Out"

Tommy Sears of England was knock
ed out by Joe Ffederling of this city. in
a two round prize fight. which was pull
ed off in North Topeka last evening.
A bout 100 people paid one dollar to see
the fight which lasted barely two
rounds.
The fighters. their seconds, the Off
cials and those who were fortunate
enough to have a dollar to spend on
prize fight such as is generally pulled
of in Topeka, gathered at the hail of
what is known as the Imeprial Athletic
club on Kansas avenue in North To
peka, about 1890 O'Clock last evening to
witness the fight. Such gatherings
have come together before in Topeka,
and have either been stopped by the
police or else the fight has been so tame
that the sports would become weary
and cry fake before it was over.
The fight last night began at 1O:45
o'clock The first round was give and
take between the two fighters, with
Sears having a little the better of the
round. The second round was opened
by Sears. but Fiederling got a chance
to jab Sears on the jaw. laying him out
for ten minutes and winning the fight

A SELFISH CAPTAIN.
Commander of the Aztec Tries to
Avoid Giving Relief to Dis
tressed Americans.

Boston. Dec. ia letter received
here from a naval officer stationed at
CaNite. Philippine Islands, gives the
story of the wreck of the United States
ship Charleston on the sunken reef
north of LuzOn, November ., and tells
Of an experience Lieutenant Mcdonald
had after he left Camiguin island,
where the Charleston men had landed,
to go to Manila to report the accident.
The letter says
Lieutenant Mcdonald with BOatSWain
Glynn left Camiguin island on NOvem-
ber Z, in a sailing launch for Lingayen
where it was known our ships We're
cruising. They had hard winds along
the west coast of LuZOn and heavy
seas at times. A short distance out
from Lingayen the launch met the
army transport Aztec. Lieutenant Nc
Donald hOisted a distress signal and
placed his boat in the way of the big
vessel He hailed the transport and
the captain told him to tack ship and
come alongside. Lieutenant Mcdonald
said that while he was trying to come
into the wind the Aztec started to run
away and it was only when he saw the
launch charge him that the captain
finally stopped, after having gone three
miles. Lieutenant Mcdonald was very
angry and demanded an explanation.
He said the captain made a lame ex-
cuse and agreed to tow the launch to
Lingayen. where the Oregon was found.
The captain of the Oregon immed-
lately sent the Helena to Camiguin to
relieve the shipWrecked men and the
CallaO to Manila with Lieutenant Nc
Donald to report to Admiral Watson.

BRITISH DON'T LIKE
Those In Samoa Object to Passing
Under German Flag.

of the Evening Post writes as follows
from Apia. under date of November q:
The news that SamOa-that is
UpOlu and Savali-is to be handed over
to Germany, was received here with
great annoyance by those British who
have so long and so conspicuously
worked to bring the place under British
domination. The chances are that most
of these people Will leave Samoa for
good. The small Malietoan party. who
had hoped to get into power long
enough to officially ask for British pro
lection, are very dOwnhearted and some
of them talk of moving up to Tutuila
so as to live under the Stars and
Stripes. So far the Germans have quiet
ly enjoyed their success. no public
demonstrations of any kind having been
made. 1t is not at all likely that busi-
ness in the island Will be seriously af-
fected. and the chances are that af-
fairs here will be much irnproVed q

4 H1TH the days of Lent come

NAV thoughts of Easter gowns 5 VN and Easter bonnets, and also of spring housekeeping and renovating. The past 12 months have been fairly prosperous for the majority of man. kind in America, and this spring will sec many changes made in homes as a result Parlors. drawing rooms and libraries that have answered the pur- poses of the family for years will be changed to suit the more modern styles. And in some homes perhaps the growing daughters will be allowed changes in their rooms that they have long desired.
 But the expenditures need not be large for the ordinary renovations and changes. One can hardly imagine the many pretty things that are offered in upholstery goods, in curtains and drap- cries, at such low prices that the mer- chants say there is absolutely no profit in them.
 The newest and one of the prettiest things being offered i'll upholsteries is peacock printed linen. It is especially adapted as new coverings for old furni- ture, and is shown in all colors, the brightest being the most popular The designs in these goods are flowers, birds, butterflies, and in fact almost every possible design.
 Another novelty that is pretty is crested bird linen, which matches the peacock linen in general effect, but is more suitable for smaller pieces of furniture, as the designs are smaller. Combinations of the two are sure to be pleasing.
 For those who desire something more expensive the new silk tapestries offer unusually pleasing effects. These are shown in the brightest colors imagin- able. These are especially adapted to the more elegant reception and draw ing rooms,
 For libraries plush will continue to be used extensively. It is shown only in the plain eolors, but the shades seem more pleasing than ordinary. The greens, golden browns and reds are es- pecially noticeable.
 For something thatis both cheap and pretty there are double faced cretons,

Those Little CurIs.

No matter what the style of coiffure is, wether the hair is done high or low, or in pompadour combs, below the coil there are found two, sometimes three tiny curls. They add quaint coquet- tishness to pretty face that is charm ing in the extreme. Not once in 50 times are they natural. It is imprac- tical to curl the ends of the hair that are needed to wind up scientifically the coil. But they are pretty just the same and make pretty face twice as attrac- tive.
