Although seemingly in force sufficient
to do pretty much as he likes he has not

bout.
Three thousand people witnessed the

to six in favor of Parker and large
amout Of money was offered at these
odds. A considerable amount changed
hands.
The first round was rather tame, DAILY
putting his long left lightly to Parker's
face and neck and bringing the right over
the shoulder to a olineh.
He did not appear anxious to engage
the "Kid."
When seen after the fight Parker said
while he was sure of victory over DAILY
this time, he did not expect it would
come SO soon in the fight. He knew how

"The Truth About Nebraska.

This is the title of 24-page folder,
recently issued by the Burlington
route and containing, besides a brief
introduction, nine letters from resi-
dents of the state, setting forth their
experiences since they settled in
Nebraska
The letters make it clear that the
man who comes to Nebraska with few
hundred dollars, a good head and a
stout heart can, in the course of few
years, be independent of landlords,
rent day, and all the other miseries
which make life struggle for the ten
ant of an eastern farm. They demon
strate that the money he pays for the
rent of a farm anywhere east of the
Missouri river will buy a better farm
west of it. They show that Nebraska
is not simply corn state"-that in
Nebraska, the avenue to wealth is
through Gait e, wheat, and fruit as
we'll as through corn.
The folder is well printed, on good
paper in peculiarly easy-to-read type.

Reciprocity Negotiations With Germany
at o Standsti1l.
WASHINGTON, March 26. - Inquiry
here bears out the statement cred
tied to Ambassador White at Berlin
that nothing is now going on about the
German-American convention. The
truth is, as before intimated by the Of
ficials here, that all Of the negotiations
respecting reciprocity have come to an
absolute halt. 1t is felt to be idle to
waste time in negotiations on this SUBJ
ject until something is known as to the
temper of congress. The pending
French reciprocity treaty has been Sc
lected by the administration off,
Gals as a test. If this cannot secure
approval officials here feel that there
would be little use in pressing the treat
les already negotiated and no sense in
continuing the work of forging other
treaties.
This statement covered the proposed
German reciprocity treaty. The sug-
gestion of mixed combination to as
sist or to participate in negotiations is
minor detail.
