Adair, representative of the Eighth congressional district, has wired his acceptance of the offer of the Knights of Pythias to speak at the golden jubiless celebration' here a week from today, taking the place of Governor Ralston, who asked his release from the engagement last week.

EVERS FREE AGENT; MURPHY IS PEEVED Says There is a Conspiracy to Drive Him Out of Baseball But He Will Not Sell.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12. President Charles W. Murphy of the Chicago Cubs today threw down the gauntlet to his fellow magnates of the National League and to organize baseball. Murphy plainly showed his wrath over the action taken by the board of directors of the league in upholding John Evers, his deposed manager, as against himself, by declaring Evers a "free agent." Challenging his foes with an attempt to drive him out of organized baseball or out of the Chicago club, he said : "I consider the Chicago club interests first and the National League second. What I do I do for the best interests of the Chicago club. If other people don't like it, they don't have to. "If Evers wants to go to the Federals, he is welcome to do so and they are welcome to him. As far as I am concerned Evers mentally is now a free agent. "For six years certain people have been trying to chase me out of baseball. I am in baseball to stay. Organized baseball and the National League are secondary in my consideration. My interests are Charles Murphy and the Chicago club. I'm running it to suit myself and I'd like to see anyone try to get me out. I would not sell for double the price of my stock."

He studied the Bible and used it in his speeches andjnany of his expressions have become classical. We know his j business career was not a success, but ; his life was a success. He was not even a bucccbs in the legislature, but ; he centralized his mind and effort and i developed his knowledge of law and politics and finally was the man fitted for the rreat problem that was to come.

An Easy Way to Get Fat and He Strong The Trouble with most thin folks Wio wish to gain weight is that they ! insist on druggisg their stomach or stuffing it with sreasy foods; rubbing on useless "flesh creams," or following ronie fooltah physical culture stunt while the real cause of thinness goes untouched. You can not pet fat until your digestive tract assimilates the j food you eat. Thanks to the remarkable now scilentifie discovery, it is now possible to : combine into simple form the very elements needed by the digestive organs to help them convert food into rich, fat-laden blood. This masterstroke of modern chemistry is called Sargol and has been termed the greatest of flesh builders. Sargol aims through its regenerative, reconstructive powers to coax the stomach and intestines to literally soak up the fat- : tening elements of your food and pass them into the blood, where they are carried to every starved, broken down cell and tissue of your body. You can readily picture the result when this amazing transformation has taken place and you notice how your cheeks fill out, hollows about your neck, shoulders and bust disappear and you take on from 10 to 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh. Sargol is absolutely harmless, inexpensive, efficient. Leo H. Fihe and other leading druggists of Richmond and vicinity have it and will refund your money if you are not satisfied, as per the guarantee found in every package. Caution While Sargol has given excellent results in overcoming nervous dyspepsia and general stomach troubles it should not be taken by those who do not wish "to eain ten pounds or more-

SOLUTION OF HOME RULE MATTER SEEH Advocates of Peace in jGrave Irish Question Were Much More Hopeful Today. BY HERBERT TEMPLE." LONDON. Feb. 12. Indication more favorable to a compromise were apparent in the home rule conflict today. While the Unionists were JubW lant over the greatly reduced majority by which the government defeated their demand for a general election, they admitted that the coalition of Irish Nationalists and Liberals was strong enough to pass the measure. The Liberals, though certain that they bad the whip hand, were led to seek a peaceful solution of the difficulty, believing that many of their party had

refused to vote against the Unionist because of Ulster's threats to revolt. and hoping that a rnrat"",, on tho home rule measure would assure united front on the-remainder of the legislative program. The majority of 7S secured by the government last night was the small est in three votes taken with the home rule bill as the direct Issue. It showed a decrease from twenty and thirty-one from the majority recorded on the two other occasions. The liberal leaders asserted today that many of their members were ill and that the followers of William O'Brien failed to vote. Whatever the cause of the government slump, advocates of peace took heart today and redoubled their efforts to reach a compromise. The ebiei obstacle In the way of a' compromise w as the unbending attitude of Sir Carson, the Ulster leader. He reiterated his declarations that no compromise would be accepted that failed to give Ulster her liberties and rights. UNEMPLOYED RIOT. DETROIT. Mich..
