TWO RIBS BROKEN.
Sharkey Jared Hard in Fight With the
Boilermaker.

Oharkey fareo nara IN Fight with the
Boilermaker.
Coney Island Sporting Club, Nov g.
When seen in his dressing room after
the contest, Jeffries said: "Sharkey is
the hardest and best man 1 ever met
and hardly expect to meet better
in the future. Within six months I
have met and defeated the best two
men in the world, and will now take a
long rest, probably nine months or a
year. Never again l will fight under
the same conditions The heat from
the lights overhead tended to take
away a great deal of my steam, and
the glare from the floor weakened my
eyes.
My left arm, the one that was in
jured while training, gave out in the
fourth round, and l could not use it
properly for the rest of the battle, or
the result would have been different,
for 1 think l could have knocked him
out. Sharkey is a game man and hard
to beat, but had no thought of any
different result at any time during the
battle. After my rest which l think
the public will agree that l deserve, ]
viii again be ready to meet any and all
who aspire to my title"
Sharkey was lnconSolaDle and cried
like child when he went to his quar-
tiers, and refused to talk, but Tom
ORourke, his manager, expressed the
opinion that the sailor should have re-
ceived the decision. He said that two
of Sharkey's ribs were broken, and
that during the last four rounds Tom S
left hand was useless, having been
broken on Jeffries head Although the
decision was against him, he said
Sharkey would not give up, but would
seek another match, and the next time
the result would be different.
but I don't think that this fellow
will want to tackle Tom again" said
O'Rourke. "Ill keep after him, though,
until ne agrees to another meeting, or
make him crawl.

During the past wear the Populists have

During the past year the Populists have
had a majority on the board ot commls-
sioners and have controlled county ex-
penses. Now how does it happen that
taxes have been increased over s. on q
quarter? Will the editor Of the Peoples
Voice please crack this nut.-Caldwell
News.
We will take pleasure in cracking this
nut and placing the responsibility for
the increase of taxes this year where it
belongs, as it always has iniSumner county
and in the state upon Republican off,
cials. The only levy and the only ex-
penses for which the county commits
sioners are responsible are those of the
county. Township, school district, city
and state taxes and expenses they are in
no wav responsible for. TIE facts are,
that the county levy in 1898, was 1914
mills and in 1899, 9H mills, being ~
mills less this year than last, This is
Just offset by the increase i'll the state
levy made by the present Republican
business administration. The levy for
1893, under the Populist administration
was mills, while this year it is 5H, and
still they are stamping warrants not paid
for want of funds. Will Bro. SimonS
crack this nut, why this increased levy OF
" mills and what becomes of the money,
and another. The last Republican board
of county commissioners in 1896, made
levy of II4 mills. The levy this year
was, for bridges, a mills, high school,
X mills neither of which were made
in 1896. Deducting these, the levy this
year, is 71z mills; just two-thirds as great
as made by the last Republican board.
The county levies have been, 1896,
1I4 mills; 1897, IIH mills; 1898, Io4
mills; 1899, 9H mills, a steady de-
cline under a Populist board, We
will here and now make this predic-
ton. The levies will be as steadily in
creased, beginning next year, and SO
long as a Republican board controls
The combined state and county levies
are the same this year as last. If Bro.
Simon's taxes are higher on a quarter
this year than last it is because local
levies are greater Will Bro. Simon:
either disprove the above statements
or place the facts before his readers
We would respectfully ask an answer tC
the above from any of the brethren and
will promise to show Republican extrav
gance and Populist saving to the people

The Sumner County Star and the Daily
Mail with the champion records for lying
and the use of vile and abusive language,
are outdoing themselves in trying to
draw the VOICE into their kind of a
controversy. The Standing of the
present editor of these papers is now so
low that he has nothing to lose, however
vile and abusive and lying his utterances,
as they are in this instance and, as he
knows they are. With failure and un-
paid bills behind him, in his several
attempts to run Populist, Demo-

papers, he now poses as the
Republican oracle Of Sumner county.

Christmas at the Poor Farm.

While the people was enjoying Christ
mas in the various churches, we thought
it would be too bad to neglect our un-
fortunate poor. So on Saturday evening
before Christmas we had all the inmates
assemble i'll the sitting room and each
received present-a token that their
fellow man hadn't forgot them in this,
their unfortunate condition, which was
greatly enjoyed by them. The evening
was spent in social chat and singing and
all retired feeling happy while on Christ
mas morning all arose early wishing each
other Christmas greeting. At 10 O'Clock
again Santa Claus was seen coming ever
the hill from town all rugged out in his
regalia, which caused much excitement.
The inmates clapped their hands in great
glee. Santa came in the house and
treated each and every one with presents
of various kinds and also apples, candy
and nuts. At noon the inmates was in
vited to the dining room and all enjoyed
a fine turkey dinner.

State, l appeal to all Americans to show

who are now, in the words of John Han
cock, literally offering all that they have,
all that they are, and all that they hope
to be, upon the altar of their country,
fighting to the death the arrogance and
imposition of the great British Empire,
in order to remain free and independent,
as did our American forefathers in I776
and 1872. There will be no Boer wound
ed on the British-American hospital ship.
