ISSTlLLTHE CHAMP
Johnny CouIon Has Good Lead
Over Kid Murphy in Bat
tie at Peoria.
SETTLES THE BANTAM IT'LL
Second Victory in Three Meetings
With New Yorker-Willie Lewis
Beaten by Jim Donovan.

Peoria, H., Jan. 30.-Johnny Coulon
of Chicago won the rubber" fight
with Kid Murphy of New York for the
bantamweight championship before
Charlie Bartson's club here last night,
having a clean lead over the little Ital-
ian after 10 rounds of fast milling.
The speedy Chicago boy showed that
his victory of few weeks ago in the
same ring was no nuke and proved his
superiority over his veteran rival.
Johrny's speea and cleverness were
too much for Murphy to offset with
his wild swings and aimless rushes.
Johnny landed hard and often and
punished Murphy considerably about
! two victories in three whirls at the
! New Yorker, and he will have to look
| elsewhere for cOntenders for the cham
| piOnship crown. Several aspiring ban
jams issued challenges at the ringside,
land it is likely that Coulon will con-
sent to take one of them on if some
club will offer suitable purse.
| Willie Lewis Loses.
New York. Jan. 30-Jim Donovan
won from Willie Lewis last night in a
fast siX-round battle at the Sharkey
a. c. Both boys fought from the start
of the first round. Up to the fourth
matters were even. In this round
Lewis sent a wicked left to Donovan s
stomach and he became very sick,
but stalled until the bell sounded. He
came up fresh in the fifth and soon OBJ
tanned good lead.
| In the final round Donovan unbelted
a hurricane of swings, jabs and upper
cuts and soon had. Lewis in bad shape
Lewis was all but out when he heard
4 the welcome clang of,the gong.

Has Fought Way to Front
Ghosts" the-Ibsen play that Mary
Shaw is playing with fine strength
this season, will be at the Illinois to-
morrow. The book Ghosts set the
world by the ears at once. One-half
declared the author to be crazy. while
the other half found him unpardonably
immoral. The reviewers cried out
against the introduction on the stage
of the clinic and the insane asylum
with all their horrors" Thirteen years
passed between the first and second
editions of the book. The principal
Scandinavian theaters refused for two
years to have anything to do with the
play. They said they feared a popular
outbreak if they put it on the stage.
August Lindberg, a Swedish actor, had
the audacity in 1888 to organize a
company of his own for the express
purpose of presenting the interdicted
play. His tour through the three
Scandinavian countries was tremen-
dous artistic and financial success. At
Christiania he could get nothing bet
ter than dingy, barn-like vaudeville
theater in one of the suburbs There
gathered night after night all that was
prominent in Norwegian art and let
tiers. The students, not satisfied with
applauding the play, made hostile
demonstrations in front of the National
| theater, and finally broke all the win

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching, Burning Skin Disease Routed
Without Use of Injurious Drugs.


Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets OF
their discoveries. Practically the same
thing happened i'll the medical world
in the case of DR.. Decatur d. Dennis,
the eminent skin specialist Of Chicago
DR.. Dennis, in his own Office prac-
tice. discovered that pure vegetable
oil of wintergreen, properly mixed with
other simple remedies was practically
a sure specific for eczema, psoriasis,
BARRIERS itch, salt rheum and other
itching skin diseases But the oil OF
wintergreen alone was found ineffec-
tive 1t required other mild ingredi-
ents such as glycerine and thymol
compounded with the wintergreen TO
produce the real eczema cure.
This compounded d. d. D. Prescrip-
ton positively lakes away the itch at
once-the instant it is applied to the
skin. This vegetable liquid does away
with deleterious drugs so long used in
an attempt to doctor the blood, where
as modern science has determined that
eczema is first and all the time a skin
disease.
If you want to know more about the
merits of d. D. ID. Prescription, call al
our store. We vouch for this remedy.
