LEIGH HUNT PLANNING
TO RAISE S25;OOO,OOO
Noted American Capitalist Hopes
to Make That Much by Grow
ing Cotton in Soudan.
PROJECT TO AID BRITISH

NEW YORK. March 4.-Romantic as has
been the story of the successes and failures
of Leigh Hunt, friends who believe in him
predict that more romantic successes are in
store for him in the future. His latest
project is the development of a great agri-
cultural empire in the valley of the upper
Nile for the raising of Egyptian cotton.
With the government of Egypt and the
English influence at his back, he has his
plan well started, and the cotton growers
of the United States have in him most
formidable rival. He intends to take to
the Soudan a large number of negro farm
ers from the United States, and in the
course of few years expects to have
100000 acres under cultivation.
When he gets this, the largest plantation
in the world, in operation, he expects to
give a death blow to cotton corners and
TO supply the markets of the United King
dom with the cotton for which it now de-
ponds On the United States.
Leigh Hunt. not many years ago was a
schoolteacher in Iowa. He became presi-
dent Of the Iowa Agricultural College. He
decided TO go further West and seek his
fortune and selected Seattle as the point
where he should make his first attempt
He became newspaper proprietor there
and speculated in real estate. Those were
the boom days, and he accumulated
money fast and real estate faster He
was in a few years worth several million
dollars. The panic of 1898 ruined him, and
Mr. Hunt awoke one morning TO find him
self without a dollar and owing million.
Instead of being crushed, adversely only
served TO bring out the strong points in
the man. He turned his back to the
United States and went to the Orient.
After wandering through Japan and China
looking for an opportunity to retrieve his
fortunes he went to Korea. and there he
found il.
LOCATED GOLD-BEARING QUARTZ.
He located gold-bearing quartz I'm large
quantities in the mountains of Korea and
set about turning his information to adj
vantage He finally obtained a concession
from the King of Korea, by which he and
those associated with him were to operate
the mines which it was proposed to estab-
lish and the King was TO receive % per
cent of the net receipts.
Money was needed to develop the project.
While crossing the Pacific Mr. Hunt by
chance met and became acquainted with

CHICAGO, March 4.-The bout between
Benny Yanger and Aureho Herrera, set for
next Monday night at the reopening of the
American Club bids fair to be one of the
most sensational battles of the season.
Herrera. who has always asserted his be-
lief in his own ability to put Yanger on the
shelf where he laid Broad and Mowatt
is fighter of different style and caliber
from anyone Benny has ever had to face.
He works a vicious left uppercut, a cross
ing right hook, and keeps an elbow always
protecting his body, making a combination
both offensive and defensive, which seems
tougher than anything the Italian has
been asked to tackle.

Why Appenoicitis7

Why is appendicitis so common to.
.day3
Because we have got into the per
nicious habit of eating too fast.
DR.. Curtis, the great authority on
this disease, says: Appendicitis often
follows the eating of a very hastily, or
particularly large or indigestible
meal. -
After carelessly following a foolish
custom you can insure your safety by
taking Stuart's dyspepsia Tablets.
1t is an accepted scientific truth,
which admits of no dispute, that if you
will only keep your digestive apparatus
in good order, you will never suffer
from this dread disease, which, at best
means weakening operation, with
long weeks wasted in bed, and big doe
tors and surgeons bills to pay as souv'
enirs.
Keep your appendix in health by the
proper use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's, whenever you have laid yourself
open to danger by overeating, and up
on the least sign Of stomach or intes'
final trouble, for otherwise, at any
time, this dangerous disease may lay
you low.
The curative influence Of this great
medicine is quickly shown in the gen
tie, soothing effect it has on all in
famed conditions of any part of the
digestive tract.
Stuart g Dyspepsia Tablets tone all
these parts up to a proper condition of
perfect health, and regulate their
functions into a proper working state
They also make away with all the
causes Of irritation, Inflammation or in
digestion by helping to dissolve, digest
and assimilate, or put TO proper use,
all the food which is lying around in
odd corners Of your digestive appa'
ratus, fermenting rotting and curdling,
like so much garbage in a dirty sink.
In these natural and perfectly sim
pie ways, stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
restore all sufferers from any form Of
dyspepsia trouble TO health.
They are safe and reliable. Thoy
never fail to relieve and cure, quickly
and permanently
Use them, and you need never worry
about your appendix vermiformix.
