Jimmy Britt Easily Outpoints
Seiger, Of New York,
In a Vicious Contest Last Night
in San Francisco.
CALIFORNIAN A DAISY,
Uses His Left With Telling Eff
feet Every Round.
The Gotham Man Proved Game
But Badly Punished.

San Francisco, Nov. Jimmy
Britt, the California lightweight, easily
secured the decision last night over
Charlie Seiger, of New York. There
was no stage of the contest in which
the issue was in doubt.
In all but the fourteenth round Britt
had a clear lead. He outpointed. out
boxed and outgeneraled Seiger at
every stage of the game. Britt Gre
ated havoc with Seiger's stomach with
left hooks. which he landed time and
again. He varied this during the lat
ter stage of the contest by working his
left to the face and soon had Seiger
bleeding copiousIy from nose and
mouth. Britt timed his blows to a
nicely, and seldom failed to reach some
portion of Seiger's anatomy
The fourteenth round was the only
one. in which Seiger had a chance.
Toward the close of this round he sue
ceeded in landing two wild swings on
the Californian's jaw. one partially
him to his knees The bell rang at
this stage, but Britt went to his cor
ner without showing signs of distress.
He came up fresh in the fifteenth
round. and once more began his plan
of outpointing the easterner. From
this on Britt seemed to grow fresher
and as the fight advanced there was
a noticeable increase in the power be-
hind his blows Britt employed his
left almost continuously throughout
the fight, but when the opening pre-
scented he used his right TO great ad-
vantage. Seiger put up a game fight
and his ability to take punishment
was marvellous. Time and again he
seemed on the verge of going out fol
good, but always came back and forced
the fighting.
Britt left the ring without a mark
while Seiger presented a pitiable ap-
pearance and tottered from the ring

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People from Trying a
Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so common ana
in most cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to be a radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and Indl-
gestion. Many such pride themselves on
their acuteness in never being humbug-
ged, especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far. so far. in fact, that
many people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made of a preparation so reli-
able and universally used as Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not a secret
patent medicine. no secret is made of
their ingredients, but analysis shows
them to contain the natural digestive
ferments, pure aseptic pepsin. the di-
gestive acids, Golden Seal, blsmuth, by
drastis and nux. They are not cathartic,
neither do they act powerfully on any
organ, but they cure indigestion on the
common sense plan of digesting the
food eaten thoroughly before it has time
TO ferment. sour and cause the mischief.
This is the only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely on the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble IS
really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That Is all there
is to it. Food not digested or half dl-
gested is poison as it creates gas, acid
ity. headaches, Dalpitation of the heart

Southern California.

Location Below Sea Level and

Ellis Kas., Nov. 1.-THE Review
Headlight says: One of the assistant
train dispatchers, H. T. Flint, has been
interested in a mining property IN
southern California, and last week
closed a deal which will put him on
Easy street for the rest of his life.
In conversation with Mr. Flint he gave
the editor an interesting account OF
his work and Iabors in developing the
property and how he became inter
estsd in it.
The claim is located on the Colorado
river. about 20 miles south of Needles
Cal. A couple of miners prospecting
down the river located a claim at TINS
spot, believing that the indlcauons
were good for gold. and got Mr. tlnt
who was then located near that re-
gfon, to take an interest in it. sam
pies of the deposit were sent TO an
assayer at FL Paso, who reported very
little gold but that the sample was
rich in inter. or saltDeter as it is more
commonly called. AS this mineral IS
valuable it was at once seen that IL

ties it would be a paying proposition.

been perfected that makes the enter
prise a success.
The claim embraces about 45O acres
deposit is of an ashy nature, and is of
unknown depth. It can be easily
worked and shoveled I'D like so much
sand. The presence Of the Colorado
river gives an abundance of water,
which is largely used in the concen-
tration works. The claim being only
about 30 miles from a railroad. the
transportation question is easily set
tied. A similar deposit IS said to have
been found in Death valley, but the
lack of. water and the great distance
from the railroads makes it impossible
to develop it.
We understand a $4,000 forfeit has
been put up and the balance to be
paid in so DAYS if the title is good and
everything satisfactory.

His Hogs shuek the Corn.

One of the most successful farmers in

he never shucks his corn, any year. He
has his fields fenced hog tight and just
turns his hogs in and let's them gather
and feed the corn to themselves. He
insists that the amount of corn wasted
is much less than it would cost him to
hUsk the corn. The little pigs which
get an ear down, pick up and eat all
the leavings of the larger hogs and so
all is saved and in the spring his corn
has been shucked, his field is ready for
the plow and his hogs have been fat
tened. We don't knowvery much about
the value of this method, but we do
know that this farmer is a money
