TWELFTH ROUND.

TWELFTH ROUND.
This opened with heavy fighting. Mellin
was again knocked down by Keefe's left.
After the ten seconds he got up, bleeding
prcfusely, and resumed the desperate strug-
gle clinching, the cry of ''foup' was set up
again, the direst confusion prevailed and the
seconds were again in the ring. Everybody
was beside himself with excitement.
THIRTEENTH ROUND.
Mellin delivered heavy body blow and
forced the fight amid the most terrific yelling.
Keefe rallied and forced Mellin into his
corner and it looked as though the contest
was his, but Mellin rallied, only to be again
driven back to his corner. The intensity OF
the excitement increased, it was at fever
heat everybody seemed to claim foul and
the referee, after considering, allowed it.
FOURTEENTH AND LAST.
Patsy came up in good wind and forced
the fight with desperation, forcing Keefe to
the ropes and finally knocking him down.
Keefe then said, ''No use my trying to fight,
my hand is played out" This ended the
fight, and the people carried Mellin from the
ring upon their shoulders, cheering Justify,
after the two contestants had shaken hands.
Mellin's condition was rather worse than
Keefe, he having suffered the most punish
ment aside from Keefe's broken hand.
The party returned to Minneapolis, arriv-
ing at little past five.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Review of legis-
latiou for the past week clearly indicates the
impossibility of adjournment on June 30,
even though the senate might be disposed to
concur in the house resolution to disperse at
that date. There are only twelve working
days intervening between this and the thir-
portant and necessary business is yet in ar
rears.

SIXTH ROUND.

They opened rather logy, with cautious
sparring. Mellin finally forced the fight and
coming into close quarters, they clinched.
Not breaking promptly at the command, Mel
Inns referees grew excited and yelled foul %
They broke and Keefe with broad smile on
his face sent out another
left handler which astonished Mellin,
who retained his equilibrium with difficulty.
The round closed without further event, Keefe
having the best of it.

this round when they again clinched. Mel
lin ducked and Keefe game him sockdol-
ager in the body with his left forcing Mellin
into his corner and into his seat. Keefe
followed the vantage but Mellin's second
sprang into the ring again amid terrific
yells of foul and forced Keefe away.

FIFTH ROUND.

Mellin got in the first bat in this round
aud both clinched breaking, Keefe delivered
telling body blow with his left nearly TAX
ing his man off his pins. He seemed to be
unable to use his right with much force.
Afterwards it proved that the ligaments in
the back of the hand had been broken
by the terrible blow which
he had dealt in the round when Mellin was
knocked down. From this time forth his
hard hitting was done with the left His
wind also seemed to be falling, and Mellin
gave him several rights and lefts direct in
the face. The round was ended without dis
play OF skill, and Mellin seemed somewhat
in the best form.

FIRST KNOCK DOWN.

After sponging off both men came to time
in apparent good condition. The round
opened slowly and cautiously. Keefe dehy-
cred heavy bat in the body and Mellin
countered on the cheek staggering Keefe.
Keefe then let fly a shoulder hit in the
right eye nearly sending Mellin
to the ground again, but he recovered and
retaliated with singing body bat. Quick
but not very hard blows followed and aga n
the blood flowed from Keefe's lip and from
Mellin's lip and nose. Both seemed to be
loosing strength and took their seats badly

Each of the contestants waited for the
other to begin the fight and a full minute
was consumed in fooling. Finally Keefe LET
himself loose and Mellin was forced to
the ground. After ten seconds he got up
and they clinched. Again shouts and yells
of foul Keefe struck hard and fast with his
left and Mellin was getting the worst of il
his seconds grew excited and springing into
the ring, but were ordered out.

Oscar Wilde on Woman's Dress.

Oscar Wilde on Woman's Dress.
London Pail Mall Gazette.
MIR. Oscar Wilde, who asks us to per.
nit him THAT most charming of all pleas.
ures, the pleasure of answering ones
critics" sends us the following:
",lhe Girl Graduate must of course
have precedence, not merely for her sex,
but for her sanity; her letter is extremely
sensible. She makes two points: that
high heels are necessity for any lady
who wishes to keep her dress clean from
the Stygisn mud of our streets, and that
without tight corset, the Ordinary
number OF petticoats and etcetera3' can
not be properly or conveniently held up.
"Now, 1t is quite true that as long as
the lower garments are suspended from
the hips corset is an absolute necessity;
the mistake lies in not suspending all ap-
parel from the shoulders. In the latter
case corset becomes useless, the body Is
left free and unconined for respiration
and motion, there is more health and
consequently more beauty. Indeed, all
the most ungainly and uncomfortable ar
her folly prescribed, not the tight corset
surely, bat the farthingale, the vertuga-
din, the hoop, the crinoline, and that
modern monstrosity, the so-called dress
| improver, also, all of them have owed
their origin to the same error, the error
of not seeing that it is fromthe shoulders
and from the shoulders only, that all
garments should be hung.
''And as regards high heels / quite ad-
nit that some additional height to the
shoe or boot is necessary if long gowns
are to be worn on the street; but what
object to is that the height should be
given to the heel only, and not to the
sole of the foot also. The modern nigh
heeled boot is, in fact, merely the clog of
the time of Henry VI with the front
prop left out, and its inevitable effect is
to throw the body forward, to shorten
the steps, and consequently to produce
that want of grace which always followed
want Of freedom.
''Why should clogs be despisedl Much
art has been expended on clogs. They
have been made of lovely woods and del
icately inlsid with ivory and with mother
of pearl A clog might be a dream of
beauty, and If not too high or too Aesvy,
most comfortable also
"But if there ba any who do not like
clogs lot them t'y come adaptation of the
trouser af the Turkish lady, which is
loose around the limh and tight at the
ankle. The 'Gtrl Graduate, with a
pathus to which am not insensible, en-
treats me not 70 spo'heosiae that awful,
b tinged, b, a uuced and bskilted di-
v,ded skirr.' Wen, | will acknowledge
that the fcInges, tho A ,unces and the
kilring do certainly defeat 'he whole OBJ,
c. of the dress. which is that { t ease
and liberty; but l regard these things as
mere wicked super huities, tragic proofs
that the divided skirt Is ashamed OF Its
own division. The principle Of the dress
I is good, and, though it is not by any
means perfection. ~ ia ston toward it. "

Board of Supervisors, November gos
sion, Monday, November 10, 1884.
In accordance with law, the board ol
supervisors of Pottawattamie county,
Iowa, met in regular session.
Presents. G. Underwood, II. Kirk
wood, S, b. Frum, A. G. Graham and II.
Rishton.
This being the time fixed by law for
the canvass of votes cast at the general
election held on the 4th day of Noyem.
Der, 1884, in the several precincts of
Pottawattamie county, Iowa, and the re-
turns from all the precincts having been
made, the board acting as county can
vassers proceeded with the canvass OF
said votes publicly, ard canvassed the
votes of the First, Second and Third
precincts of the city OF
Council Bluffs, and upon
examination of the poll book of the
Fourth precinct, discrepancy was found
in the number of votes cast, and the
number Of votes tailed, and the ballot
box for that precinct was sent for, as
one of the clerks of the election at that
precinct, who was present, claimed that
sheet of paper left in the ballot box with
the names of the voters on that should
be in the poll book returned to the
auditor, and upon the arrival of the
township clerk with the ballot box,
w. f. Sapp made a YER bal protest
against opening the ballot box for the
Fourth precinct and against the consid-
ering of any papers or any other th MS
that may be therein contained on the
ground that the same was illegal and not
authorized by law. And after a hearing
from several parties present on motion
the board adjourned to meet this morn.
ing at 3 o'clock.
The above is the Official record OF the
doings of the board of Supervisors yes
terdsy. 1t Is claimed that the clerks in
Fourth ward pre- ,inct filled their pol
book and the additional names were writ.
ten on sheet of legal cap, which was &C.
cidentally left In the ballot box instead of
being attached to The poll book This is
said to account for the fact that the board
of supervisors found yesterday in Canvass
ing the vote that the poll book showed |
only 960 names, while the returns show
ed 998 votes cRst.
1t is predicted that this will give rise
to some contests. County Clerk Street
is said to have got some information in
regard to frauds having been perpetrated
in some of the polling places outside Of
Council Bluffs, and is consulting as to
what he can do about it. The race be-
tween several of the candidates is thought
to be 80 close that the result would be
changed by a contest over the Fourth
ward alone. Judge AYlesworth, who Is
in doubt aboGt his having d majority,
was hunting up his legal points yester-
day. 1t ia said by some that in case the
Fourth ward error should affect the re-
sult of any state or district Office, new |
election could be ordered in that ward.
