the rest hound and the balance just dog,

SOMNAMBUL|STS
TRIM DREAMERS
O. w. Rowland as Mascot Lead
the Court House TO Victory.
Headgear a Feature.

The long delayed game between the
"Som mnambulists" of the court house and
the DAY Dreamers" of Main street was
pulled off at Athletic park last Wednes-
day afternoon, 1t may not have been
quite as scientific game as played by
the Worlds Champs and Tigers, but
there was more fun. The court house
bunch won out by score of IL to 10.
This was the first game this year, but
these teams have played in all four
games, three OF which the "Sleep Walk
ers" have corralled. Some of the feat
ures OF the game we're the suits worn by
the court house boys, Hungerford's lively
sprinting, Mutchler's lofty drives, Chase's
wonderful one handed catch, when he
fell all over himself but held the horse
hide in his good right hand, and Dibbe's
daring base running.
NOTES OF THE GAME.
o. w. Rowland as mascot was a win
ner.
Dibble has had an offer to play with
the Detroit Tigers.
Billie Killefer as umpire with his
"Strike Tub" was there with the goods.
The public prosecutor Chased the ball
TO the rivers brim.
They couldn't catch John mapping,
not Mutch-ler.
VolneY spread himself all over the
first bag
! The cork screw curves Of Ford and
Rue were too crooked for the opposition
batters.
1t was "barberous" game, Dibble,
! Salisbury and Cody.
Roll and Will each scored a hit-in
the ribs, one by ball the other by an
elbow.
Three Balls were used in the game,
two by the pitchers and one to do the
scoring.
The way some of the fielders failed to
stop the ball was fine display Of how
not to do it,
Frank hit the sphere Fuller on the
nose than any other of the players.

STRANGER WANTED
IDENTIFICATION
Got Mrs. Harriet to Endorse Check
for $156, but Bank was Noti-
fed not to Cash it.

Last week a smooth stranger, giving
the name Of Frank l.. Adams OF Toledo,
appeared at Mrs. Haruett's boarding
house and wanted to engage board and
room. He stated that he was surveyor
and would be in the city for some
time. He stated that inasmuch as he
was a stanger be would pay in advance
in short time stating that be could not
get check cashed without identified
ton, and asked Mrs. Harriet to endorse
a check which he had of Sl56-merely
for Identification, so he said Mrs. Har-
ristt wanted to be obliging to the strang-
er and complied with his request, when
he started to the bank to have the check
cashed. When he had left the house
Mrs. Harriett's daughter Ruth, surmis-
ing that there might be something
wrong with the deal, stepped to the
phone and advised the bank not to cash
the same. Payment was withheld ac-
cordingly. He tried to get the cashier
to advance the money on the check but
the bank official was suspicious of the
stranger and refused He informed him,
however, that he would forward the
check to the bank in Toledo on which
it was issued and turn over the cash to
him as soon as received. The smooth
one agreed to this and promised to call
later for the coin. The check was re-
turned as worthless, but the "surveyor"
never came back.

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat their meals, although actually hungry near. ly all the timei
 Nature never intended this should be so. for We are given a thing called appetite that should guide us as te what the system needs at any time and can digest.
 But We get in hurry, swallow our food very much as we shovel coal into the furnace, and our sense of appetite becomes unnatural and perverted. Then we eat the wrong kind of food or eat too much, and there you are indigestion and it's accompanying miseries.
 A Phila. lady said, the other day:
 My husband and I have been sick and nervous for 15 or 20 years from drinking coffee-feverish, indigestion. totally unfit, good part of the time. for work or pleasure. We actually dreaded to eat our meals.
 We tried doctors and patent medi- eines that counted up into hundreds of dollars, with little if any benefit.
 "Accidentlly, a small package of Postum came into my hands. l made some according to directions. with sur prising results. We both liked it and have not used any coffee since.
 ''The dull feeling after meals has left us and we feel better every way We are so well satisfied with Postum that we recommend it to our friends who have been made sick and nervous and miserable by coffee" Name giver by Postum Co.

Whole Acre Lifted out Of Place.

 There is no one here who can ae count for the peculiar phenomenon but il is the belief of many that it was caused by gas. At the end of the raised land there is a clear break. and the land Is several inches higher than the land immediately adjoining it. To ward the center Of the acre the land is about two feet higher than neal the edge Hundreds of persons living in The vicinity have visited the scene in the last few days. but no one is able to give an explanation for the peculiar condition. Many fear that the lifting of this acre means that an extinct volcano has broken loose and fear that other sections of land iii the vicinity will be lifted out of place.
