CHARLESTON, W. VA, February 10
Mr.. Stapleton has at last recOg the
fact which was plain 10 everybody else
a week ago, that none OF tbs bills re-
curing State or county officers to turn
a part of their fees into the public
treasury, could be passed. Mr.. Martin,
member Of the House from Kanawha
county, voiced the sentiments OF his
party on Tuesday, when be intimated
that-it would be had party policy for the
Republicans TO disturb the fees of OIL
GERS now, when the Republicans have
the hope OF coming into power and reap
ing the benefit of the fee bills. For this
reason the fee bills will all be killed.
Mr.. Stapeton is, however, pushing
his bill requiring county officers to keep
q separate account of all the fees re-
ceived by them and report the amount
TO the Auditor every year. This bill is
opposed by the Republicans on the
ground that these officers will be com
PEELED to employ bookkeeper TO keep
these accounts. The severe penalties
provided for violations of this law In
making false returns, or OF making a
mistake, will render il dangerous for
any one TO hold a county office. The
penalty for each olfense is imprisonment
in the comfy jail for a term OF not less
than one year or fine Of not less than
$50

THE SPORT IN OLDEN DAYS
In the older days sportsmen used to
believe that all q boxer needed to De
successful was either clevsrness or
gameness. They did not seriously take
other qualifications into consideration,
and they were inclined TO doubt that
skill and courage went together In equal
portions. Thus the old fellows wond
back John MorrisseY against almost
anybody on account OF his extraordinary
gameness, although he was anything
but clever, aud would, with almost
equal promptness, place their money on

derful skill, although they believed him
to be a rank qultter. Rather paradox
ical. but true all the same. Morrlssey,
they insisted, could not be whipped
with an axe, and Gardner, they argued,
could cut almost auy man into ribbons.
Boxing, like every other profession,
has made great strides in the way OF
advancement. There is as much differ

OF boxing as there is between day ana
