violent exercise and for the greater
part of the day he remained is his
quarters. Not many of his visitors
were admitted to see him and the
throng could only get a glimpse of the
red-haired fighter as he strolled around
the yard. His big dog Yarrum was of
service in keeping the visitors from the
house. for although he does not fly at
every body who comes near, Yarrum has
a general air of unsociability, and
pair of wicked looking yellow eyes that
form a combination not calculated to
induce familiarity. Julian was around
the ranch for the greater part of the
day with the exception of a short time
when he drove to town. he said that
there was no doubt that there would be
a fight on the 18th, but declined to say
anything about the trouble he had with
Dan Stuart the night before over the
receipts from the exhibition of the pho
tographs He expressed the most un-
bounded confidence in the prOWess of his
auburn-topped brother-in-law and said:
i will give you one pointer and that
is if you are going to put up any money
on this fight just put it up on Fitzsim-
mons for he is sure winner"
When asked if he did not think that
the superior weight of Corbett would be
a serious handicap to FitZsimmons,
Julian said: Il think that F'itzsimmons
can whip any man in the world no
matter what his weight may be.
know that Corbett will be much heav-
Ter than Bob, but it will not do him
any good. Fitzsimmons will win that
fight as sure as the man enters the
ring
Julian was prolific in promises of
success for Fitzsimmons and cannot
see how he can lose
Fitzsimmons will enter the ring at
very close to 165 pounds which will be
just about 20 pounds under the weight
Of Corbett. This is just about the
weight a which Charley White, the
trainer of Corbett had declared to be
the best fighting weight of Fitzsim-
mons and at which he has said that
with the best man in the world, no
matter whom he might be.
F'itzSimmonS would not express an
opinion regarding the outcome different
from that which he has uttered so
many times and that is that he is a
sure winner. He did not boast and ap-
pear any too confident, but at the same
of confidence in his ability to win. He
did not conceal the fact that he knew
well that he is about to go against a
hard proposition and he had the air of
a man who did not fear to encounter
the danger which he did not in any
way under rate. He said he rather ex-
pected that Corbett would be the ia
should be so, but he remarked with a
grin, favOrites have been beaten be-
fore now and one is going to be beaten
again. Betting on a fight does not win
it,"
Mrs. Fitzsimmons who was present
smiled and nodded her approval of
what her husband said. She has, as is
husband and does not consider it
among the possibilities for him to lose.

BETTING Is LIVELY.

Carson City, New, March 16.-The
trouble over the demand made by Mar
tin Julian for a third of the receipts
from the exhibition of all photographs
of the fight, has been adjusted, and
there is no possible obstacle in the way
of the fight being pulled off tomorrow.
Stuart made short work of Julian last
night and it is announced this morning
there is no prospect of any more trou-
BILE
The morning was dark and gloomy.
There was heavy snow storm up in
the mountains all day, and the clouds
hang heavy over the valley, the air con-
tanning a lively suggestion of snow or
rain No postponement of the fight will
be made however. unless the weather
should be unusually severe tomorrow,
and there is at present no immediate
prospect of such weather as will call
for putting off the fight.
The betting, which was carried on un-
til long after midnight was steadily in
favor of COrbett. the odds being 61s to
TO- Fitzsimmons being on the short end.
BY a curious freak in the betting in the
mutuals, the combination of Fitzsim
mons. Smith and Flaherty is selling at
) to l, and the combination with Cor
bett. Smith and Flaherty at TO 1. The
three California men continue to be the
favorites, however, the com animation of
Corbett, Green and Hawkins being at 2
10 l.
Even money on Green was offered last
night, but there were no takers. The
betting has not been heavy so far, and
all of the wagers laid this morning were
for small amounts.

an important factor in Brown county
and with two men of the standing oi
Morrill, and Schilling against him it is
more than likely that Leland will not
be able to carry off the Brown county
delegation in his vest pocket
Doniphan county is Leland's own
err up there till the county goes Demo
cratic or Populist. The delegation from
Donaphan county won't know who they
will support till they get to the conven-
ton and Leland tells them.
Jackson county is Broderick's home
county and will support hint is also
an anti-Leland county and viii no
doubt be more friendly to Curtis than
to Bailey.
Jefferson county is an anti-Leland
county and is very friendly to Curtis
Atchison county is one OF the large
counties and will have one of the large
delegations in the convention Atchi-
son should be an anti-Leland county as
ingalls,, Guthrie and Chisholm are all
anti-Leland men and are all said to be
friendly to Curtis
LeavenWorth is another large county.
Many of the leaders are bitterly Oppos-
ed to Leland and in the last congress
siOnal convention LeaVenwOrth county
held the balance of power and cast her
vote for Broderick and against Bailey
and Leland. Senator Baker will prob
ably see that Lea VenWorth county S
delegation is divided, unless Leland
should fight Baker at Washington this
winter over the Kansas patronage in
Whlcn case BAKER nlSnt take a mana IN
the congressional fight.
Shawnee county will have the larg-
est vote in the convention and Will of
course cast her vote for Curtis.
In the last convention Bailey and Le-
land had the support of Nemaha,
Brown and Donaphan counties. 1t is
very doubtful if Brown can be counted
in the list next time Even if it could
these three counties would only give
Bailey Al votes in all. This it is thought
will be Baileys entire strength, 80 votes
short of a nomina ton.
Curtis will have 80 votes in Shawnee
county to start with and would get
enough from the other counties to cas-
lily lead both Bailey and Broderick
should they both run. In case Broder-
ick should decide not to run and throw
his support to Shawnee cunty, Curtis
nomination is assured.
On the other hand if Leland should
conclude that it is useless to stand
out against Curtis and should lead the
Doniphan county forces into the Shaw
nee camp this with the vote which will
come to Curtis from the other counties
will have the same result.

LATER FROM GRIFFIN.
What the Conductor on the st. Joe
Train Says of the Affair.

Conductor Harry Griffin, who has
charge of the train from which H. S.
Nichols, the Topeka shoe merchant was
elected last Wednesday night and sub
Sequently robbed of valuable diamonds
says that any statement in regard to
his implication in the affair is absolute
ly false To State Journal reporter
today he said: There is only one side
to this story. A man was drunk. When
l went to get his ticket he said he had
lost it. He pulled out his watch and
said that ii was a better one than any
Santa Fe man carried and he laid it on
said: I'll be back pretty SOON The
brakeman says that pretty soon after
1 went back into the other car Nichols
found his ticket. When L went back to
him I gave him his watch and asked
him for his ticket. He held up the tick
ct and said he didn't have to. He used
very abusive language. l called the
other passengers in the smoking car
what he said. l asked him three times
for his ticket and then 1 demanded it.
He abused me and pulled the string.
When the train stopped L said to aim:
Do you need any help to get OFF, He
walked by me and stepped off the car.
The last thing he said to me was: I'm
surprised at you. 1 didn't lay a hand
on him. although he abused me awful
ly. The agent at Rushville says that
two colored trampS were at his station
a short time before Nichols got there
and they probably robbed him. When
he put his watch away he showed it
down under his underclothing. This is
probably what saved it. The agent at
Rushville found it there. Nichols left
his overcoat on my train and there was
bottle of whisky in it, There is but
one side. 1t is foolish for him to bring
suit against the railroad company, for
he hasn't a single witness. He was too
drunk to know who they were. There
is no doubt that he has been badly
used"

Work at the Liberty.

Chas. Boyle and Thos. Maloney were
in Neihart Thursday attending to a few
business matters. They have a good
bond and lease on the Liberty mine at
Barker and have shipped about As tons
of ore. Their last car was shipped
Thursday and the promise is good for
many more to follow. The Liberty mine
has been known, even since 1890, to con-
tain "a strong body of ore, but for one
reason or another it has remained idle for
the past seven years. The present oper-
ators, including the above-named and
John and Robert McCooey found many
obstacles in their way, and many weeks
of work before them in the mere matter
of prcliminaries. They encountered 1875
feet o. water in a shaft, which was reach
ed only by entrance through rs feet OF
tunnel, which was badly caved. They
have opened up the mine for good work
and can now hoist ore as fast as the
teams can haul it away. We congratu-
late the boys on their success, and also
rejoice that the town of Barker gets the
benefit of this enterprise.

free books will follow as a natural Sc
quence.
1t is claimed by the advocates OF this
system that it will increase the attend
ance at school, as many pupils remain
away ON account of not being provided
with necessary books. OF this | can say
little, as ! have had no experience with
free books. But during ten years exper-
fence as principal of different schools,
and having had several thousand pupils
under my charge, | have never known a
single case when a child remained away
from lack Of books. And such a case
would be unnecessary, as the law makes
it the duty of the district board to pro-
vide books when parents are unable to
do so.
The law seems to be defective in one
important particular; it makes no pro-
vision for pupils of the high school
grades. Thus, parents having children
in the ninth and tenth grades will have
to buy the necessary books for their owl
children, besides contributing toward the
purchase of books for the general public

A Worthy Tribute.

An exchange contains the following
which we cordially endorse: "Lift your
hat reverently when you meet the teach
er of the primary school. She is the good
angel of the republic. She takes the
bantling fresh from the home nest, and
full of pouts and passions-an ungovern-
able little wretch whose mother admits
she sends him to school to get rid of him.
This lady, who knows her business, takes
a carload of these little anarchists, one
of whom alone and ~singlehanded is more
than a match for his parent, and at once
puts them in the way of becoming use
full and upright citizens. AT what ex
pense of toll and soul-weariness? Hers
is the most responsible position in the
whole school, and if her salary was dou-
bled, she would receive no more than
| she earns"
