FAILED TO PUT UP.
The Match Is Off and Gardner
Wants a Fight.

]. H. Herman received word from
Kansas City that the Omaha Kid failed
to make the final deposit with the
Kansas City Times for the match with
Tommy Dixon and that the stake
money, as we'll as Gardner's forfeit,
will be sent back at once. Mr.. Herman
says that the reason Gardeners hacker
did not make the deposit good was
that he lost confidence in Gardner
since his defeat by O'Donnell last
week.
Eddie Gardner is anxious to ar
range match with any 110-pound man
for any amount of money, either for
a limited number of rounds or to a
finish, and he would like to hear from
either Billy Mcdonald, Eddie Schoen-
born or Dick Ward.

Half fill the bottle with water and
throw in two powders that are used
to make settler water, tartaric acid
and bicarbonate of soda, which may
be bought at drug store ready for
use. Effervescence will at once take
place, throwing off carbonic acid gas,
and this will escape through the fun

But if you have placed within the
funnel two or three little balls of elder
pith, or even Of cork, the gas cannot
escape except at intervals, for as one
ball is lifted from the orifice another
will drop down to close it. By paint
ing these balls in different colors you
may produce pretty effect.
The effect may be made more beau

rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid

ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and:
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

every Objectionable substance.

About 9:so a. M, Waten eight miles
southwest OF the Sohth lighthouse,
Capt. Ed Dodge sighted whale, and

close enough to the great mammal to
enable her commander to throw the
harpoon, which he did very, sccessful-

and leaving IN it's pathway crest OF

presently the whale owed deep in

whereabouts. Soon Capt. DOnSe add

Ihi3 was done about 100 D. H., and
from that time OH to 4:5O D. III. there
was much excitement and fun enough
on beard the Ocean View to last the
young women from Springfield and
Enfield for years to come. Sometimes
the whale ran straight ahead, increas-
ing the speed of the vessel percepti-
bly,; then he would run in a circle.
Sometimes he would make a rush
across the bow of the vessel; and
twice he .dived under it. After he had
performed the latter interesting trick
once Mr.. Taylor suggested to the
young women that the next time he
lid 1t he would knock the vessel into
kindling wood with his tail. But the
women had faith in Capt Dodge's
skill and judgment, and they We're not
scared bit.
For seven hours the Ocean View fol-
lowed the monster, in one direction
and another, until finally she was
twenty miles at sea- For more than
three hours Capt. Dodge or his engin-
Ger had hold of the rope, gradually
drawing the whale toward the vessel,
IN order that it might be killed by an
other thrust of the harpoon; but at
1870 p m. the rope broke where it en-
flrcled the ring of the imbedded mis-
slle. And now the whale is roaming
the great deep, carrying with him the
spear as a reminder of the seven
hours battle, while tho men who vain
~ tried to haul him in have hands
sore enough to keep them thinking of
the whale for some time to come.
Capt. Dodge says the next time he
goes whaling he is going to have a
crew of Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut girls. for they know how to stand
Mt the helm. and all that. in an
emergency. and don't 'scare" when
the monsters tail is Uncomfortable
close to the ship.
1t was Capt. Dodee's intention to
tow the whale into Block Island har-
Dor and put him on exhibition, as it
would have been qnite curiosity. not
one having been brought in here in
the memory of the present generation.
The whale was some thirty feet long.
