Fisher, 1861 Lexington Ave, New York,

physician or purchasing medicine. In
the spring of 1897 my husband induced
me to try DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-

lowing your advice was so encouraged
that / took five more bottles, and Their
stopped for several weeks as / felt so
much better, but still I was not COM

HE is STILL CHAMPION.
James ]. Jeffries Defends His
Title Once More.
CORBETT is KNOCKED OUT.
End Genes Just Before the Close of
Twenty Third Round.
FAST WORK FROM THE STAR

New York, NAY I1.-Jim Jeffries is
still the heavyweight champion pugi-
list of the world He defeated Jim
Corbett in the twentv-third round of
their fight with decisive knockout.
The finishing blow came as a sudden
and startling surprise. COrbett had
been making wonderful battle. His
defense was absolutely perfect and
while he was lacking in strength he
had more than held his own and
stood an excellent chance OF winning
the fight had it gone the limit. He
had not been badly punished and
managed to mark his man severely.
The winning punch was a short left
Jolt to the Jaw COrbett dropped like
a weight and was clear out. Jeffries
showed his ability to take punching
at any distance, and hard. He was
clearly outboxed and at times made
to look like a novice The crowd,
which numbered full " 5000 was with
Corbett and his defeat fell upon a
silent crowd. There were cheers given
for him when he revived and left the
ring, and was generally shown more
consideration than the victor
Corbett is still factor in the pugi-
listic game. He has regained much
OF his old time form. the battle was
clean and it is doubtful if there was a
single infraction of the rules. The
crowd was most orderly.

whatever may he thought to be for
the best, having but one end in view
and that the success OF the ticket to
be nomiua ted at Kansas City If it
is the opinion of the Kansas City con-
vention that it would be unwise to
nominate him. | am confident he
would accept that verdict according
ly. | have a high opinion of Mr..
Towne in every way. but at this time
| do not care to express an opinion
as to what the Kansas City conven-
ton should do with reference to

ident. That is something which
ought to be thought out carefully
and deliberately after a full compar-
ison of the views OF leading men from

The election OF senator's by the

trusts is the cOnsummation fervently
to be prayed for and manfully to be
