Boxing.

Charles McKeever of Philadelphia was
defeated in the fourth round last night at
San Francisco by Frank Mcconnell of
San Francisco. McKeever did not suffer
a knockout, but was so badly punished
bruised and bloody at the end of the
fourth round tina the referee stopped the
battle, thereby saving McKeever from a
knockout. and awarded the match to
Mcconnell. The contest was even until
the fourth round, when Mcconnell went
at his man in a strong scientific manner
and had him beaten almost to a finish,
knocking him down with a terrific right
hook on the jaw. McKeever came ur
slowly and blindly, and was again knocked
down, showing that he was suffering
acutely.
Kid Lavigne has come to the conclusion
that idleness does not pay and has de-
cided to fight. Strange to say, however,
his. next opponent will not be Jack DAILY,
who has tried hard to induce the light
weight champion to come to time.
Lavigne will meet Frank Frne at the
| Olympic A. c., Buffalo, on July II. in a
twenty-round bout for a purse of $500.
| The pair will clash at the lightweight
| limit. 1873 pounds. In Erne, Lavigne will
meet a good man, but the sports are won
dering why the Kid has overlooked DAILY
and the ~latter's recent challenge.
Tomorrow night at the Lenox Athletic
Club, Spike Sullivan and Dial Hawkins
will do battle in a t~wenty-round bout
| This event has caused widespread interest
| among sporting men all over The country,
and will probably draw a large crowd.
Sullivan is the betting favorite. but the
knowing ones say that he will ave proof
sufficient to convince him he has been in a
battle after the contest is finished.

Coon morning.

OS Sunday TIE SuN printed SIX extra
= itions, containing the accounts OF
Soains demand for Consul General Lees
recall his reported assassination. Yes
day all the metropolitan papers OF the
country printed the same dispatches.
Thus was proven the fact that the dis
matches printed by the TIE SrN were
authentic. On account of the national and
iu'ernati' nal Importance OF the agitation
now before the American people, many
newspapers felt justified in issuing
z..xtras.' For the first time since 1t has
he N cs ablished the New York Evening
Telegram issued an extra Sunday edition.
-Toe Boston Herald gave to Boston tie
first Sunday extra printed in that cit!
for 100 wears. THE SrN gave to the peo
ple Iof Delaware the first Sunday extr:
in the history OF the State. TIE SrN''
move was not money making scheme
nor an effort to advertise the paper The
situation was grave, the news hao
reached every point in the lnlte'
states and TIE Sun felt justified in civ
ing the dispatches to the people Of tins
city and Delaware.

THE refusal Of the Administration to
adopt the suggestion from Madrid that
Consul General Lee be recalled was
generally and heartily approved Mr.
lee has done the country loyal and ex-
ceilent service, showing a high meas
ure OF courage ana discretion, and hav-
ing every capacity for the effective dis.
charge of his difficult and vc'y resp"n'
siblc duties. There is no reason why he
should be recalled, and to comply with
the request of Spain would be to put a
+ ight upon public official who deserves
nothing but praise and honor. Spain
can give him his passports if she plea-es,
Lut perhaps, all things considered, f"1
her to do so would not be wise.

Silver Star Lodge.

Silver Star Lodge, No. 12S, Daugh-
tiers of Rebekah was instituted Friday
night in Odd Fellows hall, and thirty
candidates were initiated The hall
was crowded with Odd Fellows, their
wives, daughters and sisters. The Ar
gos ladies were present twenty-five
in number, accompanied by several
gentlemen and conferred the beautiful
Rebekah degree on thirty candidates.
The lodge starts out with good mem
berhip and bright prospects. At mid
night a delicious supper was spread by
Brother Alberts, at his we'll known res
tsurant on Michigan street. Several
good speeches were made by the visitors
and others present. 1t was one Of the
most enjoyable events experienced by
the Odd Fellows of this city in years.

Indiana Physicians in Session.

The Indiana State Medical Society
held its 10th annual meeting at Lafay-

shall county was ably represented by
the following physicians: Drs. J. H.
Wilson, n. b. Aspinall, ID. c, Hume
r. G. Stephens, L. c. Loring and Jacob
Kaszer. DIR. Loring read paper upon
Pneumonia, which Was formally dis.
cussed and commended by the society
and ordered to be published with the
society records. There was an article
from the pen of DR.. Knott, upon the in.
justice of the Medical Law, in the case
of Dr. Franklin Trip, of Bremen, who
on account of not having registered
within the limits of the time, was re-
fused license by the board of regis
tration and examination. Drs Knott
and Asphalt, by the sanction of the
Medical Society, have undertaken
TO champion the cause of Doctor
Trip, and will aid the Doctor with
assurance of the protection of the
society in obtaining license to practice
medicine. 1t was noticeable fact
that DIR. Kasger took an active interest
and maintained the dignity of our deli
gates. DIR. II. c. Hume, and son
Albert, entertained the Marshall County
delegates of Purdue University fol
dinner Thursday afternoon. The next
meeting, and the o0th., anniversary of

Soldiers Need Money.

There is a serious need of money
among the troops who are in Camp
Mount, and there is demand among the
line officers and The pri7ates to know
when they are to be paid. Most of the
men have been In camp nearly two
weeks and so far they have had no au-
lucrative information as to when
they can expect the money which
is due them for service. Nine out of
ten of the prIvates are tradesmen who,
when they left their work to take up
arms for the state, their money re-
sources closed until the government
treasury is opened to them Nearly
every private who went into camp with
only IS or so now finds that his peck
etbook is empty, and when it is to be
replenIshed is a leading question with
him. Some are IN great need and can
not even buy postage stamps
The pay-rOlls have not reached the
Acknowledgements office and there is
no way of paying the men until these
rolls are turned III. There is plenty of
money with which to pay the men, but
the difficulty SENS to be at the camp.
AS soon as the pay rolls are presented
them who are entitled to pay will re-
celved II, state officers say.

1t might be well for Gov. Mount
to make something of an effort to
be little more consistent. When
the Indiana National Guards were
called out, he stated explicitly that
not man was expected to enter
the federal service if not so inclined
or if so situated as to make 1t incon-
venient to enlist under the presi-
dents call. Since then he seems to
have undergone change of mind,
if one may judge from his harsh
criticism of the men who acted upon
his suggestion. He criticises them
quite sharply and intimates very
broadly that they are towards, etc.
This is strangely inconsistent with
his former declaration, when he said
no one would be less thought of for
declining to go into military service
and that going or not going was
purely matter of choice.

War is Business.

The men who quickly started for the
wars are complaining of physical hard
ships. They have not blankets or the
right kind of food. All this is part of
campaigning. The deficiencies are
natural and unavoidable.
When the call came this nation was
practically unequipped for field service.
The militia was a sort of holiday organ
iZation
The cry went up for war. Such an
appeal always stirs the blood of youth.
The boys had no idea what war actually
means.
Now there is touch OF frost and a
lack of blankets, tie boys complain.
They are not used to that sort of thing.
1t is simply the difference between play
and work.
When the state turns over the militia
to the United States the supplies will
come from professional sources and be
10 regular form; buG with that shifting
of authority will come new lessons.
One of them is the duty of soldier.
Regular army men must not grumble.
They must take what comes--cold, heat
rain, snow, mud and fatigue.
War is-business.

The American Flag.

The Columbia City Post says: 1t is
surprising at the number of people who
are not familiar with the make up of
the American flag. During recess in
court yesterday certain legal gentle
man began investigating, with the ere
suit that one soldier who had been IN
the service for three years was unable
to tell how many stripes are found upon
the national emblem. Another gentle
man, q lawyer, was equally unsuccessful
in givin'. the description. 1t is estimat
ed that not more than one in 200 are
able to give a correct description. Car

IngersOll Speaks of Cuba.

Bob Ingersoll, lectured in Fort Wayne
a few nights ago, and in the course of
his rem arks he used the following
language:
"We saw Cuba PROSTATE on her
knees, with her worn, transparent hands
uplifted to the great republic. We saw
her eyes fierce with famine. We saw
her murdered babes, her dying and
unburied dead. And then came the
most glorious hour in the history OF
mankind when the great republic called
Spain. Take your bloody hands from
her throat. Your bloody flag shall no
longer pollute the western world |
have read'of wars wsged and the reasons
assigned for them, but | say tonight
that the great republic for the first time
in the history of the world has IN
sheathed the sword absolutely for the
sake of humanity. OF all the wars ever
waged it is the hottest. 70 say to
Spain,' You must starve no more of
your subjects, you must assassinate no
more, is the language for great re
public to use. was never so proud of
nv country as at this hour, To fight for
self is natural; to fight for ones country
is right and blessed, but to fight for
another, for mankind, for humanity, Is
nobler STILL"

A number of people have been
laying in a supply of coffee large
enough to last until the war is over,
in anticipation of a war tax on that
commodity advancing the price.
They will no doubt be somewhat
chagrined to learn that no extra tax
will be placed on coffee, tea and
sugar and that the price will not
materially advanced.

Warm Talk.

Macy Monitor: We wish we could
convince the public that the Monitor
office is no Young or Old Mems Christ
ian Association reading room, 1t is
true, the Monitor is strictly high toned
family newspaper, but it is devilish an
noying TO have dozen or two persons
to call each day and squat down on our
cushioned chairs, cock their heels upon
our tables, squirt tobacco juice at our
spitto0ns, spin their vulgar yarns, blow
their noses on the carpets and wipe
their fingers on the seats of their pants
in the presence of ladies, etc. We have
hoped and prayed for their demise for
years, and unless the good Lord comes
to our relief soon the world will hear of
sudden deaths in this locality.
