''Pm ever so glad that tomorrow will

YEARLY, as he came in and took off his over
coat "a man who works as hard as | do
needs holiday good deal oftener than he
gets one. It's an immense relief to know
that don't have to get up early tomorrow
morning and hustle off to the store,''
"I'm sure it must be" replied Mrs.
Dillingham; as she kissed her husband.
Glow do you expect to put in the day?'
"There are several little things I've laid
out to do. I've been wanting to paint the
window and door screens ever since took
them in when the flies left, but haven't
seemed to find time to do it, They will
last longer and look better if they receive
a good coat of paint when they are put

The camel is a beast Of great strength
and endurance. Nothing hurts it until
the proverbial 'last straw" is added to
its burden. The human digestive system
is very much like camel. 1t is really as
tonishing how much abuse it will stand.
Sometimes, however, something wore
than usual will be eaten, and will go
through the stomach into the bowls, and
there it will stick-that's constipation.
Nine tenths of all human sickness is due to
constipation. Some of the simplest symp-
toms are coated tongue and foul breath,
dizziness, heartburn, flatulence, sallowness,
distress after eating, headaches and lassi-
tude A little thing will cause constipa-

for constipation. They are tiny, sugar
coated granulcs, mild and natural in their
action. There is nothing injurious about
them. Sold by druggists.

MEXICO rs KILLING.
No Lac ia That Country to Prevent the
Fight.

10 Lutc IN mat CouatTy 10 9Tere3tB the
Fight.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 3.-Minister
Romero of Mexico, speaking without of
fetal information on the subject, in
clined to the belief this afternoon
that the proposed -Fitzsimmons
fight might be brought off within
the Mexican borders If all parties con-
cerned so agreed. The place said to have
been selected is in the State of Tamauli-
pas, which touches the southern border of
Texas, on the Rio Grande, and is con-
venient TO the railroads. There appears
TO be no existing law that will prevent the
fight there. Speaking of this possibility.
Mr.. Romero said that as general propo-
sition the various States of Mexico are
independent and supreme over their own
territory in regard 10 police regulations,
the Federal Government exercising con-
troll only at the seat of Government-the
City of Mexico. Although he could not
say so positively, DIR. Romero was in
clined TO believe that the State of Tam
aulipas had no law against prizehghting.
President Diaz has been quoted as being
opposed to the fight taking place in
Mexico, but this opposition, as Minister
Romero understands it, was restricted to
the City of Mexico itself. Although the
President had no authority over the State
of Tamaulipas, any suggestion from him
to the Governor OF that State, Mr.. Romero
thought. would have much weight. as to
the question as to whether the fight would
take place on Mexican soil, Mr.. Romero
had no opinion to express.
Attorney-General Harmon says there is
no probability that the Corbett- Fitzina-
mons fight will occur in Indian Tern.

tempt be made, troops, if necessary, would
be called out to preserve order.

ON THE CHOCTAW NATION,

SCENE SELECTED FOR THE MILL
Governor Culberson Of Texas
Signed the Bill Making Prize
Fighting a Felony.

PARIS, TEX, Oct. 3.-Since the special
session of the Texas Legislature enacted
law prohibiting the Corbett- Fitzsimmons
fight from being pulled OF in the State the
management OF the Florida Athletic Club
has been forced to look elsewhere for
base of operations, in so far as the fight it
self is concerned.
Developments to-day show decidedly
that the club has lost no valuable time
and tonight it is safe TO predict that the
fight viii occur in the Chocts Nation of
the Indian Territory. just across the Red
River from this city.
The National Council of thu Choctaw
Nation will be convened in regular session
on Monday next, at which time it is
safe 70 predict that a bill will be intro
cuced permitting the fight in the Choctaw
Nation, and in addition it is stated to-
night upon reliable authority that petit
tons were presented to Indian legislators
from the Indians en- masse asking the
body to extend a tribal invitation to the
management of the club and asking them
to bring the fight OFF asindicated.
The promptness with which this whole
affair has been sprung smacks OF the sug-
gestions that the Florida Athletic Club
people have not been idle while the Texas
executive has been making his threats.
The spot selected is an ideal one and is
particularly easy OF access, being only six
teen miles from this city OF d, coo people
and only little over a hundred miles from
Dallas via the Santa Fe. There is no
doubt as TO the ability of Paris and Dallas
to jointly entertain the large crowd of
people nor of the Santa Fe TO furnish
ample equipment to handle the crowds.
The run can be made from Dallas in three
hours easy enough, if this plan of proceed
ure is carried out, and, as it doubtless will.
it is safe TO indicate that larger crowd

giants than was first anticipated.

Contest.

ATLANTICsCITY, y. J., Oct 3.-Harry
Wright. the 4eteran baseball player and
manager, died here shortly after O'Clock
this afternoon from catarrhal pneumonia
after a lingering illness. Harry Wright,
the grand old man OF baseball, was the
known and BY all odds the most popu-
lar man ever connected with the great
American game, and be did more than
any other to bring the game 70 its present
high standing.
Always thoroughly honest and con-
scientious in his dealings with managers
and players, he established previously
unknown standard Of uprightness among
the ball men. His death viii cause sorrow
in the hearts Of all who have ever enjoyed
his acquaintance. His close aud confident
friends, apart from the game, we're lev ana
10 them he was most lOTable companion:
He was a thoroughly domestic man ana
had teen three times married His third
wife, to whom he was but recently mar
RED, survives him, as do also seven chn'
dren by the former marriages.
Uncle Harry, as he was aneeuonateiy

eter. He was born in Sheffield, Eng, jan
uary 10, 1885, but his parents brought. him
in 1886 TO New YORK City, where he at
tended school until he was about II years

In 1857 he commenced to play baseball
with the then famous knickerbocker CLUB

afterward famous Cincinnati Baseball
Club This vas one Of the first regularly
trained professional teams ever put Oh the
diamond. The Cincinnati Reds" through
Mr. Wugat's management gained an en-
Tiable and widespread reputation. Harry
pitched for the club during the season OF
1866 and 1861, out the next three seasons
ne played in center field. The season OF
1853 was Cincinnztis banner year. During
that season the ciab travelled all over the
United States and met all the leading
clubs without losing q game. It was the
first Eastern club 10 visit California.

houses yesterday, was sent to the Gov

Governor Culberson received many con-
gratulatory kilograms from every section
to-day. and he says he feels very proud in
the way the Legislature has backed him
up in the matter. The Representatives
say that private information TO them from

to quarantine prize-fghting from Texas
soil they have done that which meets with
universal approval. The excitement being
over now, the hotel lobbies are clear. The
Legislature will adjourn sine die Monday,

purely OF local nature.
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEX, Oct s.
When asked to-day what he thought of the
passage of the prizehght law Manager
Julian said:
I'VE are sorry the law passed, but we ex-
pected it. We relied on the Dallas people,
and Stuart particularly, to pull off the
fight. We believe Corbett and Brady had
something 10 do with It's passage. Cor
belts absence from the State IS an evil
dence that he don't want 10 fight. We
don't propose to be dragged over the eoun-
try. We had place selected to fight, but
Corbett was bent on coming TO Texas,
knowing that the fight could not take
place here. Their desire to select referee
four weeks before the fight shows that
dirty work was intended. We know and
can guarantee place where the fight can
take place, and the crowd and purse will
be as large as in Dallas. and Corbett viii
have to fight. Fitzsimmons will train here
four weeks, then go to Dallas and claim
forfeit money ~
