who followed the lead of the Prince of
Wales; these are some of the interesting
characters in THE Royal Box" which
Andrew Robson and large company

JAS. ]. JEFFRIES, CHAMPION OF
THE WORLD.
The Duke of Manchester extended
sympathy to James j, Jeffries the other
day in Cincinnati, on account of his
boxing contest with Rubin being stop
ped. The Duke purposely cut his tour
of this country short to return to the
Queen City of the Central States to be
ringside spectator of this world
championship match. Quite friend
ship sprung up between the Duke and
Mr.. Jeffries. The Duke, by the way is
an expert on boxing, and showed con-
siderable curiosity during the conversa-
ton, to know what the scissors blow
the wave punch, and the ''pouse cafe
black" was. Jeffries kidded the Duk ,
that he had new punch called the
electric twister, but as he keeps it in
an envelope in his inside pocket, he
wouldn't do any further enlightening.

will be at the Auditorium tomorrow

MACHINERY REMOVED
Building Occupied by Marietta Electric Co
Has Been DiSmantIed.

A visit to the electric power house
on Second street shows that the ma
chinery which formerly filled the
building has in large part been re-
moved to the new building in Nor
wood.
The engine and dynamo rooms have
been dismantled and the heavy ma
chimes have been transported to the
plant in Norwood. where they are in
operation furnishing power for the
lights and cars.
One of the old road machines and
one light dynamo remain in the build
ing, but these will be taken out in the
course of few days, thus leaving the
long room practically empty.
The boilers will not be moved until
spring, as they are not needed in the
Norwood plant, which is equipped with
new machinery.

BY Associated Press.
New York. March 4.-Business was
conducted on the Stock Exchange to-
day with great decorum and sobriety of
demeanor, in strong contrast to the
wild and feverish activity that pre-
vailed a short time ago.
The attendance of brokers on the
floor was small. 1t was in accordance
with this ouieter condition of senti-
ment that might be called the more
substantial considerations ruled in the
days tradings, such as the showings OF
earnings, trade outlook for certain
stocks, results of financial adjustments
and the like. The most conspicuous
movements of the day were the stocks
of the Municipal Gas Companies, espe-
cially those of greater New York.
There were points of strength all
through the Railroad list. Changers.
Pacifics and Southwesterns all enjoyed
good advance. Rock Island and Union
Pacific leading. A number of minor
railroads were also in good demand.
Steel stocks were higher but they were
without any sensational features.
There was good demand for Rail
road Bonds with some irregularity in
the prices of Changers.
The total sales of stock were 675, 900
shares.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIes, manufactured bv the
CALIFORNIA FIa 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. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's 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 the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and

DUMP BOAT CROWDS
IN ON THE NEW lEVEE

Mayor Knox has issued an order
for the removal OF the city dump boat
from the vicinity of the abattoir at
the west end of the city to the levee
at the foot of Seventeenth street. In
| justification Of this course he states
that with the present condition of the
roads through the yards of the saw
| mill and the increase IN the amour t
of gar bage owing to tha arrival of tt e
/ heated season, it is impossible 10
make the haul to the west end and
keep the supply disposed of. 1t is
claimed that there is no other place
west of the business part of tow n
| where the river bank is accessible to
| teams.
Aside from the fact that the re-
moval of the dump boat to the levee
is most undesirable, both from the
standpoint of appearances and the
public health, there is the question of
| finding room for it there Hecently a
Davenport sand company has made
room for itself below the Tropp. Oar
ling & Co.'S barge and today the
former had another barge tied up
in such a way as to interfere with
boats landing at the Achme Packet
company's warehouse. There is no
room on the levee now for the landir 2
of any boat unless it ties up on the
portion reserved by the Empire Coal
company.
Rock Island owes it TO tho steam
boats and the stoaubo interests to
keep nuisances away from so much of
the river front as is left. and give the
Legitimate traffic all that is possible Of
what is left. The Peoria com pany
has not completed its part of the
river front cast of Nineteenth street
so that it can be used, but claims that
it will do so as soon as sufficient
stone arrives.
