Good for Harry.

A feature Of Decoration day amuse-
ments at Green Bay, Monday, was the
second annual road race of the Pastime
Cycle club. Harry Rablin, son of our
toWnsman Henry Rablin, has been at
tending business college at the Bay and
from Tuesdays Daily Advocate we
learn that the young man was strictly a
part Of the above feature, winning two
of the very best prizes. Twenty-one
riders faced the starter, among them
Harry with a three minute handicap.
The coulse was to De Pere and return,
distance of liz miles The Grand
Rapids boy led them all hot chase and
finished in first place, securing a hand
some prize-a gold watch valued at $50
He also won third time prize, covering
his ground in 81 minutes, IS seconds.
This enabled him TO take home also a
diamond stud valued at S25.
Harry has for few years back proven
his reputation as "speedy" bicyclist
about his home town and we are glad to
know of his valued successes in faster
company away from here. Monday
was day of fullest meaning to the
young rider for he will probably long
remember how nicely he was decorated
on Decoration of 1897. Congratulations

Clay Pigeon Sllo citing.

The editor tried his hand at clay
pigeon shooting this week and found
that at unknown angles they were very
hard 10 hit To look on and see them
sail off they look 10 be very easy
mark, but they are deceiving. We
were not the only Que that was deceived.
At the last shoot large number were
present, among them many who are
excellent wing shots, but clay pigeon
shooting was deceiving to them. For
instance, George Snyder, considered
one of the best wing shots in the two
cities, wagered 81 90 that he could hit
five out of fifteen, but be failed and
only found two. We had an idea that
we ought to find ten out of twenty-five,
but on trial we only found five There
is considerable skill brought into use in
shooting clay pigeons and practice is
absolutely necessary. Chicken shooting
upon the marshes is much easier than
clay pigeon shooting at unknown angles
and those who don't believe it can have
the conceit taken out Of them by trying.
A most delightful and exciting time WAS
had at the last shoot and many new
members joined the club. The follow
ing score was made at unknown angles:

Beet Sugar NO Longer an Experiment.

Results already achieved in field and
factory on commercial scale during the
past six years, to say nothing of many
thousands of farm and labratory tests,
demonstrate, beyond question, two
things: C) That the sugar beet can be
grown in profitable quantity and quality
over sufficient area in the United
States to furnish the worlds supply of
sugar, and (2) that the cane-sugar in
dustry can also be largely developed.
SO true is this that it is now recognized,
by all we'll informed about this new in
dustry, that California, Iowa, Nebraska,
and any one of several other states
could alone supply the United States
with all the sugar she consumes. Once
firmly established, American genius
will so improve upon present conditions
that in due time the United States will
be an exporter Of sugar. For expert
ence has shown that, once established,
the beet can more than compete with
cane. From "Sugar the American
Question of the Day." by Herbert My
rick, in June Review of Reviews.

Hoxie Case Adjourned.

George w. Hoxie, the ClintOnville
lawyer and partner of Benjamin NJ.
Goldberg, who in the recent disbar-
ment proceedings at Waupaca against
the latter, assumed responsibility for
one Of the acts of which Mr. Goldberg
was accused, will now have to stand
trial himself. The order to Mr. Hoxie
to show cause why he should not be
disbarred from the courts because of
alleged unprofessional conduct, came
up before Judge Webb in the Circuit
court here Monday The prosecution
was represented by Attorneys S. A.
Connell and J. P Theen, and the de-
fense by Attorneys Felker and Golberg
The prosecution filed its charges and
the defense asked that the Ordes be dis
missed on the ground that the court
commissioner who made the order re-
quiring HOXie to show cause why he
should not be disbarred lacked iuris-
diction. The court denied this motion
and also denied one made by the de-
fense that the trial of the charges be
held at Waupaca, because it would be
more convenient.
The defense filed its answer to the
charges and the judge issued an order
allowing the prosecution eight days in
which to file its reply. Adjournment
was taken until Wednesday, June Is, at
2 p. m.

Monday, for contest with the nine of
the Howe High school. 1t was another
one Of those winter overcoat days in

number of spectators g,thered at the
fair grounds to witness the game. Nor
NAL Colors were gracefully trailed in the
dust of defeat and their representatives
on the diamond were easy victims to
the doughty high schoolers. Tall, slim
boys from the Normal were as pie for
the stocky students here and the agony
ended Is to against the visitors. The
High school made more scores in its
first inning than did the Normals in the
entire game and this seemed to put the
young men from Stevens Point to sleep
at the start. They played a decidedly
slow, lifeless game, while Grand Rapids
was active, vigorous and superior at bat
and in the field throughout the meet.
The High school team is composed Of
the following players: Chas. Podawiltz,
catcher; Frank Ford, pitcher; Henry

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear, There is only one
way TO cure DEAFNESS, ana that is by constltu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
