Rubin Is Not the COULTER
He Was Thought.
Champion Jim Jeffries Gives
Out a New Story.
HE TOOK PUNISHMENT.
jeff Declares That He Hit Big
Fellow Very Hard.
Got Twice the Punching Fitz
or COrbett Did.

San Francisco. Sept. 5.-The secret
is out. The story how Jim Jeffries
manufactured his famous knockout
blow is now public property.
Jeffries became confidential on the
occasion of Billy Madden's recent visit.
Billy Madden was among the first to
pay his respects to the champion.
Madden is one of the big figures in the
history of the prize ring, having ham
died a few worlds champions of his
own in his day. He made his most
recent bid for honors with Rubin.
Jeffries was glad to see him, and after
some promiscuous kidding on the score
of Madden's age and youthful appear
ance. he said:
Madden there's one thing I want to
say for Rubin. He got credit for be-
ing a gutter when he fought me. Let
me tell you, I gave Gus twice the
punching that Fitzsimmons and Cor
bett got. Rubin is not a gutter. He
got a couple of wallops that would
have almost stopped anything. I watch
a man when 1 fight him-I don't lose
my head. When I gave him that body
punch that took his feet off the floor
1 knew he was gone. He did not quit
he was just licked. that's ALL"
Madden spoke of the terrific stomach
punch that has whipped so many cham
pionship aspirants.
Funny thing about that punch" said
Jeffries. Let me tell you about it.
When l was putting on the gloves UP to
the old Los Angeles Athletic club-raw
young Indian 1 was then, but strong as
an OK got up against John Brink He
spared with me one day and car-,ht
me a frightful wallop in the stomach,
and 1t hurt me. 1t hurt me had.
never got a poke like that before. and
L SAYS to myself. that's the punch for
me- L licked Fitzsimmons with one.
and put Corbett away with the same
thing. It's like ready money. that
punch is.

WONDERS OF JOHNSON GRASS
Will Endure in Spite of Dry Weather
and Produce Giant Stalks.

Last Saturday James Anderson, OF the
Anderson-Carter ranch, brought in two
bundles of giant grass, known as John-
son grass, grown by him on the ranch
in the southeast part of Sherman coun-
ty, says the Goodland Republic. The
County Attorney E. T. Murphy.
One sample of this grass was grown
on the Smoky bottoms and measures
seven feet in height This peculiar and
wonderful forage plant has the appear
ance of a mammoth red top, and IKE
the red top it is perennial
Mr.. Anderson bought the seed in Onna-
ha last spring, and freight addeo, II cos e
him about SO per bushel. He sowed the
seed in May rather late for the best re-
suits, and tested it to both bottom ana
uplands. The results of this experiment
are quite astonishing.
The crop on the bottoms has not peen
cut yet, but the upland hay was moved
about two weeks ago.
This forage plant is wonder as a
drouth resisting crop. Mr.. Anderson says
that where he moved the upland crop
an aftermath stands about one loot hlSh
and is green and growing, Whlle CANE
near by is dried up entirely.
He sowed about five bushels or SEED
on about five acres, a bushel to the acre
being sufficient, as the plant stools out

RACING AT PROVIDENCE.
Fine Programme and Splendid Exhi-
billions of Speed ~

Providence, r. L, Sept. 5-The
worlds trotting record for geldings
was lowered Thursday afternoon by
Major Delmar to 2:021k, in a trial ex-
hibition against his own record of 2:O4
and the fourth day of the Grand Cir
cunt meeting here was further made
memorable by Dan r., who paced the
hrst heat of the free-for-all in 2:01s4.
Dan r. went to the quarter in O:30iA,
the half in 1:O1A and at the tnree-ouar-
ter post his time was 1904 The heat
from the start to this point was a mag
nificent struggle for supremacy with
Darrell. At the first turn Mcdonald
successfully captured the pole position
from Dan R. and for the next half
mile both horses Travelled as a team.
When within 200 yards of the wire Dan
r. scarcely led by a nose, but by
supreme effort at the last moment in
creased that distance to half a length.
When the time was announced both
horse and driver were cheered repeat

The most sensational work was done
in the second heat. Prince Alert, the
favorite, who finished fourth in the first
heat, because of a poor start, rushed
into first position at the three-quarteT
pole by break by Dan r. Harold S.
followed by Darrell in a fine burst of
speed, headed the leader, and although
they finished in that order all three
came under the wire so closely together
that their relative positions were in
doubt until the decision had been an

The third heat found Prince Alert a
strong leader and he won easily In
2:031k, the slowest time made during
the race.
Major Delmar, between two runners,
started out to beat his own record Of

DEAN M1LLER LESSONS.
Veteran K q. Professor Retires from
Active Service.

Lawrence, Sept. Announcement is
made of the resignation of Professor Z.
Miller from the deanship of the school
of arts, University OF Kansas. Professor
Miller has had this act in contempla-
ton for some time, as the work as head
of the department of mathematics and
also professor of astronomy, together
with the additional duties of the deans
office were more than could be justly re-
quired of him. Professor AIiller's many
friends thoroughly appreciate his long
and faithful services in that position
and approve his decision to lessen his
university duties.
Professor Miller was elected to the
faculty in 1874, when the institution was
little more than an academy, and has
given the university % years of unre-
hitting energy and unwavering devo-
ton. He was elected to the deanship in
1895, succeeding Professor Robinson His
ability as a teacher. his inspiring en-
thusiasm, his constant geniality, his
sympa thetic interest in his students, and
his high ideals will always be remem-
bered with tenderness and affection by
the thousands of students who have
passed through his hands. They will all
unite with his colleagues in the faculty
in sincerely wishing him many years Of
efficient but less onerOuS service to the
university. 1t is understood that in rec
ognition of Professor Miller's long and
faithful service his salary as a dean
will be continued.
The vacancy in the deanship made by
the resignation of Professor Miller has
been filled by the appointment of Pro-
fessor Olin Templin of the department

WAS VERY SMOOTH.
Alleged That Bogus Soap Agent Is
sued Forged Checks.

Wichita, Kas., Sept. 5.-When the case
of the state VS.. c. w. Anderson, the
slippery soap man.. was called in the
city court the defendant failed to put
in his appearance and his bond of $500
was declared forfeited.
The rig in which Anderson made his
escape was left at Towanda, in Butler
county and was brought home by its
owner this forenoon. 1t was in good
condition. No trace Of the bogus agent
has been found since he left the horse
in a farmers barn near that town. 1t
developed that the evening he left, he
gave a local coal dealer a check on an
Enid, o. T., bank for $50, in payment
for a coal bill of $3625, which he had
contracted. Inquiries showed that he
had never done business with the bank,
so the coal man is out $13.75 on the deal.
He also had been hiring livery rigs for
some time and had charged them to the
account of a neighbor by the same
name. A Kansas City detective. who is
here in behalf of the company for which
Anderson claimed to be an agent, is
highly indignant over his escape. An
derson left his wife of six months with
no money, but with her house rent paid
to October Is.
