STAYED FOUR ROUNDS WITH
CHAMPION JEFFRIES.
BIC MINER KNEW THE GAME
Showed Great CIeverness in Duckinu
and BIocking-Fitz Put
Out His Man.

Butte, Dec. 21.-Jack Monroe, a
miner of this city, is the idol of Butte.
He fought four fast rounds with Cham.
| pion Jim Jeffries and the big fellow
failed to stop him as agreed to and
lost the decision. The great crowd
went wild with enthusiasm. Monroe
repeatedly jolted Jeffries in the face
and had the big fellow considerably
worried. Monroe was not to be de-
MED, no matter how hard or often
Jeffries came at him and was fighting
fourth round.
Jeffries tried his very best to knock
the big miner out, but he showed great
cleverness in ducking and blocking
uppercuts. Jeffries also roughed it
in the clinches, but Monroe was with
him all the time.
At one time the champion went to
his knees and a knockout looked pos
sible.
Jeffries and his manager had posted
a forfeit of $3.50 for anyone to stand
against Jeffries for four rounds and
Monroe accepted the challenge. At the
end of the fourth round Monroe was
still ready to fight. Monroe is anna
teur champion of the Pacific coast.
Fitzsimmons has posted a forfeit of
$500 to put Monroe out in four rounds.
Fitzsimmons knocked Jack Stewart
down and out in a punch. Nose La
fontise put Doc Flynn out with a
right in the stomach in the second
round. Jeffries and Fitzsommons
wound up the program with a lively
f%our-round exhibition. A big crowd
was present.

The whole audience sErieked with

made Il bolt for the dressing room.

MARK TWAlN's REVENGE.

'UOI EVEN" TOO

president of Princeton university and
was very near the head Of the process

hall where the exercises were to be
held.
There We're. of course, many newspa

ed by a st. Louis Man.
Last, but not least. m the trust
of the men whose genius makes trusts
possible and profitable. 1t is an in
ventors and designers trust and be-
gan it's career in st. Louis a few days
ago. A. r. White of the Mound City,
an inventor and therefore one inter-
ested, spoke of it's merits and place in
our national economy the other day to
a reporter of the New York Tribune at
the Cambridge. Said he:
THE purpose of this association of
inventors is to protect the poor or un-
knowing inventor from fraud and in
fringement. The alleged laxity of pat.
ent laws in the United States and 9TH
err countries will be looked after, and
the rights of inventors who are i'm
posed upon by INSCRIPTIONS and usurp-
ing manufacturing concerns will be
protected. The association will help
the inventor who has not sufficient
funds to fight a case in court when ex-
penses are p%rohibitive. All legislation
bearing on the subject Of inventions
will be carefully scrutinized by the
new organization, so that the man Of
much inventive genius and but little
business ability may not be bunkoed
out of the result of his labor"

A CLAMOR FOR FUEL.
Mob Try to Storm a Fuel Office to
Get Hard Coal.

St. Paul, Dec. 21.-Hard coal was
much less plentiful than hard cash
at the retail Office of the Northwest.
ern Fuel company this morning. Feo-
pie were waiting at the entrance u
the sales department of the company
in the Endicott building long before
the clerks opened the office. The sale
began as oon as the doors were open
ed, but it soon became necessary to
shut and lock them because of the
size of the crowd, which numbered
fully 800. The clamor for fuel was far
from orderly. Women were jostled
and pushed and courtesy was thrown
to the winds. One woman had a hand
some coat torn nearly it's full length.
Hats we're knocked off and smashed,
and people became wedged together
like SO many sardines. Some became
angry, some took the whole thing as
a joke, but only part of the hundreds
of applicants secured their hearts
desire-a supply of anthracite. This
was the only company having hard
coal and they would sell but a single
ton to each person.

4 Catch Bet.

Turn round, and, with your back to
the table, ask somebody to throw the
dice. Then tell the person who threw
them to double the number of the spots
on the die on the left, and keep the
number to himself. Tell him to add
five, then multiply by five. 10 this fig
ure have him add the number of spots
on the die in the middle and multiply
the product by ten.
Then ask him to multiply the number
Of spots OIL the third die and give you
the aggregate sum. From the amount
subtract mentally $50, and the remain
der will show in the three figures the
number of spots on each of the three
dice. For instance, take three dice.
Their numbers are three, five and two.
Double the one ON the left-fve plus
FIVE equals ten. Add five, equals fif-
teen. Multiply by five, equals seventy
five. Add the number of spots on the
die in the middle, three, equals seventy
eight. Multiply by ten, equals 78O.
Add number of spots on the third die,
two, equals 1872. Subtract $50 and 532
remains, which are numbers on the
dice.

Tschudy, Sherman and Richstein, all
connected with the local alleys, are
of the opinion that they can bowl just
a trife better than any other three
men in the city and are prepared to
go against any trio that can be or
ganized. They are not particular
what the stakes shall be, standing
ready to play for money, marbles,
chalk or a ring on the floor. AS there
are a number of tolerably fair players
in this neck of the woods the ambiti-
gentlemen will probably find three
others willing to accommodate them.
Already some of the best among
the home players are looking about for
mates for the organization of three
mel teams to compete in the state
tournament, which takes place at
Butte, March 16, and in which all the
crackerjacks of Montana are expected
to take part. 1t is certain that Bill
ings will send several teams up there
and furthermore it is also fairly GER
tain that all of them will not come
back empty handed.
AS they have never seer it, although
they contributed one-half of the cost,
the trio of Billings players who down.
ed the Thortons last Saturday night
are eagerly awaiting the arrival of
the trophy they have a mortgage on.
The matter Of the selection was left
to the Butte men and as they were
positive that they would win it hands
down. the chances are that something
has been picked out by them.

WAS NOT SUICIDE.
Death of a Mar Who Carried $500, 900
Life Insurance..

Louisville, KY, Dec. z1.-The cor
oner's jury which spent a full day in
V~estigating the death of r. c.. Whayne,
a prominent business man who was
found last Wednesday night in the
vicinity of Jacobs park with a CUR
shot wound in his breast, late this
afternoon returned a verdict of acct
dental death. Much interest was man.
Tested in the case, as Mr.. Whayne
carried life insurance policies aggre-
eating 100000 and had applied for
$4,000 more. 1t was upon the fact
that Mr.. Whayne carried so much
life insurance and was suffering from
rheumatism that the theory of suicide
was based. Near Whayne's body,
when found, but on the opposite side
OF a wire fence, "a a shot gun with
one barrel empty and the other load
ed and cooked. His friends and fam
lily declared that death vas due to
accident and that the gun was dis
charged while he was climbing
through the fence. Evidence offered
at today's inquest supported the
theory of accident altogether, there
being no features which pointed to
suicide. 1t is not known what steps
the insurance companies will take.
Several New York detectives are here.
Part of the $500, 900 insurance is in
contestible.

SPEED or CABLE MESSAGES
1hfrty-nfne Minutes Around the
World Promised by G. G. Ward

Ihirty-nine Minute Around the
World Promised by G. G. Ward
MI. Secretary" said G.. G. Ward.
general manager of the Commercial
and Pacific Commercial Gable com
panies, the other day to Secretary of
the Navy Moody, about a month ago
a man in Boston sent a cable message
around the world. He did it in thirty
nine hours. On the LIST of next July.
when our Pacific lines are completed,
we will send Il message from New
York around the world in thirty-nine
minutes or less"
Mr.. Ward, accompanied by Mr.. Cook
Of New York, counsel of the company,
called at the navy department in WASH
ington after meeting Attorney General
knox and signing the final agreement
between his government and the cable
company prior to the extension Of the
cable to the Philippines, says the New
York Herald.
The clauses in the agreement relat-
ing to the control of the cable in time
Of war are as follows:
THAT the government of the United
States shall have authority to assume
full control of the said cable during
war, including grave civil disturbances.
or when wal is threatened.
THAT all contracts entered into by
the said company with foreign govern
ments for the transmission of messages
by the said cable shall be null anu
void when the United States is engaged
in war, so far as the president or con-
gress shall so elect.
THAT the United States shall have
authority to sever at discretion all
branches which may be connected with
the main cable line aforesaid during
war or a threatened war"
The representatives of the cable COM
pany We're highly gratifed at the com
plete and detailed character of the
charts prepared under Rear Admiral
Bradford's supervision after the survey
made by the Nero. They declared that
they were worth 100000. While the
navy department has nothing to do
with the cable the company will con-
struct from Manila to China, it is I'M
derstood hat this cable will be laid
from Manila to Shanghai instead of to
Hongkong, where the English cable
now touches.
To secure communication between
San Francisco and Manila the compa-
ny will be obliged to lay fully 5000
miles of cable. The distance is: From
San Francisco to Honolulu, 2,lOO miles;
to Midway island, 1,16O miles; to
Guam, 2,2SO miles; to Manila, via San
Bernardino strait. 1872 miles, a total
of 6,912 miles. Between IL and 20 per
cent should be allowed for slack in the
cable, making it's total length fully
5000 miles The Nero survey includes
a branch from Guam to Yokohama, a
distance OF 1882 miles.

The TumbleweeI.

The tumbleweed is a curious plant,
Indigenous to the western prairies. 1t
grows in all directions from a central
stem, making a large fiat head, close
to the ground. In the fall, after being
touched by the frost or dried by the
weather, the stem breaks off, the head
becomes the sport Of the wind and is
driven off across the prairie, scattering
seeds as it goes and finally bringing up
against some obstruction which arrests
it's progress. These weeds have been
seen piled ten feet high against u
fence, driven there by the wind.

WHAT MEN CAN DRESS ON

Chicago Professor Says They Need
So a Year, Women $50.
Professor ]. Scott Clark, head of the
department Of English. Northwestern
university, has been telling audiences
in Evanston how cheap one can live,
says a Chicago dispatch to the New
York Evening Journal. He bases his
remarks on his personal expenditures
and says:
Any woman can dress on $50 a year.
Any man can dress on $35 a year.
Any wage carrier, at the present rate
of wages, can save $1,000 by the time
he is twenty-eight If he begins at
eighteen.
Professor Clark says that the labor
ing man does not receive a fair share
of what he produces and Is not always
given proper treatment, but he need
not fear for the future.

Practical Joke May End Fatally.

Mahanoy City, Dec. 21.-Joseph Po-
linsky, a practical joker, got himself
into serious trouble yesterday, which
may result in his death. Seeking to
terrify a fellow boarder, he enveloped
himself in a sheet and with a shrek
burst in upon his fellow countryman.
The latter failed to appreciate the
joke and threw his ghostly visitor
through a second story window,
breaking his jaw, six ribs and caus-
ing serious internal injuries.

Fifteen PERSONS KILLED IN
RAILROAD WRECK.
ENGINEER IGNORED SIGNALS
Fails to Stop and Sends His Locomc.
tive Crashing Into Coach Filled
With Passengers.

San Francisco, Dec. 21.-From 10 to
IL persons were killed and as many
more were injured in a rear end col
lision on the Southern Pacific at By
ron, CAL, last evening. A local train
known as the Stockton flyer ran into
the fast Los Angeles train, known as
the Owl. The real car of the Owl, a
Fresno day coach, was smashed to
%splinters and every person in it was
either killed or wounded. The next
car the diner, was badly damaged,
but none Of the passengers were hurt.
His Signals Ignored.
The Owl, which leaves the Oakland
pier at 4:3O o'clock p. m. had covered
only about 40 miles when a steam pipe
was found to be leaking. At Byron, a
little station IS miles from Oakland,
the train stopped on the main line and
the disabled engine was cut off. A
flagman went back several hundred
yards to stop the Stockton train,
which left half an hour after the Owl.
Both trains were on time. At 7:15
the fagman saw the headlight CT the
local coming down the straight track.
His lantern signal was ignored by the
engineer and a moment later the en-
CINE of the Stockton train struck the
Owl. It plowed it's way entirely
through the Fesno coach and was
thrown on it's side when it reached the
diner. Byron is only a siding and no
%wrecking apparatus was available,
which made the work Of rescue slow.
At least 80 persons were caught in
the wreck.
Twenty-seven Extricated.
After an hours work q dead and
wounded were e%xtricated and laid be-
side the track. One of the passengers
who saw them said half of them were
lead or dying.
OF the dead has been identified
as Clarence o. Luff of Fresno. The
unidentified include three women, a
Japanese boy, a japanese man., two
Cinnamon and n laborer.
