outdojna Expectations.

We are always glad to print in the
Times Republican story about re-
markable success achieved by advertis-
ing, and especially so when the article
advertised is one of superior merit.
Not so very long ago Mcbride &
viii. Marshalltown's most enterprising
druggists, succeeded in getting the DR..
Howard Company to allow them to sell
their Specific for the cure of consupa-
ton and dyspepsia at half price as an
Introductory offer.
The results of this advertising have
been phenomenal, and there has been
hardly a week without Mcbride & Will
being obliged to order fresh supplies.
Such was their confidence in the
remedy that they personally guaran-
teed every package of the Specific that
they sold, and agreed to refund the
money if it did not cure. Their faith
was well founded. for out of the hun
dreds of packages they have sold only
one has been returned.

The defeat Of the aggregation of
ball tossers from Miami by the locals
brings to the minds of the efaithfuls"
game Of about year ago, when the
Miami bunch beat the home boys and
crowed so loud that the echo has been
ringing in the ears Of our boys ever
since, but this, the third game, in
which the Grays have more than wiped
out the disgrace of a year ago.
The Grays started bad by allowing
the visitors two runs, on errors, in the
first inning, and failed to cross the
plate with single tally in their half
Ia the second the Locals framed" a
little different and went after the
visitors with blood in their eyes, and
not riYeTman reached the initial bag.
While in their half they let on the
lanky pitcher from Columbus and
scored three times, leaving them one
to the good. From this point on unit
the finish Of the game the Locals were
never In danger.
In the fifth inning, Bluejacket, who
recently left the Grays, sought to help |
the visitors with some of his slants,
only to find that the Locals were well
with his delivery and that
he was equal to the emergency, but
after two rounds in the box and after
having his shoots swatted to all parts
If the field he retired in favor of the
