answer is: They are easier and more
pleasant To take. more mild and gentle

Burlington, July 5.-The Jeffersonian
says:
Ed Edwards, the husband of the ac-
cused woman and the foster father OF
the murdered child, came down to re-
main until after the preliminary.
Il don't care what they do" said MIR.
Edwards, Nhey can never convince me
that my wife killed the baby. She
cared for it as much as any mother
could care for her own child, and al
ways treated her as nice as possible.
She made Viola all kinds of nice dress
es and on the day the child was hurt,
had three partly finished dresses"
When asked concerning the report
that their wedding was the result of a
matrimonial advertisement, Mr.. Ed
wards replied that he wrote to an em-
ployment agency at Topeka for a
housekeeper and this woman was rec
commended. He wrote to her and sent
her car fare. Three days after she
came they decided to get married, and
went to Ernporia where the ceremony
was performed. And he says their
married life has always been pleasant
and he has never regretted their mar
riage.
He says that Mrs. Edwards was only
13 years old when she married the first
time and that she now has daughter
"A years old in Missouri. The daugh-
ter has three children, making Mrs.

COrnishman Tells How He Will
Fight Jeffries.

Freely Admits He is Not So
Strong or Heavy.
Cannot Stand Up and Slug With
the BOilermaker
But Will Work His Feet and
Watch His Chance.
GIVES A FEW POINTERS

New York. July 5.-Bob Fit2simmons,
in a signed statement in the Journal
from Skaggs Springs, CAL, where he Is
training, has this to say:
Every one is asking me how 7 am go
ing to win back the championship from
Jeffries.
Wouldn't be a chump to tell them?
Well, guess.
But I'll tell you what 1 will do; I'll
give them a few pointers on how ! am
going to try and keep Jeffries from
trimming" me. You know know just
as well as the next fellow how man
has to fight to- keep away from Jenr1es
most dangerous blows. Corbett had the
system down pat; and he backed it off
the boards that night at Coney Island.
He would have cashed winner, I think,
If he had not tired so badly.
Now, I am not as clever as Corbett.
I never pretended to be. But that isn't
than jeff. He's in Dunkhorst's class
when it comes to cleverness-a lobster.
I am going to profit by the experience
Of my last fight with Jeffries. A man
never gets so old that he cannot learn
something new by experience.
Here's what / learned:
That cannot slug with Jeffries.
That I must respect mis- weight.
That ! can beat him as much with
nay feet as can with my hands.
On the other hand. I feel that have
the advantage of Jeff in several things.
am cleverer than he.
I can hit as hard if not harder.
Il am faster on my feet.
I can think more quickly.
I can hit faster
Dodge mans strength; play against
his weakness.
Keep that rule before you and it will
help you win many a battle In the ring
and out.
If you were caught in an open field
with mad bull with only knife for
a weapon you wouldn't rush head first
at the bull or stand still and meet it's
attack, would you? Of course not. IF
you weren't scared to death and couldn't
take the fence you'd walt until it got
nearly to you, then jump to one side
and try to stab it as it passed
That's the way to finish a man like
jeff
I don't think there's another man in
the world as big as jeff who can handle
himself as well. For that reason don't
know of a man who has a chance to beat
him in stand-up, give-and-take fight.
l had try at it, and Ike the youngster
who was vaccinated with his coat on,
it didn't take.
1 don't have to be hit in the head with
an ak. to see a thing and hadn't
climbed out of the ring that night at
Coney Island when lost the CHAMPION
ship before I saw the mistakes I has
made in that fight
won't make them again. You can go
and bet on that.

BELo1rs cHAuTAuauA.
Extensive Preparations Being Made
by the Association.

Beloit, July 5.-The Kansas Epwortb
Chautauqua assembly which meets In
Beloit July IL to %, promises to be the
big event of the year in north central
very highest order, insuring both in
tellectual and spiritual profit, while
every day will have its entertaining
and interesting features. Three great
ricultural day. July Is. and national
day, July 49, at which Gen. Gordon will
deliver his celebrated lecture, Last
Days of the Confederacy-" On this day
Governor Stanley will preside.
The people of Beloft have taken deep
interest in the Chautauqua meeting,
and are putting the park in fine condi-
tion for the convenience of the visitors.
The park will be lighted with electric
ity, wells have been sunk, walks have
been put down, and telephone put In.
The park proper contains about 80 acres
and is surrounded on three sides by the
Solomon river, and will at all times
be free from dust There will be two
mammoth eating houses, besides lem
onade and ice cream stands.
The auditorium is nearly completed.
1t is built I'M octagon shape, and is 80
80 feet, with a stage 24x38 feet. From
the floor to the deck is 3s feet The
floor space is 40x90 feet, and will he
pied with raised seats is 50x90 feet, each
aisle being raised about four inches
above each other. The building will
easily seat $500. During the meeting
of the ChautauQua there will be a tel
ephone. postoffice and a barber shop In
the auditorium. This entire work has
been under the careful supervision of
Beloit's honored and progressive citi-
zen, H. Jermark, who is leaving moth
ing undone which will in any way be a
comfort to the Chautauqua guests.
Tents are being engaged every day,
and it now looks as If the crowds which
will visit the Beloit Chautauqua park
during the meeting will be quite as
large as the Populist rallies held in
the same grove when they had the Re-
publican and Democratic parties in
Mitchell county whipped to death.

American Beet Sugar company, and
would try to get him to come to this
city the latter part of this month to
investigate the experimental beet cul-
ture of this locality.
Mr. Winterhalter, the chief agricul-
turist of the association, will proba-
bly, come with Mr.. Hamilton and they
will thoroughly investigate the beet
crop which was planted from the seed
sent here by the company.
