WILL MAKE FITZ FIGHT.
Corbett is Determined to Have An
other Battle

San Francisco, March 20.-Billy Brady
is still on the war path and seems de-
terrnined to find some way of making
Fitzsimmons give his late opponent one
more chance before he puts into effect
his announced retirement from the bus
mess. Brady who came down from the
SHOWS of Nevada yesterday accompa-
MED by KID Egan, Corbetts COLI
Ned and most of the ex-champfon's
wardrobe told a crowd on the train
something about the situation. 1T is
all very well for Fitzsimmons to say
that he will never fight again." he de-
clared. You will remember that Cor
bett made such a statement a dozen
times and yet he was dra gged into a
battle by FitzsimmOns. Well now that
our man is the under dog propose
to reverse matters and make the for
eigner give Jim another fight, whether
he wants to or not
of course Fitzsimmons will be able
to staVe this thing off for a year if he
wants to, but after that public opinion
will get too hot for him and he will
either have to fight, or get out of the
country If Jim takes my advice he
will immediat ely begin to get public
sympathy to his side by accepting Of
fers from Maher, Goddard, Sharkey, or
any other old dub who is after a fight
He can lick three or four fellows of
that c2libre in a month and then he
will be in a position to demand salts
faction from Fitzsimmons. A condition
exists in the pugilistic world a present
that was never known to exist before
You fellows may understand the news
paper business, but you don't under
stand the public's admiral ton for a
prominent fighter; I do I have made
that kind of work my business about
five years"
Brady is talking of taking Corbett to
Australia and showing the Antipodeans
how well Jim can act. He thinks the
trip will do the pugilist good and help
take his mind off his recent defeat. Cor
bett said today: Il don't care snap
about the championship. Fitz can call
himself champion and L suppose he is
But this does not annoy me. What 1
am after is another battle''
He showed his disabled hands which
were swollen twice their normal size
THAT was all done in the sixth
round said he. eff they had not gone
back on me 1 would have finished him
in the seventh. That is why 1 had no
steam"
In the presence of number of his
friends Jim expressed the opinion that
F'itz was down u seconds when he fell
in the sixth round. You can bet all you
have got said he, that he was out
more than 10 seconds. Scores of men
will back me up, but the decision is in
and there is no use kicking"

When you consider the conservative and
non-committal manner a reputable physi-
clan makes public statements in matters
pertaining to his profession. you cannot
help but wonder at the frank and posi-
tive terms used in the following letters
from physicians. all of whom stand
high as conservative and successful mem
bers of their profession. Physicians are
medicines and seldom, if ever prescribe
or endorse them.

He Will Appear No More in Public
Exhibitions of Any Kind.

Carson, New, March 2O.-Robert Fitz-
simmons, champion of the world, left
last evening the scenes of the battle
ground on which he received his lau-
rels of superiority He walked down the
street under the flakes of snow and was
greeted from every quarter acknowl-
edging all tributes with a bow. His
gait was spry and agile and his coun-
tenance was free from marks of the
battle with the exception of his lower
lip and that is healing rapidly. Mrs.
Fitzsimmons was driven to the depot
later Husband and wife sat in a cor
ner of the waiting room alone awaiting
the arrival of the train. Today Fitz-
simmons reiterated his intention of
leaving the ring.

RIGGS IN POSSESSION.
Takes Charge of the Court at GARRETT
judge Smart Retires

Lawrence. March POS. A. Riggs re-
turned to Lawrence last evening from
Garrett, where he went to demand of
G. A. Smart the seat as judge of the
Fourth judicial district. Riggs went
with the certificate recently given him
by the governor on the finding of the
state senate that he was successful in
his contest against Mr.. Smart for the
seat.
When he met Smart at Garrett the
latter said he had rendered his resigna-
ton to the governor. Mr.. Riggs laugh
ed at this, saying he could not resign
an office he had never legally held, and
went to the court room, mounted the
bench, told the clerk to record his GER
tificate, and then proceeded with the
business of the court. Later Smart
entered the room and asked to have
the fact of his resignation entered on
the records, but Mr.. Riggs instructed
the clerk to make no such entry. This
ended the proceeding and the court was
held by Mr.. Riggs until time for ad-
jOurnment.

the next state exhibition for Topeka.
porated at the late meeting and the
control is now in the hands of board
of directors nearly all living outside of
Topeka. Bids for the next show have
been asked and sent in to the secretary
Mr.. F. G. Tompkins from a half dozen
or more towns.
The bid, of Topeka, however, is con-
siderably ahead of any yet received
from any other place. Up to last night
least 500 was cash. This will be in
creased not less than 500. An early
meeting of the board will be called by
the president, DR.. P. NJ. Lewis, of Lee
compton when it is expected that To-
pe6a will definitely be decided upon as
the place for the next exhibition, to be
held the second week of January, 1898.
The Kansas State Poultry association
is becoming one of the greatest in the
country. 1t is decidedly progressive.
and is therefore getting beyond that of
mere fanciers organizat ton. This
stage was reached by eastern poultry
associations some time ago. While no
less attention is given to pure breeding
more is given to the development of the
commercial phases of the poultry pro-
ducts. This means exhibitions of dress
ed fowls, and better methods for the
immense product of the country. With
an increased demand for purer and bet
ter food along this line, will come an
increa Sed product, which means more
attention by farmers to poultry raising
This is what poultry breeders want.

GAVE WHEELER THE LAUGH.
Because He Wanted to Reduce the
Whisky Tax.

Washington, March 20.-During the
debate on the rule fixing March 81 as
the date for a vote on the tariff bill
yesterday, Mr.. Wheeler, Dem. Ala-),
got three minutes which he used to ask
for six lines of new legislation that
would bring relief to the people. L
hope you will not fail to tell us what
these six lines are interposed Mr.. w.
A Stone, (Rep., Pa.)-
Reduce the tax on whisky to rev
enue basis,' shouted Mr.. Wheeler, with
great energy.
The house laughed so long and heart
lily that Mr.. Wheeler's time expired be-
fore he could give the other five lines
in his prosperity programme.
Mr.. Bailey closed the debate for his
side. 1t was worthy of remark, he
said at the outset, that the campaign
of four years ago turned entirely on the
tariff, yet the president called an extra
session to deal with the financial ques-
ton and that the last campaign turned
on the financial question yet congress
was called in extra session to deal with
the tariff. He declared there was no
disposition on the Democratic side to
prolOng the debate.

live to see the day when you can secure
a patient audience with the people for

Mr.. Dingley closed for the Republi-
cans. They cheered him heartily as he
took the floor He said Mr. Bailey's
prophecy carried him back seven years
when, in the same prophetic tone, from
the same desk, he listened to the same
prophecy at the conclusion of the de-
bate on the Mckinley law.
But" he continued, the country is
much wiser today than it was seven
years ago. The country followed that
prophecy, it listened to the promises
and they cost the people $4,000, 600 a
year.
