LITTLE CHANCE.
FOR M'FARLAND
To BOX WELSH
BY Ed Curley.

ATEW YORK. April 4.-Convinc-
N ing the public that you are
not resting quietly and pos
sibly comfortably in nice green
plot in a cemetery is one Of the
most important parts in the life Of
a fight promoter. For it's terrible
blow to the pride to meet a lot Of
folk. with whom you were chums
little while previous, and have 10
be introduced once more. That is
the hardest and saddest wallop
poor promo ever can receive.
Gliding along i'm this vein we have
to touch on an offer that George
Mcdonald has wired from England,
offering Packey Mcfarland and
Freddie Welsh $4,000 purse 10
fight twenty rounds in London on
May II.
The offer sounds all right IL You
don't tear it apart. In the first place.
Welsh left England only ten days
ago showing that George waited I'M
I'll he had a bully out
Packey Wants $4,000.
Again, Mcfarland wouldn't battle
i'm England unless he was guaran-
teed $1,000. That small demand, We
can't help but say, renders every
thing comatose and calls for new
deal
We're telling this TO you and aoE
to George For he knew il before
we got hep. In all probability he
will take some queen of the ocean,
heading in this direction. within
month or two You can't forget him.
for he's the fellow that offered Pack
ey Mcfarland and Freddie Welsh
$4,000 to fight.
You can't blame George. for It's a
crool and forgetful world we live in.
MoGoorty After Manager.
Judging from the fervld dis
patches sent from the West it looks
as in Eddie MCGoorty is seeking A
new manager and Marty Forkinsf de-
sires a new middleweight. The pair
we always thought inseparable is on
| the brink of dissolution.
Yes after all Marty did for Ed
ward. the latter Is slipping a runOui
powder down his throat. If he does,
we can only sympathize with him.
McGoorty got $4,000 in his last fif-
teen fights under the management of
| Forlins. and Of that number only
delivered the goods in three. Figuring
| inversely. that's a corking percentage.
We remember Eddie's terrible chat

| Gibbons for which he drew down
| 81 600 And any manager who can
Iget $1,000 for a battle that mace

FOR WIDOWS
Start Made for Topeka Foundation
That Makes r. Sage's Look Small.

A pension for Topeka widows is as
sured 1t was been a pet scheme of
Governor Hodges, of DR.. Eva Harding
and of a certain banker in town. The
pension will enable poor widows to
care for their children at homeland
will partially eliminate the sending of
the children to the orphans home; be-
hind each parting there is a heartache.
The banker has not taken an active
part in the cry for pensions-but he
will begin the ful1lment of the plan.
A wealthy woman recently entered his
office, made him executor of her will
and stipulated that her entire estate be
devoted to a pension fund for widows.
Income from the estate will net at
least $1,000 a year, which will enable
20 needy widows to receive a small
monthly annuity. The banker will
have direct control of the scheme, and
plans to add to the fund.
1T has always been a hobby of
mine.'' he said this morning 1T

rather than the donation of libraries
and museums, reaches the grass roots
Of humanity. The parting of children
from mothers too poor to keep them is
a tragedy. remember the case of a
widow left with three youngsters She
was practically penniless, and asked
her friends what she should do They

charitable institutions The mother
went quietly home, chloroformed the
children and herself. Easiest way out

The welfare of a portion of Topeka
widows is assured. Governor Hodges

Teach Your Child
How to Be Healthy
Regular Bowel Movement From
Infancy Insures Good Health
In Later Years.

We cannot all start life with the ad-
vantages of money, but every chllu
born is entitled to the heritage OF good
health. Through unfortunate ignorance
or carelessness in the feeding OF
baby it's tiny stomach may become de-
ranged. The disorder spreads to the
bowels and before the mother realizes
it the two chief organs on which the
infants comfort and health depend are
causing it great suffering. If the con-
dition is allowed to continue grave all
ments often result.
There is. however, no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do
but it should be done instantly-is to
give the baby a small dose of mlld
laxative-tonic. In the opinion of a

LOWERING DEATH RATE
Winning Fight Against Consumption
Is Being Made in New York.

New York, Oct. 13.-The efforts of
those engaged in the fight on tubercu-
losis are surely, if somewhat slowly
making Roadway in the opinion of JOS
eph E. Choate, former ambassador to
England and president of the State
Charities Air association. Mr.. Choate
in his report as head of the associa-
ton made public today points out that
New York local tuberculosis hospitals
have increased from two to 49, public
health nurses have increased from two
to 70; free tuberculosis ~dispensary have
multiplied from two to 20; anti-tuber-
culosis societies from two to 3OO-alI

new LAND FOUND.
Russian Naval Makes Discovery in the
Arctic Ocean.

ST. Petersburg, Oct. discrimination
of the discovery of new land in the Arc
tic ocean was received by the Russian
admiralty today in a brief official wire
less report from Commander Wilktizky
of the Russian navy.
The new land extends in a narrow
strip from about 60 miles north of Cape
Tchelyuskin, also known as Northeast
Cape, the northern termination of the
Asiatic continent, to 81 degrees north.
The admiralty expedition on board
the transports Taimyr and Waingatch
left Vladivostok last July and surveyed
the coast from KOlyma to Cape Tchely-
uskin. Commander Wilkitzky is a son
of the famous photographer, who died
last year.
He wanted to go west to the river
Yenesei to winter but met with solid
ice and on this account proceeded in a
northerly direction where he discover
ed land extending for 200 nautical miles.
The expedition was then compelled by
the ice to return toward the east. When
passing Bennett Island in latitude rs. 40
north longitude 1880 east, they found
the diaries and documents of the ill
starred expedition under Baron Toll,
which was lost in 1900. They also dis
covered q new island.
The expeditions under Baron Norden-
skiold, Fridtjof, hansen and Baron
Toll passed between Cape Tchelyuskin
and the newly discovered land without
noticing it's presence. The discovery
of the new land is regarded as having
the most important bearing on ice con-
ditions in the Kara sea.

BACKACHE A WARNING
YOU SHOULD HEED
1t is One of Natures First Signs OF
Kidney Troubles, if Neglected,
Serious Diseases May
Follow.

When the kidneys are clogged up and
inactive, nature has a way of warning
you.
Backache is one of the first symp-
toms. You may also be troubled with
disagreeable annoying bladder disor-
ders; have attacks of lumbago or
feel all worn out; puffy swellings show
under the eyes or in the feet and ank-
les; and many other symptoms are
noticed. If they are neglected, dropsy,
diabetes, or Bright's Disease, which so
often prove fatal, may result
1t is no tonly dangerous, but need
less for you to suffer and endure the
tortures of these troubles, when a lit
tie Croxone now will quickly and sure
ly end all such misery.
There is no more effective remedy
known for all such troubles than Crox-
one. because it reaches the cause. 1t
soaks right into the kidneys, through
the walls and Innings; cleans out the
clogged up pores; neutralizes and dis
solves the poisonous uric acid and waste
matter that lodge in the joints and mus
cIes and cause those terrible rheumatic
pains, and makes the kidneys filter and
sift the poison out of the blood and
drive it from the system.
You will find Croxone different from
all other remedies. 1t is practically i'm
possible to take it without results.
An original package costs but trifie,
and all druggists are authorized to re-
turn the purchase price if Croxone
should fail in a single case. Three
doses a day for a few days is often all
that is ever needed to end the worst
backache, relieve rheumatic pains, or
overcome urinary disorders.-Adv.

CIVIL SERVICE PLAN.
j. n. DolIey Endorses the Kutz Idea
in an Open Letter.

A few days ago C. H. Kutz, presi-
dent of the Kansas State Civil Service
League stated that he found that poll
ticians generally were opposed to the
civil service plan proposed by the or
ganiZation of which he is head, and
which seeks to have practically all
appointive offices, state as well as
county and municipal, placed under
civil service.
But ]. y. Dolley, state bank COM
missioner, and who has some reputa-
ton as a poll ian, is out fiat footed
in favor of .mprehensive civil ser
vice plan for the state In letter to
Mr.. Kutz he expresses strong
sympathy with the objects sought to
be brought about by the civil service
league, and says that a civil service
plank in a party platform for next
years campaign would interest the
people OF Kansas more than other
plank.
In letter to Mr.. Kutz, Mr.. Dolley
says:
II notice in the papers that you are
starting a movement to organize
statewide plan to place all appointive
offices under civil service.
Il wish to say that am strongly in
sympathy with the movement. 1 trust
that the ground plans will be well laid
and a strong organization brought
forth. Inefficiency among the en-
ployees of the city, county and state
is costing the taxpayers of the state
and nation millions of dollars annual
ly The spoils system in public office
in our state and nation is a disgrace
to the honesty. integrity and business
ability of our citizens.
II trust one of the political parties
in Kansas will make this question one
of their leading planks in the cam
paign next year. No plank can be put
in their platform that will interest the
people of Kansas more than this. No
