A blessed thing to have is on
luman soul whom we can trus
Utterly, who knows the best an
worst in us, and who loves us it
spite of our faults, who will speaI
the honest truth to us while the
world hatters US, and laughs at u:
b hind our backs; who will give Us
counsel and reproof in the days o.
prosperity and self conceit; but who
again, will comfort and encourage
us in the day of difficulty and sor-
row, when the world leaves Us
alone to fight our own battles as
we can.-Charles Kingsley.

SUNDAY BASE BALL GAME.

Yesterday after the managers
had consulted an the officers Of the
West Side administration as 10 the
propriety OF inauguratiug SUNDAY
ball games here, they we're told the
state law permitted, but that there
was an ordinance against anY
amusement being carried on where
there was an admission fee charged,
but they could play and take up a
free will offering and would not be
subject to a fine, aud this they did.
Those people who love baseball
seemed TO catch on all over the
city, tor by 4 p. m. fully 500 people
we're on the grounds, in the grand
stand and scattered over the park.
The game was called at 4.3O with
TeIarkana at the bat aud our boys
soon raped out three hearty earn
ed runs before they we're retired.
Hot Springs showed weak playing
in the field and did not make any
improvement at the bat, being re-
tired with a score.
0Texarkana again took the willow
and raped out three more hearty
scores before they we're retired,
Hot Springs came to the bat and
got another zero mark. The boys
from the Springs just simply showed
great weakness.
From this on both sides got warm
ed up and some good PLAYING wa:
put up, Hot Springs holding TeGar
kama down for four straight innings
without letting them make a score
while they managed in the sixth
inning to get one run.
The Texarkaua boys then in the
seventh raped cut five tallies, il
the eighth nothing and one in the
ninth, making twelve in all.
Hot Springs in the seventh and
eighth was goose egged," but in
the ninth got in three tallies, thus
making total of four runs in the
game.
The crowd was a well behaved
one and very little hooting was in
dulged in.
The umpire was Ed Warren and
his decisions were well given,
The last game OF the series be-
tween this visiting club and our
locals on the ground here will be
played this afternoon, and we will
have no more ball here for some
days as our club will 90 out on the
road tomorrow to play away fuOm
home.

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, and that is caused by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of
the mucous Inning of the eustachian
tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirelY 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 inAamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars; free.

The Arrival Of the MiIlenium.

Tie date of the advent OF this
happy period has so often been fixed
by prophets of many creeds, and
there has been so many disappOint-
ments, that a grave doubt of its re-
ahty has gotten in the minds even
of the credulous. But those ac-
qualnted with the facts are aware
from personal observation and ex-
perience that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is an admirable means of
preventing and remedying kidney
and bladder complaints. Liver and
malarial trouble, constipation, sick
headache, nervousness and nausea
are all overcome by this benehcent
regulator and tonic. When appe-
tite is impaired and sleep broken or
unretreshing, a wineglassful short
ly before meals and before retiring
will do much to remedy the difficult
tY.
