In an ticipation of his go. with Kranta in the armory, tomorrow night, Jimmle Reilly js driving steadily at the training. He is In fine" shape 'and ? his spirits are boiling over. He 'is confident of wln - nlng the scrap, but is taking no chances His training quarters are in the Cataract engine house and when he punches the bag he makes the big building tremble. , , Yesterday Reilly did not. work in. the morning, but took a good, rest, ; In the afternoon he did about 10 miles-oa the road, j Reilly is becoming quite a. famil ' tar. figure on the road now. "Bob" Thorn Reilly's trajner, watches his man closely and is bringing him into fine fettle. ' Thorn said of him yesterday; "Reilly is in as good condition as I have ever seen anybody. He is natural t ly strong, but the strength he has de veloped since he has been training" is amazing. His wind is perfect, r He has done better than 10 miles this afternoon and .has , worked hard , at bag punching -and he Is scarcely breathing. . Good wind? Well, I guess he has plenty for himself, and then some for Krants. He is sure to win the, bout In about 10 . rounds." . - . - , . Reilly Is making friends fast here In the city and there is always a good crowd to see him train. Now and then some of his friends come up from Port land to see him work and Bert Sullivan la always on hand to exchange blows w!fh bimv Reilly doe not say much about the mill, but he let out the fol lowing yesterday:' "If will be slam ,banging match from the sound of the gongi Krants is going .to mix It from tlie start and I am going to bang Into 'hint as soonas'I get up at .him." To illustrate how he would finish Krants, Reilly made several fierce lunges and rushes at the weight punching bag. His ' ambition was too great, however, as at his last rush the rope broke and Reilly rolled on the floor. He laughed at this as If it were a great Joke and con tinued? "I Believe that Lam in the best shape thattl have ever been in and that Is saying a good deal. The bout will come to me about the. 10th round. Krants is a husky lad, but he will get his beating. He is training pretty quiet ly and it is reported that few are allowed to see- him. . I am just the opposite. When I am training I like the fellows to come around andgivejne a Jolly be cause if helps." -The boxers will spar in a iO-foot ring nd arrangements will be made to raise the Seats so that all will have a chance to see the exhibition. There Is consid erable betting, the money being about even. Krants' manager; Frank Osborn. hs 1200 that will be covered by Retliy money. There is quite a few local beta and there will be considerable at the ringside. ." ":' - There will be one of ' the ' largest crowds .that ever witnessed a Contest of this kind In Oregon City. There will be special car from Portland to bring the crowd up and the O. W. P. Co. will -run special cars back after the scrap.

He's opened wide his purse strings and haa a contract for "The Mighty Overall" to pitch for the Tigers tfilg season. To dp this Mike had to negotiate with Ovle, with the keenest sort of an argument that wins, . and Overall promised his family, hla friends and all others that he would never wear the uniform of a ' professional -. ball player, i Fisher had to talk this notion out of the college star's head. It will be a question now a; to which had the more eloquence. Fisher's dulcet tones or Fisher's ahlnlng twenties.4 Manager Fisher -refuses to say Just what Ovie'B aalary will be. but admits that the pitcher will get . as much, and perhaps more, than Morley paid Joe Corbett last year. - This waa a flat salary of $500 a month. Word comes from : some of Overall's Visalla friends that his salary will be 1400 a month, with a bonus big enough to start a bank account for sign ing with Fisher. v . - . Fisher went to Visalla this morning and met Overall just aa he had come in from his morning's work on his lemon orchard. Fisher caught Ovle in the right humor and he agreed to sign if Fisher eould - get-the oM. J folks' con sent' He was introduced to Overall's mother and father. In an hour's con versation Fisher Induced them to allow their son to go with him, and he will Join Tacoma here on Sunday. "I've signed the Christy Matthewson of the west," said Fisher.

Dyspepsia Will Be Driven Off the Earth. . The great and effective work of Stu uart's Dyspepsia Tablets is no longer confined to America. They are being uaed now all over the world, for their fame has spread throughout ' foreign countries and they cure dyspepsia- in all lands and all climates just aa well as they do at home. In fact surround ings and conditions never interfere with the successful work of Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets, not even the conditions of the stomach Itself. They go ahead in their own natural way, regardless of the stomach, and digest the food that the bad stomach cannot digest, and permit that organ to do just aa it pleases, rest up, take a vacation, get well or what not The stomach, however, alwaya makes it a point to get well when it has nothing else to do. That's what stomachs always have done . and will continue to do when they have the op portunity. A prominent Detroit physician saysr "I prescribe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for all cases of stomach trouble. ' I have tried many prescriptions, including a number of my Own, but And nothing that gives such universal relief aa this rem edy. They are natural, harmless and thoroughly effective In their work, and wbile Ihave anatural antipathy to pat ent medicines, I do not hesitate to pre scribe and recommend Stuart' Dyspep sia Tablets on all occasions." -Stuart's J-Uyepepsla Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 60 cents a box. They are so well known and their doiiu. larity is so great that a druggiet would as soon think of. being out of alcohol or quinine. 1 The above testimonial of the Physician is no exception., In fact. nhv. stclana are prescribing them all over the tana, ana n your own aormr is real hon est with you he will tell you frankly that there Is nothing on earth so fond for dyspepsia as 6 mart's Dyspepsia Tab lets, . .
