" That is just exactly what transpired at the loug looked-for game as pulled off be tween the Johusburgh Hrays and the McHenry BThes last Sunday afternoon on the Johusburgh pasture And again has it been clearly demon­ strated to the minds and naked eyes of uiany that all dreams do not come true. At least, if those of the Johnsburgh I boys and their close followers had come ' true, the score of 2? to 1 would todny be reversed aud instead of the McHenry Blues the Grays would lie enjoying the honey (iinl cream. Jt will be remembered that the Grays have been putting it all over all comers. I'p until last Sunday's joit their record showed thirteen consecutive victories, while the McHenry Blues had nothiug jto poiut to with the exception of the games played at the beginning of the se&Mou, wheu they saw the shadows of a successful season fade away thru non- support and the team disbanded. Now, that the seasou should close With the season's baseball honors going to Johusburgh was more than the dis­ banded Blues could masticate--thus this game. The Johusburgh boys'record had been penetrated into the minds of the Blues with such great force during last week that the members of the organization did go to the northern hamlet last Sun day with the expectation of meeting a real snappy baseball team but such a disappointment! No sooner had the umpire called the game wheu the after­ noon's bombardment commenced. To tell the story of the game in detail would take up a great deal moi^e time aud space than we wish to burden our readers with, but we will attempt to give an abbreviated account of the do­ ings by innings. First inning--McHenry scores three runs on three singles, a double and a base on balls. Johnsburgh is blanked. Second inning Miller shows signs of pitching real ball and retires the Blues without a run. Bending struck out the three batsmen that faced him in this inning. " Third inning--A single, two two- baggers, a triple, base on balls and an error gave the Blues four runs, while Johusburgh was easily retired without a fun. Fourth inning--Miller again displays reversal in form and does not allow a blue attired batsman to reach first base. Johnsburgh could not score. Fifth inning Five singles, a double, base on balls and an error fattened the Blues' side of the score sheet by seven points, Johnsburgh got a man to first in this inning, but no sooner had he reiched the bag when he was caught napping, the quick delivery from Howard to Heimer catching the rnuner by two feet. Sixth inning Three singles, a two bagger, three triples and the usual error netted the McHeuryites a total of seven runs. And here is where Johnsburgh registered its one aud lonely run. Joe Miller led off with a grounder to Reents which Charley fielded faultlessly, but the throw to first was wild aud the runner went to second aud came home on Wm: Smith '* single. After this the side was hurriedly retired. Seveuth inning -Two singles, a double a pass aud an error added two more runs to the already long list, while Johnsburgh received its now customary cipher. Eighth inning--In this rouud the Blues "laid down' and went out in one, two, three manner. Johnsburgh got its 0. Ninth inning -With tne score stand­ ing 23 to 1, the Blues did not care to take their turn at the bat in this round, but a foolish "noise" on the part of a fan made it necessary to do so. This particular fan could not see where Mc­ Henry laid down to their opponents in the eighth rouud aud so decided was he uj his judgment, that, be was willing to bet a few of his hard-earned dollars that McHenry could not score in the final inning Just to prove to the gent that his grey matter was deceiving him the Blues walloped Miller's peaches and creams for another four tallies. Whether or not the gent was satisfied we do not know, but we are aware of the fact that he left the grounds bearing a forlorn ex­ pression upon bis countenance that would spell the very word s-t u n.g Johusburgh was again retired in double- quick time and all was over. . )< »HNSHl UGH GKAVH • I t The fifth and sixth innings were min iatore reproductions of the battle of bombardment was Bunker HiU. tie quite realistic. Now, if Miller could have kept Mc­ Henry's bats from connecting with the ball, his team-mates would have knocked the stitches out of the pig-skin. Maybe the Johnsburgh boys would have won-- merely a Johnsburgh fan's dream. Lewey just couldn't keep from smil­ ing. The escaping feathers from the little birdiep must have tickled him so. Heimer led off in the day's batting honors, getting five safe flouts out of seven times at bat. His work around the initial sack was also on the old time order. Only three of the Bines went out via the breezy route. The Blues carried eleven men and all were given an opportunity to share in the fnn. McHenry's outfield was given but one chance during the contest and that came in the fourth inning. John MiHer lifted a long fly towards center field which "Mngsy McGraw Hans Wagner Kranse" failed to pinch. However, the slip was only a teaser, as Miller was caught at second wheu he tried to make the error good for two sacks.. The Blues surely demonstrated to the crowd that they were far from being the "Has-Beens" as sized up by some before the gleeful contest, Had Miller won oat., for instance, shutting out the Blues without a hit or run aud fanned twenty-se\eu batsmen, then his $1,500 job with the Chicago White Sox would have materialized in to something more than a mere dream. It was just awful, Mabel! A Paying Investment. Mr. John White, of 88 Highland Ave., Houlton, Maine, sa.vs: "Have been troubled with a cough every winter and spring. Last winter I tried many ad vertised remedies, but the cough contin­ ued until I bought a 50c. bottle of Dr King's New Discovery; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same happy results has followed; a few doses once more banish­ ed the annual cough. I am now con yinced that Dr. King's New Discovery is the best of all cough and lung reme dies."

Forty eight years ago, Sept. 8, occur­ red the wreck of the "Lady Elgin" on Lake Michigan, and at that time three hundred persons were carried to the bottom of the lake. The snrvivors in Milwaukee have annnally held a reunion at Marble hall but it is probable that the last of these have been held, and the Survivors' association is now a thing of the past. The ravages of time have had their effect and now scarce a dozen remain to tell the story at first hand. And almost all of these are so enfeebled by age and infirmities that they will be unable to attend a reunion this year. Place Vour Order Now.

Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is not rec­ ommended for everything but if you have kidney, liver or bladder trouble it will be found just the remedy you need. It lias been tested in so many ways, in hospital work and in private practice, and has proved so successful in every case that a special arrangement has been made by which all readers of this paper, who have not already tried it, may have a sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book tell­ ing more about Swamp-Root, and bow to find out if you have kidney or bladder trou­ ble.

I tems Clipped from Tlie Plaindealer of September 12, 1883. H. E. Wightman is building an addi tion to his residence. Mrs Murphy, with the aid of her two sons, Thomas and Robert, is building a neat little residence on her lot, opposite the Catholic church. McHenry's infant base ball nine went over to Woodstock on Saturday last ami played a like club there, being defeated by a score of 70 to 41. The Wauconda aud McHenry second nines played a game of ball iu the fore noon on Thursday last, which resulted in favor of McHenry by a score of 24 to 19. There was a hard frost on Sunday and Monday mornings, and coru cutting is the order of the day. Every mau you meet on the street has a corn cutter in his hand and asking for help. When a man discontinues his local paper because he feels aggrieved at something in it, he merely trausfers his name from the subscription list to the other list quite as large--those whj borrow the paper every day. He never stops reading it. The parties for Dakota, of which we spoke laBt week, viz: N. S. Colby, Henry Colby, Isaac Harsh and H. C. Mead of this town, and Gideon Colby of Clifton, did not get off as expected last week on account of being unable to pro cuiecars. They started, however, yes terday (Tuesday). Their train cousisted of ten cars containing two thousand sheep, and was takeu from this station by a special engine. They expect to be absent about a month. how to Get Strong. P. J. Daly, of 124tt W. Congress St., Chicago, tells of a way to become strong. He says: "My mother, who is old and was very feeble, is deriving so much benefit from Electric Bitters, that I feel it's my duty to tell those who need a touic and strengthening medicine about it. Iu my mother's case a marked gain in flesh has resulted, insomnia has been overcome, and she is steadily grow­ ing stronger." Electric Bitters quickly remedy stomach, liver aud kidney com­ plaints.
