turned with her father Friday who
stopped off here for the Carnival on
his way home from Chicago.

The Sixth Annual Harvest Carni-
val held here last Thursday passed
off without any accidents or any
thing; to mar the pleasure Of the day.
The weather was all that could be
desired and the crowd was the larg-
est ever assembled in Earlville. The
grounds in Jas. Reeder's grove
were crowded from early in the
forenoon until late in the evening.
The speeches by Geo. Staehle ST.,
John Claus and I. NJ. Gibson were
all excellent and held the attention
of a large number Of people. The
ball game between Worthington
and Manchester was a walk away
for the latter team, the score being
20 to 4. 1t was poor exhi bition
of the game but no team could be
secured to make it interesting for
Manchester. The balloon ascension
and parachute leap by Madame
Dockstader was good and was even
better thanslast year, although she
made q good ascension then. The
Delhi and Hopkinton bands furnish
ed an abundance of music during
the day and the Carnival officials
were well pleased with their produc-
tions. The dance in the evening
was attended by Ito couples, the
music being furnished by Carpen-
tiers Orchestra Of McGregor. AL
together it was pleasureable day
and all who attended pronounce
this Carnival the best ever held
here. s.;ss

The Deadly Toy Pistol.

Beware of the toy pistol. Strange
TO say, the toy pistol and the blank
cartridge have almost as many vic
Tins each year as the regulation re-
volver with it's missile of lead. The
toy pistol has more victims than the
one that shoots bullet, because it
causes wounds that produce lockiaw
Each year there are the usual blank
cartridge wounds and their sequel,
lockjaw, which follows in large per-
| centage of injuries of this kind. Full
ly half of the deaths caused by lock-
jaw annually are due to injuries from
blank cartridges; that is to say, half
| of the annual mortality from this
disease occurs just after the Fourth
of July celebration, and in the ma
jority of instances is caused by the
blank cartridges. The reason for this
may be explained that the wounds
thus produced are not given the i'm
portance they deserve by the child or
parent, probably on account of the
nature of the wound, not assuming
alarming proportions until il is too
late TO accomplish "a thorough cleans
ing of the wound.
Wounds caused by exploding giant
crackers and various other devices
are not nearly so liable to be followed
by tetanus as are those produced by
the blank cartridges, although all
forms of these injuries should receive
the immediate care of the physician.
however trifiing they may seem. 1t
would really be about as sensible to
give your boy Winchester and belt
full of cartridges as a toy pistol,

The National American Game.

The national game"-baseball-
seems to be enjoying a revival at the
present time There is no greater
evidence of that fact than that in
Springfield. where, the State Register
says. baseball enthusiasm died and
was inferred at a great depth several
years ago, it has been awakened from
the dead and is taking on new life.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean has been
impressed by the revival of the game
and is particularly offended because
the statement was made in a dis
patch from Boston, where 10000 peo-
pie turned out to see baseball game,
that Boston "was baseball mad" This
Chicago paper argues that baseball
enthusiasm is not madness, but de-
notes an inclination on the part of
the American people to enjoy recre-
alton and to ''whoop it up for base
ball, because it is good game, free
from brutality or bloodshed, and be-
cause it is a healthfuI, interesting
sport.
This contention Of the Inter-Ocean
Is all right. 1t is a fact that the game
of baseball is being enthusiastically
revived. The strife between the
leagues and the jealousies between
presidents of clubs and managers
sickened the lovers of baseball. Then.
TOO. the game was neglected With
this strife eliminated, and with a con-
scientious effort made TO present good

Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Ten
Years of Suffering.

Il wish to say few words in praise
of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy" says Mrs. Matte
Burge, of Martinsville, Va. Il suffer
ed from chronic diarrhoea for 10
years and during that time tried var
ious medicines without obtaining any
permanent relief. Last summer one
of my children was taken with chol-
era morbus, and l procured a bottle
of this remedy. Only two doses were
required to give her entire relief. L
then decided to try the medicine my
self, and L did not use all of one bot
tie before 1 was well, and have never
since been troubled with that com
plant. One cannot say too much in
favor of that wonderful medicine"
This remedy is for sale by all drug
