Giant In Fifth Round.
San Francisco, Nov. 16.-In one of
the most unsatisfactory prize fights
ever witnessed in this country, James
j. Jeffries proved the victor last
night over Gus Rubin, the Akron
giant. In the fifth round of what
was to have been a twenty-round
struggle, Rubin wilted and then sur
rendered to his peer, to the utter
amazement and disgust of the assem-
bled thousands. No M was more
surprised at the outcome than JEFF
fries himself, who asserted that while
he had delivered one telling blow
in the second round. he did not eN-
pect to win the victory SO easily.
Ruhlin's sole explanation of the out
come of the fight is that he received
a chance blow which utterly dis
abled him, and that Jeffries per-
sisted in fighting him low.
While Rubin will make no abso-
lutte charge of Jeffries having COM
mitted a foul. he intimates that he
was unfairly handled and injured as
u result. Rubin received the sup
port of his seconds in this stand, who
say that his vas a hopeless case after

these blocll-houses hamper commune

BOARD OF CONTROL NEEDS.
Legislature to Be Asked for Appro.
priation of SS4S 1877.

Des Moines, Nov. l6.-The second
biennial report of the state board OF
control has oeen placed in the hands
of Governor Shaw. The report will
not make as large a volume as the
first one issued, but when printed,
will contain over 900 pages. Probably
the portion of greatest interest is the
chapter devoted to appropriations to
be asked of the legislature for the
next biennial period. The full amount
asked for is $685. 81 so, apportioned
among the different institutions as
follows:
Soldiers Home, Marshalltown,
SIS, 100.
Soldiers Orphans Home, Daven-
port, $4u,750.
College for the Blind, Ninton, SO, ZOO.
School or the Deaf, Council Bluffs.
$4,000.
Home for Feeble Minded Children,
Glenwood, $1O9,O75.
hospital for Insane, Independence,
$4,000.
Hospital for Insane, Clarinda, $69,-
500.
Hospital for Insane, Mt. Pleasant.
S1o5, $50.
Hospital for Insane, Cherokee, $780,
600.
Industrial School for Boys, Eldora,
$47,45O.
Industrial School for Girls, Mitch
%ellville, S33. 100.
Industrial School fer Blind, Knox
vile, $4,000.
Penitentiary, Ft. Madison, $s5,T5O.
Penitentiary, Anamosa, S3O,452. so. \
Many appropriations asked for the
different institutions are for lew
buildings and in each case the gross
mount is named, embracing the cost
OF furnishings and for carrying heat,
light. water and sewage through the
building.
The a explains a manner in
which it would be possible to reduce
the amount of appropriations needed
as follows: Hospital at Clarinda,
$4,000; Industrial Home for Blind,
$4,000; pen%itentiary at TT. Madison,
$4,000: which, deducted from the to-
tai sum asked, leaves $S17,127.5O.
The entire appropriation asked for
in the biennial report two years ago
was $917.943.93. Deducting the amount
needed for the next two years, last
named. would leave s1oo,s47.43 less
than the amount asked for the same
purposes two years ago. Of the APP
preparation requested, S145, goo is for
the purchase of new lands.
The board presents two plans for
apportioning the revenue for support
of the institutions. The first plan is
to make all inmates of the institu-
tons wards of the state and provide
for their support, transportation,
clothing and all expenses of care of
every description. including cost of
o~utbuildings, repairs and betterments
out of a general tax to be levied
for such purposes, giving the board
power to apportion the same as may
be deemed necessary for the use of
the several institutions.
If the first plan is not acceptable,
then it is proposed to provide a per
capita appropriation for all the insti-
tutions sufficient to cover all eX-
penses, including support, contingent
and repair, clothing and ~transporta,
ton and outbuildings.

tory. Under existing laws articles
subject to internal revenue tax at
home are relieved from the tax when
exported to a foreign country, the
exporter giving bond when the goods
r withdrawn, which is cancelled
when satisfactory proof is furnished
that they actually have been landed
in foreign territory. Under Il ruling
made some weeks ago by the com
missioner the Philippines have been
regarded for purposes of internal
revenue taxation, as foreign terri.
tory, but heretofore the whisky, beer,
cigars, etc, which have been shipped
to the islands have been exempted
from taxation. Under the present
ruling the tax in all cases will be
eXacted before shipment. 1t is ex-
pected that exporters will pay the
tax under protest, having in mind the

pending in the United States supreme
court, in which a decision is expect

The St. Paul Pioneer Press
tried to have some fun at the ex-
pense of Congressman Morris in
q recent issue by cartooning him
in connection with an announce
ment of his opposition to the land
grab for park purposes. The
Press repeats the off refuted
assertion that the land is not are
able and only fit for park purposes
lnasmuch as there are millions of
poor people who would be plea ed
to take up this land which has
been proven exceptionally good
for agricultural pursuits and stock
raising who are putting their
voices against the establishment of
a park to benefit only a few
millionaires who wish to haye the
same set out for their especial
sport and amusement, we think
Congressman Morris is furthering
the interests of his constituents
and the district he is elected to re-
present. If the people of the
Sixth District in which the pro
posed park is located wished the
same, we are certain they would
have voiced their sentiments to
Congressman Morris long ago.
What business has the millionaire
Of Chicago or the Twin Cities
debating the policy of the Sixth
district anyway? Throw the land
open for settlement and give the
POOR man a show.
