Them Out of First Place.


Them Out of First Place.
1t remained for the Sommers to
pull the Missions from their proud
position, which they have occu-
pied since the championship games
have begun. The. Sommers did
the trick in a neat, modest way,
and are not walking around today,
throwing out their chests, either.
They considered the Missions no
better than any other team and
went in to do their best, as they
would against the weakest team.
They didn't get rattled-they
powled steady game-and thstr
why they won. The Missions, al
though they thought they had a
cinch were a little scary, being
their second series on a strange al.
ley, in the first Of which the Turn
ers threw them down. But they
thought it was a cinch against a
team like the Sommers. When
they woke up this morning they
thought it was dream, but the
figures in the percentage table are
too plain, and.show the Turner's at
the top of the heap.

Last Summer one>of our grand chill
dren was sick with severe bowel trouble.
Our doctors remedies had failed, then
We tried Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, which gave very
speedy relief. We regard it as the best
medicine ever put on the market for
bowel complaints.-Mrs. e. G. Gregory,
Frederickstown. Mo. This certainly Is
the best medicine ever put on the market
for dysentery, summer complaint, cole
and cholera infantum in children. Il
never fails to give prompt relief when
used in reasonable time and the plain
printed directions are followed. Many
mothers have expressed their sincere
gratitude for the cures it has effected.

ever declined q PRESIDENTIAL nomi-
nation was Benjamin Fitzpatrick,
of Alabama, who was originally
named on the straightout Demo-
cratic ticket with Stephen A.
Douglas, at the Charleston Con-
vention in 1850, and refused to ac-
cept, whereupon Herschel V.
johnson was substituted by the
National Committee. It is an in
teresting fact that Mr.. Johnson's

Dr. Chas. H. Whitman, the founder Of

years, was one of the first physicians in

to give satisfactory results and was al
most entirely abandoned by the few
physicians who tried 1t, there were some
honest investigators who were not will
ing TO discard so scientific preparation
without further trial. Among the latter
was DR.. Whitman, who has carried on a
line OF systematic and scientific investi-
cation for years, until about one year
ago he became convinced that he had
succeeded in perfecting a remedy which
would not only CURE consumption in
the earlier stages, by destroying the

he can actually diagnose the disease be-

Let each and every consumpuve take
warning. Death is an unwelcome but

visit if you will.
AS there are many people in this city
amicted with consumption who are in
straitened circumstances, the doctor has
concluded to set apart one hour each day
from to 10 a. m. for the treatment of
those who are unable to pay the regular
fee, and will only charge the actual cost
OF the medicine used. Printed literature,
containing testimonials of patients who
have been cured at this institute, will be
