A BASE BALL BREEZE.
rOmOrrOw's Game viii Be played at 4
O'clock

Tomorrow's Game viii BE Played at 4
O'Clock.
A breeze was created in base ball and
political circles Wednesday, after the hour
for tomorrow's game with the Bondville
team had been changed from 230 to
o'clock when Fred G. Gale notified man
ager d. f. Riley that II the game was
postponed to o'clock the players must
keep off those sections Of the grounds
controlled by him under his lease from
F. d. Fisk. These sections are a part
of the grand stand and a part of right
field. On account of the Republican
rally scheduled to take place on the COM
mon at o'clock G. W. Durham and w.
H. Vinton conferred with Manager Riley
about postponing the game to O'Clock,
agreeing to announce the game from the
platform on the common. Mr.. Riley and
Mr.. Durham saw Captain Brasor and
the other players and all agreed that IL
would be better to have the game at
o'clock as a large crowd would be at
tracted While the matter was under
consideration Louis Allen, one OF the
players, telephoned from Townshend that
large number of people were coming
from the West River valley, and asking II
the game could be deferred to 4 o'clock
so that these people could attend both
the rally and the game. Manager Riley
then telephoned to the Bondville team
and they agreed to the postponment.
Manager Riley says there is no bearing
down or undue influence attempted by
any person and that the arrangement
was satisfactory to all concerned. AS
soon as Mr., Gale learned of the post
ponment he went to Manager Riley and
notified him as above stated and agreed
to hire a drum corps to accompany the
players to the grounds II Mr.. Riley would
change the hour back to 2.30. This Mr.
Riley refused to do, and then Mr.. Riley
gave Mr.. Durham power of attorney to
act as manager tomorrow, Mr.. Durham
giving Mr.. Riley a written guarantee to
sustain all costs and damages which
might accrue from trespass suits. There
will be no trouble, however, as Mr. Gale
| announced last evening that the game
| tomorrow and those scheduled for Labor
| day could be played without any inter-
| ference from him.

raising an objection were personal. not

AS one weak link weakens a chain. so
weak kidneys weaken the whole body and
hasten the final breaking down.
OVerwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys. and when their
activity is lessenned the whole body suf-
fers from the excess of uric poison circu-
lated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and uri-
nary Ills come, and there is an ever-in-

Kidney Pills are fine remedy, not only
from my own experience but also from
that OF my wife. She had been troubled
Tor four months with pain through her
loins and across the kidneys. She also
had headaches and when she took cold 1t
made her back ache worse. A friend ad-
vised the use Of Doan's Kidney Pills, and
I procured a box at F. H. Holden's drug
store. They were just the remedy she
needed and she was soon relieved in
every way and her back was stronger and
her general health improved. She still
uses Doan's Kidney Pills whenever oc-
casion demands It. I know they are
remedy to be relied upon"

Compound Rests Upon the Fact that II
Really Does Make Sick Women Well.

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored TO

Bile Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs Pinkham's Office, and prove this
statement to be fact and not a mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
WHY has Lydia f. Pinl1hams Vege-
table Compound accomplished such
widespread results for good?
WHY has it lived and thrived and
done It's glorious work for quarter OF
a century?
Simply and surely because Of its ster-
ling worth The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world SO
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power OF LYDIA H.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases Of womankind is not be-
canse it is a stimulant-no because it is
a palliative, but simply because it IS
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the female system, positively
cirRTNG disease and displacements and
restoring health and vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue in
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due, If physicians
dared to be frank and open, hundreds
of them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound in severe
cases of female ills, as they know by
experience that it win effect cure.
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular periods, backache'
bloating Tor flatulence), weakness dis
placements, inflammation, liberation,
that "bearing-down" feeling, dizzi-
ness. faintness, Indigestion, nervous
prostration or the blues, should take
immediate action to ward off the seri-
Gus consequences. and be restored to
health and strength by taking Lydia f.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Any
wav write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn,
