In hard fought ten-inning game
of base ball at the fair grounds here
last Sunday, Cresco won from De-

sure enough entitled to the game, as
the umpire handed bunch of deci-
sions against them that would make
the mule Maud do some taller kicking
than she ever done. Still on the
other hand, as we understand it. it
perhaps was only an eye for eye and a
tooth for tooth, as at Cresco ON last

bunch of bum decisions, and lost the
game by a score of to 8.

HAS NEW FLYING MACHINE.
Professor of Johns Hopkins Universe
ty Preparing to Build Air Ship.

Baltimore, Md.-The preparatory ex.
periments for the flying machine that
is being built by Prof. Robert w.
Wood, professor of experimental
physics in the Johns Hopkins uni
versity, with Otto Luytch, a local en-
gineer, are practically completed and
he work of construction will begin
soon. Prof. Wood has been carrying
on these experiments in the Hopkins
laboratory for several months.
The purpose of the experiments has
been to test the lifting power and the
s~teadiness of action of screw propel-
lers as the means of ascension and
propulsion. On the basis of the re-
suits obtained by Prof. Wood a large
flying machine will be constructed at
Sparrows Point under the direction o.
the two inventors.
The projected machine is of the
'Helicopter" type, which depends on
a series of screw p%ropellers 7ariously
arranged for the power of rising in
the air and for propulsion. The
models which have thus occupied the
attention of Prof. Wood do not re.
semble the popular idea of the flying
machine at all, and appear to be moth.
ing but a set of electric fans, with a
few weights hooked to them.

If DISCOURAGED
TRY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The Pills Have Cured the Disease In
Almost Every Form and Even In
Advanced STAGES.


Rheumatism is a painful in1amma.
ton of the muscles or of the coverings
of the joints and is sometimes accom-
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part of the body, but after
settling in one joint or muscle for a
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency of the
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for a time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose as their action is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism.
Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South Golf
St., Auburn, Me-, says: II had been
sick for fifteen years from impure blood,
brought on by overwork. My heart was
weak and my hands colorless. 1 was
troubled with Indigestion and vomiting
spells, which came on every few months.
| had no appetite and used to have awful
fainting spells, falling down when at
my work. 1 frequently felt numb all
over. My head ached continuously for
uNb ears
"About two years ago I began to feel
rheumatism in my joints, which became
so lame / could hardly walk. My joints
were swollen and panied me terribly.
"Dr. Williams Pink Pills were rec.
commended to me by a friend, after / had
failed to get well from the doctors
treatment. When / began taking the
pills, the rheumatism was atits worst.
/ had taken only a few boxes, when the
headaches stopped and not long after.
ward 1 felt the pain in my joints be.
coming less and less, until there was
zone at all. The stiffness was gone and
l have never had any return Of the rheu'
matism."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
such diseases as nervous and general
debility, indigestion, nervous headache,
neuralgia and wen partial paralysis and
locomotor ataxia. AS a tonic for the
blood and nerves they are unequalled.
