To Prevent RAILROAD wrecks

One of our large railroads is pre-
pairing to install a system of electric
signals for the prevention of wrecks.
The new device displays a white sig
nal in the cab for safety and red light
for danger. Nature has also furnish
ed complete system of danger sig
nails which we must observe if we are
to be strong and healthy. Inability to
eat and sleep, nervousness and inn
pure blood are all danger signals of
impaired health. Nature has also pro-
vded a remedy for those who have
neglected their stomach until indiges-
ton. dyspepsia, biliousness, and
chronic constipation have developed,
and that is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. For over so years it has been
building up rundown systems and re-
storing sicllly people to robust health.
Try it.

Springfield took their turn with the
whitewash brush Yesterday afternoon
and clearly satisfied the spectators
that they knew something of the art
played with one or two exceptions,
both pitchers being pulled ont of
some bad holes by some brilliant
fielding. The lineup that the Sena-
tors presented is not to be sneered at,
even though they are holding down
last place safely. They played a fast
snappy game, when they get together,
the work of Neil. an amateur picked
up in the lower end of the state, being
especially fast.
Fred Wenig, who was on Daven-
ports payroll last year, and is this
season drawing stipend from Spring
field for dishing up deceptive shoots,
was in good form and had Donnelly's
men on the fence all the time. OPP
posed to him was Jack Brennan, who
pitched well enough to win an ordin-
airy game, but his teammates were
weak with the willow which tells the
story of their downfall.
The locals only chance for scoring
came in the sixth. Crum was the first
man up and hit safely to left. Dom
nelly hit to Neil. who threw to Eb-
right forcing Crum. With one man
down, Wenig issued transportation to
Nandine and Graham filling the bases.
The rOoters hopes were running high,
when Latimer came to the rubber.
"Tacks" hit down to second. Ebright
snapped the ball to Neil, forcing Ora
ham, and threw Latimer out at first,
completing the double and cutting off
all chance of a score.

Drove In Their Runs.

The Senator's started early. In the
second, after Duvall had gone out,
Dickey to Brennan, Neil doubled.
Lyon hit to Dwyer and was safe ON
an error. Then Reading singled and
Neil came trotting home. Belt and
Wenig were easy ones. In the fourth
the Senator's gathered in another, on
hits by Duvall and Neil. That ended
the scoring for the day although
Springfield came very close on sever
al occasions but fast fielding chopped
them off. The tabulated score is as
follows:
