Scarcely a day passes that many
persons do not in some way or other
get scratch, small cut OF a bruise
that may break the skin. In most
instances, not the slightest atten-
ton is paid to this beyond the tenn
porary annoyance of the pain and
the possible irritation when the
hands are put into the water, OF
some subsequent blow on the same
spot brings an exclamation on ac-
count of the hurt This, while a
common practice, is by no means a
wise one. The air is full Of floating
disease germs, especially the air OF
cities and towns, and an injury Of
this sort, be it ever so slight, might
furnish excellent breeding ground
for some deadly bacteria. 1t is a
good plan always to keep bottle Of
prepared carbolic acid and glycerine,
and frequently touch all bruises or
sore spots with it. This is one of
the most convenient and eifec-
tive germicides imaginable. It is
said by excellent medical authority
that the use of this preparation
would prevent half of the contagi-
Gus diseases that afilict the country.
1t is believed that many cases OF
fever and other serious ailments
can he contracted by floating
germ coming in contact with the
aSraded skin. Once snugly lodged
in this most congenial dwelling
place the germ multiplies with
amazing rapidity and soon overruns
the entire system. Therefore, when
ever there is bruise or scratch, or
any injury of this sort, germicidal
applications should be at once re-
sorted to The Home Doctor.

ODDS ON THE WEATHER.

Washington, March 16-The sporting
and sunshiny weather tomorrow, accord
ing to forecast made tonight by Maj.
Dunwoody, the officer in charge of the
weather bureau in this city. So confident
is the major that the sun will shine
in Carson City tomorrow that he said
the odds were 80 to in it's favor. This
news will raise the spirits of the sports,
who were fearful lest the day should
be cloudy, and thus make difficult the
reproduction of the fight.
"There was little snow and rain to-
day at Carson City," said the major, "but
by tonight and tomorrow the weother will
be fair, with temperature moderate. The
temperature tonight is 3S at Winnomuc-
ca, Nevada, 200 miles northeast Of Car
son; 81 at Red Bluff, Cal, and 80 at San
Francisco, and the prediction at the bu-
reau is that the rise at Carson City to-
morrow will be somewhere between 40
and 80 degrees. Light fresh winds will
prevail, but as the little fighting center is
well protected by mountains, these will
not he felt to an uncomfortable degree.
Altogether the prospects seem fair that
Carson tomorrow is to have duplicate
of the charming midwinter day which
prevailed in Washington when President
Mckinley was inaugurated.
1t Is expected that both the srnufier
fights will furnish considerable excite
ment. All the men are in good condition
and all are confident. The betting is
small, in favor of Billy Smith as against
Green, although there are so many
friends of the latter here from San Fran
cisco that they pushed his odds up.
Green will enter the ring weighing III
pounds and Smith will be ten pounds
heavier. This fight is at catch weights,
and the eastern men who think that at
any event Smith will have the better of
Green, are confident that ut these
weights he will have still better chance.
Flaherty will probably fight at III.
Hawkins will be 12S.

things he is unconventional and original.
He follows methods in his training which
will not suit one man in a hundred, but
which suit him to perfection. He acts
according to notions of his own, and he
is always victorious. He said today of
himself.
II have never fought any man on the
same plan that fought anybody before
him, and | never try to tell myself even
what my plans will be before the fight be-
gins. When | go in the ring my instincts
tell me what to do, and that is all l try to
tell anybody"
"Fitzsimmons' plan of battle" said
Julian, sis unknown to himself, except
by the merest outlines. He is the queer
est man | have ever seen and although
l have been with him for many years, |
do not understand him at all. | have
given up trying to understand. He al
ways has something up his sleeve, and he
has it now, but have given up trying
to guess him. just get along with him
the best way / can, and let the results
take care of themselves"
Fitzsimmons today declared that in
the event of his losing the fight he will
leave the country.
"What else is there for me to do?" he
asked. II can not get any more matches
in the middleweight class, and if l lose
this it will show that l am not in the
heavyweight class, and then l can not
act like Corbett, and there is nothing for
me to do but get out. l expect to win,
of course, but any man may lose fight
and, Of course, there is a chance of my
losing this one. A fighter always takes
chances, no matter what he is up against
One thing l am sure, that if lose l will
leave the country"
The weather indications tonight are
that the weather will be clear and cold
The snow clouds that have been lowering
about the mountain tops west of the city
have given place tonight to dark masses
which do not indicate in this locality any
thing more than wind This began blow
ing at lively rate at 8 o'clock this even
ing, but no one seemed discouraged by it,
as the vacuum toward which it is tend
ing will doubtless absorb all there is of
it before morning. The outlook for to-
morrow is a day with an abundance of
sum- just such day as is needed for the
fight

JOHN J. INGALLS, AT CARSON.
Statesman Out of job Pretcnds to Be
Very Innocent With Regard
to Pugilistics

Carson. New. March 16.-One of to-
days notable arrivals was ex-senator
John J. Ingalls, of Kansas. Mr.. ingalls,
is trained down to his usual fineness and
did not take up much room in the trav-
cling suit and box overcOat in which he
reached the scene. He said on his ar
rival that he did not know much about
prize fighting, either in theory or practice,
but he is very willing to learn and ac-
cepted an invitation to visit Corbett's
quarters. The ex-senator looked as
though he rather regretted the trip when
ushered into the smoky, bare room at
Shaw's Springs. filed as it was with
brawny, strong-jawed devotces of the
game. who stared suspiciously at the
gentleman from Kansas. There was lit
tie chance for escape. however, and he
followed his escort into COrbett's parl0rs,
where introductions ensued.
"How do you do, Mr.. COrbett?' said
Mr.. Ingalls,. II hope your folks are all
we'll"
"Out of sight. old man." said the cham
pion, as he shook the ex-senatOr's arm
into a state of partial paralysis; "glad
to see you"
81 intend to see the match tomorrow.
and thought | would come out and see
you," said the ex-senator. 81 do not
know much about this branch Of gym
nastics."
'I'll be glad to post you, senator" re-
piled Corbett. what can / tell you?
"Well. for instance, how hard are you
willing to hit your opponent?' asked Mr..
Ingalls,, with an evident return of cour
age.
"As hard as can punch" he answered
with laugh that abashed the question
er but he was game and came back
with another question.
"How much does it count when you hit
the other man? | do not know much
about the score"
That foored Corbett and to cover his
visitors confusion he began a little rapid
work at the dumbbells. Mr.. ingalls,
hastily retreated to far corner of the
room from which he viewed the work
with evident admiration.
II think you must be n very nice
fighter, Mr. COrbett," said the senator.
when the exhibition was finished, "and
| think you will beat Fitzsimmons. We
are both American citizens, and of course
sympathize always with Americans. /
do not see how your opponent can whip
you. you are so big. you know"
Mr.. Ingalls, drove back to town. where
he met Governor Sadler. and the two
walked together to Stuarts big arena.
"What big place." said the senator,
as he stood on the platform: "why, this
beats national conventions all to pieces.
Why, prize fighting must be very lu-
cratve business to justify such great
preparations. | am glad / came"
Governor Sadler enjoyed his visitors
enthusiasm and they went back to town.
During the evening Mr.. ingalls, met

THE BETTTNG.

Carson City, March 16.-The betting
on the fight seemed to lag somewhat. dur
ing the day, but on the arrival of the
delegations from the coast and the east
it was resumed.
Up to 1 o'clock tonight about $2j, 900
had been placed on the three fights. Most
of the money went on the COrbett-Fitz-
simmons fight. The other contests re-
ceived share of attention. C0rbett was
IS ise said ia'foh to- have placed $25Oo on Corbett
at odds ranging from 100 to 65 to 100
to IS. In the welterweight contest
Green was the favorite over Smith at
100 to so. Hawkins and Flaherty were
at even money, but very little Hawkins
money appeared.
in the combination betting C0rbett,
Green and Flaherty seemed to be the fa-
vorite trio, fifty-nne out of 234 bets go
ing on them to win. The other combina
tions sold were Corbett, Green, Haw-
kins, so; Corbett, Smith, Flaherty,- 40;
Fitzsimmons, Green, Flaherty, 20; FitZ-
simmons, Smith, Flaherty, 10; Fitzsim-
mons. Green, Hawkins, II; Fitzsimmons,
Smith, Hawkins, 10; Corbett, Smith,
Hawkins. 10.
The matter of choice Of corners was
ming the toss. He chose the southwest
corner of the ring, wishing to get the
sun at his back. leaving Fitzsimmons
no choice but to take the northeast cor
ner.
Jack McAuliffe, after visit to both
men. declared tonight that in his opin-
ion Fitzsimmons is sure to win.
"It will be short fight" he added, ''as
I think Fitzsimmons will knock that fell
low out in short order am here to
challenge the winner on behalf of Shar-
key. / have notified both men of'my in
tention."

Washington. March 15.-The following
special river bulletin was issued by the
weather bureau tonight:
Washington, s p. m.-The weather ou-
reau's reports from the central valley in
dicate continued rains in the lower Mis-
