WHY is it so many suffer from rheuma-
tism, aches, paths, kidney diseases, liver
complaints, heart affection. etc? 1t is SIM
ply because they will not come and be
healed. All diseases begin from want OF
iron i'm the blood. This want of iron makes
the blood thin, watery and impure: I'M
pure blood carries weakness and distress
to every part of the body. Supply this lack
of iron by using Browns Iron Bitters, and
YOU will soon find yourself enjoying per-
feet freedom from aches. pains and gen.
eral ill-health.

The Opium Smuggling Trial.

CHICAGO, March IA dispatch
from Bismarck. OAK, says: The
opium smuggling trial was closed
in the United States court
here last evening, in the case of Cur
ran, the old man arrested for trans
portation of the opium from Canada
to Dakota, the jury disagreed, stand
ing eight for acquittal and four for con-
viction. Curran then changed his
pleading of not guilty and pleaded
guilty to the charge of facilitating the
transportation of the opium, but not
to intent ionally wrong doing. After
a conference with the attorneys, the
case against Curran was dis
missed and sentence on the
charge to which he pleaded guilty
was suspended. 1t is learned the
dealer to whom the opium was con-
signed, was sentenced to seven
months in the peniten tiary. 1t is be-
lieved that the action in the case of
Curran means that he will furnish
evidence, which will lead to the ar
rest of the entire gang, which has
been engaged in smuggling opium
for wears.

Pacific Coast Championship.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-The
fight to a finish last night, between
Sailor Brown, of New York, and
Young Mitchell, of San Francisco,
for 81 800 and the middle weight
championship of the Pacific slope. re-
suited in a victory for the latter, at
the end of the twenty-frst round.
The fight took place at the rooms of
the Golden Gate Athletic club. Billy
Jordan was chosen referee. Both
men were in fine condition, Brown
weighing l55 pounds, and Mitchell $50
Brown looked a tritle nervous while
Mitchell carried himself confiden-
TALLY. First round Brown led, and
the men clinched but broke immedi-
ately. Mitchell got in a couple of
good left handlers without receiving
any damage. Brown rushed and gave
Mitchell right handler on the neck.
The round closed with the fighters on
even terms. The second round both
men spared cautiously at long range,
Mitchell with a clever coun ter drew
first blood from Browns nose, but a
second later received a singer him
self. Mitchell had a little the best
of the round. Third round Mitchell
did little rushing this time
forcing Brown against the ropes,
but the latter got away without
damage, fierce fighting followed,
hard blows being exchanged; Brown
bled profusely and his breast was
covered with red stream. At the
end of the round Browns nose and
lips were swollen badly, while Nit
chell was apparently without a
scratch from the 4th to the 10th
rounds, Brown pursued the rushing
tactics but no telling blows were
struck. In the seventh round
Mitchell was thrown heavily in
a clinch and claimed foul
which was not allowed. In the tenth
round Mitchell forced his opponent
into his corner and got in a stinger on
the ear. Brown recovered and return
ed the compliment. Brown, just as
the gong rang for time, rushed and
with his right hand caught Mitchell
in the face. 1t was anybOdy's fight al
the end of that round.

The Fisheries Again.

WORCESTER, Mass, March l4.-Re-
ports from Newfoundland say, that
the issue of the licenses to American
vessels for the purchase of bait and
other necessary outfit will be refused
this season, and that the government
will coincide with the Dominion gov
eminent in its policy. The reason al
legged is, that American vessels last
season violated the licenses given
them, and bait purchased in New
foundland was sold to the French at
st. Pierre. The fishermen who have
recently returned from Fortune and
Placentia bays, say the cutters are
already patroling the coast and every
port is strictly guarded, so that no
violation of the bait act can be &C
complished. Cargoes can be pur-
chased for export under 900 dollars
bond that they are to be landed in
American ports.

MacCollin's Two Bills.

Yesterday afternoon the MacCollin
Opera company presented the opera
1.-THE Kings Musketeers," to a very
good audience, and at night the ever
popular "NTikado" was given to a still
larger audience. 1.-THE Musketeersn
is very bright, sparkling opera,
pleasing in every way, and contain
ing beautiful music. 1t has a very
pretty love plot, Astounding in the
practical joking idea OF most comic
opera and gives a ludicrous lunge at
the Catholics, on the way the nun
neries were carried on in the old
world two centuries ago. The chorus
in the first act, accompanied by sew
eral pretty solos and duet were very
pleasing, and Messrs. Ford, Apple,
MacCollin, and Misses Fannie Hall,
and Lille Hall, Roche, and Darling,
all received due praise as the leading
characters.
In the Mikado, of course Mr.. E. p.
Smith, as "Ko-ko," was highly origi-
nal and very absurd. He does not
sing it as we'll as it has
been sung, but puts more
originality into it. AS "Poo-Bah, ="
Mr.. w. H. Ford sang very well, and
also acted the part. The "Mikado''
of Mr.. Delahunt was good part as
was Mr.. Apple in the role of "Nanki-
Poo.n Miss Fannie Hall as "Yum
YUM" Miss Darling as Pitt Sing,
and Miss Roche as "Katisha" also
sang well aud the audience were very
well pleased, encouraging the actors
by frequent applause and many en-
cores. The MacCollin Opera Com
pany has pleased San AntOnians, and
have won place among our favorites.
We will be 10th to see them depart.
Tonight in Bohemian Girl" is their
last appearance and they should be
seen and heard by all who have here
tofore missed the opportunity.
