opposition raised to the so-called pool
room sen-Ice. This hitch affected nil
messages sent to the tracks, and business
or personal telegrams alo suffered some
what. Opposition In New- York wan par
ticularly strong, and it tra- hard to send
ordinary messages relating to races from
point to point. This necessitated the for
mation of a private telegraph service.
Both Western Un'on and Postal wires
will be used wherever po-slhlc Private
wires will bo strung when other service
Is impracticable. The original charter of
the company was secured bj a oorncern
In Maln-, hut It has been transferred to
the local directorate.
Active work it Is said, will commence
after the election of officers next wi-eir.
John Condon, the blind owner of the
Harlem course, was In the city jesterday
and was seen at the Southern Hotel.
He stated that he had nothing to do
with the telegraphic enterprise and that
he would merelj give conwnt to a reliable
concern to handle news from the track
on the prospect of getting unlnterruptable
sen ice.
Condon claimed that he was hero merely
on private business, and that he had no
direct connection with the new telegraphic
concern.
Bd Corrigan, chief stockholder in the
Hawthorne race track, was aso In the
city yesterday, but stated that he had
nothing to do vith tho telegraphic move
ment and that he was merelv pissing
through the city. He was not at the
meeting.
One detail of the meeting, which was
strongly emphasized b thor present, was
the fact that a certain telegraphy company

reptitiously and of having used them when

IMITATION FABLE OF
A POLITIC REFEREE.
Brlncrthr Story of a Prlae-riirht Ofll-
clal -Who Tried to rien.- Eiery-
Iiody, but Lost Out I'nble So. 2.
Once upon a Time there was a Prlze
Flght Referee who believed in Deins Dip
lomatic He would argue that the Fight Follow
ers supported the Game and that they
Ought to be Considered in Handing Doivn
Decisions.
He also Relieved in Stalling both Fight
ers and Managers along, and In Telling
eich Fighter that he would be a Jim
Jeffries some Da).
When Ho had to hand down the Verdict
against a Man he would tell him Later
that he did It Onlv on Account of his
Undue Energy In Clinches.
"You had that Guv beat. Old Man," he
would say. "Hut you got Over-Cnthuslas-tlc.
You Didn't Break when I told You
and You had to take the Consequences.
Try it Again."
' Now the Fighter
wouldn't Know what
Enthusiastic Meant,
but would rigure It
Out that It Referred
to His stjle. And he
Would change That
in the Next Fight and
Um; UDDercuts Instead
of Left Jabs He
would Swallow the
llullcon, however,
and would Ask for
tho Diplomatic Ref
eree on his Xcxt Go.
Now it Happened
thafthl Referee was
Choen to Preside at
n Fight in which
there was real Local
Feeling not the kind
which Is mentioned
by the Press Agent
to Boost the Attcnd-
THE POLITIC ""S?
nrvrnrr There was a Genu-
"fc-i'tRtC. Ine delegation that
had Bet on Each Man. The Referee only
got the Post of Presiding at This fight
because) He was diplomatic and Stalled
the Parties on Each Side. Each Contin
gent wa3 Fullv Prepared to Call the
Referee a Thief in Case he Gave the Ver
dict the Other Way.
To the Sporting Writer the Referee,
would Say:
"Old Man. you've cot These Other Guys
Beat a Block In Writing dope. New York
is tho Place for vou."
Or, if the Writer camo from New York
the Diplomatic Referee would Mention
nhat the London Sporting Editors had
said in Complimentary stvlc about ihe
Writer, when the Referee was on a Fic
titious Trio to the Other Side of tlie
Ocean.
When tho Night of the Big Fight Came
the club was crowded to the Doors. There
was real Feeling over the scrap And bets
which were Made at the Ringside were In
United States Currercy Instead of the
Usual Conversation Monev-
Both Gcntlemrn who Figured in the
Affray Fought DesporatIy that Night.
c-acn Fouled the Other at one sttge, but
the Referee wouldn't allow It, because He
thought:
"I don't want to Antagonize either Side
here. And T mlc-ht as Tt.ru lrnnm neA
low Punches."
This fight was In Chicago. Bv the time
the Fourth round was reached "The Spec
tators were Standing on Chairs and Every
Man was yelling. By the Jlinc the Fifth
was Closed the Nol3e Each Side mad In
Howling for Its man broke several Sky
lights In the roof.
Every Spectator also Reached down and
Lot n good grip on th" Back of His Chair,
so as to Have Something tn throw If the
erdlct wasn't light. And the Police were
kept Busy throwing people out of the Dol
lar Seats.
For It must be known that the people in

And he held up Both Men's Hands In sign
of a. draw, saying to himself: "Here's a
good, popular d-cWon " en.sa
Now the Diplomatic Referee didn't know
anjining anout Jiisiory. so he couldn't
draw comparisons about the Battle of
Hastings, where the arrows obscured the

anyhow, for he wasn't able to draw com
parlrons for more than thirty seconds.

The Club Management later found one
leg on the roof and an arm on the Oppo

And the Life Insurance Company al
ways refused to pay his widow- the in

ANOTHER GAS
FRANCHISE BILL
Measure Introduced in Council by
Daniel B. Holmes Requesting
Right to Pipe Supply
Into Citv.
With one fifty-year franchise bill for a
natural gas company already before the
Council, another was Introduced jesterday
asking that similar privileges be granted
to Daniel B Holmes, his associates and
assignees. The Tri-SUtc G.is Company
measure has been before the Council for
somo time and provides for a franchise
to pipe gas into the city from tho fields
of Kansas at a rate of GO cents for the
thousand cubic feet.
The Holmca bill does not mention from
where the gas Is to be brought. It is
stipulated that the citv- may regulate the
price to the consumers by ordinance. The
measure states that the company will lay
twentj-fivo miles of pipe in the city with
in a jear, and will begin the work within
six months after the supply has been
brought to the city limits. The city will
receive I per cent of the gross earnings.
At the meeting jesterday afternoon Geo.
C. Hitchcock, who was elested in the last
campaign, was seated. He received his
election certificate Monday and his other
credentials jesterdaj-.
Although Indications pointed to action
on the COOO.OO!) bond-Issue bill, it was
lild over again until tll.s next meeting.
However, it is believed the measure will be
pas3cd at the next meeting.
Mr. Markham and several other mem
bers of the Council held a conference with
Mayor Wells before the meeting and dis
cussed the proposed amendments which
will raise the salaries pf certain City Hall
officials and members of the Council and
Houao of Delegates. It Is almon certain
,that a special electinif'wllt be held before
the general election In the spring for vot
ing on the bond Issue and the 'amend
ments. Two-thirds of the popular vote
Is required to carry the measures.
Mr. Bovce introduced n. hill nnnrnnrla-
tlng $123.(00 for current expenses for the
Water Department for the remainder of
the fiscal jear. It is said that, on ac
count of man? Improvements In the wa
ter sjstem, more monej has been re
quired. Tho $10,000 bond of Doctor Jules Baron,
Coroner elect, was approved. It devel
oped later, however, that he had not jet
filed his election expenses, and In conse
quence had not received his election cer
tificate. He will qualify to-day, how
ever. The law allows candidates twenty
daj-s In which to file their election ex
penses, and It Is said that the doctor
hastened home from a hunting trip to
keep h!9 election from going by default.
It was on the approval of the Baron
bond that Hitchcock cast his first votu
in tho Council.

Pos.tlithwi.ite?
A few years ago I was taken with in
flammatory Rheumatism, which, though
mild at first, became gradually so intense
that I was for weeks nnable to walk. I
tried several prominent physicians and
took their treatment faithfully, but was
unable to get the slightest relief, intact,
my condition seemed to grow worse, the pains spread over
my entire body, and from November to March I suffered
agony. I tried many patent medicines but none relieved me.
Upon the advice of a friend I decided to try S. S. S. Before
allowing me to take it, however, my guardian, who was a
chemist, analyzed the remedy and pronounced it free of pot
ash or mercury. I felt so much better after taking two bot
tles, that I continued the remedy, and in two months I was
cured completely. The cure was permanent, for I have never
since had a touch of Rheumatism, though many times ex
posed to damp and cold weather.

RHEUMATISM comes from poor digestion, stomacit troubles, torpid "liver, weak kidneys and a general
sluggish condition of the system. Food souring in the stomach poisons the blood it becomes too add. The
liver and kidneys fail to act properly, and the circulation is clogged with impure matter and burning acrid fluids
which penetrate and saturate the bones and muscles, joints and nerves, producing the terrible pains and aches anel
other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism. As it originates in the blood and affects the whole system, it will not

"Scalper'' Experience Leber.
The Reverend J. N. Williams of Hart
ford, Conn., an evangelist, who for the
past twelve vcars has been known widely
through Illinois. Missouri and Kansas, was
victimized this week. He came from Kan
sas City to view the World's Fair, and
hardlj- passed through the gates at Union
Station, when he fell an easj- victim to a
sharper.
The minister Is spending a week with
Edwards ville friends and jesterday told
of his experience. He had Just alighted,
he said, from the train when he was
warmlj greeted bj- a joung man They
chatted for a few minutes, and the joung
man, learning that tho minister had come
from Kansas Citj-, suggested that he real
ize something on the return ticket, ex
plaining that they could readily be sold.
In fact, he said he knew a man at a near
by hotel who wanted just such a ticket.
The minister accompanied his new- iriend
to a hotel a couple of blocks from the
station. The fellow asked to see the
ticket and after examining It handed it
back with the request that the other
wait a few minutes until he returned with
the purchaser. Half an hour passed and
the Reverend Doctor Williams decided
that he would see what he could do on
hi own account.
Entering a ticket broker's office he stat
ed that he desired to ell a ticket from
St. Louis to Kansas City, and passed it
across the counter.
The clerk laughed and handed It back
with the remark that no games "went"
there. Then for the first tlme.-'sJnce his
friend had excused himself the minister
looked at the ticket and found In his
hand an excursion ticket between a couple
of obscure points In Missouri and sever
al vears old.

Miss Postletbwaite's experience with Wine of Cardui shows that all her fonuer
suffering was unnecessary.
Miss Postlethwahe's cure by talring Wine of Cardui is proof that the pains that
hundreds of thousands of other women are enduring are equally unnecessary. 'And it
should convince you that your sickness should not be allowed to go on another day.
Wine of Cardui made life beautiful for Miss Postlethwaite. It has made life new
for over 1,500,000 sick women. It will make life new for you. It will give you health
for your sickness and quick and permanent relief for your pains. A 25 cent package of
Thedford's Black-Draught will give better health to every member of your family.

HEUMATISM
For over four years I suffered intensely
with Sciatic Rheumatism. The Rheuma
tism first troubled me in my hip, then
Sread to my shoulders, head, and finally
over my body. I became such an in
valid that neither my family nor friends
do to depend on liniments ana ouier external remedies, oucn treatment is ucip
ful, but the blood must be restored to a pure, healthy state before the cure is per
manent. When S. S. S. has driven out the impurities and built up the thin, acrid
blood and stimulated the sluggish organs to better action, the cure is thorough and
lasting. The feverish, excited nerves then are soothed and the muscles relieved of
the torturing tension, and the whole system is restored to its former healthy state.
S. S. S. contains no potash or alkalies, but is guaranteed purely vegetable. Onr

prescriptions given me by physicians (which contained a great
deal of potash) that my stomach was mined and there seemed
no hope for recovery. I had been reading in the newspaper
of S. S. S. and decided to trv- it, and to my joy commenced to
get relief before the second bottle was gone. After complet
ing five bottles I was an entirely different man, and felt that
I had a new lease on life. The cure in my case has been so
wonderful that I shall tell every one of it, S. S. S. not only
cured my Rheumatism, but also put my system generally in
excellent condition. I have a good appetite, sleep well and
