Life 100,000 Years Ago. Scientists have found in a cave in Switzerland bones of men, who lived 100, 000 years ago, when life was in con­ stant danger from wild beasts. Today the danger, as show n by A. W. Brown of Alexander, Me., is largely from dead­ ly disease. "If it had not been for Dr. King's New Discovery, which cured me, I could not have lived," he writes, "suf­ fering as I did from a severe lung trouble and stubborn oough." To cure Sore Lungs, Colds, obstinate Conghs and prevent Pneumonia, it's the best medi­ cine on earth. 50c and£$1.00. Guaran teed by N. H. Petesch, F, Masquelet and others. ENKRALD PARK.

Next Sunday is the day set aside for the third and decisive battle between the McHenry Bines and Johnsburgh team at the local baseball ^grounds, each team having one gtime to its credit thus f$F this season. The teams could not be more evenly matched and a red- hot contest may be expected. The first game of the present series between these two teams went to McHenry by the score of 12 to 9 while Johnsburgh took the second, administering a clean- cut shut-out to the McHenryites, the score being 7 to 0. With the Germans going at top speed and Bending in the prime of condition, the exhibition should develop into an interesting and exciting struggle. The game will be called at promptly 2:45 p. m. General admission, 35 cents; ladies and children, 15 cents. CHICAGO IMPERIALS ARE DEFEATED. The Chicago Imperials were the at­ traction at the baseball park here last Sunday and left this little burg a very much disappointed lot. The Chica- goans, after the game, sprung that old, old "noise" that they had left their best players at home, or something to that effect. Of course, if the manager of the Cbicagoans had been thoughtful enough to bring "their best players" along there would have been nothing to it but Im­ perials. Miller, who was on the mound for the Germane, had the windy city bunch well in hand during the entire contest and at no stage of the game were the metropolitan boys considered dangerous opponents. The game was far from the best that the Johnsburgh boys are capable of putting up. In fact, their fielding was anything but up to the team's standard. However, the Germans, as usual, were there with the stiok and connected with the pigskin sufficiently to entitle them to six rune, while the enemy had all they could pos­ sibly do to send one runner across the counting station. In spots, the game was played true to the big league ideas, but, kind fan, remember, this was in spots only. Niesen covered the initial sack for Johnsburgh in a pleasing man­ ner and easily played the best game of bis baseball career at this station. George Nell, at third, played his usual snappy game, while the balance of the team supported Niesen fairly well, al- tho it could have been better. The Im­ perials are booked for another game here and we are informed by the man­ ager that on their next appearance here they will have the pleasure of introduc­ ing to our natives one of the greatest baseball combinations that ever left Chicago. , A Night Rider's Raid.
