Jour STREETS"
TALKED ABOUT
We're Subject of Discussion in
Lewiston Journal During the
Year of 1868

An interesting article appears in
1.-THE Lewiston Journal" bearing the
date of Friday, March 8, 1867, which is
in possession of The Teller. and shows
that even in those days the matter of
public improvement of the streets of
Lewiston were matters for discussion.
The article in question is quite sensible
comment and might be applicable at
this day also. II speaks of the i'm
portance of the necessity of the town
fathers looking into the matter of pri-
vate individuals fencing of city prop
erty, pointing out the evils attendant.
and there Is no doubt of the truth of
the statement, as time has shown the
effects, by the present situation of GER
tain of the property in the down town
district with relation to angular streets
and narrow alleys once called streets.
The Teller herewith reprints the ar
ticle:
"Our Streets.-There Is need of at
tention to the condition of our streets.
The notice that some of our citizens
do not hesitate to cucumber the streets
with wood and other material which
not only gives to them a bad appear
ance, but also renders a walk in the
after night fall. hazardous.
Loose stone and filth are found In
many places, much to the annoyance
of citizens.
I'VE also perceive that in one or
two instances our streets are enclosed |
by fences. We know not with what |
right or authority, or for what pur-
pose.
simpler aggressions that these |
have been the causes of prolonged law
suits respecting titles in other places. !
and our citizens should see to 1t, that
rights belonging to the town are not
gradually and almost imperceptably
taken from It.
Because town is new and of slim
growth. furnishes no reason why the
rights belonging to the public should
be frittered away. or infringed upon.
IF the authority exists to check
these aggressions. that authority
should at once be exercised. and the
public interests protected"

Have Been Married a. years

Lyme Cook and wife of Banner
township, Smith county, took the prize
at the Gaylord reunion as the Oldest
married couple. They have been mar
ried SO years. That is a pretty poor
record when compared to that en-
joyed by Uncle John Hays and his
good wife of this city. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hays were married in February, 1840
and have therefore been married all
most 5 years. Uncle John is still as
frisky as colt and his mind is as
clear as it ever was. Uncle John is a
great Democrat. A few years ago a
man met him on the street and shout
ed, "Hurrah for the Democrats. ,"
yes" said Uncle John. that's what
I say. But where are they?" Uncle
John can no longer see to read very
well, so Mrs. Hays does the reading for
both.-Osborne Farmer.

Woodmen Cnt Corn.

A number of the members of the
Modern Woodnlen camp at Halls
Summit showed their brotherly love
for George Bennett, one of the mem
bers of the camp, by cutting 1853
shocks of corn for him Wednesday of
last week. Mr.. Bennett has been laid
up for more than a month with a
sprainei ankle as the 1esult Of an ac-
cident on a has stacker, and had got
behind in his work. Last Wednesday
Charlie Dodd. Jim CorWin, Bruce Half
ner, Arthur Manson and Pete Brosmer
from the Woodmen' lodge, assisted by
Wynne Bennett and David Fudge,
went to his farm and cut his corn.
Mr.. Brosmer cut sixty shocks with his
corn binder and the others did the rest
by hand. Mr.. Bennett and his family
appreciate the kindness of the Wood
men.-Burlington Jeffersonian.

San Francisco, Oct. 19.-Joe Cans is
as busy as the proverbial bee at Shan
mons training quarters in San Rafael.
For days past he has been touring
country roads. Yesterday morning he
did a ten-mile stunt, came home, had
a rundown and something to eat and
repeated the trick. Today he will en-
large his field of activities and COM
mence his gym work, the most interest
ing part of which will be lively bouts
with Efid Sullivan and half dozen
other sparring partners. The weight,

bother Cans. his trainer, Frank Nc
Donald, or his manager. Al Hereford.
An air of confidence pervades the whole
camp. Cans has never before been in
such good spirits. This fact has been
remarked by people who have watched
him train for contests in the past
Trainer Mcdonald said today; Make
weight? Why sure; there is nothing to
it. Joe only weighs 100 pounds now,
and has made no effort to reduce. He
is in good condition, as he has just fin
ished training for Walcott. He will be-
gin reducing until about ten days be-
fore the fight, and then slowly. The
weight is all right; don't bother about

Big Jim Jeffries dropped into town
en- route east via Montana. After talk
ing about his Thespian experiences he
was asked:
How about fighting?"
'Fighting?" he repeated.
Doesn't it look as if the game was
about done for? They have stopped it at
Chicago, and it now looks as if there
would be nothing doing here for a few
months. However, hope the Shasta
club gets it's permit Now, let me tell
you that if Cans and Britt get together
Jimmy will surprise somebody. That boy
is a great fighter, and if Cans thinks he
has got any snap he will be very much
mistaken. Britt is strong, rugged
fellow, and can fight. I am a great ad-
mirer of him.

Ihe Rehuildine of oak1ev.

Our little burg is putting on airs at
the present writing. We have ten
large new brick buildings in the pro-
cess of construction and enough men
cannot be found to do the work. There
isn't one town in a hundred that would
rebuild after a fire as fast as Oakley
has. In one year from now both sides
of Center avenue from Front to Sec
ond streets will be solid blocks of fine
brick and stone business buildings, and
gle man who is investing his money
that will be sorry that he has done it.
Oakley deserves to be one of the best
towns in western Kansas and the flu
ture is very promising. Let's have
waterworks along with the widening
of our streets and the erection of brick
buildings, and then we can in truth
be proud.-Oakley Graphic.

TO JEWELL COAL MINES.
Missouri Pacific Railroad to Put in a
Switch.


A. H Holden, Mo. Pac. Supt. of
the western division was here last Sat-
urday to look into the matter of put
ting in a switch at the coal mine. We
understand that his impressions were
favorable to the, project and that the
surveyors will be sent here to run the
line. The fact is our coal mine is be-
ginning to be something worth MOTTO
ing, and if the Missouri Pacific doesn't
get interested, there is a liability that
some other road will. The coal is bet
ter in the new shaft, the roof is first
class and the entries are perfectly dry.
superintendent Smitendorff, who
knows all the mines in Kansas, says
the new shaft is as good as there is
in the state. It is to be equipped with
steel cages and the one by which the
men will be hoisted and lowered will
have safety appliances, so that in case
all the cables should break, the cage
would be caught and held by iron
dogs.
AS soon as the mine is in shape to
handle the coal at a profit at a lower
figure, the price will be reduced. The
company has been continually putting
money into the thing so far. Jewell
is much pleased with the present min
erS. Superintendent Srnitendorff is an
excellent man himself and seems to
have a faculty for securing that sort
of workmen. Tt will probably take all
the coal that can be gotten out this
winter to supply the big wagon trade;
but after this year a shipping market
to nearby towns will be required

EcIkersau After Honors.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Walter Eckersall
is out for the scalp of Johnson, Coach
McCornack's all-American Indian
quarterback last year. He is ambi-
tious to shine as the premier quarter of
the west this year, and has a longing
to be declared the best quarter in the
country before the close OF his col
lege career, and is looking forward
to the coming meeting Saturday when
he will have an opportunity to show
his ability against an all-American
quarterback.
Though unusually modest, the little
Maroon lightweight is confident of
outdoing his rival, and if he is sue
cessful he will undoubtedly be classed
with any of the fasteners, and come
under the consideration of the football
leaders of the east for the position OF
quarter on this years all-American
eleven Johnson was the selection for

WILL CHALLENGE JEFFRIEs.
Jack johnson Pulled Up Over His
Victory Last Night.

Los Angeles. Cal. Oct 19.-Ip a whirl-
wind fight which lasted less than two
rounds, Jack Johnson, the colored
heavyweight champion, knocked out
Denver Ed Martin last night at Haz-
ards pavilion. The fight was very fast
while it lasted. Martin started out to
force the pace, and did some very fast
sparring, but whichever way they came
together Johnson sent in terrific body
blows Martin went to his knees twice
in the first round. In the second Mar
tin started the fight with a straight
left to the face, but got a hard right
over the heart which put him down for
the count of seven. He got up and rush
ed again and again went down from a
left in the stomach. He arose at the
count of six and Immediately got a
right to the body and left to the jaw
which put him out.
Johnsons manager stated that he
would issue a formal challenge in be-
half of johnson at once to fight JEFF
fries.
Manager McCarey of the Century
Athletic club announced that he would
offer $4,000 guarantee for a match be-
tween Jeffries and Johnson, the battle
to come off here some time this winter.

teams play in one afternoon for one
admission.
The first game, at 2 O'Clock, is be-
tween the old rivals, Central High
school. of Kansas city. and Topeka
High school. Central High school is
supposed to have much stronger team
than that of the Kansas City Manual
Training High school, which the To-
peka High school defeated here last
week. The Topeka team is working
hard in preparation for the contest.
The Topeka lineup will be the same as
in the Manual game.
WaShburn'S game with Doane will
be a good deal, on the. same plan as
the Monday game with Paramount.
Doane is laying up for this game
with Washburn, just the way Fair
mount did. 1t is the big game of their
schedule, and they will make a des-
perate fight to pull Washburn into the
dust Doane has a team which ranks
second only to Nebraska university in
that state. This is the first time Wash
burn has met that school in football
for about five years.
AS a result of the game with Fair
mount, Coach Outland has made some
radical changes in the Washburn line
up. Pierson, the 190-pound tackle,
will be used at halfback in the Doane
game in place of ThraiIiill. who
proved to be too light for the back
field. ThraflkiH has the speed and
pluck, but the big Paramount men
too easily. Pierson seems to have the
speed, and he ought to make one of
the most powerful backfeld men in
the west. What Washburn has lacked
in its backfield so far has been COM
bination of weight and speed. Cald-
well combines the two to perfection,
but the injury to Millice has caused a
lot of difficulty. The repeated shake
ups in the backfield has no doubt been
responsible for the ragged interference
which Wash burn has been putting up.
fullbacks and three right haIfbacks
have been used so far this season. 1t
is about time that a combination be
found which will stick.
e. The place at right tackle which
Pierson has been filling SO successful
ly will be played by Sharp. Sharp was
in the Paramount game for a while,
and did some good work. He is too
good a man to keep on the side lines.
Sam Lakin and Bob Stewart, who
thought they would quit the game for
the rest of the year, were both out on
the field Tuesday afternoon, and are
hard at work again. They will both
go into the Doane game. This will
leave Anderson free to take Jim Stew
arts place at quarter.
Tuesday afternoon. Coach Outland
had the squad doing a lot of work
with the tackling dummy, after which
there was a long signal practice.
Signal practice is what the team seems
to need above everything else.
