JEFF WANTS a FIGHT.
Finds It Rather Dull Lying Around
Doing Nothing,

New York, Feb. 2.-Says James JEFF
fries: Should the proposed battle be-
tween Tom Sharkey and Jack Munroe,
which viii IN all probability take place
in Philadelphia, end in knockout, L
will meet the winner for the champion
ship. It's rather slow lying around
doing nothing, and 1 would just as lief
get back into the game. Although
easy play, I would rather be at work
on the road or in the gymnasium than
doing nothing. AS for my next OPP
ponent, l am not particular as to whom
l shall meet, so long as he is entitled
to a match and will draw the money.
1t is up to the public to say who they
would like to have me meet. AS for
Johnson, I will pass him up. There
would be no money in it for me to fight
him. He failed to put Ferguson out,
and there is where the public would
draw the line.
In regard to Munroe and Sharkey,
they can fight it out between them,
and then let the winner step up and
take his medicine. BY defeating Shar-
key in six rounds Munroe would show
that he is entitled to some considera-
ton. Sharkey is a tough proposition,
and it would take a pretty good man
to best him. Therefore L figure that II
MunrOe can prove his superiority over
the sailor, the public will be convinced
that he should get a return match with
me. 1 would much prefer to see Mum
roe and Sharkey come together IN a
15-round battle. 1t would surely mean
that there would be a knockout. If
they come together at Philadelphia, it
would not surprise me to see a knock
out. don't think Munroe is the hitter
that he is cracked up to be. Sharkey
I know can hit hard blow. He IS
strongSand dangerous at any point, and
if he don't finish Munroe in less than
six rounds the latter's chance of win
ming will be much brighter.
| saw Munroe last week for the first
time since his encounter with me at
Butte. I would not know him in the
street, but he seems to be a big, strong
fellow. From what 1 understand, he
has improved considerably over his
form of a year ago. and there are many
persons who believe that he has good
chance to defeat Sharkey. That re-
mains to be seen. On form, favor
Sharkey. He is more experienced and,
as said before, he has the blow that
will do the trick If it gets to the mark.

REDS LOSE NEW INFIELDER.
Rheumatism Leaves Young Dear
mond q Helpless Cripple

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 2.-The Cincin-
natl Baseball club in all probability will
be compelled to find new substitute
infielder to take the place of Charles
De Almond, the crack player secured
last season from Terre Haute. De Ar
mond, according to a letter received by
Business Manager Bancroft today, is
entirely incapacitated by reason of
severe attack of rheumatism, which has
left him helpless cripple. He has been
spending the winter at his home in
Hamilton, Ohio, undergoing medical
treatment, which. however, has not had
the desired effect
In his letter De Almond says he can
not get his coat on or off by himself
and is practically helpless. He states
he desires to go to Martin Springs,
Texas, for treatment and asks the club
to send a friend with him to assist him.
In conclusion he says he hopes the
treatment will be successful, so that he
can give the team his best services and
repay the money expended for his as
sistant. Manager Kelly had relied on
De Almond to fill Almost important posi-
ton in the infield, and the news of his
present condition will cause keen dis
appointment. Great things were ex-
pected of e Almond during the coming
season. He is very fast on his feet and
q good strong batsman.

Horse Turns somersAult.

The driving horse of E. P. Burris
achieved a wonderful gymnastic feat
Yesterday afternoon. The horse was
harnessed to a buggy and hitched on
East Main street. He stood very pa
tiently for awhile, but when no one was
looking he took advantage of the oppor
tunity to turn a complete somersault in
the shafts. How he did it. no one
knows, but when the spectators CHANGED
to look his way again there was the
horse standing with his tail where his
head ought to have been and vice
versa. The horse has always conduct
ed himself in a dignified manner here
tofore and his master is unable to ae-
count for it's sudden departure from the
paths of virtue. Both shafts in the
buggy were broken and the harness
more or less damaged

JACK o'NE1LL's POPULARITY.
Petitions Circulated in st. Louis to
Have Him Retained on Team.

ST. Louis Mo, Feb. 2.-The petition
for the retention of Jack O'Neil on the
Cardinals this season, which started
with so signers, is now grown to a doc
ument of Importance. Rather, there are
several documents circulating, the total
number of rames reaching several hun
bred. Instead of mailing the petition,
it is possible a fund will be raised to
pay the expenses of a representative
who will wait on Frank De Haas Robi-
son In person.
The demonstration is unique and is
attracting considerable attention. Most
ball players, however, consider that the
sole result of it will be merely compli-
mentarys to O'Neil, and expect nothing
to come of it. O'Neil is valuable and
popular but his presence on the team
is considered of less value to it than a
really first class pitcher.

event the gathering cannot fail to be
notable, as the family includes many
persons of prominence.
Should the national family reunion
idea spread, as it gives indication of
doing, the coming Worlds fair will be
notable as the host of such gatherings.
Special programmes are to be arranged
inside the exposition grounds for the
family reunion, and in some instances
there will be a large hall filled exclus-
lively with the members of the family
celebrating on that day.
A local wag has uttered the observa-
ton that if the Smith family should
hold reunion, with all the members
present, the secretary of ceremonies
might have to assign two or more days
to the gathering, so that The Smiths
could divide up and all get in, for the
Worlds fair grounds are only two
miles long by one mile wide.

HELP SCARCE IN SOLOMON.
New Chicken House Takes All Avail
able Workers.

Solomon, Kan, Feb. 2.-This town
which has successfully passed through
the flood and other great catastrophes
is now threatened with one of the
greatest famines in its history and it is
probable that the town will sink out Of
existance like a snow fake on the
bosom of the treacherous Smoky. The
outlook for large crops of wheat is very
bright and it is possible if the right
weather prevails there will also be some
corn. But the famine that is threaten
ing the town is in the hired girl way

ARE AGAINST THE ROADS.
The Kansas Stockmen to Make War
Against Certain Combines

Against G6Eta1a GOu Dln96.
salina, Feb. 2.-The stockmen of CEN
trail and western Kansas are up in
arms against the railroads and the
combines which have decreased the
value of live stock to such an extent
as to make their business unprOhta BILE
The stockmen, farmers and shippers
have stood the present condition of af-
fairs as long as they feel that they
can afford to do so and action has now
begun in many of the counties in the
stock-raising districts to arrange Tor
war against the corporations which are
held responsible for the present condi-
ton of things. New organizations of
farmers and StockInen are being form
ed in the different counties and the IN
terest in the old organizations is being
revived.
The principal method of warfare will
be through the legislative bodies of the
state. Saline county has already start
ed the fight, which probably will be ia
ken up by the stockmen's associations
in a majority, if not ALL of the counties
in the central and western portions Of
Kansas. Saline's two candidates will
receive the support Of all the people
who might be benefited in the change
of present methods which the shippers
are compelled to stand for. The Saline
County Livestock association will sup
port Thomas Anderson, the present
mayor of Salina and president of the
associate for state senator from the
Saline-Ottawa district; also c. j.
Kirkland, member of the association,
the present representative from Saline
county. These two men will be elected
giving the stockmen and farmers two
members, at least. who will work in
/ their interest.
Never was so much interest dis
played in years as is now for the or
ganization of stoekmen. Besides re-
dueing prices of the farmers product
the live stock merger has made a num-
Der of minor changes which do not
meet with the approval of the shippers
For instance, the Kansas City exchange
recently became a member of the Ma
tional Live Stock exchange. One rule
of this national body provides that
there shall be no more local solicitors
or agents of commission houses; an
other that the shippers and cattle deal
ers shall pay their own telegraph and
telephone bills. Meal tickets are now
denied the shippers and the railroads
have refused them return transporta-
ton. All of these things, in connection
with the low prices which they receive
for their stock, have compelled the
stockmen to revolt.
Another very important matter is to
be fought out with the railroads. There
is general complaint of high rates and
unsatisfactory service. The railroads.
realizing that they have had the ship
pers at their mercy, furnish little or no
accommodations. These matters will be
taken up with the railroads through the
state board of railroad commissioners.

and shippers hope to control this fall
