Mccoy will reach Corbett often with
a straight left and defeat him inside
of eight rounds"
Many well known experts pick Cor
bett as the winner. They do so on the
ground that the former champion is a
bit more clever than Mccoy and bet
ter ring general. They say that In
none of his fights has Corbett ever
been confused. while third-raters have
been known to upset Mccoy at times.
McCormick's defeat of the Hoosier in
Chicago is pointed out as an instance.
PICKS CORBETT.
Among those who fancy Corbetts
chances is Bob" Fitzsimmons. AL
though he does not have a friendly
feeling toward Corbett he declares that
his Judgment forces him to the conclu'
sion that Corbett is the superior fight
er and will surely defeat Mccoy. He
saws that the former champion is too
big, strong, and clever for Mccoy and
That Mccoy will be a convert to those
views of the situation before the bat
tie has proceeded very far. Fitz de-
elares that there is nothing in theory
that Corbett cannot punch. He in
sists that the man from whom he won
the championship can hit hard enough
for all practical purposes.
"He hit me good and hard Mt Carson
City" declared Fitz, land, though the
blows may have appeared mild and
harmless to the ringside observer, they
hurt nevertheless. Mccoy may be able
TO strike n bit harder blow, but Corbett
more than offsets this quality by his
generalship and all around cleverness'
Corbett has improved wonderfully
since his fight with me at Carson City.
His % round battle with Jeffries was
n performance calculated to place him
in the very front rank of pugilists and
make his opponent fearful of the re-
suit of an exchange of blows with
him"

camp. Pleasant breezes famed the
throng of people and made things en-.
joyable physically, while heavenly
gales swept over the souls of the wor-
shippers. All the services of the day
were seasons of great grace to the
earnest followers of Christ. 1t is in
deed an inspiring sight to see from
one to two hundred at the early morn
ing service. Rev. FL. A. Hensel dis
pensed the word in the forenoon to
the delight and satisfaction of his
hearers. In the afternoon Rev. w. S.
Harpster had charge of the "Temper-

The principal address was delivered
by Rev. P. A. Baker, of Columbus.
He is an eloquent and fo1es&pl speaker,

The politicians who are in league
with the liquor element, not only hate
but fear him. In the evening Rev.

DATE OF FUNERAL NOT FIXED. :
No definite arrangements have been
made for the funeral. Nothing Is de-
cisive at this time except that the re-
mains will be inferred in this city TeIe-
grams have been sent to relatives and
friends and to colleagues at Washing
ton who will doubtless be in st. Paul in
time to attend the obsequies. 1t is prob
able that these will be held either Friday
or Saturday. 1t is expected that besides
Judge Iripp, of South Dakota brother
in-law of the deceased, who was minis
ter to Austria under President Cleveland,
and Mr.. Morford, also a brother-in-law
of Chicago, there will several senators
and other statesmen from Washington
arrive for the funeral. All arrangements
will therefore be left until some definite
information Is received from them.
The religious character of the serv-
ices has not yet even been determined.
HE WAS MODERATELY WEALTHY.
Senator Davis died the possessor of
moderate wealth, leaving his wife in very
comfortable circumstances. They had no
children to share the bereavement which
falls so heavily upon his wife and aged
parents.

the next morning, and a lengthy confer

i: was announced that a1nputation Of the
diseased foot was unnecessary. The
next day saw the senator in better spir-

The Improvement was short-lived for

most surprising rally in the history of
his illness. The senator's strength in

were not so marked, and even the de-
l1r1um gave place to long intervals of
calm, during which the patient was able
to enjoy a few cigars and hopefully pre-
dict that he was not going to succunib.
thursday, however, saw still another
turn, and another relapse was reported
His strength seemed TO diminish as
quickly as it had gained a few days pre-

Hrlum was reported to be acute. Satur-

issued at midnight mentioned no special
change in hisScendition, except that mis-
pulse was huetuating between 120 and 130.
On waking Sunday morning the sena-
tors condition was slightly hopeful,
though his pulse was high. Monday
morning there was but little perceptible
change, except that he was slightly
weaker. From that time his condition
became gradually more critical, until the
end was seen to be but few hours iIs-
tant Tuesday morning, when his temper
ature ran up to 104 2-5. During the day
he lay in a stupor of Inconsistencies,
and expired without the least rallying

SENATOR DAVIS, SICKNESS.
MaIady Had Simple Beginning
Back in August.

The deceased statesman's malady had
g simple beginning. In August while
engaged in touring some of the East
ern states, he sustained a slight abra-
sion of the foot, due, it is believed to
the friction of a black silk stocking
against the skin. At first little or no
trouble was experienced, and the foot,
though painful, did not sufficiently in
convenience the senator to warrant, in
his opinion, medical attendance
Gradually. however, the swelling be-
came worse, and in the second week in
September the senator became slightly
alarmed He was not, though, suff1-
ciently ncapacitated to prevent his ap-
pearance at Fergus Falls. Sept. % The
speech he delivered there that evening
was the last he was ever destined to
make from a public platform.
Fearful lest further neglect should so
aggravate the disease as to prevent fur
ther participation in the campaign the
senator took to his bed, hoping to be
about again in week. or two at the lat
est. This. hope was never realized, for
he never left his house again
Symptoms of blood poisoning commenc-
ed to appear, and, in spite of the most
careful medical attention. an operation
was soon necessary Oct "a Drs. Stone.
Lancaster and Rothrock performed the
first operation. Considerable suppurated
matter was drawn off, and it was gen
orally thought that the progress of the
disease had been effectually arrested.
Conscious that even under the most fa-
vorable circumstances his foot would be
very sore for long time, Senator Da-
Wis jokingly declared on Oct 81 that he
would not be cheated out of his vote
If he had to be carried to the polls on a
litter
1t was not more than two days later
before he knew that even this would be
impossible, and Oct. "a, the second opera

lief followed, and his condition remained
about the same until the first few davs
