THE CENTRAL BRANCH, TOO
o. P. Reorganization Committee
Counts on Securing All the
Kansas Lines.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 11.-Regarding the
Kansas Pacific, the sale of which has
been postponed to December 16, the Of
ficials of the Union Pacific feel assured
that the reorganization committee will
secure the road. They profess their
firmest belief that the Union Pacific
reorganization committee can success
fully buck the Chicago e Alton or the
Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain
system for control of the Kansas Pa
cific. They base their belief on the
amount of first mortgage bonds in the
cific reorganization committee and by
the many pieces of property which
would be in dispute should any pUr-
chaser but the Union Pacific reOrgani-
zation committee secure control.
Asked why the Union Pacific wanted
the Kansas Pacific, an official of the
former road said: We want it to con-
troll business to the south of US and
must have it. We need it to equalize
traffic conditions and because of the

Topeka Pigeon Show De-
cembsr IA to 21.

Woodward's Pavilion, San Francisco,
Nov. u.-George Green of San Francisco
knocked out Owen ZeigIer of Philadelphia
in the first round last night. It was the
famous solar plexus'' blow with which
Fftzsimmons knocked out Jim Corbett
which did the work.
The round opened with Green forcing
the pace. After several exchanges in
which hOnors were even, Green forced
Zeigler to a corner and swung viciously
with his left for the stomach. The blow
landed clean and strong. For moment
Zeigler swayed forward, and then stag
gered to the corner and went down grad
ually to his knees and then on his face
He was deathly pale and groaned as if in
great agony. Referee Joe Choynsli began
counting and had reached five when Zeig-
Ter made a desperate effort to come to
his feet. The effort was too much for
him, however, and, grasping the ropes
and pulling himself to his knees, he col
lapsed and fell on his face and was
counted out. He was carried to his cor
ner, where his second worked on him for
five minutes before he was able to stand
the crowd of 5000 spectators remaining
seated meanwhile. ZeigIer finally recov-
cred and stood up, looking about him in
some bewilderment. The great crowd
over, so abrupt was the ending, but to
those who saw the blow delivered the ef-
feet was not surprising. It was d clean,
fulI-armed swing delivered on a vital
spot. After being taken to his dressing
room, Zegler was interviewed by an As
sociated Press representative and said
that he felt strong, but when he got the
blow he simply could not recover his
breath.
1T is the first time was ever knocked
out" said Zeigler, ''and 1 feel very sore
over the defeat, coming it did at such
an early stage of the fight. 1 received
two blows from Green, a right over the
heart, which brought me forward, and

100 men are at work on a tramway

James Knox Taylor, the New Supervising

The appointment of James Knox Tay-

one, for the incumbent of the position
has general direction over the work OF
erecting all new public buildings, and
as new postofices are continually being
built in many cities of the Union his
influence on architectural matters will
be widely felt. American architects
have been fighting for years against the

CORN CROP is SHORT.
Average is Lower and Kansas is Be-
low the Average.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE crop re-
port of the statistician of the depart
ment of agriculture gives 23.7 bushels
as the average yield per acre of corn,
according to the preliminary returns of
the departments correspondent. The
corresponding preliminary estimate
last year was 27.3 bushels, and that of
1885, 26.2 bushels.
The average yield in the principal
corn states is as follows:
New York, 32.5; Pennsylvania, So;
Iowa. %; Missouri, ,25; Kansas, 10; Ne
braska, 29. The average per cent of
quality is S6.3 as compared with 8S.4 in
1895, and 923 in 1896.
The estimated average yield per acre
of Irish potatoes is 64.6 bushels as com
pared with S6S bushels last year, and
1907 bushels in November, 1895. The
average per cent of quality is S1.3
against S9.2 in November last, and ga
in November, 1896.
Favorable conditions for sowing fall
crops are reported from most parts of
Europe and the condition of the crops,
as far as shown, is likewise favorable.
The opinion is freely expressed than an
increased area has been SOwn in wheat,
but this appears to be more a matter
of inference from the natural tendency
of high prices to produce such an effect
than an observed fact.
The crop reports from India continue
favorable, and on the whole this is true
as to those from Argentina and Au-
stralia, but in all these countries, the
harvest is too remote to permit any
very confident prediction as to the final
outcome. In the case of Argentina, it
may prove that more damage has been
done by the lOcusts and the spring
frosts than is yet apparent. There is
nothing to indicate that the wheat
shortage in Europe is any less than
has been supposed, While the crop of
Manitoba is now represented to be
much below the official estimate issued
in August, and that of the Canadian
northwest territories has also proved
disappointing.
