The Decatur Review hands us the
following bouquet: 'DOnnelly's team
has been strengthened by the changes
made since it was here last and with
the lick it is hitting it may well be
said to be the strongest the Com
modores have met. Even Rockford,
with its fast infield, does not show as
good and it is no mere talk to say
the bunch from Sections town is one
of the chief factors in the pennant
race"
Scott is giving the Terre Haute
management trouble. He thinks he
is too fast for Central league com
pany, an opinion the fans do not
share in.

The Rockford fans have come TO the
conclusion they have light hitting

The Milwaukee association team

dered off the grounds at Indianapo-

For Il two-bagger that brought in
two men, Oscar Graham, of the Oak

which amounted to $S5.
Cy Terrence, of the Terre Haute
team, who jumped Rock Island last
year, has been arrested for beating a
board bill at Terre Haute.
Stoner, last year with Bloomington,
is catching for Joplin in the Missouri

Green's playing has been highly dis
couraging for the past two or three
games. He lost game at Decatur
outright and yesterday at Blooming
ton contributed largely to the undo

explanation.
Manager DonnelIy's bunch is fight

drufT Germ Discovered.
Finally the scientific student has
discovered Il certain remedy for dan
drutf. When il first became known
that dandruff is the result of a germ
or parasite that digs into the scalp.
and saps the vitality of the hair at
the root, causing falling hair and
badness, biologists set to work to
discover some preparation that will
kill the germ. After a years labor
in one laboratory the dandrutf germ
destroyer was discovered, and it is
now embodied in Newbro's Herpicide,
which, besides curing badness and
thinning hair, speedily and perma-
nently eradicates dandruff. Destroy
the cause, you remove the effect"

WHY RUN FROM RAIN?

"Do you know" said the Observant
Citizen. according 10 the Philadelphia
Press. the habit of running through
the rain is based on a definite fal!acy:
1t is Il common habit. But does il tend
TO minimize the amount OF water fal!-
ing on Il person exposed to the rain?
| am convinced that ii rather aggra-
Yates the situation. BY experience. in
passing the distance of a block, run
ming one time and walking the other,
and at times when the rainfall was
about the same, l found that my
clothes picked up more water and
were consequently damper when | COW
cred the distance in run than they,
were when / walked ii.
There seems to be good reason
for the rather curious fact. Rain falIs
irregularly. Sometimes there is space
of five or six inches between the fall
ing drops, as we have noticed en-
smooth surfaces. like stone Tagging,
and again only the fraction Of an inch
will separate the drops. Water occa-
sionally falls in sheets, but this is not
usual. but Willie lle IAN 10 ii'S"

perpendicular lines described in the
descent. looking straight ahead and
through the lines we will find before
us q sheet of water that is well-nigh
solid We can understand that running
against this sheet Of water will have
very much the same effect wind would
have if its direction forced the rain
in our faces. We simply pick up the
water. and the fact that the spaces
between the drops perpendicularly con-
sidered are greater than the spaces in
any given direction horizontally VIII

thing.

pose you stand perfectly still in the
rain for n space of sixty seconds. then
YOU run through the rain for the same

TO assume that you will pick up more
water in your fight than you will i'll

FASHION OUTLOOK FOR 1904.

As yet it is impossible to say that
any type of dress is to be the one Tor

n desire TO return TO the Old-fashioned
STYLES that prevailed a generation ago,
a desire to DO away with the eXagger-
ated long WASTED effect. and to bring

Of the close fitting and almost too
clinging ones that have found such IA

To acccntuate slendernesS, and nave

loose. graceful ones. and to bring
sharply into prominence the lines or
the bust. But that this has already
been proved Impossible is seen i'll the
great diversity Of gowns. and also III
the combinations of the diverse IDEAS.
There are very few waists made with
the exaggerated straight front and
dispropOrtionately long waist. and yet
there are evening gowns with very
long narrow points in front and quite
