MCCOY WANTS FITS GAME
Hoosier Anxious TO Fight the Veteran
Cornishman.

New York, March 18.-It has prac-
tically been settled that Bob Fitzsim-
mons win tackle Kid Mccoy in the
near future. 1t is understood that Fitz-
simmons has promised Mccoy fight
when he returns to the ring.
It is persistently rumored along
Broadway that Mccoy and Fitzsiin-
mons will come together in San Fran
cisco the latter part of May or early in
June.
Mccoy is anxious for a go with. Fitz-
simmons. He believes he can defeat the
Cornishman and is ready to sign ar
ticles at once for fight. Fitzslmmons
has already announced his intention to
fight again, but he has not stated whom
he will meet. In anticipation of a match
in the near future, however, he has
started to train, so that he will not be
caught mapping.
The reason Fitzsimmons is holding
off from Mccoy at present is that he
wants to see what kind of a showing
the Hoosier will make with Placke, the
Hollander If successful in this fight
it is almost certain that Mccoy and
F'itzsimmons will clash.
Mccoy is confident of securing a
match In speaking of Fitzsimmons to-
day Mccoy said:
''Fitz is the one man I want to fight.
He has practically assured me that he
will take me on, so I suppose he is in
training so as to be ready to meet me
after my go with Placke. / consider
Fitz a tough proposition, but have al
ways believed that could defeat MIN
and nothing would please me better
than to meet him in the ring.

DRANK CONCENTRATED LYE.
Causes Slow, Painful Death of a
Jewell City Woman.

Jewell City, Kan, March 1S.-Mrs.
NJ. F. Knappenberger was buried yes
terday. About seven weeks ago she at
tempted suicide by taking concentrated
lye; slow, torturing death. was the re-
suit.
Mrs. Knappenberger was the daugh-

Mankato. She also has three daugh-
ters, all of whom are grown to woman
hood, and are competent and capable
young ladies. About fifteen months ago
Mr.. M. F. Knappenberger died, af-
ter a long illness, since which time
Mrs Knappenberger's health declined
rapidly. She was pretty woman,
cheerful and pleasant, nearly sixty
years of age.
The Jewell lecture course will consist
of three more numbers-Dr. Wigon on
March %, DR.. Quayle April Z, and April
so the Rooney boys, who promise an
unusual Entertainment
DR.. w. T. Sutcliff, who has been a
competent and successful physician at
this place for several years, has sold
his practice to DR.. Spain of BelOit, and
will abandon the practice of medicine
and locate somewhere else to engage
in business more agreeab BILE to his
health. Jewell regrets to lose DR.. and
Mrs. Sutcliff. both of whom are socfa-
BILE, obliging people. Mrs. Sutcliff is
devoted to art, doing capable work in
oil and water colors, typography and
china painting. DR.. Spain comes more
directly from Rawlins, Wyoming, but
his home is in Beloit.
The Jewell school has compiled a
commendable amount of graded work
for the Kansas educational exhibit at
the ST. Louis exposition. Judging from
what we saw and heard of it, we think
the first primary pupils did the best of
al considering the difference in ages.

Britt Declares Corbett Can Not
Rattle Him.
No Amount of "Joshing" Will
Make Him Lose Temper
SCALES SHOW HIM 1856
Thinks He Can Easily Get Down
to Required $50 Pounds.
Fight to Be Pulled Off in Frisco
Friday Night, March %.

San Francisco, March 1S.-Jimmy
Britt was angry today because some
people had said that Young Corbett
would josh him in the ring so much
that he would lose his temper
I never pretended to be a .josher.' -
said James Edward 81 am going into
this fight to beat Young Corbett, and
that is all there is to it, Joshing' never
won fight yet but I guess that the
best iiosher' after all will be the man
who gets the decision"
So saying Britt submitted himself to
the skillful hands of Spider Kelly and
under the influence of a soothing rub
down he regained his good temper.
Britt took things fairly easy yester-
day. He did no road work at all but
he put in stiff hour in the afternoon
IN his gymnasium. Before this he
obliged a moving picture man with a
shadow fight a medicine ball throwing
exhibition with Spider and a sDarring
contest with Frank Rafael. 1t was all
done out on the lawn at Crolls place
in Alameda. Afterward ordinary ap-
paratuS was employed and a set-to of
four hard rounds with Rafael was the
least of his troubles
When Britt jumped on the scales
clad only in the robe with which nature
provided him the best he could make
was a Scant 135.
It'll be no trouble for me to make
that five pounds" said the native son.
You see haven't dieted at all so far;
In fact / have eaten anything want
ed to within reason. I'm going to do
all my work with all my strength and
VIII take no chance of weakening my
self. II wanted to / could take off
three pounds tomorrow morning"

AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY.
So Thinks at Least One travelling Mar

| would as soon think of starting out
without my mileage books and grip as
to start out on a trip without box
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in my va
lise, said a travelling man who repre-
sents st. Louis hardware house.
Why? Because 1 have to put up at all
kinds of hotels and boarding houses. 1
have to eat good, bad and Indifferent
food at all hours of the day and night
and I don't believe any mans stomach
will stand that sort of thing without
protest, anyway l know mine won't. 1t
has to have something to break the fall
and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
crutch I fall back on.
My friends often Josh me about it,
tell me I'm an easy mark for patent
medicine takers, that advertised medi-
cines are humbugs, ETC., but l notice
that they are nearly always complain
ing of their aches and pains and poor
digestion, while l can stand most any
old kind of fare and feel good and
raedy for my work when it needs me,
and 1 believe I owe my good digestion
and sound health to the daily, regular
use of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, year
in and year out, and all the "joshing'
in the world will never convince me to
the contrary.
/ used to have heartburn about three
times day and headache about three
or four times a week and after stand
ing for this for four or five years be-
gan to look around for a crutch and
IouliQ IL When my DOCTOR told me the
best investment 1 could make would be
a fifty cent box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and l have invested about
fifty cents a month for them ever since
and when I stop to think that that is
what / spend every day for cigars, I
feel like shaking hands with myself
for 1 can keep my stomach and diges-
ton in first class order for fifty cents
a month. I don't care for any better
| life insurance.
My druggist tells me they are the
most popular of all stomach medicines
and that they have maintained their
popularity and success because they do
as advertised. They bring results. and
results are what count in patent medi-
cine as much as In selling barbwire.
