where in Cincinnati there is a sad-lool1inss
young man waiting for telegram or

who refuses to give his name. is the victim
of St. Louis ticket broker, thr ough whose
a cheaper rate than an ordinary. rail-
road ticket would cost him. He purchased
ticket from a scalper in St Louis that
was supposed to take him from the Mound

stamp on the back had been erased with
acids and new date fixed. Another por-
ton of his lesson was the information that
if he wanted to go on to Cincinnati he
would have to mortgage his trunk TO the
railroad company, and that is what is
keeping him here now until he hears from
the folks at home. Inquiry by 1.-THE Bafti-

ottawa 90: ST. Marvs Q.

ST. Marys. Kan. Nov. OTTAWA de-
feated st. Marys college here by a score
of % to 0. The local team went into the
game in badly crippled condition. but
despite their injuries made plucky fight
and put up a good article of football
Their failure to score was not due to total
inability to advance the ball Several
times when headed up the field and MAX
ing steady gains trick plays were resorted
to with loss, and CAPTAIN Pierceall was
forced to punt. Lamphier and Dunphy
made their yards whenever called upon
and easily carried off the hcnors on Of
fensive work. Ottawa relied on Baughman
and Kerens for most of the gains, al
though the halves and ends occasionally
took the ball. In the second half Thomp-
son broke away from the bunch and went
sixty five yards for touchdown. Otta-
wa scored but one in the first half. The
St. Marys defense was good and the Wis
itors were held for downs on the four
yard line in the second half. St. Marys
lost three of her hardest players and af-
ter that ottawa made long gains at will
For St. Marys Purcell and Ryan put up a
star defense. saving several touehdowns.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
symptomsof a Very Common TroubIeT

There is no disease so common in the
United States as catarrh because it APP
pears in so many forms and attacks SO
many different organs.
1t IS a common mistake to suppose
that catarrh is confined to the nose ana
throat. Any Inflammation of the mu-
cous membrane wherever located ac-
cCmDanied by abnormal secretions, is
catarril. Catarrh of stomach or bladder,
or intestines. is nearly as common as
nasal catarrn and much more serious.
although it is true that stomach catarrh
and catarrh of other internal organs is
the result of neglected nasal catarrh.
a new remedy has recently appeared
which SO far as tested seems to be re-
markedly effective in promptly curing
catarrh, wherever located. The DreDa-
ration is sold by druggists generally un-
der the name of Stuarts Catarrh Tab
lets. and in addition to being very pal
atable and convenient. possesses ex-
1 tracrdinarv merit. in many cases Civ
f ing immediate RELIEF from the coughing,
/ hawking and. constant clearing of the
{ throat. and head, these symptoms with
which everyone is familiar who has ever
suffered from colds in the head and
throat.
catarrh. is simply a continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble be-
comes chronic and grows gradually
worse from year to year
/ yStuaIt's Catarrh Tablets are composed
Of Hydrastin. Red Gum and similar
antiseptics and catarrh specifics, from
which it will be seen that no secret is
made of the ingredients and also that nc
mineral speisons are used, as is the case

 Peoria, H., Aug. 11.--A bold attempt was made at noon to-day to fire the business portion of the city. The losses include Horace Clark & Sons mill, s100,000; Neumiller's livery barn and twenty horses, $50,00O; OLeary's under taking establishment, $25,000. The Neu- miller livery company's barns at 600 Adams street were fired by an incen- diary and twenty horses were suffocat- ed. The entire stock of carriages was destroyed. The O'Leary undertaking establishment and contents are total loss. The Neumiller barns are in 8 thickly built up section of the city and at this time it is feared the flames will spread to adjoining buildings. Previous to this fire an attempt was made to fire the store rooms and offices of the Val Blatz Brewing company, a few blocks away, and residence was fired early to-day. The firebug has played havoc in Peoria for months and the re- ward of $500 does not effect his cap- ture.
