JEFFR|ES WINS
IN TWO ROUNDS
"JAcKD MONROE GOES DOWN TO
QUICK DEFEAT.
BIG CROWD SEES CONTEST
Showing Of sButte Miner Huge
Disappointment and the
"Boilermaker" Has an
Easy Victory.

San Francisco, Aug 27.-Like the
veriest amateur in the prize ring, Jack
Munroe, OF Butte, Mont. went down
and out before Champion James J. JEFF
fries Friday nightin the second round,
The man from the mining district made
such an extremely sorry showing that
the great throng in Mechanics pavil-
ion roundly hooted him as he protested
to Referee Graney against the decision
that had been given in favor of JEFF
fries.
The two giants had not been in the
ring two minutes when it was foreseen
that the aspirations of Munroe would
be quickly disposed Of The miner was
scared and awkward and Jeffries in the
first round had him twice on the can
vas taking the count
Jeffries directed his bombardment
against the stomach of his opponent, and
each shot was followed by blow on the
jaw that sent Munroe to his knees. JEFF
fries went back to his corner after the
opening round with sheer and laugh

on his swarthy face, while Mungoe's sec.
onds busted themselves with smelling
salts and restoratives. When the two
came together for the second round the
laugh on the champions visage changed
to a look of determination that BODIED
i'll to the miner.
Forty-five seconds after the gong
sounded Munroe was lying on the floor,
bloody, bruised mass Of humanity, with
Jeffries standing over him, ready, if nee
essary, to put the quietus on the cham
pionship ambitions of his adversary.
The miner was too daezd to rise to his
feet and the timekeepers counted him
out
A great throng witnessed the contest.
Estimates of the number in attendance
range from 1000 to 5000, and it is be-
lieyed that the gate receipts will ap-
proximate $35, 900.
Men Enter the Ring.
Monroe was the first to jump into the
ring. Announcer Jordan introduced
Munroe as the Butte miner" Jeffries
was then presented as the champion OF
the world. Both men received hearty
round of applause, Munroe, if anything,
receiving the greater amount. Jeffries
Immediately went to his corner. His
face bore smile of confidence. His con-
dition was superb. He was cladin black
trunks, entwined with the national col
orrs. After greeting many friends JEFF
fries stalked to Munroe's corner and
grasped the miners hands.
AS far as appearances went, Munroe
contrasted greatly with the champion.
His face bore a serious expression and
was almost white. He appeared to be i'll
at ease at his seconds fastened the gloves
on his hands. Munroe wore green tights
also surrounded with the national colors.
AS the miner discarded his oyercoat It
was agreed that his condition was per-
feet At 9:3s time was called.

Mrs. puboc Surprised.

The Ladies' Aid Society of the
Baptist church were to hold their reg
ular semi-monthly meeting at the
home of the pastors wife, Mrs. A. M.
Duboc, at 2:30 yesterday afternoon,
and announcement was made to that
effect on Sunday. But the good Ia
dies OF the church thought to have a
little surprise on the pastors wife
and they all planned to meet at eleven
o'clock, bring their "eatin's" and go
in body to the Duboc residence,
where the large table was spread and
bounteous dinner served, which was
enjoyed by all. A jolly good time
was had until $3.50 o'clock. when the
meeting was called to order by the
president, Mrs. McFarlan, and the
regular business of the society was
transacted. This has been a pros
porous year for the society and their
reports have been all that could be
desired Something like two hundred
dollars being paid towards the ex
penses of the church this year.

A Sewer Nut to crack


The council had another nut to
crack in the sewer business of the
evening, Bids had been asked ssar th,e
IIiDailding 81 { seSSs - III ~ -four hun.
dred feet long, accommodating Penn
college property, and this residents
on e street. The sewer to be of fif-
teen-inch tile, with man holes, and
emptying at point west of Forest
cemetery. The bids were to be made
to ways. The city furnishing the
material and the bidder to furnish all
material. Bids of the same kind
were also asked for the construction
of sewer on Ninth avenue running
east from the Anderson canning fac
tory to Seventh street and thence
north to Seventh avenue. The only
bid received was that put in by Dick
Atchison and James Myers jointly.
The men hid only on the Penn college
sewer. They asked fifty cepss per
lineal foot, with the city fl nishing
all of the material, and ninety-five
cents per foot with the city furnishing
''y's" and connections. Man holes to
cost $500. The work to be inspect
ed and measured and payment for
work done to be made weekly at
noon every Saturday. These figures
would bring the cost of this piece of
work close to $3,S00.00. The city has
money enough in the sewer fund, or
in sight, to build the work but there
was a question as to which sewer
should be constructed The Ninth
avenue sewer is a more difficult piece
of work and would cost more in the
construction, but it is not so long.
The city wanted to know how much
for this piece of work, but there were
no bids offered. After a long drawn
out discussion on ways and means ma
terials and costs, it was finally decid-
ed that the city clerk should re-pub-
fish the advertisement for bids upon
the work in the effort to get other
bids, and to have both pieces of work
bid upon. These bids are to be in
the hands Of the city clerk for open
ing on the night of the next regular
meeting, Monday, September y.
The bill of Geo. Carbon & Son for
work done for the city on North B
street, amounting to $229.15, was al.
lowed and warrant authorized.
With this completed the council adj
journed. The paving question was
thus laid on the shelf for another
term of weeks.

A Walk Problem.


The first snag the council struck
was walk problem on North street
ordered in on the east side of the Mrs.
Lou Blattner property, near the south
side of the Fair Grounds. The walk
was ordered in last June. Mrs. Blatt-
ner did not see the necessity of hav-
ing the walk past this property, con-
tending that it would be used by very
few people ordinarily and making the
statement that she could not afford
the Improvement at this time. Now
it appears that for some reason there
is a jog in the street at this place on
account of disagreement between
city and county surveys. The Blatt-
ner lot lines were established by
county survey and they do not agree
with the street lines established by
the city by between two and three
feet. A hedge was built on the east
line of the Blattner property. If the
city puts in the walk according to the
order of the council this hedge fence
will be entirely destroyed, for it
stands about where the center of the
walk would come. If there is an at
tempt made to build the walk on the
line of the hedge fence there will be
some trouble. Mr. Christie made a
motion that the order Of the council
ordering the walk built by the city be
rescinded, but he had no second and
the matter now stands practically
where it was before, with the city
making preparations to put in the
improvement. The end of the trouble
is not yet.

LITTLE WORK IS DONE.
Council Strikes Several Snags That
Blocked Action.

The hour was nearing eleven
O'clock last evening when a motion
for adjournment prevailed, and yet
the accomplishment of the council as
sembled in special meeting had been
very meagre. The meeting was call
ed for the purpose Of considering the
Ninth street paving, opening bids up
on Ninth avenue and Penn college
sewer, opening bids for the grading
to be done on South Market street,
and for making an assessment OF
sidewalks. None OF these matters
were settled. Only six of the coun-
Gil were present during the evening,
giving the mayor bare working quo
rum. Hetherington, Kenwortny, Cole
and Turner were absent from the city
and no work requiring a two-thirds
majority of the council could be
done Fully an hour was spent with
the reading and the correcting of the
minutes of the previous meetings of
the month

SURE OF WEST VIRGINIA.
Republicans Declare the Democrats
Can't Buy 1t.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Nov. Sit is
the opinion of the Republican chair
man, Mr.. Northcutt. that the Demo-
Gratis cannot throw enough money into
West Virginia between now and cleo
ton day to defeat the Roosevelt cleo
tors. He is confident of the election of
Dawson, but the possibility of the de-
feat of the Republican candidate for
governor through the extravagant use
of money is admitted. Standard Oil
mas now shown it's hand in West Vir.
ginia politics this year. In two pre-
v1ouS campaigns it has been friendly
to the Republican candidates. The
most Republicans hope for is inactivi-
ty on the part of the oil magnates. The
local producers are against the Re-
publican state ticket almost to a. man.
They insist. however, that this oppo-
Sition does not extend to the national
and congressional tickets.
The Republicans have attempted to
introduce national issues into their
campaign because of the indifference
of the Democratic voters to Parker.
Dem ocratic orators and newspapers
have ignored the arguments and CEN
tered their fight on local candidates.
The Democrats have not even at
tempted to ascertain how the state
stands on the national ticket. They
do not know whether Cornwell, the
Democratic nominee, will run 10000
ahead of Parker or $4,000. Apparent
ly they do not care. The race question
has oeen forced to the front sufficient

Commissioners Would Make Poor
Farm More Nearly So.

The county commissioners have de-
cided that the county poor farm must
be more productive and more nearly
self-supporting, and next spring more
of the land than has ever before been
cultivated will be planted to crops.
This winter the commissioners will
have men at work clearing off some of
the land on the poor farm which has
grown up to underbrush. Tie newly
cleared land will be plowed and plant
ed. The poor farm has never been
made to bring in any great returns
and the commissioners have thought
of many ways to make it help pay for
the care of the poor at the home. The
commissioners once thought of having
a herd of sheep or goats but gave up
that idea. Now the land will all be
used for gardens and pastures.

Not the Slightest Doubt of Election of
Higgins, Says the Senator.

New York, Nov. S.-Senator Thorn
as c. Plat, upon leaving his office
for his home at Highland Mills, in
Orange county, expressed it as his con-
fdent opinion that the Republican
state ticket would be surely elected.
He said:
at is apparent to even the casual
political observer that the outlook for
Republican success in our state has
been growing brighter day by day for
the past three weeks.
eff there was at any time the slight
est doubt in the mind of any Repub-
lican as to the probability of our elect
ing our state ticket. it must have been
dispelled by the events of the past few
weeks. We have rolled UP our sleeves
and pitched in to make Higgins cleo
ton as governor sure
