The Missouri Tigers Like the Work
of the Kansas Coach.

Kansas City, Dec 4-The crushine
defeat and the financial Windfall, both
of which the Missouri State university
football eleven received on ThanksgiY-
ing day, will without a. doubt have a
lasting effect for good on athletics at
Columbia,
Indeed, the twofold result has al
ready made itself felt. 1t has started
the powers that be at the Missouri un-
lversity to thinking along the right
line.
All expressed themselves as heartily
in favor of anything that would help
football at Columbia, and promised the
solcltOuS graduates that they would
put forth their best efforts toward es-
tabiShing a training table at the uni
Versity next season. They also Signi-
fled their intention of trying to eTtga ge
a coach for 1900 who has proved his
ability by past successes.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that Prof. RuthWelI had several
long and earnest talks with Coach Yost
of the victorious Kansas team before
the teams left for Columbia and Law
renee respectively on Friday morning.
When asked if Missouri was negOti-
ating with him for next year the K. U.
coach admitted that something to that
effect was in the air. If the Columbia
management should secure YOsts SER
vices it would do wonders toward re-
viving athletics at the Missouri college
town. 1t would also mean that NJ. S.
U. would have a team in 1900 that
would give a gOSd account of itself.
Yost said after Thursdays game that
there was enough material among the
Tigers to make a great football team if
properly coached, and he was not alone
in this opinion, many of the experts
who saw the contest agreeing with him.
It was this remark probably that sug-
gested to the Missouri management the
idea of engaging YOst for next year.
Yost's success with the Nebraskans in
'9S and again with the Jayhawkers in
'99 is conclusive proof that if he is Civ
en- the material he viii do the rest and
his advent at Columbia next season
would probably mean d winning team
for Missouri.

Sullivan After Championship.


New York, Dec. 4-Spike Sullivan is
ambitious to become the lightweight
champion of the world. To this end he
has deposited 1000 with AL Smith to
meet the winner of the Erne- o. Brien
fight. Sullivan, who appears to be in
fight. Sullivan, who appears to be in fine
form, names the following conditions
on which his forfeit is to be covered:
The contest is to be one of not less
than twenty-five rounds, according to
Marquis of Queensberry rules weight
to be 133 pounds; the time of weighing
in to be settled when articles are sign
ed; the battle to be fought for a side
wager for all or part of $4,000; the best
inducement is to be accepted within
six weeks after the challenge has been
taken up, and the battle to come off not
earlier than three weeks or no longer
than three months from date of sign
ing the papers. Spike further says that
he will agree to a referee as soon as his
offer is accented.

Quarrels With Manager Julian and
They Part Company.

Chicago, Dec. 4-Ex- Champion Rob-

ager, Martin Julian, have parted COM
pany. This resulted after a bitter quar-
rel in the pugilist's room at the Sher-
man house last night, in which fists
were freely swung and revolver dis
played.
F'itzsimmons left for New York city
today, vowing he was done with Julian
for good. The disagreement comes af-
ter a series of Observation-Disclosures.
According to the stories of both men,
it grew out of Fitzsimmons' inability
to obtain a box at the Lyric theater
during a crowded period. Julian is in
terested in the Lyric. The pugilfst, it
is said, made certain remarks of an un-
complimentary nature concerning the
Lyric and Julian took him to task for
it. After a little talk Julian slapped the
big fellow in the face, and the fighter
swung on his managers eye, skinning
it slightly and raising slight lump.

Common soda is all right in its place

HEART DISEASE.

TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, but Look For
the Cause.

Heart troubles. at least among Aneri-
cans, are certainly increasing, and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life. it
is more often the result of weak stomachs
of poor digestion.
Real organic heart disease is incurable;
but not one case in a hundred Of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart troub-
le and poor digestion is because both or
gans are controlled by branches of the
same great nerves, the Sympathetic Pne-
umOgastric.
In another way also the heart is affect

STANDARD VARIETIES.
why Farmers Should Select Their
Poultry from Breeds known
to BE Satisfa~"7-~~.

L. f. McGrav, in the Reliable Poultry
Journal, sounds the note of alarm by
asking this pertinent question: will
we ever perfect few good varieties, or
will we continue to drift into new
This is, indeed, serious question and
one of vital Importance to practical
poultry breeders everywhere, COM
ments the Southwestern Farmer. The
question plainly stated is, will we re-
tain the practical features of poultry
culture or drift into exclusive fancy?
In the past decade there have been
many new varieties introduced, and
among them all there are none with
more good qualities, or that have
proven more profitable to the practical
breeders than those we had before. If
all the effort and money spent booming
new breeds had been directed toward
the improvement of the old varieties 1t
might not be necessary now for breed
ers to want to remove color and other
disqualifications from the standard.
They practically admit they cannot
breed them true and want authority to
conform the standard to their flock.
1t is true that many who are merely
''fanciers'' have made money from new
varieties, but there are none who have
succeeded in bringing more desirable
points than existed in the old breeds.
Brown Leghorns are superior in every
way to the buff, but there has been
thousands invested in this variety, and
[ may add, there are hundreds of disap-
pointed breeders, also. The same may
Ge said of nearly any of the new ones.
Farmers, especially, will find it to
their interest to make their selection of
breeds from the old standard varieties
and thus avoid the trouble that will
surely follow in attempting to breed
anv of the new additions to anywhere
near the standard requirements.
Let us perfect a few varieties first,
increase their laying qualities and
size, and greater profits will be realized
than from any other course.
We are now neglecting breeds which
have merit and looking for something
new and of uncertain value, from a
practical standpoint.
