Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been a
sufferer from scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
Of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant Treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, l be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely goa>, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
l would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $I5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

FROM THE WORLD OF SPORT
THE SIX-DAY BIKE RACE CON
TINUES A VERY EXCITING
ONE.
The LEADERS IRE MI IN 4 BUNCH
Waller Still Leads With Maddox Two
Laps Behind-Houston Football Team
Beat the Galveston Eleven-Other
Sporting Items

Washington, Jan. 1.-The fifth day oil
the international six-day, eight hours per
day, bicycle race was attended by larger
audience than on any previous day.
There was some very fine riding during
the day; but one more day yet remains
in which to race and the contestants
strained every muscle to increase their
distances. There was no change in the
relative position of the men tonight at
the close. Waller and Maddox, the lead
ers, are closely watching each other and
the latter seems unusually confident OF
overcoming the two laps which Waller
has to the good. The leaders went APP
proximately 14S miles today, n greater
distance than has been accomplished dur
ing any day of the contest. The score at
close of the contest tonight was as fol-
lows:
Waller. $50 miles. II laps: Maddox. $50
miles, laps; Ashinger, $50 miles, laps;
Hunter. 72S miles, 8 laps; Lawson, rs
miles, q laps; Foster. 721 miles, | lap.
Eddie Bald rode half mile tonight III
1:04, breaking his record of LOG.
Tom Linton rode twenty-three mics
and 1850 yards on a twelve-lap track,
unpaced, in one hour. This is within
three-fourths of one lap of twenty.four
miles. The best previous record indoors
was twcnty-threc miles and two laps ON
Il ten-lap track.

4 RED HOT FIGHT.
Toughs Attack Police Officers Who Were
Doing Their Duty.

Gand Rapids. Mich. Jan. 1.-Two po-
liccmcn were pounded nearly to death
by crowd of toughs, and two of their
ASSISTANTS were shot. The trouble was
the result of Il crusade which the police
have been waging against the saloon
keepers who have been violating the law.
Today Patromen Niergiver and llarring-
ton found the saloon of Sommcrs N
Treadwcll doing thriving back door
business. AS the officers entered the air
was suddenly filled with clubs. bottles and
glasses. Officer Niergiver was struck
over the head and fellcd with n heavy
hickory club. He was drawing his re-
volver as he fell. and he pulled the trig-
ger. Several shots were fired from the
crowd and Harrington managed to get his
revolver out and pulled on Treadweil,
who was pounding him over the head
with n beer bottle. The next moment
Harrington went to the floor. A great
crowd had gathered in front of the sa'
loon and the excitement was intense. An
officer outside guarded the door and sent
for the patrol wagon. A squad of eight
policemen responded with orders to arrest
every one in the place. but most of the
crowd managed to slip away. Officer
Viergiyer had an arm broken in two
places. finger broken. his nose dislo

SMITuNILLE ITENIS.

Smithyillc, Tex, Dec. 30-Mr. Rodgcr
Burns will begin n two-story brick build
ing in few days on the southeast corner
of block AZ, Main street.
Christmas in Smithville has been very
quietly but pleasantly spent Many of
the young ladies' of the town went else
where to spend the holidays, while n
great many visitors came in to make up
the deficit.
There was an Eat home" Mt the resi-
dcnoe of Mr.. Tally last evening, which
was quite success.
There have been several shows here
during the week which were largely at
tended as the Smithville people are al
ways ready TO recognize histrionic talent
wherever II be found.
Mr.. $. l.. Staples spent several days
in Hilsboro during Christmas, chiefly on
law business-I don't think.
The ball given under the auspices OF
the Magnolia cub on December %, was
indeed success. Many of the Bastrop
ladies were present and added no little
TO the occasion, MS they have many
charming society ladies there who de-
light to trip the fantastic and who never
fail TO make such occasions enjoyable.
Mr.. Guidcr Jones and DR.. Powell went
to EIgin Tuesday for days hunting.
The accustomed New Years calls will
be observed this year and many have
already begun anticipating the joy at
meeting their many friends on that time
honored occasion which we all delight to
welcome.
There is considerable improvement
going on in Smithvillc; several houses
in course of erection, sidewalks being
built, and, in fact general era of pros
perity and enterprise seems 10 have
seized our thriving little town. In the
near future we hope to have electric
lights; but for an accident they would
he under construction ut this time. The
accident, however, will only delay few
days.
