Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Aug. 15.-Cedar
Rapids fans were given a bad scare
III the ninth inning yesterday when
by narrow margin the champs
failed to tie the score and lost to 8
With one score in and Stark waiting
on third Cook famed and Mcbride
planted, one clear down to the left
ned fence that Davis after a long run
succeeded in gathering in, and it was
all off.
The contest was a pretty one and
evenly contested. Hill tried out a
new shortstop named Sours from Wa
tertown, S. d., and he did fairly well.
In the fourth inning Jimmie Nova
eek got in front of the leather and
wdltZed to first. Both he and Cook
were safe on a fielders choice and
Mcbride boosted them by a hit to
Brown which was too high for him
to pull down. Then came Lundin
with long fly to right and that
scored Novacek.
In the Rabbits half Howard hit a
hot one past Louis Cook and imme-
diately thereafter Mullin hit anothe
which Louie obligingly muffed Simon
was out on popup, but Collins hit
to left filled the bases and then Neal
became generous and gave Sours a
pass, forcing in one run.
The Rabbits made another IT. the
sixth when Mullin began with sin,
gle to center field. Simon sacrificed

Sours got another pass and Brown
hit one too hot for Berger to handle
bringing home Mullin.

Garden and Mnllin brought him home
With a long hit to right. Red went
around to second on the throw, went
to third on Simon's single and after
Collins had waited for four wide ones
he scored on Sours' long fly to Muir
ply.
The Islanders began to chiTk up in
the eighth. Novacek squared himself
aLo poked single past third base.
Cook was out on a grounder - Brown
and Mcbride famed. But Lundin beat
out a grouIder 20 Sours and Berger's
single to right brought home Novacek.
Neal was out on grounder at the
beginning of the ninth, but on the
next Collins made wild heave which
left Murphy safe at first Stark made
UP his mind as to the location of the
hole in the infield and slammed one
down to SOurs who muffed 4. Then
Novacek put another past third base
anG Murphy scored Stark came
around to third and with only one
man out and one scored things looked
decidedly interesting, only one score
being needed by the Islanders to tie
up The game, but nothing came of it.

No Fear of Jananese War.

Since the Russian war Japan has
had a long. hard road to travel in
financial affairs, and its credit in the
loan market is practically exhausted.
While it may be that war with such
nation is to be feared there appears
to be no imemdiate necessity of
arming against Japanese aggression.
There is, however. immediate neces-
sity for a few doses of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters when the appetite
lags. the bowels are costive, the liver
inactive and sleep restless. These
are Natures warnings of impending
sickness, and which has often been
avoided by taking the Bitters prompt
ly. In cases of dyspepsia, indigestion,
constipation, biliousness, nervousness

male ills, cramps, diarrhoea and ma

NEW BRIDGE At KEITHSBURG
iowa Central at Last to Replace Con-
demned Structure,

1t is said that the Iowa Central road
is at last to build a new bridge at
Keithsburg. The old one, which was
built with money of the late Russell
Sage. has been going to rack and ruin
these many years. For a long time
it has been condemned and the COM
pany must put in a new one now or
abandon it's line For years but one
locomotive has been allowed upon it
at time and trains crossed it only
ct u snairs pace. A survey mas been
made and a site for new bridge
Gicked about 200 feet north of the old
one. 1t is proposed to put in lift
span, something new on the Missis-
sippi. in place of the swinging draw.

Some of the best men In the world
have been victims of drink and if

family that is afflicted with this dis
ease, you arc indeed fortunate.
Drink cunningly destroys the will
power. and while the drunkard wants
to do what you tell him, he wants a
thousand times more the drink that
he Graves.
Drunkenness is no longer consider
ed a crime; eminent scientists and
physicians have agreed that it is a
disease and must be treated as such.
The home treatment that has been
used for a number of years, and is
highly successful, is Orrine. 1t is
sold under positive guarantee that
if it does not effect cure your money
will be refunded.
Orrine is in two forms. When de
