Won Them Both.

Our ball team has played two games
since our last issue and won
them both. In connection with the
celebration at Hudson they crossed
bats at eleven O'Clock with lively
team from that city, and after hard
and somewhat bitter contest, won
out by a score of s to II. The boys
feel that they not only played at a
disadvantage but suffered some i'll
treatment. In addition to hot, dis
agreeable drive and continual guying
from the crowd-two things ball
player steels his heart to eudure-the
bystanders at the game wilfully gave
away the signals. This last is an out
and out misdemeanor, and is the
more surprising as it comes from a
town that our ball players had learned
to depend upon for fair treatment.
A purse Of $50. and the knowledge
that city isn't always responsible for
tie doings of its Fourth of July rabble,
somewhat consoled the boys for their
injured feelings.
The game at Ellsworth Monday was
easily theirs by score OF 10 to 4, and
the game went off as true as a rocket.
When the boys, in accordance with
the directions of the Committee of
Arrangements, made application for
dinner at the Forest House, however,
they were met by second unexpected
rebuff. The proprietor refused TO
honor the Committees order. This
was little too much for even a bali
player: and the fellows contemptuous-
ly shook the dust of that hostelry
from their victorious shoe leather
forever and departed forthwith-even
though a Committee man appeared at
this moment to back up his order

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney troub-
lie. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfls
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that I'M
pleasant necessity Of being compelled TO
get up many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. If you need
a medicine you should have the best.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet both sent free by
mail. Mention THE RIVER Fails JoURN-
