JUST GIVE HIMTEN BOUNDS
And He Will Settle With Any
Three Men,
DENVER ED SMITH, PUGILIST,
In the City—Has Arranged to Meet Some of
the Local Talent in the Ring.
His Record.
Denver Ed Smith, a heavyweight pu
gilist, Is in the city for a few days.
He arrived at midnight Saturday night,
and at once sought some of the sporting
fraternity with a view of arranging for
gn athletic contest in this city. He an
nounced that he would guarantee to meet
any three local men in ten rounds, or any
two men In six rounds.
Yesterday three men were found who
agreed to meet him In a ten round con
test and if the police officials do not in
terfere the exhibition will probably come
off Saturday night In O’Brien's opera
house.
Smith knocked out Mike Cleary m one
minute and twenty-five seconds at Hot
Springs; George La Blanch, the Marine,
in four minutes in Denver. Col.; Lau
rance Farrel in six minutes, also in
Denver; Reddy Gallagher in three
rounds; Patsey Crowder in three rounds
in Portland, Ore., and Barney Riley in
two round*; John P. Clow in six rounds
in Dodge City, Ks.; Jim Daley in five
rounds at Buffalo, N. Y.; George God
frey in twenty-three rounds. Peter JacK
son, the negro fighter, who wanted to
match with Sullivan and Corbett, fought
a draw with Smith in Chicago June 17,
1890. Smith also fought a draw with
Charley Mitchell in England in 1879.
Thisi was twenty-four rounds. He
fought a six-round draw with Jake Kil
rain in 1892 at Grtffwood, Pa. His last
fignt was with Joe Goddard In New Or
leans on the 3d of March, 1893. Smith
put his antagonist out in eighteen
rounds This is s»id to be the best fight
that has ever taken place before any
athletic club in America.
Denver Ed Smith has never been whip
ped in a fight. He is as game as they
make them and will not countenance
any kind of a fake arrangement.

The following, which appeared In the
Cincinnati Enquirer last week, speaks
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 26. 1895.
Friend Hilly: I hear you are looking
for a good pugilist. I'm your mutton.
I'm open for a go. I'll fight any bloody
bloke on the face of God's green earth.
I'll go to England, Australia. South Af
rica, or any place you think there is a
blooming chance of getting a go. Yours
truly, DENVER ED SMITH.
Pugilist.
Colonel Thompson at once sent a reply
to the letter. “I made him a good, liberal
proposition,” said the colonel. “I told
him I would be his manager on the condi
tion that he would abstain from drink
and take care of himself. Fit and well
I consider him one of the gamest fight
ers in the world. The only time he was
ever in condition was when he fought
Joe Goddard, and when he whipped him
I think he whipped one of the greatest
men that ever pulled a shirt over his
head. I think he is the most likely as
pirant for championship honors In the
world today. By rights he is the world's
champion as he stands. This is not pipe
talk. Look the field over and see
If this isn’t true. Joe Goddard was the
only man that ever posted a forfeit and
Issued a challenge to Corbett that Cor
bett did not accept. That proceeding
gave Joe Goddard the championship and
Denver Smith whipped Goddard. That
makes Denver Smith the world’s cham
pion. He has a far better claim to the
title than Peter Maher. If we agree on
terms Peter Maher will be the first man
I’ll go after and Fitzsimmons will be the
next. I think It would be like picking
cherries for him to whip Fitz.”
Of course there is little likelihood that
a championship fight could be arranged
here, but it may be probable that a good
fistic contest can be arranged.

CONGRESSIONAL.
Mr. Reed may not have to "count a

be will have to manage.—Cleveland Plain
Jlcaler, Dem.
Secretary Lamont reports that If the
■Cortifylng of our seacoasts goes on at the
cate it has since 1890 it will take seventy
years to complete the work as originally
ylanned. Hadn't Chandler better post
pone his war?—Springfield Republican,
Slug.
The proposition to reform congress by
taking away the desks and easy chairs
of the members and giving them only
bard benches to sit upon is a great Idea.
It might be further expanded by limiting
the members to the old-fashioned Jury
tare of bread and water until they for
swear private bills and expedite the pub
lic business.—Pittsburg Dispatch, Rep.
The lull In gold exports was caused by
the wish to learn Just what President
Cleveland would recommend in the way
of financial legislation, and also what
could be expected from congress. It now
■eems settled that there will be nothing
done at Washington but the passage of
the appropriation bills, and hence no like
lihood that the present currency system
will be changed. The foreign bankers,
led by firms who were In the recent liel
aiont-Morgan syndicate, see a good
Ohance of another bond issue In the near
future, and so they are starting the flow
of gold over the seas again.
Capt. D. W. Wood, the attorney who Is
• lifelong friend of Senator John Sher
man, has retiu-ned from Ohio, and Is au
thority for tire statement that there Is a
well defined sentiment In various parts
of the country in favor of tile venerable
statesman for president In 1896. Captain
Wood says: "I can say that we have this
assurance, that Senator Sherman will
not enter the scramble to contest for the
nomination. The move of his friends
to have his name presented to the con
vention will be dignified and becoming.
A colored man from the far south could
with propriety arise in that convention
•and nominate him, for one of our main
contentions will be that he Is a man of
Hie nation and not of any particular
atate. This thing is sure—the next na
tional convention will be' asked to con
fer his claims, and we cannot but be
lieve that they will be treated with the
almost consideration.”

MEDICAL
DISCOVERY
Many years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel
and Surgical Institute, Buffalo. N. Y., com
pounded this medicine of vegetable ingredi
ents which had an especial effect upon the
stomach and liver, rousing the organs to
healthful activity as well as purifying and
enriching the blood. By such means the
stomach and the nerves are supplied with
pure blood; they will not do duty without it
any more than a locomotive can run with
out coal. Yon can not get a lasting cure of
Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, by taking arti
ficially digested foods or pepsin—the stom
ach must do its own work in its own way.
Do not put your nerves to sleep with so
called celery mixtures, it is better to go to
the seat of the difficulty and feed the nerve
cells on the food they require. Dyspepsia,
Indigestion, Biliousness and Nervous Af
fections, such as sleeplessness and weak,
nervous feelings are completely cured by
the " Discovery." It puts on healthy flesh,
brings refreshing sleep and invigorates the
whole system.
Mrs. K. Henxk, of No. 896 North Hoisted St.,

THE BEST OF ALL
In All Things All The Time
THERE are many GOOD life insurance companies, but among
them all there must be one BEST. THE BEST is THE
EQUITABLE. If you wish to know why, send for: i, the
report of the Superintendent of Insurance for the State of New
York on the examination of The Equitable; 2, for actual results
of maturing policies; 3, for statement of death claims paid in

Equitable’s supremacy: First, its financial stability; second,
its great profits and advantages to Jiving policy-holders; third,
the promptness of its payments and liberality of its settlements.
