TERRY WOULD MEET xANaER.
He Has Plenty of Money and Can
Get Along Without Championship.

He Has Plenty of Money and Can
Get Along Without Championship.
San Francisco. April 4.-Terry Nc
Govern. Manager Sam Harris and the
rest of the McGovern crowd have left
here for New York Harris now says
he does not believe McGovern was the
victim of a prsarranged robbery. But
he holds to the idea that Terry was on
his feet and ready to continue fighting
before Referee Graney nd counted ten
in the fatal eleventh round.
He added; Terry only weighed 1251k
pounds and Corbett, am sure, weigh
ed 1872. I am open to back Terry
against any man in the world at 122 or
124 pounds, Benny Yanger preferred"
Terry AIcGovern became a fighter be-
cause of his ability to whip the boys
in the lumber yard where he worked.
He showed so much fight that he was
taken in hand by Charley Mayhood
who now trains him. Terry had not
been long in pugilism before Manager
Sam Harris found him. and the combi-
nation has not since been broken. Nc
Govern does the fight. Harris is mana
ger and matchmaker, and Mayhood
puts Terry in shape for his battles.
McGoVern, who began fighting in
1897, has piled I'D a comfortable for
tune, and today has valuable real es-
tate IN brooklyn, IN aQQ1ltOn TO a SVEN
bank account. Just what McGovern has
made with the aid OF his fists in the
rOped arena is a matter of conjecture.
1t Is estimated that ten ring engage
ments alone netted him about $4,000.
He has had the most profitable career
OF any man in the ring today. The story
/ of his career up to his meeting with
/ Corbett has no parallel in ring annals.
A remarkable thing about McGovern
is the fact that he has perfect hands for
a fighter, never receiving as much as a
severe sprain through his entire ca
reer as a pugilist. He has no cuts,
marks or scars of any kind to indicate
/ the many contests he has figured in for
large sums of money.
Mrs. McGovern is interested in the
success of her husband in the ring and
! travels with him on most of his trips
about the country, but has no desire
| to see him in the ring. She waits for
him at home whenever he is to meet
an opponent, fondly expecting him tc
return a winner.
McGovern, though at heart one OF
the best of fellows, generous, good
natured, devoted to his wife and chill
/ dren. careful of his money and of him
/ SELF regular in his habits and absolute
" on the level, is rough by comparison
with Corbett. There is not a suggestion
of refinement in his red, square face
He talks with the language of the
street gamin, and no matter how he
dresses he never can take on even z
semblance of polish. Out of the rims
he is the best-natured of men, and the
smile is seldom away from his face

Ottawa, April 4.-The new building to
be erected in Forest park by the kan
sas W. c. T. U. as a memorial to Fran
ces E. Willard, and to be called Willard
Hall, will be no and ready for occu-
pancy before the Chautauqua assembly

poses The committee will probably let
d contract for the building.

PROSECUTE MARSHAL KEEPER
Colored People, of Council Grove,
Have Raised Money for Purpose.

Council Grove, Kas, April 4.-The col
ored people of Council Grove have taken
UP subscription and raised 5000 to
prosecute Dud Kieffer, the city mar
shall who shot Robt. Bryant on the 20th
OF November, 1902 They have eill-
Dloyed W. A. Anderson. of Emporfa. 10
prosecute the case. Mr.. Anderson will
file the complaint before Judge Moore.
of the Eighth judicial district next
Monday at Council Grove.
There was an inquest held at the time
of the shooting and the verdict of the
jury was justifiable homicide. The coll
ored people claim that Kieffer was not
justified in killing Bryant.
It seems that the trouble was caused
by Bryant being arrested by the mar
shall and after Keiffer had taken him
nearly a mile to the city Jail, Kieffer
forced him inside of the jail and Bryant
closing it. The officer pushed him back
several times and attempted to close
the door. but each time Bryant woul-
catch hold Of the door and prevent him
steDped back from the door and shot
Bryant dead.
Keiffer's own evidence it is claimed
at the fnduest shows no reason why he
should have killed Bryant. Andrew
Thomas, Frank Baker, Bob Streiby and
G. H. Streibys who were all eye wit
nesses to the shooting, testified at the
coroner's inouest that no violence OF
any kind had been committed by
Bryant. except when he refused to let
the officer shut the Jail door.
]. K. Owens was county attorney OF
Norris county at the time of the shoot
ing and did not prosecute Keiffer, but
has said since that had he been re-
elected he thought he would have pros
ecuted him.
John Malloy. the present county at
torney. has refused to have anything
to Go with the case. bud Keiffer has
lived in Council Grove nearly all his
life and served in the army in the Phil
iDDines. He came home and was elect
ed city marshal. He claims that the
negro had threatened to fix him. and In
his testimony before the coroner's jury
he testified that after he got Bryant in
side the fence that surrounds the jar
the negro made a move as if to pick ur
a rock. but he forced him back to tht
jail door.

TO SEAT 10000 PEOPLE
Structure Given by Glass of

Old Stands Are Considered to
Be Unsafe.

Cambridge, Mass, April 4.-The great
stadium which is to be erected at Har-
ward to take the place of the present
football and baseball stands is the most
unique gift ever made to a university.
The class Of 1879 is the donor. The gift
is to mark the twenty-ffth anniversary
of the class. which will take place at
commencement in 1904.
The stadium Will be wholly unlike
anything ever built in the United States
for athletic purposes. 1t viii resemble
the famous old stadium at Athens.
where noted athletes met to strive for
the honors of the Olympic games. Thus
it will serve not only as a place for
holding the different athletic games Of
crimson teams, but Will be OF educa-
tional value from an architectural and
aesthetic point of view. 1t has been
the aim Of those who designed it to
make it beautiful and yet at the same
time permanent. 1t IS to be erected on
the North Harvard street side of Sol
diers' field, the present site Of the base
ball diamond
The plans of the stadium. as designed
by Proc. Hollis of Harvard ana Charles
Mckim, the architect. provide for a
horseshoe shaped structure of steel with
seats of stone concrete to accommodate

by the class of 70 for their gift was
that the present stands We're unsafe and
their families and friends were in dam
ger Of losing their lives when they at
tended any contest at Cambridge
The foundations Of the new stadium
viii cost about $4,000, which sum is to
be raised by the athletic committee of
the university. The fund of Sl0O. OOo

come to witness athletic events for il

My Restorative differs from all other treat
ments. 1t is the result of my lifetime's study
IN learning how to strengthen the inside nerves.
This remedy always brings back the nerve
power which alone operates the vital organs
The result is like giving an engine more steam /;
the organ has power to do its duty.
The common way is to treat the weak organ
to tide over the difficulty till Nature restores
the nerve power But if the trouble is deep
seated those methods fail And in any trouble
whether trifiing or severe-the right way and
quickest way is to rectify the cause-to bring
