The Emerald Park aggregation of ball towers journeyed to Johuahnrgh last Sunday afternoon, where they took the native sons into camp by the score of 13 to 9. The Johnsbnrgh boys started the game with a rush and before the visit­ ors had settled down to real business the home boys were in the lead by about half a dozen tallies. The Emer­ ald Park players began to tighten up about the fifth inning and after that session everything was in their favor. They tied the score in the ninth inning and in the extra stanza that followed they put the game on ice by adding four tallies to their side of the score card. The game should have gone but the cus­ tomary nine rounds, foolish base run­ ning on the part of the visitors in the ninth inning when Johnsburgh executed a double play being responsible for the extra inning. Yonng "Babe" Adams was in the box for the Germans and looked good for the first few innings, after which the Emeralds began to solve his delivery with apparent ease. Conway, Peterson and Gibbs composed the Emerald Park battery.

Kidney trouble preys upon the tnigj, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerful­ ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis­ eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncom­ mon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates toooften, if the urine scalds, the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an* age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet­ ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi­ culty! is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser­ able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy.

He re­ mained conscious for a few minutes but died before assistance arrived. The boy escaped with slight injuries. Mon­ ahan was one of the best known resi­ dents of the vicinity of Wauconda.

My back gave out and pained me. I seemed to have lost all strength and ambition; was bothered with dizzy spells, my head would swim and specks float before my eyes.
