QUITE A MILL.

On Monday afternoon Frank Nc
Cannon and Will Hoke got an in
sane notion in their conks to have a
little "go" with the gloves. Accord
ingly they obtained the consent OF
Judge A. Macdonald to act as ref
cree and repaired to the arena OF
the Twilight Athletic Club to have
it out" Lou Durham acted as bot.
tie holder, that is, we understand
he held bottle. A ring was
marked off and the principals took
their respective places, after don
ming the mittens. They stepped to
the center and shook hands lin a
friendly way, of courseJ and went
at it. Both were little cautious,
but finally Frank made lead for
Willis prOboscis. Will parted the
blow and landed Il light left handler
on Franks face.
In the second round Frank forced
the fighting, but was sent to grass
in short order by well directed
blow on his smelling box. First
blood for Hoke:
The third round was very tame,
both men sparring for wind.
In the fourth round Frank was
worsted again, his left optic being
closed by Wills left.
In the fifth round both men
seemed groggy and spared for
wind again.
The sixth round was a hard one.
considerable infighting being done
and both received severe punish
ment.
The seventh round was short.
Will delivered a crushing blow on
his opponents right optic and down
he went until time was called.
The eighth round ended the mill.
Hoke forced thefighting and landed
a singing right handler on Franks
proboscis, following it up with a
hard left in the same place. Frank
went to grass and failing to re-
spond to the call of time was
counted out.
A messenger was dispatched to
Lou Goodner's for a barrel of water
with which to check the flow OF
blood from McCammon's nose and
for awhile it was thought water
wagon would have to be sent tor,
but the supply on hand was suffi-
cient. McCammon looks presenta-
bic now. however.

A Chinese Columbus.

The belief that a Chinese Columbus
was first allowed by scholars only
about so years ago. The claim is that
a Buddhist priest in the fifth century
crossed the Pacific to this continent
and returned, making a written re-
port of his discovery. The report
still exists. 1t was translated into
French in 1901 by NJ. de Guignes 1t
gave a narrative of n voyage eastward
by n priest for 10000 Ii, where he
found a country which he named
Fusang. People similar to the In
dams were described, as well as
American plants. The only doubt
about the matter is as to the distance
meant by 10000 Ii. The priest may
have reached only some island in the
Pacific ocean.

A Novel Advertisement.

The following story. which has
never before appeared in print. is
told about the editor of one of
Names most prominent dailies.
When small boy, his father, now
one of the most prominent men in
the state, was then running print
ing Office and publishing a weekly
paper in one of the leading towns
in Kennebec county. One day the
advance agent of a show came along
and ordered some posters printed
upon cotton cloth. His order was
filled, but for some reason he neg
lected to call for them, and they
were left on the printers hands.
The printers wife ran across them,
and as cloth was then high, she took
the cloth home and used it to line Il
pair of pants she was making for
the editor above mentioned. then a
boy about ten years of age.
As the months rolled by the pant
aloons grew thread bare, and at
school one day he accidently tore
the seat out, leaving about one foot
of lining exposed to view. This in
itself would have made the boys
smile, but they laughed until the
tears came when they observed the
words standing out boldly upon
the lining in large type:
Doors open at $50. Performance
begins at g."
1t is needless to state that the boy
was sent home to his mother in
tears-EXchange.

Another London doctor has fallen a

Tom Blagburn, almost blind and led by
a boy. came down to see his old en-

he had SO faithfully worked many
wears. Tom, as he is known every
where. could not control his feelings,
and huge tears coursed down his face.

the first man to welcome me to Iowa.

got off the train at Clinton, of coming

the first time ever put foot on Iowa
SOIL And most certainly he had not
forgotten it. 1t happened away bach
ia 1866. There is not a porter in the
state of Iowa who knows more people
or has more friends than Tom B1ag

1863. at jackson, Miss, just after the

WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK.

During the past week we partially
investigated the plans and methods OF
the Equitable Mutual Life and Endow-
ment Association, of Waterloo. We
also took casual glance at the laws
governing insurance companies owned
and operated by Iowa men with Iowa
capital. We found much to commend,
and will give our readers the full re-
suit of our investigation in our next
issue. We would advise those about to
take out insurance to wait and see
what good inducements this company
is making. 1t is an old, reliable COM
