COrbett- Mitchell Fight.

New YORK, Feb. 23.-Judging from
the latest Developments the Mitchell
Corbett fight will take place. William
A. Brady, Corbett's manager, and Mitch
ell, accompanied by Squire Abingdon,
met at the Gedney house tonight and
had conference. The result was that
both men agreed to fight and do away
with further chickering's. Mitchell has
already deposited a certified check for
$4,000 with a well known sporting man
whose name both parties refuse to make
public lest he be arrested. The stake
holder is satisfactory to both Brady and
Mitchell Articles o. agreement will
most likely be signed in private and
not at New Orleans or in Canada.
Mitchell has not gone to Canada, as was
given out this evening. He will not
leave the city for couple OF days at
least Brady left on the II o'clock
train for Boston Before going he said
he thought Mitchell was now sincere in
his desire to arrange match. The
match may be made tomorrow or Sun
day. Mitchell said tonight that the
smaller tho ring IN which he meets Cor
bett the better it will suit him. He
said he would give CorbStt $1,000 for
every foot he will allow the ring to be
made smaller than the regulation size.
He says he is going to New Orleans to
witness the Hall Fitzsimmons fight and
not to make d match. The opinion pre-
walls hore among sporting men that
Mitchell does not want to fight in the
north, but prefers to go south. Mitchell
denies and says he would as soon fight
here as in New Orleans.

A curious thing happened the other
day A gentleman called to thank a re-
porter for writing an article on skating
on the park lake. 1t was a surprise be-
cause callers ordinarily come to kick
and not to praise. This was an old gen
tleman of more than threescore and ten,
but as active and hearty as most men Of
middle age For one-half century he
has been skater After his early youth
he laid aside his skates, as he thought,
forever, AS years passed on his son be
came a youth with a desire to skim the
frozen pond. His father took down
again his skates, and not only instructed
his boy, but kept on skating for years
himself
Again ne laid his steelclad shoes away
Then came his grandchildren. and once
more he was on the ice There he is yet
as enthusiastic as ever and almost as eX-
pert. As he passes in graceful glides he
leaves behind him the smiles and beui-
sons of all He carries with him a
sturdy lovely old age On the limbs Of
ruddy youth Irving Knickerbocker
was and is famous skater, and long
may he live to be So Albany Argus.

Murray { Idaho Sun

murray tlutuoD GUN
The senate has passed bill to ex-
empt mortgages from taxation, but the
house sat on it. This shows that a
campaign OF education would do some
members of the house good, The most
vicious law on the Idaho statute is the
one taxing money, mortgages and paper
values, such as warrants, bonds and
notes. Let us look at the evil tenden-
cies OF the tax. Money is what we are
all struggling for; We need it to create
prosperity in the state; we need it to
create property values for taxation; we
need it to open up our mines; we need
it to build irrigation ditche'; we need 1t
to establish enterprises of various kinds;
we need it to buy our warrants and our
bonds, and we need it to pay our taxes

sons enough in the legislature to stran-
gle measure to invite capital for in
vestment to come into the state to ere
ate taxable property, or to keep In the
state some of the magnificent wealth

already made that the Britisher will not
