HORSE RACING.
Fine Weather Tempts Horsemen TO
Violate m CITY Ordinance

The fine weather of the past few
days has tempted several owners OF
speedy steeds to race on the principal
thoroughfares of the city. There is
city ordinance against the practice and
a timely hint may save the over-en-
thusastic a fine Of 81 or $40 which VIII
surely be imposed IL care is not eXer-
ciscd
In this connection many Will be glad
to hear that the Gentlemen's Driving
association which gave the residents of
this city and vicinity so much legiti-
mate srort last summer is not a thing
of the past, by any means, but that 1t
is awakening from is winter inactivity
and will again cater to the public wants
this season.
The two days meet of last fall was
not a remunerative one to the associa-
tion and from the expressions of the
managers at that time 1t was feared
that the scheme of further race meets
in this city had been given death
blow.
The members of the association real
ize the disadvantages under which
they rested on that occasion and prof
iting by their experience will probably
only give three meets this year An
thracite park has been again taken by
them and races will probably be ar
ranged for Memorial day, Fourth OF
July and Labor day.
A larger and faster class of horses
will be secured for the different events
and the contests between the recent i'm.
portations of speedy "nags" to this
city will give to the meets a still great.
or interest than heretofore. The asso'
citation is being revived with much en-
thusiasTn.

COMPLETELY DISCOURAGED.
Are Thousands of People Who Have
Chronic Catarrh.

AS a result of our changeable climate
catarrh has become one of the most
prevalent and universal diseases known
to man. Nearly one-third of the peo-
pie of the United States are afflicted
with catarrh in some of its many
phases or stages. Add to this fact that
catarrh rapidly tends to become fixed
or chronic; also the further fact that it
is capable of producing a great many
other diseases, and we begin to realize
the true nature of this dread disease.
So formidable has catarrh become that
in every city or town of any size
numerous doctors are to be found who
make the treatment of catarrh a
speciality. Mr.. Ralph w. Chulip, La
Porte, Ind, in a recent letter to DR..
Hartman, says: 81 have been troubled

HOSPITAL WORK STOPPED.
Repairs on the Building VIII Have
10 Wait for Funds.

The hospital trustees have decided to
suspend all repair work now being
done on the building. This was found
to he absolutely necessary as the finan-
cial straits in which the institution is
placed at present show little prospects
of Frightening. The hospital is $500
in debt at present even after the sub
scriptions recently received are con-
sidered.
While 1t would not be policy on the
part of the directors to put any greater
load on the institution it is unfortunate
that the repairs now under way must
be stopped. The painting of the exterior
is finished but that within is still to be
completed and the walls in many places
are sadly in need of patching.
There are many other small jobs
about the building which it would be
economy in the end to attend to now
but under stress of circumstances fur
ther outlay is impossible.
