The report OF yesterdays game shows
Manager Buckenberger playing on third
in Van Zant's place. The Professor
must have been badly hurt.
Manager Smith, OF the Toledo team,
resigned last night and Drischell, left
flder, was appointed in his place. Smith
has been the cause Of considerable dis
satisfaction.
In Mondays game between Wheeling
and Sandusky, at Sandusky, Van Zant
was injured so that he had to be taken
out OF the game. This was in the fourth
inning. Lemons was then put at sec
ond and Delahanty went to third; this
position was new to him and he made
several high throws to first that proved
to be fatal errors. The Wheeling men
played in the hardest kind OF luck in
that game, which they could have had
easily had Van not been hurt.
To President Webster, OF the Jaxons,
the Personal Pronoun OF the Columbus
State Journals base ball column, the Can
ton Repository and others who have been
wisely harping about Whecling's ina
bility to make home runs off her own
grounds, greeting: Wheeling made two
clean home runs at Sandusky and one at
Toledo, and was prevented from making
another at Sandusky by a convenient"
tree, the man, Stephens, being thrown
out at home plate, the ball having been
stopped by the tree. There are no "con-
venient fences" on those grounds.
Manager Buckenberger was arrested
in Sandusky Monday night and taken
before the Mayor, who fined him $50
and costs for using abusive language
toward doc" Reuter-, a local sport,
who umpired Fridays game in such n
villianous manner. A gentleman who
came in from Sandusky last evening
said that Reuter- should have hit Buck
enberger for talking as he did and that
BuCkenberger should have hit Reuter-
for having him fined, instead OF trying
to whip him. This gentleman also said
that the Sandusky team ought to be
thrown in the river when it comes here,
because Of its mean treatment OF Wheel
ing.

unanimously adopted:
''That we express our full confidence
and adherence to that wise chieftain and
distinguished statesman John Sherman,
and instruct the delegates this day sc.
lected to represent the Republicans OF

nomination ut the Republican National

ton OF Presidential elector, but Col.

ton was carried. This ended the bus
iness OF the convention, and the assem-
bly, left the hall without waiting for
adjournment, all eager to grasp the hand
OF the successful nominee, Col. Joseph
D. Taylor, whom the committee had
failed to bring to the convention. The
Colonel was found at the Windsor,
where the result had already reached
him, and handshaking and congratuln-
tions followed until train time, when he

friends.

"Nasal Voices, catarrn and
False Teeth"

A prominent English woman says
the American women all have high,
shrill, nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twitting they get about this nasal
twang, and yet it is q fact caused by
our dry stimulating atmosphere, and
the universal presence OF catarrhal
difficulties.
But why should so many OF our
women have false teeth?
That is more OF a poser to the En-
glisll. 1t is quite impossible to &C.
count for it except on the theory OF
deiYlnged stomach action caused by
imprudencc in eating and by want OF
regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere pre-.
vail and end in cough and consump'
ton which are promoted by mal-nu-
triton induced by deranged stomach
action. The condition il q modern
one, one unknown to our ancestors
who prevented the catarrh. cold,
cough and consumption by abundant
and regular Use OF what is now known
rs Warmers log Cabin Cough and
Consumption Remedy and Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla, two old fashion
ed standard remedies handed down
from our ancestors, and now
exclusively put forth under the
strongest guarantees OF purity and
efficacy by the world-tamed makers
OF W"rner's safe cure. These two
remedies p!cntiluly used rs spring
and summer seasons advance give II
positive assurance OF freedom, both
from catarrh and those dreadful and
ii neglected, inevitable consequences.
pneumonia, lung troubles and con.
sumption, which SO generally and
fatally prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher. OF Salem,
Henry Co., Iowa, served four years i'll
the late war and contracted a disease
calledconsunption by thedoctors. He
hadfrequcnt hemorrhaees. After using
Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption remedy, he says, under
date OF Jan. 10Th, 1883: II do not
bleed ut the lungs any more, my
cough does not bother me, and l dc
not have any more smot herring spells. u
Warmers log Cabin Rose Cream
cured his wife of Catarrh and she is
"sound and WE'LL"
OF course we do not like to have
our women called nose takers and
false teeth owners, but these conGi
lions can be readily overcome in the
manner indicated.

Whisky and Dyspepsia.

From the Albany Journal.
To the Albany Journal: The follow.
ing paragraph cut from your paner
OF the 21st inst, and have no doubt
OF the trnth OF your statement:
"Murat Halstead is not right in
saying that the best remedy tor
dyspepsia is good Kentucky whisky.
There is much in the proverb at
one mans treat is another III ms
poison; but it is Il fact that Kentucky
or any other kind oi whisky produces
more dyspepsia than almost any
thing else that is habitually taken i'll
to the human stomach. Have we IL
physician among us. and if so will lie
assume to deny this statement"
l take great pleasure in giving you
the testimony of IL physician who is
known from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from the lakes OF the North
to the gulf OF the south, lis one of the
eminent physicians OF the country
and who has treated more members

you that nearly hundred years ago
there was n day OF remarkable gloom

Puritan Lcsislator--Davenporr o.
Stdmiord-and said that if the last
day had come, he desired o lie found at
his place doing his duty, and, there
fore moved that candles be brought
in, SO the House could proceed with
its duty.
There was quietness in the mans
soul; the quietness OF heavenly wis

Duty then is til. ublmest word i,

New York Press.
bob" Wheeler, the son OF samuel
Wheeler. is one ofthe rich New Workers
who has been through the Adirondack
hunting grounds, from which he has
only recently returned from four
weeks expedition, when the mount
aims were covered with snow. II.
was unwell when he left the metropo.
lis, but when he came home he was
about as hearty, strong and hardy as
IN Indian. He believes that q hunt.
ing trip in the Adirondacks is more ei-
fective than all the "medicines and
tonics" in New York in restoring ap.
petite and general physical vigor.
II went up there, he said, ''to re.
cuperate my health and to hunt, and
l had good time. Hunting in the
Adirondacks is great sport, tell you,
but you feel as though you were lost
when you get far back in those deep,
dense forests, which in some places are
trackless, and where it is easy to get
lost if you don't have an experienced
guide.
1.-THE outfitting of an expedition re.
quires good many things and the ex.
penditure of considerable money. In
the first place, a durable hunting cos.
tune and agood rifleor two and fish.
ingrod are the first things to be thought
OF. Then the provisions, which usual.
" consist of flour, bacon, butter, corn
meal, tea and coffee. are among the
staple articles of food carried into
camp. Once in the hunting region
plenty of fresh provisions can easily
be obtained every day with rifle and
fishing rod. Expeditions generally 90
out for two or three weeks. North
Creek is the southern entrance to the
hunting grounds of the Racquette
Lake region. Thence you so by stage
to Blue Mountain, and stop over
night there, thence by boat IL miles
to Racquette Lake.
"The ordinary camp is built of logs,
and contains three rooms. The out.
side of the camp is covered with spruce
or hemlock bark, and is banked IN
cold weather with snow and spruce
boughs to keep it warm as we'll as to
keep small animals from creeping un.
der its walls, acamp is leased by hunt.
ing expeditions for q small sum. One
day while we were away from our
campa bear got in, and not only chew.
ed up all our canned fruit, vegetables,
etc., but ate several bars OF SOAP"
