1T GIVES BETTER AND QUICKER
HELP

Albert c. Smith, the president of the
Suffolk Hospital and Dispensary, 4
Charter street. Boston, Mass, writes
that DR.. David kennedy's Favorite
Remedy gives better and quicker help
for diseases of the Kidneys, Liver,
Bladder and Blood and in acute cases of
rheumatism than any medicine in our
institution. In many instances where
patients were suffering most intensely
and nothing seemed to help them, Fa-
vortc Remedy was prescribed and the
patient cured by its use. We would not
want to be without it."
There is no question that DR.. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the best
and surest medicine for diseases Of the
kidneys, liver bladder and blood, rheu-
mauism, dyspepsia and chronic consti-
patton, as we'll as the weaknesses pc
culi2r to women. 1t quickly relieves
and cures inability to hold urine and
the necessity of getting up number of
times during the night and puts an
end to that scaldinS pain when passing
water.
Druggists sell it in New so Cent Size
and the regular $1.00 size bottles.

Comiskey After Players.

Chicago, Aug. General reorganiza-

to which President Comiskey has ad-
dressed himself since the return of the
club from its last eastern trip The
fruit of his efforts was about to be real
lied, but the Western league magnate
he was dickering with baked. and now
he cannot get the new infielder he was
looking for until August 26, just before
the club goes east again.
This new acquisition is to be a third
baseman, and Manager Callahan will be
shifted to second, replacing George Ma
COON, who was given to Comisky for
"CozyY Dolan, with Tom Daily thrown
in. Comiskey has two other youngsters
in view-an American association play
er and a Texas leaguer-but cannot get
them.
1t is the infield of the team that re-
quires overhauling. At short Comiskey
has a high priced minor Lacquer, who
does not come up to expectations as an
infieIder, and who is also weak at the
bat.

MOB VICTIM GETTING EVEN.
Has Farmers Arrested at Eureka for
Rough Treatment.

Eureka, Aug IN ]. Merrick,
young farm hand, was the victim of
mob violence at Madison, town north
of here, Thursday. Merrick was escort
ed about a half mile out of town, follow
ed by a mob of jeering men and boys.
who hit him with stones. pricked him
with sticks, and otherwise Inundated
him, finally issuing an ultimatum To
the effect that it would be decidedly I'M
healthful for the young farmer to return
to the town.
Merrick Immediately came to Eureka
and asked the county attorney regard
ing redress for his treatment. Warrants
were issued for William Pettyjohn, J. S.
Elliott, Arthur Elliott. Albert Hale, Tom
Scott, Frank Scott, Frank Hale, Solo
mon Michelin, w. r. Bullion, Troy Car
rett, Alex Hensley and Will Lewis. All
the men are well known in northern
Greenwood county and gave bond for
their appearance in the district court IN
September.
After securing the arrests on criminal
charges, Merrick, to further offset his
rough treatment, commenced civil ac-
ton against the above defendants for
$4,000 damages.
1t appears the families of Albert Hale
and Tom Williams are neighborS in
Madison. A few days ago Hale had the
Williams children arrested for throwing
stones at his house Merrick was the
star witness for the children, but his
testimony did not meet with the appro-
baton of the court attendants. and he
was escorted out of town. After follow
ing al his heels until Merrick was clear
of the city limits, the spokesman of the
crowd informed the young man that
should he return, he would be an hon
orary guest at necktie party. He i'm
mediately left for Eureka and COM
nenced the above action.

the German folk who, in the latter part
of the seventeenth century, moved into
Russia and settled along the river Vol
ga, being granted the land and exemp-
ton from military service for period
Of one hundred years, which time has
but recently expired.
They are wheat raisers par excellence
and on that crop depend for their live
lihood. In the winter they assemble in
their towns and while away the long
winter months in making merry and
educating the children. the priest being

Nahant. Mass. Aug. 1.-The feature of
Fridays play in the Nahant invitation
tennis tournament was the match be-
tween the Larned brothers and the
Doherty brothers. in which the latter
won, 81, Ga. The Englishmen won by
superior teamwork, their lobbing being
especially good and their placing accur-
ate and well judged. The Larneds' work
was characterized by fine individual
play, and their hard driving and smash
ing kept the Englishmen back from the
net great part of the time. In the
morning the Wrenn brothers finished
their match with Pier and Motley, which
was interrupted Thursday by rain and
won out, 60, 6-3, both pairs playing
in good style. Friday. afternoon the
Wrenns disposed of Seaver and War
land, Ga, Sc. the second set being
cleverly contested by the latter.
AS a result of the afternoons play the
Wrenns and the Dohertys are left in the
doubles finals, but as H. l. Doherty is
scheduled to play in the singles finals
against w. J. Clothier. and as the two
teams do not want to meet before play
ing in the international championship
at London, next week. it was agreed
that AIahoney should take the place of
the younger Doherty.

Game Little Mare Breaks Her Record
at Cleveland Track


Cleveland. o., Aug. LIN spite of a
heavy breeze that blew down the home
stretch, Lou Dillon. owned by c. K. G.
Billings, of Chicago, and driven by Mil
lard Sanders, succeeded in breaking her
record Friday afternoon at the Chenille
track. That she did not break the worlds
record for trotters, 2:02A, held by
Cresceus for two years, was due entire
ly to the wind, as she went to the three
quarter pole in 1:31A. But for the wind
she would have made the last quarter in
80 seconds. AS it was, it took her one
second longer, the time for her mile be-
ing 2;0234, beating her own previous
time by q of a second and beating The
Abbott's time half a second A crowd
of about 1000 persons witnessed the ex-
hibition and enthusiastically cheered the
beautiful little mare and her clever dri-
yer.
Dan Patch the pacing champion, also
went a fast mile. Announced to go
warming mile in about 2:06. he was
driven by Myron McHenry, in 2:021z,
pacing the last half in 1:001z.
In the regular events of the afternoon
two horses repeated winning their sec
ond races of the meeting. The first race
of the day, the 2:2T trot. was won by
Robinzola, who won the last race Thurs
day. The Z:22 pace was won by Ebony
King, who won the PIG pace Tuesday.
The 2:07 pace, the fastest regular event
of the day. went to Winfield Stratton In
straight heats, Captain Sphinx being
second in each. Charlie Hayt, of whom
much was expected, made poor show
ing, although he set the pace for the
first half in the second heat, making
that distance in 1902. The effort tired
him, however, and he finished last
George Muscovite was the best Of a
large field in the 2:15 trot and won in
