orders of the digestion and bilious spalls
are passed by as of no moment. In them-
selves these complaints may not be dan-
gerous but if neglected their cumulative
effect is terrible.
The men who neglects the little disorders
that are the eigne of approaching iU-health

cause his death. The explosion will come

“ Have been in poor liealth for about seven
years " writes Mrs. I. Albert Eakins of No. 148
Malo Street. Daitas Texas. • • Every summer rd

kiduevs for five years at least. I could not Wand

Hisoovery ‘ Favorite Prescription' and ' Pleasant

and did not care to live. Now lam well."
Constipation is a little illness that if
neglected builds a big. one. Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. One
little “Pellet ” is a gentle laxative and two
a mild cathartic. They never gripe.

POLL OF FIGHT.
CORBETT WANTS TO MEET M'COY
OCTOBER 15.
Chiquita Beat Her Field at Newport
At 50 to I—False Prices Laid by the
Books There.
The failure of Frank Erne and Kid
Lavigne to meet before the Hawthorne
Athletic club by the interference of
Sheriff Kilgallon makes more gloomy
the prespects of Corbett and McCoy
who are booked to meet at the same
place October 15.
Norman Selby (Kid McCoy)said:
“I am not going to train. It always
takes about a year to bring a fight off
with Corbett and Fitz and I am sick
of trying. Of course I will have
nothing to say about the Corbett bout
until I see Gray but I’m not going
back to training until I know some-
thing definite.”
George F. Considine Corbett’s man-
ager said: “Corbett will go on train-
ing. We will continue while there is
a hope. Corbett wants to fight McCoy
if not at Baffalo at any other city
spot or place on earth.”
Corbett said: “I won’t allow Mc-
Coy to get away from me. He shall
not sneak off on the road and make
money on the reputation his match
with me has given him until I have
a chance to shatter it. 'I will fight
him anywhere. We can get together
somewhere. lam going to keep right
on with my training work. I wilube
ready on October 15. and there is no
other reason why we can not pull off
the contest on that date. McCoy be-
longs to me for the present and I
won't let him off. I am waiting to
hear from Considine and the Haw-
thorne club. If Buffalo does not feel
equal to the emergency we are open to
offers from other clubs. The biggest
purse will get the fight.”
Tom O’Rourke offered to lead the
pugs out of the darkness of Buffalo in-
to the glare of New York’s electric
lights. The Lenox Athletic club will
open its doors for the Corbett-McCoy
mill but as the promotors of that af-
fair are after pictures as much as
fight. It is not likely to take place un-
der their roof.
Indians are on the Reds' trail. Te-
bean’s Exiles are plying ball just as if
they were at home. Cincinnati is play-
ing about as bad on the road as at
home. A man would run out of
fingers and have to take in toes to
enumerate all the games that the Reds
have lost for the want of some timely
hit or through an error of judgment
or a play or two comes a wail from
PorkopoTis.
The Newport betting ring is a big
loser on the meeting. Although the
syndicate system is in vogue the odds
offered have in many instances been
much more liberal than could be ob-
tained in an open ring. In some races
it looked like the water boy was doing
the figuring and to a close student of
form the odds offered were decidedly
amateurish. For instance on the
first day of the meeting Don Clarenclo
a first-rate selling plater was entered
with a field of bad dogs and simply
romped home.
Horses like J I C pounds and
pounds better than their fields have
run at even money or better and in
some events from students have beat-
en the race all three ways. There was
an example of this in the first race
Monday. Air Blast a first-class colt
with Jess iMatthews the best of the
jockey corps up was quoted at even
money. Press Kimble was 6to 5 a
plhce.and there was even money on
Herbert to show.
In the last race Chiquita II was en-
tered in a very ordinary field at 1%
miles. She carried but 91 pounds
and the books laid 50 to 1 against her.
They either did not know or overlook-
ed the fact that this same filly at St.
Louis in a race at 1 3-16 miles had
finished a good third to Meddalo and
Wiison two of the best at that track.
The odds may have been laid on her
rider Dugan but in that they were
wrong again for considering his
mounts Dugan has been riding well.
Anyhow Chiquita was the best in
the race and several of the books had
to cash tickets on her at 50 to 1. The
price was a false one and although
this has been the only winner at this
odds it is a safe wager that with an
open ring and with abunch of form
students connected with each book
that Chiquita's price would have been
considerably shorter. One bettor
said to me Monday: “You know I
seldom bet more than $lO to a race but
at just such bets as these I have won
81400 in the eight days of the meeting.
I beat one race four or five different
ways last Saturday. I bet on one
horse to win and two others to show
and then got 7 to 1 from the combina-
tion man to bunch the first three. Well
I cashed every ticket. There's all the
difference in the world between this
syndicate and the one headed by those
grand masters of ‘dopology’ at other
tracks.”—Lamb in Cincinnati Post.

A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle of
Santiago*
SICK OR WELL A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY
The Packeraat the Battle of Nuntl-
ago de Culm were all Heroes.
Their Heroic Efforts tn Getting
Ammunition and Rations to the
Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler of pack-train No. 3
writing from Santiago de Cuba on Ju-
ly 23d says:
“We all had diarrhoea in more or less
violent form and when we landed we
had no time to see a doctor for it was
a case of rush and rush night and day
to keep the troops supplied with am-
munition and rations but thanks to
Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy we were able to keep
at work and keep our health; in fact
I sincerely believe that at one critical
time this medicine was the indirect
saviour of our army for it the packers
had been unable to work there would
have been no way of getting supplies
to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could use. My
comrade and myself had the good for-
tune to lay in a supply of this medi-
cine for our pack-train before we left
Tampa and I know in four cases It
absolutely saved life.”
The above was written to the manu-
facturers of this medicine the Cham-
berlain Medicine Company Des Moines
