Corbet and Hall.
Chicago, August 5. Battery B was
crowded to the doors tonight with a
noisy colleotion ot humanity to see Jim
Oorbett and Jim Hall spar four rounds.
There was no bard hitting indulged in,
but a splendid exhibition of scientific
boxing was given. In skill Corbett had
plainly tbe better ot it. Although Hall
was quiok as a cat and reached the big
Oaliforuian frequently, the latter seemed
to have a surprising knack ot getting
away when he tried hard. Corbett's
ducking was wonderful, and be also
showed himself a great judgeof distance,
several of Hall's blows falling short a
hairsbreath only Hall, however, made a
good showing against bis opponent,
and proved that with one of bis class he
would cut considerable of a figure.
The Parent of Insomnia
The parent ot insomnia or wakefulness
is nine oases out or ten a ayspeptio
stomach. Good digestion gives sound
sleep, indigestion interferes w itb it. Tne
brain and stnmacb sympnaiuizes. une
of the prominent symptoms of a weak
state of the gastio organs is a disturbance
of the great nerve enterport, the brain.
Invigorate tbe stomach, and you' restore
equilibrium to the great centre. A most
reliable medioine nr tne purpose is hub
tetter's Stomach Bitters, which is far
oreferable to mineral sedatives and pow
erful narootios so ponfic upon tbe brain,
soon cease to act, and invariably injure
tbe tone of tbe operations of tbe stomaoh.
Tbe Bitters, on the oontrary, restore ac
tivity to the orierations of that all lniDor
ant organ, and their beneficent influence
is reflected in sound sleep , and a tran
quil state ot the nervous system. A
wholesome impetus is likewise given to
the aotion ot tbe liver snd bowels by its
nse.
YOUNG TROTTERS AND PACERS.
By early training we do not mean ex
clnsively oolt training, but the first les
sons given a horse ot any age, and we
will preface our remarks by Baying that
tbe first few weeks on the traok is tbe
most oritioal period of the career of
young trotters and paoers. It is indeed
wonderful how many young handlers
will not learn how to trot a Soft ooll or
horse.
There are three distinct classes of aot
ore nmong green bones, and while quite
different, all are alike subject to abuse
on account ot their peculiarities.
These olasses are tbe youngster with
lots of uniform speed, and a willingness
to show it; the one with speed in spots
and the one with really no speed. Every
handler and observer has noticed these
distinot olasses, and knows, also, that
the futnre winner is no ruoro oer
tainly found in one class than the otber.
For example, Axtell had no speed when
Wiilisms begiS driving him, while we
have all known ot phenomenally fast
green ones that never lived in condition
to face a starter.
With the apeedy youngster the anxiety
to see bow fast be oan go is so great that
nine times out ot ten, he is sent so fast
and so often that he knooks bimselt to
pieces or has tbe speed all knocked out
of him before he is in condition to go
fast quarters even, and, the first tbiog
we know, Mr. Brown's colt has struck a
tendon, lost his speed, or got sour
headed, and has to be turned out. With
the speedy in spots fellow there is usu
ally an uncontrollable 1 desire on tbe
part of the driver to see this speed
carried the mile out, and ere the student
(for horses in training are students) has
time to get to his knitting, he is repeatedly
scored for a half mile or mi'e trial, and
as often leaves his feet as soon as be
reaches near the top of his speed, and
tbis is kept up until he becomes an in
tolerably bad breaker, or becomes dis
couraged, aud loses, both bis head and
his speed. With tbe youngster or green
one that shows no particular speed at all
at first, many trainers become negligent,
and be is only driven when there is
nothing else to drive, and often when be
is bitched he is yanked, slashed and
iaoesaantly drilled to see if be has any
speed, nntil be is thoroughly discourag
ed before be has found out himself that
be has speed. Euoh of these distinot
classes of subjects need very different
and distinct handling, and trainers that
have the capacity for bandliog each one
acoording to its peculiarities is the
successful trainer. Exchange.

tbe McQuaid discovery, and the Smith
claim, which is an extension of the Mc
Quaid ledge located on tbe east side of
Elk Greek. The oharaoter of the ore in
the upper level is free gold and very
rioh, while in tbe lower level the ore is
base. Extensive development work baa
been done on tbis property and it is
counted one uf the richest mines in the
district. Tbe lower tunnel has been run
in 150 feet with a crosscut to strike tbe
vein whiob is seven feet wide. A shaft
has been Sunk 60 teet deep on tbe ledge
and tbe upper tunnel outs the bottom of
tbe shaft in 140 feet. Tbe ore is worked

that be was an enthusiastic rebel in bis
hatred toward the mother oonutry and

About tbe end of the disastrous cam
paign of 1776 he became so exasperated
at what he termed Washington's vacil
lating policy and weak met boils of deal

bitter attack in congress on the oomman-der-in-obief.
In a few days came the

The Long Creek Road.
From the Pendleton Tribune.
Parties coming to the oitv from the
Long Creek country report the road in
a bad condition by reason ot laok ot oare
and tbe tramping aoross of bands of
stock. Tbe trade of that section natnr.
ally belongs to Pendleton and will oome
here if the highway is kept in good con
dition. Too much money has already
been spent on this road and it is of too
great importance to the best interest ot
a vast region to allow it to be destroyed.
The matter needs attention from tba
authorities.
' Blood Poison
Is very liable to follow contact ot tha
bands or face with what is known as poi
son ivy, especially In hot weather or If
the body is perspiring freely. Tba
trouble may subside for a time, only to
appear in aggravated form when oppor
tunity offers. The great purifying pow.
era of. Hood's Sarssparilla thoroughly
eradicates every trace ot poison from tba
blood, as tbe cures it has accomplished
conclusively show. It also cures scrof
ula, sslt rheum and all otber affections
arising from impure or poisoned blood.
Billy Stewart was discharged from the
custody of tbe sheriff on examination
before Recorder Roberts last Thursday.
As reported in last issue, Stewart was
arrested for asanlting his step-father,
W. R. Newman, with a bread knife.

I think Ely's Gresm Balm is the best
remedy lor catari b I ever saw. I never
took anything that relieved me so quickly
and I have not felt so well for long
time. I used to be troubled with severe
headaches two or three times a week.
