PATCHING UP RIVERS.
Report Made of the Work Done on
the Missouri and 2 Yellowstone.

Washington, July 23.-Captain J. c.
Sanford of the engineer corps has sub
mitted a report on the improvement of
the Missouri river at and above Sioux
City, Ia, and of Yellowstone river,
Montana and North Dakota. A dixie
was built, says the report, from the
upper end of Westcott island and an
other 900 feet above it. AT Griffin bar
a dixie was also constructed. Snags
and other Instructions were removed
between Carroll and Sioux City and
several works of construction carried
on.
AT Bismarck harbor seven bikes were
repaired. A dixie was completed at
Fort Pierce and revetment work built.
A breach caused by the ice breakup
was closed with brush.
A change in the channel at Sioux City
rendered it necessary to revise the
projects of improvement mapped out
which will now be directed to protect
ing the left bank below the mouth of
Floyd river and for repairing existing
bikes. Other work will be done on the
city fronts at points to be hereafter de-
rermined. The amount expended dur
ing the year was $161, 086; balance avail
able, Sill, 444.

EMPoRIA GOES TO EARTH.
Topeka Team Has Snap and Fattens
Their Batting Average.

With two men disabled and a pitcher on
second base the Topeka base ball team
scored an easy victory over Emporia yes
Harris pitched for Emporia and the To-
peka players hit the ball whenever they
cared to. In spite of that fact Stricklett,
the crack player of the Topeka team
struck out three times and McFadden
famed the air twice.
Hubert is laid up with ma1arial fever
and Conlin has a disabled hand. Sullivan.
who lives in Topeka played in center field
for Topeka and Pitcher Cochran held
down the second bag. Sullivan is a good
hard hitter but yesterday his throwing
was wild. Fatty Faulkner the old
time catcher, is behind the bat for En-
poria. He is as good natured as ever. The
playing of Brockway at short yesterday
ed everything that came his way without
error and when he went to the bat he
sent one over the right field fence with
two men on bases. Brockway is develop
ing into a very fast ball player. Jimmy
Underwood was in good batting form yes
terday and piled up a total of five safe
hits.
Following is the score:
Topeka ............O 2-19
Emporia .........0 0 3 3 L Oil
The second game is being played today
with Cochran in the box for Topeka. To-
morrow Stricklett will pitch for Topeka.
Emporia won two out of the three games
played at Emporia but Topeka wants
three straights here.

Washington, July 23.-The Powderly

Pittsburg, July 23.-The $500 people at
the ball park yesterday afternoon saw a
prize fight, an umpire egged and two good
games and for one price of admission.
IN the third inning of the first game,
Sheridan gave batsman his base on
balls When he went out behind the
pitcher box to watch second, Hawley said
something to him and Sheridan struck
pink a blow on the cheek.
Hawley retaliated, and with two WELL
aimed blows knocked Sheridan down and
out. Hawley was put out of the game
and Hastings substituted.
In the second game Hawley was put in
to pitch and Jennings. the third man up,
was given first on what Sheridan called
an illegal delivery.
This set the crowd wild and in a few
minutes shower of ill-smelling eggs fell
around the umpire. He had to stop the
game until Captain Donovan could come
from the field and restore order. Both
games were well played. Score, first

HER ONE CRITICISM.

From the Washington Star.
Miss Cayenne was very hungry, and the
young mans gallant efforts to be enter
tanning We're not appreciated. He gave
what he thought was "A very happy imt-
tation of the comedian at the play they
had Just seen, but she only sighed and
looked wistfully at the menu card. A
cough from the waiter awakened him to
the duties of the hour, and he said
"Oh, excuse my thouShtlessness,
won't you? What would you like TO
eat?"
"Anythingr' was the answer.
But haven't you any preference"
mo. | am sure | shall enjoy what
ever you order"
"rhere's plenty of things to select
from" he went on as he glanced over the
list.
"Oysters green turtle soup, bass ter
rapn, iilet of beef with mushrooms, Cha
teau BRAND with trutfles--by the way,
speaking of steak reminds me of con-
versat!on | had with a friend yesterday
The unhappy young woman looked like
Il shipwrecked sailor who had opened u
hamper and found "A comic paper in 1t.
1T was really clever; | give you my
word it was. 1t may not have been ori-
ginal you know, but it was clever. We
were taking breakfast together and he
asked me If | liked my steak rare. And /
said no; liked it frequent. First rate,
wasn't it?"
She nodded a pathetic assent.

The Fight at Carson.

The result of the much heralded prize
= fight at Carson City illustrates that
pugilsm, like politics, is full of sur
prises. Among those who are interest
ed in such things the opinion had very
generally prevailed that victory for
Corbett was assured. He was admit
tedy the better pruportioned and heav-
SER man and the superior boxer. The
account of the contest on another page
shows that he began with the odds de-
cdedly in his favor and lost simply be-
cause his opponent possessed a tougher
muscular fibre and more of the bull
dog quality of tenacity. In other
words, the reign of the scientific sparrer
in pugilism has ended in favor of the
beastly hardhitter.
The defeat of Corbett robs the ring
of sentimental semblance of respect
ability incident to the fact that Corbett
was at least ustensibly a gentleman"
fighter, and puts it down again ON the
level Of mere sodden brutalism. This
win hasten it's passage into popular
odlum and is ON this score and to this
extent perhaps a matter for congrat-
ulatiun. Pri2e-fighting as Il sport will
be distinctly more repulsive with Fit2-
simmons as the champion than it has
been with the debonnair, sOCiety-loving
and in many ways personally fascinat-
ing bank clerk as its dominant eX-
pOnent.
AS to the lessons of the fight, little
need now he said save that the inces-
SAINT exploitation given by the press to
the inconsequeutiul sayings and doings
of these two principals in demoral-
izing episode has wrought incalculable
harm. For our part, We have kept the
affair as much as possible in the back
ground but in view of the Clamor
for the news of the fight itself, we feel
compelled to present elsewhere 8 de-
tailed report. Those who object to that
kind of literature are recommended to
pass it by as the guest at the hotel
omits to order those dishes on the menu
which offend the taste.
