Cemoterz Notice.

The management of the South Gem
etery have lacessaTily entailed a great
expense In which every person who
have relatives buried there-outside
of the potter's field-are directly in
tcrested. This expense has accrued in
the surveying and Plating off Of
every lot in the cemetery, and must
be paid at once. The lahorer is
worthy Of his hire. The original
price for lots 2sx3n feet, was put at
$500, a price insufficient to bear ex-
penses. But that everyone may have
an equal showing, it has been deem ed
advisable to continue the present
price for 80 DAYS from this date, after
which al lots unso,d will be held at
80 each. Every resident in Ardmore
anj vicility is directly interested in
this matter, and your appreciation of
the management, and concurrence in
the foregoing is earnestly hoped for.
4 plat Of the cemetery, drawn by Mr..
Ressler, who surveyed every lot, can
be found at my Office on CaddO street,
where lots can be selected and re-
ceipts for same obtained.
This notice applies alike to those
who already hold lots, as on no ac
count will receipts be given until the
money is paid.

All Germany Rcioices.

BERLIN, Jan. 27.-For the first time
since March Is, 1890, when he resigned
the chancellorship of the German en-
pire, which he had so long held, Prince
Otto Won Bismarck, the hero of the
masses and the man who
cemented the empire, en-
tered the royal palace yester-
day, as the guest of the Emperor and
the reconciliation between the young
Kaiser and the venerable confidential
assistant of the old emperor was COM
pleted. 1t is the sincere wish of all
Germans that there will never be a
new severance of the relations OF
friendship between the two.

The Awful Horror Occurs In Boone Coun-

BOONE, Iowa, Jan. 25.-The building
On the Boone county poor farm in
which the incurable insane paupers
were confined, was burned at 10
o'clock last night and eight of the
nine. inmates perished. Only one
woman, Mrs. Hibbard, escaped from
the burning building and gave the
alarm to the stewart, Holcomb, who
was in the main building adjacent. 1t
was too late to save the insane people
and the main building was saved only
by the greatest effort.
The steward says he banked-the
fires in the furnace about o'clock and
does not know how the fire originated
unless from a defective fue. The
dead are:
Mary Tucker, John Annasnigers,
Anna Soderburg, Christine Anderson,
Christine Peterson, Mrs. Scott, Tom

SEAL PROTECTION NOT SURE.
Outside Nations May Destroy the AMI
mals-Regulations Not Yet Ready.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-As the time
approaches for putting into force the
regulations to protect seal life in
Behring sea it becomes more evident
that it will be difficult to make regu-
lations in conformity with the recon-
mendations of the Behring sea trib
unal, for the United States and Great
Britain, even by agreement and coop
Grafton, cannot protect seal life
beyond the three mile limit of the
land and the islands, except against
their own citizens under their own
flag.
DMost of the deprcdations in the past
have been committed under the
British flag of Canadian sailers. This
can be put stop to, but if theseCana-
dian sailers can sail under the Corean
flag or that of any other nation not a
party to the agreement, they cannot
be prevented from pursuing pelagic
sealing. The task in preparation .of
regulations is, therefore, the securing
of agreements from other nations not
to allow their flags to be used to pro-
tect depredators. The labors of
Secretary Gresham and Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British ambassador, are
believed to be directed to that end.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 26.-Corbett
is still the-champion of champions.
Mitchell, who was to have knocked
him out or at least have given him a
hard fight, was never in it. The battle
was never in doubt moment, and
Mitchell was cleanly knocked out in
the third round, after being repeatedly
knocked down.
BATTLE BY ROUNDS.
At o'clock Corbett appeared in the
ring and was greeted with tumultu-
Gus applause by fully 1000 men. He
was attired in "A long bath robe.
At 2:O5 o'clock Mitchell appeared
and was given reception almost
equal TO that of Corbett He smiled
as he entered the ring.
Mitchells seconds were Jim Hall,
Pony Moore, Tom Allen and Steve
ODonnell and Timekeeper Bat Master
son and Corbetts seconds were John
Donaldson, Billy Delaney, Jack
Dempsey and William Mcmillan and
Timekeeper Ted Foley, with ''Snap-
per- Garrison timelzeeper for the club.
Then the men were called to the
center and instructed by the referee.
AS they faced each other Mitchell
looked diminutive
Corbett led with his left on
Mitchell's chin. Then they clinched
and exchanged body blows and Jim
reached Charities left eye heavily,
while Mitchell reached the ribs An
other exchange followed and Mitchell
clinched and Mitchell got in one on
Corbett's neck. Jim then landed right
and right again as time was called,
giving Mitchell good body blow.
Honors were easy in the first round.
Second Round A wild exchange
and clinch opened the contest. Cor
bett uppeTcut his man as they came
together. Mitchell landed hard on the
ribs and, as Mitchell came in, Jim
caught him on the head, staggering
him. Corbett uppercut Mitchell again
and landed with his right on Charlie S
ribs, Mitchell reaching Jim's chin. A
sharp rally, with Corbett having all
the best of it, followed. Mitchell got
in twice on Corbetts neck, but Cor
bctt knocked him down twice in sue
cesSiOn.
Third Round Mitchell was rather
groggy Corbett rushed at him and
swung his right and left heavily on
Mitchelfs neck. Charlie went down
He took the full time to rise and then
Corbett rushed at him like a tiger.
Mitchell clinched but Corbett threw
him off, and floored him with a stiff
facer. Again he took all the time To
rise and when he advanced toward
Corbett the latter swung his right
with deadly effect on Charities jaw.
Mitchell reeled and fell on his face.
helpless. The referee counted /, .. 3.

ONLY NINE MINUTES IN ALL.
Mitchell's face was covered with

in helpless condition. Time of fight
nine minutes.
1t was all Corbett's battle, though

round. The men did not shake hands
at the beginning of the fight.
! The referee called upon the men tC

CARLISLE ON THE BOND ISSUE.
The Secretary Appears Before the House
judiciary Committee.

Judiciary Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-For the first
time in this congress every member of
the judiciary committee of the house
attended its meeting yesterday, the
magnet being Secretary Carlisle's
statement of his position on the bond
issue. The resolution of Representative
Bailey of Texas, declaring it to be the
sense of the house that the secretary
has no authority to apply the proceeds
of the bonds to any purpose but re-
sumption, was before the committee.
Mr.. Carlisle spoke in an informal
manner for an hour and half, and
was questioned by several members of
the committee. 1t was held by the
secretary that the law conferred upon
him tie authority to issue bonds, al
though he stated frankly that until
recently he had not entertained that
opinion of the question. Great pres
sure has been brought to bear upon
him, he said, for the bond issue,
and, although he regretted
the necessity for it, as the step did not
seem to meet the unanimous approval
of the party, yet it was plain to him
the necessity was imperative at this
time. A deficit of $4S, 900, 900 would
exist at the end of the fiscal year, he
estimated under existing conditions,
or as result of proposed tariff legisla-
ton, unless congress gave relief to
the treasury, which he hoped it would

Gold Still Being Withdrawn.

Carlisle issued his circular inviting
bids for the purchase of bonds there
has been withdrawn from the treas

its equivalent for the purpose, it is as
serted. of paying for the bonds. Since
January 1 the treasury has lost $12,-
440, 900 in gold. Offers to take bonds
continue to be received at the treasury
department, but no information is OBJ
tainable as to the amount.

FORT SCOTT, Kan, Jan. 25.-Last
night just as seven miners in shaft
a mile west of here were preparing to
quit work, the wall caved in. Five
escaped and began the work of rescu-
ing the two who were caught under
the deF ~ and at 10 o'clock found one
of them imprisoned, but uninjured.
He reports that the other, Joe Bo-
linger, was crushed beneath a huge
rock. They worked all night but
could not recover his body.
