing, married Miss Anna Viele, one of the belles of PaImer's Falls, near Corinth, N. Y., on September Eth, 1887. The marriage took place under the most favorable auspices. Immediately after the wedding they came to this city and commenced housekeeping on Front street. They have not lived happily since November 1st, Mrs. Vaille says. and since that time her husband has been away night after night playing cards. She further says that he has pawned her gold watch in order to raise money with which to play cards. MT. Waffle on Thursday afternoon in- serted an advertisement in an evening paper saying his wife had left his bed and board and declining to pay her bills.
 Mrs. Waffle claims that her husband did not have any bed to leave as MT. Kelly had taken it, it not having been paid for yet, and the merchants would not trust him as he al ready owed them for previous purchases, therefore he did not have any board.
 Mrs. Vaille has Q father who keeps hotel at Palmer's Falls and who wishes her to re- turn home, but she is ashamed to face the people there on account of having been mar riea with such great eclat. She intends to procure work in one of our numerous shops and support herself

Both are by Lexington Chief, son of Mambrino Chief. The dam of Hope is by Magma Charta, sire of the dam of Belle F. (2:15L) and other fast ones. That of Faith was thoroughbred. The latter has trotted trial in 2:23. Hope has finished mile in 2:2S1S. It takes a pair of trotters to beat them down the road, and MT. Balch will be disappointed if Mir. Nicely does not lead the gang in New Haven at the finish.

LYMAN BEEoHER LECTURES
The Sunday SehOOl-Its Influence on
 the Family.

The Sunday SehOoI-Its Influence on
 she Family.
 The Lyman Bsecher lecture course was continued yesterday afternoon, the subject being ''The influence of the Sunday school on the family" MT. Trumbull is now coming to the practical division of his subject and the lectures are much more interesting and profitable. There has been great fear lest the Sunday school deprive the family religion of it's force. Every new agency must prove it's efficiency in the line of the family infiu- ence or give up it's claim to divine origin, and the Sunday school with it's influence proves that it neither has had, does or can have in huence other than to quicken and improve the family teaching. History shows that the family religion has waxed and waned with the wax and wane of the church schools. Abraham was teacher before he was par ent and he was better parent for having been teacher. The speaker then gave com parisons of the state of England, Scotland, Wales and America as they were before the beginning of the new schools in respect to family religion and their condition after these schools were introduced, showing a startling progress in religious life. A comparison of the upper class of children who don't go to the home, with the lower classes who do go shows the upper class to be lamentably lacking in the elements of religious knowledge. In Wales the great est advance is shown. In America the Sun day school was not an important factor till 18i5 or 1890. nearly fourth of a century later than in England. Everywhere it has been 6 means of bringing in family worship. MT. Trumbull traced the evidence of witnesses from the present down to the second genera tion that existed in the country in showing that ''the good old days' in which all parents taught their children of God and the Bible never existed until after the Sunday schools were in motion. He will deliver the next lecture, sThe Sunday School; Its Member ship and It's Management,n next Thursday afternoon at three o'clock
