Munroe outaehts sharkev,

Philadelphia. Feb. N.-Jack Munroe to night out-fought Tom Sharkey in a SIX. round bout at the 2nd regiment armory. Munroe stepped from the ring without 3 mark while both of SharkeSSs eyes we.S swollen from vicious right and left swings of the Butte miner. In only one round did sharkey have any advantage over Munroe. After this the battle was almost wholly in Munroe's favor. Until Munroe began to find the sailors stomach, Shar- key became wild and nearly all of hIa leads went around Munroe's neck. In ths fifth round Munroe had his antagonist In trouble and again in the sixth round Shar- key was in great distress. The blows which Munroe landed on sharkey's sEom- ach went straight from the shoulder and were hard enough to knock out many a fighter. The general opinion is that Jer- fries will now be called on to defend the championship against Munroe.

THAT COLLEGE MATTER.
It is to Be Discussed by c. and I.
 

Association.
 The meeting of the Commercial and Il- dustrial Association Tuesday night gives promise of being a most interesting ses- sion.
 A special committee. consisting, of F. P. Glass and Bradford Hardie, will appear to present to the Association the matter of the location here of the $1oo.ooo col lege for men. and request the endorsement and cooperation of the business men ir securing the institution for Montgomery.
 After the routine and new business has been transacted the meeting will be turn ed over to the Transportation Committee J. c. Haas, Chairman, and the members of the Committee will present two or three short. pointed talks on the ReneraI subject of Montgomery's transportation facilities. Before the evening is over. these will be thoroughly advertised.
 It is probable that the Committee viii have presented. first. Present Schedules in Relation to Montgomery's Trade" some of which are operating to its detri- ment just now.
 Another subject to be presented Is a Montgomery Trade Excursion" while a third will be New Railroads for Mont gomery." The speakers who will handle these subjects have not been annuonced.
 The idea of specializing the meetings of the Association in this manner Is receiv- ing general commendation. After the pa. pers are read a general discussion will be invited from all the members and sugRes. tions requested by the Committee.
 The Real Estate Committee of the Az. sociation held an interesting session yes- terday evening at 6 o'clock. They are pre-. paring to take charge of an early meeting of the Association and their program will certainly awaken the interest 6f the busl- ness community in real estate investments in Montgomery.
 A subcommittee consisting of c. c. zirkle, F. D. Kohn and W. c. Holt is preparing the subjects to be discussed and the speakers to present them.

Citizens Hold a Meeting to Consider Rebuilding of the Burned Di- trict-The Republican
 Committee.

New Decatur. Feb. N.-(Special}--A sarra and enthusiastic mass meeting of citizens was held in the Commercial CluD rooms in New Decatur last night for the purpose of making arrangements for the rebuilding and to talk over the situation of the business district, which was re- gently destroyed by fire, entailing- loss of $150,000.
 Although this fire was one of the se- yerest blows New Decatur has ever had. her people are not discouraged, as was shown at the mass meeting last nignt, and the prospects now are that the burn ed district will rise into paIatial business blocks which will surpass the ones which were wiped out by the fire so suddenly Tuesday night. v
 1t was the push and energy of her peo- ole that built city here of 1000 persons tn a comparative brief e0ace of time, ana this same energy Drg-e,zHs today and Will be the means of tfSas5lsg the city greater in the future than 1t 1sG been il the past.
 Mayor Sam Blackwell presided at the meeting held last r1glSt and. upon taking the chair, said in part:
 I've are all familiar with the facts and circumstances that bring us here. We are here to exchange ideas for the re- building of the burned district We were so unfortunate as to lose Tuesday night. The business men who occupied this block were among our best people All these men were doing well in business and We need them and they need the town. I feel sure that the people of New Decatur are as progressive and enterprise ing as any people in any other part of the land. New Decatur is full of life. full of promise, full of hope. Our recent fire in proportion to population Is as large as the fire of Baltimore. We want to set on foot a plan to rebuild what has n.ssn-. .mI n1n has never been built. We need the build inGs. We want to rebuild and make more modern buildings than were burned"
 E. H. Ellison, who lost building in the block burned, said last night that he was ready to rebuild, and that there would soon be three other twenty five foot two-story buildings erected on the lots.
 Charles Bassett and F. Vassault the other parties who owned the remainder of the burned block. were not in a posi- ton Co say last night whether they would rebuild or not. but 1t Is believed that they will.
 There is now a movement on foot look Ing forward to the building of a Masonic Temple and opera house on lots near the burned district.
 At the meeting last night primary steps were taken looking to the organization and maintenance of paid fire depart ment, and there is but little doubt but that the city will have an up-to-date Ire company, with all paid man. WsNhin the next few months
 A subscription was started at the meet ing last night for the benefit of the vol unteers who fought the ire so bravely Tuesday night. Nearly S100 was raised and the subscription will be carried on.

TIME TO CALL A HALT.

The mayor OF South St. Paul ordered
the president of the Union Stock Yards
company out of town, because the latter
was severe in condemning the laxity of
steps taken to put an end to mob law
IN that place, a consequence of the
butchers strike.
Public officials are doing more than
the anarchists themselves in breeding
contempt for the laws. In Colorado
they tear men from the bosoms of their
families and deport them beyond the
states borders, threatened with death
if they return, and, shameful as 1t is,
these exlles have thus far failed to find
remedy. Every lawyer and every man
whose sense of justice prompts him to
protest is summary thrown into the
bull pen. The Colorado warfare evil
IDENTIFY affected South St. Paul's DO
tions of official prerogatives. It was
wrong in Colorado; it is just as wrong
In st. Paul. Such usupat1on of judi
cial authority by executive officers il
more dangerous than anarchy, and un-
less stopped right speedily will bring
woe to the nation. Peremptory official
decapitation of public officials guilty of
such outrageous misconduct is the rem
edy. This is country of law and order.
Every citizen, high or low, is supposedly
immune from such tyranny, under the
constitutional right to trial by jury.
Allow such things to be continued and
the pillar of public faith in the much
Wanted constitutional theory that every
citizen is to enjoy the ''inalienable right
of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness" will crumble away; then there will
be no law.
Until public sentiment begins to deal
properly with those dangerously ambi-
tlous public men who to advance SELF
interests are willing to trim their sails
to catch the breezes of mobocracy, anar-
chy will prosper, and there's no telling
what the end will be.

SIGNS OF EARLY SPRING.

II know when spring is at

according to the New York Sun,
"by the things l see in the range
of backwards in view from my
study window.
"In the sheltered corner of some
of these yards, where it is pro-
tected from the cold winds and
where it gets not only the direct,
but from the sheltering fences,
the reflected rays of the advanc-
ing seasons warmer sun, the
grass begins to grow green while
yet there may be in other parts of
the yard patches of snow and ice.
The eager grass responds to the
first call of spring.
"And so do the dwellers in the
houses to which these yards are at
tached. On that same day in some
of these yards there were people
out raking up the winters debris
the scraps and pieces of paper,
and the twigs and the sticks, left
on the ground after the melting
away of it's winter covering. They
had sensed the approach of spring
and they were cleaning up; and on
the first occasion, anyway, they
were moved no doubt not so mucl,
by a desire for neatness and trim.

an inw24 d prompting to get back
to them once more; to mother
earth.
ut doesn't matter to me what
the ground hog may say, or how
many other Indications may
point, I always know when spring
is at hand by these two signs, by
the coming green Of the tufts Of
grass in the sheltered corners of
my back yard, and by the appear.
