upon his hands, the man of iron
Wept like a child.
Experts who watched the bat
tie thought Jeffries was done at
the end of the. seventh, but after
that his youth asserted itself and
his tremendous reserve strength
came to his rescue. Fitzsim-
mons, on the other hand, was
growing desperate, and in the
eighth Jeffries had something the
best OF it. But after the fight was
over the experts could think OF
no man in the business TO-DAY
who is at once big enough and
scientific enough to make a good
fight for the boiler-maker. One
thing is certain, no middleweight
can do the trick. There must
come now another giant to fight
a giant. Jeffries is not finished
sparrer, but he is wonderfully
quick for a man of his tremen-
dous size-the quickest big man
sporting men are saying tonight,
just as they used to say of John
l.. Sullivan when he was in his
prime.
Jeffries is bigger than Sullivan,
and never was SO big a man
trained so fine. Had he had any
superfuous flesh he could never
have stood the pace cut out for
him. But he stood it and inn
proved at the very time his
chances seemed poorest.
When Jeffries stripped a
mighty cry of approval went UP
from the thousands about the
ring. An old-time fighter cried
out with an oath: He is the
biggest beast | ever saw train. Il
he ever gets to Fitzsimmons its
all over

third. He looked like it and his
hackers believed that he had
sized his man up and would soon
land the decisive blow.
But that is the history of all
battles Jefries was simply tre-
mendOus. He is the ring giant
and, awkward as was his stoop-
ing position, he landed on the
champion with an ease which sur
prlSed his WarmeSt admirers. In
fact he proved what Corbett and
other finished boxers had said OF
FltzSimmons, that he is not the
most difficult man to hit.
Defeated in what was to have
been and doubtless will be his last
battle, old "Fitz" gave the sport
ing public what, in their own
language, was the greatest run
for their money they have had in
a decade He was beaten down,
not alone by sheer weight and
tremendous strength, but by a
deceiving style OF fighting which
often led him to place his jaw in
jeopardy In the early part OF
the fight, in the fourth and fifth
rounds, the realization seemed to
come to Fitzsimmons that he
must make a short fight or none.
His boast that we would win in
two rounds was forgotten, as was
Chief Devery's threat that he
would stop the bout after the
first hard blow.
Fitzsinmons went to the floor
four times in all, and he was often
bathed in his own blood, but the
Chief of Police sat through it as
it was predicted that he would
until the heart-broken seconds
carried Fitzsimmons from the
ring and brought him back tc
sensibility. Then the champion
knew that the mighty shout
which shook the building and
which rang in his dulled ears was

" simmons, old fighting dog
that he is, went once too
often to the ring and tonight
Jetfres, the California boiler
maker, knocked him out after a
terrific battle in the eleventh
round. Fitzsimmons had been
dazed in the tenth and had been
knocked down before that.
Jeff" a perfect Hercules, who
had been out-pointed early in the
fight, showed his great recupera-
tive powers later, and while the
champion followed him up close
w and tried to land a decisive
blow, he received it himself and
the Californian was hailed as
champion by from eight to ten
thousand maddened spectators.
Flush to Fitzsimnons' jaw
shot Jeffries' awful left. The
champion was stunned. His
mighty arms fell a little from
their true position. In an instant
Jeffries' right shot right across
and the mighty Fitzsimnons was
down and out. He fell on his
face, rolled over on his side and
then slowly upon his back. His
lanky form stiffened and his arms
lay wide open on the floor.
Bleeding and unconscious he Law
in the dust where his good right
arm had sent many a man before
him. His gameness had been
great and admirable.
He was practically beaten
man when he was knocked down
twice in the tenth round. His
terrible blows and his greater
agility had wearied the boiler
maker, but as often as Fitzsim-
mons landed Jefries was tired
rather than really groggy.
There is no doubt that in the
ninth round Fitz thought himself
a winner, as he did also in the

and find out their sentiments in re-
gard to having Fourth OF July

The opinion OF the merchants was
almost unanimous in favor OF the
project, seventy being favorable
and only four untavorable. At
the regular meeting of the Busi-

night, definite plans were inaugur-

take the affair in charge. 1t is the
intention to celebrate on a grand

The local lodge knights OF

for the appearance at the opera

evenings, April 2Ist and 22d, OF
the Sanford Dodge Company, a
sterling theatrical attraction. On
Thursday night the prisoner OF

the night following damon and

"The Prisoner OF Spain"
IA Cuban war play founded
upon our late war with Spain
should be an attraction above all
others to win the hearts of our cit
izens. The Prisoner of Spain is
said to contain some well known
actors The unfailing success of
this play is in part owing to the
splendid and picturesque scenery
with which the piece is dressed
the stage settings are as accurate
in detail as they are beautiful in
effect. The comedy is first class
and the dramatic element is singu-
larly fascinating. possessing as it
does a stirring and romantic mar
tial spirit, tempered with the quail
tiles OF a refined and high class
drama. The play is in every way
deserving of the remarkable sue
cess which has. attended it. .

With these condi-

in the saddle. With these condi-
tions, it will be readily seen that
even large majority OF brave, de-
termined men mad to hght against
heavy odds. Skill and success
came with experience, and the
combine" was defeated and hum
bled in it's last conflicts, which
eliminated in their complete over
throw when they stole the Utility
bill. This "combine" had twenty
nine names signed TO a solemn
pledge to stand together, four less
than majority. This ring was built
up by parcelling out the appropri-
ations, some Of them robbery OF
the public treasury, and by prom
ises OF getting individual bills
through.
Some could not thus be bribed.
They return to their constituents
with their appropriations turned
down, and their bills sleeping in
the death chambers OF the com
mittecs; but their integrity defeated
many pernicious laws and forced
upon the statute books some OF
the most beBcircent measures that
will in years to come be found
there. The combine" defeated
the antitrust bill, because its au-
thor was not sincere, TO put II
mildly, also, railroad law, and
the Denver charter and few Other
good measures They have to their
credit the law to encourage slug
ging, the most disgraceful act
credited TO the Twelfth Assembly.
The bull was defeated; but the
speaker went TO an inyertebrate
member and he wasn't a woman)
and compelled him to change his
vote when the bill was beaten.
Notwithstanding the politicians and
all that rumor has proclaimed. the
Twelfth Assembly has passed
many wise and good laws which
will result eventually in increas
ing the revenues, more equita-
BILE assessment and taxation, re-
ductions OF salaries and other tax
burdens, several good school laws,
and many others IN the interest OF
good government and for the benefit
OF the taxpayers and citizens.

He was eager for a playmate,
He was hungry for a 10Y.

Wasn't meant for little boys
And sometimes the little fellow
Left a book upon the floor.

Or he failed to close the door.
In House Of Too Much Trouble
Things must be precise and trim
In a House of Too Much Trouble
There was little room for him
He must never scatter playthings,
He must never rOn1p and play;
Every room must be in order
And kept quiet all the day.
He had never had companions.
He had never owned a pet

Ev'ry room is set in order
