There is more Cataarh in this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
inCurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven ca
taarh to be a constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts di-
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails
to cure. Send for circulars and tes-
timonials. Address,

During the past twelve months |
the DEMOCRAT has worked hard |
Cor any and every undertaking |

we're built. Whenever request

uews, as we'll as giving al Of
the local and the important
domestic and foreign news. 1t
is the only one that advocated
the upbuilding and advance

Politically the DEMOCRAT
stands squarely on the Chicago
platform and will always be
found advocating 16 20 1 and
fghting a protective tariff as

Republican fallacies.
In the future as in the past

ENaLlsHMAN ON BASEBALL.
Game Seemed a Dastardly Attack On
ii,2 UnfSInan.

Game Seemed a Dastardly Attach On
the Datsman.
The game throughout seems to be q
dastardly assault with intent On the
batsman, who, armed with a police
mans stick, or waddy, or club, or what
ever it is called, sets himself up, within
q defined area, which looks like the ace
of diamonds, to be cock-shied at by
long, strong man who can project ball
with uuexampled violence, at the same
time imparting TO the missile q dispo-
sition to dodge and curve and twist,
and ultimately land on the batsman's
short ribs by false pretenses. However,
the batsmen seem to have Injured them
selves to these brutal attacks, and they
await the onslaught with commendable
fortitude. A ball that to the uniniti-
ated spectator looks like carrying away
large portions of the strikers anatomy
is nearly always deity and uneXpect-
edly smitten below the vest and wiped
right out.
Another feature of the game, which
lends excitement to the whole under
taking, is the wild scramble for bases
When the runner starts out to cover
his 80 feet his chief anxiety is to land
on the next pad before the ball, which
is invariably heading in the same di-
rection at top speed, as the boys don't
stop to blow on it when it comes In
hot. These conteRding elements give
vivacity and spirit to the game, which
is never at greater pitch than when a
runner finishes brilliantrun by plung
ing forward and finishing the rush by
sliding gracefully in on his ear or nose
Then, too, the ubiquity Of the felders
is an amazing thing. Indeed, the man
ner in which the scientific fielder man
ages to be here, there and over "be-
want" at one and the same time is the
most remarkable thing in contempt
raneous history. I was glad to notice
the enthusiastic plaudits which rent
the air when a genius succeeded IN
chasing an escaped ball 100 yards or so,
falling over it twice, finishing the run
on his hands and catching the recall
citrant globe with his feet, or per-
Torrance to that effect.
Baseball is a spirited affair; 1t is
alive from start to 6nislN like football;
it does not give one time to grow old;
it does not wear on the spectator like
lingering illness, as criclletis apt to do
when two stonewallers are in. If n
man should perchance go to sleep he
does so at the risk of his life, and in
case of death there is every prospect
of the insurance company refusing to
hand over the money, on the plea Of
contributory negligence.
These are my first crude impressions
of the game. Maybe time will play the
part of disillusionizer and rob me of my
present realistic attitude toward the
snort. Later on I expect to find ar

Railway Cars and Hotel bedrooms

1t is mistake to suppose that the
microbes of contagious diseases sail
through the atmosphere like thistle
down on u summer breeze; they are
great colonizers and outbreed the En-
glish sparrows, but they are birds of
short fight and rarely cross a river or
penetrate screen Of clustering foliage.
The contaglon Of such diseases rs
yellow fever, influenza and smallpox
is communicated either directly by the
breath or touch of infected individuals
or indirectly by infected clothing or the
atmosphere of stuffy rooms, cabins or
street cars that have been occupied by
persons in far-developed stage of the
disorder.
Standing In market crowd persons
of deficient disease-resisting abilities
may inhale the contagion in the open
air; but in walking rapidly along a
sidewalk or public promenade the risk
is very small, In influenza (grippe)
epldemics public schools often become
veritable hotbeds OF contagion.
At country resorts they may happen
TO meet refugees from the centers OF
contagion, and for similar reason fam
lily flights to the highlands are apt to
defeat their purpose, In warm weather
an elevation of anything less than
1000 feet can offer no guaranty of sal
vation, and crowds of idlers, congre-
eating on the veranda of country ho-
tel, will gossip to compensate the lack
of better pastimes, at the risk of ex-
changing assortments of microbes as
well as of anecdotes.
Railway cars, too, often become peri
patetic hatcheries OF contagious disor-
ders. The air is liable to be reinfected
at every station. In spite of all pre-
cautions the carpets get defled with
the sputa OF consumptiyes. The cush-
ions, curtains and pillows are impreg-
mated with the contagion of half n
dozen different fevers.
In Differentiated bedrooms the case
may be even worse. Reaching a hotel
late at night travellers may resign
themselves to the inevitable when the
clerk assures them that he has given
them the best of the vacant dormitories,
and trying to let in the cool night wind
they are apt to discover that their only
window opens upon dead wall, close
enough to be touched with an UNI
brella. Fatigue makes them browse
away in a temperature of perhaps 90
degrees Fahrenheit; and in that sleep

A PRETTY HOME.
1t "a Something That Every woman
Wants.

II "a Something That Every Woman
Wants.
The deftness of woman's fingers en-
nbles her to turn and twist the things
that are old into decorations that arc
new and lovely in effect. She can select
harmonious colors when she buys mex
pensive furnishings, and so tone the as
pect OF her home thatrest and ease may
welcome every new visitor; she may be-
come so essential to the happiness Of
each child in the home that its first In
quiry when returning from play or
from school will be "is mother home?'
She may live her young years over
again with the loving childhood about
her, if she will share the joys and sor-
rows Of her boys and girls. To every
woman home is essential, whether it
may be her own or somebody else's.
But wherever she lives it is right that
she should bring the heart into her
life. Love bcgets love, and wherever
1t ls present the joys Of daily life coun-
terbalance the ills.
How to make home? Why, let the
two who build it be of one mind-that
1t is to be the happiest spot in the
whole earth. Include in your desire not
only the purpose to make yourselves
happy, but to brighten the lives Of
Everybody else. And be sure to keep
your windows open to the sunlight.
30 many Zines the best rooms in our
homes are treated as if they were too
good for everyday life, And their chill
and discomfort when experienced by an
unexpected guest make her dream of
"cellar-damp and creeping things"
Let life inthe home be free and easy and
yet orderly. But do not despair if the
sticks of wood piled for use in the par
Tor fireplace are not perfectly straight
and just the right length. And do not
feel it duty to brush the carpet each
time neighbor calls to see you, else
you will become the victim to O dust
pan and brush!-N. Y. Ledger.

was apparently misunderstood, for in
the course of half an hour or so, during
which the court was emptied of its
usual audience, the plaintiff appeared,
with two black eyes and fattened
nose, to announce triumphantly that
he had knocked out the other party, and
to demand his lordship'a Judgment in
his favor. AS the other side consented
to this course, Judgment was given ac-

Prevent
pneumonia

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act Of that instinct of self
preservation which is "the first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the use
Of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
"Some years ago had a severe cold and
was threatened with pneumonia. | could
neither eat nor sleep and was in wretched
condition. I procured bottle of Ayers
Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the
directions. and at the end of fifteen daysw as
