Jefries and Ruhlin are Enjoined from
Fighting I'm Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, Feb. 15.-There will he
no contest between JeffrieS and Ruh-
lin or any one else in the Saengerfest
hall in this city tonight and no other
date has been fixed for the contest
Neither will there be any mobiliza-
tion of troops in this city to keep JEFF
fries and Ruhlin from meeting. The
permanent injunction issued Thurs
day by Judge hollister against the
proposed championship contest has
caused the indefinite postponement
of the arrangements of the state and
county authorities, as well as the
promoters of the contest.
Judge Hollister sustained the state
ON all points at issue. He not only
held that courts of equity have iuris-
diction against a public nuisance, but
also that prize fights are public nuis-
ances and that the proposed contest
between Jeffries and Rubin was to
be prize fight for the championship
of the world and not a boxing match
for points. The decision was severe
in language as well as decisive in its
holding. 1t held the proposed event
to be a public nuisance, a moral
wrong, crime before the law and
such menace to society as should
be restrained even in courts of
euuity

A TIN CAN TRUST.
A Chicago Report Says that los Fac
tories are be Brought Under One
Mana0emenI.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-The Record says:
The newest thing in consolidation is
the tin can combine which is now
being formed with a capital stock of
S10,000,000. The promoter is W. II.
Moore, who has managed many sim
liar enterprises. 1t is alleged an
agreement has been signed with the
understanding that after April l the
American Tin Can Co. will control
the output of every factory in fhe
country. At present there are 108
tin can factories in this country.
There are 50 small factories which
will be closed. This will throw near
ly 1000 people out of employment
and means loss of nearly $1,000 a
day to the discharged employees. The
reasons given fer the formation of
the big corporation is that for some
time the prices of the product of the
tin can factories have been going
down, until now it is claimed there is
sea fcely any profit and, considering
fire luent bad accounts which cannot
be collected, the position has become
ST N that the large owners of this
k id of property must organize to
p otect themselves.

Country Rankers Organize.

Chicago, Feb, 15,-over 30 bankers
from Michigan, Indiana and Wiscon-
sin met here Thursday and took the
preliminary steps toward forming an
association of country bankers. The
aggregate capital represented is be-
tween $4,000, 900 and S75 900, 900. The
primary object, it is said, is to enable
bankers in the smaller towns, by a
cooperative system, to control enter
prises, or furnish the loans for them
in their home towns. The system
will be similar to the one operated
by the Canadian branch banks.

MOST people think that catarrh is a
M disease confined to the head and nose.
IVA Nothing is farther from the truth. 1t
may be that the nose and throat is the oft
enest affected by catarrh, but if this is so it is
so only because these parts are more eX-
posed to the vicissitudes of the climate than
the other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity OF
the human body is liable to catarrh. A mul-
titude of ailments depend on catarrh. This
is true winter and summer. Catarrh causes
many eases of chronic disease, where the
victim has not the slightest suspicion that
catarrh has anything TO do with it.
