The Riverdale baseball club went to
COlwlch Saturday, where they crossed
bats with the club al that place. The
score resulted in Is to > in favor Of
Riyerdale. Colwlch holds the cham
piOnship of Sedgwick county and
Riyerdale is the crack ciuD Of Sumner
county. Riverdale now claims TO be
champion of the two counties and are
anxious to meet any club in either
county, which they think they Can
walk over.
No Sumner county high school.
The Wellington board of education
knocked the project higher than Gil
rOy's kite, by refusing to lease the
building to the county because the
commissioners and trustees would not
swallow the Wellington proposition.
The wellington scheme was to ar
range matters so the high school
would be under the control of the
superintendent of the Wellington
schools at the cOunty's expense. 1t
seems queer that Wellington states
men can have no dealings with the
county without springing some cooked
and primed scheme. The people of
the county, we believe, wanted good
county high school, but they wanted
just as few strings tied to it by
the schemers as pOSSible.-COnway

Riverdale is highly gratitied with
the results Of the work being done by
their ball team so far this season.
They have very clearly proven their
right to championship hOnOrs in
Sumner and Sedgwick county. The

four on May lst, and Col8ich OF
Sedgwick by score Of five to dfteen
On May 8th. The Riverdales looked
like pigmies beside the Colwich out
fit, but they clearly proved that
quality not quantity is the controlling
element in a ball game as well as
many other problems of life. They
will play two more games on next
Saturday with Belle Plaine and Wei
lingtOn on the home ground. The
first Of the games to be called prompt
ly at | o'clock, the other to follow i'm
medlatly upon its conclusion. All are
invited to be present. -
1t has been held that consumption
is hereditary, and the fact that one
person Of family had died with con-
sumption was considered sure sign
that others of that family could not es-
capeit. This is partly true and partly
untrue. A man with weak lungs is
likely to transmit that weakness to
his children. But there is no reason
in the world why the weakness should
be allowed to develop. Keep the
lungs full of rich, red, wholesome
blood, and the weakness will disap-
pear. Decaying tissues will be
thrown off, and new material will be
addei until the lungs are well aud
perfectly strong again. This is the
thing that DR.. Pierce's golden medical
discovery does. This is what makes
it cure 9S per cent of all cases of con-
sumption where it is taken according
to directions. 1t searches out disease
germs wherever they may be in the
body aud forces them out of the
system. 1t supplies the blood with
rich, life-giving properties. 1t makes
the appetite good, digestion perfect.
