Racing at Lexington.

Lexington, Ky, Oct. 12.-Tom AK
worthy. a prohibitive favorite, cap
tured the Mcdowell stake for Agar
old trotters. worth $4,000, in the first
heat of the three-heat race, and by
distancing the other two horses, took
first, second and third money. 1t was
a feat never before accomplished in a
stake race on the Lexington track.
The track was very heavy. Tom AK
worthy drew the pole in the Mcdowell
race, but the nearest he could get to
the fence on account of the mud pud-
dies was two sulky widths. No pools
were sold on him before the race and
tie betting was Tom Axworthy l to 5.
Lady Pauline G.. and Oak Blossom
were to 1 each.
The 2:16 trotting race, unfinished
was the first race called. Mainland
and Willard Sanders had each won two
heats In the pooling Mainland sold
for $50 and the field for $46. Willard
Sanders won the heat and race, with
length to spare. The 2:0S class,
pacing, was won by King Direct, the
,fayorite. The 2:09 class, trotting%was
unfinished on account of darkness.

Got His Old Gun Back.

While taking part in a sham bat
tie at Towanda, Pa, twenty-eight years
ago, someone stole Capt Sweeney s
gun which he endeavored to find
without success. While he was on his
way to Boston to the national G. A. R.
encampment he visited at Towanda
and the members of his company gave
him a banquet. During the course
of the evening the disappearance of
the gun was spoken of. Then Mr.. Guy
Holland confessed to stealing the
weapon. and as the joke on the captain
was pretty old he promised to send
the gun to Dodge, which he has done.
The gun is an old Springfield and was

Bout Between Joe Cans and
Britt Goes to Frisco.
Winner to Receive rs Per Cent
and Loser % Per Cent.
ARE TO BOX 20 ROUNDS
Both Men to Weigh in 1873
Pounds at RingsIde.
Present Betting Odds Are on
the Californian.

San Francisco, Oct 12.-There was
great rejoicing among the sports here
when it became known that Jimmy
Britt and Joe Cans had finally agreed
upon terms for a fight. They are TO
box 20 rounds. and the weight is to be
13S pounds at the ringside. This is the
lowest weight Cans has made in years.
The winner is to receive 10 per cent
and the loser % pei. cent, in case Britt
wins. If Cans wins, the winner and
loser will split the purse. Britt de-
manded these conditions. as he con-
siders himself the drawing card.
The articles for the fight expressly
stipulate that the fight shall take
place in San Francisco. This point was
suggested by AL Herford, seconded by
Britt and readily assented to by Man
fact, the promoters readiness in lend
ing acQuiescence to clause was not
only surprising, but significant. The
supervisors have stated they would
no more permits.
No permit has yet been granted for
October, although petitions have been
in the boards possession for some time
and the police committee has not even
recommended granting of permit And
yet in the face of these discouraging
facts Coffroth last night agreed for
Shasta club to pull off the fight in San
Francisco, and named October 81 as
the night, but HEREFORD wanted to know
more than had been set down.
Are you sure you can get a permit
for this month"; he asked. II have
no reason to believe I will not replied
Coffroth. weighing every word.
Coffroth's general attitude was that
of man who has been given assur-
ance of support and is sure of the
ground he selects for walking.
Unless betters come a plenty with
their money for Jimmy Britt the dap

In bis fight with negro Joe Cans, sche-
duIed for the last day in this month
before the Shasta Athletic club. Even
money is the way it now looks for the
night of the fight, and if not at those
odcs IT is likely to be about 10 to 8,
with the Baltimore negro on the short
end.
Only one wager of any Importance
was posted today. Dick Adams put up
$500 even money with Johnny Lyons
that Cans would win. Lyons wanted
to back Britt to the extent of $1,000 at
the same terms, but could find no TAX
ers. Harry Corbett is acting as stake
holder.
Britt has not decided on his training
quarters yet He favors CrolFs Gar
den, Alameda, and will probably go
there. He has been keeping in good
condition. and tomorrow will start
light road work, weather permitting, IN
San Mateo, where he has been living
for the past three weeks.

PUT ON TOO MANY AIRS.
Colored Man Explains Why His HON,
Was Burned.

Atchison. Kan, Oct. 1.-THE home of
Abram Kerford at 626 Washington
street, was set on fire in two places by
an incendiary in the early morning.
The fire department extinguished the
flames with small damage. Kerford is
the father of George Kerford, foreman
of the Waggener rock quarry. Some
days ago the elder Kerford received an
anonymous letter in which the writer
said Kerford was putting on too many
airs, and was too far above other COL
ored people The writer said that, this
situation being obnoxious, Kerford s
house would be burned. Kerford show
ed the letter to the city attorney. 1t
was thought hardly possible that the
writer would carry his threat into ex-
ecutiOn.

September Month of Surprises
I'm Oil Fields.
Four Hundred and Seventy
four Wells We're Completed.
ONLY 71WERED BUSTERS
Made New Production on Market
of 1887 Barrels.
Oct. / There Were 81 New Rigs
and 81 Wells Drilling.

independence, Kas., Oct. 1.-THE
Reporter says:
Septenber was a month of surprises.
Many stirring events took place IN the
Kansas-Territory fields, such as the
striking of big gas wells, re-classln-
cation of oil pools, ETC., but there was
no greater surprise than the discovery
that more wells were completed IN
September than in. any other month
since early last spring. Inc state
ment has frequently been made that
field work was on the decline The
Reporter has steadfastly contended
that work was starting up in new
places as fast as it was being suspend
ed in others, and the report winch
follows bears out this theory
During September 472 wells were
completed, of which Al were gasserS
and II were dry. The new produe-
ton amounted to 1887 barrels Inc
average production per producing well
was 20.5 barrels; not quite SO high an
average as some months back, put
probably due to the scaling down or
estimates. There is a strong tendency
among operators to over-est1mate,
and for several months The Reporter
has been trying to get the estimated
production down to where IT ought TO
be. There are more 5-barrel wells
than 10-barrel wells and more 1O-Dar-
rel wells than 20
AS usual, Montgomery county led
all other counties in the amount OF
work completed. In September 135
wells were drilled, of which 3 were
gassers and 81 busters. The new pro-
duction was 1850 barrels, an average
of II barrels per producing well.
Chautauqua county came next with
II competitions gas and dry-and
average production of these wells was
% barrels.
Neosho county, known as the Cha
mute field, came. next with SIS wells
completed, 2 gassers, one buster, and
SIT barrels new production. The ave-
rage production was 1913 barrels.
Miami county completed 46 barrels
and the new production was 549 bar
rels. an average of almost IL barrels
to the well.
In the Indian Territory there were
SIS competitions in September Three
were gassers and 10 were dry. The
total new production was 2,O47 bar
rels and the average was 4S.7 barrels,
the largest anywhere in the entire
field.
Two new districts came prominent
Iy into notice during September. They
were Cleveland, Ok. and Paola, Mi

ties will witness more development
this winter, while great deal of work
will be done in Cherokee and Ok

In the matter of new work on Sep
TENDER 80. there were 81 new rigs and
317 wells drilling, making a total of

as the June report showed.

MISSOURI TIGERS O. K.
Football Eleven in Condition for the
Haskell Game.

Columbia, Mo-, Oct. 12-With the exc
ception of Hedrick, the little quarter
back who was hurt in the game with
Simpson Friday, every member of the
Tiger team appeared on the field in
good condition this week to begin the
work of final preparation for the game
with the Indians next Saturday. He'd
rick has been, in the hospital since the
game, but was out on the field Tues
day, and though he was not allowed to
put on a suit, he did a little work at
passing the ball. He will be out for the
practice hereafter and expects to be i'll
condition to get in the game Saturday.
Akerson has recovered from his tnJur-
les and looks to be in prime condition
now for a great game .-ss--
In the lineup for the practice this
week it is probable that the varsity
appears as it will go through the work
the remainder of the season, though IL
is not certain that there Will not pc
changes from time to time. The one
significant change that appears in the
team as it stands now is that Gentry
kle and put in one of the end positions
for the varsity. Gentry is fast enough
for an end and has the weight to hold
the position in good shape Placing
him there adds some weight to the
team as he is heavier than any of the
other candidates for the position. Hans
Wulff, who was expected to take the
place at end, has decided not to enter
the game llltS L 4eASAAie7
the place removes the necessity of
breaking into the trio which has been
doing the work in the back field, and
Tillman may thus stay in the place
with Green and Akerson. In these
times the Tigers have a back field that
will shine.
The complete lineup as it now APP
pears is: Bigger, left end; Caruthers,
left tackle; Forster, left guard; Currie,
center; Anderson, right guard; Hag-
gard, (captain), right tackle; Gentry,
left half; Akerson, fullback; Green,
right half.
Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 12.-Footban
practice at Haskell institute has been
exceptionally slack this week on ac-
count of the injuries the Indians re-
ceived in the game with Kansas last
Thursday Preparations for the game
with Missouri at Kansas City next
Saturday, have hardly begun and the
red men will not have as easy a game
with the Tigers as has been expected.
Coach Herrnstein thinks that MIS-
souri, will be q. very much harder pro-
position than Kansas was. The Has
keu players had a chance to study the
Jayhawkers' style of playing before
their game, but in Missouri they VIII
find an unknown opponent The Tigers
have played no teams that Haskell has
not and there has been no chance at
all to get a line on the Missouri men.
A new man. Russell White Bear, of
the Chillicothe Indian school, has join
ed the Haskell line and he viii no
doubt be tried against Missouri. Felix.
the little center, will be out or the

ON THE SAFETY OF
OVER EATING
The Rule of Choosing the Lesser of
Two Evils Applies to the
500 - Way You Eat.

I want to know how a man is tc
know when he has had enough?
The Pilgrim Fathers, I believe, had
quaint saying to the effect that you
should always rise from the table feel
ing as if you could eat some more.
But the question is, how much
more?
Just when to stop?
That's the point.
The rule is wrong, because it's no
rule at all.
1t is inexact and unscientific.
1t is likely to lead to the dangerous
habit of eating too little.
And eating too little-or digesting
too little, which amounts to the same
Things the cause of nine-tenths OF
the diseases from which humanity suf-
fers today.
What is disease?
1t is simply uneven balance between
waste and repair.
Some organ lacks strength to carry
on the special work for which it was
created.
Where shall it find the strength it
lacks?
In drugs?
Ten thousand time, NO!
Better die than become a hopeless
drug fend.
No; in food.
But" you say, 81 eat a plenty of
good food every day!"
True, dear friend; but you don't di-
And food, undigested. is mere
poison.
So. to make food do you good. you
must take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
The great thing about Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets is, that their action does
not depend upon stimulative druggery.
They cannot create a habit.
They contain no ingredients to 'pick
you up" tone up your nervous sys-
tenn or furnish whip energy, by call
ing ont VOI1r vital reserve force.
They create new strength. force and
energy-out of your Food.
If taken starving, they will do you
no good at all.
SO, eat to live. and live to eat, with
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
The curse of our present civilization
is exhaustion.
And exhaustion, whether of brain,
nerves, physical strength, or vital
force, is caused by starvation.
OF two evils, it is better to overeat
(and prevent indigestion with Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, than to rise from
repair the exhaustion of your vital
forces.
For exhaustion or starvation leads
to the most varied forms of sickness
or disease, brought on by inability of
the weakened vitality to counteract the
disease-poisons, and microbes
Whereas the well-fed and we'll
nouriShed person, without ever feel1ng
the worse for 1T. can expose h1msef 10
dangers, the mere thought of which
would drive the weak, starving dys-
peptic into a panic fit.
Good food. well digested, is the great
secret of a healthful existence here on
earth.
So eat heartily, every day, of the
best food you can get, and regulate the
working of your digestive machinery
with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
AS a result, you will be astonished
- he ctr
YOU feel, how much more and better
work you can do, how much more
pleasure you will get out of life, and
how your old enemy, that chronic
trouble which has fastened upon your
weak spot, wherever it is, will up and
away. and ever after leave you in
peace, health and comfort.
There's more truth than poetry in
all this.
Try It once.
