jy20-lw Heilman, Imboden Co A "heavy weight" base ball club is being talked of about the Union depot The nine will consist of a couple of baggage handlers, a ticket agent, a mil liouaire, a pugilist and four pick ups They will challenge the world as the best heavy weight club. The first game will be matched for a square meal. John Ferrell, who was struck by the Illinois Central locomotive a few days ago, is rapidly growing worse, lie i3 at the poor house, and is receiving careful attention. He was struck on the right side of the head, and now the left side is badly swollen up. Serious results may not follow the accident, but matters begin to look bad for him now.

KAILROAO RACKET. Business on the "little Wabash" narrow guage is reported booming. The C. A. conductors and brake-men have adapted anew uniform.

Engineer Brown, running the 47 on the Chicago division, was badly scalded by the bursting of a flue on Tues day. Three thousand patents have been issued for car couplers. The Master Car builders' Association has been un able to select any of them for a stand ard. The order of railroad conductors, with a membership of prohibits drunkenness or the sale of intoxicating liquors by its members) and makes "striking a sufficient cause for dis missal. A train was drawn from New York on Tuesday by a water- gas or hydrogen-burning engine.

The inventor was on the engine, and the train made the schedule time, with a minute and a half to spare. A report has leaked out that O. Jones, passenger conductor on the east division of the Wabash, also one of the proprietors of the Tremont house, at Danville, has been appointed general passenger and ticket agont of the Lake Erie Western line. One good feature of the Wabash management is that they are not now discharging their men for each little accident that ma7 occur. They think that new men are as liable to get into trouble as the older men are to repeat offense.

to the effect that the police and saloon- ists were organizing base ball teams to play a match game in the near future. We learn from "private" sources that they will meet on the four-cornered arena in the course of a few weeks. The salconists are to furnish a "pitch-el" for both as the police have no one that can "fill" that position. The contest will be for a "goblet" and a "silver handled billy." The "supplies" to be paid for by both teams. The police are good "batters," but it is believed that the saloonists can "strike" the "pitcher" harder than the police, who will base their success on "errors" made by the saloonists.

If the police fail to "get" as many "runs" as the saloonists "make," it is expected that the spectators will call for "time" and strike" the "umpire" for a new "team." The saloonists are good on "flies" and are liable to "fill up" their "nine" with professionals," who will introduce "new tricks" that will tend to "rattle" their opponents. There is already some "squealing" about the saloonist's "pitcher" pitching for both sides, because it gives the saloonists "too much" the advantage, as their "pitcher" can throw "straight" when they are at the bat and "twist" them so as to create a "dizziness" in the hands of the police when they are "batting." There will be finger "smashers" bat "punches" arm "slings," "eye openers and closers" to add amusement for the spectators and "season" the enteitainment. Base ballists admitted free. Those arriving "too late" to "get in" will not be allowed to decorate the lumber piles, freight cars or trees bordering the grounds. Fashionable people will be permitted to drive up in their fine carriages and look over the fence.

Tommy Andrews is said to be one of the "heavy men" in the new scheme. Fruit "Fakers." For sometime Dr. J. X. Bills had been promising himself that he would have several mischievous boys arrested for stealing fruit from his orchard on South Broadway.

Yesterday he swore out a warrant for the arrest of Ed Hickey and Hogan Graves, both aged 17 years of age. Marshal Ilewes made the arrest and the young fruit "fak ers" were put in the calaboose to await their trials, which will take place in Justice Albert's court this afternoon at 1 o'clock. Mr. Bills says that he has been bothered a great deal with a number of boys who have frequently visited his fruit farm and stolen and. destroyed a great deal of his fine fruit JIAltKIED.

Woman's True Friend. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Tliie none can deny, especially when assistance is rendered when one is sorely afflicted with disease, more particularly those complaints and weaknesses so common to our female population. Every woman should know that Electric Bitters are woman's true friend, and will positively restore her to health, even when all other remedies fail.
