at just the right time to enable the
home team to break the tie score.
which had existed after the second
inning. and also prevented the game
from probably going more than the
regulation number Of innings.
Quincy forced Kennedy's team to
go to almost the limit before the break
was made that wound up the ARRAY.
Very few opportunities to score were
disregarded by either side. Quincy
got one chance and two scores re-
suited from it. The way home was
opened for the locals three times, and
twice they passed in over the plate,
each time netting them two runs
1t was only by spurts and das'hes
that either team was able to hit the
others pitcher, altho Farrell, who was
up for the visitors. was thurraped the
harder Of the two. The locals went
after him in three different innings,
making eight of the nine hits they got
in those. three, and scoring in two OF
them. Three of the five singles Quincy
took off Haviland came in cluster
in the second, but had the fielding been
without errors pFobably not more than
one score would have resulted. Except
for that single inning Haviland pitched
very effective game, and after the
second had been passed he had Quincy
under control all of the time. Except
for that inning his support was all that
any pitcher could desire.
BY getting two scores in the second
inning Quincy acquired what appeared
to be a great advantage, ! which, how
ever, proved to be useless, as the locals
evened the score in their half of the
same inning.
Rudd opened the second inning for
Quincy by hitting single. Hofe. hit

chance. Walsh drove out a single and
the bases were full with but one gone.

dependence. Mr.. Tuttle's case is eX-
tremely sad, and his condition is due
to III health. While he has been fall
ing for some time it was not until
week ago that he began to show de-
cided symptoms OF dyscrasia, and dur
ing the past few days his condition has
been SO alarming that it was impossi-
Bile for his family to properly care fe'r
him. There was nothing else to do but
seek hospital treatment. and this was
asked for this morning by the wife and
son, Mr.. Otto Tuttle.
Mr.. futile has been failing for about
three years, altho he is not quite "a
Years OF age. There was nothing
alarming in the state of his health,
however, until about year ago. Wheh
his wife and son began to notice that
he was not himself. A week ago Mr.,
Tuttle returned from Des Moines,
where he had been in attendance at the
state fair. A radical change was inn
mediately apparent. He seemed great
ly excited and was very taikative.
Tuesday he imagined himself particle
pating in gigantic business ventures
and claimed to his son that he had
purchased the Fair store. lie also Went
over the city buying hats, and ordered
a large number. Tuesday afternoon ne
began moving his own stock Of goods
about in order to malce room Tor the
Fair stock, and on Tuesday evening
thought that he was going on the road
for large firm, and spent some time
packing his grips, preparatory to leav-

iMr. Painter, spent the night with him,
and the patient was incessart in his
4ramblmgs, getting no rest whatever.
This morning the application to the
commissioners followed as q final re-
sort.
Mr.. Painters trouble has been de-
5clared by three physicians to be soft
ening of the brain. His many friends,
and those of his family, will hope that
after proper treatment at the state
hospital he will be restored to his for

Every Third Person Poisoned by Coffee.
1t is difficult to make people believe

least one person out of every three, but
people are slowly finding it out, altho
thousands of them suffer terribly be-
fore they discover the fact.
A New York hotel man says: Each
time after drinking. coffee 1 became
restless, nervous and excited, so that
l was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffered from loss of sleep, which got
worse and worse.

the cause of my trouble, and suggested
that I try Postum Food Coffee. I

Postum tasted as good or better than
the old coffee, SO what was the use

Zone day on an excursion up the

of pounds and her former palpitation of

sagreeable feelings had disappeared.
She recommended me to quit coffee and
take Postum and was very much sur

the change. @
