CAN'T STOP THE FIGHT.
This Is the Opinion of the Best Legal
Talent in Arkansas.

Talent in Arkansas.
Hot SPRINGS. Ark, Oct. 15-Accord-
ing to the opinion of the best legal talent
in Arkansas there is nothing in the laws
of this state by which the con-
test between Corbett and Fitzsimmons
can be prevented. The matter was sub
mitted to two of the best lawyers in the
state last night and this afternoon they
gave the foregoing as their opinion.
In order to clinch the matter and pre-
vent any interference on the part of the
legal authorities, the officials of the
Florida Athletic club arranged for
glove contest to take place at once. 1t is
their purpose to have these contestants
arrested and taken before Judge Dutiie
to determine the matter in the courts.
The decision Of Judge Dufiie will prob
ably be given out tomorrow. If he
agrees with tine opinions given by the
lawyers, the fight cannot be stopped. If
he decides against tho Athletic club
officials, an appeal will be taken to the
supreme court 1t is believed by those
interested, however. that Judge Dutfie
will render favorable decision.

Since Paine's celery compound was
first prescribed some years ago by Prof.
Phelps and his followers, thousands of
clear thinking, busy practitioners, to re-
store strength and build up weakened
nerves-during this long interval of
years there have been countless men and
women made permanently well and
strong by taking it.
During all these years every mail has
without exception brought some mes
sage from one of the countless homes
where sickness had been banished and
anxiety for some dear member dispelled
by the employment OF this most remark
