Backers and Friends of the Califor- nian Cheer Wildly When the Referee’s Decision Is Announced. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—Dal Hawkins, the lightweight pugilist from the Pa- cific Slope, made short work of Kid- McPartland of this city, whom he met in the arena of the Lenox Athletic Club to-night. The bout was decided in the third round, the New Yorker being knocked out with a left swing on the jaw. Hawkins opened favorite in the betting at 100 to 80, but these odds did not last long, and even money ruled when the men donned the gloves. This was the third time Hawkins has fought before a New York club. He won from Joe Gans in fifteen rounds the last time he anneared here and was knocked out by Spike Sullivan on his second visit. The men agreed to box under Mar- quis of Queensberry rules and to break when called on. They were annpunced to go twenty-five rounds. Each weigh- ed 135 pounds at 3 o'clock this after- noon. Round 1—After some slow work Haw- kins got in a left hook on Mac's stomach and the Kid fell to his knees, but arose quickly and they exchanged left hooks on the stomach and head before the bell sounded. Round 2—Mac cut out the pace, with Hawkins on the defensive, but very little was done by either until near the close, when Hawkins landed a very hard left hook in the wind. Round 3—Hawkins was first to count, swinging his left on the ribs. Mac replied with a left on the head. Then both sent left hooks to the head. Mac sent a straight left to the face, and Dal sent his right over the heart. This blow weakened McPartland, who a few seconds later was sent to the floor with a left hook on the Mac rolled over, but got to his feet ne seconds. Both made passes at close quarters. Dal sent his right and left to the jaw and Mac landed a short left wing on Dal's jaw. Just as Mac started to sprint away Hawkins let fly another long left swing which landed flush on ac's jaw and the New Yorker dropped like a log, flat on his back. He lay as if dead, while the referee counted ten, and | then McPartland’s seconds carried their man to his corner. Referee Charley White declared Haw- kins the winner, while the backers and friends of the Californian stood up and cheered wildly. The time of the round was two minutes and thirty-one sec- onds. Frank Bradley of Philadelphia and Billy Needham of St. Paul put up a lively fight in the preliminary of ten rounds at 126 pounds. Both men were pretty well marked up at the finish. The referee decided in favor of Bradley.

The Gas Company Begins a Fight for Back Bills Due From the City. The gas company considers the city a bad debtor and has refused to honor re- quests for an aggregate of a thousand new lights asked for during the last month by the Board of Supervisors. And the company has announced to the board, though quietly, that it will not honor further requests until Mayor Phe- lan’s veto gets the charley horse and out of business. Since October 7 monthly bill of the gas company that has come in has been passed by the board, but sent back to it adorned with the Phelan veto. Mr. Phelan has taken this action not because he does not enjoy the effulgence of the company’s illumin- ant, but because he does not believe it should be pald for if he can find a legal technicality to evade it. The result isthat every payday compels a hustling _for enough votes to override his edict. Tt is invariably done, but the bills are stopped at the Auditor’s office by an injunction and the stream of dollars from the treas- ury effectually dammed, h people have finally begun to fight back and the threat was floating around yesterday that “unless there was something done in the next two weeks Mr. Phelan would be obliged to write his Veto messages by the light of a tallow dip. As it is there will be no more light requests honored until present obligations are liquidated.” — e ——— Christmas Magic, by Professor Hoffman, in next Sunday’s Call. _— e———— Niles Searls Recovering.

What a New Discovery in Medical Science Proves. THE WORK YOUR KIDNEYS HAVE TO DO. The Discoverer of Swamp-Root at Work in His Laboratory. SWAMP-ROOT Is the Grea t Remedy for Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid Troubles—To Prove for Yourself Its Wonderful Merits, You May Have a Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely FREE by Mail. You can waste health without know- ing it, and poor health almost always begins in the kidneys. The most important organs of the whole body are the kidgpeys. They filter your blood and keep it pure. People are apt to believe that kidney disease is rather a rare disease, but re- cent discoveries have proved that it is a most common trouble indeed. And the proof of this is, that most diseases, perhaps 85 per cent, are caused in the beginning by disorders of the kidneys. You can’t be sick if your blood is pure, free from kidney poison and dis- ease-breeding germs. Your kidneys should keep it so. That’s what they are there for. And as long as they are well they perform their du- ties with thoroughness and dispatch. You are well when your kidneys are. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, will make your kidneys well when they are sick. Kidney trouble often comes from overwork or overexertion. From ex- posing them to cold and other weaken- ing influences, from lifting or a strain, worrying. From overeating or over- drinking. All these things weaken your kidneys and poisonous germs be- gin to creep into your blood. It is at just such times that Dr. Kil- mer’s Swamp-Root is needed. ‘When your kidneys are not doing their work, the symptoms which prove it to you are backache, headache, sedi- ment in the urine, scalding irritation in passing it, obliged to go often dur- ing the day and to get up many times |at night; dizziness, {irregular heart, bladder or urie acid troubles, rheuma- tism, neuralgia, sleeplessness, nervous- ness, irritability, sallow complexion, bloating, dropsy, tired feeling, loss of energy and ambition. Swamp-Root is a vegetable remedy, the great discovery of Dr. Kilmer (the eminent kidney and bladder specialist), and has truly marvelous restorative powers over the kidneys. You can set your whole system right with Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. The best proof of this is a trial, and nothing could be fairer than the offer to send a sample of this great discov- ery for trial absolutely free to any ad- dress. To get the sample and a book that tells more about this interesting sub- ject, write to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing- hamton, N. Y., and mention that you read this Iiberal offer In the San Fran- cisco Daily Call. If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root is what you need, you ean purchase the regular 50-cent or $1 sizes at the drug stores. AMUSEMENTS. AMUSEMENTS.
