why Gleason Holds Back.

The reason for the failure of Harry
Gleason to report to the Chicago club, as
Jimmy Collins of Boston SO often promised
he would. became apparent when it was
learned that Ferris. Boston's second base
man. had injured his ankle in practice and
it was uncertain how long he would be out
Of the game. For this reason Collins kept
holding Gleason back, and will doubtless
continue to do SO until Ferris Is in shape
again. This puts Comiskey In tight place
with the season near at hand and no way
to I'LL the infield. except at the expense OF
the pitching department by using Callahan
at third. He has contract with Dundon,
crack third baseman Of the Western
League. as well as with Odell and c. Jones,
outfielders. But this trio Of players were

The Athletics lost the series by reason OF
their failure to bat. Not one of the cham

on the other hand, the Phillies hit the ball
reasonably hard. The fielding was about

First Cotton Mill in South.

From the Savannah News.
Investigation has shown that to Georgia
belongs the honor of erection of the first
cotton mill in the south. 1t was located on
Upton creek, nine miles west of Washing
ton, in Wilkes county. 1t was erected in
the year 1911, and was known as the Boil
ton mill, or Bolton factory. Among the
incorporators were Matthew Talbert, one
of the governors Of Georgia. and Freder-
lex Ball, who was related to George Wash
ington. The factory began with capital
of 100000. At the site Of this factory was
erected, in 1894. one Of Whitney's first cot
ton gins. The Bolton mill was torn down
in 1912, but the foundation is still to be
seen. Both the gin and the mill were oper-
ated with water power.

ACTOR WOULD
FIGHT DUEL
A.. R. Walker Shows a Chal-
lenge From s. W. Murdy
to County Attorney.

Challenges to fight "a duel to the
death" are so rare nowadays that A. R.
Walker brought one purpOrting to have
been written by Samuel w. Murdy, an
actor, and sent to him from Finley,
Mimi, to County Attorney Kane that
he might bring legal proceedings
against the challenger.
The challenge, which Walker AYERS
is written in good faith and with sober
intent in spite of its seriO-cOmic as
pect, is cOuched in the eXtravagdnt
terms of the melodrama and voices a
desire to shed the gore of the recipient
on the field of battle. The choler Of the
challenger, however, led him into dis
play of ignorance of the me-hOnOred
custom governing duels in that ne
names the weapons, a vested right Of
the challenged.
Walker stated yesterday that his
friendship for the wife of Murdy was
the cause of the challenge. Walker
lives at 1927 Charles street. and Murdy
at 905 Edmund street, nearby. Walker
stated that he had known Murdy for
some time and that he and Mrs. ,Murdy
were officers of the same Christian En-
deaVOr society They became friends
and when Mrs. Murdy was sick Walker
did many kind acts for her. Mr.. Murdy
objected, he said, to their friendship,
because jealous, and trouble followed,
the latest outcome of which is the in
vitatiOn to fight duel.
Last winter" said Walker, MurIy
kicked me and l have had two opera
tons since from the effect. But he
isn't content with that. Now he writes
me this letter.
He pulled from his pocket an express
envelope addressed to him and marked
Fvalue So" Inside was the challenge in
a separate envelope.
L challenge you to a duel with guns"
it opened. Il will be in the city soon
and arrangements can be made for the
time and place"
Further on it refers indefinitely to the
wrong done him which only blood can
wash away. After Offering to furnish
notes of how a brave men should con-
duct himself upon the field of battle he
closes thus:
"All 1 want is free field and a fair
fight"
Il don't want any trouble" said Mr.
Walker yesterday, but if the law viii
not protect me I will protect myself"
County Attorney Kane did not take a
serious view Of the challenge and adj
Vised Walker to wait until Murdy re-
turned and then if he molests you have
him prosecuted.
The practice of dueling is strictly
prohibited by the penal code, which
places maximum penalty of seven
years imprisonment upon anyone who
challenges or accepts challenge or has
to do either as principal, second, sur
geon or abettor with any such practice.

CITY'S RIGHT TO LAND
IS AGAIN IN DOUBT
Title to Sixth Street Bridge Property
Is Found CEouded.

St. PauPs. rights to the ground on
which rest the abutments that support
the Sixth street bridge are IN Ques-
ton. The st. Paul Trust and Loan
company claims the land as MORTGAGE.
What the trust company has in view
was Unexpectedly unearthed by First
Assistant Corporation Attorney Nc
Dermott yesterday and brought to light
condition of affairs that may yet
mulct the city for a heavy sum.
Herman w. Phillips, former at
tache of the city legal department,
is credited by Mr.. McDermett with
being responsible for the defective
deed to the ground which the city now
has in it's possession, he certifying
a clear title when the instrument was
clouded with incumberances.
The claim is an offshoot of the liti-
cation a few months ago when the
city was compelled to pay twice for
ground taken for the construction of
the Phalen creek sewer in 1893. In
this case, on Mr.. Phillips recommend
atoms that the title to the ground de-
sired was vested in John Wagner, the
city paid WAGNER $4,000. Six years
later claimants holding mortgages
amounting to over 100000 against the
property made their appearance and
the city was again compelled to pay,
but this time with interest, $500 be-
ing forfeited.
1t was in 1893 that Mr.. Phillips is
credited with having made the error,
but the odd feature of the present COM
plicatiOn is that he made a similar
return as to the title two years pre-
viouS to that date.
The ground in question is part
of what is known as SWede Hollow,
and was formerly the property of John
Wagener'S ownership, but despite this
Wagner's ownership, but despite this
fact Mr.. Phillips certified that it lay
in the Wageners. The piece of ground
taken for the abutments cost the city
81, 900. Later, when a portion Of the
same property was desired for sewer
purposes, Mr.. Phillips return as to
title was the same.
The deed found yesterday is accom-
panied by a bond, also attesting to it's
genuineness. but the sureties have
long ago departed for other lands. The
trust company which absorbed the
property was aware of the conditions
the moment the property passed into
it's hands, but preferred to wait for
the interest that it's collection would
bring.
The city, in order to protect itself,
may bring new condemnation proceed
ings, but if it does advanced values
will have to be paid and with the add1-
ton damages for past occupancy.
Where the ground cost the city $1,000
twelve years ago, $4,000 may be the
figure now.

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
But 1t Has Proven of Interest and Value
to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become feshy and plump
1t can only result from the food we eat
and digest and that food should be alburni-
nous or flesh forming food, ike eggs. beef
steak and cereals; in, other words, the
kinds Of food that make flesh are the foods
Which form the greater part of our daily
bills of fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach from abuse and overwork does
not properly digest and aSSimilate it,
which is the reason SO many people re-
main thin and under weight; the diges-
tive organs do not completely digest the
flesh forming beefSteak and eggs and sim
liar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dySpeptics. although they
may have no particular pain or inconven-
fence from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their preiu-
dices aside and make a regular practice
of taking. after each meal, one or two of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets the food would
be quickly and thoroughly digeSted, be-
cause these tablets contain the natural
peptones and diastase which every weak
stomach lacks, and by supplying this want
the stomach is soon enabled to regain its
natural tone and vigor.
StuaTts Dyspepsia Tablets digest ev-
cry form of f1esh-fOrming food, meat, eggs
bread and potatoes, and this is the reason
they so quickly build up, strengthen and
invigorate thin, dyspeptic men, women
and children.
Invaiids and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit as
they contain no strong, irritating drugs
no cathartic nor any harmful ingredient
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most
successful and most widely known of any
remedy for stomach troubles because it is
the most reasonable and scientific of mod
ern medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
every druggist in the United States and
Canada, as well as in Great Britain, at so
cents for complete treatment:
Nothing further is required to cure any
stomach trouble or to make thin, nervous,
dyspeptic people, strong, plump and well.
