LIVELY State Encampmcnt.
OMAHA; Feb 13.-Preparations are
completed to hold the nineteenth an
nual encampment of the Nebraska
Grand Army of the Republic, which
held its first session yesterday after
noon in Creighton hall. Veterans have
been coming in on every train. The eft
forts to provide entertainment for the
$50 delegates to the meeting OF the
Woman's Relief corps have been sue
cessful and all will receive the most
hospitable treatment.
The session yesterday afternoon was
devoted to receiving reports from of
fcers and standing committees and the
days work closed with a campfire at
the hall in the evening, where tales of
army life were interspersed with music
by the Elk's quartet.
Lincoln secured the Grand Army re-
union by a unanimous vote and amidst
cheering the prize was awarded to the
capital city for a term OF tive years.
This was the action of 513 old soldiers
in annual encampment assembled.
During the afternoon the advocates
of Lincoln scored a victory in making
the location of the reunion the special
order for 9 p. m. against the wishes of
Hastings and Omaha delegates, who
wanted an adjournment until the fol
lowing day. When the time for the
special order was reached the encamp-
ment was in the midst of a ballot for
a minor office. Commander Adams
stopped the proceedings and asked if
the special order was insisted N. 1t
was and then the battle commenced.
Propositions of both Lincoln and Hast
ings were read. Each offered the usual
facilities required for a reunion. The
cash bids differed. Lincoln bid for the
reunion for one or five years, and Of
fered 500 in cash, but an amended
proposition increased the amount to
$3.50 for the first yearand 5000 for each
year thereafter. Hastings offered the
same amount in cash, limited to a term
of three years.

he received a note from

Walling not having found a room,
Miss Bryan went to Heider's for sup

night. He does not say where Pearl

settle, Downey' "phenom," kept up MS
splendid record by holding the Browns
down to eight hits and two earned runs.
He was batted lively at times, but kept
the hits so well scattered that but few
runs were netted from them.
When Henry Meth, with 'T. l.. A"
stamped upon his shirt 'front.' stepped
into the box for the Browns the Comp
ton nine raised howl that never an in
stant ceased until he was removed aid
placed on first base.
Meth is the Browns regular pitcher,
but the fact that he had journeyed north
with the Tufts-Lyons branded him as a
professional in the eyes of the Downey
nine, and they declined to turn over any
expense money until another pitcher
was substituted in his place.
Smiley. the Browns third-baseman,
then entered the box but was not de-
ceptive enough for the Downey batters,
and they piled up the winning runs in
eight innings.
Barris caught for the Browns and S.
Cohen for Downey Umpire Rivera
gave general satisfaction.
The score by innings was as follows:

sions-Burns and Cotton.

The largest attendance that has yet
filled the fine gymnasium of the Los
Angeles Athletic club was present last
night to witness the Gallagher Slater
fight over 600 lovers of the manly art
surrounding the ring and filling the
improvised "bleachers." John E. Brink,
the stalwart president of the club, pre-
sided with his accustomed grace and
dignity, and fulfilled the duties of ref
cree, as usual to the complete satisfac-
tion of all good sportsmen. Will Knip-
penberg and j. Phil Percival held the
official watches.
The event of the evening was pre-
ceded by four somewhat tame prelim-
mary bouts. AT S:t5 TWO youngsters,
kid" Bell of Los Angeles and Billy
Kelly of Chicago, both looking as if
they had been subjected to much too
severe a course of training, stepped into
the ring. Both appeared horribly afraid
of each other, but subsequent
developments proved that neither
had really any occasion to
be fearful There are many better am
ateurs amongst the members of the
club and a bout between say, Fay Ste
venson and Phil Percival, would have
been more edifying.
The second bout, however, between
young Asavedo and Sergeant, brawny
looking lad from Minneapolis, quite
atoned for the lack of interest in the
former go. Sergeant was, however, no
match for the muscular young Mexican,
who meant business from the start and
sent the young Minnesotan twice to his
knees in the first round. In the second
Sergeant perpetually clinched to avoid
punishment, but a Well-directed upper
cut from Asavedo just before time was
called convinced him that he had all
he wanted.
Billy Rapp a clever boxer from Santa
Monica, then stood up against Jack
Burkhardt, who put up such fine fight

brought off his double swing, not how
ever, doing much damage with the back
handler. The round wound up in lively
fashion, Slater showing more fight than
previously, and for once Gallagher was
on the defensive.
Eight round-A heavy right-handed
punch from Gallagher again nearly
counted Slater out, and, anxious to i'm
prove his opportunity, Billy dealt an
other staggerer with his right just before
time.
Ninth and last round-Slater was
groggy and the end was obviously at
hand Forty-five seconds elapsed be-
fore Gallagher landed terrific left
swing on Slaters jaw, which knocked
him out
Slater was not unconscious, and soon
recovered at the hands of his seconds.
Gallaghers victory was very popular
and he was given rousing cheer.

against Young Dempsey few weeks
ago. Rapp was no match against Burk-
hardts aggressive tactics and heavy
blows, but stuck to his job manfully
for four rounds, taking his punishment
we'll and escaping lot of it by clever
ducking.
Joe Cotton, the colored veteran and
Jack Burns. the Chicago wrestler, SEEM
ed inclined to indulge in the taking
business until warned by the referee
that they must get together and do
something for their money. The second
and third rounds showed a decided i'm
provement, and the bout concluded
with brisk give and take.
GALLAGHER WINS EASILY
1t took fully twenty minutes to ar
range the preliminaries of the fifteen
round so between Bill Gallagher, he of
the steadfast rolling eye, the Oakland
and Los Angeles pet, and Harry Slater
of New Orleans. The fight wa.s at catch
weights, and the men wore five-ounce
gloves. Both looked in the pink of
condition and well matched, though the
local favorite is about an inch taller
and has longer reach than his rival.
Odds of 30 to 40 were laid on Gallagher,
and the general opinion of the fancy
seemed to be that Slater would do well
If ne stood up for eight rounds. Gala
CHER did almost all the fighting, Slater
nelng content to act almost wholly on
the defensive. Billy kept his head we'll
except on two or three occasions, when
he let fly some very wild swings Slater
showed a good deal of science and made
a cool and plucky bid to stand up for
the fifteen rounds.
THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS
First round-The men spared almost
entirely throughout the round for an
opening, Gallagher on the aggressive

time he got in a light body blow.
Second round-Gallagher missed twice
and got home twice, and then brought
Slater to his knees with left swing,
Little damage done.
Third round-Slater cleverly counter
ed. The men mixed up. Gallagher got
wild and swung the air and again missed
a very wicked swing, just touching
Slater's hair.
Fourth round-Slater still kept Billy
dancing round in pursuit. Gallagher got
in three heavy blows on the neck before
sime.
Fifth round-Gallagher again forced
the fighting and twice drove the New
Orleans man to the ropes. Slater went
to mis- knees to avoid punishment Billy

Literary Notes.

The January McClure's will in
troduce new writer with a true
story of a boy lieutenant's trying
and dramatic experience in getting
command in a tough Bowery regi-
ment that had conspired to run
him out.
The picturesque quarter of the
Chinese in New York furnishes
matter for an excellent article in
DemOrest's Magazine for January
and lends itself to capital illnstra-
ton which in this case is done with
much taste.
Herbert d. Ward, the novelist
and husband of Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps Ward, has written a new
novel, which will be the fiction
feature of The Ladies' Home
Journal during 1897. 1t is a
humorous story and has the unique
title of "The Burglar Who Moved
Paradise" 1t is a sequel to Mrs.
Wards can Old Maids Paradise"
the husband taking up the pen
where Miss Phelps had naturally
to put it down when she became
Mrs. Ward.
The January Arena is one of the very
best numbers ever issued by that periodi.
cal, which now has the largest circulation
of any review published in this country.
The contents are diversified, and nearly
every article possesses some special inter
est. Probably the most revolutionary of
them is entitled "A Court of Medicine
and Surgery" by A. B. Choate. This
prominent lawyer thinks medicine and
surgery as well as the public would be
benefited by something more like the open
competition before a competent umpire
existing in his own profession, and to
that end proposes that in every hospital
there be appointed clinical Judge" and
also state physician" the latter to act
as an incentive, critic and check upon
the physician i'll charge of each case, the
clinical judge" being final referee and
arbitrator No doubt the article will
cause comnlotion, which is Just what it
is intended to do. 1t is the first of
series that will appear in the Ayena,
written by some of the ablest physicians
surgeons, and jurists, who will discuss
the subject in all its bearings, the object
being to bring the matter this winter to
the attention of some of the legislatures
now in session. The idea is certainly
novel and radical one.
There are number of strong articles
i'll this number of the 44feag, which is
developing class of literary reading
badly needed by the American people.
The most of the magazine literature for
years past might properly be designated
by the term chat "
