The Sioux City Offer for a Fight Between
Him and Corbett Fustian.
CHICAGO. Sept TT shall pay no at
tentiOn to the Sioux City offer for fight
between Corbett and myself" Peter
Jackson said last night There seems

cate, if, indeed, there is a syndicate
Il have about given up hope of get
ting a match with Corbetf," Jackson con-
tinued Il journeyed across the CONT
nent at great Inconvenience and expense,
and my efforts went for naught. / was
inclined at first to catch at the Sioux
City offer, in something of the spirit that
faint hope catches at any straw, but 1
know that Corbett has theatrical engage
ments far ahead and therefore will not
make a match with me-
OF course he will keep talking fight,
because that serves to advertise his theat-
ricAl venture. Il the Sioux City delega-
ton which is said to have left the place
for the purpose of arranging for a tight
arrived in Chicago it seems strange they
could not be found.
That they may have gone through to
see COrbettt first and have passed me
by does not satisfactorily explain the
matter to my mind. 1t rather convinces
me, if anything, that there is nothing to
the whole thing but fustian.
4 have done all / can to bring about
a meeting with COrbett, and that indi-
vidual stands in the light at present of a
champion who will not defend his claim
to his title"

Cases Filed Against Them But They Run

WICHITA, Sept. Eleven injunctions
have been served on as many saloon men
aud on the buildings they occupy, and
half dozen more were sworn to last
evening and will be served today.
Heretofore when County Attorney
Boone has made a move 10 enjoin the
liquor dealers he has been summoned to
Topeka and that has been the end of the
matter" said a Populist. But things
have now reached such a pass both
here and IN other large cities OF the state
that ii has become impossible to longer
ignore the demand for an 0verhauling.
The truth seems to be that the police
have become so inextricably tangled up
with the corruption associated with the
joints and gam bling houses that they
dare not enforce the law" continued he
The police have been collecting thou
sands Of dollars Ostensibly for the city,
but where has it gone
The Injunction proceedings have thus
far had no effect except to cause asty
transfers of property to other names, and
the enjoined saloons are running wide
open.

Advice From a King.

Kabarega, the negro king Of Unyoro,
in Central Africa, is man who rules his
subjects with arod of iron. Like all ty-
rants, he regulates their smallest actions,
and host of spies inform him of any
disobedience to his commands.
Among other things, he has made a
fixed tariff of prices for everything
bought or sold in his country, and every
deviation from it is severely punished.
An instance of this is given by Vita Has
san in his book about Emin Pasha and
the Equatorial Province.
About month after Hassan's arrival
in Unyoro he bought fowl and paid 30
cowries for it, while the market price
was only %. In that part of Africa it
takes about 200 cowries to make 81.
Soon afterward dragoman of the king
appeared and brought back cowries,
with the message:
ga fowl costs only 25 cowries, while
you have given 80. The seller has done
wrong, and the king will punish him,
but he sends toyou the advice to be care
full henceforth in your purchases-never
to give for anything more than it is
worth, first of all in your own interest,
and next to this in order not to disturb
the market. Youths Companion.

Montana Sapphires.

Garnet crystals not fine enough for
gems are found in North Carolina. They
are of huge size, sometimes weighing
as much as 20 pounds, and they are cut
into dishes and cups. Tons of them are
crushed to make emery and kind of
sandpaper called garnet paper. AT Ru-
by mountain in Colorado is a remarka-
BILE deposit of such great crystals Of
garnet, which, being included in soft
matrix, usually come out perfect in
their beautiful gecmetrical shapes. They
are sold for weights and ornaments.
Emeralds, rubies and sapphires are
found only in North Carolina and Mon
tana. The Montana sapphires, dug from
the gravel bars of the Missouri river,
are mostly of poor quality, though some
of the crystals are fine. They are plen-
tiful enough, the SO called Colorado bar
yielding 2,6c0 ounces of sapphires to
the acre.-Boston Transcript.
