BOurbOnites Bring the Kicking
HustIers Down a Notch.

The Bourbonites visited Winchester
Wednesday and took little Of the con-
ceit out of the hustlers by score of 8
to i. Scheneburg was on the mound
for the Bourbonites and the Hustlers
were like babies instead of ball play
res, in his hand. They only made one
hit during the game although the Off
cial scorer at Winchester gives them
three hits. ue counted two errors as
hits Scheneburg came near repeating
the no hit game he pitched against the
Lexington team few days ago. AT
Ter finding they could not touch Scheme
burg's curves they attempted to put
him out of the game by dirty ball play
ing. One Nickens, there new pitcher,
who was being hit at will by the Paris
sluggers, bunted a ball near Scheme
runner on back. When ne did this Nick
ems deliberately elbOwed Scheneburg
under the cart and he would have
fallen to the ground knocked out If
Barnett had not caught him. He soon
rallied, however, and kept IN the game.
Fourteen hits were made eff of Nick
ems, he was an easy proposition for
Ochs, Hannigan. Scott, Goodman, Dug
ger, Cunningham and Scheneburg.
The following is score by innings
and summary of the game:

Joe Bsker Held Without Bond.

The examining trial of Joe Baker,
alias "Red Sam," Jim Adair and
Richard Creath, all colored, charged
with the murder Uf Lena Adair, color
ed, in Ruckerville on last Sunday
morning, was held before Judge Denis
Dundon yesterday. Baker was held to
the November term of the Bourbon
Circuit Court without bond, and Adair
and Creath were acquitted. The testi-
mony in the case showed that Baker
was the man that fired the shot,
several differing as to how many srots
were fired. 1t also appeared that
Baker was firing at Geo. Harris, color
ed, who he had just had some words
with, and that the woman was hit by
the ball after it had glanced from a
picket in fence near where she was
standing. 1t also developed that the
woman killed was the lawful wife of
lin Adair, one of the defendants. but
they had not been living together for
about two years. The trial took up
almost the entire day and was attend
ed by large crowd of the colored popu-
lation. Attorneys c. Arnsparger.
David Cline and Wm. Ardery repre-
sented the defendants.

TUESDAYS GAME.

The game Tuesday between the
Bourbonites and Lawmakers was in
tensely exciting, and resulted in
score of 7 to 6 in favor of the home
team. Dugger pitched a great game,
allowing the visitors only five hits and
out nine men. The game was
filled with squabbing and err )rs. The
home team made seven bungling errors,
which came near giving the game to
Frankfort. Umpire WEIGHS call of
balls on Dugger was something horri-
BILE and was enough to dishearten any
pitcher, but Digger fought it cut
gamely. Ailoway for the visitors was
knocked out of the box in seventh, and
Cornell was put in and Jared no bet
ter as the home boys had their batting
eye along, which somewhat excused
their numerous errors. The following
is the score by innings and summary :
Paris .....0 0 0 2 0 0 0 4 x-7
Frankfort .....0 0 2 0 0 0 3 0-6

NOTES.

After one Of the games between Paris
and Winchester last week in the latter
city we had occasion to criticise the
treatment of strangers when they
visited heWinchester grounds and bas-
ing our criticism upon facts, we said
that the "Hustlers had behind them on
their home grounds the most contempt
ibIe lot of rooters in the Blue Grass
League.
AS the truth always hurts, the Win
chester News of recent date handed US
a pretty hot rejoinder The article
was closed with the following para
graph: "Please Mr.. Editor of the
Bourbon News, when your Crouch next
commences to work remember the old
saying, ''he who lives in glass house
stould not throw stones, recall U IL
pire Wilson and the unwarranted as
sault on him and DON'T"
On Wednesday the truth of our for
mer criticism was verified to by all
who witnessed the game.
Our pitcher, who they could not
touch was punched over the heart by
pitcher Nickens, with the intention OF
putting him out of the game. Then

A Wet Month.

Everybody is aware that June was a
very damp month, but weather fore
caster Bassler's figures and dates, OBJ
tained, of course. at his Office in Gin
cinnat, prove that June 1909, was the
wettest month in forty years. Inas-
mucn as we are in the same weather
area that Cincinnati is in, Bassler's
figures and other data may virtually
be taken as a weather basis for his ter
riory. The total precipitation was five
and six hundredths inches The highest
precipitation from any day amounted
to LIZ inch, June 10. The average for
the month in 80 years is 3 932 inches.

Sale Of Beer UnmoIested.

The State of Georgia has a State
wide Prohibition law, but when prohi-
bition went into effect it was decided
that Intoxicating liquor to be intoxicat-
ing must contain more that per cent
alcohol. AS none of the American
beers contains more than a per cent,
the sale OF them has been practically
unmolested. The State put a tax of
5000 year upon "Hear beer" saloons
in the State. About $3.50, 900 was col
Iected by this tax.

Many sleepless Nights, Owing to 4
Persisten Cough, Relief Found
at Last.

9 For several winters past my wife
has been troubled with a most persist
ent and disagreeable cough, which in
variably extended over a period of
several weeks and caused her many
sIeepless nights" writes Will j..
Hayner, editor of the Burnley, Colo,
Bulletin. Various remedies were
tried eacr year, with no beneficial re-
suits. In November last the cough
again put in an appearance and my
wife, acting on the suggestion of a
friend, purchased bottle of Chamber
lain'sCough Remedy. The results, was,
indeed, marvellous. After three doses
the cough entirely disappeared and
has not maniftsed itself since" This
remedy is for sale by Hays 6 Field

GERMS IN HER system.
Every Woman should Read This.

| Every woman should Read This.
The number of diseases peculiar to
woman is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain a mere
mention of these diseases are of a ca
tribal nature. A woman cannot be
well II there is trace of the catarrhal
germs In her system.
Some women think there is no help
for them. We positively declare this
to be mistaken idea. We are so sure
of this that we offer to supply medi.
cine absolutely fee of all cost in every
instance where it fails to give entire
satisfaction or does not substantiate
our claims. With this understanding,
no woman should hesitate to believe
our honesty of purpore, or hesitate to
put our claims to test.
There Is only one way to cure ca
tarrh. That way is through the blood.
You may use all the snuffs. douches or
like remedies for years without get
tingmore than temporary relief at
best. Catarrh is caused by a germ.
This germ is carried by the blood to
the innermost part OF the system until
the mucous membrane is broken, ir-
results, and youshrdluetasohd
ritation and inflammation produced,
and flow of mucous results, and you
can probably realize how silly it is to
cure such an ailment unless you take
medicine that follows the same
course as the germ or parasite.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of an
eminent physician who for thirty years
made his specially catarrh, and with
this medicine he averaged 80 per cent
of cures where it was employed. No
other remedy is so properly designed
for the ailments of woman. 1t will
purify and enerich the blood, stop
mucous discharge, destroy all egrm
matter, remove all impurities from the
system, soothe, heal and strengthen
the mucous tissues, and bring about
good feeling of health and strength.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our guarantee. II you are not
benefited or for any reason not salts
fed, simply tell us and we will hand
back you money. Rexall Mucu-Tone
