SUPERB BASE BALL
Webster Defeated in
Corking Good
Contest.
SOuTHBRIDG'S FIELDING
And Grifin's Great Pitch
ing Nail Hard the
Fine Victory.

southbrdge, July 1.-Webster was
defeated here today. The visitors put
up grand fight, but their inability to
hit Griffin, who had them at his mercy
all the time, and the star work of the
Southbridge infield were too much for
them. Websters infield did fine work,
and, If Sanders had not lost himself in
the fifth inning, the score would have
been closer. LAWN and Linnehan
played great ball, and Griffin's pitching
was superb. Longevin made the only
error, but promptly redeemed himself
with a two-base hit. Fox, the old
Southbridge favorite, covered third in
fine shape for Webster, and Stafford
made one-hand circus catch. The
score:

THE MYSTERIOUS SHOE.
Only Effort New on Foot in Swamp Affair
Is to Find Where It Was Made.

Clinton, July 1.-The swamp mystery
has been undisturbed by detectives or
other officials for two days now. The
men that Chief Wade would turn loose
upon the case from his office have not
put in an appearance. Detective
George Durham, 1t is understood, has
the shoe in his possession, and is Wis
ting shoe shops with it to find where
1t was made.
The representative Of The Spy has
the word of several men who are fami-
liar with the business of shoe manufac-
turing as 1t is carried on in Marlboro
that the shoe was not made there.
The representative of The Spy has
found store in Clinton where, a cheap
shoe, very similar in design, is sold
but the proprietor of the store cannot
remember selling such shoe to a per-
son Of the description Of the dead
woman.
The mysterious horse and carriage
seen near the swamp remains as mys-
FERROUS as everything else connected
with the case.
Systematic inquiries regarding a
horse with milk hind leg have been
instituted for mile or two around the
swamp, but without result Horsemen
and farmers know of no one herea-
bouts who owns such an animal.

DIR. KILMER'S SwAMP-ROoT
Is Not Recommended For Everything,
But If You Have Kidney OF Bladder
Trouble 1t VIII be Found just
the Remedy You Need.

Kidney trouble preyb upon the mind,
discourages and lessons ambition; beauty,
vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear
when the kidneys are out of order or dis
.eased.
Kidney trouble has become so preva-
lent that it is not uncommon for a child
to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. II
the child urinates too often, if the urine
scalds the flesh, or if when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, and it is yet afflicted
with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the
cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble,
and the first step should be towards the
treatment of these important organs.
This unpleasant trouble is due to a dis
eased condition of the kidneys and blad-
der, and not to habit, as most people
suppose.
So we find that women as well as men
are made miserable with kidney and
bladder trouble, and both need the same
remedy. The mild and the immediate eff
feet of Swamp Root is soon realized II
