MYER AT HIS VERY BEST,
His Streator Friends Certain He Will Do
Up Jack McAu1iffe.


STREAToR, ILL, Aug. 30-Interest in
the great "pugilistic carnival in New
Orleans next week. is at white heat in this
town. OF course the principal event in the
minds of Streator people will be the Myer-
McAuliffe fight, which takes place Monday
night A large number of Streator sports
will be present on that occasion, and their
pockets will be filed with money which
they will post on Myer. Those of our citi-
zens who cannot be at the ringside will
send their money. Last evening Myer gave
an exhibition at Armory Hall which was
witnessed by large crowd of enthusiastic
admirers
Myer has been working faithfully the last
two weeks, and now weighs 1S6 pounds in
fighting costume. His eyes are clear and
bright, and he never appeared in better con-
dition. If he goes into the ring looking
and feeling as he did last night, McAuliffe's
chances OF carrying off the big end of the
purse will, it is believed here, be very
small Billy spared three rounds with
each of his trainers winding up with his
brother Eddie, and was heartily cheered for
his splendid exhibition. He was appar-
emily as fresh at the close as when he first
stepped into the ring. His wind is all
right now. Myer will continue to work
hard until Thursday, when he will start
for New Orleans He will probably
go into the ring a. 1873 pounds, and at that
weight is at his best.

A HUGE CONTRACT SUIT. -.

SeIigmsn Bros. Begin Attachment Pro-
c-rdinrs Against Railroad Contractors.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-The complaint in
the attachment proceedings against the
Bullock & Wilder Company, railroad con-
tractors, for $3.50, 900. brought by Isaac and
Leopold Seligman, of Seligman Bros, OF
London, was filed to-day. 1t says that on
June 80, 1890, at New York City, Seligman
Bros. entered into an agreement with the
above-named company to loan it 9300, 600,
on which the company agreed to pay inter-
est at the rate OF 10 per cent. per year.
The plaintiffs allege that the firm pledged
the stock, but refused to pledge the rails or
any other collateral security. 1t is claimed
that the collateral security surrendered by
Seligman Bros. was of greater value than
the money loaned to the company, the
interest and bonds. 1t is further alleged
that the Bullock & Wilder Company and
MI. Bullock are insolvent and unable to
pay the interest on the loan or the ESQ, 900
bonus, and Seligman Bros. claim damages
to the amount OF $3.50, 200.

VIENNA, Aug. 30.-The Corn Fair here
opened to-day with fair attendance. Herr
Natchauer, the President of tho Corn Ex-
change, delivered remarkable speech,
which was the sensation of the day. 1t
contained marked reference to ''the grow
ing unremunerativeness of corn growing in
Europe in the face OF the overwhelming
American competition, constantly increas-
ing through the continual opening of new
regions to cultivation and the lowering of
railway freight rates."
Herr Nstchsuer said that, in view of this
competition, there remained but one chance
for Europe, namely, by the building of
network of canals in Central Europe. The
speakers hearers evidently regarded the
chance he set forth as poor consolation.

FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. The following
is the weather crop bulletin issued by the
Weather Bureau:
TEMPERATURE-The week was cooler
than usual from the Mississippi river west
ward to the Pacific coast, except along the
Gulf coast, in the Rio Grande Valley, and
from Northern California northward. East
of the Mississippi it was warmer than usual,
except in New England, where the temper
ature averaged from 10 to 80 below the
normal. The greatest excess IN tempera-
ture occurred over the Lake Superior re-
gion, where it was from 60 to 70 higher
than usual On the Middle and South At
lantic coasts the, temperature averag ed
about 80 above the normal. Frost caused
slight damage in Wyoming on the 9th.
PRECIPITATIoN-More than thss usual
amount of rain has fallen over the greater
portion of the country east of the Rocky
Mountains. In New England and over the
Northern portion of the cotton region, ex-
cept in portions of the Carolinas, Georgia
and Louisiana, the rainfall has been very
heavy, the actual fall in Central Arkansas
exceeding five inches, and more than three
inches tell in portions of New England,
Northern Ohio, Northern Georgia and in
the vicinity of Charleston, S. c.
Along the Gulf coast, in the Lake Su-
perior region and from the Lower Missouri
Valley eastward over the Ohio Valley to
the Virginia coast the rainfall for the week
ives less than usual, the deficiency amount
ing to more than one inch ON the West Gulf
coast. Along the. Texas coast, where the
usual amount of rain exceeds one inch, no
rain fell during the week. The normal
condition-entire absence of rain-pre-
vailed on the Pacific coast.
The rains OF the past week have to
great extent broken a drouth which, pre-

Several Bright Lights in the Profession

New York Advertiser.l
Mrs E S. P. Ward has computed that
there are several thousand women physi-
clans in the United States 1t is impossible
to average their incomes correctly, but they
probably run from 5000 to $4,000 year.
The last figures are, of course, rare. They
are the great lights of the profession, even
among men who earn from $40, 900 to $780,
900 year and upward; and women are
still crusaders and reformers.
A $4,000 income for a well-educared,
gifted and healthy woman doctor is. less
rare. Five thousand is not at all uncom-
mon; and so on down. One woman, an in
valid, earned $4,000 the first year that she
practiced. The next year she received
So, 200, and maintained growing success
until she dropped dead one night and put
all end to calculation on what promised to
be brilliant career. But this woman,
after graduating from the medical school,
and before she began to practice, spent for
several years eight hours day in severe
private study. Such work goes as straight
to success as healthy plant to blossom.
