Hartman caught the game in his usual
fine style and won the applause Of the
grand stand for his work.
The team will go to Spirit Lake Sun
day to meet the Marquette team and
they propose to put up game that will

do the pitching for the home team and
with good support he ought to be able
to win the game. An effort was made
to secure Hillebrand for this game but

LOST THE LAST GAME.
The Home Base Ball Club Went up
Against a Hard Proposition
in the Marquettes.

Once more and for the last time the
Mitchell ball team went down to defeat
Sunday. The home team went to
Spirit Lake that day to play . game
with the Marquettes of Chicago, and the
latter team came out with . strong
team, putting McGill, the national
league pitcher, in the box against the
local players. In spite of this the home
team made come good hits off the re-
nowned twirler. 1t was in the first in
ming that our boys showed up 30 dis
a.trously. WATSON went in to pitch
and in some way he developed strong
streak of favoritism for the Marquettes
for he gave them seven passes to first
base and after that they hit him several
times and coupled with the errors made
on the infield the Marquetts chalked
nine scores, enough to win the game
easily.
For eight innings the home team
made fritless attempts to score although
they we're hitting the ball well but not
safe enough to produce scores. In the
eighth inning there was every indi-
cation that several scores would result.
Without single man out and three
men on bases Mackay placed fly into
left field and among the crowds of peo.
pie. The umpire decided that the
Marquette man caught it and declared
him out, while all who stood in the
crowd maintained that Mackay wae
safe and that the fielder caught the
ball on the bound. Three more scores
would have been added had the decis'
ism been otherwise. In the ninth in
ming our team lit on McGill for severa
hits and got in four scores. Snyder
the kid, made . pretty hit to right fielc
and brought in score and Mackay die
the same thing that netted two runs
and another hit brought in the fourth
score.
/ After the first inning the boys set
tied down to the game in fine shape ant
played some swift ball, but the bes
team on earth could not win out sgains
that umpire, whose decisions wer'
fearful in the extreme and the Grove
expressed it's strong disspproval of him
Klock, Lange and Mackay made fin

game that brought the rooters to thei

season and the most of them went t

SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.
A Certain Cure for : Commou and An
nuyipg Disease.

Many people suffer from piles because
after trying the many salves. ointments
and lotions without relief or cure, have
come to the conclusion that surgical
opera ton is the only thing left to Try
and rather than submit 10 the shock
and risk Of life Of an operation, prefer
10 suffer on.
Fortunately this is no longer neces-
sary, as new preparation has been
discovered which cures every form OF
piles, without pain, Inconvenience or
detention from business.
II Is IN the form Of supposltories'
easily applied at night, Is absolutely
free from cocaine, opium or any inJuri-
Gus drug whatever and no matter how
severe the pain, gives instant relief,
not by deadenlng the nerves OF the part
effected. but rather by It's healing,
soothing effect upon the congested, SEN
ative membranes.
The name Of this preparation Is Pyra-
mid Pile Cure and Is undoubtedly the
most effective, safest and most exten-
sively sold Of any pile cure that has
ever been placed before the public
This reputation has been secured by
reason of its extraordinary merit and
the reasonable price at which II Is sold,
all druggists from Maine 20 California
selling 1t at soc. for full sized treatment,
and In many cases a single package has
been sufficient
A person takes serious chances In
neglectlng a simple case Of piles, as the
trouble soon becomes deep seated and
chronic, frequently developing into
fatal incurable rectal diseases like ils-
tua and cancer of rectum.
Any druggist will tell you the Pyra-
mid is the safest and most satisfactory
pile cure known to the medical fra
ternity

there were today signs OF a peaceful
settlement The signs were few and

conference with Judge Pryor Lewis

clared that Gov. Taylor and the h ub-
lican party were anxious to avoid any
thing that might possibly lead TO serl-

might do, If nothing was done TO pre-
vent Il.
He was assured by the Democratic
attorneys that they were as anxious 10
save any clash between the parties as
the Republicans could be.
There is very little heard now about
London, and there seems to be a gener-
al feeling among the Democrats and
Republicans alike that the next regular
