DIXON NOT DOwNED.
The COIOred Featherweight Too
Fast for Jerry Marshall

Fast Tor Jerry Marshall.
Boston, March lit took Champion
George Dixon but seven rounds to get the
decision over jerry Marshall at Music hall
tonight. Marshall did not meet the ex-
pectations of the $500 sports present, but
there was some excuse for him, as he had
to take off considerable weight yester-
day and weighed i'm at 125 pounds, or four
pounds over weight. Dixon was, however
one-half pound over weight, too, so no
forfeit was required. After the first round
II was evident that Marshall was out
classed by the wonderful colored lad of
this city, who showed throughout the bout
that he is far from being a back number
Dixon forced the fighting from the start
and Marshall narrowly escaped being put
out in the first round, the gong alone saw
ing him. In the middle of the second
round his lsg became cramped and despite
the rubbing they received from his sec
onds they continued to grow worse. and
Marshall ordered his seconds to throw up
the sponge on going to his corner at the
end OF the seventh round. He was wise
IN so doing, even though il reflected on his
gameness.

Burning Coal Banks,

s. p. Morrell and F. A. McEveny re
turned last Saturday afternoon from the
II ranch, in Wyoming, where they
built dwelling house for T. n. Mat.
thews, the cattleman. The TT ranch is
almost directly south of Gillette, on the
Belle Fourche river, and the country
about there is very rough and broken,
being cut up by the Belle Fourche and
its tributaries. Three miles from the
ranch is burning coal field, and its
presence may be easily detected by the
odor of burning sulphur that psrvades
the air for radius of ten miles or more.
Mr.. Morrell visited this field, and says
to all appearances it has been afire for
and, indeed, Indian traditions
bear out that supposition, for they tell
OF the existence Of underground fires
in that immediate section when their
earliest fathers first visited the place.
The coal vein lies about fifteen or

with precipitous banks, tells where the
fire has been. Under these banks the
fire is still alive, aud the ground is
warmed for several yards, while the
sulphurous fumes are suffocating. In
one crack, caused by the earth prepar-
ing to toppIe away from their bank, Mr..
Morrell says he could see the fire, re-
sembling large, red hot coal, or. more
closely, molten iron, at depth Of fif-
teen feet. 1t does no. blaze, but smould-
ers along; hence the consumption Of
the coal body is very slow, but steady

A recent Yankton special says: A
prominent politician, who has spent the
greater part of his life in Dakota politics
and who has recently made a trip
through the state to learn something of
the situation, says Of the result of his
investigations: 'The republicans are
putting up the greatest fight ever known
in this state, and the liberality of the
national committee in sending scores of
prominent speakers into South Dakota
is extremely gratifying to the campaign
carried for Mckinley and sound money
by overwhelming odds. There have
been distributed some twelve hundred
thousand pieces Of literature, or an
average of about five pieces to every
man, woman and child in the state.
This sound money and tariff literature
has been sent to every nook and corner
Of each and every township, and is
making new converts every hour"

Petigrew's Arteslan speech.


Pettigrew, the senator, is now full
fiedged pop, with all the calamity howl.
ing and kicEing procliyities common to
that ever restless and sorely disturbed
political organization. A recent dis
patch from Artesian gives the following
extract from bis speech delivered in
that place:
I'm his speech here Saturday night
Pettigrew said the supreme court of the
United States was composed Of corpora
ton lawyers, who decide cases in the
interest Of monopolists; and when
Bryan would be elected they would be
replaced by honest men as fast as they
died off-and may God hasten their re-
movai." The usual courtesy OF the good
people Of Artcsian toward public
speakers is all that saved him from
being Kissed from the stage. He says
Il am very anxious to debate with Nc
kinley on the financial question and
would swipe him off the face Of the
earth" Pettigfsw devoted twenty
minutes to abusing Mr.. Butterworth.
He said "Poor old Ben! The last
dirty job he had was defending Breekin-
ridge" Throughout his whole speech
his language was anything but courte-
Gus and refined.
What is the matter with that good
liberal-minded senator of
ours? One would naturally expect
little something better from him after
him to Washington for seven
years. Possibly it is due TO his espousal
of down-in-the- heel cause.

it, the story that the silver dollar was
'assassinated' through the law of 1878
by some dark, corrupt plot. This fable
has been so often and so authoritatively

Charges Answered.

Replying to communication from c.

to certain statements made by Freeman

speech in that place. State Treasurer
Phillips submits the following:

G. E. HAYWARD, Garden City, 5. ID.
DEAR SIR Replying to yours Of the
18th inst, in which you ask for informa.
ton as TO q statement made by Freeman
Knowles in a speech, made in your city,
in which he stated that at the time OF
the issue OF $500, 900 of state funding
warrants i deposited $4,000 in the
banks Of Deadwood, and that before the
state received one solitary cent Of bene-
fit from the above warrants ($75,000)
had paid $1,000 interest money.
There is not word Of truth in the
statement. The facts in the matter are
as follows: On February 9, 1895, this
Office negotiated the sale of $25,UO0 OF
funding warrants with the American
National bank of Deadwood, and the
funds were placed TO my credit ~ state
treasurer on February IL, 1895. There

which time interest ceased.
On February Ia, 1895, this Office nego-
tiatsd the sale OF $50 ,000 Of state funding
warrants with the First National bank
Of Deadwood. The funds were placed
to our credit February %, 1895. At that
time the total amount Of warrants reg
istered and not paid for want Of funds
was SIS. .O6S.01. On February IS all reg
istsred warrants were called for pay
ment.
On March III, 1895. negotiated the

The funds were placed to our credit

OF the last named sale, which were is

Under the republican system our ex-
port trade was sustained and it gave q
balance in our favor. Reinaugurate it,
and our present disturbances will soon
be adjusted and our financial perplexi
ties will largely, if not altogether, right
themselves. With a republican victory
in November the conditions that existed
in the early part oflS82 may be restored,
confidence return, and that splendid era
Of republican prosperity again bless the

The policy of protection has been
thoroughly tested in this country with
the most favorable results in number
Of instances. The New York Mail very
pertinently says: THE history of pro-
lection is the record of the most pros
porous and glorious 80 years of our
national life. The marvellous develop
ment ofresources, the magical expansion
of our industrial interests and the mag
nifcent growth of the nation in power
and influence have taken place under
the fostering care of tariff protection.
Wherever there has been breakdown
in the averages Of prosperity, or wher-
ever there has been a downward
tendency in enterprise, wages or values,
1t has been due to temporary depart
urs from the protective principle and
the adoption Of free trade. Protection
has invariably been attended by good
times, and low tariffs have invariably
been followed by periods of depression
and hardship. The vital issue of 1896
is protection. Keep it before the people
and the people will do the rest"
