If you have sick or nervous head ache, take Ayers Cathartdc Pills. They will cleanse the stomach, restore healthy action to the digestive organs, remove effete matter (the presence of which depresses the nerves and brain) and thus give speedy relief.
 One advantage of taking Ayers Sar- saparilla to purtfE the blood is that you need not infringh1upon your hours of labor nors deny yourself any food that agrees with you. In a word, you are not compelled to starve or loaf while taking it, These are recommenda- tions worth considering. ''~ @--e-
 A frequent cause of kidney com- plaints is long continued costiveness, by which ', the bowels grow torpid, closing the main avenue of excretaon. The kidneys. called upon for double service, quickly become diseased, for they are very delicate organs. These are conditions which, if neglected, may rapidly become fatal. There is sound sense in the old injunction, "keep the head cold, the feet warm, and the bowels open, the most i'm portant being the last And remem- Der that simply opening them is not enough; any violent purgative, even diarrhoea, will do that. What you require for health is to stimulate and strengthen the liver and kidneys in or der that the bowels may work natur- ally. To effect this, no medicine equals Ayers Cathartic Pills. They do their work painlessly, thoroughly, and quickly, and leave the intestines in an active and vitalized condition. As a safe and reliable family physic they have no equal. Every dose effective. Ayers Pills were awarded the Chi cago Worlds Fair medal and di- ploma.

River at Chippewa Falls Going
Up at the Rate of a
Foot an Hour.
Gorge Now Forty Feet High
and Presents a Terrible
Appearance.
Indications Now Are That the
Entire City Will Be In
undated.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Dec. s.-The
water is now 28 feet above low water
mark and still rising. Every place Of
business on Spring, River and lower
Bridge streets are rapidly being va.
Gated. The water is over the business
portion Of the town. One rumor to the
effect that the river would cut pas
sageway for itself through the high
banks north Of the Central railroad
bridge gave rise to great apprehension.
The rivers course is seriously OBJ
structed by the gorge, which has
reached within short distance of the
dam, and the probable turning Of the
stream upon the city seems so plausible
that every one is panic stricken.
Spring street is impossible between the
bridge and Bay streets, and the water
is climbing steadily towards the base
ment of the city hall. 1t is impossible
to see how any of the lower portion can
escape, for the coming Of the waters
seems to be as sure as it is deliberate,
and the valley may be completely in
Undated if the rise continues.
The Gorge Is Forty Feet lgh.
A busy scene continued to be enacted
in the city all day, and all sorts of
vehicles were brought into use The
Lumbermen's and First National banks
were both obliged to move, as were
nearly all the business houses. The
river presents a terrible appearance
The ice gorge is 40 feet high and is
backing water on the city at the rate of
foot per hour. Poor people are all
suffering terribly from cold.
The Wisconsin Central depot and
tracks are under water. All business
is being done over the Northwestern
line. The city is in complete darkness,
as the gas and electric light service is
shut off by the water The Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul has suspended

ley, it being utterly impossible to get a
train through The flooded country. On

tinguish the engine fires 1t looks at
this writing as though the entire city

Ex-Consul General Was Persona Non

New YORK, Dec. 3.-Ramon o. Will
Jams, ex-consul general of the United
States at Havana, has arrived at his
home in Brooklyn from trip through
England, France and Spain. He con-
sented to talk for the first time con-
cerning the circumstances of his resig-
nation from Office last year, which was
surrounded by some mystery and the
reasons for which have not before been
made public. There was talk at the
time hat Mr.. Williams and Secretary
of State Olney differed regarding the
policy of this government toward
American citizens, but General Will.
Jams declined to discuss that point. He
said that his resignation was given be-
cause his activity in the cases of Amer.
lean citizens under arrest made him
persona non grata to the Spanish gov
ernment and made his residence in
Havana unpleasant.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.-The 1O-round

Sharkey, although the latter was given
the decision on an alleged foul. The

Missed, as few if any of the audience Of

foul, if foul it was, could not be seen
from the press stand, but Referee carp

COUNTRY LAID WASTE
Weyler'S Second Tour Marked
by a Trail of Ruin and
DeSolation.
Cattle Are Killed, Cane Fields
Burned and Provisions
Destroyed.
Threat to Starve Out Maceo
Is Evidently Being Car
ried Out.

KEY WEST, Dec. g. -Weyler's threat
that he would starve Maceo out seems
likely to be carried out, as from all re-
ports from Marlel, near where Weyler
is now, the work Of destruction is being
carried out fully. The Spanish army
sweeps everything before it, killing
beeves it cannot use, burning cane
fields and small stores with their pro-
visions, and leaving wide waste of
ruin and desolation in it's wake.
People vainly implore Weyler to
leave them provisions to keep them
alive but his brutal officers refuse with
oaths and insulting words, if not
worse.
Over Three Hundred Refugees
have come into Mariel since Weyler
went out this last time, all giving the
same story of rapine, plunder and n.ur.
der. A Spanish guerilla captain named
Colazzo is accused of numbering over
100 persons in the valleys 100 miles
south of Mariel during the latter part
of November. In one instance he is
accused of confining a number Of
women and girls in church, and,
after they had been repeatedly abused
and maltreated by his men, burned the
building with them in it. Many other
outrages, all as horrible, are charged to
him and his company.

would clinch and lift Fitzsimmons
from his feet, strike in a clinch, though
the men had previously agreed not to
do so, and he was generally unfair. AS

workmanlike manner. A right half
arm jolt under the chin sent the sailors
head to one side. A left hook similarly
applied sent him over backwards. Then
came the much disputed foul. Very
few Of the immense crowd could be
convinced that Fitzsimmons had been
unfair, and it is almost certain that if
foul were committed it was uninten.
tional.
Apparently Badly Injured.
Sharkey recovered consciousness
about half an hour later. He was ap-
parently badly injured, his groin being
swollen. He says he had Fitzsimmons
going until the eighth round when the
foul occurred.
Wyatt carp, the referee, says the
foul was deliberate. Fitzsimmons, Just
before striking his left hook that appar.
entity knocked Sharkey out, hit the
sailor below the belt with his fist.
FitzsimmOns was seen at the Bald.
win hotel after the fight. He said:
Il have been robbed. / have always
fought fairly and l did not foul
Sharkey. If he was hurt, it was done
without my knowledge and was an un-
avoidable accident"

Was a Lively Fight.

1t was lively nght from the start.
Bob was even more aggressive than
Sharkey and kept his man on the move
all the time. In the very first round
FitZsimmons saw an opening and a
right swing on the jaw sent Sharkey to
the floor. That made the sailor bit
cautious and during the next four
rounds he tried to keep out of reach. In
the fourth Sharkey pushed Fitzsim-
mons over onto the floor, and, before
Bob could get up, made couple of
vicious passes at him. Fitzsimmons
cleverly clinched and avoided damage,
but it was clear case of foul on Shar-
keys part No claim was made, how.
ever. and the fight went On.
In the fifth Sharkey did more mean
work, grabbing Fitzsimmons around
the legs and trying to throw him.
Fitzsimmons began to warm up and
went after the sturdy sailor like a
cyclone A poke on the nose and a
Left Swing on the jaw
sent Sharkey down. He rolled under
the ropes and would have gone off the
platform had not Bob courteously
hauled him back. 1t looked as if Tom
was done for, but the gong sounded
and he was given minute in which to
recuperate.
In the sixth Sharkey made pretense
of fighting, leading for Bob's wind. He
missed connections every time, how
ever, while Fitzsimmons would land
his left ON the jaw. When the round
closed Sharkey was decidedly groggy,
but was on his feet.
When the seventh round opened
Fitzsimmons tried to end matters. He
swung his right repeatedly for the jaw,
but in some manner Sharkey escaped.
The left jabs always connected, though,
and Tom was
Decidedly on the Wane.
Bob himself was none too strong and
seemed to be a bit tired when the
round closed. Then came the disas-
trous eighth. FitZsimmons went at
his man with a will and fairly smoth-
cred him with lefts and rights. First
it would be the mouth that suffered,
then the nose and later the eye. Fitz-
simmons was working like demon.
HIS long arms shot out with amazing
rapidity and Toms head bobbed back
and forth in response Then Fitzslm.
