MANYWERE DISAPPOINTED
Topeka Druggists Could Not Supply

Topeka Druggists Could Not Supply
The Demand Saturday Evening
A large number of people wondered
why they could not secure Gavitt's
Cough Balsam from some of the drug
gists Saturday evening when they called
for it. The fact is, the company could
not deliver the medicine as fast as the
druggists were selling il, the
sale being much larger on
their balsam last week than was antici-
pated. Only 1000 bottles were expected
to be sold at their special sale last week,
but 1t ran to over 5000 bottles. One
druggist sold four dozen in less than
half an hour Never was there such a
demand for any medicine. The drug
gists all had a good supply at 4 D. N.
Saturday, and before closing at least one
half the druggists were entirely out. The
demand continued so strong on Sunday
that large number of druggists had to
telephone for an immediate supply and
Il was delivered to them on that day.
The company also made heavy sales in
other cities during the same week. MIR.
Gavitt informed reporter that they have
authorized the druggists TO sell our large
6Gc bottle of Cough Balsam at 25c, for
this week only. The price will be soc
per bottle next week, the same that they
are selling it at in other cities. This
company is doing a remarkable business
with their remedies. Their Cough Bal
sam is giving satisfaction in every case.
Some OF the most prominent people in
city are receiving great benefits from
this Balsam.

Local sporting men are looking for
ward to the wrestling match between
Jack King and Woods of Texas, which
takes place at Hamilton hall tomorrow
night with considerable eagerness, as the
men are much more evenly matched in
weight and size than were King ard Gill
more, who met in Topeka last month.
In fact there is practically no differ
ence in the weight of King and the man
from the Lone Star state, each weighing
in the neighborhood of 200 pounds. but
Woods is said to be in much better con-
dition than the Topeka man.
Jack King said today: while do not
feel positive of throwing Woods, think
l stand good show to do SO. or l would
not have made the match"
Besides the King Woods match there
will be several boxing bouts tomorrow
night, and an effort is being made to
have two local light weight wrestlers test
their skill on the mat.
Jack King will undoubtedly have the
sympathy of the crowd with him this
time, and if he did not when he met Gill
more it was more owing to the big ad-
vantage he had over the New Yorker in
weight than from any other reason.

who went over it in company with Titus.
The latter admits that he did make q
proposition to Murphy to help him out
in allowing Cabanne to win the race at
St. Louis, but in extenustion says his
only motive in making the suggestion
was a desire to see Cabanne win a race
in ST. Louis before his own personal
friends.
Titus claims that that is where the
whole thing ended; in fact, the converse
ton went no further and the race was
never fixed, as the result proved.
Upon hearing this Mr. Spalding advis-
ed Titus to throw himself on the mercy
of the Racing board, and if possible
have personal talk with the members
of the Racing board, SO that matter not
understood could be explained. To this
Titus assented, and will go in person be-
fore the Racing board two days prior to
