Senators Eot Ambitious.

The series with the Athletics in this
city should be u trifle more difficult to
land. but while the Athletics have the
confidence born of victory Lotus ag-
gregation know they have no incentive
TO play their best. and there is no rea-
son 10 believe they will unduly exert
themselves.
Boston will wind up its season here.
and if St Louis can only take brace
and get within easy hailing distance of
the Beaneaters the contests in this city
should be more than ordinarily exciting
especially as the Senators are thorough
IL convinced that if there is one club in
the league they can wallop and wallop
for fair. it is the Massachusetts delega
ton So, with Boston and st. Louis
fighting for second place, and with the
Loftusites under the impression that
they amount to something when pittcd
against the Beaneaters, the people who
attend the games should get run for
their money.
There is a very bright chance that
Cleveland will finish in the first division.
and that Chicago, at one time during
the season touted a sure thing winner.
will be compelled 10 head the second
division of the league. with Washington
In sixth place.

Entitled 20 a Good Team.

Washington should be entitled TO rs
good a team as Cleveland, as there is
not city in the league that enjoys such
q stcadfast patronage as the Senators.
Other teams IN the American League
have secured players during the season,
Enc yet the local management has set
Up the defense that players are not TO

have manager who awakcns at Z

Manager Lotus Is bncli from his

and has contracts with several new men
for nexs season. No one with good
idea OF tho local situation Will venture
the prediction that the Senators will
land the pernant next season or finish

GAME is CALLED OFF
High School and Augustana Girls
Not to Meet To-
night

The game of basketball which was
to have been played between the girls
of Rock Island high school and those
of Augustana college this evening at
the college gymnasium. has been de
clared off. An endeavor is being
made this afternoon to arrange for IA
game between the Rock Island and
Davenport high school girls. In the
event of ii failure the first and sec
ond teams of the former institution
will play. The game between the
boys teams of Rock Island and Day-
export high schools will be played as
announced.
The reason for the cancelling of
the game with the girls of Augustana
college was the refusal of President
Andreen to certify that three of the
members of the college team which
was to have played are bona fide stu
dents, and the rules of the High
School Athletic association forbid
the game.

az am near siXty-eight years of age,

four or five years been much afflicted with

described in your almanac that decided
to try Peruna.

The 9th infantry has only 300 men,
some companies being reduced to a
score. The other regiments are re-
duced nearly as much. According to
the statements of people coming
from the southern waters the con-
ditions prevailing are sufficient to
cause the gravest apprehension.
General Smith, when seen the otner
day by an officer. who has just re-
turned from Samar, said that the
commands would send men out for
two or three days and if they were
fortunate enough to get back they
invariably had to be sent 20 the hos
pital
There also seems to be some trouble
among the officers. When General
Smith issued his orders. some of them
were to the effect that natives found
outside of the towns were To he
shot. In some cases this has been
strictly adhered to. but i'm others Of
ficcrs have issued passes To the ma
tives i'm their district permitting them
to go beyond the lines. On several
occasions these natives with passes
have wandered over into the territory
of some officer who was following
out his orders. and have been shot.
This has caused no end of trouble
and friction. At this time of the
Year Samar is being deluged by n
constant downpour of rain and the
rivers are swollen To such an extent
that il is well-nigh impossible to move
troops, except at the risk of losing
many valuable lives.

OF catarrh. 1 had catarrh .or twelve

Thousands of people have catarrh who
would be surprised to know it, because
it has been called some other name than
catarrh. The fact is, catarrh is catarrh
wherever located; and another fact
which is of equally great Importance, is
that Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.
Catarrh is an American disease. Fully
one-half of the people are afflicted more
or less with it in some form. Previous
to the discovery of Peruna, catarrh was
Considered well nigh incurable. Since

Of the United States Circuit Court when
he was called upon TO answer TO an indict-
