HANSEN'S OPINION
OF JACK MUNROE.
Says he is Nothing but a Big Bully
Believes Jeffries will Put
Him Down and Out.

H. T. Hansen, the local champion
wrestler, is back in town again after
a few days spent in New York city.
In speaking about his recent bout
with Jack Munroe, he said:
i "Munroe is not the kind of a man ]
thought he was. Ialways had an idea
thai he was a wrestler, but much to
my surprise and sorrow 1 found that
he was nothing more than a big bully.
How he ever stood it against Jeffries
l don t know, but it must have been
when Jeffries was not we'll. If the
miner is in no better form when he
goes up against Jeffries for a real
fight, then 1 am afraid it will be all
off with him."

-FISHMONGERING RAILROAD.
New Hampshire Line That Used to
Supply Customers at All
the Stations.

While looking through a pile of old
papers the Exeter correspondent came
across the following article in a New
York paper of the date OF February 6,
1859, under the caption of The Smelt
Railroad" says the Manchester Union.
ut is well known that the Portsmouth
railroad has to turn everything to &C.
count to pay running expenses, and
many are the jokes they ~perpetrate
upon the conductors in reference to
their shifts to get a living. 1t is said
that n of them last year was ecu
toned to bring fish from Portsmouth
and peddle them out on the way to Con-
cord.
Zone day he brought along smells,
dealing out to customers at every sta
ton, till he got to Suncook, where he
blew his horn and an old woman came
out and wanted six. Just a pattern-ai'
I've got left, you're in the nick of time
said he, and he began to count them
and found only five. 'How's this?
should have six and he began to count
his fingers, and reckon over how he had
disposed of the four dozen he had start
ed with. After awhile, i have 1t; hold
on a little while and I'll be back said
he: and he ran the train back seven
miles to a place where ne had let q
woman have one more than she had
paid for, got it, came back to Suncooil
and let the old woman have the six she
wanted, and then the 'smelt' train went
to Concord"

ARE SET AGAINST BIER.
Illinois Farmers Make short Work OF
a Cold Storage Plant and
Its Contents.

"If there is any place in the middle
west where the people are out and out
against the saloon business it is down IN
the central Illinois orn belt" said e
drummer the other day who knows
every merchant in the state south OF
Bloomington. THE farmers and wise
men Of the little towns don't mind TAX
ing a nip of whisky whenever they get
the chance, but they're set against any
body handing it out over a bar.
Il was down at Murdoch, a little burg
in Douglas county, only a few miles
from Tuscola, a couple of weeks ago,
and | saw an exhibition Of the rural dis
like for beer that is to be sold. 1t seems
that some man had erected a storage
plant there and had shipped in about 40
cases of beer 1t wasn't being sid
there, l believe, but was being shipped
to other little towne-Newman, Camar-
go and Hume. Well, when the Murdock
people learned there was a booze joint
in their town they armed themselves
with axes, crOwbars and what not and
attacked the cold-storage plant. They
ripped off the roof, tore down the doors
and smashed things in general, and
When they were through there vas a
mud puddle of beer about the place.
Some of the fellows gazed sadly at the
wasted beverage, but not one of them
had dared to suggest distributing the
contents of the cases. No, they're set
against beer down there, but they all
like a nip occasionally"
