ious in the Came of Ball
With st. Cloud sunday.

Although the forepart Of Sunday
afternoon proved rather bad for q
ball game before the contest was
brought to a close fully 1000 people
had assembled to witness the play
ing of the two teams.
The boys were out ''warming up"
when, to the surprise OF almost all
present, it began raining. Allsought
shelter as best they could and after
the shower passed over they re-
turned to their seats. No sooner
had everybody got nicely settled
than it commenced to pour down
again. After the second shower the
sky became clear which allowed the
sun to quitely dry the ball grounds.
The teams got out and after q little
practice began to toss the ball in
earnest.

The insurance adiusters who are
settling the damage by the recent fire
at G. ii. DEGREES residence, in Moline.
have completed their estimate on the
furniture and household goods. They
very willingly allow the total amount
of the policies, So. 800, and consider
that they are coming eff very easily.
The damage to the house will be as
sessed in few days. The contractor,
John Volk, is now preparing figures
on the loss. The amount of insurance
to be secured by the total on the fur
niture, etc, does not cover the actual
damage.by a wide difference. Nearly
everything within the house was in
jured to a degree either by The smoke
or water.

During the winter of 1897 James
Reed. one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay Co., w. Va,
struck his leg against cake of ice in
such Il manner as to bruise it severe
ly. 1t became very much swollen
and panied him SO badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and half gallons of whisky in
bathing it, but nothing gave any re-
lief until he began using Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. This brought al
most n complete cure in a weeks time
and he believes that had he not used
this remedy his leg would have had
to bc amputated. Pain Balm is I'M
equaled for sprains, bruises and rheu-
matism. For sale by all druggists.

To this end there has been created
an officer to be known as travelling in
structor to conductors. 1t will be the
duty of the instructor to use all his
time in travelling over the system to
enlighten trainmen verbally on the
intended meaning of rules and orders
sent out by the general officers of the
road, more particularly of the rules of
the passenger department.
1t will be the business of the in
structor to visit terminal headquarters
of the road and personally examine
conductors. both freight and passen-
ger, as to their understanding of rules
and orders concerning the collection
of tickets, their forms and destina-
tions, cash fare regulations and every
question regarding the relations be-
tween the public and the company.
Whenever possible. the instructor is
to hold IL school at divisional points

That Boy of
Yours,

Like the illustrious Patrick Henry
would as soon be dead as to be
robbed of his liberty.
He must have liberty no mat
ter how high it comes-to you.
And in the exercise of that lib
erty he is bound to wear out a
pair of shoes every-well let's
say, every once in a while. No
matter how good the shoes, they
will wear out-often. too.
There's only one thing to do.
Buy the best shoes you can get,
pay a fair price for them, thus
making sure of the. quality, and
then-let the boy do the rest.
We believe we have 4 better
stock of boys shoes than any
other shoe store in town. We
belieYe we own them as cheaply
as anyone can, and we are willing
TO part with them at small
profit.
Bring on the boys.

His Antagonist Ducks Frequently to Avoid
Punishment, Seeming in Constant Fear
of the Blows Delivered by the Indianan
The Go Occurs In st. Louis Last
Night.
Billy Stiff, of Chicago, lasted, just
Is rounds in front of Kid Mccoy
last night at St. Louis. Up to this
time he had done very little but try
to avoid the Indiana fighter, and fail
ing in this would rush in and clinch.
He was brought to his knees in the
first round by stiff lefts on the jaw
chin and nose, but arose before the
limit and broke ground before Nc
Coy's clever left.
In the second round Stiff rushed,
swinging his right and left in danger
Gus fashion, and Mccoy, in side step
ping, slipped to the floor, but was up
in a moment jabbing the Chicago man
first with the left, then with the right,
and then with both together.
When Stiff got over his fright he
did u little better work, but most of
his leads were light. In the sixth
round Stiff woke up and rushed Nc
Coy to the ropes. Mccoy jabbed him
in the face and received hard left on
the stomach in return. In the 18th
round Mccoy pounded his man
hard all over the ring.
The preliminary fight was 25-
round bout between Caspar Leon and
Steve Flanagan. Both boys put up n
hard, game battle, going the limit. al
though in the latter rounds Flanagan
showed up to better advantage. He
pounded Leon all over the ring and
had him groggy several times, the
gong saving him. At the end of the
bout the referee decided in favor of
Flanagan.
