The ball game Sunday afternoon between the Mexican and Harry Wright teams resulted in a victory for the Mexican team by score of 6-4. It was a most interesting game and at the end of the ninth inning each team had a total of four runs. This condition remained unchanged until the first half of the twelft h inning, when the Mexicans made two runs. With a little more practice the Harry Wrights will have a nrettY fast team.

Catarrh is a disease of the mucous
membrane. The mucous membrane
is. one may say the interior lining
OF the body. Catarrh therefore may
exist in any part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, Inflammation
and congestion are produced and ma
ture fails to throw off the accumulated
poisons. The organ which has been
afflicted ceases to perform its proper
function as nature intended 1t should.
The result is, complication upon COM

Tone will do wonders toward over

prescription of an eminent physician

and his great success with this remedy

RAILROAD CASUALTIES.

Figures recently given publicity in
Chicago state that for the year the
railroads OF the United States paid APP
proximateiy $5e,7o0.0oO for Toss and
damage" and injuries to persons. I"
Ten years before. the same charge
amounted to a bit over $4,000, 900.
Last year the charge was nearly s1O,-
100000 more than the same charge for
the previous year. The payments on
account Of injuries to persons in-
creased 254 per cent in ten years--and
on account of loss and damage As7 per
cent.
This certainly seems like an excess
sive charge-$56, 700, 900 in a single
year on account OF loss and damage"
and injuries to persons" Not that
it is excessive In the sense that any
one was getting more out of the rail-
roads than he should. II persons are
injured they ought to be paid, and paid
well. And when there are losses and
damage they must be met. But there
is indication In these impressive figures
that there is still room for improve
ment in the operation Of some rail-
roads.
