MORE Billiards
Trains and Nail again in Trouble

The past week has been another
period of snow and billiards..
Friday the showing commenced at
5 pm and lasted for full thirtvsiN
hours, giving US nearly or quite
another foot of snow. The oldest
inhabitant' says we have not had
anything to equal it for over ten
years. A fortunate feature of it
was that the temperature was mod
crate, the lowest being 6 below II
making the snow wet, or moist.
On the river the snow is from
one to two foot deep everywhere,
a very unusual occurrence, and
certainly means high water when
it breaks up in the spring.
The mail carrier had to remain
here Sat. aud Sunday, and also
Tuesday was not able to 90 IN
either direction on account of q
hard wind that blew Monday night.
Reports from Gettysburg arc TO

south trains we're stalled there
Monday, and the locomotive of a
third train operating the SNOW
pillow had run off the track, and
orders were sent in for the rotary
pillow to come to their assistance.
A force of a dozen men opened
up the road thru Beaver gulch
Monday and sleighing was getting
in good shape till Tuesday evening
when the wind came up and blew
a gale all night, completely filling
up the road again. Wednesday

CUT THIS OUT. i.
Deafness and Head Noises.

If you know someone who is trou-
bled with catarrhal deafness or head
noises, cut out this formula and hand
1t to them and you will have been the
means of saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness. Elk
periments conducted in England some
time ago seem to prove conclusively
ETC., were directly caused by consti-
tutional trouble. 1t was further
brought out that salves, sprays, in
halers, ETC.. merely temporize with the
complaint, and seldom. II ever. ef-
feet q permanent cure. This be-
spent in perfecting a pure, gentle, yet
effective tonic that would quickly dis
pel all traces Of the catarrhal poison
from the system. The prescription
which was eventually formulated and
which has aroused the belief that ca
tarrhal deafness and head noises will
soon be extinct is given below In un-
derstandable form so that anyone can
treat themselves in their own home at
little expense.

ANOTHER MIDDLE
Western League Magnates
Want Benson to Post $4,000.
But Will Not Require Guaran.
tee From Old Directors.

The Topeka baseball situation is
again in a muddle. Following the
transfer of the team and franchise by
the bank to George p. Benson, Pres
ident O'Neill Of the Western League
announced in Chicago Wednesday aft
ernoon that Mr.. Benson would be re-
quired to put up 5000 guarantee
that he would keep the team here and
would play out the schedule.
However, a telegram received by
Arch M. Catlin from s. J. Bear. who
. still in Chicago. intimated that II
the old directors would again take
over the club, this guarantee would
not be required. But the old directors
gay they will not consider taking II
over again.
Mr.. Catlin stated this morning that
he doubted the ability of President
O'Neill to make his demand for q
$4,000 guarantee stick, notwithstand-
ing the fact that conditions are a little
!, unusual. Also, Mr.. Catlin said that
:, similar thing had been attempted
: before in previous years. but that II
had never been made reality.
Mr.. Benson says that he sees no
reason why the league magnates
should discriminate against him when
other club owners are not subjected
to the same requirements. and 1t was
understood from Mr.. Benson's friends
this morning that he would not put up
the guarantee.

Just a few applications will prove a

though, is troublesome An easier
way is to get the ready-to-use tonic,
costing about so cents a large bottle

avoiding q lot Of muss.
While wispy, gray. faded hair il not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur. no one can
tell, because it does SO naturally, SO
evenly. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time: by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared, and, after an
other application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully dark. glossy. soft
and luxuriant.-.Adv.
