Ckanvater and Powers Hay Brilliant Fool iu Their Contest COLUMBUS BILL CIjUB NOT FOR SALE TCPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TnE Disr-ATCH.1 New Xokk, Dec. 11. To-morrow one of the greatest pigeon shooting matches ever held in this country will be decided at Voodlawn Park, L. L The contestants are Captain John L. Brewer and E. D. Fulford, two of the best shots in America. This match js the outcome of three matches these men shot at Marion, If. J., last month. On that occasion ITulford won two and Brewer one. In the first two of these matches they broke all previous known records, Tulford killing 100 straight birds in the Srst to Brewer's 99. In the second JFulford killed 90 to Brewer's 98, and in the third match, which was finally won by Brewer through Fulford's gun breaking, they tied at 94 birds eacli. On the shoot off at 25 birds Brewer won. The conditions of this contest are as fol lows: Two hundred and fifty birds each at SO yards rise, 80 yards boundary, under modified Hurlingham rules for $1,000 a side and the gate receipts. Trap shooters all over the country are interested in the com ing struggle and hundred1! of them will be on hand to-morrow to witness the match. Considerable betting has been indulged in on the approaching contest, Brewer being a slight lavoritc. It is safe to sav that YVood lawn Park, large as it is, will be none too big to accommodate the crowd. The shoot will commence promptly at 10 o'clock and will probably last sic or seven hours. Both men arrived in town to-day. Fulfordwent straight to YVoodlawn Park for practice, so as to get acenstomed-to the ground. He backs himself and is chuck full of confidence. He has a new; Greener gun, which he says is a "dandy," and with which he expects to bring down 245 out of the 250 birds. Brewer was around town to-day but did not do any practicing. He looks in fine condition and is confident he will be able to turn the tables on Fill ford. VEKY CLOSE W0EK. Powers and Clearwater Play Great Pool and Are Nearly Tied.

The brier history of a few cases is pub lished to how the wonderful power find efflcacv of Ijelectricity in cur ving uisease. A ladv S3 years - Jild applied to Dr. JLowc three vears 'ago. Had suffered 8. Lowe. constant pain for years. She had a constriction of the throat. It became almost impossible-forher to swal low sufficient food to snstaln life. It was impossible to swallow without sreat nain. -Sne felt as if a band of iron was turhtly drawn around her throat. Shu aIo suffered from nervous prostration. She began to im prove after one week's treatment, and in two weeks her recovery was complete. She has since enjoyed as good health as ever be- iore in ner me. A gentleman had cironic rheumatism. Joints stiff and every motion attended with great suffering. When he called on Dr. Lowe he could scarcely walk. After the first treatment he felt great relief, and in. one month was enred. Another gentleman had lumbago; conjd not stand withont support. After one treat ment ho could stand without assistance, and after his second treatment conkl walk with ease. A young man hid catarrh, which led to deafness of one ear, with an offensive dis charge. Tried leading ear specialists to no avail. After one month's use of electricity from Dr. Lowe he was cured, and since then his general health has been better than it had -been for years. These patients will gladly describe their condition and cure to anyone. Their names can be obtained at our office. Dr. Lowe is, a gradnate from t T'."iuicj. phia Electrical College.
