After two davs of hard fighting the American chess team vanquished the British team toniaht. thla being the seventh of the International series of matches for the Newnes cup. America won five and a half games and Qreat Britain four and a half. The distinction of achieving the first vic tory fell to the Englishmen bv virtue of Trenchard's brilliant defeat of Delmar on board 7.

This was a hard blow, as the Brooklyn Chess clnh had relied on Marshall and Plllsbury win ning their respective games. At that time the outlook was that the match would be lost. Hymes was then In difficulty and Volgt appeared to be beaten. The former, however, soon extricated himself and ac cented a draw. Volgt also redeemed him self, the game being eventually drawn. ror a long time anerward the acore re mained at I to 1 In favor of Eneland. tho solitary win for the American side having oeen acnievea later on me last DOard by Holmes. Plllabury waa unable to make any headway against Lawrence and had to be satisfied with a draw. Barry made a areat effort to win. but could not da mn and finally accepted the offered draw. After the agreement of the contending parties the remaining games remained as stated above and the victory belonged to ine Americana.

If there is any disease entitled to such a distinction it Is certainly dyspepsia. It is safe to say that not one person In ten enjoys the blessings of perfect digestion, strange though it mar seem. Why is this Digestion is glow process by which nature transforms the food into a state suitable for nourishment for the body. The time required varies from one to six hours or more, according to- the food.

At noon, it's rush home or to the lunch counter, eat his lunch hastily while fatigued and out of breath, then rusb back to busi ness. One of the greatest essentials to pro per digestion is the mastication or chewing of food, to thoroughly mix It with sallta.

LONG CAREER OF LIVELY ADVENTURE Cewbor nnd Texns Ranger, lie Finally Turns Gambler nnd Geod Fel low nnd Dies Quietly Among- Friends. When Tim tapped Joe Deason on the shoulder, saying, 'The game la over; turn out the lights,' he closed the career of a man who was typical of a class that made the liveliest kind of history on tbe south west frontier," said "Bob" Cumlngs, the well known local aport, who haa had aome Texan axperlencea of hla own, while re ferring to Demon's recent audden death from a paralytic atroke. "Joe waa closely associated with aome of tha most daring and reckless men in Texaa," continued Cumlngs, "and this association could be es tablished and maintained only by men who did not know what the word fear meant, and who knew how to handle a gun more quickly than the other fellow. Those who lacked nerve and wboae Judgment when to shoot waa not on a hair trigger died with their boots on very early In their career. Joe'a early training was with a gang of the widest young fellows that ever 'busted tha Indian Nation aquare open,' and with thla performance a man waa considered to have taken hla degree among tbe cowboys or mat time. Wkere tbe Own Fighter Flourished. Thla waa about tha time when the rail road first reached Abilene, Kan., after which tha cattlemen began trailing berda up through Indian Territory. What thla meant may be understood from the fact that in 187 there waa a drive of 500,000 head of cattle to Kansas, making a trail one mile wide and 1,600 miles long, the greatest on record. Joo made a number of those drives, became accuatomed to the hardship and dangers, to the wild scenes of drinking and gambling, and well known among the toughest element in all Texas. Among these were Phil Coe. 'Wild Bill' Hlckok. one time marshal or Abilene, wno killed Coe; Luke Short, a noted gun fighter and one of tha famoua Dodge City Peace commissioners; Ben Thompson, once mar shal of Austin, who killed seventeen white men, besides a long unrecorded list or Mexicans and 'niggers,' and who waa cele brated becauae be never missed or wounded a man: Billy 81ms of Ban Antonio, who got the drop on Thompson and ended his career. and who ahot Will Raynor, another frontier aport, at El Paao. Thompson waa famil iarly called the 'Lion of the Boutn- ana probably tha most celebrated gun fighter of hla time. "It waa about tbla period that Deason made himself known aa a gun expert. Joe was auch a good-natured, jolly fellow that aome of the toughs thought ha would be an easy mark. 'Six-Shooter Frank,' a notorious tough, selected Joe as an easy thing in poker. Notwithstanding "Slx- Sooter Frank' waa aa expert card manipu lator. Joo beat him at every turn and tbe latter aaw that hla only chance to get ahead of Joe wan to start a fight and do aoma shooting. Waiting until a big pot waa on tha table. 'Six-Shooter Frank,' claiming a mistake had been made, started to pull his gun, but Deason'a training with men Ilka Ben Thompson came into play and like a flash bo covered his man, made htm throw up bla hands, apologise and abjectly promise to ever after be so good tnat nis oia ac quaintances wouldn't recognise him. Frank waa guyed unmercifully and left town. Joe waa never taken for an easy mark again. He had established himself. Life n Round of Hustle. In the early 70' s a lot of wild young fel- lowa, who then and aver after refused to take a serious 'view of anything except to maintain a reputation for daring and fearlessness, weat about tbe country and became known aa the Sam Baas gang. They were all members of excellent families wsll educated and good fellows, as tha phrase vas thea unltntood. Joe became (j 0 Disease. of these Jnlef s. With the body fatigued and continually in action, tbe blood is drawn away from the digestive organs, hence the digestive fluids cannot be supplied. Natur ally this leaves a lot of undigested food in the stomach that Is not only useless but harmful. Now what is to be done? It must be digested. A little stimulant might help it temporarily, but that makes the next meal still more difficult to digest, as it draws on the digestive Juices unnatur ally and soon exhausts them. The only cor rect, common sense way of treating these cases is to furnish a substitute, which must, in order to be effectual, contain exactly the same elements in exactly the same propor tions as the natural digestive fluids. The one preparation which can be abso lutely proven to meet these requirements Is Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It is not an experi ment at your expense but the result of ex periments at our expense. It is not a mere stimulant to aid digestion, but la itself a combination of all the dlgestanU and actu ally digests the food by its own individual powers of action without any aid whatever from the digestive organs. It will digest food even in a bottle under proper condi tions, temperature, etc., so it certainly can't help having the same action in tbe stomach. all the good troubled for this that some sufferers I was may be led to try Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for I think they will be restored to health if they will. very respectfully, W. n.

When they were running off cattle from the Commanche and other In diana, they were rendering lively assist ance In running down cattle and horse thieves, and alwaya were In at the death. Casual raids on Indian cattle were not then considered mora than recreation from the more exciting and dangeroua work of run ning down desperate characters who harassed aettlera all along the frontier. For two years Joo remained with the Basa crowd and did hla share In keeping north ern Texaa and the Indian Territory In perpetual unrest.

Birth of Texas Rangers. In 1876 cattle stealing became such nuisance that Richard King, long known as the cattle king of America, whose private range along the Nueces river and Santa Gertrude ranch was seventy-five miles long and twenty-five miles wide; Colonel Eugene Millet, James F. Ellyson of San Marcos, W. B. Mines of Tree Palacios, Matagorda county, and other leading cattlemen, aroused by the only partially restrained lawlessness of a gang of horse thieves un der the leadership of Ada MUdy and BUI Brooking, and another led by Wes Hardin and King Fleher, determined to bring about a reform. They aecured a state ap propriation of $10,000 for two yeara. and the famoua Texas Rangera were reorganised. At this time many of tbe judges in . the courts were more or less in league with the bandits, and many sheriffs owed their election to them and their friends. This condition of affaire made it Impossible, or extremely difficult to secure convictions and the cattlemen concluded to wipe out the cattle thieves. This movement opened wide the door to Bass and his followers for new adventurea. Joe Deason and many of the most prominent and well con nected young men of the state Joined and It waa recognised far and wide as a badge of distinction to be a Texaa Ranger. Cap tain Lea Hall, Joseph Shely and Captain McNally were among the active leadera. The rendesvoua of the thieves waa in the dense timber along the Guadalupe and San Antonio rlvera. Thess bands of thieves were made up of the most desperate char acters on the frontier. Partly because of fear and partly because many of tha aet tlera were secretly outlaws themselves, tbe cattle thieves had friends scattered all over the country and were able to evade the Rangera for a long time.
