DOG Rites Inns HAND.

pion Jim Jeffries has been a guest at
the Bleak house here for several weeks
He goes in bathing every forenoon, and
today while in the surf at the foot OF
South Carolina avenue he began play
ing with bull pup
The dog turned on Jeffries and jump
ing at him caught hold of his left hand,
decorating it with his teeth. Although
somewhat painful, the wound is not
considered dangerous and JefrieS makes
light of the wound.
The champion says: Although my
arm is not in as good shape as l would
like it to be at this stage of the game,
I think it will come around in time to
permit me to fight the winner of the
F'itzsimmons-Shar bout on August
25 But for my unfortunate injury,
which has caused me much trouble and
incidentally has cost me considerable
money, would have arranged match
with Rubin Immediately after his vic
tory over Sharkey.
1t is not because I am afraid that I
hesitate; it is because I do not think
a one-handed fighter can do himself
justice, whether he be a champion or
not.
If Rubin bests Fitzsimmons, he will
be my first opponent. When I meet
Rubin or any other fighter, I want to
be right, so if am defeated Will have
no excuse to offer.
have been taking the best possible
care of myself since my battle with
Corbett, and if my arm yields to its
present treatment, anu LHlnh II WILL
will surely fight before September l.
Today 1 will remove the steel frame
from my arm for good and will go to
Mount Clemens to begin preparatory
training My arm feels much stronger
now than for some time past, and with
proper care, 1 think it will not cause
nc any further trouble. intend to do
some sparring at Mount Clemens to
try my arm out, and unless it goes
back on me, will on August 1 issue a

The romance will probably end abrupt
ly, as it threatened to end soon after it
commenced, in district court this fall.
Lizzie Hay was scarcely Is years of
age at the time of her marriage to Dun
bar. She was reprimanded by her moth
er one evening and that night she disap-
peared. Dunbar left Norwood at the
same time. A few days afterward the
couple came home on foot, claiming to
have been married in Kansas City and
to have collided with a street car, in
which accident their buggy was Destroy
ed and their marriage certificate lost
Their story was not credited. The girl
went to live at her home. but within
short time the two disappeared again.
This time they were absent for several
weeks and when they returned tattered
and travel-stained, they told of trip 20
St Louis and a walk home They were
married over again in st. Louis accord
ing to their STORY.
In the fall term of court two years
ago, Mrs. Dunbar's father brought a d.
vorce suit for her. The case was con-
tfnued until January, and before it came
to hearing. the couple had apparently
settled their differences, for the case was
dismissed.

If he fights before September 1 he

removal of the splint. Ever since his

carried the arm in plaster of paris

of a little tincture or nature and eS-

does not seem to have used"

The Kaw Valley Potato Crops /
Enormous This Year.
A Conservative Estimate Places
1t at 1000 Carloads.
PRICES ARE VERY LOW.
Tubers 81 Cents at Chicago
With 13 Off for Freight.
Each Acre Will Raise From $50
to 800 Bushels.

Lawrence, July 26-The potato crop in
the Kaw valley will exceed all expecta-
tions this year. The, crop which is now
being harvested is turning out nearly 80
bushels an acre more than it was ex-
pected it would before the potatoes were
dug. The crop in the valley between
Lawrence and. Kansas City is estimated
will reach four thousand carloads.
1t is generally believed that the crop
will average from ESQ to 275 bushels to
the acre. This is an enormous crop when
it is known that the crop does not US
ually average over 200 bushels to the
acre In fact 200 bushels is considered
q good crop.
Just now the harvesting of the pota-
toes has received a bad check because
of the fall in the price of the tubers.
The price quoted by Chicago on carload
lots last week was 81 cents per bushel
As the shipper would have to pay the
freight to Chicago and that is 10 cents
buShel, his potatoes would net him but
Is cents a bushel This is a low price
for potatoes but even at that figure the
producer will not lose any money. A lit
tie figuring will show that at IS cents
buShel and with $50 bushels to the acre
the land would bring the farmer the sum
of $45 an acre which is much more than
corn or wheat would net him.
Joseph Bleakley says that the whole of
the valley practically from Lawrence to
raising of potatoes. There is probably
no larger potato region in the world"
said BIeakley, land certainly the raisers
of the potato in the valley never had a
better year than this for a crop It's
too bad the price is not as high as it has
been. Many of the farmers are not dig
ging their potatoes but are allowing
them to remain in the ground It's all
light to let them remain in the ground
for month yet if it does not get too
wet, but if there is too much rain they
will sprout,
Heretofore there has been splendid
market for the potato growers in the
north. Our early potatoes were shipped
into St. Paul and Minneapolis and the
northwest before they have any In the
fall they ship their potatoes this way.
This year the demand for potatoes in
the north has not been SO great and a
large amount of them have been shipped
to Chicago. The growers are now en-
deavoring to get market in the south
by way of Port Arthur"

CRACK LIGHT WEIGHTS.
Will Meet in the Ring at Madison
Square Garden.

New York, July 26-The coming fight
between George McFadden and Jack
O'Brien, which is to be decided before
the Twentieth Century Athletic club at
Madison Square Garden next Monday,
is one of the most interesting matches
which could have been made at the
present time.
Both men are in line for the light
weight championship. and as Frank
Erne. the champion, has decided to
leave the ring and abandon the cham
pionship, this fight will probably show
who is to be his successor.
The conditions of the match call for
a 25-round bout at the lightweight
limit, 1873 pounds, and each man has
posted forfeit to guarantee weight
and appearance.
The men are now training at their
quarters, and judging from the work
which they get through daily, they will
both be in AL condition when they enter
the ring.

STRUCK THREE TIMES.
Santa Fe Depot at Cherryvale Hit
Thrice by lightning.

Cherryvale, July 26.-The notion that
lightning never strikes twice in the
same place got a rude jolt Monday night
when the Santa F'e depot at Cherryvale
was struck three times in succession.
The night operator was asleep when
the first stroke extinguished all the
lights and awakened him with a start.
Finding himself in pitchy darkness his
first thought was that he had been
struck blind and he was really pleased
a few minutes later to find that the
building was on fire. The fire was easily
put out and the building was not very
seriously damaged, but all of the CHM
neys were knocked off and several large
holes made in it.
