A BATTLE OF LIGHTWEIGHTs.
DAILY, of Bangor, Me-, Knocks Out Van
Heest, q Minneapolis Man.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 3O-The fight between
Johnny Van Heest, of this city, and Dan
DAILY, of Bangor, Me-, for purse of 500,
came off tonight at the Twin City Athletic
Club. Both men weighed under l22 pounds
and were in good condition. Van Heest won
the fight in the twelfth round.
During the entire fight the Minneapolis
man rushed and clinched. DAILY stopped
the rushes in flne shape and had Van Heest
groggy in the fifth round, and would have
probably finished him but for the call of
time. From that time until the twelfth
round it looked as if DAILY, who was playing
a waiting game, would win. Van Heest's
left eve was badly cut and the blood flowed
profusely. In the twelfth Van Heest landed
three body blows, and following this with a
rush got in a highlander on the point of
Daly's jaw. Daily reeled and fell, and be-
fore he could rise was counted out.

JACKSONS claim to be
able to save you some money,
and we will make good the
claim if you will call on us
before the week is out. A
careful examination of our

have gone off a little more
readily than others; and, so
that we may even things up,
we shall quote special rates,
making in some instances re-
ductions of 10 per cent, 20
per cent and 80 per cent.
This means that while the

was not large. Tomorrow afternoon
The Alliance will meet and it is i'm
peSs-Sat that good attendance
<losld be had. There are Is appli-

at the next meeting of the Alliance

due and members who have not been
present within the present quarter
should endeavor to attend and assist
in transacting the business. The
public business which farmers are
called upon to give some attention
to is all important and cannot be
transacted without their personal
attention any more than their farm
work can be done. And the fact
that every farmer in Cecil county
who has been engaged in farming
exclusively for the last 80 years is
worse off than he was at the begin.
ming of that period, and makes less

strative evidence that it is of more
Importance to him to give heed to
public affairs than to his farm affairs,
for through his neglect of public
affairs this condition nas come about.
This fact should be more convincing
to him than any argument that can
be produced. And what is more to
the purpose we can assure every
farmer that this condition of af
fairs will not be changed without
he puts his should to the wheel and
helps, no more than his fields will be
plowed without bis putting his hand

afternoon and help look after your
part of the business, every one of
you.
