compauied Mr.. Graham to St. Louis last
week, who was matched with Carter the

turned to Annapolis Monday. Mr..
Graham refused TO shoot with Carter.
stating that he came West TO shoot under

been effected as stated. Mr.. Graham shot
at twenty-one live birds, with a Lang
gun at % yards, using only one hand.
His execution in this attempt was ap.
plauded by every one on the ground. He
killed seventeen birds OUTRIGHT, using the
second barrel but twice. and being cred
tied with two dead birds beyond bounds
out of four nominal misses.
This performance was followed by a
sweep stakes for = pot made up by Mes
srs. Powers, of Cincinnati. Carter and
Granam, who each put in $40. The
match was shot at ten live BIRDS each,
Graham getting yard handicap and the
others shooting at 80 yards, by reason cf
their heavier guns. A tie resulted on the
first ten birds. each getting nine, but
Carter used his second barrel eight times
while Powers and Graham each got six
birds with one barrel. Carter missed
one of the second six birds, aud Powers
and Graham divided the pot. Graham

which so many seem now to be afflicted 7
If you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown
to-day it is as common as any word in
the English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word
used by our forefathers in times past -
So it is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what our
grandfathers called Biliousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise from q
diseased condition of the Liver which in
performing its functions finding it cannot
dispose of the bile through the ordinary
channel is compelled to pass it off through
the system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are
