Indian Agents-Civn Service.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Thcre is Il
strong likelihood that the Indian
agents hereafter to be appointed will
be put in the classified service and no
appointments will be made to these
positions unless the applicant has
passed the civil service examination.
This has been recommended by Com
missioner Jones and has recently been
proposed to the president by the In
dian Rights Association and the presi-
dent is understood to favor the
suggestion and will take the Indian
agents into the classified service. The
Rights Association claims that the
bacl1wardness of the Indians in the
matter of civilization is due to the
class of men who have been selected for
the positions of Indian agents. The
commissioner practically agrees with
this view and the president is per-
suaded that the best interests of the
Indians demand that there shall be
reform in the appointment of agents.

grew weak and exhausted; could not
even do light Homework, let alone
washing and ironing; could not stoop
or bend; my head ached severely; l
was in pain from my head down to my
heels; centering in the kidneys it was
a heavy, steady, sickening ache;
could not rest nights, and got up morn
ings weak and tired. l thought l was
about done for, when I saw Doan's
Kidney Pills advertised for kidney
complaints, and got them at Broughton
& Graves drug store. Within week
after commencing their use I began to
improve, and from that time on rapidly
grew better. l used five boxes in all

In his comment on the Corbett-Mc-
Govern fight George Siler says:
Several lefts, followed with a right
to the jaw, did the business for Terry
McGovern. The final punch was
landed when the once Terrible Terry"
was all but done for. and the job of
putting him away was easy for Cham
pion Corbett.
1t was a cool, clever, hard hitting,
strong young fellow. with knockout
over Terry to his credit, against fast,
hot-headed fighter, and GOODNESS, sci
ence, and hitting powers carried off
the honors. Terry. 1t was predicted,
must whale away right from the tap
of the gong and continue doing so
until the champion wilted before him.
This, while his best chance to regain
his lost laurels, also put him in
way OF getting beat in a hurry, but his
style of fighting, which has always
been on the whirlwind order, was best
suited to a hurry up victory.
1t seems, however, he fought along
more careful lines than usual, which
was just to Corbett's liking, as the
longer the fight the better became his
chances, and this proved to be the
case.
Early in the fray, when Terry started
| mixing matters, he was sent flying
through the ropes and took the count
Of nine. The jolts he received re.
minded him Of the hard wallops Cor
bett handed him at Hartford, so he
| concluded to stay away.
This was just to the champions lik-
ing and his superior cleverness, cou-
pied with his GOODNESS, made Meow
ern easier picking. Several times
during the mill Terry sailed in in his
devil way care, hit or miss style. and
while he landed some good hard wal
lops at that style of going, he was
amply repaid by Corbett's hard right
hand jolting uppercuts.
Corbett also excelled, as was en-
pected, at long range fighting, and did
excellent work with his left. These
prods were sent in generally for an
opener for straight shot at the head
or body, and as they carried consider
able force behind them, Terry gradu.
ally became weaker and at the end Of
the tenth round was far from being
formidable opponent
Weak from body and head jolts,
Terry McGovern came up for the
eleventh round to get his quietus, and
it came with Earring lefts, jolts, and
| solid right to the point of the jaw.
Terry kicked about being counted out
too quickly, but he got no redress, as
the edict had gone forth that Corbett
was still the champion.
Among those who expected and
| wanted to see Terry win was Benny
Yanger. He was especially anxious
| to get on fight with the Brooklyn
boy, and 1t is not likely the local boy
will now meet him soon. Yanger will
| go after Corbett, and will try to ar
range a fight for the championship
which will make the fourth time they
have fought.
