Chicago boxer Broke an Arm In
Bout with Gardiner
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Jack Moffatt, Of
Chicago, was particularly unfortunate
in his bout with George Gardiner, Of
Worcester, Mass. at the Broadway
Athletic club tonight. Moffatt had all
the better of the fight up to the middle
OF the seventh round, when he broke
his left forearm in swinging for Gar
diners head, which the latter blocked
with his elbow. Mofatt continued to
fight with his right, his left hand hanging
Imply by his side. Gardiner was unable
to land a knockout blow, although his
manager urged him repeatedly to go in
and end it,
When Moffatt went to his corner he
told the referee his left arm was broken.
White examined the injured member,
and when the bell Hng for the beginning
of the eighth round both men stepped
to the center of the ring, and White
went between them, neither having
shaped for a renewal of hostilities
White then announced Moffatt was I'M
able to continue and declared Gardiner
the winner
Much sympathy was felt for the West
ern man who, up to the time of the in
jury, seemed a sure winner having out
pointed and outgeneraled his opponent.

FAST TRAINS
OF Fifty Years Ago Compared with

New York Times
A Wall street stock Spectator wrote
the other day to President Samuel p. Cal
laway, of the New York Central & Hud-
son River Railway company asking him
TO decide on a bet that in 1852 Central
trains made the trip from New York 20
Albany in two hours and forty-five min
utes. Miles Bronson, Mr. Getaways sec
rotary, has informed the broker that such
bet loses, while the record of the period
referred TO is extraordinary. II. Walter
Webb, eX-vice president of the Central
has accumulated a number of old-time
cards of the Rudson River railroad None
OF 1852 exists, but one of 1858 establishes
that Train No left Thirty-frst street
at $40 a. m. and was due at East Albany
al 1905 a. m, or schedule running time.
three hours and forty-f1ve minutes This
time was made by Train No 8, leaving
Thlrty-first street at APO p. m, and Train
No IA, which left East Albany at D.
m. and arrived at Thirty first street at
1:3o p. m, or ten minutes less than the
other trains.
Now the fastest time between New
York and Albany is made by the Empire
State Express two hours and forty min
utes. The Lake Shore Limited makes It
in three hours and fifteen minutes, or
only twenty minutes less than the fast
train of forty-six years ago.

NAME FOR SENATOR
DARK HORSE IN THE RACE

Fight Is So Bitter Between Partisans
of Hitchcock and Allen for the
Place Made Vacant by the Death
of Senator Hayward That Some
Other Man Seems to Have the
Better Chance for the Prize.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 12-The senatorial
situation is daily becoming more COM
plicated, and there are those who claim
that the appointment of either Allen Or
Hitchcock will disrupt the party, and
that the governor will be compelled
either to appoint dark horse or con-
cede to the request made by Orlando
Tefft, chairman of the state Republican
committee, and call a special session of
the legislature to settle the matter.
Gov. Poynter returned to Lincoln to-
day accompanied by a delegation of
Hitchcock men. On his arrival at the
state house he was besieged by a horde
of friends of both Hitchcock and Allen.
The governor put in the day looking
over the mail and kilograms that had
accumulated during his absence, and in
giving a hearing to the politicians. He
intimated during the day that he may
announce the name of Hayward's sue
cessor tomorrow.
Some think Col Bryan will be appoint
ed basing their belief upon the fact that
the morning Senator Hayward died the
governor was closted for several hours
with Charles w. Bryan, brother Of Will
lam J. Bryan.

1t will not be necessary for us to tell
you of the immense amount of money
spent in improving our property during
the past year, but especially in re-
modelling our FLOUR MILLS" to the
very latest 'up-todate system, for
most of you are aware of the fact
But after getting everything in good
working order we began a series of tests
and experiments by which we found
that we are NOW making MORE and

of the results. A trial grist will con-
