CIRCUIT JUDGE DuFFIE

Of Garland County, Arkansas, Tells the
Sheriff It II His Duty To Prevent The
Proposed Fight Between Corb0tt and
Fitxsimmons Within HIS Jcrisdiction--
The People of Hot Springs Seem to Take
It . Mere Matter of Form.
Hor SPRINGS. Ark, Oct l2.-Circuit
Judge A. M. Dufie called the sheriff
before him and informed him that it
was the sherifi's duty to take proper
measures to prevent the Corbett-F itz-
simmons contest from taking place in
Garland county, and advised him of
his powers in the premises When the
sheriff asked when and just how he
should proceed to do this the judge
failed to instruct him, saying he would
advise with the prosecuting attorney
and advise later.
This talk Of Judge Duffie seems to
have had no perceptible effect on the
people most interested and no impor-
tance is attached to- it. There is 50
little, indeed. that the local correspond
emit, who understands the true inward
ness of things here, did not deem it OF
sufficient Importance to exploit il in
the metropolitan press, as it would
have tendency to create un.
NECESSARY duOux people VIM
do not appreciate the local con-
ditions. There is no apprehension
locally that anything radical will be
done. The sentiment Of the people OF
the commonwealth at large does not
seem to be antagonistic to glove con-
tests. In 1891 pugilism under the state
law was a felony. In 1898 the legis-
lature, at the expressed wish of the
constituents of the legislators, by
an almost unanimous vote, passed
bill making pugilistic contests
a misdemeanor, with penalty for
infraction of the law fine of not less
than 81, 600 and more than 81, 500 The
local officers can be depended upon to
do their duty. If the law is broken
those who break it will suffer the PEN
atty prescribed. It is argued that no
arrests can be made before an offense
against the law is comm tilted, and the
sheriff and his deputies will be present
to look after the law.

A RANK FRAUD.
The "Wonder Stone Co.." Denied the Us
of the Mails.

The s.wonder Stone Co." Denied the Use
of the Mails.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 12.-A1l over the
country credulous people have recently
been victimized by an advertisement
of some wonderful stone. which was to
do the work of soap. razor and barber.
This fraud has been very well adver>
tised, and has also been very fully ex-
posed. The innocent one was to send
twenty-five cents to the wonder Stone
CO." of New York and receive in
return u wonderful geological speci-
men, which was to remove hair from
the face without lather and as clean
as razor. Most applicants received
a little piece of buff-colored brick,
through the mails, while many re-
ceived nothing at all and lost their
quarters wholly. Acting Postmaster
General Jones has issued fraud or
der against the use of the mails by
'sWonder Stone Co.," and it is hoped
that an end will be put to its nefarious
practices.

punishment the other day. They were
reprimauded by President Jesse.
Seven of the leaders were summoned
to the presidents Office to listen to q

boys used no force. but simply put up
such plausible stories as to fool
Tucker. Two members of the dis
cipline committee stood for acquittal,
one was in favor of expelling all the
leaders, and the fourth was in favor
of a light punishment. The punish
ment which was given was assessed
merely that the world should know
that the university authorities do not
approve of hazing. It now appears
that the Sigma M fraternity had
nothing at all to do with it. The haz-
ing was done by a bogus fraternity.
