Schreck of Cincinnati knocked out John
Willie of Chicago in the 18th round of
their finish battle here last night. The
fight was one of the fastest ever seen
in the Sage Brush state and time with
out number is seemed as if one man or
the other would be knocked out, but
just when the end seemed near, a bril-
Liant rally would turn the tide and
make the aggTessOr cover up TO save
himself.
The fact that the men were forced to
wear seven-ounce gloves. the only kind
| that could be found in the town. was
the reason the battle went as far as il
did, for both men were punished sc
yerely.

Penny POSTAGE,

A bill was recently introduced to per-
nit packages to be sent through the
mails as first class matter up to four
pounds. and the postage to be two cents
for the first ounce and one cent extra
for each additional ounce. This is the
first step toward penny postage which
must ultimately come. The first step
toward good health is made when the
sick man or woman takes the first dose
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and if
given a fair chance will ultimately
make them well again. At least this
has been the experience of thousands
of others during the past So years. and
it is just as effective today. Start at
once. You'll find it excellent in cases
of fiatulency, cramps, sour risings, dys-
pepsia, indigestion. costiveness. female
ills or liver troubles. We guarantee it
pure.
