Two thousand people shivered and
shouted at the baseball park yester-
day while Rock Island by a danger
ously narrow margin for the third
successive time forced the bitter pill
of defeat down Bloomington swal-
lower. A dark and heavy sky threaten
e 1 rain and frost-covered zephyrs cir
culated through the park, occasioning
discomfort even to those who brought
along their listers and gloves, while
those with a pawn ticket and a sum-
mer suit jiggered their worries until
they were licensed to Jump and veil
and get warm. With the exception OF
an occasional brilliant play the real
excitement did not occur until the
ninth innings, when the score stand
ing four to one in favor of the visitors,
the Rock Islands suddenly possessed by
one of their batting streaks, waded in
and knocked out four runs, winning
the game The crowd, which had almost
abandoned hope. cheered the boys
long and loud, and it is seldom a more
enthusiastic demonstration is witness
ed upon ball field as occurred when
the requiem was sung for the third
Kregite in the ninth. Cushions were
hurled in the air, hats were tossed up,
and um brellas waved, the spectators
actually mad from Joy, maintaining n
deafening round of applause until the
players left the field.
The first run was made in the
fourth by Rock Island. Botenus, who
got first on Howe's error, was ad-
vanced by Balls sacrifice. and crossed
the plate On a drive in center by Cal
lahan. Bloomington dittoed in her
half. Thiel received swipe in the
slaves, and swung around to third
when Doom threw wide to second, and
was scored by Kreig's hit to center
1t was in the eighth that the locals
went completely to pieces. 1t was
evident that the boys really were
ratified. Although not safe hit was
made, through series of wild
throws. fumbles and drops, the Bloom
ingtons bagged three, the scores being
made by Andrews, Kenlock and Blan-
ford
In the ninth Bay began the music
for the locals. He singled, Doom
followed suit, Bay advancing two
sacks. Callahan walked, and while
Rothermel was flying out, Bay crossed
the rubber. Brott cracked out 2
Dagger, and Doom waltzed home.
Here Kreig, it would seem, acted I'M
wisely in taking Sample from the box
and substituting McGreevey, the lat
ter cold and stiff. Joe Wright nailed
the first ball delivered by McGreevey,
sending safety to center, and scoring
Callahan. Blanford threw wild to
second and Brott homed, giving Rock
Island lead of one. The score:

TREES NEED FOOD.
They Are Far or Relatives of Man.

A tree transplanted into poor soil,
lacking in the elements perhaps of
lime, iron, magnesia, soda or potash,
will possibly struggle along for eight
or ten years, making little or no pro-
gress as compared with twin tree set
out at the same time in soil that
contains the proper elements of nour-
ishment. One will be a puny. unde-
veloped STRIPPING at the end of ten
years and the other big, round,
stronglim bed, healthy tree in the same
length of time.
The same law holds good in the
feeding of children. The mother who
provides proper food for the baby and
particularly, who makes selection of
the right kind of food when the baby
ceases using mothers milk. will build
up healthy child. while the mother
who fails to provide the food that con-
tains the proper elements of nourish-
ment, Will have n puny, sickly child
for years, perhaps.
1t is the business of the expert food
maker nowadays to know what the
human body is made of, where those
elements can be obtained in the food
nature provides for the human race,

ments most strongly marked; for in
stance, of the phosphate of potash,
which contributes to the building of
a strong nervous system. These
facts are known by the experienced
food makers and this knowledge is
used in making what is known as
MarJorie's Baby Food, an article that,
when mixed with cows milk, pre-
vents the formation of heavy cu1ds
from the milk in the stomach of the
babe and at the same time furnishes
the babe with a perfect selection of
body building elements taken from
natures grains. These same elements
are found in mothers milk.
The new Baby Food wins its own
way with mothers and children when

1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic Dis
ease Can be Cured Unless the Stom-
ach Is First Made Strong and
Vigorous.

This is plain because every organ in
the body depends on the stomach fol
| its nourishment. Nerve, bone, sinew,
blood are made from the food which
the stomach converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with
this, that and the other remedy and
neglect the most important of all, the
stomach
The earliest symptoms of indiges-
ton are sour risings, bad taste in the
mouth, gas in stomach and bowels,
palpitation, all-gone feeling, faintness,
headaches. constipation; later comes
loss of flesh, consumption, liver and
heart troubles, kidney diseases, ner-
vous prostration, all of which are the
indirect result of poor nutrition.
ANY person suffering from indiges-
ton should make it a practice to take
after each meal one of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, allowing it to dissolve
in the mouth and thus mingle with
the saliva and enter the stomach in
the most natural way. These tablets
are highly recommended by DIR. Jen-
rison because they are composed of
the natural digestive acids and fruit
essences which assist the stomach in
digesting all wholesome food before it
has time to ferment and sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by druggists, full sized packages at
so cents. They are also excellent for

OCCASION no regret among the lovers
of the game. The town is a dead one
and has been from time immemorial.
Ginger and enterprise and up-to-date-
ness are unknown quantities there.
1t is simply big chunk of rust on
the Mississippi bottoms and should
never more be prodded in an effort to
rouse it from its torpidity. 1t is only
loss of time and energy.
'.Quincy's record as tiunker
should have barred it from the West
ern association this year. With rare
exceptions it has never been anything
but a sponge tosser in basketball
1t can promise more and perform less
than any city in America. 1t has
been given the same start as smaller
cities and enjoyed the same advant-
ages, but year after year it has been
the first to cry quits. 1t bursts with
a good team and it bursts with poor
one, and so unsavory has its record
become that were it to have team
impossible to beat and 10000 people
out to see them play, people would
listen every morning for the explosion
that would indicate Quincy had laid
down.
Baseball, it is true, has never been
a gold mine in minor league ranks.
But it is pretty good advertisement
for a hustling town and it also indi-
Gates the competitive spirit that
makes life worth living. You don't
find this in Quincy. The city is full
of Rip Van Wrinkles and baseball jars
them. Year after year Quincy has
been taken in only to leave her sister
cities in the lurch. She should be
passed up forever. Hereafter when
the organization of baseball league
is proposed, the answer from every
town will be, Not if Quincy is in it..
and n good and proper answer it will
be, too. Quincy is an incubus. It's
a wilmer, a drag and a gutter! There
is more enterprise in half Il block in
Rockford than there is in all Quincy.
Quincy is so dead it smells, and the
dead should be left alone. Vale,
Quincy, from the Western association
and everything else that requires
push and energy" .s.a

ENOCH VS.. MITCHELL
CONTEST OVER OFFICE OF 20.
LICE JUDGE.
EnOch Will Take the Case to the
District Court at Once.

Judge Enoch went over yesterday and
demanded the Office of police judge to
which he was elected by a majority of 1856
over the fusion candidate, but Judge
Mitchell, who was appointed by Mayor
Ross last July, refused to give up. The
law creating the metropolitan police COM
mission, which has been in force for seven
years, provided that the police judge
should be appointed by the police COM
missioners. Last July Governor Leedy
abolished the police commission and Mayor
Ross appointed Mitchell. ast winter the
legislature repealed the metropolitan po-
lice law but failed to provide any method
for the selection of a police judge. Mr..
Mitchell was appointed by Mayor Ross and
confirmed by the council and claims under
the existing circumstances that he is en-
titled 70 the office until the expiration Of
his term in July, 1900. Mayor Ross has
accepted En0chs bond and caused GER
tffcate Of election to be issued but says
ne does not see that he has any author
ity to remove Mr.. Mitchell, since he has
been confirmed by the council and since
the law makes no provision in the matter.
Mr.. Enoch will take the case TO the dis
trict court
