Literary Dane From Hegewisch
Declares He VIII Battle
All Corners.

Battling Nelson is ready to defend
his championship. Furthermore, the
fighting Dane from Hegewisch has
reached the point where he is not only
willing but anxious to meet Packey
Mcfarland, who has been bounding him
for over a year for battle, and en-
deavor to impress upon the idol of the
stock yards that he is still of the Dane
of great durability and the real cock
Of the walk in the 1873 pound division of
fistiana.
Hegewisch's first citizen evidently
has finished his literary tolls, has
wiped the ink stains from his fingers,
discarded his theatrical makeup and is
ready once more to swap punches in
The ring. The Dane, who for months
has refused even to discuss seriously a
fight with Mcfarland or any other
lightweight, has invited battle with
Packey. but of course has named his
conditions, as is the right of cham
pion.
The lightweight champion always
has prided himself that his word was
as good as his bond, and, this being
true, there can be no doubt as to his
eagerness to wage battle with McF'ar-
land or any other lightweight. He be-
Iieves himself the master of them all
and his intention to re-enter the ring
is shown plainly in the following tele-

A REMARKABLE ECZEMA CURE,
No More Hopeless Cases of This
Dreaded Disease,

Eczema has long been one of the
most dreaded of diseases, not only from
the suffering and humiliation it entails,
but also because of the difficulty hith-
erto found in curing it, Doctors have
failed, and the desperate patients have
resorted to much advertised 'so-caIed''
remedies, only to meet with disappoint-
ment. ow all this is changed.
A sure and speedy cure for eczema
absolutely unfailing, as thousands
are ready to testify-has at last been
found DR.. Taylor's Eczema Remedy
has established itself solely on its
merits as an infallible blood purifier
and skin cleanser. is use has enor-
mously increased within a brief period
as its efficacy has been learned.
For not alone is this remedy ef-
fectual in the worst cases of eczema
but It is probably the quickest and
surest remover of al skin blemi shes
, such as pimples, blackheads, ache
herpes, barber Itch, etc. that has evel
| been discovered. Often one application
I over night. clears the complexion.
A free descriptive booklet is ISSUED

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST
The Awful Toll Collected by
Consumption.

If people could only understand that
Catarrh is an internal scrofula-that
nothing applied externally does much
good-they would not need to be warn
ed so often about this fatal disease,
which, when neglected, invariably ends
up in consumption, at the cost of mil
lions of lives every year. Yet Catarrh
is easily cured if the right treatment
is employed.
Catarrh is caused by germs in the
blood which circulate throughout the
entire system. External remedies give
fects are often seen in the form OF
the trouble is internal, and can never
be cured by external remedies
The only way to cure Catarrh is by
employing a medicine which is absorb
ed and carried by the blood to all parts
of the system, so that the mucous mem
brane or internal lining of the body is
thoroughly medicated. soothed, disin-
fecte dof germ matter, and the sore
ness healed.

The games at East Chicago were at
tended by a very small crowd, the in

man played the scoring game for East
Chicago, scoring six goals. while Riley

game
The Harvey game was preceded by g
curtain raiser in which the E. C. H. S

TO WIN BOUT
Critics Believe Briton Too
Clever for Attell.

Attell, or, in other words, mystify the
feather-weight champion at his own
game-clever boxing-when the pair
meets before the National A. C. next
Friday night is the general belief of
local pugilistic authorities. Clever as
Atten is, the general impression is
that the Briton has considerable on
Abe in the line of fancy boxing. Dris-
coils victories over Baldwin. Hayes and
Cross have been so decisive that he
probably will go into the ring against
the admitted king of the feather
weights a slight favorite.
