Queer how many cases of grip develop

If the city would pay the grocery

It is already noticeable that prospec-

much pleasanter to q chump who lives

Mr.. Bryan, in a speech at Chicago,
said that a man who wanted to do any

the party. 1t is probably incidental,
but Mr. Cleveland went duck hunting

Mr.. Frederick s. Talbot is missing

Akron has taken a step in the right
direction in starting a crusade against
the smoke nuisance. There is no OBJ
lection to the operation of plants that
use fuel that makes smoke, but the OBJ
lection is to the fact that the smoke
's not utilized or at least consumed to
such a degree as will abate the nuisance
feature. The question has been solved
in other cities and there is no reason
why it should not be solved successfully
in Canton.

1t cannot help but be remarked that

The court instructed the grand jury

If Mr.. Carnegie is really behind that

Now that council has insisted on an

reason why the employees should not get

Transfers at II: 80 o'clock will do for a

HOPEFUL VIEW

The hopeful view consump-
tives take Of their own cases is
strongly in their favor. Each
year is showing a larger per-
centage of cures.
One of the best reasons for
good hope is the record of
SCOTS Emulsion as a medicine
for consumptives. So long as
the system is strong enough to
use medicine of any kind it can
use SCOTS Emulsion.
The reason for its helpful,
ness in this disease is because
of its long tolerance by the
patient; one does not tire of
it as quickly as other medi-
cines and that is where the
great benefit comes.

basketball team met it's second defeat
Of the day at the hands of the Web
ster team, last years Massachusetts,
Basketball League champions, in the
Town Hall, tonight. In the afternoon
the Lyceums did the unexpected by
defeating Millbury by a score of q to
10, in an exhibition game. Tonight S
game was a championship contest and
Millbury wanted to win, but fates
were against them, and Christmas
Day will go down in history as a dark
day for the Millbury team.
The fans were not altogether salts
fed with the work of Referee O'Reilly
of Webster, who officiated. They claim
! that the official named for the game
should have been other than resi-
| dent of the town their opponents
hail from. But for all that, unpre-
| JUDGED spectators say Millbury was
clearly outplayed and never had a
chance to win.
There came near, being a riot toward
the close of the game. While there
were As seconds to play, Referee
| OReilly, thinking time was UP, called

excitement, but the Millbury manager

Woonsocket, Dec. 25.-The Father
Mathew basketball team played a cham
pionship game in Harris Hall this after
noon and laid it all over the Rhode Is
landers, winning handily by score of
% to 6. Had the visitors been in good
trim they might have doubled their
score.
There was but one redeeming feature to
the work of the home team and that was
Individual plays contributed by Midget"
Kennedy. He was not in the game during
the first half but was pressed into service
in the second period when Woonsocket
was hopelessly in the rear and contribut-
ed two pretty baskets from the field the
only points the home team scored except
as gifts on free tries. He was heartily
applauded by the spectators time and
time again. He played Noonan to a
standstill while he was on the floor.
Crossman, the old Millbury star, cap
tanned the home team. He played fairly
well but showed the lack of practice.
In the first half Noonan was against
Blackler and had picnic, throwing five
baskets from the field and having his OPP
ponent on the run from start to finish.
Cairns against Quinn played a star game,
scoring two baskets from the field that
were exceptionally brilliant pieces OF
work.
The first half ended with the score 10 to
1 in favor of Father Mathew. Kennedy
entered the game at the opening of the
second period and the playing was much
faster. Crossman and Quinn did some
good passing and Kennedy succeeded IN
getting the ball into the net twice. The
400 spectators were up in the air all
through the half.
