R Emerson swept the Eighth ward by a large plurality, and was elected alderman of the Eighth ward after a terrific campaign, which was waged for many days. Although the excitement was at fever heat at all times, no fights were reported to the police. All the saloons were closed, and the saloonkeepers were very conspicuous about the polling places, getting votes for their favorites. Although the weather was threatenng, a large vote was cast. Hegewisch and the East Side went entirely for P. 1 H. Moynihan and his plurality in these two places was enormous. Many large bets had been made throughout the day and also many freak ones. The entire Calumet Heights voted for Moynihan, with the exception of about ten, and the north end made an eual record for Moynihan. The democrat and republican boosters were in evidence early yesterday morning. The Illinois Steel company allowed its men two hours to vote. His plu rality was 800. The storm of yesterday afternoon played havoc in and around South Chicago, when windows were broken, flagpoles torn down and trees uprooted. The high wind, which accompanied the storm, blew all the signs along Ninetysecond street into the street. A plate glass window in the saloon of Jermiah Kalowski, Eighty-sixth street and Superior avenue, was broken, when a sign was blown through It. The large flag-pole in front of the main office of the Illinois Steel company was blown down. All street car service was delayed for over half an hour as a result of the storm. On Calumet Heights five huge trees at Ninety-third street and Elizabeth avenue were blown down by the terrific wind. All the basements along Ninety-second street were flooded and many merchants suffered heavy losses as a result. An attempt was made to settle the strike at the Chicago Shipbuilding com pany on the East Side, when John P. Gallisted, president of the East Side Improvement association, -sent a committee of men to the ship yards yes terday, but nothing could be learned what the superintendent said to them. The committee, which was appointed by Mr. Gallisted to go to the ship yards, were: Andrew Ringman, chair man; James J. Ahern, S. Scharbach, Walter Krimball, Robert R. Pikington, E. J. Peterson and W. R. Lletzel. All whom are members of the improvement association. The men at the ship yards went on a strike about six weeks ago, and the entire plant is closed as a result. Last night the third committee left for Springfield in the drenching rain, where today they will address an ap peal to the state legislature for a square deal for the Illinois Steel company. They will also make an appeal on account of the shallowness of the water. No boats were ever able to enter where the steel company filled in. When the steel company started to fill in the water was about three feet deep for a distance of about half a mile and no boat was able to trespass in such shallow water. Those who left for Springfield are the following: South .Chicago W. E. Schmidt, John Bokman, Thomas Healy, ex-Alderman John Derpa, Ed. Cohen and D. J. Deasy. East Side Andrew Ringman, M. H.

NOTES OF THE BOXERS Johnny Coulon has received an offer from Jimmy Coffroth, who will be in the city Friday, to meet Monte Attell, and if the weight question can be settled Coulon may make the match. At present too high a figure is set by Attell. Sam Langford, who has been matched with Al Kubiak for a bout in Philadelphia, is said to be taking on weight.

NELSON AG

BEES

THOaPSDH FOR 15,000 BE! Champion Declares He Will Wage Battle in Ten Days if He Can Get Guarantee Large as Wager Mentions McFarland.

Battling Nelson has agreed to fight Cyclone Johnny Thompson and has made the terms such that a match between the two most rugged lightweights in the game today should be clinched In the near future. Stung by the repeated challenges of Thompson, Nelson last night laid down the law to Cyclone, as follows: "If Thompson can get any clnb in the country to guarantee me $5,000 for a fight I'll box him for that and a $5,000 side bet. The bout must be at 133 pounds, ringside." Asked as to how soon he would be willing to wage battle the lightweight champion declared that he would meet Thompson within ten days if a club would meet his modest demand in that time. "These fellows have been talking flirht, but few of them really want my game," continued Nelson. "Welsh asks more than I do as a guarantee, and the promoters all eay that my demands are sufficiently large. Packey McFarland WANTS TOJTRY AG! Tommy Burns Cables His Manager a Deft to Jack Johnson. ANY BODY ELSE KILL DO Stanley Ketchel or Al Kaufman Are Also Welcome to Bout Place Not Specified. New York, April 7. Tommy Burns, from whom Jack Johnson wrested the heavyweight championship of the world, is anxious for another fight with the negro pugilist. Hugh D. Mcintosh, who promoted the Johnson-Burns fight and since has assumed the management of Burns, announced last night that he had been authorized, in a cablegram from Burns, to arrange for a return match with Johnson. He said he would post $5,000 today to bind such a match. Burns, he declared, was willing to fight Johnson anywhere, in Australia, Amer ica, England or France, and on any terms. If Johnson does not accept, Mcintosh said, Burns would fight Ketchel and Kaufman, but certain terms, which he would not make public at present. would have to be complied with by the last two named fighters. Burns will fight Johnson, Ketchel or Kaufman, one or all of them, Mcintosh declared. JIM BARRY LOSES TO FERGUSON Oil FOUL Hits Chelsea Pug Low Blow in Eleventh Round and Is Disqualified. Boston, April 7. Sandy Ferguson, the Chelsea heavyweight, won on a foul In the eleventh round of his fight with Jim Barry of Chicago at the Armory A. A. last night. Barry gained a lead in the early rounds by walking into his big antagonist and slamming him with right and left punohes to the body. Ferguson occasionally snapped in steamy straight lefts, but could not land with his right. Not until the enth round did Fergu son get over his deadly right and he staggered Barry for an Instant. In the eleventh they mixed it and wrestle dto the mat. Ferguson stayed down for the count and before he got to his feet Barry put over a couple of punches. Ferguson got to his feet before the full count and Barry stepped in with a lo-w blow. Referee Martin Flaherty broke them apart and disqualified Barry, giving the decision to Ferguson. Barry was in bad shape in the feleventh as Ferguson fastened two solid rights to the jaw which took much of the steam out of him. It looked like Barry would be knocked out. 1 Stags Is rusticating at Idaho Springs,

does the same, and then adds that he can't make the lightweight limit anyhow; that he is a welter. Now I have Just two things to tell Mr. McFarland. If he thinks he can do 133 pounds for me I'll bet him $5,000 that I can beat him. If he is a welterweight, as he says, I'll bet him $2,500 that Jimmy Clabby of Hammond can defeat him at the welterweight lim'.t, "I don't want anything softer than Thompson. Just let . him get the club and the $5,000 backing and 1 11 give him the finest lacing he ever ha3 had." Nelson, who is showing at Sid Euson's in Chicago this week, will spar with Jimmy Barry, the retired bantamweight champion of the world tonight. Tomorrow night the Dane will spar with Johnny Coulon. Larney Lltehenstein, Thompson's manager, when seen last night, declared he could get a club to offer a $3,00 purse, and that he thought that the Dane could be accommodated with the side bet he desires.

Ir. the morning I would be so stiff and lame that I could hardly crawl out of bed. and to lace my shoes was almost an impossibility. I did not rest well at night for two causes. First, on account of the frequent action of the kidneys, second, because of the pain in my back and loins. I was In this eonaitlon when Doan's Kidney Pilis were brought to my attention, and concluding to try them I procured a box. The benefit I received from the usi of this box was more than I have obtained from ail the other remedies put together. All the disagreeable symptoms were considerably lessened, and after using the contents of five, boxes, disappeared entirely. I am now in good health, have a strong back and am able to stoop or life without any Inconvenience. My kidneys are also in a healthy condition, the secretions being normal and regular and free from sediment. I am grateful to Doan's Kidney Pills and highly recommend them." For sale by all dealers.
