Young corbett Badly Whipped.

San Francisco, Nov. 30.-In the
greatest fight ever witnessed between
little men in years, Battling Nelson"
of Chicago won from Young Corbett of
Denver last night in ten rounds.
From the top of the gong until Cor
belts seconds threw up the sponge,
Nelson was master of the situation at
every stage of the game. His in-fight-
ing was revelation and the most
brilliant witnessed in any ring here.
For the last three rounds of the fight
Corbett was as helpless as baby but
he wobbled around groggily and
gamely until the repeated calls from
around the house to stop the fight
caused Harry Tuthill to enter the ring.
The fight was over. and the new man
is in Inc to vanquish Champion Britt.

W.C.T.U. MEETING
CONVENTION AT PHILADELPHIA
Five Hundred Delegates in Attend
ance.-Interestine Report of Mrs.
Lillian Stephens, President.


Philadelphia, Nov. 3O-The thirty
first annual convention of the National
Womens Christian Temperance Union
began here yesterday. The union num-
bers more than 10000 members and in
cludes in its ranks members OF every
Christian denomination.
Five hundred delegates from every
state and territory in the Union are III
attendance at the convention. Presl-
dents OF representative womens union
clubs will be invited to make addresses
during the convention and many we'll
known clergymen and educators Will
join the speakers. Representatives
from numerous charitable and social
Improvement societies will also address
the meeting.
The chief feature of yesterdays pro-
gram was the annual address of Mrs
Lillian NJ. n. Stevens of Portland,
Maine, president of the organization.
Mrs. Stevens has failed to attend but
one convention in thirty years and at
that time she was kept at home by i'll
ness.
Mrs. Stevens in her address made the
following recommendations
Il recommend that We continue to
make a vigorous effort for the enact
ment by Congress of the Hepburn-Dol-
liver bill to control the interstate traf-
tic of intoxicating liquors and for the
passage of the McCumber bill forbid
ding liquor selling in government
buildings; this bill seeks to suppress
liquor selling at the national soldiers
homes.
1,t1 1,t = in,
opium except for medicinal purposes in
the entire jurisdiction of the United
States and for the provision of govern
ment treatment for the habitual vic
Tins of this drug. November Sth we
sent from the national headquarters a
petition to Secretary Hay to use his
diplomatic influence to induce Great
Britain to release China from the en-
forced opium traffic, which we believe
to be contrary to the sentiment of the
British people and to the real interest
of British commerce.
Also for the exclusion of Senator
SmoOt from the United States Senate
and an antt-polygamy amendment to
the constitution of the United States.
II recommend to send from this con-
vention an appeal to President ROoSe-
welt begging that the sale of liquor for
beverage purposes be prohibited in the
Panama district now under control OF
the United States.
For the states not having pro-
hibitory law to endeavor to secure the
enactment of law prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating liquors within a rad us
of three miles from all army posts or
government reservations.
That the various states shall work
for law prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of cigarettes; also for law
prohibiting the sale to minors of to-
bacco in any form.
We must continue our protest
against the union of Indian Territory
and Oklahoma Territory as one state
unless the sale of intoxicants is pro-
! hibited. This protest is in accordance
with the memorial of the National w.
c. T. u, presented to the Senate

FIGHTING AT ZElGLER.
Strikers War in Letters Illinois Coal
Mines.

Carbondale, H., Dec. Attorney
Platt says that bullets whistle around
Zeigler all night long, and that the at
tacks had grown so bold and had be-
come so desperate that Sheriff Stein of
Franklin could not maintain peace
with all his deputies and that he
(Stein) found it necessary to call out
the militia.
At ZeigIer the stockade is about 900
feet long and 400 feet wide. 1t is a
tight board fence fifteen feet high. At
each end on diagonal corners are block
houses, in each of which is a machine
gun. AS soon as darkness approaches
these guns are placed in readiness for
an attack. They are used, too, so At
torney Platt says, every night.
Farmers in that vicinity substantiate
his statements in this respect
1t only requires one shot from out
side for the men behind the machine
guns to get in action. They send bull
lets into the trees 500 yards away like
hail. Platt says these shots from the
machine guns have been answered
promptly, that bullets whistle all
around the town and that the music
Is not pleasant to the ears.
But the crowning feature about the
stockade is the use of a powerful
searchlight placed on top of the water
tank, 154 feet above the ground. With
the aid of this light perfect view of
the country for a mile around may be
had, therby affording the men behind
the machine guns a good aim should
the light uncoved any of the enemy.
The strike has been in progress for
nearly five months, having been de-
clared July 10th. Since that time Lei
ter has borne the expense of Franklin
county, and it has been enormous. AS
many as $50 deputies have been en-
ployed by Sheriff Stein. They have
been paid, it is said, SO per day. They
have been boarded and fed by the Zeig-
Ter Mining Company.
When the injunction was issued by
Judge Humphrey deputy United States
marshalS took charge of the place in
part, although many of the deputy
sneriffs were retained for guard duty.

HEAD SOLID SORE Awful Suffering of Baby and SIeepleSs Nights of
 Mother. CURED BY CUTICURA Skin Fair as a Lily with no Scar 10 Recall Awful Sore
 Writes Mother.

"I herewith write out in full the be- ginning and end of that terrible disease, eczema, which caused my babe untold suffering and myself many sleepless nights.
 My babe was born seemingly fair, healthy child, but when she was three weeks old 8 swelling appeared on the back of her head, and in course of time broke. It did not heal but grew worse, and the sore spread from the size of dime to that of a dollar. I used all kinds of remedies that could think of, but nothing seemed to help; in fact, 1t grew worse. Her hair fell out where the sore was, and feared 1t would never grow again. It continued until my aged father came on a visit, and when he saw the baby he told me to get Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment right away.
 ITO please him did so, and to my surprise by their use the sore began to heal over, the hair grew over 1t, and to-day she has a nice head of hair, her skin is as fair as lily, and she has no scar left to recall that awful sore, and 1t is over eight months and no sign of its returning" ,s
