A Talk About the Boil Weeyil.

Mr.. Boutwell, Williams and wife from
Lott, Texas, are here on visit to rela-
tives and friends. Mr.. Williams has
been in Texas for Ia years; is now en-
gagged in merchandising and operating a
small farm. He talks very Interestingly
and inteligently about the boil weevil.
He brought about two dozen of these
cotton destrOyers in a vial of alcohol.
These are of different ages and stages of
developement.
The boil weevil, as 1t is called, Mr..
Williams says, Is improperly named,
from the fact that it does not attack the
boil, but on the contrary, enters the
square as soon as fully formed, goes in
side the shuck, punctures the center.
sucks the sap, then deposits its egg, then
goes to other squares and does the same
thing. The egg matches grub which
soon developes into weevil. Thus It IA
that thousands Of weevils soon infest the
cotton and the crop soon destroyed. The
weed Is never eaten, and to stand off
from field Of cottoI no one would sus-
pect from the appearance Of the weed
that there had been weevil in it, so as
long as there are any squares to feed on
this Is all the weevil cares for. 1t some-
times happens that the tender bud of the
cotton stalk is punctured by the weeyil.
but this Is only when there are no
squares. Mr.. Williams says that some
years there is a zeal boil worm, which
destroys the boil. He says that the wee
vii made its appearance nearly month
earlier this year; that the prospect for a
good crop is very promising If the weevil
can be prevented from further destruc-
tion. Thousapde:of acres of corn are
already made and Ulll average As BUSH
els-to the acre, and all other crops in his
section ere good.

NeIson-BPitt Fight.

San Francisco, Dec. 6.-Alex Greg
gains, pugilistie manager of San Fran
cisco, offers to give Corbett a chance
to fight the winner of the Britt-Nelson
fight here in January. Greggains has
a fight permit for that month, and his
management would insure a good con-
test. Corbett said today:
IF Britt or Nelson will fight me I
will go to the country and get into
shape. My defeat by Nelson was due
to trying to do two months work in
half that time
Greggains said: eff take up Cor
bett he must put himself under my
management He must get away from
the city and go on a ranch. If he will
promise me this I will talk business
with him. Corbett is by no means a
back number. If he will only work
he can fight and wouldn't be afraid
to back him to heat Nelson or Britt.

on his way to San Francisco. wants
to fight Kid Mccoy before my club,

FOR TWENTY YEARS
Not an Unusual Instance.

''I used Pyramid Pile Cure and
have not had any trouble since. I
have been a sufferer with piles for
twenty years. I think it is the best
remedy on earth for piles. Hoping
this may help others to use this rem
edy" Mrs. ]. D. Teller, R. F. d. 90,
Sparta, Mich.
1t is a singular fact that although
many women suffer from piles, or
hemorrhoids, they frequently do not
have proper treatment because of a
delicacy women have in mentioning
such a subject. Especially is this the
case with those who have no husband
or brother in whom they can confide;
and a physician is seldom consulted
until the pain and agony incident to
piles becomes unbearable-
Thousands of women have suffered
even longer than did Mrs. Teller, al
ways experiencing slight or temper
airy relief, if any, from the various
remedies used and finally settling
down to the conviction that a cure in
their cases was impossible. Pyramid
Pile Cure has come as a boon to all
SUCH as 1t seldom, if ever fails to. eff
feet a permanent cure. 1t is sold by
druggists for fifty cents package, or
will be mailed by the makers to any
address, upon receipt of price. Abso-
lutte secrecy is guaranteed, and no
name is ever used without the consent
of the writer.
1t is suggested that those inter-
ested write to Pyramid Drug Co,
Marshall, Mich. for their little book
describing the causes and cure of piles,
as It ia sent free for the asking.

Gently awarded contracts by the

| on Foul Lines
| Chicago, Dec. 6.-When Aurelia
| Herrera, the Mexican featherweight
1 fighter, read the reports of the Nelson
| ''Corbett'' glove contest in San Fran
| cisco Tuesday night, he sharply criti-
cised the referees action in ignoring
| "CorbettS" claim that Nelson was
| using his head for butting purposes.
| The Mexican boxed Nelson but short
time ago in Butte. and has this to say
| of the contest
NELSON has a great way of bearing
in with his head and butted at every
opportunity in his contest with me. He
uses the trick Skillfully enough, but 1t
| is plain to everybody what he is try
| ing to do. I do not blame 'Corbett'
| for making the claims that he did, for
my manager, Joe Wood, protested Wig
orouSly against it when we boxed.
81 am not trying to make any ex-
cuses for myself nor Young Corbett,'
/ but I know there must have been
something to 'Corbett's claims. 1t is
not likely the trick had anything to do
with the result of the fight, but at the
same time it is a mean trick and apt
to sway a contest at any time.
81 would like to say right now that
when we fought Nelson never got me
off my feet and the only knockdown
during the battle was in my favor,
Nelson being fioored clearly. I note,
too, that 1 am the only man in recent
months that has stayed in the ring for
twenty rounds with Nelson.
81 took that fight on at eleven days
notice and three of those days were
spent in railroad travelling getting to
the battle ground. 1 had to take off
fourteen pounds in that time. too, and
did the last four and one-half pounds
of it in the bath house the day of the
fight.
81 have got $1,000 to bet that he
cannot beat me at any time, any place,
any weight or any conditions. I would
like to box him in Chicago six, eight
or ten rounds, or will go to the coast
and meet him again. I thought he
would knock 'Corbett, out and told my
friends so. 'Corbett' is all in and I
met him would knock his head off,
