An Honest Tired Feeling - There is an "honest tired feel ing," caused by necessary toil and cured by natural rest. . But very different is " that tired feeling," from which ao many com plain and which may even be classed as a disease. That tired feeling takes you to bed tired and wakes you up tired. Tou have no appetite, have bil ious taste, dull headache, are ner vous and irritable, blue, weak and ' discouraged. In such conditions Hood's Sarsa parilla does a world of good. '; It begins in the right place in the blood, purifying it and impart ing vitality, then its tonio effect is felt by the stomach, kidneys and liver j appetite comes back, all waste Is removed naturally, headaches cease, that tired feeling departs and you feel like a new person. This has beea the experience of thousands. ; It will be yours it you take Hood's Sarsaparilla tkdd by all druggists.' Prepared ty & X. Hood Co, -Lowell, .Mas. HITCH IS THE PEACE TERMS Unsuccessful Termination of Negotiation! Between Boers and British ia Expected. BRITISH BALK AT AMNESTY TO REBELS Rimor Ways Sallahary Endeavors to Convince Klsg, Wks Favors Peace, of Impossibility of Barsjh era Proposals. (Copyright, 1908, by Prese Publlnhlng Co.) LONDON, April 1. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) A report was prevalent after today's Cabinet meeting that peace negotiations were virtually broken off. Premier Salisbury's visit to the king gave color to tblsi rumor, .a It was believed his object was to persdsde the - king, who strongly favors peace, that the Boer terms respecting amnesty and autonomy were Im possible of acceptance. The Intention attributed to the British cabinet to refuse to Include Cape rebels In the amnesty would certainly rupture ne gotiations. Oreat excitement prevails in (his city, where peace has been reckoned cn as certain and where opinion Is still optimistic. LONDON. April The Associated Press has excellent authority for saying that up to a late hour tonight there have been no definite developments In the matter of the peace negotiations. The Associated Press learns that Lord Mllner, the British high commissioner In South Africa, has defined certain proposi tion on which peace may almost imme diately be secured, but the cabinet, at its meeting today. Is said to have disagreed upon the merits of Lord Mllner's terms. Sparring- for Time. "Sparring for time" best describes the present status of the negotiations, neither side being willing to risk a decision which would break off the present conference. An agreement may be reached at any mo ment, but this would more likely be the re sult of seml-lndependent action by Lord Mllner and Lord Kitchener at Pretoria, than of the rather involved conditional de cisions of the cabinet at London. The broad lines of Great Britain's terms sre now known to the government repre sentatives at Pretoria and on these reo- resentatlves the cabinet la apparently shift- ng the responsibility of taking advantage of all opportunities provided no. cardinal principles be sacrificed. The government las ordered the cable and the telegraph ines between London and Pretoria to be kept clear to Insure the prompt transmis sion of Lord Kitchener's messages. There Is good reason to believe that the Boera are vigorously demanding a repre sentative government and that tbla de mand Is opposed with equal vigor bv tha British representatives. It is understood that the Boers slYonslv object to the long delay proposed by Great Britain before a representative government be granted the former republics and that they also Insist on the number of Boer seats In the council being specified. . It Is expected that the cabinet will re assemble tomorrow to discuss the matter further. . . . SAVINGS DEPOSITORS FIRST Wrecked Bank Aesets Mnat First Apply to that Class of Creditors. DETROIT.

ELEVEN INNINGS TO DECIDE Roufke'i Men Esquire. Two Extra Bounds to Beat Collegians. ENCOUNTER FAST BALL UNEXPECTEDLY indent Find No Tronble In Keeping Even with Opponents on Stick Work and Lose Only hy Flnke. Eleven strenuous innings wss what it cost ths Omaha leaguers to wrest victory from the University of Nebraska base ball team at Vinton street park yesterday, and the only additional attestation of ths merit of the game necesssry is the score 2 to 1. To say that the Rourke Rangers were taken by surprise is putting It mildly. They were completely nonplussed by the class of play the collegians handed to them. Two weeks sgo the -same teams plsyed three games at Lincoln, on the 'varsity men's home grounds, and everything was a walk away for Omaha. The status of affairs yes terday waa far different. In fact, there never was a point in the gams when the students had not equal chances with the professionals of winning ss fsr as the Immediate merits of ths con test went. For ths first three Innings, too, the undergraduates had the score 1 to 0. when Omaha finally evened it in the fourth by a close margin. And as far aa hits went. the amateurs led all the way, making nine off Owen, while eight were all the Gate City stickers could pole off Freshman Leatherby In the eleven Innings. Omahans In n Tranee. So astonished were the Omahans that they never really came out of their trance till along in the late innings. Then, when the score hsd stood st a tie for about four rounds, they woke up to the fact that tbsv were up against a game of base ball, snd from that time all their energies were bent to pulling out the game. Twice It seemed thst they had succeeded, once In the eighth where they got two singles In a row. and again in the tenth, when sn error snd hit put two more men on bases. But both times the clever youngsters from the cam pus brought about two more ciphers by tha very prettiest of base ball generalship snd execution. So the critical final came, and the first two men up. Gaines and Rhodes, went out ss usual. Then came "Sticks" DePutron. with his second hit, and a passed ball put him on second bsse. Raymond followed with a hot grounder to third, which "Sticks" Intercepted with his anstomy, putting him and his side out. For Omaha Hlckey went out. but Thomas followed with a triple, which won the game, ss on the next play he got home. Owen hit to Pitcher Leatherby and right there the "Freshman" made his sole mistake. Thomas was almost hslf wsy from third to home, shd Leatherby could have thrown nicely to third and had the league catcher between the bases. Instead he threw Owen out at first, and Raymond got the ball back to Catcher Bender Just too late to queer that winning run. Collegians Promise Well. It is a cinch' that If the collegians play the kind of base ball they showed yester day when they go en tour among the col leges of ths middle west in Msy. they will return with flying colors. They are not building student nines anywhere to beat this class of game. It is another cinch that the small attend ance of yesterday will not be duplicated today, for : the, lovers of the sport will be there tn numbers to watch the kind ot game that seems assured. Nobody felt bet ter than the Nebraskans themselves at their Sne showing snd they vow to nake as goo a one today It It is In them "Bobby" Gaines, ths sll-star athlete of the univer sity, will throw this afternoon snd his first snake will' wriggle over the plate at 3:30.

It Is profitable for anyone to study food In order to regulate the health, not with medicine- but by building up healthy nerve centers with good food.
