SHAMEFUL EXHIBITION.
Two PugiIists Engage in Brutal Figh
in Connecticut.

Two PugilistS Engage in Brutal Fight
in Connecticut.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-About 200 sports
from this city and Brooklyn journeyed to
the road-house last night near Danbury,
Conn, where they witnessed kid glove
fight to the finish between Jack Bates of
Ohio and Joe Daley of New York. 1t was
after l O'Clock this morning when the
men entered the ring. Con. McAuliffe,
brother of the famous lightweight cham
pion pugilist, was selected as referee The
fight was sort of go-as-you-please af-
far, and at one time it looked as though
the whole 200 were going to take hand
in it.
The widest excitement prevailed, while
all hands were endeavoring to separate
the fighters, who had their teeth fastened
in each other like two bulldogs. Fully
five minutes was lost in trying to restore
peace.
The men started off in good shape, and
for the first four rounds they fought fairly
Daley received some severe punishment,
which induced him to commence his foul
fighting. The fouling commenced ABOUT
the latter part of the fourth round. and
before the close of the fifth round every
body in the ring was pushing, showing
and jostling one another, and believing
Foul ~ at the top of their voices.
In the sixth round, during one of the
clinches, Daley managed to get his thumb
into Bates mouth, and managed to in
crease the size of ii by running it up into
the left cheek. Bates bled freely, and
first blood was claimed for and allowed
Daley. The men had to be separated fire.
quently in this round, as they both fouled
al they knew how every time they came
together.
At the call of time Daley evidently did
not think things were evened up, as he
followed Bates to his corner and bit a
piece out of his shoulder. 1t was cold
blooded, but still it was allowed, despite
all the protests Of the crowd, who went
there to see fight to finish, and so long
as both men were fouling, the spectators
wanted TO see it out, no matter If the
fighters killed each other. The seventh
round was h-and-tumble affair of
the most approved style, consisting of
choking, biting, kicking, gouging and all
kinds OF unfair fighting.
Daley, who stan ted all the foul fighting
got decidedly the worst of itsat his own
peculiar style of pugilism. He finally
ran out of the ring to escape his punish
ment, but he was thrown back into the
ring again by his own friends and told to
take his medicine. He made several
more attempts to turn and make his es-
cape, but each time he was headed off by
the crowd and pushed back into the ring
The eighth and last round was of short
duration, as all fight had been punched
out of Daley, and his only aim seemed to
be TO get out of the ring and as far away
from the fists of Bates as possible. FL
nally, in his mad effort to escape, he
smashed McAuliffe in the face and dived
under the ropes and ran out like an ar
row, and there was nothing else left for
McAulifle to do but give the victory to
Bates, which he did, and then all hands
started for their homes.

Terrible Destructive Power of the
Dynamite Gun.

Terrible Destructive Power of the
Dynamite Gun.
The possibilities of the dynamite gun
as terrible instrument of destruction.
are very clearly indicated in an illus
trated paper by B. c. Batcheller, in the
Engineering Magazine, New York. He
says:
mo one knows what will be the out
come of the next great collision of the
navies, and it is possible that doubt will
not be answered in the remaining years
of the nineteenth century. Much has
been written picturing forth the details of
that great combat. In the way of ro-
nance, Stockton has written his Great
Syndicate War;" and hardly less fanci-
ful, but confined to the actual forces, is
the recent book by an English officer de-
scribing How We Fought the Battle
The changes in the conditions are too
numerous to recall in the preliminary
survey. Since the days of Trafalgar,
steam has taken the place of sails. The
guns are worked mechanically. a single
shot will do the fatal work of a former
broadside.
1.-The old pictures representing the hand
to hand conflict when ships were grap-
pied. can never be painted again in the
times to come, for the rapid-fire guns
would annihilate the bravest body of tars
long before it could tread hostile deci..
No wooden huIkS Will be seen floating
half sunk in the sea, and half seen in the

sells of iron have terrible alacrity in
sinking, and the ram crushing into the
sides of ship has merciless power. In
fact, even the defensive features of this
new warfare have elements of terror in
them. The sums that have been spent on
these untried navies are enormous. OF
course their destructive possibilities are
amazing.
1T is not settled matter that small
boat, not much larger than a harbor tug,
armed like the VeSuvius with dynamite
guns, could annihilate the most tormida-
bic vessel atloat; but such result is the
aim Of all experiments with high eX-
plosives. 1t is almost useles to speculate
on the uses to which the pneumatic
principle Of firing may be put. OF
course, it will not be confined to the
special boats like the Vesuvius. 1t will,
however, in all probability, be years be-
fore high explosive is found that can be
fired safely from an ordinary gun with
the charge of powder commonly used;
while compressed air offers distinct
merits and conveniences."

MUTINOUS SOLDIERS.
ANOTHER OUTBREAK IN THE
GRENADIER GUARDS.
ul-Feeling Among Many of the Corps
on Account of Insufficient and
Unpalatable Rations.
Special to the REcoRD-UNrox.

cpCSlal 10 buo ISECOhD-ON1ON-
LONDON, Oct 2S.-Military circles and
the public in general were startled to-day
by the publication in the columns OF
Truth of the details of another mutinous
outbreak on the part of the Grenadier
Guards, who are now stationed at Wind
sor Castle. This second mutiny of the
same battalion within six months had
its origin in the ill-feeling permeating
many of the corps of the British army on
account of the insufficient and unpalata-
ble rations which, the men claimed, were
served them for their meals on Wednes-
day, October 14th. These rations, they
claim, were especially bad, and caused
the smoldering feeling of finsubordination
10 break out. The privates of Company
One refused to eat the rations, and they
were confined to the barracks for one
day, and the CorporalS of the same COM
pany were placed under arrest pending
an inquiry into the mutinouS conduct OF
their privates. The inquiry made into the
outbreak showed that the GrenadierS had
upon previous occasion complained OF
the quality of the bread served to them,
and the business of their complaint not
being admitted, the men threw the bread
out of the barracks windows into the
square.
The Adjutant of the Third Battalion de-
clared that he was not aware that the men
had acted in the manner mentioned, add
ing that he was wholly ignorant of the
entire incident, and that he had not re-
ceived any report upon the subject.
Thereupon, Truth says, the evidence OF
one hundred witnesses can prove these
facts. If such an outbreak and its conse-
quent arrests are possible without the
Colonel or the Adjutant knowing OF
them, the worst said about the gulf sep
arating the officers from the men is not
lar short OF the truth.

there was a row, but refuse to give par
ticulars, declaring the trouble of a trivial

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Shall We Drive Slow Poison From Our
Breakfast Table?
ALUM AND AMMONIA IN OUR BREAD.

A nuisance that troubled England fifty
years ago is now rapidly spreading in this
country, that is putting alum in the bread
we eat. This question is causing great
deal Of discussion at the present moment.
and it is revealed that alum is being used
as a substitute for cream of tartar in
baking powders. a story is told that d
very large percentage Of the baking pow
ders sold on the market contain either
alum or ammonia, and many of them
contain both these perniciOus drugs.
Much timely alarm is felt at the wholesale
use of alum in bread, biscuit and pastry.
To young children, growing girls, per-
sons of weakly frame, alum bread eaten
morning, noon and evening is the most
harmful. 1t is the small quantities taken
at every meal that do the mischief. Alum
is cheap, costing but two or three cents a
pound, while cream of tartar costs thirty
cents, and the nigh price of cream of tar
tar has led cheap baking powder to be
made of alum. If the reader wants to
know something of the corrosive quail
ties of alum, let him touch piece to his
tongue, then reflect how it acts on the
tender, delicate coats of the stomach.
Following is list compiled by the
Scientific American of the alum and am
monia baking powders that have already

THE Losr OASIS FOUND


/ Hxuanw.~ H,a rn.aked for It In voin Eve9
slnee 0alss Discovered It
In 1875, when Mr.. e. Giles msde
his famous journey across the Sou1H
ern part of Australia, travenne
through deserts that had never been
visited before, he discovered place
that was green and fertile. ms
oasis in the desert was the result OF
some springs which came to the sur
face there and gave the country Tor q
long distance around the aspect OF
rich and verdant agricultural lands.
He named the place Victoria Spring,
and when he came home he said
many thousands of cattle or sheep
could be raised there. He had no
where seen more promising grazing
land than this oasis.
Curiously enough, he did not &C
curately define the position of Vic
toria Spring. Ever since his jour-
ney the place has been marked
upon the maps, but several explorers
who tried to find Victoria Spring have
failed, and some critics were unkind
enough to intimate that the oasis had
existed only in the imagination of the
man who described it.
The news comes now from Australia
that Victoria Spring has been discov-
cred again. Mr.. J. P. Brooks writes
from Israelite Bay to Baron Won
Muller, who is well known for his
important labors in behalf Of Austral-
ian exploration, that Swede named
Frank Neuman has found Victoria
Spring. The letter says that the
spring is 135 miles north Of the
Frazer range of mountains in the
southern part of West Australia, and
that hereafter this oasis may be easily
reached from the south coast. Neu-
man says, as Giles reported earlier,
that animal life is abundant, that
there is a fine growth of grass, and
that about 1000 acres are splendidly
adapted for sheep or cattle raising.
In fact, it is very beautiful and fer
tile oasis in the midst of a sea of sand
which will never be turned to any
profitable account. But the most
curious thing about Victoria Spring
is that although all the maps have
shown it where it was supposed Giles
found the spring, no one was ever
able to run across it during the six
teen years since he discovered it until
the present time. AS near as can be
ascertained he located it about fifty
miles from its position, and no subse-
quent traveller has ever happened to
see it.

sas seems to be over-run with horse
thieves at the present time. Almost
every night one or more horses are
stolen in this and adjoining counties.
A prominent official stated to an
Eagle reporter that, in his opinion,
there is an organized gang OF horse
thieves operating in this part of the
country, and that in short time some
startling disclosures will be made, and
a number of desperate and well-known
criminals will be lodged behind the
bars. The sheriff daily receives large
numbers of kilograms and postal cards
giving accounts of some horses stolen
and asking for the apprehension of the
thieves, who in many cases head for
Wichita.

ago, he was arrested for having desert
ed from the army. His friends admit
that he was a deserter, but say there
Is no other charge against him. In case
Schmidt is not released upon the peti.
ton of the American government, he
will be compelled to serve Six months
as soldier. A neighbor of Schmidt's
in this county named Gronihger accom-
panied him on his the trip has returned.
When he left Germany Schmidt was in
the guard house and had not consented
to serve as q soldier. Schmidt has q
fine farm near Huron, and a wife and
five children, who are naturally much
distressed over his detention.

The cotton crop in the southern tier
OF Kansas counties was unusually good
this year. The best fields were in
Montgomery and Chautauqua counties.
Haddam Clipper: George Byfield
raised this year over 5000 bushels of
corn on the farm he rented of Miss
Mamie Neebit. This farm. is located
five and one. half miles north of here.
Coffeyville Journal: A large amount
of cotton has been raised in this county
this year. and we are told the crop is
double that of last year, and the yield
is such that the industry is a very prof
liable one.
Cedar Vale Star: Andrew Fessler
claims the belt, having shucked and
cribbed seventy.five bushels of corn in
a day. This was done on the Frank

Ter says, that he ever saw. It was
raised by E. M. Cole.

Medicine Lodge Cresset: Frank
Gordon, from Lake City. is one of the
best. posted cattlemen in the county,
and his opinion is generally accepted
by all. He saws the outlook for feeders
is gloomy indeed. The range is almost
worthless, forcing stockmen to COM
mence feeding two months before they
usually do. With the high price of feed
and the low price of cattle, the profits
of our stockmen look pretty small.
The agricultural college farm at Man
haitian has q corn harvester that cuts
and loads one row of corn as fast as q
team can walk. The machine also has
binder attachment which binds and
drops the corn off in shocks when de-
sired. 1t may revolutionize the present
Kansas method OF gathering corn, as
all the valuable fodder can thus be pre-
served, and the corn can be piled in a
sheltered place and husked in any kind
OF weather.

Anderson, of Latham, with their father.
are largely engaged in the sheep bust
ness. They are taking bunch of 1,5O0
up to Heather Bend. above Augusta,
to be wintered. Another large bunch
will be shipped from hero to Oklahoms
in few days. where they already have
a large flock. They were fortunate
enough to secure lot OF cheap corn in
Payne county, Oklahoma, early in the
season, hence they are moving % many
there to winter. They will return t.
this county in the spring.
