Across the Atlantic and Over
Europe.
Jeffries and Corbett Will Seek a
Fortune.
10 WITH SOUBRETTES.
A Little Sketch in Which Cham
piOn Will Be Hero.
Story AflOat That Fitz Will Be
Left Behind.

San Francisco, Aug. 22.-Off to Europe
and a conquest of the old world
That is the plan of Jeffries, about
which there has been SO much secrecy
during the past "a hours.
Jeffries is to be accompanied by Cor
bett, and the pair expect to clean up a
fortune. Jeffries, of course, is to get
the lions share of the profits, but just
what this will be is held in allegiance.
The astute Corbett is unwilling as yet
to accept the division that Jefries
would assign him.
The boiler maker is willing to delay
his trip for a short time if in the mean
time some formidable candidate for the
belt asserts himself, but he must be
satisfied that his would-be adversary is
making bona-fide offer.
Jeffries is not likely to be lured into
the arena soon again by either Rubin
or Sharkey, as he does not regard
either as a formidable. contender.
Jeffries and Corbett will have a little
sketch written. in which Jeffries, of
course. will be the chief hero. A staff
Of soubrettes will likely participate. A
Sparring exhibition of three or four
rounds in which the chief feature of the
championship battle will be illustrated,
is to mark an important part of the
production.
The two gladiators of the ring will go
through the fateful tenth round that
brought disaster to the hopes of the
former bank clerk.
Jim Corbett left with his wife and
Yank Kenny for Chicago. Before leav-
ing it is rumored that the ex-champion
completed arrangements with JehrieS
for tour of America in a new play, in
which both Jeffries and Corbett will
have speaking parts.
There is a story afoot that Fitzsim-
mons has no part in the new arrange
ments, as Jeffries has tired of the lanky
Australian and is anxious to be done
with his company.

RENO COUNTY FAIR.
Hutchinson Preparing tor an Exhibit
of Local Enterprise.

Hutchinson, Kan, Aug. 22.-Workmen
are rapidly erecting the agricultural
building at the Reno county fair
grounds. The work was started sever
al days ago and will be kept moving
now until the building is completed.
The agricultural building is to be con-
structed in the form of a Greek cross
with a total length and breadth of
eighty feet. The wings or ends will be
forty feet broad and the total floor
space will be 4,S00 square feet. This
building will be of similar construction
to the auditorium and a good floor will
be placed in at a height of about one
foot from the ground. There will be
large doors in each end and the struc-
ture will be well lighted with windows
all the way round. There is to be
cupola and a flag staff on the top and
the building will be a handsome addi-
tion to the grounds.
This structure is located to the south
of the auditorium and on the east side
of the driveway from the south gate.
It is easy of access and is in the proper
place for a display of agricultural pro-
ducts, for which purpose it viii be used
exclusively.
There will likely be some additions to
the hog pens before the time for the
fair. There will be a number of en-
tries in the hog and sheep classes and
more room may be necessary to accom-
modate these departments. The poultry
department will likely have a tent again
this year and it will be located con-
veniently near to the other displays.
The race track has been used but lit
tie this year and the managers OF this
department say the course will be in a
much better condition because of this.

MISSOURI VALLEY LEAGUE STAND
MANY SOONERS
Land Grabbers File Wherever
They See Surveyor.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The first annual
report of the arid land reclamation Sc
vice of the geological survey, made by
Mr.. F. H. Newell who is in charge of
it, has been completed and soon will be
made public. 1t gives detailed infor-
nation of the work to date for the es-
tablishment of system of irrigation
under the direction of the national gov
ernment. 1t appears that work has been
carried on in the different localities in
the various states and territories as fol-
lows
on Salt and ella rivers in Arizona; on
Colorado river in California; on North
Platte, Gunnison and Grand rivers in
Colorado on Snake river in Idaho; on
the Deep-well problems of western Kan
sas; on Milk river in Montana; on the
artisan we'll probabilities of western
Nebraska; on Carson and Truckee riv-
ers in Nevada; on the artesian probable
tiles of central oregon; on Bear river in
Utah; on Yakima river in Washington;
around Lake DeSmet and also on Sweet
Water river in Wyoming.
AT each of the places where systemat-
ic work has been conducted preliminary
temporary Withdrawals of public lands
have been made, but the areas which
may be reclaimed are indicated only in
a general way by these temporary Sc
gregations.
Commenting on the effect of these
Withdrawals the report says:
THE impossibility of stating in adj
vance what lands will ultimately be
recommended for reclamation will re-
suit in great disappointment to many
persons. The fact that the lands have
been temporarily set aside is, in the eyes
of many an indication that these lands
will be reclaimed; and although every
attempt has been made to warn indi-
viduals of the futility of filing upon
these lands under the homestead law
they persist in taking up the land on the
bare possibility that the surveys and
examinations will ultimately show it to
be reclaimable. 1t is an unfortunate
condition which apparently can not be
corrected at present"

Saratoga, N. Y. Aug. 22.-The fair

was witnessed. The course had been

all out in winning the second race, a

Argentine Street Force to Quit
Their Work.
Refuse City Scrip and Can't Get
the Cash.
WARRANTS VALUELESS
" Gang" Consists of Foreman
and Two Transfers.
Flood Damage Repairing Comes
to a Close.

Argentine Kan. Aug. 22.-In addition
to his many troubles and the burdens of
his executive duties, Dr. D. E. Chopper,
the mayor of Argentine. is now threat
ened with another grave municipal
problem, which may or may not be-
come the issue of the next campaign.
The entire working force of the street
department of the municipality threat
ems to strike next Monday unless the
individual members are paid in cash in
stead Of in city scrip.
The working force of the street de-
partment Of Argentine is composed of
the following men:
One foreman.
Two Transfers.
These men went to the mayor yester-
day In a body and stated their case.
They did not stop to appoint a grievance
committee because they believed the
showing made by marshaling the entire
force before the city hall would be more
impressive. The men first stated the
case TO H. F. Culp, street commissioner
and then to the mayor. The men have
been given city warrants at the end
of each week, but they declare the
warrants are valueless, as no one will
cash them.
I'VE are trying to devise some means
of getting the city warrants cashed,"
said Mayor Chopper yesterday. If the
men feel that they cannot wait until
then there is nothing for them to do but
to quit work"
The men say that other employees are
paid out of the police court fund, which
is the money collected in fines. They
think they should also be paid out Of
this fund. For the last three months
the greater part Of the expenses of run
ming the city has been paid out of the
police court fund. 1t is the only fund
not exhausted. There is now $500 in this
fund. It's monthly income is $500 and
the expense Of running the city is $500
a month.
Our city warrants are valueless,"
said ]. +. Trowbridge, city treasurer
yesterday, because for the past few
years the warrants have been accumu
lating. The old warrants must be paid
before those now being issued are paid.
The police court fund cannot be used
to pay all the city debts as it is already
running very low"
While the paid force of the street de-
partment consists of only two teamsters
and an assistant street commissioner or
foreman. other work is done by men
who work out poll tax. These men could
not work without the teamsters and the
foreman. The work of repairing the
flood damage to the city streets and of
keeping them in order would therefore
be left undOne,
