team. He is feet, 9 inche4, and

| The football game between the Rush
Medical college of Chicago, and the
| State University of Iowa at the base
ball park next Saturday afternoon
| gives promise of being one of the
most interesting and closely con-
tested games that will be played this
| season.
| The fact that the two teams are
| representative of Illinois and Iowa
| gives added interest to the event. and
each team will find its supporters in
| the tri-cities for this reason, if for no
ether. Each team is training hard
and earnestly for the game, and the
do or die spirit is evident in both
elevens. The Iowa team is practic-
| ing with the greatest secrecy, per-
fecting new plays that will, they hope,
| surprise their opponents, while Rush,
the representative of Illinois, is doing
its utmost to ind solutions of the
Pennsylvania styles of play that they
viii have to meet. Both teams are
confident of victory by Il small mar
gin, each conceding that the game
will be close one and most vigor-
ouslv contested. The size and weight
of the two teams is also a stand off,
each of them averaging about Us
pounds.
The Iowa team that will play Satur-
day will be picked from the following
men:
Capt. Hobbs has been i'll for the
past two weeks and has just re-
covered from an operation, but it is
hoped he will be in shape for the
game. Hobbs has had more expert

having played three seasons at Iowa
City. He is ) feet, 10 inches in

the game, is practically new, but is
good punter and fast runner. lie

Williams is a candidate for left
half-back. This is his first year in
the university and he has shown him.

Deems is another candidate behind
the line. He played left-half for two
years on the varsity eleven. He is
strong, hard runner, a splendid tack
eler and an all round back. He

wonderfully this year. He is a
strong runner and sincere and
heavy player. He weighs 100 pounds

COTTON RECEIPTS
Up To November 11th, Have Fallen Off s,6Os Bales From Last
 Year.

The city scales in this city show a great falling off in the receipts of cotton as compared with last year.
 No. 1, thelMain street scales, had received 4O25 bales this time last year. Up to the same date this year they have received 390O bales being 125 bales less.
 The greatest falling off is at the Barraque street scales, Nov. 2. Up to November 11th, 1897, the re- ceipts were 6785 bales. At the same date this year the receipts are 3307, making a falling off of 3478 bales.
 There are several reasons for this. Last year we had a dry fall and the cotton matured early, and the farm. CTS were not delayed in picking by the rain. And another great ad- vantage was, that the price opened up better, inducing the farmers to rush their cotton to the market.

Mutual Life, of Ky.

We call the attention of our read CTS to the ad in this issue for the Mu- tual Life Insurance O., of Ky, w. E. Craker special agent. Mir. Craker does not claim for his company that it affords any better protection than the old line companies, but he does contend that it is equally as good. The Mutual Life of Ky. was organ ized in 1866. and It's admitted assets to liabilities are 109, just the same as the New York Life and many other old line companies. He claims. how ever, that he can prove by the high est insurance authority in the world that the Mutual Life, of Ky, has the lowest expense rate and receives the highest rate of interest on all it's in- vestments.
 The company's contracts are in- contestable after issue except for Don-payment of premium, which fact should attract the attention of all who value the worth of dollar. The total amount of insurance in force in the Mutual Life of Ky. on Dec. 3l, 1897, was $I2,32O. a49, with admitted assets to cover liabilities. as above stated, of 199 per ceLt.
 The above facts show the Mutual Life of Ky. to be as safe and solid as any of the old line companies, while it possesses many advantages and attractive features not offered by the other old line companies.

AS We'll as the Safest and
 Cheapest.

The new medical discovery, Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food instead of making the worn out stomach do all the work, give 1t q much needed rest, ana q cure of dys- pepsia is the natural result.
 You get nourishment and rest at the same time because these Tablets will thoroughly digest all wholesome food taken into the stomach wheth- CT the stomach works or not. A cure is certain to result because the digestive organs are given chance to rest and recover! their natural vigor and tone. The Tablets are then no longer required.
 To show the manner in which the remedy acts on different people and how quickly and effectually it cures stomach troubles we present 0 few recent cases.
 Mir. J. o. WOndly of Peoria, H.. writes: 1 was unable to eatany thing but the Dlainest food and even that often distressed me, but since using one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab let's can eat anything and every thing l want.
 Mrs. SamueI Kepple, of Girty, Pa writes: l have been entirely relieved of my stomach troubles by your Tablets. 1 suffered three years with sour stomach and gas at night. I am thankful for them.
 Mrs. A. E. Bowen, Barnard, Vt, writes: think Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the best thing for dys- pepsla l ever took. I will recom- mend them to anyone troubled as bad as l was.
 Sruart's Dyspepsia Tablets will not disappoint because thcy cure Dyspepsia surely and lastingly by causing the food to be properly as- simulated, and cure constipation by producing the proper quantity of bile.
