FAMOUS FOR HALF A CENTURY

Those who suffer from stomach. blood, kidney or nervious troubles should bear in mind an important fact about Dr. Har- ter's Iron Tonic; that is that this remedy has been largely used for forty-five years. Once in a while some absolutely perfect compound is discovered This is one of them, and affords ample proof of the learning and wisdom of Dr. Harter. True modern methods of preparing 1t are used, it is now made in one of the finest laboratories in the world, but in all essentials 1t is precisely the same as when first made by Dr. Harter nearly a half century ago. How many other remedies have grown in favor, or even survived, for that length of time?
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic is a wonderful medicine. It is more than tonic; it is a blood maker and life renewer. It stim- ulates the repair of the body and 1t sup plies something to repair with.
 All building or healing of the body de- bends on an abundance of blood that is rich in iron. Nowhere, except in Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic, can you get the pe- culiar form of iron that Is all ready to become part of you as soon as 1t Is taken.
 If you are not well and have not been well for some time. try this remedy. First will come better appetite, then bet ter digestion, then better color and fin- ally increased activity of all the vital or gans and new and wonderful sense of vigor and strength.

GENERAL WALLACE
 NAMES CONDITIONS
WILL NOT JOIN ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE UNLESS A cOMMIS- SION INVESTIGATES HIS MARCH FROM cRUMP's LANDING.

Indianapolis. November 13.-The chief incident in the meeting of the Army of the Tennessee which opened here today at the club room of the Dennison Hotel was the reading of letter sent by Gen eral Lew Wallace of Charlottesville. The letter was read by General Hickenlooper, corresponding secretary ot the society and was an acknowledgment of the courtesy and kindness of the society In inviting General Wallace to become a member.
 General Wallace set out that he had been member of the society and had severed his membership after the first three or four meetings for the reason many who were unfriendly to him be- cause of the discussion which grew out of the battle of Shiloh. General Wallace said he would become a member if the society would do him justice by appoint ing commission to review and report upon his conduct on the occasion of his march from Crump's Landing to Pitts burg Landing. He offered to pay all ex- penses connected with the investigation. General Hickenlooper said that the so- ciety had never in any shape or form voiced the charges of which General Wallace complained. Judge Tuthill of Chicago said the society should be glad to receive from General Wallace and place on the record anything he might write concerning the battle of Shiloh. Major Muhlenburg said he was opposed to anything more than the mere courtesy that had already been extended to Gen eral Wallace of coming and joining in the reunion. General Wallace, he said, had made a grievous mistake in making con ditions upon which he would join the meetings.
 Judge Tuthill withdrew his suggestion and General Russell A. AIger suggested that the letter be acknowledged in a kindly manner and that the letter itself be not published in the official record "I think" said President Dodge, i've will have to publish the letter."
 No further action was taken
 Recording Secretary Cadle and Treasurer VanDyke submitted their reports. On motion of General George F. McGinnis the president was directed to appoint a commission of three women members of the society to prepare a memorial ad- dress on the life and services of Mother Bickersdyke.

 May End Fight
HARRY CoRBETT REFEREE

San Francisco, November 1s.-while in- terest grows in Fridays big fight the odds are still 10 to 4, and there is not even the color of Ruhlin money to be seen
 The champion and the Akron giant sat on thrones today at their respective quarters, the cynosure of admiring was all Ruhlin, and at Jeffries' 1t was all for the Los Angeles man.
 Both of the men have practically ended their preparation for the contest. A slight touch here and there was all that they gave them selves today in the way of finishing off their work. Tomorrow morning a short ramble will be the last they will take and Friday will see them fin the hands of their trainers and rub bers. keying up the tension on every muscle of their big bodies.
 Harry Corbett, who will act as referee, said tonight that the public could be as- sured that no 'iuking would be per mitted in the slightest degree.
 The Referee Talks.
 There is to be no hugging in ciinches." was the way he expressed himself. "The people who patronize boxing have grown tired of these disgusting exhibitions of hanging on and 1t Is about time an end was put to 1t. Of course referee can't prevent the fighters from coming to- gether in a clinch. but l want 1t under stood from the beginning that when I give the word, l want Jeffries and Ruhlin to break. The man who hangs on after that will be watched. and if he tries to save his strength In this manner with a full understanding of the warning he has had, let him and his packers abide by the decision
 Jeffries was asked today for an esti- mate of the length of the fight.
 well" he said, T know that Ruhlin has not been standing still since I met him last. He has improved very much and I have an idea that he will bore in from the jump. Maybe I'll stop him in the first round; maybe in the second; but, really don't think 1t will last lon- ger than ffteen."
 Ruhlin Feels Strong.
 The same question was put to Ruhiin.
 'I feel strong he answered. "As well as I ever did In my life. I feel as though can fight and fight hard; but it's the DeSl iIldH lIldt WlIlb anu HOW can one tell now but what Jeffries Is the best man? Of course, I don't think so, but would not want to say that the fight would go five or ten rounds, nor do l say that can polish him off ih one-though I may prove my ability to do so.'
 Billy Delaney, acting for Jeffries has made arrangements with the San Fran cisco Club to bring about meeting be- tween him and Sharkey on December 20 in the event of Jeffries beating Ruhlin. Sharkey is expected to arrive Friday morning, and If the outcome of the big fight is favorable to the proposition he will go in training immediately.
