The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was . revelation to the prize fighters,
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but If q scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. DR.. Pierce is bringing
hope to the public q parallel fact; that
th4 AQmacA is the most vulnerable organ
out of the prize ring as well as in It. We
protect Pur, ,h9ads, throats. feet and lungs,

Kansas City, Mo-. May 23.-It is ex-

of the Baldwin locomotive works,

years has given more than $250,OO0
for evangelical work, is said to be the
leader in the movement. The in
ability of Mr.. Converse, John Wana-
maker and Rev. Henry C. Van Dyke
to attend the assembly has caused
general regret.

Paycen Stock COMPANY.


1t is safe to say that the Paycen
Stock company, which will be at the
Air Dome for another week, is one of
the very best stock companies that has
been seen in Topeka and that is saying
a good deal for there have been many
good ones.
This company played to unusually
large audiences during the week just
closing and these audiences were en-
thusiastic with their applause. The
opening bill for the second week will
be that good society drama For Home
and Honor" and the first performance
of this will be given on Sunday night.
This piece gives the women in the COM
pany a chance to display some hand
some toilets which will be sure to
please the feminine contingent in the
audiences.
The specialists with the company.
Hopkins and AxtelI Yuille and Boyd.
and Forrest Wiley, will put on new
series of vaudeville stunts between
the acts and if their new ones compare
in any way with the ones that they
have put on this week they will be
whole show in themselves. 1t is seldom
that such high class vaudeville acts are
put on by stock companies.
Miss Machel May Clarke, the leading
woman with the company, is making a
great reputation for herself with To-
pekans with her versatile ability as an
actress. She is equally clever in COM
edy and emotional work.

Power of the Press.
Discussing the Importance of edu-
cational church literature, Rev. B. P.
Fullerton, the moderator said:
'The press is the greatest power in
the country today. It's influence is
everywhere, it is the university of the
people. Presbyterians in their optim-
| ism are too apt to conclude that with
this great power directing public af-
fairs, all would be we'll and have re-
laxed their efforts in the matter of
educational literature. The church
needs to lay more emphasis on relig-
| ious education. The board of publi-
! cation is deyoting it's energies to this

fective results come through the

| That more than half a million dol
| lars have been collected and disbursed
to the several funds to which the wo-
mems board of home missions con-
! tributed during the last year, was
shown by report from that society.
A popular evangelistic meeting will
| be held in convention hall tonight at
which Rev. j. Wilbur Chapman will
will be under the direction of Charles
M. Alexander of Birmingham, Eng

| The visiting delegates will be given
an automobile ride this afternoon over

contributed for the purpose by local

| The discussion of the report brought
4 out the statement that there are only
$500 ministers in the church who re-
| ceive salary of over s., 900 year and
there are 5000 who receive less than
| that amount. DR.. w. L. Darby of

| ceived less than $500 year.

Score Of 10 to o; Big Crowd Witness
cd the Game Which Was Played
On GrIdiron Saturday.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
There was rejoicing in the Mankato
camp Saturday night as a result of the
victory over the foot ball team from
Lake Crystal. The locals won by a
score of 10 to 0. The Lake Crystal
team arrived at one o'clock and were
taken to the "Y" where preparations
We're made for the game. By three
o'clock the crowd had gathered to wit
ness the final game of the sea-
son. To the side line observer
there was little difference in the weight
of the line up as Mankato won the toss
and chose to defend the north goal.
After about ten minutes of play by
series of line plunges the Mankato
boys went over for the first touch
down. Goal was kicked Score 5 to O.
Nothing more was done in the first
half and time was called with the ball
near the middle of the field.
The Second Half.
The second half led off well and in
less than four minutes Mankato had
scored another touchdown off the Lake
Crystal boys. No goal. Score 10 to 0.
The ball was in Lake Crystal terri
tory the remainder of this half, as it
had been during the first half, and the
score does not at all give comparison
of . the strength of the two
teams. Lake Crystal made first
down only once on a long quar-
terback run, the Mankato ends played
good defensive game, and Norman,
the Crystal star didn't have chance
to get away. Mankatos back field
were good for from three to fifteen
yards almost any time and the line
weakened only once spelling an attempt
ed forward pass.
With the Saturdays game the season
closes leaving Mankato winner in
four of the six games played.

Elmore, Nov. 2l.-The Gilmore Eye
has been sold to Elmer Enge of this
place and the buyer will take charge
of it the first of next month. Mr..
Bruss, the former editor, has had the
paper about ten years. The new owner
will put in a new set of machinery and
new type. The politics of the paper will
remain the same as it has been.
The Gilmore Cement & Tile company
has so many orders ahead that they
have been compelled to put in steam
heat so that they can run all winter.
This is one of the best business insti-
buttons in this part of the state and
the stock in the company has jumped
from 500 to $3.50 per share.
There is not an empty business place
in Gilmore at the present time and
persons find it very hard to rent
dwelling houses. A new restaurant
opened up this week. The Gilmore bank
which closed last spring on account of
the new banking, will be reopened the
first of the year as a state bank and
this will again give Elmore two banks.
