Here comes Kewanee with a story
about getting into the Three-Eye
league. The papers over in the Henry
county town say that Belden Hill has
written letter to Manager Brady of
the Kewanee baseball team in which
he expresses a desire that that town
may have Il place in the league. The
Kewanee papers accept this as official,
arguing that in view of Hills refusal
to manager the Cedar Rapids team
there will be no Rabbits in another
year. and that will leave vacancy.
Further. that as Mr.. Hill will be can
didate for president to succeed Mr..
Sexton, he will probably be elected.
and his word at this time carries some
weight. Viewed by an outsider it APP
pears that there are a great many ifs
in the way of Kewanee's getting Il
franchise.

Paine's Celery Compound comes to

Compound makes sick people WE'LL
Mrs. Mack says:
Several years ago I was stricken
with nervous prostration, and two
doctors declared that no medical skill
could ever cure me. One of your books
came into my hands just when was
very low with nervous prostration and
congestion. After reading it. asked
and begged for Paine's Celery COM
pound. The medicine was procured
for me. and you may think l am using
exaggerating statements when I say
that three bottles cured me, and made
me feel like a new woman. My pres

to the marvellous virtues of Paine's
Celery Compound. l cannot say
enough in favor of this wonderful
medicine; it is a Godsend to all weak,
