a Queer Play In Baseball.

Here is q play in baseball that hap
pened long ago. Perhaps it never will
happen again. Did any one ever hear
of a base runner scoring from first
base on line drive that was caught
by third baseman and when the ball
never left the third baseman's hand?
The play happened in this way: Andy
Moynihan was playing third base for
the Pastimes of Chicago in 1868 when
a tournament was held. The Occiden-
tails of Peoria We're the opposing team.
In the first inning, with runner on
first, the batter drove liner straight
over third. Moynihan showed up his
hand, the ball struck it and stuck
fast in the hand. The crowd cheered.
An instant later they saw something
was wrong. Moynihan, writing with
pain, was running around third base.
The base runner at first saw something
was the matter and ran down to Sec
ond. Then he ran to third and finally
trotted home unmolested.
The trouble was that the ball, strik-
ing Moynihan's hand, paralyzed the
nerves. The ball was stuck tight in
his hand. 1t was five minutes before
his fellow players could pry his fin
gers open and get the ball out.-Chica-

Her Limit.

The old generation of Galloway
lairds were primitive and hospita-
BILE race, but their conviviality some
times led to awkward occurrences. In
former days, when roads were bad and
wheeled vehicles almost unknown, an
old laird was returning from a supper
party with his lady mounted behind
him on horseback. On crossing the
river Urr at ford at point where it
joins the sea the old lady dropped off,
but was not missed until her husband
reached his door, when, of course,
there was an immediate search made.
The party who were dispatched in
quest of her arrived just in time to find
her demonstrating with the advancing
tide, which trickled into her mouth, in
these words: mo anither drap, neither
bet nor cauld."-London Tit~Bits.

The Old Warming Pan.

Eyes, that is fine specimen Of the
old brass warming PAM said an anna
teur collector of antiques, quoted by
the Philadelphia Record, "but it hangs
on the wall from this time on 1t will
not be brought into requisiton for ac-
tual warming purposes again. It's too
good" Then he added contemplative-
ly: "My daughter thought it would re-
new the ancient flavor of things to put
that warming pan to use. So on one
of the coolest nights of the winter she
filed the pan end with live Goals, shut
the lid and put the pan into one of the
beds. In little while the house was
filed with smoke, which, on being
traced to its origin. was found to come
from the bed, which was afre. With
a few olden time wood embers these
warming pans were all right, but with
live anthracite they simply overdo the
job. We put out the fire, but, as I say,
from this time on the warming pan
hangs on the wall empty"

Dad Murphy's Brevity.

Old Dad Murphy, as he was affec-
tionately known to the boys on the
road, was conductor on a trunk line
transporting large shipments of live
stock from the west Dad had been
in the service so long that the rules Of
railroading had become second nature
to him, and the result of the superin-
tendent's frequent orders to the train
men to answer with military brevity
all questions and messages, especially
those by telegraph, to relieve the bur-
den on the wires had reduced Dad to
habitually short, concise replies, even
to his conversation. On baking hot
July day, when not breath of air was
stirring and the sun beat on the car
roofs till the pitch pulled the soles off
the brakeman's shoes, Dad in looking
over the train discovered that eight
hogs had succumbed to the heat
When passing the next telegraph sta
ton he threw off q message to the SUI
perintendent:

At the second telegraph office he re-
ceived his answer:
Murphy, Condr. 7S.-What is the present
condition of the hogs? Ans ok.

cut and wrote as follows:

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inhameo
condition of tie mucous surfaces.

The farmer who has field of alfalfa
has no reason for complaint of the back
wardness of the season, if his crop equals
in growth, texture and yield the sample
exhibited in this Office few days ago by
J @ Babcock. The samples shown were
over thirty inches in length, thrifty and
would yield over two tons of excellent
feed per acre. The crop was ready to
harvest and Mr. Babcock said he would
raise another good crop this season.
A number of farmers have planted,
some are doing so, and many more wait
ing to get their tobacco plants into the
field. AS yet most of the plants are too
small, and in that case, the farmer who
intended to raise that crop this season,
and fearing failure has put in sugar
beets instead. Some of the latter class,

get large enough to transplant, and the

GAINESVILLE

Otto E Smith, leading GAINESVILLE drug
gist suffered shocking injuries in run
away. The reins broke and he fell out.
His foot caught between the spokes Of a
wheel and he was dragged some distance.
Lafayette Myers of the Rock County
Sugar Co says that the outlook for a
banner beet crop this year is most en-
couraging. Mr. Myers visited the farm
ers in the vicinity OF Beloit recently and
says that this year the company has 100
acres under contract where they have
had only ten or twelve in past years.
Beets appear to have thrived this year
where other crops have been ruined by
the excessive moisture.
While bathing Saturday morning at
the second sand bar in Rock river,
popular but dangerous swimming hole
three fourths of mile above the Fourth
avenue bridge, Charles Swan, a railway
brakeman about % years of age, walked
over "step-off' and sank slowly never
to come out of the water alive. He went
down IN sight of his two companions
neither being good swimmers were able
to make more than feeble effort to save
him
All of the buildings except tie house
the large barn, the granary, the milk
house, the corn-crib and the wind mill =
on the David Moore 100 acre farm mile
south of Alton were destroyed by fire
Wednesday morning, likewise the farm
machinery and hay and seven calves.
While the owner was in GAINESVILLE Sat-
urday to apply for additional fire insur-
ance on his farm house, the home was
totally destroyed with portion of its
contents. The cause of the fire looks
like that of the same incendiary who is
suspected Of firing the barns and out
buildings last Wednesday. Mr.. Clark
stated that he was at loss to know why
some persons should take this method of
revenge as he did not believe that he
had an enemy in the world. AS soon as
the flames were discovered neighbors
we're summoned to the scene and as soon
as possible much of the furniture aud
household effects were saved.
Dispatches from Paris state that Og-
den II Fethers of GAINESVILLE, Wis, was
robbed of his valuable gold watch while
visitor in Naples. According to the
dispatch Mr. Fethers was watched by a
Naples urchin who admired his watch
and fob and at an opportune moment
played the old game of using his head as
battering ram and while Mr. Fethers
was recovering his poise, snatched the
watch and ran away. Mr. and Mrs Feth-
ers are now in Switzerland. According
to the Paris correspondent, Mr. Fethers
was walking along the street one day
when he saw boy eying his gold chair
GENEROUSLY and Mr. Fethers was not il
the least surprised when the youngstel
made dart at him and grabbed the
chain and watch as we'll and made off
What did surprise Mr. Fethers was that
neither he nor any Of the crowd who i'm
mediately joined in the chase were able
to catch the thief.

it would require pot as big as

cultural experts, make plant pills
pills no bigger than chestnuts that con-

closed in a metal cover, are buried III

require. Pills are also applied to weak,
