CRACK SHOTS FAIL TO WIN
], A. R, Elliott and Many of His Glass
Miss in Sweepstakes,
THlRTY-Slx MEN TIE ON STRAIGHT SCORE
Preliminary Match of the Big Tour
nRment at Kansas city IL
successfuIly Carried
Out.

KANSAS CITY, March 31.-Thirty-six
men tied on a straight score of twelve birds
in the Kansas City sweepstakes. the initial
event Of the Grand American handicap live
bird tournament which opened at Blue
River park in this city today.
Three hundred and sixty-nine candidates
for Grand American handicap honors en-
tered for this first preliminary shoot and
the list included all Of the prominent
shooters who are on the entry list for the
big shoot later in the week. On account
Of the great number OF participants only
those who had a straight score or had
missed only one bird at the end of the
eighth round we're allowed to shoot the re-
naming four rounds.
There were 140 who had not missed a
bird at the end OF the fourth round, or
after every man had shot once at each Of
the four traps. seventy-four men had an
unbroken record of dead birds at the end
Of the eighth round.
Twelve Birds the Number.
Because Of the unwieldy entry list it
was decided early in the day to cut the
number of birds each man was to shoot
at from twelve to eight, but as the sweep
stakes, according to the original plan, we're
to be divided among the thirty high guns
and there were s~eventy-four straight scores
after all had shot at eight birds, the man
agement later decided to continue the
match to twelve birds, dropping from the
list all who had missed more than one
bird. This left 1874 men, or half the entry
list to shoot the remaining four rounds.
The purse amounted to $2,5S3, which was
divided equally among the thirty-six win
ners.
The weather was ideal for the sport, a
bracing north wind making the birds an
active lot. 1t was noticeable that most
of the pigeons which got away, were re-
leased from the traps at the north side
of the field. The birds flying against the
wind we're more dificult to hit than those
flying with 1t.

to YOU for Peruna. miss Kate Brown.
A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
1t is more often, however, the cause
of some chronic disease
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously de-
ranged by neglected cold. Diseases OF
the kidneys, bladder and digestive or
gans are all frequently the result OF a
neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, but until the true cause of
them is discovered, there will be no
use in using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhGa medi-
cine and constipation medicine is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. Tho catarrh must be treated.
The cause being removed, the derange-
ments will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any OF
the internal organs.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

PLUMBERS STRIKE ENDED.
Agreement Reached at Meeting Held
Last Evening.

After determined struggle. which lasted
nine weeks, the strike Of the journeymen
plumbers came to an end last evening, and
according to agreement the men will re-
turn to their work tomorrow morning. 1t
was announced last night after long con-
ference between a committee representing
the Master Plumbers Association and a
similarly authorized body of the strikers,
that an agreement had been reached which
provided that two helpers shall be allowed
for every three plumbers, the apprentices
to be termed journeymen. 1t Is claimed
that the outcome Of the strike cannot be
reckoned as a decided victory for either the
master plumbers or the strikers. as both
parties concerned granted concessions. The
strike. is well known. was based on the
question of employing helpers. the plumbers
demanding that they be hereafter excluded.
The bosses contended that they had the
right to employ as many helpers as they
needed.
The agreement perfected last evening Is
the result of three conferences between q
committee Of Local. No. 5, of the Plumbers
Union and committee representative of
the Master Plumbers Association At the
first two conferences terms could not be
agreed upon. and the third was held last
evening. 1t commenced at 2 o'clock and
lasted until 6. at the end Of which time 1t
was arranged to hold a conference later in
the evening with the Master Plumbers
Association, the outcome Of which result
ed as stated above.
For the Master Plumbers Association the
agreement was signed by Messrs. D. J. MUIR
ply. W. d. Nolan. E. ]. Hannah, John L.
Shedd and R. B. Caveriy: Messrs A. T..
Anderson, Thomas NJ. Reardon M J. Nc
affixed their signatures as the representa-
tives of the strikers.

Conference to Be Resumed on the Fow-
Ter Currency Bill.


An adjourned caucus of republican menu
bers Of the House will be held tonight to
consider the Fowler bill, reported from the
committee on banking and currency. The
friends of the measure hardly expect to
pass it at this session of Congress, but
they desire to have it's provisions under
stood. and. if possible, arrange for its con-
sideration at the next session. Tonight the
time will be given to three twenty-minute
speeches by Mr.. Hill Of Connecticut, ex-
planning the branch bank provisions; by
Mr.. Lowering of Massa chusetts, on asset
currency, and by Mr.. Overstreet of In
diana, on retiring the greenba cks. after
which some program for future action may
be considered.
Chairman Babcock Of the republican
congressional campaign committee an
nounced today that he should call a meet
ing of the executive committee as soon as
it's members arrived In Washington. This
was all Chairman Babcock had to divulge
tween himself ard Messrs. Overstreet,
Sherman and Hull. in their yachting trip
which began Friday afternoon and ended
last night.
Chairman Babcock may conclude to give
out statement later regarding conclusions
reached between the officers of his commit
tee, but at present he says there is moth
ing to state besides the fact that the CAM
paign was the subject of an informal dis
Cussion.
One day was spent at Old Point Comfort

Friends of Elkin Say He Will Be
Nominated for Governor on
First Ballot.

HARRISBURG, Pa. June 9.-The result
of the fight for the republican nomination
for governor is stir in doubt, with the
chances about even between Judge Samuel
w. Pennypacker of Philadelphia and At
torney General John P. Elzin Of Indiana,
with former Lieut.. Gov Louis A. Watres Of
Scranton claiming to hold the balance of
power.
Much depends ON the thirty-six delegates

1t is expected they will have a caucus dur
Ing the day to determine how they shall
vote in Wednesdays state convention.
Quay and Durham Confident.
Senator Quay and Insurance Commission
er Durham. who have charge of Penny
packers candidacy, still claim he will be
nominated the hrst ballot, even if he
does not get single vote from Allegheny
county.

Allegheny delegates and that he has
enough delegates pledged to nominate him
on the first ballot.
Pennypackers managers have already
disclosed their candidates for convention
officers.
United States .enator Penrose has been
selected by them for temporary chairman
and Representative Sibley for permanent
chairman.
Senator Quay will be a candidate for
state chairman if Pennypacker wins.
The present state chairman, Banking
Commissioner Reederg is member of the
state administration and Is pledged to Ell
kin.
The Elkinites have not yet indicated their
choice for officers of the convention.
Brown Has Field to Himself
Maj. Isaac 3. Brown OF Erie still has the
field to himself for secretary of internal
affairs, and his nomination depends on the
result of the fight for governor.
The state committee will meet tomorrow
afternoon to make up the roll of delegates
and decide the cofftests.
The committee WIFI also select the tenn
porary officersiof the convention.

HURLINGHAM. England June 9.-In the
polo tournament the English team scored
their first goal in the first ten minutes.
The Americans scored a goal in the first
half of the second period.
England won by goals to 1.
The game opened in very lively znan-
ner
The play started with fierce rush by
the Americans toward the English goal
The ball was kept there for some time,
but. finally, the British forced 1t back,
threatening the American goal so danger
ously that Waterbury was thrice forced to
knock out in order to save the goal.
The Englishrnen finally scored clean
goal.
Play in the second period was also very
fast. the ball alternating at each end, until
the Americans scored from a short shot
right in front of the post.
Waterbury's stubborn defense was the
feature Of the third period, but the En-
glishmen's combination play and fine rid
ing off told.
At half time the score was: England, 2;
America. !.
