THEIR GREATEST BATTLE.
Such 1t is Said viii be the Meeting of
Barry and Leon.


The Chicago papers are devoting
considerable space to the coming fight
at Davenport between Barry and
Leon. The Chronicle of today says:
Jack Leonard, manager of the
Tri-City Athletic club, of Davenport,
has completed all arrangements
for the Barry-Leon 20-round contest
scheduled to take place Dec. 90. Both
of the boys are already in excellent
shape, and training vigorously for
what win probably be the greatest
battle of their lives. Barry is doing
his work among his old comrades at
McGurn's court, while Leon is put
ting on the finishing touches at Mo-
line.
For the accommodation of Chica-
goans wishing to attend the contest a
special train will leave Chicago Dec.
29 at 12:S1 p. M, arriving i'll Daven-
port at $50. The special will leave
Davenport Immediately after the con-
test, arriving in Chicago at O'Clock
the following morning.
People out in Iowa, it is said, are
fearing that the bout is going to be a
fake. Their fears are absurd. Fol-
lowers of the game know that Jack
Leonard is above reproach and that
Barry could not be induced to fake 4
fight, even with his own brother"

HAD TROUBLES OF HIS OWN.
4 wife's FruitIess Effort to Get Her
Drunken Husband Home.

Drunken HUSBAND nome.
An incident that bears out the
truth of the old saying thai ''one-half
of the world does not know ".w the
other half lives" was enacted the
other night in front of saloon on
one of the city's busy thoroughfares.
A woman, comparatively young,
fa.r-faced and poorly clad, was appeal
ing to her husband, who had appar-
emily consumed just enough drinka-
bles to feel happy and coutented with
himself, and using all the convincing
powers of dutiful and devoted wife
to induce him to accompany her home.
You know you have not been
home since yesterday morning, leav-
ing me alone without cent in the
house - she said, as she used the end
of her shawl to wipe a tear away from
her eye.
That's perfectly proper-I'm all
right" replied the husband, twist
ing his face into one of those tired
feeling smiles. "It's none of your
business when l stay away. L am
busy, and don't bother me-"
But you know
Il have troubles of my own. Don't
bother me-" and he gave the wife Il
push. and returned to the barroom.
She breathed deep sigh, pondered
a moment, moved toward the saloon
door as if she intended making an
other effort, then stopped again.
God help, me- she said, and she
tucked the shawl around her head,
and started away.

A POPULAR MISTAKE.
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion.

Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion.
The national disease of Americans
is indigestion or in its chronic form,
dyspepsia, and for the very reason that
it is so common MANY people neglect
taking proper treatment for what they
consider trifling stomach trouble, when
rs 4 matter of fact, indigestion lays
the foundation for many incurable
diseases. No person with vigorous.
healthy stomach will fall victim to
consumption. Many kidney diseases
and heart troubles date their begin
ming from poor digestion; thin. ner-
vous people are really so because their
stomachs are out of gear: weary,
languid. faded out women owe their
condition to imperfect indigestion.
When nearly every person YOU meet
is afflicted with weak digestion it is
not surprising that nearly every Sc
cret patent medicine on the market
claims TO be cure for dyspepsia, as
well as a score of other troubles. when
in fact. as DR.. Werthier says, there is
but one genuine dyspepsia cure which
is perfectly safe and reliable, and
moreo er. this remedy is not patent
medicine, but it is a scientific com BIZ

Highway Drainage.

There is one fault frequently com.
mitted in the use of the road machineI
here is an insufficient escape allowed
Tor water. Those who operate the
machines object to being bothered by
bars, or the so-called ''thank you,
narms." So these are not being put
n their places as they should be.
If there is a short sag to be filed,
It can probably be done from material
1t the sides by using drag scrapers,
then dress up with a road machine, or
i the soil is stiff clay or muck, haul
IN gravel, rock, shale or sand, if they
ire available. If not, the embank.
nent should be raised to an extra
height to give quick drainage.
The worst feature in the working OF
The roads is that they are made the
cutters of the county.
The ditch on the upper side of the
,oad gathers all the water from the
ields above the road and carry it to
Ihe foot of the hill; the ditch on the
over side gathers all the water COM
ing from the road, and between the
Two our road systems are being washed
but.
Drainage can and should be provi-
led to get the water outside of the
load limits at short intervals. Water
Is poor road material. Keep it from
getting on the roads where possible.

Salt In Excess.

The use of salt as condiment is so
general and so universally believed in
as necessary that we rarely hear a
word against its excessive use, but
there are multitude of persons who
eat far too much salt-eat it on every.
thing, on meat, fish, potatoes, melons,
in butter, on tomatoes, turnips and
squash, in bread and on host of foods
too numerous to mention. To SO
great an extent is it used that no food
is relished which has not salty taste,
and this hides more or less the real
taste, which is often very delicate.
Now, the amount of salt required in
the system is comparatively small, and
if the diet has been rightly com.
pounded very little is necessary.
Some go SO far as to discard its use
altogether, but whether this is wise OF
not we Wilt not here consider. What
are some of the evils Of the excessive
use of salt? They are to paralyze
the nerves of the taste or to perveri
them SO they cannot enjoy anything
which has not salty flavor, and in
addition there is direct tax on both
the skin and the kidneys in removing
it from the blood. Whether the skin
is harmed by this tax we do not know.
Possibly it is not greatly injured, yet
we know that few people possess a
healthy skin, but it is now pretty well
settled that an excessive use OF salt
does overtax the kidneys in its re.
moval, and that the great number OF
cases of arrangement and disease Of
these organs is due to this use. II
takes only little time to learn to
enjoy many kinds of food without salt
and we advise our readers and others
to look into this matter and to try and
diminish the use of this condiment al
far as possible. We believe they will
be better for it.-Journal of Hygiene

THE kLONDiKE.

Wrapped in robe Of everlasting snow,
Where icy blasts eternal revel hold,
Where gaunt pines SILVER In the piercing
Where mellow summer noontides never
glow,
And sleety crags no spring-time ever
know
Thus. like miser, in his freezing fold,
The Arctic King has gathered heaps of gold
To lead deluded wanderers unto woe.
So In his radiant diamond palace there,
Amid white splendors Of his thousand
thrones,
Where keen auroras glitter, blaze, and glare,
And like Wandering Jew the wild wind
BE smiles at wretches in their last despair.
Who dig for gold among their comrades
bones.
About my home 1 see the spring-time
bloom,
The sheaves of summer or the autumn
fruit;
To make me glad, the robin lends its Lutte.
The lilies blossom, lilacs breathe perfume,
The red leaves futter, golden asters loom
Around me; tones of loved ones, never
mute,
through June-time gladness or December
The daffodils their golden treasures pour
BY lapfuls 10 my children as they play;
The vines, with clustered rubies at my door
GLADDEN. my good wife through the live
long day;
So in this humble nest, my wealth is more
Than all the gold and silver dug from clay
