ZION'S ELDERS

And Mansfield Doesn't Know
Herself, She's So Quiet.
MAYOR ORDERED THEM TO GO.
At First the Four Devoted Dowieites Re-
fused to Leave the Town, But the
Police Were Firm--win They
Come Back?

Mansfield, August Mansfield is
peaceful again. "Zion's" representa-
tives have departed and the "mobs"
have nothing to do.
The four elders" Fisher, McClurlsln,
Stevens and M. Farlane--two of them
painted, two unpainted-after being
confined in the city Jail over night were
driven In cabs to the Pennsylv aria

At first the four devoted Dowieites
refused to leave the city. They SAID
they would not go except by force At
noon the mayor again ordered the
elders to leave. Cabs were brought to
the Jail and the elders taken to the
depot, accompanied by a squad Of
police. At the depot fully 1000 persons,
mostly shop men, awaited their arrival.
and had it not been for the cool heads
of few, mob law might again have
ruled. The elders were put on the train
and safely started toward Chicago.
During the afternoon Mayor Brown re-
ceived the following telegram from

A message from Columbus states that

The friends of any aspirant
for State Office: shave no reason
to be "chagrined and highly in
censed" because Senator w. S.
| McClintic has formally announ-
ced as a candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor. For more than
a year the people of the state
have been of the opinion that
Senator McClintic would be 4
candidate for that important
position ann all, except some
other candidates aud their
friends, have been pleased, be-
cause in Senator McClintic they
recognize the man whom they
desire to fill that position.
That he is fully qualified noue
can deny; he is as true a Demo
crat as is any man in America;
by his hard faithful work in the
interest of the people he has
earned the appreciation of his
constituents and the Democracy
af Missouri who say well done
good and faithful servant step
up higher" Some one must
have dreamed that Senator Nc
Clintic would not be Candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor,
because he has never intimated
that he would not be. He Ias
the endorsement of the people,
many lea ding newspapers and
politicians and has visited vari-
GUS parts of the state, conse-
quently the friends of other cah-
didates cannot charge him with
jumping into the race to defeat
anyone. Senator MCClintic by
his service for the party has as
much right to make the race as
has any other man. Senator
MCClintic's chauces for securing
the nomination are good, so say
people from all parts of Nilsson
ri. Senator McCliutic is
practical farmer and his entire
interests are in and living come
out of the farm.

Judge James B. Henderson has handed

George HI. Smith and others of Alexandria.
1t involved the title to certain property at
1akoma Park, this county. In a yolu-

been intended by Mr.. Smith and decreed
that the property be sold and the proceeds
distributed among the heirs at law.

sAENGERBUND WON TWO.
CAROLS BOWED Poorly and Took
Only One Game.

1t was the beginning Of the end Of the
bowling season last night, when the Saen-
gerbund and Carroll Institute fives met at
the Business Mems alleys for their last
contest together this season. The CAROLS
played in exceedingly poor manner, and
were not at all up to the good standard to
be expected Of them. They were defeated
In two games, winning the first by but five
pins, and as it is the pins that count in
this post-season series, the CAROLS were
hopelessly distanced at the end. They were
1873 pins behind at the close, and this would
seem to put them out of the race, for If
the Saengers can but maintain their work
of last evening and the Y. NJ. c. A. boys
play in the form which they should, the
CAROLS will not be able to make up tho
great loss of pins last night The games
were not particularly noteworthy, and no
brilliant work was done on either side
There was big delegation Of rooters for
both sides on hand, and the alleys were
well crowded with spectators throughout
the match. The scores follow:

REFEREE SELECTED.
Charley White VIII Handle the JEFF
frics-COrbett Fight.

fries-Corbett Fight.
Charley White will referee the Jeffries-
Corbett fight. This question was settled
definitely In New York yesterday afternoon
at W. A. Brady's office. both managers
agreeing on White Considine arrived In
that city from Lakewood and Immediately
went to Brady's office. Brady said that
acting under instructions from Jeffries Char
ley White must referee. The name of Sam
Austin was suggested by Considine, but
Brady objected, saying that while he was
not opposed to Austin, Jeffries was, and
would have no one but White. Considine
finally gave in to the demand of Brady, and
agreed on White.
With that matter disposed Of the two
managers got to work completing all mat
tiers relating to the fight. The wearing Of
bandages was then talked OF. and it was
agreed by both men that either fighter
could If he choose wear soft bandages on
the hands. Clinching will not be permitted.
and as soon as the fighters become entan-
gled in each others arms 1t Will be the
duty Of the referee to break the two men
away, If they do not do so when ordered.
After Brady had completed all negotia-
lions, he asserted that he was willing to
wager $15, 900 on Jeffries. He said that he
had $4,000 which he would bet that JEFF
fries would receive the decision, and s. 900
that the champion would win inside of if
teen rounds.
The betting on the outcome Of the fight
Is surprisingly small. The big bettors as
vet have not shown their hand, which is
something unusual. considering the fact
that the contestants are heavyweights. That
the attendance Will be large is evident,
Judging from the advance sale Of tickets.
But the enthusiasm SO manifest on former
encounters Of this kind is lacking. Very
few strangers are in New York. and the
followers of the game in that city. who are
usually very active on the result OF big
fights, have remained very quiet.
