Question Answered.


Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors we're scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation OF undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action OF
the system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You only
need few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. Get Green's Prize

Chicago Lightweight Fighter Wants

club Offering the best inducements in
the way of a purse
This challenge is particularly aimed
at Frank Erne, the Buffalo boxer, VINO
is supposed to still hold the title Of
light weight champion. Duffy wants TO
get the title with clear possession by
whipping the man who is supposed to
be best entitled to it. Then he will be
prepared to defend it against all COM
ers. Harry Gilmore, at one time the
best of all the light weight fighters,
said last night:
This money is posted merely in sup
port of the challenge and is not to go
as a side bet. But should we match
with Erne l will be prepared to bet $500
that Duffy is the winner and feel sure
that if Erne so desires the stake can
easily be increased to five times that
amount. Duffy can fight strong and

wAsHBURN QUITS AT DENVER
Kansas Captain Claimed a Foul and
Took Men OFF Field.

Denver, Col, Nov. 6.-The game be-
tween Denver Wheel club and Wash
burn college was forfeited Tuesday af-
ternoon to Denver by Referee Hutch
ings of Topeka. The second half had
just begun and the Wheel club was
gradually working the ball to the Dem
yer line, when Captain Gill of Washburn
claimed that he had been fOuled by
Brandenburg of the Wheelmen. The
umpire refused to recognize the claim
and the Kansans left the field, allowing
their adversaries to take the game by
forfeit. Captain Gill said he could not
get fair play from the umpire and that
it was unreasonable to continue The
score at the time was IL to against
the college
Brandenburg of Denver piled upon
Gill; but the umpire decided that this
was not intentional as it is held that
Brandy's record is against the claims of
foul play. The feature of the first half
was a play by Gill, who ran the entire
length of the field for a touchdown.
When Vanstone was pushed over the
line Gill snapped the ball out of his
hands and went the full distance. 1t was
a surprise to Denver and wrangling en-
sued over HutchingS giving the decision
to WaShburn. as the Wheelmen said
the ball was dead as soon as it went
over the line. The second half was
begun with savage work by the home
team, which tore through the visitors
line repeatedly. Both teams were pen
allied in the early part for holding back

AFTER AMERICAN DERBY.
Whitney Will Try For the Great
Chicago Event

Chicago, Nov ct can state posi-
lively that Mr.. Whitney's horses will
be raced here at least once next year,
and that will be in the American Der
by, if the Washington Park club re-
news the great event. said a promi-
nent turfman.
Zone of Mr.. Whitney's ambitions at
the present time is to lift the great
stake that so many eastern owners
have been shooting at for years. the
speaker continued. "And / know that
he has set his heart on taking the great
western blue ribbon with Goldsmith, one
of the grandest colts in his stable.
Il think, after talking with the peo-
pie closely connected with Mr.. Whit
ney, that he would rather win cheap
purse race with Goldsmith than take
great fixture with Nasturtium or any
of the other high-priced fellows in his
stable.
HE bred Goldsmith, and for that rea-
son has the greatest love for him. The
colt is one of the grandest animals the
world ever saw. He is little big
horse of the order of our old friend
David Tenny, but he is a wonder of
speed and stamina. 1 do not think any
distance or any weight will be too much
for him."

KANSAS NEWS.
Did Gases Kill the Kaw Valley
Potato Crop?
Farmers Sue the Southwest
Chemical Company.
FUMES FROM PLANT
Claim That the Atmosphere
Was Poisoned
And Death Was Carried to All
Forms of Vegetation.
Company Will Endeavor to Show
Weather UnfavOrable.

Argentine, Kas Nov. 6.-The Kansas
courts are soon TO be called upon to de-
eide whether Providence or the sui
phuric gases from the works of the
Southwest Chemical company is re-
sponsible for the failure of the potato
crop in the Kaw valley above Argen-
tine this year. The testimony of sci
entists and college professors and the
records of the United States weather
bureau will be the principal evidence
upon which this question will be de-
cided. AL Bogard and half dozen other
farmers and truck gardeners in the
Kaw bottom lands between Argentine
and Turner have filed suits against the
company in the district court of Wyan-
dotte county for sums aggregating So
900, representing the value of the crops
that failed during the summer. In their
petitions they assert that the fumes
from the smelling works waited by
easterly and southerly winds, traversed
the valley, poisoned the atmosphere
and carried death to all forms of vege-
tation.
In preparing for it's defense the com
pany is gathering statistics to snow
that the potato crop and other garden
products We're a general failure in this
part of the country this summer on
account of unfavOrable weather conol-
@OD-S
of the crop near Argentine was not
alone sufficient to cause the unprece-
dented rise in the price of potatoes. In
order to show that there is no cause
for action against the chemical COM
pany and that the burden of the re-
sponsibility rests upon Providence,
which is action proof, the company is
fortifying itself with weather statistics
BY means of these an attempt Will be
made to prove that the character OF the
weather during the summer was more
fatal to potatoes than acids and gases.
The company will try to fix the blame
on late frosts in the spring, high tenn
perature in the summer. and a long,
whitening drouth-
In addition to this it is commended
that the system under which the plant
is operated is based on the utilization
of all the gases released from the ores
in the furnaces. These gases are of two
kinds-sulphuric and nitric-and from
them are manufactured sulphuric acid
and nitrous acid. Every bit of gas that
escapes from the works, the company
claims represents the loss of that much
valuable material. Sulphuric and MI
trous acids it is contended, are largely
used in the manufacture of fertilizer,
and are therefore beneficial instead of
detrimental to vegetation. Here IS
where the expert testimony of the sci
entists will be brought in on both sides
to determine that question.

TO CLOSE THE JOINTS.

shifts all responsibility on Mayor Mes

and has heretofore had the support of
a majority of the council in his policy
of permitting the joints to run under
a fine system which has brought in
revenue of $1OO m onthly from each of
eight saloons. The mayor now an
nounces that he is tired of having the
entire responsibility for the joints
placed on his shoulders, and will close
every one of them, no matter what the
cost to the city. If he succeeds in shut

CHARLIE BOOTS HURT.
Noted Trainer Seriously Gored by a
Tame Deer.

San Francisco, Nov 6.-Charles T.
Boots, we'll known breeder of thorough
breds, who has large ranch near Mil
phitas, was dangerously injured by
tame deer. One of Boots fads is to keep
a herd of deer, which he fed and pet
ted. Most of the animals are very tame.
Today, as Boots left the paddock after
feeding his pets, one of them chased
him, and before he could leap over the
fence the buck charged upon him,
thrusting one of it's sharp horns into
his breast and penetrating one lung
The injury is regarded by the doctors
as serious, the lung is badly hurt.
Boots has been one of the striking
figures of the American turf. He is a
son of William Boots, an old Missourian
who settled in Milphitas, and who has
been raising thoroughbreds for many
years. For the past two season Boots
colors have been seen on eastern tracks.
Charles is a classical scholar, and
taught Greek and Latin in the univer-
sity of the Pacific before he began to
train horses Unlike the average horse
man, he has never been known to bet
a dollar on q race.

Postmaster at Cherokee Strikes It
Rich in Oklahoma.

Cherokee, kas., Nov. 6.-R. w. Bran
son, postmaster at Cherokee, is inter-
ested in the find of oil and natural gas
at Lawton, Okla When the land draw
ing took place, Mr.. Branson went to
Ell Reno and registered and drew one
of the lucky numbers. When he filed
in September he secured a claim three
and half miles from Lawton me
quarter section of land adjoining Mr.
Bransons claim was taken by the Ma
tional Oil company of Lawton, com
posed of the president of the First Ma
tional bank of Lawton, the county
treasurer and other Oklahoma capital
lists, to prospect for oil and gas. The
company made big strikes both OF Oil
and gas.
1t has developed that the company
made a mistake in the location OF It's
wells A survey made few days ago
shows the boring to have been done on
the claim filed by Mr. Branson- AS soon
as the company discovered its mistake
it began a contest against Mr. Bran
sons claim on the ground that the
claim was mineral land, and as sucn
was open to be taken. Eight of such
claims have already been filed Allur-
ing offers to compromise have been
