Itl'KNH LOHHH TITLE TO HIO (1ALVKHTON NEflKO. ollce Prevent Johnson From ScorliiK KuiM'kout on lliully Itcnten (unmlluil In the 1 tth. SYDNEY, N. S. W., Dec. 25. Jack Johnson, the big negro, from Gal veston, Texns, is the world s heavy weight champion. He won the title today In the big arena at Kushcutters Hay from Tommy Hums, the French Canndlan, who had held It since Jas. I. Jeffries relinquished It, and after a chase of Burns that led half way around the world. Tho end came In the 14th round, when the police, seeing Burns totter ing and unable to defend himself from tho savage blows of his oppo nent, mercifully stopped tho light. Previously It had been arranged that, if the police Interfered, a decision should be rendered on points, and Kcferee Mcintosh declared the big black man a winner, for all through the fight ho had shown himself Hums' master In every style of fight ing. Too Hlg, Itencli Too (Jrr-nt. Bums, In an interview after he had gone to his dressing room, said: "1 did tho best I could and fought hard. Johnson was too big and his reach was too great." Johnson nppeared fresh after the fight, while Burns' eyes were badly purred and his mouth swollen to al most twice Its normal size. He fought a game bnttle, and showed Indom itable pluck, but ho was no match for the big Texns black. Tho fight wns for a purse of $35, 000, of which Burns received $30, 000, Johnson $5000. First Ncirro t'liiiiiiplon. Johnson Is tho first negro who ever won the world's heavyweight pugl llctlc championship In fact, he is the only negro who evor wns permit ted to battle for the honor. He wns born hi Galveston. Texns, In 1878. and began his ring enrcer In 1901. Ho Is 6 feet 1 3-4 Inches in height and weighed at tho ringside close to 190 pounds. Johnson during his ring career has fought 64 ring battles, and 22 of his opponents hnve gone down to defeat by tho knockout route. Prominent among those who have been put to sleep by the big black aro Jack Jeffries, a brother of the ex-heavyweight champion., who was knocked out by Johnson at Los An geles In 1902 In five rounds. He has lost but two fights, one in a 20-round decision to Marvin Hart and the oth er on a foul to Joe .leanette. Not since tho days of James J. Corhett has tho prize-ring seen so Iterfect a boxer as Johnson. Long and lithe, he is as graceful as a dancing-master and as true as an arrow In placing his blows. F.soclally deft Is he with his left, and few boxers, un less they have great skill, are able to keep the big black man from beat ing their faces to tatters.

Itoseburg women know how the aches and pains that come when the kidneys fall make life a burden. Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy spellB, distressing urinary troubles, all tell of sick kidneys and warn vou of the stealthy approach of diabetes, dropsy and Brlght's disease. Donn's Kidney Pills permanently cure all these disorders. Here's proof of It In a Itoseburg woman's words: Mrs. James Arrance, Pltzer St., Roseburg, Or., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills proved of such great benefit to me that I do not hnve any hesitancy In recommending them to anyone In need of such a remedy. Kidney com plaint clung to me for a long time and on some occasions I was given such misery from pains In the small of my back that It was utterly Im possible for me to perform my house hold duties. There was also a con stant soreness through the region of my kidneys and at times considerable swelling In thoso parts. No remedy I tried benfltted me and when a friend Insisted on my trying Doan's Kidney Pills I procured a box at A. C. Marsters & Cos drug store and commenced their use. The good ef fect were noticeable from the first and as I continued taking them, the lameness In my loins disappeared, as also did the pains In my back." For sale by ell d-ugglsts. Price 60 cents.
