Manager Wagner haa been besieged with applicants for positions on the Crown Point team tomorrow In Its game wlnh the Southern Bloomer girls. And instead of having; to pay for an expensive 11ns up of players Wagner has the chance of becoming; a baseball magnate If he accepts some of the choice offers from ball handlers anxious to play against the visitors. "Good looking," "lithe of limb." "fine disposition" etc. are written by the applicant In moit Instances, as qualifications for a berth on the team tomorrow, and being a "good ball player" Is never even hinted at by those desirious of ( opposing the "Bloomer girls" ' In an exhibition of the great American game. ' Certain sure if the public is anxious to see the contest as any number of players are to play against the fair visitors a record breaking crowd can be expected and the home team be placed financially on Easy street for the balance of the season.

MELANCHOLY mm Should Profit by Mrs. Hurley's Experience Her Own Story Here Told.

Eldon, Ma "I was troubled with displacement, organic Inflammation and

female weakness,

For two years I could not stand on my feet long at a time and I could not walk two blocks without enduring cutting and drawing paina down my right side which increased

once a month. I have been at that time purple in the

face and would walk the floor. I could not lie down or sit still sometimes for a day and a night at a time. I was nervous, had very little appetite, no ambition, melancholy, and often felt as though I had not a friend in the world. "After I had tried most every female remedy first, without success, my mother-in-law advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did so and gained in strength every day. I have now no trouble in any way and highly praise your medicine. It advertises itself." Mrs. S. T. Hurley, Eldon, Missouri. Remember, the remedy which did this was Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. For sale everywhere. It has helped thousands of women who hare been troubled with displacements, Inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing down feeling, indigestion, and nervous prostration, after all other means have failed. Why don't yoa try it?

public as an applicant for city office this fall and will probably be the Incentive for many more to fall in line for the various city offices to be filled by election this fall. Chas. Esslinger, keeper of the Erie buffet and hotel has a duck that certainly bears a charmed life and it being alive today bears out the above statement In it's mirsjtest detail. Along with a flock of it's brothers and sisters, the duck recently waddled down to the nearby Erie tracks In search of cobblestone and other edible morsels for which the Erie Is noted as furnishing. The flock had just finished filling their

gizzards with cobble stone, coupling pins and railroad spikes and was homeward bound, like a Chinese funeral procession when the Erie 12:J0 train eastbound hove into sight. Most of the flock of brother and sister ducks saw their Imminent danger and succeeded In clearing the right of way before the big train was upon them, but not so Mr. Duck In question. Whether he was weighted down with too many bolts and pieces of gravel is not known but at any rats he failed to make a

successful get away and the big train bore down on him. With a quack and

a lightning duck of his head he squat

ted down in the center of the track

as the big train tore over him and those witnessing the occurrence ex

pected to see nothing but a scrambled duck on the track long efore the big passenger train came to a full stop. No so however, Mr. Duck's end was

not to be yet. Before the last coach came to a stop the amazed onlookers saw a bunck of feathers and quacks spring from between the wheels of the coach and land safe and sound on the station platform where ducky dear re

joined its brothers and sisters without the ruffle of its feathers or temper. Mrs. Thomas McCay is visiting with relatives In Hammond toady.
