The game of ball Tuesday aft
ernoon between the regulars and
J. H. Cutters was not a good
drawing card and instead of
proving a benefit actually proved
to be a detriment in the way of
cost. Peter Bach pitched for
the regulars and shut out his
opponents until the final inning,
when they put in 5 runs to 15 of
a a , 1
the regulars, ui course me
regulars could have shut them
out altogether, but eased up in
the last inning.

GASTINEAU ON TRIAL
Charged With Attempting to Assault a
Little Girl at Eureka Springs.
Eureka Springs, Aug. 29.— Jim
Gastineau, who was arrested
Saturday night for attempting
assault on Lillian Brown of this
place, had his preliminary hear
ing in Justice McLaughlin’s
court at 10 o’clock this morning.
Little Lillian told her story
with sobs avd tears. It seems
Gastineau knew the little girl
and joined her on her way home
under the guise of getting her
some apples. He inveigled her
away from the path into the
orulch. where he took her in his
lap and took liberties with her
person, which so frightened little
Lillian that she broke away and
ran to her home. Lillian Brown
is a bright, sweet 10-year-old
child, the pride and joy of the
foster parent. Gastineau is a
! blacksmith by trade, about 35
' years old with a family, one of
i the children being a little girl
about the same age of the vic
iim. His wife will soon give
birth t a child.
A few years ago Gastineau’s
brother was sent to the peniten
1 tiary for the same crime.

THE EVILS OF
CONSTIPATION.
Everyone Knows When He is Consti
pated and Everyone Should Know
the Risk He is Running When
He Fails to Promptly
Correct it.
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to
Which He or She May be Exposed
is Sure to Result Seriously.
There are two ways to remove consti
pation; the wrong way is to drench the
bowels with a powerful, griping, drastic
cathartic that injures the coating of the
bowel channels and produces an early
return of the trouble in a more chronic
form. The right way is to use a natural,
easy and mild laxative that tones up and
strengthens the bowels and leaves a
healthful influence behind it. Prickly
Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just
as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics,
and combines all the tonic and strength
ening properties necessary to perma
nently cure the habit.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure i ia red on the front label.

Lake Tahoe.
One of the most beautiful lakes
in the world lies in the heart of
the Sierras on “The Overland
Route,” 6,220feet above the sea
level, and is completely hemmed
in by mountain walls, whose
rugged peaks rise in many places
to an additional height of from
2,000 to 4,000 feet. It is twenty
three miles wide and from 100 to
2,000 feet deep. The entire re- j
gion surrounding the lake is pic
turesque almost beyond descrip
tion, and a never-ending delight
to the eye. This region is reached
only over the Union Pacific and
its connections, the fast train?
via this route reach California
many hours ahead of all com
petitors. Inquire of

The sense of sight grows most
precious, though often the best
of glasses cannot restore to old
eyes even a portion of their
youthful power. These facts
should impress all with the im
portance of early care for the
organs of sight. Do not wait
till your eyes become impaired,
but have them tested at once, as
often an eye specialist can detect
and remedy in time what might
prove a serious trouble if ne
glected. .

A. H. Thurnes, Mgr. Wills Creek Coal Co., Buffalo, O., writes:
“I have been afflicted with kidney and bladder trouble for years, pass
ing gravel or stones with excruciating pains. Other medicines only
gave relief. After taking FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE the result was
surprising. A few doses started the brick dust, like fine stones, etc.,
and now I have no pain across my kidneys and I feel like a new man.
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE has done me $1,000 worth of good.”
