AUTOS RUN by HORSE POWER
Racing Machines Make BiiIe an Hour
in Deem SNOW nriftn

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Late today the auto.
MOBILES entered in the New York to Paris
race were still trying to reach Chicago.
The leading car was the American, and Il
was at Chesterton, Ind, forty.one miles
from this city, and making progress at
the rate of one mile an hour.
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. Feb &.-The
American car in the automibile race from
New York to Paris left this it, city
at l:45 O'Clock this morning for Chicago
ana became stalled in an immense snow
drift nine miles west of Michigan City
late this afternoon Teamsters who went
out with II gave up in despair and re-
! turned to Michigan City. The crew tenn
porarily abandoned the car and went to
Chesterton, twelve miles west of here, for
more men and horses.
TOLTDO, o., Feb. 25.-The last two of
the automobiles in the New York to Paris
endurance test crossed the western Ohio
line today and are now battling with snow
drifts in northern Indiana. The French
car Motto Bloc left Bryan, o.. at a. m
after spending the night there The Ger
man car Protos became stuck in the snow
q few miles from Edgerton. o., last even
ing and a farmer towed Il into town, where
it remained until this morning II fol-
lowed closely after the French car in eros
ing the Ohio line.
LA PORTE, Ind, Feb. 25.-The so-called
army car, carrying a message from General
Kan, reached Michigan City early today
and after a short rest for the crew re-
sumed the trip for Chicago. From present
indications II Is almost certainty that
the army car will reach Chicago ahead OF
the American car. The American car lost
much time in northern Indiana, particularly
after leaving Rolling Prairie, by taking
roads where snow drifts were practically
insurmountable. The Italian car reached
Rolling Prairie last midnight. and after
remaining until 1880 this morning, resumed
IN a drizzling rain. The French car left
New Carlisle this morning The rain is
wearing away the snow.

BURNS is TO MEET JOHNSON
Preliminary Arrangements for Heavy
weight Fight in England.

LONDON. Feb. 3.-Tommy Burns, the
heavyweight champion, and Jack Johnson,
the negro heavyweight, may meet in this
country to fight for the championship
within the next few months A syndicate
of British spoTtsmen have offered a purse
for a fight between Burns and johnson, to
take place in England. They have placed
a deposit OF 5000 and Burns, having ac-
cepted the terms, has deposited similar
sum as a forfeit.
The Inducements offered Burns to meet
Johnson are not disclosed but the syndi-
cate offers Johnson 5000. win, lose or draw.
The fight is to take place before June 10
and Burns insists on a siXteen-foot ring
He is also agreeable TO the suggestion that
James j. Jeffries shall act as referee. He
appears quite elated at the opportunity thus
afforded him OF meeting johnson and says
the terms are far better than ever sug-
gested In America, He says he cannot sec
how Johnson can refuse them II he really
wants TO fight.
Burns would like It TO be a fight to a
finish, but II Is not likely that the authori-
ties would allow any contest going twenty
or twenty-five rounds. II a fight iE ar
ranged il is expected that it will be at
Newcastle or one OF the Lancashire cities
where big attendance would be a GER
tainty.
Burns Is taking things quietly at present
doing just enough work TO keep him III
condition. He Will remain at Hampstead
until March 70 when he will 20 TO dublin
for his fight on ST. PatriclI's day with Jem
Roche. He Is confident Of his ability 10
defeat Johnson and thiEks that Roche will
not prove much more effective than Gunner
Moir or Jack Palmer.

LOCAL Y. NJ. c. A. COLoRS LOWERED
Des Moines Takes Them Into Camp
by Decisive score.

Des Mones. 2S Omaha, 19.
The Omaha Young Mems Christian as
sociation basket ball team. which holds the
Nebraska championship. was beaten by the
Des Moines Young Mems Christian assOcia-
ton five last night to the tune Of 2S TO 10.
The PLAYING OF the locals showed a de-
cided lack Of practice and they missed
many tries at goal. II Is regretted that one
or two unsportsmanly acts on the part
OF the Omaha players marred the game
which was referred rather loosely, by
mutual agreement OF the two teams
The team work of the Iowans was fea-
ture OF the contest and with the sure work
by their goal throwers netted many scores,
Although their opportunities at the basket
were not as numerous those OF their
opponents. they threw goals oftener.
Wilson and Elder were about on n par in
throwing goals or fouls although Elder
made eighteen ott OF twenty-cne tries for
Des Moines at Sioux City last Saturday.
The other visiting players did good work
but were handicapped by Writer'S sprained
ankle, received early in the game
The Omaha men worked hard throughout
the contest and II is generally conceded
that they would have won by a wide
margin II their basket throwing had been
up to scratch. Welsin, who generally stars
did not get a goal, and COhn missed many
Zine shots, although he threw more than
his teammates Des Moines' trick OF play
ing guard up under the basket cost the
locals several points.
One of the finest bits Of basket ball ever
witnessed In Omaha was pulled off by the
visiting team and ended with a Rpectacula I
goal by Elder. The lineup:

OVER TWO THOUSAND
VISITORS A DAY
Cooper Explains Reason For Remarkable
Average of Boston Callers.

During L. T. Cooper's recent stay in
Boston. 1t IL estimated that sixty-five
thousand people talked with him and pur-
chased his medicine. This is an average OF
over two thousand a day.
His success was go phenomenal as to
cause universal comment both by the pub
lIc and the press. There must be a
reason for this. Here Is the reason given
in his own words by Mr.. Cooper when in
terviewed on the subject. He said:
THE immense numbers OF people who
are calling on me here in Boston is not
unusual / have had the same experience
for the past two years wherever / have
gone. The reason is a simple one. II IL
because my medicine puts the stomach
in good condition. This does not sound
unusual. but It is fact the key 10 health
The stomach is the very foundation OF life
attribute % per cent OF all sickness di-
rectly TO the stomach.
Neither animals nor men can remain
well with a poor digestive apparatus. Few
can he sick with a digestion in perfest
condition. As matter OF fact. most men
and women today are half-siok. II is be-
cause too much food and too little exer-
else have gradually forced the stomach
into a haif-sick condition. My medicine
gets the stomach back where II was. and
that is all that is necessary"

believers in Mr. Coopers theory. is Mr

BRITISH DEFENSE BUDGET BIG
Both Army and Navy Departments
Ask for Larger AD-
prOpriatiOns.

LONDON, Feb. 25-The' estimates for
the British defense forces for the current
year, which were issued today, will dis
appoint the peace party. for, instead OF
showing a reduction, as they had hoped,
the combined estimates for the army and
navy show an increase of 81, 900. 900,
without apparently any prospect of con-
siderable diminution In the future. Lord
Tweedmouth.- first lord Of the admiralty,
expresses outright that the future pro-
gram of Great Britain will depend on
whether foreign powers increase their
naval forces, since the government has
overy intention of maintaining the stand
ard of the British navy, which hitherto
has been deemed necessary for the safe
guarding Of national and imperial inter-
ests.
The war secretary, Mr.. Haidane, says
a similar statement regarding the
army:
Looking to the future, 1 am convinced
that it Is impossible TO make further
diminutions in the army expenditures on
a considerable scale, unless we, first of
all, reduce the number of troops serving
abroad.
"Garrisons abroad" he adds. will be
reduced whenever that can safely be done.
but II reductions in tho regular army
are carried too far, demand will uiti-
mately have to be made on the citizen
forces such as hitherto has never been
contemplated"
The army estimates for 1s0s-O9 total
s154.ls5,l2O. and the war secretary esti-
mates for a total of $4,000 men in the
home and colonial establishments, ire
spective OF India, a decrease Of 5000 men
from last year.
The navy estimates total S161.5S1.b 800
and provide exactly the same number OF
officers and men as last year.

SEASON OPENS THE FIFTEENTH
Middle of April for western-Omaha
Begins at Dea MOlnes.


According to the schedule of the Western
league to be issued by President ONeil
this week, the season will consist OF 15l
games The opening games win be played
on April Is, two days earlier than last
year. The schedule was drawn by George
Tebeau-of the Denver club and was adopted
by the league at the Omaha annual meet
ing In case the circuit was not enlarged.
The early opening was at first strongly
opposed by Pa Rourke of Omaha, Ducky
Holmes OF Sioux City and Guy Green OF
Lincoln. They hung out for a long time
for an opening about April 25 Tebeau
won over the other magnates by producing
the official attendance records for last
season, showing there had been a greater
average attendance before July 4 than for
the remainder of the season The Den
verite claimed all of the clubs are apt to
be in the fight for the flag up to the ma
tons birthday, while after that date the
contest would be simmered down to two or
three teams. He thought all the games
that could be played before the Fourth OF
July the better the league would be off.
Sioux City will open the season at Lin
coin, Omaha opens at Des Moines and
and Omaha will play but three or four
gamee at home during April. Each club
will play seventy-five games at home. The
Sunday dates at Lincoln will be played in
Omaha, Sioux City and Des Moines.
Umpires OF the Western league who fail
to produce a good excuse for missing as
signments will be fined $25 this season.
They will have to submit q written expla-
nation to the president OF the club In the
city to which ne has been assigned de-
failing the reasons for his absence.
