Our own Wandering Mirlie.

A Utica exchange, speaking of William
Setley, playing with the club of that place,
says "Setley was playing centre field and
the bases were filled with the score tied in
the 18th inning when a ball was hit to
Setley. He had plenty of time to make the
catch, but to give the spectators an idea of
his accomplishments he turned around and
caught the ball with his hand behind his
back. He accomplished his feat easily, but
he gave the crowd a chill, likewise his
manager, and his salary was minus a ten spot
on pay day Setley is well known here,
having played with the Shenandoah team.

When the executive officers decided to
refer the matter to the presidents, an
understanding was reached that no
rates should be cut until ten days no.
tice was given.
The Santa F'e issued a circular today,
stating that its INTERPRETATION of that
understanding was that the notice re-
terred to was only embraced in the first
ten days after the date of the meeting
AS this term has now expired, the Santa
Fe now considers itself at liberty to
cut rates at any time after giving the
legal three days notice.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE CRAVE
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 5ZS W. Pearl St, Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupOr with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone His recovery was
rapid and complete, and IN February he
returned to work His lungs are sound
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

it is bv no means a flyer, being 20 min

it was under the old card. The train
leaves AtchisOn at $40 a. m, ana ar
1-iI-es at Stockton at $40 D. m The dis
lance is $50 miles. The train averages
about 25 miles an hour. The reason
that the Central Branch does not run
faster is that the track is not the best.

contain a trace of any opiate, but stiu1u-

DESTROYS the rlicrobe, and restores all

sound and healthy state which no other

pljsh.
