PARK CITYS WIN.
Bowling Tournament at Central Park
Ends Friday Evening With Sur
prise to BOWlers.
OFFICIALS FIRM IN LAST PLACE
The Independents, Supposed to be Cert ain
Winners of the Big Prize, Fall
to Third Place.

Kenosha won first and last places in
the great Bowling tournament at
Central Park, which has been the main
topic n sporting circles in Kenosha
for the last two weeks, and which was
ended Friday evening by the Park
Citys of this city winning decisive
victory over the Standards, of Racine,
and the title to the champions ship of
the two counties. The eight teams
have been Contesting for the prize for
the last two weeks, and until the finish
of the final game it was thought that
the Independents of this city had an
easy victory for the trophy, but 'of all
sad words of tongue or pen the saddest
are these, it might have BEEN
The Park Citys never played such a
game before as they put up against
the Standards Friday evening, and the
large score made was sufficient to cut
the Independents out of first place by
a margin of twenty-one points. The
City Officials are in disgrace, for the
close of the contest finds them safely
placed at the tail end Of the column,
and the glory of the City Hall is
ecl1psed by the ignon1iny over the fact
that the Kenosha Officials were not
able to beat out single Racine or Ke-
nosha team. The final result of the
tournament is given out as follows:
Park Citys, Independents, Standards
of Racine, Bee Hives, Sch1itz Globes,
Villas of Racine, Belle Citys of RAJ
cine, and lastly the Kenosha City
Officials.
It is reported that the Independents
are very sore over their defeat and are
now clamoring for game with the
winners. No one has heard of any of
the City Officials seeking a game and
it is said that the Official team will be
disbanded at once.
The score for the game Friday even
inc was as follows:

1t is reportednn that John Schlax and
Miss Theresa Ludwig, of the town of
Brighton, were married in Chicago on
Tuesday last. The announcements will
come as quite surprise to many of
the friends of the young people in the
county. This paper expresses best
wishes for long and happy married
life.
J. Q. Hood, Justice of the Peace,
Crosby, Miss, makes the following
statement: ''I can certify that One

L. G. Bohmrich announces that he
will not accept the nomination for
Congress in the First district. Since
his name was placed before the dis
trict he has been flooded by letters
from his political friends urging him
to accept the honor, but after due con-
sideration he has concluded that the
fight is not worthy of his steel. The
race will now be open again for the
chronic candidate, Clinton Rabbit, of
Be1oit.
Kid O'Brien, of Racine, is looking
for a fight and thinks that Deacon
Dodge of this city is the proper man
for him to go up against. Well from
the way the ''Kid'' has been fighting
in the past he would stand about as
much chance against the Kenosha
champion as Kid Mccoy would stand
if pitted against champion Jim
to fight we suggest that he tackle
Jimmy Rice and if there is enough of
him left to take back to Racine we
will be greatly mistaken.
The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of a demon within
man. Any one who has had an at
tack of sciatic or infammatory rheu-
matism will agree that the infection is
demoniac enough to warrant the be-
lief. It has never been claimed that
Chamberlain Pain Balm would cast
out demons, but it will cure rheuma-
tisn1, and hundreds bear testimony to-
the truth of this statement. One ap-
p1ication relieves the pain, and this
quick relief which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. For sale by

We note with disgust that the lawn
trespassers have begun their attacks
on Central park. Notwithstanding the
fact that Mr.. Simmons has just COM
p1eted a splendid walk in all parts of
the park, these fends, who care nothing
for the property of others, are cutting
again. It probably saves them as much
as two feet in their walk down town to
cut through the newly graded lawn.
Now this must stop and if the people
have not pride enough to keep on the
walks which have been laid out the city
should take the matter in hand and
make few prosecutions. Mr.. Sim
mons has spent over S150,Oo0 in beauti-
flying Central park and he certa1nly
has a right to ask the people to walk
on the walks laid out and not trespass
on the newly graded portions OF the
park.

GREAT

Twenty-Five Millions to be Expended
ON the B. & o.
CHICAGO, January 1.-THE Record
tomorrow will say:
Plans for the expenditure of $25, 000,-
900 in improving the physical condi-
ton of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
have been completed and within the
next three years that vast amount of
money will have been expended. I'm
provements of roadbeds, bridges, tracks,
and equipment will be made on all lines
of the system.
The present rapid development of
earning power of the system has led
the directors to the belief that a large
percentage of the $25, 900, 900 can be
spared from surplus earnings. AL
though the detailed plans Of improve
ment have not been made public yet,
1t is said that a great percentage Of
the money will be spent in improving
the line between Chicago and Pitts
burg.

Quality Merits Reward.

The following is a copy of a New
Years telegram wired to all the whole
sale customers of the Anheuser-BuSch
Brewing Assn of st. Louis, Mo.
Predictions made in our last years
message are far surpassed by u trade
reports for 1899. We have reached the
highest point of production in u his
tory. Quality recognizes no competitor
and instead of yielding has made guam
tity it's commercial ally. We lead in
both. Our motto, Nothing is too good
for the American people, has found
prompt and generous response every
where, and in return we send with a
hearty good will our wishes for a happy
New Year to you and all our friends.
"Adolphus Busch, President"
The remarkable business showing of
this concern fully warrants the above,
inasmuch as the fiscal reports of the
Internal Revenue Department show a
decrease of 912, 900 barrels in the on
sumption of beer against the preceding
fiscal year, which may, in a measure,
be attributed to the war tax OF S1.00
per barrel, imposed on July !, 1898. The
output of the Aforementioned Brewing
Assn, being the largest in the world,
should naturally have shown the great
est loss; yet their sales for the fiscal
year just ended exceed those of any
previous year In the history Of the as
ISOLATION.
Their sales of bottled beer alone have
increased 80 4-10 per cent, which Is
conclusive evidence that a good article
finds a good market among an appre-
ciative public and that quality merits
reward"

Serious Case of Illness Reported
From the Use of Impure Baking
Powder.
Johnstown, Penn, Tribune.
The poisoning of the Thomas family,
of Thomas Mill, Somerset Co., four
members of which were reported to
have been made dangerously i'll by i'm
pure baking powder used in mixing
buckwheat cakes, has been further in
vestigated.
The original can with the remainder
of the baking powder left over after
mixing the cakes was secured by DR..
Critchield. The powder had been
bought at a neighboring country store,
and was one of the low priced brands.
DR.. Critchield said that the patients
had the symptoms of alum poisoning.
AS the same kind of baking powder is
sold in many city groceries, as well as
country stores, DIR. Critchfeld thought
it important that a chemical examina-
ton should be made to determine its
ingredients. He therefore transferred
the package of powder to DR.. Schill, of
this city, for analysis. DR.. Schills re-
port is as follows:
/ certify that | have examined chem
ically the sample of : bak-
ing powder forwarded to me by DR..
Critchield. The specimen contained
alum.
DR.. Francis Schill, Jr., Analyst.
Alum is used in the manufacture OF
the lower priced baking powders. 1t
is a mineral poison, and for this rea-
son the sale of baking powders on
tanning it is in many cities prohibited.
