The Remarkable Cures

Which have been effected by Hoods Sarsaparilla are sufficient proof that this medicine does possess peculiar curative power. In the severest cases of scrofula or salt rheum, when other preparations had been power less, the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla has brought about the happiest re- suits. The case of Miss Sarah C. Whittier, of Lowell, Mass, who sui fered terribly from scrofulous sores ; that of Chas. E. Roberts, of East Wilson, N. Y., who had thirteen abscesses on his face and neck; that of Willie Duff, of Walpole, Mass, who had hip disease and scrofdla so bad that physicians said he could not recover, are a few of the many instances in which wonderful cures were effected by this medicine.

of their abilities with the "hickory'' to-
challenge the students of the North
western university to a trial of skill on
the emerald diamond. The challenge
was promptly accepted and Thursday
afternoon witnessed one of the finest
exhibitions of baseball ever given Or
the Northwestern grounds. The Ath-
letics went first to bat, and by good
handling of the "stick,' y aided beauti-
fully by the errors of the S. III. us,
succeeded in making six runs Here
they were checked, and with the ex-
ception of one run in the second their
score remained unchanged until the
sixth. Meanwhile the s. HIS we're
slowly and surely gaining on them, and
at the close of the fifth the score was
even In their half of the sixth the
Athletics added two more to their
score, and returning to the field retired
the S. III. US in short order. In the
seventh the latter gallantly returned
the compliment and the Athletics took
the field. Then commenced the run
making for the S. HIS. Scarcely any
batter failed 10 make basehit, and
Gingrass and Gleason gloried in two

the S. HIS far in the lead and the game
practically won. The remaining in

hit by Kansier, of the Athletics; which,
however, was too late in the day to be
of any substantial good. Following is

The Latest Swindle.

The latest swineler is a man selling a
machine for tying corn in shocks. 1t is
introduced to the unsuspecting farmer
by the crook, who produces pin about
eight inches long, with double eye,
and which is manipulated by an extra
twist of the wrist. He gives it to the
farmer. Then of course receipt is
signed, large letters showing one needle
tree and the small letter underneath
proving to be an order for one gross
and an agreement to pay 1886. The
agreement is discounted at the first
bank and the farmer has to walk up and
pay it.-Madison Journal.
