1t took nearly three hours for the

putting it mildly. Both Umpires Sheri

Sheridan looked after bases and he
made several rank decisions. He called

after he had beaten the ball out by at
least three feet. The contest was
all old time slugging match, and
it only took The visitors two innings to
knock Mcfarland, the Southern league

succeeded him, was no Improvement,
but as there was little show of winning

HEALTH MAzIMS.

''Six thousand persons die in New
York City every year from wasting dis
eases. This statement, in the light Of
the knowledge that every one of these
cases was in the first instance prevent
able. shows how desirable 1t is that
every one should understand how to
avoid taking the disease"
These are the words of a weIl.known
physician. and here are some valuable
suggestions made by him:
1T Is lndigeStible food and food taken
at the wrong time which causes that
condition Of the system which ermIts
the taking Of cold. Whatever tends TO
weaken digestion and impoverish the
blood. hurts the entire system and opens
the way to disease"
The symptoms of indigestion ara
usually flushed face, spots or blurs be.
fore the eyes, flashes of light. zig-zag
INES or chains, sense of fullness over
the stomach, belching, despondency,
etc., often followed by the most severe
headaches. These symptoms are usually
relieved when the gas is expelled from
the stomach"
whenever person gets run down
In strength, reduced in weight, or be.
comes thin by reason of some wasting
disease, 1T Is very fashionable to COM
mence what might be well called the
stuffing process. Cod liver oil prepara-
lions, farlnaceous foods, beef teas. con-
coetions OF malt, oats, Second-rate wines
and beef extracts are given to the I'M
fortunate person continually, thus ruin
ing what little digestive power he has
LETT and causing untold suffering. LIZ
allowed to make suggestion, l would
say that IN place of this, Paskola. ths
pre-dlgeSted food, should be given.
This not only builds up sound, healthy
flesh, but rests and strengthens the di-
gesllve organs in remarkable way."
Food to the body is what fuel is to
the engine. Life ceases when nourish-
ment stops, and the machinery won't go
when the steam disappears"
IVY hen man suffers from indigestion
there are seldom any fatal results, but
when what the doctors call 'compIiea-
tons. set IN. then Is the time to pray."
The germs of consumption have no
power over healthy tissue. Before they
can attack or injure anyone. that person
must be run down in health in some
way, either by worriment, exposure or
cold, long continued Indigestion, or
oyer-work or over-studY. Such persons
should always exercise great care and
use the best and most advanced dis
coveries. For this purpose Paskola is
uHequaled."
Paskola may be obtained of any reput-
able druggist. A pamphlet on food and
digestion will be mailed free OIL appIica-
ton to the Pre-Digested Food Company,

Defeats Thayer With All the
HandiCaDs

DeIS2tS 1nayeP with ALI the
Handicaps
Thayer and Sampson met at Foley's
last night in the fourth game of the
summer billiard handicap tournament

rail, and Sampson played fourte en-
inch balk line. Thayer reached double
figures six times-l2, IS, IL, II, %. 16.
SIMPSONS doubles were: IA, II, II. Is,
10. II. II, 13, So, Is, IL, IL. II. Sampson
won IN fifty-six innings. making his 800
to Thayer's 2l5. SIMPSONS average was
5 u-2S. Thayer's actual average was
3 4-56. As will be seen by the above.
Thayer's high run was %, and that of
Sampson ST. When the so allowed
Thayer TO start with, on his handicap of
$50 is conceded, it must be considered
that the game was all exceedingly close
one, when Thayer was pitted against a
player like Sampson. Even wthuuG
considering the 80 allowed Thayer, the
game was most excellent and interest
ing one.
at 8 o'clock tonight Joe Carney, of
Minneapolis, at 500. straight rail, will
meet and compete with Howard Estes,
at $50, i'll the same style of game.

War Pleases the UnempIoved

CHICAGO, Aug. "A rumor that the
war between China and Japan had re-
suited in the placing of large orders for
meats with stock yards firms by Euro
pean governments led several hundred
people to the yards today in search Of
employment. The pressure for work
was strong, and at Swift & Co.'S, who,
it was rumored, had received large
extra orders for canned goods, the
crowd which was out at the doors he
came so great that three extra police
officers were called. When it was found
that there was little extra activity thg

BLOODSHED IN SAMOA.
TWO SKERTISHES, WITH
HEAVY Loss OF LIFE.
No Signs of Settlement of the
Struggie-Treaty Powers Not
Interfering.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2. The steam
shipAlameda arrived today fromSydney,
Auckland, Apia and Honolulu, bring
ing the following island advices:
Apla, Samoa, July 1S.-rhe native
troubles here have undergone but little
change since the sailing of the previous
steamer. There have been two sklrm-
ishes between small bands of the con-
tending forces and several Samoans
have been killed and wounded. There
has, however, been no really serious
outbreak and the protracted struggle
does not appear to be near termina-
ton. No decisive action having been
taken by the treaty power the rebel
leaders nave improved their opportunity
by circulating reports that King Malie-
toa and his government are to be over
thrown by the three treaty powers. 1t
Is claimed that in this manner the rebel
leaders have succeeded in augmenting
their numbers. The natives are told
also that In the event of successful
revolution they will no longer have to
pay taxes or submit to many other for
malities of government that are obnox-
ious. The rebel bands maintain their
ground in Atua and are we'll supplied
with arms and ammunition. No de-
termined attempts have been made to
dislodge them, and the only lighting
was
Desultory Skirmishing
In the bush between the rebels and
bands Of the kings warriors. Both
rebel and government warriors con-
TRUE their barbarous practice of be-
heading those of the enemy who fall
into their hands. A number of the
German residents here have forwarded
a petition asking the German govern
ment to annex or establish a protecto-
rate over Samoa. The German war
ships Buzzard and Fake and the Brit
ish cruiser Curacao are still In the har-
Dor here. The Orlando. flagship of the
BritisE-Australian squadron, arrived
here July and remained four days.
She sailed for Fiji. The British resi-
dents here expected the admiral to
interfere to restore order.
Owing 10 continued warfare MANY of
the natives have neglected their plant
ing, and, as result, food is becoming
scarce among them. Some of the ma
tives are resorting to theft, and of
course the foreign residents are the
greatest sufferers.
