When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount OF
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount OF
air. The result is shortness of
breath, sinothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DIR. Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

Mr.. Sullivan's appreciation of the Chi
cagO magnate. who for some time mas
been a target for malicious tongues, IS
well grounded. A year ago the chicago
management was distressed over the
detection of Catcher King. Knowing
that Sullivan and King were close
friends, the Chicago magnate deputlzed
Sullivan to go to Kansas City In an
effort to induce Killing to return to the
fold. Murphy offered to reward Sulli-
van by paying him $500 and his ex-
penseS, the latter agreeing to under
take the mission, but presuming that
the payment was contingent upon sue
cess. Approached by Sullivan in Kan
sas City, King said very frankly that
he had Just launched a billiard parlor
venture and intended to stay by it I'M
til it was firmly established; he had no
objection to playing for Murphy, but 1t
would require a year OF personal at
tention to place his business on pay
ing basis. Mr.. Sullivan could not do
else than return to Chicago and re-
port the facts to Murphy as he found
them. To Sullivan'S surprise Murphy
promptly made out his check for the
full amount, remarking that Sullivan
had done his best and was entitled TO
compensation as much as If he mad
induced King to return to the game.

CLAY CENTER WINS AGAIN.
Tenth Victory in Basket Ball Las
Night.

Tenth Victory i'll Basket Ball Last
Night.
Clay Center, Kan. Feb. 26-The
Clay county high school basket ball
team won its tenth victory of the sea-
son last night from the Dickinson
county high school by the score of
40 to %.
The game was very fast and was
featured by Clay's team work and
guarding. The Dickinson players
seemed entirely unable to break
through the strong defense put up by
Clay's basket protectors. Both halves
of the game were full of spectacular
plays, with but very few fouls called
on either side.
The Clay county high school and
the Dickinson county high school have
always been great rivals in an ath-
letic way and this year Clay has been
successful in winning all of the ath-
letic contests played between the two
schools so far. This game decides the
championship of central Kansas.
The Clay county bunch will be
among the strongest contenders for
the state championship at the tourna-
ment to be held in Lawrence next

athletic authorities at K. u. the state
championship will be decided when

airship TO the United States, has given
the following particulars of his scheme:
II shall be accompanied by Herr
Bruckner. the editor of a Frankfort
newspaper, by a physician and by one
chauffeur. l intend TO start about the
middle of May. My starting point will
either be Cadiz. in Spain. or Tenerife.

motor is 40 horsepower.
Owing to the favorable wind which
shall utilize only intend to use the
motor in case of necessity, because It
is not possible TO take sufficient ben
zine to keep the motor going for five
days. The cubic contents of the bal
loon, $500 centimeters of hydrogen.
are quite sufficient to keep the airship
af1oat for 145 hours. That would be
six days, or one day more than l re-
quire for the passage.
Novel Feature of His Craft.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture of my airship is a cage forty feet
long and ten feet wide. In case of
necessity this can be sailed on the
ocean as a motorboat, and if run
short of benzine it can be sailed as a
sailing boat, because l shall take a
portable mast with me.
