The game between Cambridge and McCook , Thursday afternoon , was one of the best ever played on the local ground , McCook winning in the last half by a score of II to 9. Up to the close it looked as though Cambridge must win , but some fortunate work by Garvey and others with the st i c k brought in four scores and won the game. It was a fine game , enthusiastically sup ported by rooters for both clubs. A whole car-load of Cambridge people came up with their favorites and the locals "fans" were out in large and vo ciferous numbers. Quite a base-ball revival is the result of yesterday's game. Eleven to One. The game of ball played in our city , last .Saturday afternoon , between the clerks of the store-houses of Lincoln and McCook was rather one-sided , the visitors making but one score while the local aggregation piled up eleven to their credit. The Lincoln team was composed for the most part of smaller men of less experience and skill than the home combination , and victory came easily for McCook. The visitors were a fine lot of boys and played nice ball , "but it didn't count , " as a McCook player expressed it. Masonic Social. McCook Lodge No. 135 , A. F. & A.

After the ceremony a wedding supper was served on small tables disposed in different rooms of the residence. At each plate there was a pink carnation tied with white baby-ribbon and the sandwiches were similarly tied with pink baby-ribbon.

Since Dr. Williams' last visit to our ity , his instrument for the treatment of liseases of the ear , nose and throat , has roven itself a friend indeed to those iuffering from such troubles , and the iemand for it is daily becoming larger. Colonel Walter E. Corwin is having a arge fish pond excavated and construct- d on his place south-west of the city. le expects to fill it from the ditch and perate a pump by steam to raise suf - ient water to keep the pond fresli nough to sustain life. At the first sign that your eyes are mrting you , you should have them at- ended to. It may mean blindness if rou persist in thinking that nothing is he matter. Consult Drs. Seymour S : .Villiatns when they are here , Monday , uly i , at the Commercial hotel. A proper sense of modesty should keep he grown boys and men from bathing oo near the east river bridge , as women lot uncommonly drive over that struc- ure to and from the city. A failure to ive decent heed to this suggestion hould bring the minions of the law own upon those exposing themselves mnecessarily. Dr. Williams wishes to again impress ipon our readers that he will not charge or consultation , as he positively refuses o take any case without first making a ireliminary examination for his own icnefit. Thisis certainly very cornmend- ble , as it shows that the doctor is maser - er of his profession and will not accept case in which he is not sure he can , icrfect a cure.
