it. This is progressive age and the

DIR. Larson has been sick for the
last three or four days and we are I'M
able to say at this writing just what
has caused it. He might have taken
dose of DIR. Fenner'S- Capitol BitterS
or he might have got sick from some
ordinary cause. However, he is not
qnarantined at the present time.
A wholesale boot and shoe firm is
negotiating with Mr.. Breton of this
place to allow them to put in one of
the most complete lines of shoes in
Phillips county to be run on strictly
cash terms. We predict paying bus
mess for them as this place has always
been cursed with cheap, Shoddy foot
wear as far as our experience has been
in purchasing and trying to wear
some of it.
The C. G.. Co. has got the Swimming
station at this place On paying basis
and are doing q profitable business.
Mr.. Brunnemer is ruStler for milk
and produce; pays the highest market
price for butter and eggs, cash down

what suits our people, Judging from
the way they take him their produce.

Kansas City Kansas elected demo

Kansas City Kansas elected demo
cratic mayor on a public ownership
platform last Tuesday. Thursday
afternoon the old council and mayor,
who are republicans, met and attemted
to pass an ordinance granting valuable
franchises to the Metropolitan Electric
Railway Co. When the people heard
of it they called mass meeting, and
200 determined men with an ample
supply of rope marched to the council
meeting and put stop to the pro-
ceedings. The council then passed a
resolution agreeing to leave the fran
chise question to be settled by the
new council. For once the people were
determined to be obeyed.

The republican editors don't seem
to know it, but every time they an
nounce that Mr.. Bryan'S paper, the
Commoner, is a fat failure, four or
five of their good republican readers
subscribe for it, on purpose to show
their populist and democratic friends
how fiat it is. When they read it they
find their dear republican oracle has
simply lied, but the circulation of the
Commoner has been increased just the
Slme.

MGovERN AND LAyIGNE.

Sam Harris is prepared to match Terry McGOvern against Kid Lavigne at 12S pounds, ringside, and bet $5.000 on the side. When George Considine learned of this he said he would take the Layigne end of the bet. The only provision Harris maKes is that Me Govern must be successful i'll his match with Dave Sullivan. Harris seems to think that the talk about matching Layigne against McGOvern is merely done for the purpose of Keeping the Brooklynite away from Young Corbett. but in spite of this is willing to have McGovern fight La yIgne at 12S pounds, ringside; but he will not make the match at 12S pounds weighing in at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. 'McGovern never refused a match to any fighter that put up a forfeit said Harris. He has fought out of his regular class oftener than any man in the business. and if there are any anxious young men who can weigh in at 122 pounds at 3 o'clock in the afternoon who will challenge him we will make match With them as fast as they turn up. Either McGOv- ern or myself. or both of us. have been at the place agreed upon whenever an engagement had been made Dy either of us to make arrangements for q match All forfeits have been covered and we shall keep on treating every one the same way. What We want now more than anything else is. of course, a return match with Young COrbett, but judging from the inter views published in the western papers with his manager, our cI1ances are very slim for a long time to come

M'FARLAND SCORES KRAMER
Californian Says Champion r-d Not
 Accept Offer to Ride.

Accept Offer to Ride.
 Frank Kramer will not have Floyd Mcfarland as a team mate in his search for the title of N. c. A. pro- lfessional sprinting champion i'll 1902. Mcfarland alleges that he contributed toI large extent, last summer to hra- mer's success ill winning the chain pionship of 1901.
 He is q fine champion,H said Me Farland. He would not go to France for fear that he would be beaten. During the six day race at Madison Square garden he would not ride q match race against Freeman.
 T am through with him and will bet $500 that he will not win the sprinting championship next year. l do not think that he would have won it this year if had not been pushing him along He will have chance next year to show what he can do by nimself, and you will see that I will be $500 ahead if there is anyone to cover my bet"
 No follower of cycle racing doubts the ability of tie Californian. and say that if he would confine his racing to sprinting only he has an excellent chance to win the championship At Providence on July 10,, in the semi final of the championship he beat Kramer out at the tape without trou- ble after the Jerseyite had had the pole for the last few laps of the race.

AT MALLINGFORD.

Wallingford, Dec 233.-The frequent expression concerning the Saturday night polo games here is that they were the best ever seen" The ex- pression has lost ] good deal of it's force owing to it's frequent use, but i'll saying that the game here Saturday might was the limit in science and eleverness, it is saying only what the game was entitled to. Such passing, defense work and general all-round play has never been equaled in the To- cal rink. and the fact that the locals were able to win out notwithstanding the serious handicap they suffered on account of the absence of Lations, makes the old town still prouder of it's team. The score:

 The first compilation of the records of the National league polo players for the season. of 19O1-2 has been prepared by Secretary Rieger and is as follows: The figures show that Frank Warner leads the rushers in the honor of win ming the greatest number of rushes, with Tarrant of Waterbury a good sec ond. Mooney holds third place i'll the record, and will undoubtedly overcome the lead in part that Warner has se- cured before the season grows much older. Bone makes a very creditable showing considering that he is playing second rush. Tn goals Bone has far and away the finest record of the play. CTS. with 90 shots to his credit. His nearest competitor is Tarrant with 54. while Dawson stands third with 40. In fouls Kid Conway and Menard, both of the Waterbury team, are fled, leading the league. As was to be ex- pected Count Lations leads the league ill defense of the goal. Cusick of Mer- iden is second. Berry of the New Ha- yens, though fifth i'll the list has played more games than Sutton or Chatfield. and has been under the dis advantage of not having regular halfback to play the position through out the season. His record is extreme ly good under the circumstances The figures are as follows:

CUFFS AND THE BOXING LESSON
Walter Camp, Yale Adviser. Thinks It
 Time Question Was Dronnad

Time Question Was Dropped.
 New Haven. Dec 23.-W'alter Camp. Yale's. athletic adviser, yesterday. in discussing the revival of the Cutts case, said the matter ought to be dropped, and appeared to be much chagrined that the question of Cutts's eligibility to play on the Harvard foot ball team should be revived at this late day. What brings the Cutfs case to the front now is an alleged re- ceipt signed by Cutts, showing that he had received money by giving boxing lessons to a young man named Fisher while an instructor at Haverford. A Yale man said yesterday that he had heard there is such a receipt. but he believed the matter ought to be drop- ped to avoid unnecessary unpleasant- ness. It is reported here that the re- ceipt came into the possession of some Yale men after the Harvard Yale game and was mailed to the Harvard ath- letic committee without comment. There is some talk of another matter that concerns Harvard athletics and has reference to Herman, the new foot ball captain. here is q report here that Herman did not pass his examina- tions in June and September of last year. No Yale official is willing to father the report If such condi- ton prevails there would be objection raised to Herman participating in the next intercollegiate meet. As all the Yale athletic officials. are out of town on their holiday vacation this report could not be verified

Out Lon Myers.
 John Fraser. one of the first cap tains of the Manhattan Athletic club, died on Friday at his home, No 31G West Thirty street, New York, of complication of troubles. AIl Fraser was about sixty-two years old, and probably the best known coach ill America during the years he gave ath- letics attention. Among the numer- ous amateur champions who gained prestige under his direction was the World-renowned ''Lon'' Myers the greatest middle distance runner the world ever saw. a
 Mir Fraser was a clever athlete ill his day and gave his services for the pure love of sport. He was a member of several Scotch organizations, chief among which was the New York Cal edonian club, in which he held office many years. He was also member of the Masonic order. The funeral will take place from his late residence this afternoon.

United States hints turned out coins to the amount of $S.160. .4O1 in Septem- Der, as against $6,44o,938 in the same month of 1900.

of Cunningham. The latter might have turned out to be something of player under the tuition of such generals as Canavan and Bone. but ill the company of the players of the Brockton team he remains second rater.
 As to the continuance of this league, the signs at present are decidedly III favor of carrying it along 10 the end of the season as originally planned. There are no big attendances, it is true, but the expenses are so small that the clubs can run along with 400 to GOO houses and still show q profit. Waterbury seems to be the poorest paying town, but that is owing i'll q large degree to the high price that has to be paid for the use of the rink. Manager Harrington took a trip to Torrington the other day and made partial arrangements to secure the use of the opera house floor for polo after the first of the year. This action, It is said. has awakened the sports in Winsted and they are now anxious to put their town on the circuit. With these two towns in the game would be certain to go through to the end of March. The old rivalry between the towns would be re-awakened and the hottest kind of sport would result New Haven Register.
