Brace, who showed the effects of lack
of training. The fight was for blood
from the start and both men began to
mix things from the first round, which
finished with honors about even. In the
second Brace led off With several fast
punches to the face and received two
hot ones in return. The gong sounded
with Sellers to the good. Rough work
characterized the third round, when

comotor ataXia, the symptoms of which
he has been suffering for several
months. is gradually disappearing.
The Marshalltown party enjoyed its
stay ~atoseveral Minnesota lakes in the
vicinity of 1855 miles north of Minneso-
TIA. The first stop was at Akley, where
fishing was not very good. The second
time the party's tents We're pitched was
at Big San Lake, neal Nevis, where
muscallonge We're sought with but lit
tie success. After a short stay there
the Grow Wing lakes We're visited and
there the party secured fine fishing.
Ten black bass averaging between
three and four pounds, We're not an
uncommon catch for on man, to say
nothing of pickerel, pike and other
varieties not considered worth cooking
Pickere could not be given away, SO
common are they and so easily cap
tured. The men 1ished at lakes Nos.

have had better sport. But few fish
We're brought home because of the long
distance The party had to travel and
the lack of accommodations. Several

day evening to outline a general plan of
action. 1T was decided to wait upon
the commissioner With evidences of the
public's wishes in this matter, and at

amend their bids to figures within real

then urge condemnation proceedings if
a site can not otherwise be secured at
what it is worth.
A finance committee was appointed
to take care of any guarantee that

opinions of manufacturing and other
large business interests upon this To-

around the square it will be because in

unreasonable prices for their land. The
T.-R. sincerely wishes that owners of

would come forward and be public spir-
tied men. 1t is inconceivable that citi-
zens will insist that this building shall
be located TO one side or the other of
town to help some mans property.
Broad public spirit is what is needed at
this time, both on the part of men who
are trying to benefit their private prop

ever to pun together as Il united Gown
this federal building must seek a COM

now make this possible.

HIS HAND BADLY BURNED.
Branch Jones Injured Saturday After
moor While Repairing Electric Mo-

Mr.. Branch Jones, of Jones & Dale
while engaged Saturday afternoon in
repairing AN electric motor at the Tref-
fry ice cream establishment, was badly
injured by being severely burned about
the right hand. The motor running the
concerns machinery had become out
of order and Mr.. Jones was called to
investigate the conditions and repair
it. He tulned the switch in or
der that he might locate the exact diff
ficulty, with the result that an arc was
formed between the W poles of the
switch. The flames shot up. melting
both switch posts and striking Mr..
Jones directly on the hand. The flesh OF
the back portion of the hand was liter
ally cooked, especially on the backs of
the fingers. The palmar surface was
also badly blistered and burned.
The direct cause of the accident, ac-
cording to MIR. Jones, is improper wiz
ing of the building, much of which, Mr..
Jones says, exists in the city. The
switch at the Treffry establishment is
entirely too small, being one supposed
only to carry go volts. AS it receives
the regular trolley voltage, 500, it is
only about one-half as large as ii
should be. Neither is it protected by
a cut-out. as is demanded by the W
derwriters' rules.

hood of 800 tickets We're sold out OF
Oskaloosa and about 175 out of Grin
nell. 1t is estimated that by the time
the train reached Mason City there
were in the neighborhod of 1000 excur-
sionists aboard. The passenger depart

rate, that the trip would be taken adj
vantage of by many, but they did not
anticipate such an enormous crowd.
owing to the crowd the train did not
leave here until 4:10 and consisted of
fifteen coaches.

BREACHES HIS FAREWELL.
f. w. Parsons. of the First Baptist,

Delivers Final Talk to His People.
DR.. Frank w. Parsons. of the First
Baptist church. after a passionate of ten
years. two and one-half months in his
city, preached his farewell sermon Sur
day evening to a large audience. He
took as his subject Gods love for the
world. based on the findings in the book
of Jonah.
Or. Parsons leaves "Wednesday for
Mason City. where he takes the pastor
ate of the Mason City church. He has
had the hearty and loyal support of his
church while here. but several weeks
ago decided in his own mind that the
time had come when he thought he
could do better work in a newer field.
He based his conclusion on the fact
tina matters We're practically at a
standstill in his church, and thai his
membership was not so enthusiastic as
it should be. He announced his decis-
ion to the church and shortly after
wards accepted the call from Mason
City, which was open to him.
DIR. Parsons is a very able man and
friends outside his church will miss
him fully as much as the members
themselves. He has been a hard work
ed for the city in many ways. His
friends here will hope that in his new
field he will make as many warm
friends as he leaves here, and that his
work will be successful in every way.

Fourth.

General Manager G. o. Maggie of the
Savannah Electric Company expects

day. and Mr.. L. w. Nelson of the
Casino anticipates handling the largest
crowd that has ever visited Thunder

An elaborate programme is being
prepared by Mr.. Maggie and Mr.. Nell
son and there will be attractions at
the Casino during the entire day. In
addition to open-air concerts by the
First Regiment Band, there will prob
ably be vaudeville performances in
the morning, afternoon and early ev-
ening. Immediately after the matinee
performance there will be a balloon
ascension, and after the night per-
Torrance a grand display of fireworks
on the water front.
A large quantity of expensive fire
works have already been ordered for
the occasion. Mr.. Nagle is not salts
fed with only catering to Savannah
ians, but has sent out advertising
agents and is billing the country with
Ing radius of 125 miles of the city.
1t is his idea to present attractions
that will draw people to the city

THE LAW AND THE NOSE.
French Criticism on the Chicago De-
cisfOn About Cyrano de Bergerac.

c1s1On About CyranO de Bergerac
From the Journal des Debats.
Cyrano has just passed through an
ordeal more extraordinary than all his
previous adventures. The American
courts have forbidden him to show his
nose in the United States. This is not
because the appenage is Objectionable
in itself. The Yankee mind is too
practical to be led by simple impress
sions. Displicuit nasus is one of those
reasons which only Latin frivolity can
take as sufficient. The Anglo Saxon
races require more serious motives to
come to a conclusion. and serious
things are always pecuniary in a
country where everything from the
weather to the nose can be turned into
money.
Consequently a Chicago District
Court has rendered a judgment ex-
polling from the United States the Cy-
rano of M. Rostand, after hearing the
complaint of Mr.. Gross, a writer whose
fame has not yet reached us.
Mr.. Gross is the author of play en-
titled 1.-THE Merchant Prince of Corn
VILE" the leading character in which
is remarkable for the dimensions of
his nose. This drama having been
written DeIOT6 M. flOSIdDQ =, MT. 6rOSS
had no hesitation about asserting that
the French writer had shamelessly pla-
giariZed him, and the American judges
more protectionist than their tariff,
gave judgment in his favor.
This ought to be a warning to the
theatrical men who might be disposed
to put upon the boards some person
age with a prominent nose. Ovid call
ed himself Mason" because nature
which had so generously fashioned him
for poetry, was quite as generous to
him in the matter of the olefactory APP
pendage. 1t an author should take Il
into his head to make hero of the
exiled poet, he must take good care
not TO attempt to bring out the play
in America. His Ovid would be con-
sidered a rascally copy Of THE Mer-
chant Prince of Cornville." and Il
would be set down as a plagiarism.
Americans have sometimes been re-
preached for not showing propert re-
spect for literary rights, but evidently
they have mended their ways, since
they haxe extended literary property
10 the nose. They go even further,
because, under the decision in question,
they may have some difficult cases 10
deal with; and. n they succeed in un-
ravsling them. the Judges may not be.
like Cyrano. celebrated for the size ~
their noses. but VIII be- celebrated for
