"Harlem Coffee Cooler" Conf
dent OF Beating Ryan.
Fight Tonight Before the COney
Island Club.
CRAIG is A FIGHTER.
Has Knocked Out All the Heavy
English Pugilists.
Has Aspirations to Become the
Worlds Champion.

New York, Sept. 1s.-Pusilism has
never known a more unique and pic
turesque exponent than Frank Craig,
the American negro called the Harlem
coffee cooler" who has been brought
back from England, the scene of his
great achievements, to meet no less a
celebrity that Tommy Ryan, the SYRIA
cuse middle weight. before the Coney
Island Sporting club Monday night The
cooler would inspire mirtn because of
his English Alterations were it not that
he has so signally distinguished himself
by his prOwess and skill abroad.
He had done nothing to entitle him to
serious consideration until he went to
England and began knocking out the
heavy weights, one after another AZ
ter he had disposed of Jem Smith, Ted
Pritchard, Frank Slavin, Dick Burge.
Jerry DriscOll and all the rest of them
the frst-named being knocked out in
one round and Pritchard in two, it sud
denly dawned upon our local sports
that the cooler was a fighter, and
there is naturally great curiosity to
note his almost phenomenal improve
ment in form.
Ryan, the developer of Jeffries' per-
feet style and himself a past master in
boxing science. and a man who is al
ways in condition, would seem to be an
unenviable opponent, but the cooler"
is absolutely serene in the belief that
he will whip him. His confidence is
enormous and as he is a very big and
powerful six-foOter and a cyclonic
fighter, the result may astonish Ryan
and the knowing ones After he had
vanduished all the heavy weights in
England and had knocked out in four
rounds the English gentleman anna
teur boxer, a young barriSter of diStinc-
ton, whom he met in private, the
cooler" became a music hall star, trav-
cling all over Europe with band of
pickaninnies.

hdence amounts to absolute certainty,

JEWELL COUNTY LEADS.
Breaks All Kansas Records on Crops
and Poultry.

Atchison, Sept. 1S.-There is no cour-
ty in the United States of equal area
and population that produces annually
as much food for man and beast as
Jewell county. Moreover, no other spot
on earth can make such a showing.
The county, located $50 miles west of
the Missouri river, is thirty miles
square and contains $4,000 acres. Prior
to 1862 it did not have a white settler.
1t was not organized until 1870. In
1896 Jewell county broke all corn rec
ords, producing 10,71O,741 bushels. In
1897 it produced over 1900, 600 bushels,
again breaking the worlds record. This
year Jewell county's corn crop will ag-
gregate IA, 100000 bushels. an amount
almost as large as the total crop of the
great state of New York, more than
that of New Jersey and far more than
that Of all the six New England states
combined.
For the year ended March I. 1899, the
value Of animals sold for slaughter by
Jewell county reached the enormous
sum of 81, $50, 097, and the value of its
poultry and eggs marketed aggregated
$112, 020.
Jewell county is also rich in hogs,
sheep and horses, and it's crop of wheat
oats, hay and potatoes and its yield of
fruits and vegetables are simply mar
Velous.

DIVORCE MILL.
Seventeen Couples Secured Judicial
Separation the Past Week.

The past week has been divorce week
in the district court, and seventeen
couples have been separated by the di-
vorce mill. Twelve other divorce cases
have been disposed of in one way or an
other.
Mrs. Katherine Van Valkenburg was
granted a divorce from her husband,
F. c. Van Valkenburg, on the ground
of desertion. Mrs Van Valkenburg was
formerly Miss Kittie Lindsey, and is
the daughter of Colonel H. c. Lindsey.
They moved to Nebraska, and while
there Mr.. Van Valkenburg disappeared
and his wife came back to Topeka A
few weeks ago Mr. Van Valkenburg
came to Topeka and his wife applied
for a divorce. He did not fight the
case.
Frank N Whiteker who drives fruit
wagon around Topeka, was granted a
divorce from Elizabeth J. Whiteker.
Mrs. Whiteker is the woman who de-
serted her husband during the fall fes-
tival of 1897, and was married to John
c. Van Hasse1. of Americas, Lyon
county. After living with Van Hassel
for several months she got tired of him
and came back to Mr.. Whiteker in To-
peka, making him believe that she had
been working for some family Mr.
Whiteker forgave her and took her
back and did not know that she had
been living with Van Hassel for some
time afterwards.
In about two weeks after her return
to Topeka she began to pine for Van
HaSSel again, and soon afterwards
went back to him. When Mr.. Whitezer
learned that his wife had been living
with Van Hassel he began suit against
the Americas man for alternating his
wife'S affections, but that suit has since
been dropped, and Mr.. Whiteker ap-
piled for a divorce instead

Hart, of the Chicago club, and the
managers of the Pittsburg, Brooklyn
and Boston teams are bidding for the
services Of Harvey, the great left-hand
pitcher of the Sacramento club, Of the
California league.
Harvey pitched his club into the
championship last year. He is not only
very effective as a twirler, but is an
effective aIl-rOund player and one Of
the hardest hitters in the California
league. He could have played with q
big league club this year, but preferred
to remain in California rather than
play his first eastern season with a
losing club. Harvey looks like a surly
Swede. His hair is red and his face
so sour that to look in a pan of milk
would curdle it. But he is gentlemanly
and quiet on the diamond. and a great
favorite in the California league. Har-
riS, the manager of the San Francisco

BRINGS THEM TO TINE.
How the Republican FIambeau Club
Captured an Ofaceholder


The Republican Flambeau club has
discovered a new way to acquire mem
bers. Several weeks ago it started a
fight against F. B. Roper, who is en-
ployed at the state house as an cleo
trician- Roper used to be a POpulist
and held a position out at the reform
school, but for some reason or other he
got let out just at the beginning of the
last campaign About that time the
Leedy administration bought an cleo
trio light plant for the state house and
Roper got the job of putting it in, and
he finally became established as cleo
trician, which job he has held ever
since
The fambeau club does not believe in
letting POpuIist keep an office when
a Republican can draw the salary just
as well, so it built a fire under the
state administration and demanded
Ropers removal. Roper went to Secre-
Tary Swayze and explained that he is
now Republican, but that did not
work At the last meeting of the club
Roper appeared, swore allegiance to
the Republican party. and applied for
admission to membership in the club.
