SOCIAL DOINGS.

Last evening a party of 16 young
ladies called at the home of Miss
Jeanette Mosenfelder in honor of
her 10th birthday. The hostess had
not been appraised of what was in
store and she was taken entirely by
surprise. The evening was devoted
to games and music and a delectable
lunch was served. The guests were
all high school students and the ma
jority were members of the freshman
class, to which Miss MOsenfelder be-
longs.

Severe Attack of Grip Cured by One Bottle
of ChamberlaIn'a Couch Remedy.


of ChamberlaIn's Cough Remedy.
"When l had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) l actual
ly cured myself with one bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" says
Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enter
prise, Shortsville. n. Y. This is the
honest truth. L at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by taking
teaspoonful of this remedy, and
when the coughing spell would come
on at night l would take dose and
it seemed that in the briefest inter
val the cough would pass off and L
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and its accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as a
most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. L had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because 1 had never tried 1T
for such a purpose, but it did, and it
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration. but the pains
were far less severe, and I had not
used the contents of one bottle before
Mr. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale

feeling; the liver, bowels and kid

Lamar VI Holly.

The Athletic baseball club went
upto Lamar Saturday to play ball.
The weather was MS fine as could
be desired and the Eoys on the
way up appeared to feel good and
their confidence in victorious day
was plainly visible on ench face.
But there was undoubtedly some
thing wrong with the ground. or
perhaps the boys were awed at the
red suits of Lamars. that caused
them to break away on the fifth
inning and let their opponents
do all the playing for the balance
of the game. Holly went to the
bat first, Momyer making one score
before they were sent to the field.
They sent Lamar back to the field
with out a mark to their credit.
Three ciphers for Holly was the
record in the second while Lamar
scored three times. Up to this
time Pitcher Momyer had been
manipulating the ball in such a
manner that none of the Lamars
seemed able to find it, But it
looked as if theyFcaught onto his
combination all at once, and be-
gan making hits with distressing
regularity.
In the third Holly failed to
score: Lamars adding one more to
their list. The same thing was
done in the fourth. In the fifth
Lamar got busy and Holly got
ratified. the former setting their
score up eleven pegs. while Holly
had to be content with two.
Willie Nayne. the indian boy,
then wentinto the box. and sue
ceeded in shutting Lamar out with
three scores in the sixth and goose
eggsin the seventh and eighth,
Holly was very weak at the bat,
however, and during the last four
innings only two scores were mado
Rev. Tyre and Zsck Taylor.
The game began at ten and end
ed at 1890. Score Lamar 49,,
Holly 5, the former having one
inning due.
The game although too much
one sided to be interesting was Il
very pleasant one throughout and
all who went from here. were we'll
pleased with the treatment accord
ed them by the Lamar boys.

The Santa Fe railroad has dealt

landed right in the region of the
stomach. The jobbers rates on
provisions from Hutchinson, Kan
sag, to points in this state which
has been in effect for years and en-
abled the merchants to get their
goodsat freight rate that was
considered fairly reasonable was
removed on Nav third and now
the regular standard rate prevails,
making an increase of over fifty
percent in the freight rate. The
new rate does not apply to points
in Kansas, however, and the Holly
merchants are able to overcome
the raise toa great extent by hav.
ing their goods shipped 10 Cool
idge and hauling them up from
there by wagon, which they are
now doing. One merchant told us
the other day that he saved six
dollars in freight on one wagon
load Of goods by getting them in
that way This change of freight
rates is n great injustice to the
people along the line in Colorado
and it is certainly very poor way
to build up the country, thing

The SandhillS of Peru

In Harper's Magazine for July, Err
nest c. Rost tells Of the curious trav-
cling sand crescents Of Peru which
move across the desert:
after passing another town Of
three or four mud huts, we enter the
famous desert of Islay, on which are
what l consider the most remarkable
natural curiosities to be seen on this
globe" says Mr.. Rost; for we are
now among hundreds-nay, thousands
of pure white sand crescents, on a
plateau of $500 feet above the level
of the sea, and fifty-four miles from
the coast, where all else is of a dark
red or chocolate color. Whence comes
this sand, and why always in cres-
cent shape? Prof. Bailey, whom | af-
forwards met at Arequipa in charge
of the Harvard university observatory
told me that scientific men do not
agree as to the reason why the sand
always forms the same crescent shape,
