CLAIMS A RAW DEAL.
Eddie Gardner Intfmates That the
Referees Decision at MassillOn
Was Not on the Square.


Eddie Gardner Intimntes That the
Referees Decision at Massillon
Was Not on the Square.
Eddie Gardner returned home yes
terday morning from Massillon, Ohio,
where he lost twenty-round go with
Art Simms on a decision. The little
fellow looked none the worse for the
fray. In speaking about the fight he
said he had all the best of the going
up until the seventeenth round, when
he became tired out. 1t was only at
this time that Simms began to do any
leading whatsoever, and even then did
no damage. Gardner claims he won
the fight in the eighth round. He put
Simms to the boards with jab square
into the pit of the stomach. The ref
cree started to count him out. At the
count of three Simms seconds began
to claim foul Simms also claimed
foul, but the referee would not allow it
and told him to get up, ordering Gard
ner to his corner at the same time.
Simms laid on the floor until the bell,
fully thirty seconds. After getting the
extr. minute of rest he came on in the
ninth mparatively fresh. Even at
the end of the bout Gardner claims he
should have had the decision on points.
Gardeners friends went over to Mas
sillon with the expectation of getting
some ten-round money, but none was
in sight. Nor could they lay fifty
cent piece on the bouts going the
twenty rounds. The only money
Simms' hackers had out was that
Simms would get the decision. The
Wheeling sports did not wis., to take
chance on the referee and that gen.
tleman's final decision justified their
doubts.

An Excellent COMPUTATION.

The pleasant method and beneficial
etrects OF the we'll known remedy,
SYEUP OF FIGs. manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the LIQUID laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. Il
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive. cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling ono
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
LIVER and bowels, without weakening
or Irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to tho
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy arc obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, hy a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get It's beneficial
effects and TO avoid imitations, please

1t is generally known that the I'M
provement League has undertaken
the work of transforming the square
between the BGrhyte aud Brackett
blocks into a park, such as are becom-
ing conspicuous features of larger
cities within the last few years. A
considerable amount OF filling is
needed on these grounds to bring
them up to the proper grade. We
can use ashes for this purpose as well
as dirt. At our last league meeting
we decided to ask all the housewives
in the city, who are interested in this
work, 10 save their ashes, both wood
and coal and in the spring instead OF
having them carried TO some other
dumping place, send them down
there. Miss Alice Hardy has charge
OF this work and will direct where
they can be placed to the best advan-
tage. SECRETARY.

Weather conditions the past week
have been variable. The last of last
week very agreeable weather pre-
vailed-sunny, quiet, with the Their
nom ster IS to 20 above zero. Sleigh
ing was very good for the amount Of
snow on the track. The first Of the
week the wind blew with moderate
force from the south or southeast
bringing a thaw which practically dis
posed of the sleighing for heavy team
ing. Tuesday night at s o'clock the
wind shifted into the west and north
west and blew great guns all night
and all day yesterday. The thermom-
eter did not indicate excessive cold,
standing above zero several degrees
but the wind was exasperatingly sharp
and penetrating This morning
about 10 degrees below zero with but
little wind.

DR.. Toby, City Health Officer, sug-
gests that as there are cases of small
poX in the adjoining county the peo-
pie of this vicinity would be wise to
take the first opportunity to get vac
cinated. Vaccination is a very simple
inexpensive and, when performed
under the direction of careful ply
stefan, safe operation. Whatever
other people may think of vaccina-
tion as to whether it is a preventa-
tive Of the person vaccinated taking
the smallpox, doctors OF medicine are
of but one mind in regard to it, 1t
is the only safeguard against the
disease and its effects. The JOURNAL
within the last year has had much to
say about smallpox. The near APP
proach Of the disease to this city and
its dis astrous effects upon a town
when contracted by its citizens war
ranted the oft-repeated reference.
Whether the disease is mild in form
or malignant nobody wants it. 1t is
safest TO prepare for it and keep
away from it.

Rnsiness Men,s Assoeiation.

A business mems organization for
the furtherance of the material
interests Of the city has been under
discussion in a general way for the
past year but no definite and concert
ed action had been taken to bring the
matter to an actually until recently.
The necessity for such an organiza-
tion has been almost universally rec
ognized and its utility conceded in
advance. Last week a number Of
business men united in calling a
meeting to consider the question in
deliberative manner and such meet
ing was held at the fremont Mon
day night Of this week. After the
meeting was called to order A. +
Morgan was elected chairman aud II
p. Hurlburt secretary. The object,
intention and benefit Of an as
ISOLATION such as was contemplated
in the call for the meeting was dis
cussed with the conclusion that a
permanent organization, be formed.
The name selected as an appropriate
and suggestive one was The River
Falls Advancement Association.'
The meeting voted that the chair ap-
point a committee Of three to draft a
constitution and bylaws and to re-
port upon the same at the next meet
ing. The chair appointed A. p.
Forsyth, Geo. Theo. Smith and G /.
ApRoberts as such a commi ttee. An
adjourned meeting is to be held at
the fremont next Monday night,
com meuclug at o'clock. A general
attendance is desirable.

The High School Literary Society
had a ''hot time" at their open
meeting Friday night, but the super
fluffy of caloric was generated in the
basement furnaces and found its way
through the open registers. The
janitor was absent and the amateurs
did not seem TO be conversant with
the manipulation Of the hot air ma
chinery. However the young people
kept remarkably cool in the trans
action Of the business in hand. The
room was crowded but the boys and
girls preserved excellent order, giving
interested and sympathetic attention
to the performance in detail Music,
essays, recitations, declarations, a
comedy drama and a debate filed up
the measure of time allotted and the
consensus of frequently expressed
sentiments at the conclusion was
that the performers had done we'll
The action in the drama was a little
cOnstrained-pe perhaps to conform to
the plot; in which the course Of true
love was somewhat interrupted oc-
casionally as usual, A little more
concerted rehearsal and suggestion
would have corrected this constraint
The drama was fairly we'll produced
considering the attention that haC
been given to its presentation and il
was amusing to the audience. The
debate on the Initiative and Refer
endum of Legislation" was the prin
cipal feature Of the program and this
was well sustained by the ready con-
teution Of the young ladies and gentle
men involved In the discussion. The
result Of the discussion showed thai
the debaters had studied the question
pro and con and both sides presented
good substantial arguments. These
exercises are valuable to the students
and they should be encouraged il
them.
