Lancaster Loses.

The Lancaster ball team went to
Muscoda Friday and played the
home team there two games-one
Saturday and one Sunday. The
contests were of the best ever seen
in Southwestern Wisconsin, and
although the Lancaster contingent
played great ball In each game,
they were defeated in both.
In the Saturday game Marley
pitched and held up his record; the
support given him was good, too,
but at the time hits were needed the
Muscoda twirler was invincible.
Score too.
One of the finest exhibitions of
the national game ever pulled off in
the state was witnessed by a large
crowd Sunday. Henkel was in the
box for Lancaster and pitched an
errorless game, adding new laurels
to his good record. Lancaster was
in the lead until the 9thinning with
a score of / to O, when PennOck
made wild throw to the home
plate to check a score, and that told
the story. Muscoda secured two
tallies before the visitors regained
their equilibrium.

Yon Can't Die.

A professor has invented an ap-
paratus for restoring life 20 the
body when a person has been
smothered by asphyxiaticn or
drowning. He does not claim that
he''can restore life to one who is
thoroughly dead. AS to the period
when life actually leaves the body,
is problem that scientists have not
yet clearly settled. Evidently in
some instances life does linger when
all perceptible breathing has
stopped, as there are many cases
where people have been buried
alive.
The machine operates on the same
principle as the heart, having a
double valve. One side removes
from the body the poisonous gases
or water and the other supplies
life giving oxygen. This the pro-
lessor calls double larynx tube.
He has performed number Of ex-
periments that have been highly in
teIest1ng. In one instance he placed
a dog in box highly charged with
acetylene gas and kept it there for
forty minutes. When the animal
was taken out it was pronounced
dead beyond resuscitation. The
professor then put his respirator to
work removing the gas. from the
dogs lungs and pumping oxygen in,
and in five minutes the animal
began to breathe naturally and
soon revived.
The professor Had some successful
experiment with animals that have
been drowned, but one of the most
interesting was in rev1ving a
drunken man. He declares that he
can take man who is in a drunken
stupor and in Ave minutes have him
thoroughly sobered. If he is in
terested in the commercial value of
his machine, this is probably the
most important use that he can
make of it. There are many men
who, when they discover themselves
drunk late ia the evening when the
time for home-going comes, would
be willing to pay handsome fee if
they could be sobered up and re-
stored to their normal state IN a
few minutes time. The fact that
drunkenness can be relieved by
pumping oxygen into the lungs in
excessive quantities shows a very
close connection between the lungs
and the stomach. The effect, how
ever, is doubtless on the blood.
The poison that gets into it from
the pores of the stomach is taken
out or neutralized through the
action of the lungs. This invention
is another evidenceofthe mechanical
ingenuity of the times.

Don't Grumble.

Frequently you pick up one Of
the local papers and after glancing
at the head lines, YEARLY thrust it
aside. remarking, nothing in the
paper today" Did you ever stop to
think what that phrase means? 1t
means that since the last issue no
misfortune has befallen anyone In
the city; that no fire has wiped out
a neighbours worldly posse sionss
that the grim angel of dee has
not crossed the threshold o. nd;
that no man driven by liz, ha-
rted or fear has taken the llLe Of
fellow human; that no poor devil.
haunted by the past or the mis-
deeds of some other, has crossed the
divide by his own hand. So the
next time you pick up pape. Eat
doesn't announce tragedy, { g .
little think instead of grumblile oe-
cause there is no news.

change of Headquarters.

Ringing Bros, the well known
show men have purchased an eighty
acre track Of land near Collinsville,
Indian Territory, which will become
their winter headquarters instead OF
Baraboo, Wis, where they have
been established since engaging in
the circus business. The reason for
making the change is that they can
procure feed for their animals much
cheaper and that the new location
will afford them an opportunity to
remain on the road from three to
four weeks later in the fall and to
get out that length of time earlier
in the spring.
