With THE
FIGHTERS
(By Jimmy Cullins.)

u intend to give everyone a good
laugh and good time" announced
Brit Mcdonald of the newly organized
olympic Athletic club this morning.
He plans to give series of ameteur
boxing bouts under the auspices of the
club, the first on April 4. He has
arranged for eight events of four rounds
each. Decisions will be given in all.
The fun will start at $3.50 sharp.
Mr. Mcdonald has secured permits
to conduct these amateur shows and to
judge by the hard work he is doing and
the great amount of preparation, he
will certainly deliver the goods to the
entire satisfaction of the boxing fans.

little colored lightweight of the Metro

ing out with the youngsters at the
Olympic club. Turner wrote me the
other day, saying he would fight any
l33-pound man in this section. Hey
ward wants his game. He has boxed
with Turner and knows his style
pretty well. He thinks he can cop
him. Jimmy defeated Streeter in Salt
Lake and as Streeter got decided
decision over Turner it looks as though
he (Heyward) might do the business
with the Seattle favorite.

SCHOMERs ARRESTED

Mike Schomers was arrested in Walla
Walla yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
Hone. He is charged with stealing a
horse from the Mullen ranch about a
month ago.
Schomers is believed by the officers
to be mixed up in more than one horse
stealing deal. Two men, John Forces
ter and Frank Wilson, were arrested
for the theft of the horse from Mullen's
ranch, while Robert Splain was held
to answer to the charge of receiving
stolen property. These men were all
released on March by Justice Stocker.
1t was thought then that a negro,
Barrows, who is now In custody, and
Schomers were the real thieves. The
pinto horse, which Schomers is accused
of having stolen, was traded to Mr..
Carroll and the ms and outs of the
horse dealwere decidedly mixed when
the matter came before Justice Stocker.

DON'T RISK A PENNY.
GET WELL FIRST. r

For 80 years I've been a physician!
l have treated nearly two million
cases.
Surely you'll admit that such ex-
perience must have taught me some
certainties.
And-all that I know Of disease and
cure-all that 1 have proven to be
worth knowing-is condensed into my
six books for the sick.
Write for free copy today.
They tell of my great discovery
that practically all diseases can be
permanently cured through the Sym
pathetic Nerves.
Not the nerves we feel with, see
with. hear with, but the inside nerves.
1t is these that unconsciously oper-
ate the vital organs-the Heart, Liver,
Kidneys, Brain, etc.
When the inside nerves get run
down, that Organ which is weakest
in the. body loses its power to act
properly.
1t then throws its work upon the
other Organs.
These Organs in turn become af-
fected through overwork, and so
scarcely any case Is found without
complications.
1 proved it useless to doctor the
individual Organs themselves while
the Horsepower to fully operate
them was lacking.

wards.
TONES revived the dropping pow
ers, only to insure relapse so soon as
the stimulus was withdrawn.
OF what use to hourly move ahead
the hands of a watch If it's main
spring be seriously weakened?
There Is but one sensible thing to
do. viz: stiffen up the handspring.
That is what my now famous pre-
scription-Dr. Shops Restorative
does.
1t acts directly upon the sympa-
thetic Nerve Centers just as steam
acts In an Engine.
1t provides, through these inside
nerves, the power to make the weak
est organ do its duty.
1t enables weak organs to cast off
their clogging waste matter, and to
repair their worn tissues.

CARRIE NATION BAR
RED FROM CHURCH

KANSAS CITY, Kan, March 81
Carrie Nation is an actress. Many
theatrical managers and people who
have seen her on the stage may not
know 1t, but 1t is so officially de-
creed by no less worthy body than
the trustees of the United Presby-
terrain church.
Mrs. Nation wanted to deliver a
temperance lecture in a church here
and permission was refused because
the deacons decided that she is a
member of the glddy guild of
actresses.
Poor Carrie. on the stage she is
no actress and off the stage she is
one.

GRAVE WAS FULL
OF GOLD COINS

GUADALAJARA, Mex. March 81.
While the school teacher on the
Cuisillos hacienda, a big estate 80 miles
from here, was hearing the lessons of
a class in an ancient church, now used
as the school house, the thing beneath
his chair gave way and he pas precip-
itated into an old grave.
In the dust of the grave were found
Spanish gold pieces to the value OF
about $4,000.
The estate was originally a royal
grant to a Spanish marquis, and it is
recorded that he was buried beneath
the old church. There is no explana-
ton of the gold in the grave except
that in life the marquis was a very
eccentric person.
The grave was cemented over, under
the floor of the church, and the cement
after many generations, gave way under
the weight of the school teacher.
The Cuisillos hacienda is now the
property of Senior Juan Gortazar, OF
this city. The Gortazar family is very
wealthy and the Spanish gold will be
given over to charity.
