gingery. At evening a blue sky and a
sun that glimmered redly over the
waves favored the excursionists, and
all day the weather was as fair as
the sweethearts of the gloss buttoned
militiamen.
ONE ACCIDENT.
One accident only occurred to mar
the joviality of the day. Frank Foster,
in contesting for high jump honors,
had his leg broken between the knee
and ankle. Foster made a remarkably
high jump, but in the descent his leg
apparently got into a cramped posi-
ton, and when he hit the ground the
bone snapped with a. sound like brittle
wood. He was placed on a cot and
brought to the city on the o'clock
train. DR.. Wright, who happened to
be present and attended the militia
man, said the injury was a simple
fracture.
BASEBALL.
The baseball game was a peculiar
performance, in which the post team
did all they went out there to do, In
himself with his competitors, and in
the target and drill performances com
pany B took nearly all the prizes and
all the glory.
THE ROAD RACE.
The road race, which was the open
ing event, began shortly before
o'clock and was witnessed by passen-
gers on the 2:15 train. Tod Game
started, and so did E. H. Smith and L.
c. Dale, and the last two scorchers
found it hard work to prevent them
selves from getting lost. Game in the
first mile put a, good stretch of dust
and space between himself and Smith,
and finished in a canter fully one-half
mile to the forward Smith came in
second and a yawning gap of several
hundred yards separated him and
Dale. Game was awarded a gold
medal.
REGULARS VICTORIOUS.
The base BAH game was am extreme
ly lively affair while it lasted. The mi
lltiamen struggled well in the first
three rounds, when the score was three
to four in their favor, but after that
they were clay in the hands of the
post sportsmen. The batteries We're

Professionals stole in on the 100-yard

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies, Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, ana when it
is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.

With what justice can the Re-

suspended specie payments in order
to initiate the currency up to the
hilt with green0acis, now pretend
to denounce the Democratic plat

replied that when the Northern
states repudiated they had no al
tentative. But the only possible
alternatives today in the United
States are either silver or paper.
The country is visibly bleeding to
death; tifty-dve millions sterling of
debt have been contracted in two

peace, in order to maintain if pos

anyone suppose that the Mckinley
