A Good Campaign Sona.

At the big Bryan meeting held at
Sioux City last week new campaign
song was sprung and sung by male
quartet and more than 1000 voices
joined in the chorus, the big audience
going wild with enthusiasm. The music
ia that good old tune Marching Through
Georgia."
Election time is nearing and electors
should take note,
That trusts and corporations hold this
country by the throat,
You can smash these combinations by
depositing your vote
For William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska.
Chorus.
Hurrah! Hurrah! For true democracy;
Hurrah! Hurrah! From trusts he'll set
us free;
We welcome to Sioux City, our next
president to be,
William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska.
The farmers and the laborers, the tillers
of the soil;
The miners and mechanics and the hon
est sons of toll;
Our country's wealth producers all their
plumber schemes will foil,
By voting for Bryan of Nebraska.
They are coming from the factory, the
workshop and the mine;
The working, toiling millions all are
falling into line,
To crush the corporations and defeat
the trust combine,
By voting for Bryan of Nebraska.
From Mississippi valley and from Rocky
mountain chain;
From grand Pacific ocean down to
broad Atlantic main;
From gulf and lake and prairie we will
muster once again,
Shouting for Bryan of Nebraska.
Then democrats and populists and work.
ers now prepare;
To make the corporations and law
breakers all beware;
And place our peerless leader in the
presidential chair,
William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska.
Chorus.
Hurrah Hurrah! For true democracy;
Hurrah Hurrah! He'll set the nation
free;
Well place him in the White House
where OF right he ought to be,
William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska.

How to Cure
Your Piles
Due Often To Carelessness or Neglect
and Stubborn to Cure

1.-THE knife Is not always necessary to
cure even desperate cases of piles" says
a physician whose years and experience
make him an authority. Indeed" he
says further: II have known some very
aggravated cases of long standing cured
by simple home remedy that restored
to the bowels easy natural daily move
ments."
And the doctor is right, as many letters
from cured people in various parts Of
the country prove. If sufferers from
piles, rectal tumors and ulcers would try
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin they would
often save themselves the terrible pain
and danger and the heavy expense Of a
severe surgical operation.
Piles are often due to constipation
and are always aggravated by it. Easy
natural movements of the bowels such
as are invariably produced by this fam
Gus laxative without pain or grippe do
much to restore normal, healthy condl-
ton to the bowels and thus cure piles.
M. H. Miller, Moweaque, ILL.,, says: II
have been troubled all my life with piles
brought on by constipation. tried many
doctors and numerous remedies, but
found no relief until used DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. I have used it as lax
alive and stomach remedy for the past
nine years and have no more troubles with
piles" H. N. John, Minneapolis, Kan, says
he suffered for four years with piles which
were so bad that he could not work.
Four bottles of DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pep
sin cured him, and he says he has not
been bothered since.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a safe
sure remedy for constipation, restoring
easy natural daily movements in the
worst old chronic cases, yet SO mild and
pleasant to take mothers give 1t to their
babies with splendid results. 1t is sold
by all druggists at SOC and s1.00 per
bottle. Pepsin Syrup Co.. 3O2 Caldwell
Bldg, Monticello, ILL.,. will send free
sample to anyone who has not used 1t
and will give it fair trial.

John Brown of Charlton was here
last week and he says the guarantee Of
bank deposits has caught the Swedes
of his county, Lucas, till they are fall

Not SO very long ago, the Charlton

New York Press. 1t is not the same old
Bryan for he was young Bryan in 1896.
Bryan is today supported by SO out Of
every 100 Democrats who opposed him
in 1896. They were opposed to him
on the silver question. Nature having
eliminated that question, the Demo-
Gratis are now all united.

Old Sport Sees Iowa Grappler
on a Tour for Easy
Money.

1 see Frank Gotch is h~ippodroming.
You know the wrestler. He stands out
today as the most prominent mat artist
in America. AS sudden as was his en-
rance into the game, SO will his end
ing be. There is nothing to it. Frank
Gotch will meet his Waterloo when he
faces the Russian Lion" Hacken-
schmidt. One of two things will hap
pen-he either will sprain his big toe
or else Hack will win.
1 don't care a cobbler's cuss word If
you are "a friend of Gotch. He is no
match for the fellow over in England,
who has made a fortune at the Crap
piers game. And how did he make it
all? It's simple. The big Lion has
always been on the level. OF all the
wrestlers / know, and you couldn't
count them if you had a double set of
hands, Hack is the only fellow who has
any claim to honesty on the mat. Now
don't go telling me about Tom Jenkins,
Farmer" Burns, Professor Dwyer,
ATLAS Yousoff and the rest of them.

A MOVE TOWARD The PROTECTION OF JERSEY GAME

State. Austin Colgate, the chairman OF
the fish and game committee in the
House, was also or hand. George W.
Batten, Of Montclair, president of the
New Jersey Sportsmen's Association,
was in the chair, and Edward Winslow,
also OF Montclair, acted as secretary.
The measures approved this after
noon, and which will now be submitted
to the Legislature with the full ap-
prevail of the Fish and Game Commits
sion, are as follows:
The non-sale of game bill.
The license measure, providing a IL
cense of 81 for resident sportsmen,
$1,000 for nonresident and $1,000 for
alien hunters: this to include the shoot
ing of wild fowl.
The anti-July woodcock shooting bill
The anti-spring shooting bill came VI
for discussion, and it caused a hitch In
the proceedings, which had been alto
gether calm and peaceful. 1t was pro-
posed by the delegates that the season
for shooting duck and all water wild

are to meet Gotch? Take the State of
New Jersey, and if you want to, AXE
each city in this State, and after you
have fned-combed them all, where are
there any first-class wrestlers? Take
this city. Trot out your best wrestlers;
h are they? Echo answers in ST.
lence. Jersey City, Hoboken, Trenton;
they are all alike. Paterson had an
Emil Selva, who vas brought to the
top wave of popularity by his press
agent. He couldn't wrestle, and never
would play unless he knew the result
beforehand. He went mad, and it's
too bad some of his hackers didn't go
with him.
Carl Busch is hanging around Jersey
somewhere, but as a wrestler he is on
a par with Morrissey, the truck driver
who was touted as a prize-fighter
over in New York three years ago.
Both are in the same class.
Now you might pick out every State
in the Union and you could not find a
first-class wrestler to meet Gotch.
That's why 1 say he stands in the
front inks of Americas wrestlers. It's
a mighty poor honor at that.
Now. the reason Gotch is going to
make his tour is no mystery. He
wants some easy money, n he thinks
because of his reported match with
Hackenschmidt he will be able to get
some.
P. T. Barnum was a wise old jigger.
He said something about the Ameri-
can people liking to be fooled. Indeed
they do. They thirst for it. Dollars to
~crullers Hack will not come to this
| country unless lie is cabled a good SUD-
J stantial sum before he puts his No. 9's
on board a steamer
If you should heal your pal wanting
to bet on Gotch, crawl to the nearest
police box and tip off Tom Council that
you have a daffy bug in tow, and you
want his car fare to Morris Plains.
If you doubt me just ask Kiddo to
tell o about that G~otch-Jenkins
match three years ago in Madison
Square Garden. He knows, for I was
there with the little mutt myself.
| Tom Jenkins lost the first fall in
that match after twenty-three min
utes of putting and much grunting.
Notice the number, "2S." They rested
for ten minutes and during the lull,
cigarette smokers were going through
the big building seeking bets. zone
hundred to $40 Jenkins WINS they
were shouting. A blind jackass could
have seen through it all. This was
Gotch money looking for the jays. Big
Tom Hayes, of Central avenue, this
city. sat mex to me and he remarked,
"old Sport, how would you bet?"
It'll bet 500 to 81, Tom, that I will
make no wager on this match"
After the cigarette fellows got
through Gotch and jenkins came out
for the second bout. Gotch was downed
in seventeen minutes. Tim Hearst
refereed this bout. More betting in the
resting spell. Third bout was well on
when Jenkins sprained a tendon in his
left ear, or something like that. Gotch
won. Count this up and see If O
can find the answer. Old Sport will
give private audiences daily to wrest-
lers who claim to be on the level. Call
and see him.

FRANK GOTCH IS HIPPODROMING NOW

You might as well argue with me about
Leo Pardello, Beels and the rest of the

Put them in a bag. shake them up,
and you would think o were next
door to a battle factory. It's too bad
to nave to say this, but the truth Is
always painful. Now as to our friend
Gotch. He is hippodroming, and by
that / mean he has decided to make a
tour of the United States, meeting all
Corners. If you will stop and think,
this travelling bee of Gotch's only came
about after his press agents had spread
broadcast stories to the effect that he

South Jersey had opposed this before
the Fish and Game Commission, but

long discussion, and those in favor OF
making the date January 81 were led
by William butcher, of New York
president of the National Audubon So

TO TRAIN in DIXIE
NEAR MAJOR LEAGUECLUBS

, land, the territory to which most o.
the major league squads will migrate
next month. The Stallings plantation
where the Newark manager Is expect
| ed to assemble his charges, is located
at Haddocks, In Jones County, about
sixteen miles from Macon.
Within a radius of a hundred miles
or so will be the training camps of a
half dozen big league clubs. The
Cleveland team will begin training at
Macon on March 2, the New York
Americans will be quartered at At
lanta, and the Philadelphia Nationals
at Savannah. just over the border
line. in Jacksonville, Fla, the Brook
lyn aggregation will go through its
th~awing-out course.
While at Haddocks Manager Stall
ings can be in close communication
with Clark Griffith, of the New York
Americans. The Newark club is ex-
pected to receive a number of players
from the Yankee forces, though Stall
ings persistently denies that Frank
Farrell, owner of the New York club,
has any connection with the Newark
team.
Be that as it may it cannot dampen
the enthusiasm stirred up in the local
camp or alter affairs in any way detri-
mental to the team. The common fan
does not look far below the surface.
He roots for a team that is up in the
race. and this year his roofing will
not likely be in vain.
1t is a well-known fact that Stall
ings will rip a big hole into the pres
emit Newark team. That will be neces-
sary to make Roadway. A few men
of the 'old guard will likely be re-
tanned, however, for while there was
considerable deadwood on the 1907 team
there was also some good timber, such
players as Second Baseman Jimmy
Mullen and Pitcher Al Pardee.

When Kenny get up after this melee
it was seen that his leg was hurt, and
it was expected that the referee would
stop the fight, but there was no inter-
ference. In the fifth round Kenny
limped out of his corner and McGarry
soon had him hanging IN the ropes.
The referee saw that Kenny was in no
condition to finish the bout and stopped
the fight.
In the other bouts, Meyer Stringer
defeated Owney Flynn in four rounds.
Billy Reynolds stopped Kid Burns in
the second round of their six-round
