made Sharkey's great bulk shiver. Clinch
after clinch came in the eighth and
ninth, and at last the one that was the
indirect cause of Corbett's loss.
When McVey got into the ring pande-
monium broke loose, and whether there
was or was not foul to cause his &C
ton. foul followed foul thereafter. Nc
Vey was dragged out by Inspector Nc
Laughlin.
"Put-up jobl" yelled the chorus at the
ringside.
"Fake!" came the reply from another
crowd.
He did it to save Corbett.' was an
other shout.
Then when the referee declared that
all be.s were off there was bedlam
of fierce epitrets; Kisses drowned the
voice of the official announcer. The
crowd seemed unable to move for Won
der at the way McVey, himself fight
er, had acted. At last hoy pulled them
selves together and began moving
noisily to the street. Men from San
Francisco jammed against Chicagoans
and helped them out with a vocabulary
of swear words. Men from Vermont
and Louisiana compared noisy notes
with Canadians and New York club
members, but above the general din on
the way to the street the words Fake"
and "Put-up job" were heard above all
others.
The crowd was splendidly handled.
Chief of Police Devery himself was
there in command and Inspector Nc
Laughlin helped him. Everybody was
seated quickly. The order was perfect,
even when the great strain came at the
end In the streets thousands were
moved along quickly. They were so
anrrv at the ending of what might
have been great battle that they hur-
riedly quit the scene of the fiasco.
One of the humorous aspects of the
affair was the appearance Of kid" Nc
Coy, who had passed the doors dis
guised as a typical Westerner, with
long black beard and mustache, black
fedora hat and dark suit. He looked

John Kelly gave his reasons for de-

manager of the club, who was one of
Sharkeys handlers.
This advice coming from the man
ager of the club who would not tolerate
such action in anybody else, angered
a Corbett sympathizer in the crowd. He
offered to bit O'Rourke $1,000 and there
by caused him to be silent.

for each Worrying jab he took forceful
revenge. He sent Corbett to the floor
early in the second round, met him
when he arose with terrible punish
ment that made his thin, muscular legs
quake, and had him dizzy when the
gong sounded a rescue.
Around the ring there were shouts of
triumph and disgust. Staid lawyers
who had money on Corbett at 100 to 80
groaned in disgust. There were physi-
clans there, business men and profess
sionaI men, politicians and men about
town. They all thought Corbett's star
was setting for tonight, but it was not.

STUDY--WORK.

1898 has knocked and the door
of the future has been opened
unto it, and as to what it shall be
is a matter entirely with us-just
what we make it. Plan with
your brain and work with your
hands. Work intelligently and
work persistently and all will be
we'll. We have settled down to
hard work and are now ready for
business. We have a complete
line of the best and most select
Fancy and Family Groceries to-
gether with all kinds of Planta-
tions Supplies, and in a few days
expect to make contracts for our
annual supply of fertilizers. In
the meantime we solicit the pat
ronage of all trustworthy and re-
liable customers. Recognizing
the fact that there are others
catering to the same kind of
trade as ourselves, and desiring
to be charitable toward them, we
refrain from quoting prices at
this time; but will leave that to
you for investigation.
Everybody recognizes us as
headquarters for fine Flour, and
no one can beat us on Shingles
or Laths.

AT THB SLAUGHTER !!
Blankets at From 35 Cents
Up, and OvercOats at
From $1.5O OH Up.

We have made another cut on
Blankets, Overcoats and Quilts,
and right in the midst of a "bliz-
zard" at that. We have drawn
our sword of energy and will not
sheath it until the years work is
done and the high prices of the
old methods of merchandising
are destroyed and the ramparts
of their existence scattered to the
winds of destruction. We have
buckled on Our armor and we
shall sally forth, transgressing
the limit of conservatism and bat
tie with our strength, experience
and money to tear down the au-
tocratic prices of ante bellun
days and lead all ambitious mer-
chants to the fort Of good goods
at the lowest living prices, and,
as occasions present, offer the
bargains that make manufacture
erS whine and cause the skilled
laborer to sigh with agony.
In a word we are leading
and we will not trot behind any
one, and our prices will be so
low that no one can cut them.
Ladies, if you want a nice winter
dress, we can cut prices for you
If you want Shoes of any de-
scription, just remember that the
man who undersells us has not
yet had the experience of being
born.
Remember that in our cut
prices on Blankets, Overcoats
and Quilts, you have bargain
opportunity, and that today, one
year from now you can't buy
these goods at 80 per cent. ad-
vance, and now is the time to act.
Our Shoes Of all kinds are 60

the slightest animosity toward
competition. Examine our fine
stock.

There was an ug ly rumor about Su-
periuteudent Neal, of the penitentiary,
in circulation in Columbia last week.
1t was TO the effect that when the
state treasurer presented Superinten-
dent Meals check for SO, 900, the bank
refused payment with the explanation
that there We're on hand "no funds
to Colonel Meals credit. The fact
was correct but the circumstances
were not such as to warrant the vari-
Gus stories that sprang up and got into
circulation. Colonel Neal explained
in the papers that when it appeared
that he would be able to pay into the
state treasury the sum of $4,000, the
state officials requested him TO get W
the money in time for it to appear in
the reports for the year just ended
so the taxpayers could get the bene
fit of 1t at once. This was impracti
