Locals at Bii Mercy Darin* Eptlr* Con­ tent, Allowlnsf"Bat On» Hit. The gilt-edged pitching coupled with the most perfect support from his pals, gave Douglas and the Lake Geneva Reds a victory over the Blues at the West Side ball yard last Sunday after­ noon. The day was a hot one for baseball and taking this fact with that the field was quite inuddy the game was a pretty one. Reents of the locals was the only man on the home team to connect safely with the burners that Douglas stung [over the plate during the nine full sessions of the exhibition. While Doug­ las and his team mates were playing this sort of a game, the locals were by no means asleep. Not only does the score indicate this, but, when it is con­ sidered that only one hit is credited to our boys, it stands to reason that they took advantage of every possible open­ ing that was extended to them. The entire scoring was done in two innings, the locals getting their two in the fourth round, while the visitors an­ nexed their "sugars and creams" in the final inning, at a time when the Blues thought they had the game safely tuck­ ed away. The local's tallying was done some­ thing on this order in the fourth inning; Schreiner started out by fanning. Bending drew a pass to first and stole second. Rossman flew out to Pender- gast in the center garden. Heimer sent an easy grounder to third, which "the acrobat" (Brady, by name) juggled a trifle too long, allowing Heimer to reach first in safety. Heimer stole second and the two base runners came home on Reents' dandy two sacker. Kranee ended the proceedings by flying out to Olp. With the score 2 to 0 in favor of the Blues, the Badgers came up strong in the nhith and before the curtain was lowered three (jjf the visitors had crossed the rubber. Olp started the work that proved so disastrous to the locals, with a clean single. He stole second while Quigley went out on a fly to Peterson. Olp again got "chesty" and stole the third sack. Brady sent a short fly into left field, which Rossman failed to get under, the mishap scoring Olp and put­ ting "Ireland" on second. Douglas then shot a hot one thru Reents, which scored Brady, while the batter went to second on the hit. Douglas then took a chance and successfully stole third. He scored a moment later on Mereness' fly to Knox, the throw to the plate being a trifle off to catch the runner. The inning ended when Folman flew out to Rossman. THE SCORE. QUARTER OF A CENTURY.

In a well-played and exciting game the Johnsburgh Grays defeated the Long Lake team on the latter's own grounds at Long Lake last Sunday by the score of 4 to 1. The Long Lake team had strengthened their lineup thru the addition of Beveral semi-pro. players of Chicago for the content, but they all looked alike to the mighty Miller, the box artist of the Grays. By the way, those Johnsburgh boys are playing the games of their lives at the present time and are showing the best of 'em a thing or two about the great national game. Their battery is as good a combination as anyone may wish to see in action in this neck 'o woods. Not a man stole a base on the speedy catcher of the Grays. Two Long Lake players attempted to steal early in the game but were nailed by about a mile. After that when a base runner was fortunate enough \o get onto a base he clung to it with a firmness that is seldom displayed iu baseball these days. The Johnsburgh team is to be con­ gratulated upon the excellent showing they have made thus far this season and we sincerely hope to see them finish the season in the same strong manner that they have thus started same. Think it Saved His Life. Lester M. Nelson, of Naples, Maine, says in a recent letter: "I have used Dr. King's New Discovery many years, for coughs and colds, and I think it saved my life. I have found it a reliable rem­ edy for throat and lung complaints, and would no more be without a bottle than I would be without food." For nearly forty years New Discovery has stood at the head of throat and lung remedies. As a preventive of pneumonia, and heal er of weak lungs it has no equal. Sold under gaaranteeyiat N.

Brown, who we noticed last week as locating here, has changed his mind and moved to Richmond. Dr. C. H. Fegers, of Johnsburgh, has moved to this village, occupying the house lately vacated by Thos. Walsh. The McHenry Brick company have just made a contract to furnish 300,000 brick for the new Union school building at Nunda. Many of the yonng men about town have had their heads sand-papered, and the golden locks of a winter's growth looks as though a severe frost .had vis­ ited this section. Another new doctor, W. H. Perry, has located in this village, with bis office at Besley's drug store. He comes from Michigan and brings with him recommendations of a high order as to character, ability, etc. We have inadvertently omitted to mention that the new deputies in the McHenry post office are Miss Jessie Wightman and Miss Bertha Hollister, After they get the office once systema tized we predict that there will be no better conducted office in McHenry county, as they are both young ladies of taste, skill and business tact. The office will be furnished with new i>oxes as soon as they can be built. Clover blossoms are king in this vicin ity just at present. G. H. Clayson took in at his dryer, in this village, for three days ending Monday night the following Friday, 14,270. Saturday -<82,560. Mon­ day, a trifle over 30,000 pounds. Mr. Clayson informs us that this beats any­ thing in the clover line he ever experi­ enced. From three o'clock until nine at night the streets in the vicinity of the dryer are literally blockaded with wagonB loaded with clover. The Fox River Valley Milld, R. Bishop proprietor, which has been closed and under repairs for the past two months, is now again in running order, although the interior is entirely changed, the old burr stones being discarded for making flour, and in their place introduced what is known as the "Gratiot Vertical Roller Mill." In the repairing and changing over of this mill he has expen- ded upwards of $10,000, and, while of course he expects to benefit himself, it must be admitted that he has done a good thing for McHenry and the sur­ rounding country, and is entitled to great praise from our citizens. 4 A Qrand Family fledicine.

Many sudden deaths are caused by it--heart dis­ ease, pneumonia, lieart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kid­ ney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to advance the kidney-poison­ ed blood will at­ tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel­ ing badly you can make no mistake by. taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and over­ comes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through tlje day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasasit to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new dis­ covery and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil­ mer & Co., Bingliainton, N. Y. When writing mention reading this generous offer in this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp- Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle. " . An Adventurous Correspondent. Few newspapers in the United States are able to command the services of as brilliantr a corps of correspondents as the Chicago Record Herald. Its choice of Walter Wellmau to represent it at Washington is a good illustration of its wise policy of getting the best there is to be had. Mr. Wellman has won a national reputation as a magnetic and resourceful news writer. And now he is preparing to clinch his reputation for originality and daring by trying to reach the north pole in an airship Whatever may be the results of Mr. Wellman's daring attempt to reach the north pole in an airship this sum­ mer and send the uews of the voysge at once to The Record Herald by wireless telegraphy, the Wellman-Record-Her­ ald expedition is sure to be conducted by Mr. Wellman with the same cool courage and whole souled enthusiasm that have made him an ideal newspaper correspondent. Mr. Wellman Vas born in Mentor, O., in 1858. At 14 he began his newspaper experience, establishing at that age a weekly paper in the little town of Sutton, Neb. In 1884 he be­ came the Washington correspondent of the Uhicago Herald, for which paper he visited the West Indies in 1892 and located the landing place of Columbus, marking the spot with a huge stone monument. In 1894 he made his first dash for the pole, reaching the latitude of 81 degrees northeast of Spitzbergen. In 1898 he tried the same fascinating quest again, penetrating as far as Franz Joseph Land. • On both trips he had wonderful success in discovering new islands and securing new scientific data which have been of great value to the American Geographical society. His voluminous writings for scientific peri­ odicals and popular magazines have shown the same incisive thought and keen insight that have marked his jour­ nalistic work.
