New Scheme 10 Bsat ths Farmer.


CHAMBERLAIN, 8. D., Sept. 13.-The
snterprising and ever busy swindlers
are always putting forth some new
scheme to pull a. few dollars from the
pockets OF the unsuspecting farmer.
one of the new schemes was recently
worked on farmer living in Red Rock
township, Minnehaha county. Swind-
!cr No. called upon the farmer with
patent wagon tongue and informed
him that. having made big thing out
of it, he was on his way home with
only that county to sell. He told the
farmer that he could have it for $3.50,
and if he wanted it to write to him
In few days patent right man No. 2
came along. He had heard that the
farmer had the right of the county for
the patent wagon tongue and as he had
made big thing out of it in rennsyl-
vania, he wanted to buy the right of
the county and offered the farmer s4Oo
and paid $40 to bind the bargain. The
farmer Immediately wrote to swindler
No. l and sent him his note for $3.50
The farmer never heard of the two men
again, but his note has showed up in
town not far from Valley Springs for
collection

DIXON AND SMITH.
rhe Midget Monarchs Who viii Meet at


Coney Island.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14,--What promises
20 be the grandest fistic struggle which
mas ever occurred in this country be-
Tween midget monarchs of the ring
will be the meeting of George Dixon
and Solly Smith, which will take place
st the Coney Island Athletic club on
The night of Monday, September 25.
The battle will be for a purse of $lO.0 900
and tho featherweight championship of
the world.
Who will win? That is the question
which is puzzling the wisest minds.
The best judges of pugilissic skill are
ltterly at seq and frankly confess that
t is beyond their ken to pick the vic
tor. So keen an expert as Al Smith
says that it is like betting on colors ut
roulette-black Or red-to guess the
winner, save in this instance the bettor
will have black and white to select
from. e"
Until the temporary reverse Dixon
suffered when he met bold Billy Plim-
nler, of England, the chocolate colored
tad was an Overwhelming favorite in
the east. Since that time the Cali
fornia boy has had an even call in the
betting with Tom O'Rourkes prodigy
among sportsmen, who are proven
bially as tickle rs the wind in their
preferences.
Those who are best informed in these
matters, however, say that Dixon's set
back with Piimmer should be no meas
are of his tistic skill or any criterion to
go'by in his approaching contest with
Smith. Dixon, they aver, was simply
suffering from an atfiiction known us
"big head" He held Plimmer too
-heaply and made no preparation for
the fray. The Briton, on the other
hand, was trained to the hour. The
natural outcome of such meeting be-
tween two lads, equally clever, under
normal conditions, was obvious. When
Dixon goes up against Smith he will be
the physical perfection of trained
athlete and can be depended upon to
render much better account of him
self.
