THE HAAS BROTHERS
Three of Them Have Fallen in Love
 with Jane Segur.
Two of the Romances Were Stained with B1ood-The Third May End Happily for Both Bride
 and Groom.

Jane Segur, or Haas, the latter be- ing the name she has borne for many years, has had two romances, both stained with blood and her third may be bloodless-if the prospective bride and groom get away in time. Jane Segur is to marry the third of the Haas brothers. She had previously married the other two, but death in tervened and she became twice wid- ow. The third Haas seems to have no fear, but all the good shots in Monte zuma county are not dead yet and there is no telling what may happen.
 Twice married and widowed, Mrs. Haas is soon to become bride for the third time, and is willing to run all risks.
 Thirty years ago William Haas was 8 prosperous young merchant at Mount Gilead, O., but the balm in that Gilead was not sufficient to satisfy the yearnings of his soul for greater wealth, so he removed his goods and other belongings to Cortez, Neb., and set up trading house.
 The belle of Cortez when Haas first made his appearance was Jane Segur, and she was as pretty as a maiden dared be.
 Two brothers by the name of Siegel were particularly attentive to Jane, and they gave it out that the man who married Jane had better make his will before the marriage ceremony was performed. Now it happened that little Jane had fallen in love with Will liam Haas, and accepted his offer of heart and hand. When the Siegels heard of it they became more than ordinarily strenuous. They talked to Haas in an unseemly manner until his Ohio blood becoming hot he was

 Fitzimmons Objects

 Does Not Want a Battle-Danny

 Instruction Tommy Ryan Makes
 Another Cinch Match.
 Robert Fitzsimmons, former heavy weight champion, and his conqueror, James J. Jeffries, had a conference Saturday afternoon at the orpheum theater, Brooklyn, regarding return match, and after quibbling over details for some time were unable to agree upon definite terms.
 The division of the purse caused the hitch, the fighters being unable to come to an agreement as to how the money was to be split.
 Fitzsimmons wanted to have the money split, that is, 50 per cent and 50 per cent, while the best Jeffrles would do in the way of dividing the purse was 60 per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser
 The matter of pictures was easily disposed of, but when it came to the division of the purse money it was evl- dent that F'itzsimmons wouldn't yield a point.
 Fitzsimmons informed the champion he was ready to sign articles under the terms offered by Manager Kennedy of one-third all around. Jeffries told the Cornishman that such terms were not fair in view of the fact that he was the champion. Jeffries said his terms were 75 and 9. Fitzsimmons would not consider it.
 Eager to clinch the match, however, and seeing that Fitzsimmons was de- termined, Jeffries said that he would agree to 65 and B per cent. This, too, was objectionable to Fitzsimmons, the former champion holding out for his orginial demands.
 Finally Jeffries said he would give the Cornishman 60 and 40, and stated that this was the best posiblde terms that he could agree to, as he did not approve of splitting a purse in such an important battle
 Fitzsimmons could not see the mat ter in the same light as Jeffries, and held that the only terms under which he would enter the ring was on a 30 per cent basis.
 It was decided to split the proceeds of the picture privileges equally. FitZ- simmons was willing to have the win ner take all the privileges providing Jeffries would agree to an equal divis- ion of the purse.

PROOF OF PROFESSIONALISM?
Yale Said to Have Evidence Against
 Three More Harvard Players.

New Haven, Feb 10.-It was report ed on the Yale campus last night that within the next few days the Yale athletic officials would furnish to Pro- lessor Hollis, chairman of Harvard's s athletic committed, information which would show that Ristine, Herman and Campbell, the Harvard football men, were professionals, and in the case of the first two that they had played professional baseball. It was also said that Mike Murphy, the Yale trainer, had the documentary proof to sustain the charges of professionalism.
 Manager Satterlee said last night in reply to the criticism of Dr Brooks, at one time prominent in Harvard ath- letics, that Harvard might begin ne- gotiations with Princeton if Yale did not amend her eligibility rules and ap- point something like the Harvard ath- letic committee to responsibly manage Ter athletics, that Dr Brooks was not now intimately and actively identified with Harvard's athletics and that he was practically an outsider. There was revival of the report tonight that if Yale did not soon hear from Har- yard. about new athletic agreement Yale would begin to plan to go to Henley with her crew next summer.

IS someIlmes called, was pointed aS the surviving Siegel, but when he asked the men of Cortez to proclaim publicly that they thought he was the man, not one of them opened his mouth. This particular Siegel was the best shot in several counties.
 John Haas went to Cortez from Mount Gilead to settle up his brothers business affairs, for the widow was too prostrated to think of anything but her sorrows, but she frightened up after John's arrival. He was not bad looking, and, being a good business man, soon strengthened out all the commercial kinks. He had business to attend to in Ohio, but he length ened his stay at Cortez until it was too late to return. He had fallen in love with his brothers rehct, and the end of it all was that he married her. He, like his brother William, lived hap oily with Jane, who was still the most beautiful woman in Cortez, until his sudden death. Whether the Siegel brother still had vengeance in his heart or not is not known, but it is said he was in town when William died.
 There was still another Haas broth CT, named Henry. at Mount Gilead, and it became his duty to go west and look after the interests of the widow. He was more or less reluctant, but he did not shirk his duty. He went to Cor tez, put the business in proper shape, and then began to finger. He might have gone back to Ohio again, but he didn't. The widow was not so young as when she first married, but her eyes were still bright and Henry, be- ing unmarried, liked her. To all ap- pearances she was not ayerse to his company, and at last he ventured to suggest that it would not be bad idea if they became man and wife. As saving clause he remarked that it were better, perhaps, if they were wed at Mount Gilead and made their per manent residence there. He thought the climate at Cortez unhealthy. She agreed with him, and in few days they will go to Mount Gilead, get mar ried, and reside at the old Haas home stead.

At the present time there are seven self-propelling fire engines in the coun- try. Those in the Boston (Mass.) de- partment have been in service since 1897, and have proved of great value. Each weighs nearly4nine tons, but are easier to handle than those drawn by horses. They answer alarms, and are much better hill climbers than the horse engines.

 When the interest in the death of Siegel had died down, says the Chicago Tribune, Haas led his bride to the altar and continued business at the old stand, not caring to go away on a honeymoon trip.

The insineerity Of the Democratic pre-
tensions in behalf Of beet sugar is being
mereilessly exposed upon the stump by
various Republican speakers in Colorado
this fall. The fact Of the case is as ey-
erybody knows, that tho Democracy is a
Vow tariff or free trade party in principle.
Nd everything that tends to that end is
NJ rtily welcomed. Hence many Demo-
cra,ie members Of congress were only too
giat to vote for reciprocity with Cuba,
BECAUSE Il was a move toward lower tar
iffs in that particular direction. Others
We're very much dissatisfied because they
declared that the reduction was not near
" enough. There is every reason. then.
for believing that the Democracy. If It
were in power. would not only reduce the
duty on sugar 25 per cent, but would cut
It off absolutely. The only safe course.
then. for Colorado sugar growers. is to
vote for congressman who belongs to the
