ALCOHOL AND ATHLETICS.

If there is any one principle which is we'll under
stood in athletics it is that no man in training for
athletic work should drink. We once heard a
trainer say that If one of his men drank a glass of
beer twelve hours before the training time he could
tell the difference in his work. This trainer did
not object to drinking from a moral standpoint but
he would not have a man on his team who drank
during the training and contest season. What is
true of athletics is true of base ball. There are a
good many men who do not drink who cannot play
base ball, or succeed in athletics, but no man who
drinks is in as good shape for a game as he would
have been had he been careful in his diet. AS a
general principle it is none of the public's business
what a man eats or drinks so long as he keeps
within the law and does not make a nuisance of
himself. That alcohol and athletics do not mix is
recognized in every department of athletics from
prize-fghting to college sports. The best athletes
in the country do not touch liquor at all and none
OF them do when in preparation for a contest.

H BEST COURSE.

We understand that a number of the temperance
people of Denison have taken up the question of
the open saloon in Denison the Fourth and intend
to bring the matter before the courts. The Review
has always been in favor of observance of the law,
and while it has remained quiescent in the face of
the implied wishes of the majority in this matter it
has always felt that if the open saloon was thought
to be a necessity the celebration should be held on
some day when the law would not be violated.
The question raised by the temperance people is
purely illegal one in which sentiment plays no part.
The saloons were open the Fourth with the implied
consent of the business men of Denison, and it
would seem to us that under the circumstances it
would be best to compromise the matter this time
with the understanding that it is not to occur again.
Next year if it is thought best to have a gala day
in Denison during which the saloons may run.
some other day should be chosen and Denison
should give a harvest festival or a street carnival.
Although no one in Denison had the power to give
protection to the saloons as against the state law
it is true that from some sources the idea was given
them that this would be done. There was less
drunkenness in Denison than there would have
been had the saloons been closed, at least that is
what experience leads us to believe. Not an ar
rest was necessary on that day, a remarkable
record tor so large a crowd, and taken IN all the
day was a very orderly one. We believe, therefore,
that it would be for the best interests of the peace
of the community and just as effective for the cause
of temperance, if a compromise were effected along
the lines suggested. Experience tells us that ii we
do not have open saloons we will have holes-in-
the-wal and the whisky drug store. These are
evils from which Denison is now free and they are,
much worse than the open saloon. Do not let us
jump from the frying pan into the fire. We believe
the present opportunity a good one for the tenn
perance and order-loving people of Denison to in
sist that the law be strictly complied with in the
future and that any saloon guilty of law violation
hereafter shall be closed. The majority of our sa-
looms do this, with the single exception of the vio-
lation on last Thursday, but by acting with wisdom
now the temperance people can create, not a spirit
Of opposition, put a healthy sentiment against law
violation. We do not want a war against the sa-
loon in this place and at this time for the simple
reason that we believe it will lead only to present
bitterness and ill-feeling and that the final outcome
will be something infinitely worse, the hole-in-the-
wall and the whisky drug store. The temperance
people of Denison can gain a real victory at this
time if they pursue their present advantage with
moderation and discretion.

COLUMBUS
Negro Exeursionists From Birmingham
 Shot by Marshal of Phoenix City.

Columbus September 2s.--(Special.)-A riot seemed imminent at Knights station in Phenix City this afternoon when Mar shal Campbell arrested negro who had just arrived on an excursion train from Birmingham. The train was loaded with Birmingham negroes en route to the big camp meeting at Chunnenniggee Ridge and when 1t stopped in Phenix City one of the negroes got off to buy some sugar cane. Marshal Campbell discovering that he had concealed weapon arrested him on the spot and had started to- wards the guard house when his prisoner broke away and made a dash for tho train. After a hot race the fugitive reached the train In safety The officer, summoning aid, searched the train and secured his man. When they reached the ground the negro made dive for his knife and the marshal shot him through the wrist with his own pistol. The officer was immediately surrounded by quite a number of the negro's friends, big sullen looking blacks, but serious trouble was ayerted.

MALARIA.

The people who live in low, swampy countries seem to take It for granted that Malaria. Fevers and Ague are nec- essary evils. They apparently do not re- aiize that these diseases are slowly but surely sapping their general vitality. These intermittent levers. malaria, fever and ague, swamp fever, jungle fever, etc., are the most persistent enemies of the human race If the aggregate of harm they do could be realized, they would be fought as plaques.
 These diseases are the result of weak ness of poisoned microbial blood, and it was long ago demonstrated that pr. liar ter's Iron Tonic was an absolute specific. A sure cure It has been conquring and preventing these diseases for nearly half a century. 1t purihes the blood and drives out the poisons.
 1t has been thoroughly demonstrated that the insects which infest new coun- tries and low swampy localities are ve- hicles for carrying disease germs. If your blood is pure and healthy you need have little fear of these But if your blood is bad 1t is not in condition to resist the poisonous stings, and as a result the germs of disease obtain footing.
 Protect yourself by using Dr. HArter's 's Iron Tonic. It will not only drive out but keep out malaria and other levers of like kind It has done it in so many thousands of cases that you cannot doubt.

 When shown statement by Dr. Gre gan, New York secretary of the Ameri- can board. that the ransom would be a dangerous precedent the Rev. John Smith, secretary of the American board, expressed his hearty appreciation.
 ''The board would never consider such a proposition he said. "The rescue of Miss Stone is in the hands of the govern ment. We have had missionaries in Tur- key for two generations, but never a case like this. Should we offer a ransom missionaries would never be safe from capture."
