sHARKEY FOUGHT FOUL.
Dr. Farrell Says the Sailors Ac-
tions Were Those of a Coward.

Added to the preponderance of evidence
that Fitzsimmons did not foul Sharkey,
says the San Francisco Call, Is the fact
vouched for by medical men, acrohats, bi-
cyclists, wrestlets and other athletes that
Sharkeys present ph hysical condition is very
common among athletes following over
eXertion. 1t is more frequent among per-
sons subject to varicose veins than those
who are net afflicted with this tendency,
and it is now known that Sharkey is suffer
ing with varicose veins in his legs, caused
by the eXcrtion OF the fight.
DIR. T. ]. Il. Farrell, -eputable physi-
clan, who was present at Une fight, gives
strong testimony in favor of FitZsmmons.
DIR. Farrell is lover OF honest sports and
has seen many contests of skill and en-
durance between men, and his opinion is
worth more than that of a score OF men
who have not had his experience. The
doctor said to a reporter that he went To
the fight with all his sympathes on the
side OF Sharkey, but that he became dis
gusted with his foul tactics before the end
OF the second round.
He believed Sharkey 10 be the worst
kind of a coward. Every time that Shar-
key was hit he lost his temper and seemed
TO desire his revenge in any way he
could get it. He seemed to be indifferent
as TO the kind OF revenge he tok, added
the doctor. He fouled Fitzsimmons in a
low, brutal way more than a dozen times.
Then the speaker added:
Il am reliably Informed that Sharkey
has been suffering from varicose veins
condition that would make him very sus-
ceptible to any strain or overexeruon
Never have ! seen a man struck below the
belt fail in the manner in which Sharkey
fell. Had Fitzsmmons struck him in the
region where the swelling is now Sharkey
would have been black aud blue for weeks
afterward, but the discolOration is very
slight"
Ii is a fact which will be vouched for by
medical men that a swelling such as Shar-
key exhibits could be caused by a hypo-
dermic injection Of iodide of potassium
or other poisonous substance. But il would
not lie necessary to resort to this operation
in the case of "a man suffering from vari-
cose veins.

WHY LADIES LIKE COFFEE
Though Many Admit 1t Hurts Them.

Many ladies have SO great liking for
coffee for breakfast that the meal seems
flat and unsavory without it; but the
muddy complexion which is almost a sure
accompaniment, is great trial and the
question is seriously discussed many and
many times over in ones mind, W neither it
is possible to give over the coffee and
gradually get back the lost compile xion, or
keep on with the coffee and get on with
the bad skin and make the best of it.
The disortlered stomach and liver some
times bring on more serious troubles. To
quit the use OF coffee is the only true re-
lief: it contains the same poisonous aka
lods as tobacco, strychnine and morphine,
although less in volume. One can use the
delicious bot food-drink, Postum Cereal, at
meals and never miss the coffee. 1t browns
the deep sealbrown OF Mocha and takes on
the rich golden-brown OF old Java when
cream is added. 1t is made by the ostum
Cereal Co. Lim., OF Battle Creek, Mich
igan, purely and wholly of the nourishing
grains intended by the Creator for mans
subsistence. The pungent taste SO well
liked in strong coffee is retained in Postum
Nature quickly RECEIVERS when coffee is
left off and the natural health coffee is
used In Its place. Healthful sleep is
again enjoyed and nerves, stomach, liver,
bowels and heart cease their complaining
when the disturbing cause is withdrawn.
These are great big live facts worth the
attention of any one who cares for the
exquisite fun of being perfectly we'll

YaQuina Notes.

Are we going to have our winter
done up III one package? 1t surely
looks that way.
News seems to be rather scarce

ciable. We had mush galore, milk
galorus and games galorum (excuse
my Latin, but English words are
inadequate to express my ideas on

above for ten cents, that was the
admission fee, and there was also a

Jack Franz has secured an in
crease IN his pension from Sc to IS

fering from a disability sufficiently
serious to entitle him to a pension
of three times the amount he is re-
ceiving, at the least. We would
like to see Jack, and every other
old soldier receive a pension COM
mensurate with their disability.

Scott County Politics

1t is doubtful if there is a county
in the state where ring rule does not
exist to more or less eXtent-and
Scott county is no exception to the
rule. We have men in this county
who would consider it an insult to
question their title to Office and the
government of county affairs.
BY governing the county for many
years strictly for what there was in
it, they have become able to expeud
large sums of money in order to de.
ceive the people by first one misrep.
resentation and then another, and
our politics has become so corrupted
that decent people have little heart
to take All active part.
The old ring, which was almost
completely wiped out by the people
two years ago, is again asserting it.
self, and money, whiskey and religion
are being used whenever applicable
In whatever section ring candidate
is weak, there some man is deceived
or bribed into announcing himself fol
the same office sought by the ring
candidate, for the sole purpose ot
carrying the anti-ring vote of tina,
township, and thereby off-setting the
will of the majority.
However, the NEwsBoY has NJ
reason to feel alarmed. We have
much confidence in the honesty aud
intelligence of our people, and We
have put the conditions of public
affairs in Scott county before them
so plainly that they ought to be able
to vote intelligently.
