LANGFORD WILL FORCE
 JOHNSON INTO RING
 OR OUT OF COUNTRY
Hughes of New York Willing to Put up S20090 as Side
 Wager on LangoTd

Jack Johnson will have to fight Langford or get out of this country" said Joseph Woodman. manager of Langford, yesterday "A forfeit and side bet of s20,OO0 will be posted inside Of the next five days in behalf of Iangford and unless Johnson covers the money binding a match inside of twenty days after the coin goes up Langford will lay claim to his title. Joseph Hughes, New York man, who thinks Langford can whip Johnson. has guaranteed to furnish the S20.000 side bet demanded by Johnson. MT. Hughes is we'll known as a boxing en- thusiast and has been anxious to see Langford mix it up with Johnson for a long time.
 Personally I believe Langford can stop Johnson in a fight of twenty rounds or more. Johnson is over rated. Jeffries. poor fellow, was back number when he got into the ring at Reno. I never believed Jeff could come back and when I saw him stand up for the first round I was sure that he would lose. But do you know that Johnson was afraid of him? It's a fact. Why, Johnson didn't dare to extend himself for ten rounds because he didn't know whether Jeff was counterfeit or not Then as he real ized he was up against a punching bag he sailed in Johnson's victory, in my opinion. wasn't much to brag about, for Langford or Kaufman. believe, would have beaten Jeff in half the time. Talk is cheap in pugilism and I know that Johnson has been accus- ing us of blufhng because we didn't have s20,0O0 to bet on the side several months ago. but we've got the money now and as soon as we post it the pub lie will quickly learn who is on the level"
 'I can vouch for Mir Hughes" said President Gibson of the Fairmont A. c. yesterday "He is a member of my club and has plenty of money As es uatkeT pf .fantt he handed me a $i0.-

INFANTIlE PARAL YSIS
 REACHES NEW HAVEN

New Haven, Aug. 3.-The disease known to medical men as anterior poliomyelitis and to the general pub lie as infantile paralysis has reached this vicinity after spreading to vari- ous parts of the state. The first case in this neighborhood has been discov- cred just outside of the city line On Edwards street, in Highwood, three year old child stricken with the dis ease lies helpless, being paralyzed from the waist down, with no hope of recovery.
 The father and mother of the baby are Italians. John Lalla, the father, some time ago found that the baby was growing helpless and as the condition became worse, consulted a doctor in the neighborhood. The case was immediately diagnosed as one of infantile paralysis. Yesterday the baby was in the same condition with its lower limbs rigid.

ECZEMA CURED

ECZEMA CURED PimpIes Disappear and Co .n-
 pIexion Cleared Overnight
 New Tork.-Thousands are taking advantage of the gener- ous offer made by The Wood worth Co.,. 1161 Broadway, New York City. requesting an exper- imental package of Lemola, the new skin discovery, which Is mailed free of charge to all who write for it. It alone is suffi- cient to clear the complexion over night and rid the face of pirnples in a few hours.
 Those who have tried LEM- OLA will find that the soc box on sale in Bridgeport at all drug stores is sufficient to cure the worst form of Ec- zema where the parts affected are not too large. On the first application of Lemola the itoh- ing will stop. It has cured tkou- sands afflicted with Eczema, Teeters. Rashes, Itchings. Irri- tationS. Acme, Scal1ngS and Crusting of skin. scalps of in- fants, children and adults. It is good for the preservation and purihcation of the skin, scalp. hair and hands. for the preven- ton of the clogging of the pores the usual cause of pimplcs. blackheads. redness and rough ness and also the treatment of burns, scalds, wounds, sores. chappings as well as the toilette and nursery.
 It contains no grease and be- ing lesh-colored the presence of Lemola on the face or hands is not perceptible.

900 bill, the first I ever saw, two weeks ago and told me to give it to Wood man as part Of the side bet. MT. Hughes didn't care to be known in the matter. but as Johnson insisted on 0,000 thinking that Woodman couldn't Hughes agreed to put up the entire amount. and Furthermore he tells me he will wager $10,000 more on Langford at ringside odds. Johnson has got to make match with Langford or crawl. Personally I think Johnson will refuse to light, for he knows Langford is too dangerous a proposition for him to take chances with. But Langford is going to corner him just the same so that the public will know who is to blame 1T there is no match.
 Jem DrlscOll, who saw Langford knock out Ian Hague, the English heavyweight champion. in London a year ago, told me that Langford's ex- hiblt1on or gameness was wonderful. Hague, terrific hitter, knocked him down several times in the early rounds. but could make no impression. When Langford scored the knockout with one short punch on the jaw DriscoH de- clared the trick was done so quickly that few of the spectators could under stand it. That is why English sport ing men regard Langford as the real champion of the world and have ac- cused Johnson of being afraid to meet him. The fact that Johnson refused an offer of 0,0e0 made by me a year ago for a six round bout with Lang ford proved to my satisfaction that he was afraid of the Boston slugger and see no reason to change my opin- ion.''
 "I will furnish the entire sum of SEQ, GOO within a week." said Joseph Hughes yesterday. 'Langford has been after Johnson for three years and now the latter's own proposition will be accepted Langford can beat this big buffer and my money says so.''

Arrange Pipe Lease

With the assistance of Attorney Barnhill, the Town Council at a special session, Wednesday even- ing, February 9, entered into a contract with those citizens who had advanced the cash to buy the pipe for the water system: AS ev- cry body in the town is aware, the treasury didn't contain money enough to finance the water system so it was decided by the council to negotiate a deal with several citi- zens for them to take care of the difference: This was done, and a fund of s35oo.oo was raised as fol- lows: P. C. Mccormack, s75o, j.. c. Grant, s75o, P: C. Patenaude, S7oo, F. Matheson, s4oo, Donald Sinclair, s2oo, and Charles Bry- ant, s2oo. The statute Is such that town in Alaska may not ere ate any indebtedness more than 1t can handle within the year, so the agreement was entered into be- tween the council and the above mentioned citizens whereby the pipe remains the property of those paying for it, the town paying them ss5o per year rental for the pipe and having the fight to pur- chase any or all of it at any time at the cost price.
