Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-08-13

Jack Johnson, tired of chasing a phantom match with Tommy Burns, has come down to terra frma again and now says he is ready to, meet Sailor Burke for six rounds.
 It is, believed the fight will be pulled off at Steeplechase park, near Bridge port, on Labor day. This club is said to have offered the largest bid for the scrap and preparations are under way to have the fight decided there.
 Other bids are under consideration, but they must be of great sum be- fore the Bridgeport plan is given up.
 When Johnson was questioned as to his chances of fighting Tommy Burns, he said:
 I'm going to fight Burke on La Dor day. If Burns wants to fight me he will have to wait till some time another fight scheduled for August ?, around Thanksgiving day I have when am to meet Jim Barry of Chi cago"
 Articles calling for 'le meeting of Johnson anl Burke were signed some time ago, but were practically passed up when Johnson fiatly refused to meet Burke, lut insisted on fighting Burns.
 Willis Lewis, the New York fighter end challenger of Sailor Burke landed a light right-hand swing on Jack Rob- inson's jaw in the second round at the Dry Dock Athletic club last night and the latter fell to tic floor ane remain ed there more than a minute.
 Robinson had much the better of the first round. He jabbed and swung on Lewis's face at will but none of his blows had force enough to knock down a bantam. Lewis played solely for his opponents body and landed several apparently hard punches.
 Few cheered the. victor and several hissed Robinson. More than thou sand persons were in the club house.
 The semi-fnal bout between Leshy Cross and Joe Gordan was the fastest bout of the night. Each pummelled the other for five rounds. when Gordon be- came exhaused and the referee stopped the bout Joe Hyland and Young Lee fought draw. Billy" Bestig defeat ed Young Dunsted and Frankie Shee- han beat Joe Schwartz.

an unfrequented ~thoroughfare they
discovered that a man was following
them. They FASTENED their steps, but
he followed close to their heels.
Finally the women stopped and.
waiting for the man TO come up, asked
him what he wanted. He replied by
attempting to snatch the purse of one

$50 in bills, and the woman decided To
put up a fight for it. She gave the
would-be thief a terrific rap over the
head with a heavy hand satchel she
carried, telling him to the ground.
The other sister meanwhile had
crossed the street, where she broke a
window and succeeded i'm arousing the

rushed into st. Luke's hospital, which
was nearby. and both went into hys-

VARSITY ROW is DYING.
Public Investigation Of Students
Chapel Prank Is Dropped.

The excitement caused by students
removing 500 chairs from the univer-
sity chapel and smearing the faculty
chairs with honey, preventing Presi-
dent Gault from giving his annual
semester address, has subsidized. No
public investigation will be held, .but
an effort is beinf made to get the
names OF the offenders.
The students action. it is claimed,
was the elimination of an outburst OF
feeling, having its origin in the re-
mcval Of President Droppers OF South
Dakota university. Tuesday students
stole the chairs from the chapel and
refused to listen to the address OF
President Gault.
When President Gault went to
chapel the chairs were gone and there
was nothing for the handful Of stu
dents who followed him to sit on but
the floor. The president then went to
the armory, where he delivered part
of his address.
While on the surface the affair had
the appearance of a prank, there is "A
personal feeling beneath il which is
directly traced to the friends of Drop
pers. An investigation was ordered.

SEEK SECOND ENTRY.
Settlers Want Bill to Extend Their
Rights to Homesteads.

Settlers residing in Lyman county
have inauguratcd a movement TO have
congress enact the necessary legisla-
ton which will permit homesteaders
who haYe made Communication proof
on government lands In Western
South Dakota to make a second home
stead entry. In ONE quarters it is be-
lieved that the old settlers. those
who have resided on their homesteads
for five years and then made final
proof, also should be included. 1t is
pointed ont that the settlers who have
resided in Lyman and other counties
in the newer portion OF the state all
these years are largely responsible
for the the fact that farm land In those
sections is mor valuable. Petitions
soon will be circulated, and when
signed they will be sent to the South
Dakota representatives in congress
with the request that bills be intro
duced and pushed through congress.

u. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe.ru.na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh2 Have we
abundant proof that Peruna 10 in real
ity such a catarrh remedy? Let US see
what the United States Dispensatory
says Of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia lea
tarrh Of the stomach, chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, lea
tarrh of the liver and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic organs.
1t Is also recommended for the treat
ment of various forms of diseases pc
culiar to women.
Another ingredient Of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispen satory as a tonic. So also
Is cubebs classed as a stomachic and 40
a tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient Of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispen satory says of the action
of cedron that it Is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysentery,
and in intermittent diseases as q sub
stitute for q~uinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient Of
Peruna, is classcd by the United States
Dispen satory as a mild stimulant and
diuretic. 1t acts on the stomach and
intestinal tract. 1t acts as a stimu-
liant on the genito-urinary membranes.
Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys-
EMERY and diarrhea, and some chronic
diseases of the liver and kidneys.
Send to us for a free book of testimo-
malls of what the people think of Pc
runa as a catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony of those who
have tried it.
