Ii Saved Her Life

Geoch's Mexicn Syrup has accomp-
lished cure in this neighborhood
which has astonished the people.
Miss Davis was given up to die by her
attending physician. She had lung
fever. The doctor said she would die
before morning, and advised TO discon-
tinue his medicine, as it was doing her
no good. Her parents had bottle of
GoOch's Mexican Syrup and Gooch's
Quick Relief IN the mouse. Toey at
once began to give the Syrud in doses
one hour apart, and frequently bathed
her chest with the Quick Relief. Be-
fore morning she was better, and after
using few bottle of each, she is almost
as well as ever. 1t was almost like
raising the dead, and has established
the reputation of Gooch's Mexican Sy-
rup here as cough remedy; we can
sell nothing else.

been received from Cincinnati assuring
the committee of confidence in the out

committee is in communication with a
large number of miscellaneous creditors.
many of which are yet to be heard from.
A subcommittee has gone to look over
the condition of the syndicate's traction
companies. Which these were would
not be disclosed. The main desire Of the
committee is to dispose of sufficient
bonds to enable it to pay off a nmber Of
the smaller creditors, who are neces-

statement that the Sandusky division of

the topic of discussion among alley keep

The forming Of national alley owners

was done toward it. Bowling alley keep

Were brought in touch with the plan. and
now they announce they are ready to
bring about its founding.
The forming of the association, they
say. would be beneficial to all the alley
keepers and owners in many ways. The
cutting of prices by various keepers ard
owners for the use of their alleys would
be stopped. This means much to the
teams bowling on alleys where they get
a reduced rate. The prices could be regu-

in the reichstag. He characterized Mr.
Chamberlain as the most wicked man on
Gods earth.
This expression. called forth a stern re-

a mob of thieves and robbers. unfit to

of Probable Trouble in
Chinese Capital.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-When shown
a news dispatch from Pekin, stating
that the presentation of certain demands
upon China by the French minister at
the Chinese capital has caused a serious
hitch in the proceedings there, M. Cam
bon, the French ambassador at Wash
ington expressed great surprise, saying
that he was not aware of any claims
preferred against the Chinese govern
ment by the French republic which
would be likely to cause an interruption
of affairs at Pekin. Che ambassador
has not received any advices whatever
on this subject, and, therefore, was not
prepared to give a speculative interpre-
tation Of the dispatch.
1t was suggested that France does Eold
some claims against China, but it was
gathered that these were not regarded
here as of sufficient Importance to bring
about the state of affairs set out in the
press dispatches. At the state depart
ment it was suggested that the trouble
may have arisen from a question Of
precedence or procedure in the coming
presentation of the foreign ministers.

FITz STARTS THE GUESSING.
Sporting Men Wonder Why Robert
Is Asking for Backing.


NEW YORK. Jan. 10-What is Fitz up
to? Every sporting man in town is MAX
ing this query since the report came out
that the COrnishman had asked AdOlph
SpreckleS for backing against Jeffries. 1t
is not the amount involved that puzzled
local sports, but it is the way Fitz went
Is Fitz broke? His neighbors don't
don't think he is and judging from the
clothes "Lanky Bob wears he is still IL
many Sin the know" assert that there
was method in Fits madness in going
after the $4,000. 1t was simply an an
nouncement ito the world that he has
powerful friends and that he can get
backing to any amount.
Some Of his friends even assert that
there has been a secret meeting between
Jeffrjes and FitZ and that all arrange
ments have been made for meeting be-
tween the two men. What discussions
are going on now is regarded as in the
light as free advertisement, and that
both fighters have agreed to let the 9TH
erS speak for them for a while
Whether or not Spreckles will be will
ing to back FitZ for -$25,0 900 remains to be
seen. He has not decided yet, and prob
ably won't until he hears more definitely
from the 'red-headed one One thing
is true, the California millionaire is a
great admirer OF the lanky fighter and he
recently made statement that he would
be willing TO back him for any amount up
to $50 coo.
The fact that Fitzsimmons has chosen
this Way in announcing to the world that
he is ready to re-enter the ring is re-
garded as certainly that he is in great
shape. OF course the money being put IN
| by the public would follow in the lead of
the PACIFIC coast millionaire. and Fitz
would probably go into the ring ia
Vorite over jeff. 1t is hardly likely that
the Cornshman would dare to run the
risk of public censure in case of defeat
and 1t is argued that he must have an ace
up his sleeve somewhere.
| That F'itZ will enter the ring and that
JeItrles viii meet him there is not a mar
tlcle of doubt now. 1t is regarded as q
certainty that Fitz will be willing -
! make match with Jeff without bacyino
now that both have bluffed each otbn "a Is
| standsuIl and the vocabularies Of each
