Have "eyes bigger than their stomachs, y
according to an old saying. They over
eat themselves, and are tempted by all
sorts of injurious and indigestib1e edi-
bles. AS consequence the foundation
OF serious stomach trouble is often laid
in childhood.
For children with cweak" digestion OF
whose stomachs are diseased, Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery may
be confidently recommended. It cures
diseases of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition, so that the
nourishment contained in food is per-
fectly assimi1ated and the puny child is
built up by food into condition of
robust health.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
contains neither alcohol nor narcotics.
Accept no substitute for Golden Med
1cal Discovery" There is nothing Wiust
as good for diseases Of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition.
Mrs. Ella Gardner, of Waterview, Middlesex
Co, Va, writes: UMy little daughter is enjoying
splendid health, am glad [ found doctor
who could cure my child, Whenever she feels
badly give her DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and she Is soon all right She took
twelve bottles of the Golden Medical Discov-
cry eight bottles of Pellets and one bottle of
of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and she is well
We thank God for your medicine"

c. 7. Higgins Of Pleasant Prairie,
Wants the Legislature to
Regulate Automobiles.
ASKS AID OF ALL FARMERS.
Pioneer in Automobile Fight Plans to
Make Crusade One of State Wide
Fame. Many Petitions Signed.

Charles T. Higgins of the town Of
Pleasant Prairie, who won some little
note short time ago through his eff
forts to organize the farmers of this
county against the SO called invasion
of the automobile, has decided to
make his movement for the regulation
of the motor carriages one Of state
wide significance and to this end he
is planning to have the coming session
of the state Legislature flooded with
petitions from farming communities,
demanding the immediate passage of
some law or laws to regulate the use
of automobiles and motor cars on the
highways of the state. Mr.. Higgins
has been planning this fight against
the auto for full year and he is now
ready to take up the fight and push it
to the last ditch. Pleasant Prairie has
been given the leading place in the
fight, and the farmers of that town al
most to man have signed petition
to the legislature making the demand
for legislation. Mr.. Higgins is salts
fed with the work in his own town
and has already started to work in
other towns in the county. His plans
for the state crusade are completed
and as soon as possible petitions will
be printed and one of these will be
sent to the town chairman of every
town in the state. There is nothing
radical about the petition and it
simply asks that all the farmers in
the state unite to demand some 1egis-
1ation for the protection of the farmer
against the careless auto driver. The
petition does not make any sugges-
tons but leaves the matter wholly in
the hands of the law makers.
Mr.. Higgins in speaking of the petit
tions stated that he would circulate
them at his own expense, and that he
had planned to make a personal can
vass for signatures in several of the
counties of the state.
The Pleasant Prairie man has been
leader in the war, against automo-
bi1es and he is determined that some
action shall be taken by the 1egis1a-
tureto regulate the cars.
At present there is no law in the
state for the regulation of the speed
Of the cars, and none has ever been
presented to the state legislature.
As the legislation will be demanded
by the farmers there is little doubt
but that the legislature will give
some heed to the petitions of Higgins
and his associates. Many of the own
ers of automobiles in this county
would be pleased to see such 1egis1a-
ton enacted if a law could be secured
which would be equally fair to the
farmer and the auto owner.

WILL TRY IT AGAIN
New Series of Base Ball Games
Arranged Between kenosha
and Racine Teams.
PROFITS TO WINNING TEAM.

Kenosha and Racine are to make
another try for the state base ball
championship, and this morning Man
ager Breen of the Kenosha team
signed contract to play three more
games with the team from the Belle
City. The first game of the series is
to be played in Racine on the 18th of
September, and Manager Breen prom
ises to trot team out on the field
that will make the Racine team look
like the proverbial thirty cents. This
series is not to be series for gate re-
ceipts, but a series for blood. There
will be no even split of the profits of
the games, but the managers have
agreed that the winning team shall
take the rs per cent of the gate re-
ceipts, leaving the losers just money
enough to pay for the use of the
grounds.
The second game will be played two
weeks from next Sunday, and sand
wiched insbetween the Kenosha team
will take day off and take fall out
of the Waukegan team, which is be-
ginning to get a little "chesty' again.
The Kenosha team is to have this
one chance to close the season in a
blaze Of glory, and the managers Of
| the team state that there is no doubt
but that the glory will be theirs.
The team is being arranged on a
new basis and the cutters who lost
the gamessto Racine in the last series
will be eliminated. Some heavy hit
tiers are being added to the list and
even the Wanted Heimer1 will not be
enough to keep them from winning
the match.
| Special arrangements will be made
to transport the crowd to Racine on
Sunday and it is thought that the fans
in Kenosha will give the boys this one
more chance to regain all that they
lost in the former series.

report that the japanese were within
days march OF Dalny.
The probability is that the Russians
destroyed the vessels IN the docks at
DalDy.
More junks carrying refugees are COM
ing.
Plans Change.
YINKOw. May 24.-Recent changes In
the Japanese plans are due to their en-
deavor to take Dalny this week.
The present position Of affairs is as
follows:
The Japanese first army has fallen
back and is intrenching at Feng- wang
cheng, General Mistchenko. with 1000
Cossacks. is keeping in touch with the
advanced outposts of the japanese cav
airy in the west. The headquarters OF
Mistchenko's force is at Molten Pass.
Will Attack Kinchow.
The japanese second army is advanc-
ing slowly south from Pitsewo and Port
Adams for a combined attack by land
and sea on Kinchow. II Will be neces-
sary 10 take this position on the neck or
land that connects Kwantung peninsula
with the rest OF the peninsula before
Port Arthur can be invested closely
To this General Fooks win offer most
determined resistance. aided by the
garrisons from Dalny. Talienwan, and
Kinchow. which are falling back south
ward as necessity compels.
The Japanese third army is mobilizing
at Hiroshima.
Part Of the japanese aeet is outside
of Port Arthur and part is in Talienwan
Bay. A Japanese squadron bombarded
the Russian earthwOrks at Kaichow
Bay. afterwards landed a naval brigade
and then re-embarked. These ships are
now at Port Adams Bay cooperating
with the Talienwan Bay squadron

They are preparing for flank attacks
on the Kinchow neck OF land when the

attack.
No advance has been made yet by the
Japanese on Niuchwang or Taschichsao.
All IS quiet here. A small garrison is
