Sporting Talk in Regard to the Com
ing Mill

New York. Dec Sit is to be hoped
that when Bob Fitzsimmons reaches
New York he viii quickly sign the arti-
cles of agreement, and not indulge in
bluff talk or make a cheap gallery play
of any kind.
He should also muzzIe his manager
and prevent him from saying anything
calculated to provoke another WOrdy
controversy. Corbett acted very de-
Gently in coming to an agreement with
Stuart. 1t would be very nice if he
would maintain a discreet silence until
the time comes to enter the ring. The
people have had quite enough Of cheap
bluffs and chewing matches With the
articles of agreement signed lofty boasts
and noisy claims count for nothing
The place to settle the matter is in
the ring.
In no way could the fighters please
the public more than by keeping this
fact uppermost in their minds and us
ing their fists instead of their mouths
to emphasize their hatred of each
other.
If ever a fight was fought for blood
it viii be the COrbett-F itzsimmons af-
fair Frequently fighters enter the
ring and fight each other as hard as
they are capable of fighting, and yet
entertain anything but hatred for each
other In such contests it is strictly
business that predominates-
If there IS a handshake in the pre-
liminaries of the Corbett- FitzsimmOns
contest it viii be counterfeit They
viii shake hands simply because the
custom of the ring calls for such a for
mality. Two men who have said as
many mean things about each other as
Corbett and Fitz have can't but thor
Oughly despise each other. COrbeJI
viii have to take care that his hatred
of F'itz does not run away with his
judgment as a fighter

to a struggle between the government

is not unlikely the government will

ONE OF THE BEST
Results Of Secretary Columns Labors
Summed Up in a Splendid Volume

Results of Secretary Columns Labors
Summed Up in a Splendid Volume.
The tenth biennial report of the
state board of agriculture is being de-
hvered by the state printer to the sec
rotary.
The report is a very complete one,
and bears evidence of the great amount
of studious and painstaking labor that
has been devoted to its making by the
present secretary, F. D. Coburn.
1t has been the evident intention of
Mr. COburn in preparing this report of
the past two years work of this depart
ment not only to present the usual
statistical tables showing the agricul-
tural products of the state and thus
make the volume an advertisement
of the states resources, but also to
make the volume one which Will be in
teresung, instructive, actually helpful
to every farmer and person engaged in
agriculture in the state To this end
49O pages are devoted to discussion of
different crops and live stock and pa
pers written by practical men of the
state and elsewhere are given, telling
their experience with different crops
and the best farm management.
Corn, the sOrghums,, silos and ensi-
lage, corn culture, steers and he1fer
beef and addresses on Kansas. Her
Farmers and Prosperity, by Gov. Felt;
observations on European Agricul-
ture, by President Geo. T. Fairchild;
THE Sanitation of Farm Houses, by
Farmers Hope by Miss Ruth T.
Stokes are given.
The subjects are treated exhaustively
and with a view that they shall be of
practical helpfulness to our people by
laying before them Information as to
modern methods practiced and the
latest conclusions reached by those best
equipped to give counsel upon the diff
ferent topics treated.
The articles are finely illustrated with
engravings showing methods of care
and management of the crops discuss
ed and the dairying articles are illus
trated to show the types of dairy cattle
OF the different breeds and plans for the
erection of creameries, butter factories
and their equipment.
Probably more than any of its prede-
cessors it is planned to be an tagricul-
tural" volume instead Of an imigra-
ton document.It is intended to be help
full in promoting the prosperity and ad-
Vancement of the population the state
already has rather than to persuading
the millions of less fortunate strangers
that the mere fact of coming thither
with unalterably ready made views
of Kansas people and Kansas agricul-
ture means a life Of ease, perpetual
June weather, a steady diet of milk and
honey. mOnOtOnOuS political harmony,
and tireless pursuit by lucrative offices
of everybody whOmsoever.
The statistical tables have not suf-
fered by the addition of the new feat
ures as the volume is the largest ever
published by any board.
The tables give the usual complete
crop statistics of every county of the
state and the decennial census taken in
1895.

Senator John NJ Thurston was the
principal speaker of the evening He
made snort but stirring address upon
the Cuban question. He expressed the
opinion that possibly action in this

would keep up the fight until a law is
put on the statute books with or with
out the signature Of the president. that
will solve the Cuban question. In clos
ing the senator said it was the duty of
this country to wipe out of the civiiiza-
ton of the western hemisphere the blot
which defaced it.
