THE RING

James j. Corbett, former heavy
weight champion pugilst, will meet the
winner of the Jeffries-Sharkey cham
pionship battle, which Is scheduled to
take place October %.
This was decided at a conference held
at Corbett's face, when William A.
Brady and Tom O'Rourke each agreed
to give the ex-champion first call with
his man, if successful
Corbett has been anxious to get on
a match for the championship ever
since his fiasco with Tom Sharkey, and
when the managers of the big fellows
entered his place Corbett was ready
for business.
He asked Brady and O'Rourke if
they would assure him fight with the
winner of the big fight if he would post
a forfeit. Both managers were willing.
Although Corbett has been out of the
ring for some time, he has taken the
best care of himself, and looks better
than ever before.
Since his fight with Sharkey he has
been offered several matches with infe-
rior boxers, but Corbett refused to con-
slider any proposition unless it came
from his conqueror.
1t is Corbett's desire to fight one more
battle for the high honors. He be-
lieves he can defeat either Jeffries or
Sharkey, and says he will show that he
has lost none of his old-time form.
81 have refused to enter the ring"
said Corbett, because the men l want
ed to meet were afraid to take
chance. l have never retired from the
ring, and do not intend to until | am
champion"
Ben Jordan will have a pretty stiff
opponent when he meets up with Oscar
Gardner in the fall. Gardner Is about
as odd a fighter as the ring has ever
seen. His style is his own, and is prac-
tically unimitable. His guard differs
from that of any other fighter in the
ring, and so does his style of hitting.
He IS as awkward, apparently, as a
country pumpkin as a swell city recep-
ton, but his awkwardness puzzles and
deceives his opponents marVelously. He
can hit like a kicking mule. He is as
quick as flash of lightning. Mr. Jor-
dan is going to find him a very trou-
blesome customer.
Little Tommy sharkey is pegging
away down at New Dorp, S. l.. to get
in good condition to be, killed. The
time for the execution has been fixed
for October 49, and Jim Jeffries is to
act as executioner. New Dorp Is the
place where the Jack Tar trained for
his battle with Peter Maher, and he
takes this as an augury of good luck.
He runs 20 miles a day, but he might
as well make 300. He doesn't box
much, but talks all the time. Harden

Obituary..

Miss Bertha M. Paine died on Satur-
day, April 2nd, 1900, of consump-
tion, aged 26 yre, 4 months and
4 days.
She was born in Grundy county,
Iowa, on December 18, 1872, and
came to Minnesota with her parents
in 1884.
Though always very conscientious,
she never made public profession
of religion until the spring of '93
when She joined the Hsnnepin Ave-.
M. E. Church Of Minneapolis, since
which time she has been an ardent
follower of tho Lord Jesus Christ,
After completing business course
in the N. w. U. of Commerce and
Finance of Minneapolis, she took up
the studies of the advanced course
in the Mankato Normal. =
She did her work faithfully and
we'll until March 1898, when she was
compelled to give up owing to her
failing health. A dlligent student,
always searching after knowledge,
ever eager to attain the highest
standings, she won the admiration
and leve of her teachers and fellow
students. s~.- ~ II !. !. -. -.
During all her brilliant education

IN Support Of Our Government.

s4 4 <
There is some talk Of haYing q pub
lie demonstration in support Of the
government at Washington, in its at
titude in the Philippine question
here, within short time. Meetings
Of this character are being held all
over the United States, since the
scattering Of seditious literature by
Edward Atkinson, of Boston, and
the utterances agains the policy of
the government by Laughlin, of
Coicago, who bold an office at the
head of public instruction institu-
tion at Chicago. ..,s7
The object Of these meetings are
to demonstrate that the masses are
not in sympathy with those that are
endeavoring to turn public opinion
against our government and noble
President. Those who are leaders of
the opposition have stigmatized our
flag ae IAN emblem of tyranny and
butchery" and our soldiers as "mur-
ders" and term Aguinaldo a Wash
ington. 49, =,
These utterances and others OF
similar character may not bear much
fruit, yet they tend to propagate and
feed q sentiment that:.may be almost
imperceptibls in any community,
that will rise to a degree of strength
and become an octopus in good gov
ernment, therefore every community
located in a district like Worthington
should, with. the able orators we
have, surrounded by the old soldiers
of 81, and the young men who spent
nine months in camp awaiting or
ders to move to the front, to some
degree make demonstration of the
patriotic feeling they have, by hav-
ing \ public gathering.
Further, this county is now repre-
sen ted in the territory over which
the government is anxiously endeav.
oring to uplift, by boys at tho front,
and to apply epithets to them shat
have been uttered is a indignation
of their noble characters and the on
~ way to refute these attacks and
convince the boys that they were in
the right and their government has
not cast shadow of reflection upon
them, but is the same old gloroius
of yore and never caused
a stain to be placed upon tho flag of
freedom and humanity.
Those mentioning the matter
thought it best, if such a meeting 10
held, to hold it before decoration
day and in the event it would be nee
cessary to at once take action.

High School Notes.
Harley CHATTER is on the sick list.
Fred Trip is with US again.
Clark Pannell, Chalky Beeson and
John Glasgow were absent Monday
afternoon.
Cora Dow was absent last Friday.
The air of the school room has
been redolent with plum blossoms
this week.
Perhaps it is not universally known
just what the benefits of geometry
and botany arc; but it is certain that
whether it be Latin or mathematics,
for some reason there is a strong ten
dency toward the poeticin our school.
Imagine how proud of their poet the
sophomore class was on reading the
following:-!!!
Let England boast of Browning;
Let Rome her Vergil praise;
But our high school may we'll be
proud,
And shout the praises, long and loud,
Of Ager and his lays.
What deep and tender feeling
Pervades his postry!
His very soul is in his song;
Which, low and soothing, flows along;
Or swells with ecstacy.
Sometimes with deepest pathos,
His poems touch the heart.
Sometimes with boundless, wild de-
light,
They bring before our minds a sight,
So vivid that we start. -.

TO ATTRACT PURCHASERS
Business Benefited BY Offering
Special Inducements to the
4%e Country People.

The city of St. Peter designatee
one day Of the week to be known ae
Farmers Day" and finds it sue.
cess, bringing the merchants boun.
tiful returns for their labor. The
following extract from an article in
the St. Peter Free Press describing
the success of the arrangement: 4
':The movement inaugurated by
the board of trade, designated,
Farmers day" and in which
our merchants and citizens generally
as we'll as our rural neighbors were
greatly interested and benefited,
turned out to be grand SUCCESS
in fact the most sanguine of it's pro-
moters had hardly anticipated the
immense crowds of people that
thronged the streets and stores and
took advantage of the many splen-
did bargains offered them in this
city last Saturday. It was the iui-
tial celebration of day that will
probably become permanent FIX
ture at regular intervals hereafter.
Business places and houses were
decorated with profusion of flags
and the national colors were in evi-
dence everywhere. The St. Peter
cornet band enlivened the occasion
by discoursing choice music on the
streets throughout the day and was
a pleasing feature of the occasion.
To say that "Farmer's Day was
grand success is putting it rather
mild, it was even more than that, and
the board of trade and committees
in charge are to be congratulated
upon the splendid showing made
through their untiring efforts. Buy.
ers were delighted with the splendid
bargains which our merchants offer
ed, many of which were below actual
cost, and purchased literally. Mer-
chants were pleased with the throng
of customers and did their utmost to
satisfy their wants. Preparations
have already been started for the
next Farmers Day" the program of
which will be on more elaborate
scale, and ample accommodations
and entertainment will be provided
for all visitors.
Prizes were given for the biggest
load Of wheat oldest lady settler.
largest purchase ($177 .5V prize $500,
oldest married couple, largest family,
most butter, youngest married cou.
pie, longest distance travelled, prize
$500, most eggs and the best coop of
poultry.
An arrangement of this kind in
Worthington would without doubt
prove very successful. Worthington
now is the best trading point in the
county and to adopt some such plan
would not only advertise this fact
throughout the entire county but ad-
joining counties, aud double the bus
mess now done here. A project ,xof
this kind is worthy Of consideration.
