KNOCKED OUT BY a WOMAN.
PugiIist Put to Sleep by Girl Who
Had Taken Boxinu Lessons.

PugiIist Put to Sleep by Girl Who
Had Taken Boxing Lessons.
Toledo, Ohio, July 19-Last night
a private entertainment to few in
vited guests was given at the Haggctt
home, 1916 Lincoln avenue, this city
Miss Minnie Haggett had been taking
private boxing lessons of Prof Fred
Brown, ex-pugilist. He had expected
to go on for four rounds for points
with Miss Haggett, but he sprained
his thumb and his friend, Charles
Johnson, an indianapolis pugilist, was
induced to take his place. Johnson is
a very clever boxer, but he undarrated
his antagonist and was inclined to be
"easy" with her. Miss Haggett went
at him hammer and tongs. In the third
round she planted one on his wind
pipe The blow dazed him for a mo-
ment, when the girl, seeing her adj
vantage, followed it up quickly with
a left on the chin and a right to his
jugular and the point of the jaw.
Johnson sank like a rag to the floor.
Miss Hagget1 screamed, for she had
never seen any one go down like that.
1t was more than two minutes before
Johnson regained consciousness.

this portrait has been rehung to suit
some modern Interpretation of the
alleged original plan of the mansion
by George Washington. In doing this
the paint has been scratched and
scraped and In some important spaces
has been knocked off entirely. Worse
than this, a hole about three inches
lons has been punched in the canvas.

PROMISE OF GRAIN CROPS.

Many people who get but very
vague ideas from the averages OF
the governments monthly crop
report, like to see the averages
translated into their equivalent
in bushels. On the basis of the
conditions officially reported for
July l, 1903, the expectation is
that winter wheat will yield a
harvest Of 1853, $4,000 bushels
and spring wheat 257,129,00O
bushels, and that the total har
vest result for wheat, corn and
oats in the United States this
year will be as follows
Bushels.
Wheat 72O, $4,000
Corn 2, 1862, 5000
Oats $4,000, 900
This would make the wheat
harvest SO, 10000 bushels IN
excess of that Of 1902; the corn
harvest 26O, 688, 900 bushels low
er, and the crop of oats shorter
by 1876, 40, 600 bushels. ltwould
be a bountiful crop-not quite so
large as that of last year, but
large enough for home needs and
a profitable export trade-large
enough to keep the traffic of the
grain-carrying railroads up to a
point at which their dividend
paying capacity will not be unfa-
vorably affected.
The European crop situation is
far inferior to that of year ago,
and English estimates points to a
shortage of 100000 bushels
in the European wheat output as
compared with 1902. This will
assure a reliable foreign demand
and will enable the farmers Of
the United States to sell their
surplus at least as advantage
ously as they did last year.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

The Long Prairie Leader Won
ders whyit is thatthere are more
railroad accidents in the United
States than in any other country
on the globe. The Leader says
that the railroad accidents in
England are less than 10 per
cent. of ours in number,and that
about the same proportion holds
good in other countries.
It is no more than natural that
this condition Of affairs should
Bxiist, for this country has more
than ten times the railroad mile
age Of England, and consequently
it is not surprising that there
should be ten times the number
of railroad accidents in the
United States. One reads in the
papers every day of railway acct
dents: but it must be remem-
bered that the country is a large
che and the smashups may be
4,Oo0 miles apart. Accidents will
happen, on the railroads as else
where, but 1T must confessed
that railroading has not yet by
any means reached a stateof per:
fection. Every year, however,
additional safeguards for the
travelling public are being made.
but as long as the American pub
lie live up to their reputation fol
hustling and always being in {
hurry wrecks will occasionally
occur. An absolutely perfec'
railway system on which al
danger of wrecks will be avertee
is practically an impossibility il
this day and age. 1t is the mel
who handle the system anyway
not the system itself, that i
usually responsible for the acci
dents.

Capt Charles Kieeffer. a United

Blew His Head Off.

Charley Chipman received a
letter, Tuesday, calling him to
Ager, Calf, Immediately, and
he left for that place the follow
ing day to resume his duties as
timekeeper for the crew of labor
ers.new engaged in laying new
steel across the Siskiyous for the
Southern Pacific. He had in
tended te~continue his visit here
with his family until tho first of
next week, but this letter from
Mr.. Sechler announced that the
man who was filling Charley's
place during the latter's absence
had taken his life.
The suicide was Duncan Stew
art, of Astoria. He had only
been on duty a day or two, when
he received a letter from home
last Friday, the contents of which
seemed greatly to depress him.
He secured Mr.. Chipman's rifle,
and secluding himself, placed
the muzzle in his mouth and
pulled the trigger with his toe.
The charge blew the TOP of his
head off.
In his letter, Mr.. Seeker
states that the body was wrapped
in one of Mr.. Chipman's quilts,
and forwarded to Astoria. The
