 FORE NATIONAL COMMISSION.
Only Five Of The Eighteen Minor League Protests Against The Drafting of Players Are
 Allowed

Cincinnati. Ohio. Sept. 21.-onIy i've of the eighteen minor league protests against the drafting of players were allowed. according to a finding of the National Baseball Commission today.
 In calling attention to the matter J. H. Farrell, secretary of the National Association. pointed out that previous to August 20 of this year. a numb or of minor league players were pur- chased by one minor league club from another and his office duly notified thereof; that afterwards, to wit, on September 1, and since that time, . number of these players were drafted by various major league clubs from the minor league clubs that had sold the players instead of the minor league clubs that purchased the players, and for that reason these drafts as made should be set aside.
 The protests allowed are the draft made by the Boston National League staiey: New York National League club from Savannah of Player Keiber: Cleveland American League club from the Gulfport club, of Player Lively; Cleveland American League club from the Houston club of Player Truesdale. and New York American League club from the Austin club of Gather Kill

Digest what you eat. Then you can
 Eat what you like.

You once could eat anything you wanted, and your stomach would digest it.
 But now there's some things which your stomach won't digest. Your stomach absolutely refuses to accommodate you when you eat certain food-so you have been forced by your stomach to eat food which you detested, and pass up those delicacies that you would have really enjoyed.
 There is a way now to eat any thing you like, if you will let Ko- dol digest 1t.
 Kodol will do this, too. It won't talk back or command, but will go right ahead with its work and d. gest all the food you eat. Kodol will let you eat anything you like and all you want, and you won't suffer with that dull feeling, that fullness, and wish you hadn't eaten so much.
 You will not have that heartburn. which is SO annoying at times, if you will let Kodol digest your food a while.
 You don't have to use Kodol long ~-onIy for 6 little while-Just long enough for your stomach to rest 8 little. It gets tired sometimes, tOo-iust the same as anybody or

TWO TOWNS BURNED
DISASTROUS FOREST FIRES IN
 WISCONSIN.
Gagen and Woodboro Each Had About Two Thousand Residents and Nearly All of Them Are
 Homeless.

Rhinelander, Wis. Sept. 21.--Gagen and Woodboro were destroyed by for est fires yesterday. The fire started in the woods yesterday morning and quickly reached Gagen and Woodboro. Men and women and children fought valiantly to save their homes, but without avail. Gagen and Woodboro each had about 1000 residents and nearly all are homeless.
 Burned out of their homes the peo- pie began fleeing from the ire. which grew more dangerous with each min ute. Women carrying children in their arms and men and boys with packs on their backs ran toward Rhineland- CT, many falling in the heat only to be helped on by the stronger refugees Nearly all of those burned out at Gagea reached Rhinelanier last night and are cared for. But few of the Woodboro people are here and 1t is not known what has become of all of them.
 The fire is fresh one and not a continuation of tho Ares which did so much damage last week
 When the blaze started the wind was from the west and 1t was feared Rhinelander. with it's homes for seven thousand persons was doomed, also. but chanSe In the direction of the wind probably has saved the city. The towns of Gagen and Woodboro are on the Zoo Railway. Reports from the refugees who came to thIs city say nothing is left of Gagen.
 Citizens have decided to ask Gov ernor Davidson to order out the State militia to assist In fighting the flames which because of the dry condition of the woods. threaten to destroy the forests. It Is feared the wind may again shift and the mayor and chief of police believe the danger to Rhine lander is not yet over. Hundreds of men have gone out from this city to light the flames, but reports received from those returning say they have made little progress against the fire.

Ohio Election Figures.
It is one of the remarkable coincidencss

It is one of the remarkable coincidences of election returns that Mir Bryan re- ceived exactly the same number of votes in Ohio in 1896 and 1900. Both years his total vote in the State was 47l.ss2 In 1Sse Mckinley beat him by 51,oo0 and in 1900 by ss,000. But this increase was due to McKinley's gain and not Bryan's loss. The figures by counties show that in 1900 Bryan had lost votes in the agricultural counties as compared to 1ss6. but that he made up for his loss by increasing his vote in the centers of population.
