Negroes in Vicious Flght.-As a re-
suit of a deadly hand to hand fight
which took place in front of the At
lantic hotel last night about 9 o'clock,
Joe Williams, a colored man, is at the
hospital suffering from a knife wound
in his stomach and with a severe cut
on his head. His assailant, Gus
Bounds, is locked up in the county Jail
awaiting trial for assault with in
tent to kill There were no wit
nesses to the fight which took
place with a suddenness that startled
those who heard Williams cries for
help. Il is thought that Bounds did
the cutting with a knife, but this wea-
pom could not be located when the
man was arrested a few minutes later.
According to the statements Of several
who know the two men, II is claimed
that there has been bad feeling be
tween them for some time and when
they met in front Of the hotel last
night, hostilities were at once opened.
Williams injuries are not thought to
be such that he will not recover.

printer. possibly one in Des Moines
is in partnership with the check writ

MEN RISK TOO MUCH.

Life insurance companies now axe
very careful about issuing policies 10
active men over 35 years old for the
chances are that they have impaired
their health greatly by overWork.
Of course, if steps are taken IN
time, this damage can be repaired.
Mr.. Everett Nicely, of San Antonla'
Tex, says in recent letter:
MY health failed lately owing to
overwork, and as I did not get better
after a month, began taking Vlnol.
1t has given me better appetite,
helped me to sleep and built me up in
general so that | now feel like my
former self. 1t is a great pleasure to
recommend Vinol to everyone who
needs a strength remover"
Every man, woman and child who
is in poor health, weak, nervous and
rundown, ought to know that Vino
is exactly the right thing to build
them up and make them strong again
1t is made from fresh cod livers and
tonic iron, without any oil and is de-
licious to take. We guarantee Vinol
to do just what We say and give back
your money if it does not. Murray

AMERICANS. WILL WIN
England Has Little Chance to
Take olympic HonorS.
Yankees Expected to Secure Victory
Because of Better Coaches-NeW
Champions Constantly Com
inq to Light.

England's greatest athletes admit
that the representatives of John Bull
have little chance to win the Olympic
honors in Sweden next year, and say
that America will win for one great
reason. That is that the wearers or
the stars and stripes are better coach
ed from their youth up. England has
no coaches of any consequence, while
America is overrun with fine deVel-
opers of athletic material, even down
to the preparatory schools, and they
are constantly discovering new cham
pions.
Some of the greatest American ath-
letes of the day were discovered acct
dentally when there was no indication
that they possessed any particular
ability.
An example of how a coach can
bring out a man who doesn't know
that he is good, is found in j. P. Jones',
the great Cornell runner, who broke
the amateur mile record last spring
Under the English system Jones
would never have been heard of. He
went to Cornell in poor health and
was almost dragged out for track
work.
At first he promised nothing, but the
sharp eye of John Moakley perceiv-
ed in Jones a future good one, and
he kept after the Washington youth
until Jones made good. If Moakley
had not been there, Jones would prob
ably have quit in disgust soon after he
started
Hundreds of examples might be
pointed out where athletes have been
improved wonderfully in short time
by the correction Of simple fault
that they would never have found out
themselves.
When Mike Murphy went back to
the University of Pennsylvania this
last time he found there youth named
Haskins, good for about 4:40 in the
mile Haskins had tried and tried, and
was about to give it up. Three weeks
under Murphy saw Haskins doing AIS
consistently, and the next year he
owned the intercollegiate record fol-
| the mile.
In 1905 Ernie Hjertberg, who is now
coaching the Swedish athletes, got
hold of James P. Sullivan, a willing
young miller, whose limit seemed to be
around 4:42 Hjertberg to everyone's
surprise put Sullivan to running 220
yard dashes; cutting cut altogether his
customary distance work. Right up tt
the day of the championship young
Sullivan got his sprint diet. q.
Then Hjertberg sent him into the
mile event with instructions to wait
until the last 22O and beat It, Sulli
van not only won his race, but he rar
the fastest mile ever done by al
American born athlete up to thai
time-4:22 AS Had he been left tc
himself, Sullivan would have been still
doing long work in training and 4:4(
in his races.

CARL HAWKINS CAFE
A CARD

desire to thank those of my
friends and the public who have
helped me to write the large amount
of life insurance ! have written dur
ing 1911.
At the same time | wish to con-
graduate all those who have been sc
fortunate as to get their insurance
with The Union Central Life ms. Co.
and / feel absolutely certain that in
selling you this insurance l have given
you the very best to be had, and have
saved you money on it's cost also.
You have seen our actual results as
to annual dividends and net cost ad-
yertfsed very often. You do not see
TIE results in any other company so
published. There's a reason.
Now begin the New Year right by
taking out that life insurance you
have been putting off so long. Just a
little more delay may mean fatal de-
lay, and there is no pleasure in think
ing Of what might have been.
Let me show you.
