JEFF SAYS HE WAS SURPRISED.
After the fight Jeffries said: "AIi
that | can say is that | am surprised
at the speedy victory. 1t was thar
left hook to the jaw in the first round
that did the work" Jefries declared
that Munroe was not in Corbett's or

So utterly crestfallen was Munroe
over his crushing defeat that he beg
ged to be hnrriedly taken away from
his dressing room and he was quickly
taken out of the building. When
asked for a statement concerning the
fight he refused to be interviewed.
What Graney Says.
Referee Graney stated after the
fight: "Jeffries is the greatest fighter
that ever entered the ring and to-
night he put up the best fight that |
have ever seen. | don't know where
they are going to find man to beat
him.

The San Francisco sporting frater
nifty seemed to be imbued With the
idea that the outcome was a foregone
conclusion. Not so with the outof
town delegation, however, who came
on every train. A great majority of
these people looked with favor on
Munroe. In fact. this element made
up almost two-thirds of the house.
In the afternoon the betting was 100
to 35 that Jeffries woull win ana ev-
en- money that the champion would
knock out Munroe in less than ten
rounds. There was an abundance of
Jeffries money In sight, but few TAX
ers in the Munroe camp. They were
holding for better proposition. To
ward evening the odds dropped to 10
to three and more Munroo money was

Smallest of Locomotives.

A product.of the MECHANICAL ingenuity
of Robert Lee Constan, of Fort Worth,
Tex. Is a feature of Texas building at
the St. Louis Worlds Fair. 1t is a
locomotive aud tender, built like the
steel monsterthat pull hundreds OF pas
senger aud freight trains in aud out of
Fort Worth every day.
1t Is the smallest locomotive in the
world and perfect III every detail.
1t runs on IA track five and one half
inches wide, is four feet seven inches
long and thirteen and one-half inches
high. With a fuel supply of coal and
water it weighs l15 pounds aud carries
steam to a pressure of I25 pounds.
The boiler is in As separate parts and
put together with 2,525 rivets. In the
the complete machine there are $500
separate and distinct parts, all made by
Mr.. Constan in six years.
The steam gauge is but th~ree-qIarter $
of an inch i'll diameter. but registers
accurately steam pressure up to 200
pounds a square inch.

A Queer Political Study.

Acceptance of wise and disinterested
advice is not IA strong point with the
democratic party. The best thing the
party could do at this time would be to
give attention mainly TO fighting ouC its
quarrels. That course would be more
TO the purpose than IA serious effort to
carry the country without harmony Oh
a single Issue, or, III tact, without any
clearly defined Issue 1t was by IA pop
uiist fusion that the democrats III 1896
lifted themselves out of a desperate
situation anu maize ne of the hottest
campaigns on record, sending the vote
of both parties to high-water mark, but
also causing d line of division IN the
democratic party as it had formerly
existed. There is no pcpulist party
now and no silver issue. All that
remains is an assortment OF radical
differences inside the party, that grow
more intense and numerous as the
months 20 by.
Mr., Bryan has declared that Parker
S unfit TO be the democratic nom nee.
The leading democrats back of the
Parker boom voted against Bryan
Why not settle tins i~rreconcilable dis
pute in 1904 instead OF putting up IA
pretense of contesting the country with
a ticket representing all sorts of con-
tentions and opposites. "A democratic
bolt or two would at least clear the
party atmosphere. The law of the
survival OF the fittest could be applied
with advantage. No longer can the
Parkerites hope that Bryan will make
terms with them. Perhaps they will
say that Bryan is not an important
force i'm the party. 1t occurs 70 dis
passionate observers that Bryan is still
its most virile leader and commands a
larger audience tLan any otier. Cookers
advice TO democrats to postpone presi-
dent-making to 1908 is not bad. The
thing for democrats to do this year is
fight their inside irrepressible conflict
TO a finish.

BAD GANG IS CAUGHT.
Gang Operated in South
Dakota and Neb.
raSka For a Time.
THREE ARE CONVICTED.
Their Rendezvous Was on the
Sioux Reservation-Batt1e
For Liberty.

As time passes 1t becomes more anC
more evident hat Chief Of Police
Gruby did the right thing in part wher
he shot one of the would-be robbers al
the mill last summer. If he had done
what he was justified in doing he would
have got the other fellow and saved the
officers of several states a whole lot of
trouble which the gang have put them
70 since they jumped their bail bond in
this city. The following is taken from
the Argus Leader of May 8:
Tekamaha, Nebraska, Nay Sth,-
George Keller, S. 7. Bulls aud Thos.
Murray, all cracksmen, were yesterday
convicted of robbing the bank of Lyons.
Nebraska.
The men were captured last week al
Kansas City after a chase of several
months in which officers from Nebraska
and South Dakota participated.
They are accused of cracking bank
safes in all three states.
The three Keering brothers, leaders
of this anne gang of robbers and cut
throats, are now in captivity and. it is
expected that they will be tried next
week The three Keerings were cap
tured Wednesday night by the sheriffs
of four northern counties of Nebraska
and a posse of citizens. The capture
was not effected until the posse had
battled with the outlaws all day and
two of the KerriDgs and a deputy
sheriff had been wounded.
For the past two years an organized
band of bad men and safeblowers has
infested Nebraska, holding mp trains,
robbing banks, stores and postoffices,
and terrorizing the people in the
smaller towns. Two weeks ago the
bank at Naper was dynamited and the
safe robbed. Suspicion PORTED To the
Kerrings, and the sheriffs Of four
COMMITTEES organized posses and set out in
search of them
1t vas discovered that they had taken
refuge in a stone house on the edge of
the Sioux Indian reservation. The
house was surrounded. and = demand
made for the surrender of the
brothers. One of the KerringS was on
on guard, and the demand wa answered
by a shot from his winchester. Then
the brothers in the house began to
shoot.
A running fire was kept mp between
the posse and the d~esperadoes from
early morning till night. After dark
ness came on the posse ceased firing
and the desperadoes surprising their
pursuers had withdrawn. made a dash
for liberty. They We're quickly cap
tured, however, put in irons, and
brought to Naper where they were
lodged in Jail.
