CORBEIT TO MEET BRITT
FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION is
MATCHED TO FIGHT WITH THE
CALIFORNIA LIGHTWEIGHT.
New York Sun Special Service.

San Francisco, Jan. IA confer
ence was held at Harry Corbett's last
evening between Willie Britt and
Champion Corbett, which resulted, in
arranging match between Jimmy
Britt and Corbett.
The conference lasted not more
than one minute, for CorbetL came to
Britt's terms, so anxious IS he to meet
the California lightweight. Corbett
agreed to fight at 1870 pounds at s s
o'clock. This is giving up one pound
by Corbett who has held out all
along for 1923 pounds at 6 p. m.
It was agreed that Graney should
be the referee and that the fight
should come off during February, but
the club was not selected. In fact.
it is expected that the fighters will
gain somewhat by competition for this
pugilistic plum, as it is the biggest
drawing card that could be presented
here, outside of the big heavyweights.
The men agree not to engage In
any fight before this match comes off,
but the date is left uncertain be-
cause the new board Of supervisors
has not yet granted permits for
fights. Manager Coffroth of the Hayes
Valley Athletic club will probably get
the fight, as he has already made a
bid for the fight for 100000, but the
fighters preferred percentage of re-
ceipts.
They have agreed to split the, purse,
65 per cent to the winner. and IS to
the loser. ..s
Harry Pollock, manager of Cham
pion Young Corbett, yesterday arrived
in Chicago on his way east.
Pollock says he is ready and will
ing to match the champion against
Benny" Yanger, the local feather
weight, If sufficient financial induce
ment can be offered. John Hertz
hangers manager, says a Chicago
CLUB has offered a $4,000 purse and
that he is willing to bet $4,000 on
the side. This, Hertz believes, is
large enough to tempt the champion
and he hopes in the near future tc
have articles signed for a meeting
between the two featherWights.

His Fears Realized.

A Georgia statesman says that
while he was in the shop of an op~
tician in Atlanta he once overheard
an amusing conversation between
the proprietor Of the establishment
and an aged darby who was just
leaving the place with pair of new
spectacles.
AS the old chap neared the door
his eye lighted upon most ex-
traordinary looking instrument con-
spicuously placed upon a counter.
The venerable negro paused for sew
eral moments to gaze in open
mouthed wonder at this thing, the
like of which he had never seen be-
fore. After a long struggle with his
curiosity he was vanquished. Turn
ing to the optician, he asked:
"What is it, boss ?"
'"That is an ophthalrnometer," re-
piled the optician in his gravest
manner.
"Sho," muttered the cd man to
himself as he backed out of the door,
his eyes still fastened upon the Gu
rious looking thing on the counter

All the railroads in. the territory
from Buffalo and Pittsburg west
TO the: IRsoc k 81 Mountains and South
west as faarr az as Texas have just;agreed
to run coach excursions at very low
rates to Saint Louis during the re-
mainder of the Fair.
From all points within 200 miles
of St. Louis excursions will be run
daily at half rates. From places be-
tween 200 and 500 miles from Saint
Louis excursions will be run five days
each week at the rate of a cent a
mile. This rate will also be made
twice week from Colorado, Wyom-
ing aud the Dakotas.
For no previous Fair we're such
favorable rates and arrar gements
made by voluntary agreement of the
railroads. The Columbian Expo
si,ion taught the railroads two
lessons at once--that very low rates
caused big increase in the number
of visitors to the Fair but big de-
crease in the revenue from the reg
ular passenger traffic. In consider
ing rates for the Saint Louis Fair
tie first question of the railroads was
how to make rates low enough to
attract people to the exposition with
ont permitting others to take ad-
vantage of those rates.
All other efforts in the past have
failed to prevent persons intending
/, to travel but one way, from buying
round trip excursion ticket and SELL
ing the return coupons to "scalpers"
The railroads evolved thu idea of
having all brokers enjoined by the
courts from buying or selling any
tickets issued at reduced rates on
account of the Fair. The railroads
promised lie business mon of Saint
Louis they would make satisfactory
rates to the Fair if the injunctions
against the brokers were secured.
The injunctions were issued and
satisfactory rates were adopted by
the railroads.
Facing financial failure of the
Fair because of the small attendance,
its managers appealed to the rail
roads for furth 9r concessions in rates
AID more favorable arrangements
By promptly granting the request
the railroads have shown that cheaper
rates for fairs, conventions ard
other ig events will be made when
ticket "scalping" is impossible than
when the railroads are forced to
guard against the demoraliza ion of
their regul,r traffic By brokers,

HAIR TONICS.
Remedies That the BaIdheaded Man
Was Advised to Try.

Remedies nat the 6aioneaoeo war
Was Advised to Try.
"Take half a dozen white pota.
toes,' said the barber, 'and pare
them lengthwise, from end to end
instead of crosswise, as is usual
Boil them in a quart of water. Drain
the water off into bottle and ado
a teaspoonful of salt. This liquid
this simple compound of boiled po-
tato water and salt, will, if it is
rubbed into the scalp three times
a week, change thin, moth eaten
head of hair into thick and vigor-
Gus crop"
The bald listener laughed.
'CPotato water is a new one" he
said scornfully.
"New and fine" returned the bar
Der. EDO you see how good my hair
is? Well, | was nearly as bald as
you are once. | used potato water
three times week for three months.
Look at the result
CPL tell you some of the tonics
that have been recommended to
me-" said the baldhead.
''First, coal oil-coal oil rubbed
into the scalp every night before
retiring. Can you imagine any man
sinking a coal oil drenched head
among his pure white pillows?
''Sage tea. | made some sage tea
once, and the mixture had so vile
and forbidding look that l could
Lot apply it.
'Onion juice. That no doubt is
a good tonic. But what would my
friends say if | should always be
thrusting under their noses a head
scented with onions?
''Black molasses. A Kentuckian
actually advised me last year to try
black molasses.
"Hemlock soap and vinegar. That
is a tonic that Maine barber swears
by. Seaweed and apple seeds boiled
in sea water is sailors recipe. Dan
delion tea, plaintain tea and tea
made of honeysuckle are the tonics
that a Boston masseur suggested to
me. "-Washington Post.

Close Call For Jacob.

Harcourt sat in his office discuss
ing with friend his plans for an
old fashioned Christmas at his
grandfather's in the country. Just
then a messenger boy brought in a
telegram; it was from the grand
father.
''Barns all burned last night.
Only house and smoke house saved, :"
it read.
Harcourt looked gloomy for a
moment. Then his face lighted up.
'Anyway,' he cried, Jacob, the
pig, is safe! They cut him up and
cured him before Thanksgiving"
''1'hat's good" exclaimed his
friend. ''Jacob must be thankful
that he ESCAPED the fire."

..1faVhen to Drink IL and the Effects II
Will Produce.

ssFEWhen to Drink II and the ETeces y
3 Will Produce.
l. Drink. a glass Of water when you
zssget ontsof BED in the morning. New:
.er mind the size of the glass. Let
the water be cold if you will. Some
people prescribe hot water, but that
isn't necessary. You may have
washed your face already and rel.
ished the experience. You may have
taken a cold plunge into the tub
and delighted in the shock and its
reaction. The brisk use of the tooth
brush has left your mouth clean
and the breath sweet. But you are
dirty still. Drink a glass Of cold
water and enjoy the sensation OF
being clean inside. All that is lux.
furious in the cold bath cleansing
the outside is artificial. That which
should prompt the glass of water
after sleeping is natural. As test.
tell the nine-year-old protestant
against his morning scrub of cold
water that he may escape it by
drinking half a pint of the fluid,
He will jump at the opportunity.
Sleep has drawn upon the water
in the blood, and the instinct of the
animal under natural conditions is
to replenish the circulatory system
and distend the blood vessels anew
The food in the stomach which had
so much to do toward inducing
sleep has disappeared, leaving
mucous substance in the alimentary
canal. Yet man would wash his
face and leave these half clogged
. canals do the duties of another day
Drink a glass of cold water in the
name of cleanliness. It becomes
one of the shortest and easiest OF
toilet duties. It is swallowed in g
second, and in five minutes it has
passed from the stomach, taking
with it the clogging secretions OF
the alimentary tracts. 1t has left
behind the stimulus that goes with
cold water, and by filling the arte.
rial system to the normal it puts q
spur to the circulation that has
grown sluggish in the night. It is
one Of the greatest of awakeners
and one of natures own stimulants
Drink a glass Of water before
breakfast, another before luncheon
and another before dinner. Water
is the best, cheapest and pleasantest
.medicine.-Chicago Tribune.

WHAT Is ELECTRICITY?
An Enigma Whose Solution Is Puzzle
to the Scientists.

What is electricity? First we must
ask what is positive electricity? and
the answer is we do not know. For
myself / do not even guess, beyond
:supposing it to be mode of mani
festation or differentiated portion
of the continuous and all pervading
ether. It seems to exist in Jumps
the size Of the atoms of matter, and
no portion Of it less in bulk than
an atom has ever been isolated or
appears likely to be isolated. But,
although it may have bulk, it ap-
pears as if it had no appreciabIe
mass; the massiveness or inertia Of
the atom is probably due TO some
thing else, in fact to the possession
of negative charges in equal amount.
This part of the doctrine is not yet
certain. More investi cation is urg-
emily needed into the meaning and
properties of positive electricity.
Meanwhile we shall only be follow
ing the lead Of Professor j. J.Thom-
son if we assume that a unit of posi-
tive electricity has massiveness Tor
what is often i1laccurately called
Gweight'' either zero or very small,
zmosst probably very small; perhaps
sabout 1 per cent of the mass of
some atoms of matter may be due
to the positive electricity which
they contain.
But concerning negative cleo
tricity we know great deal more.

In Saturdays issue of the h. dependent E. l.. Boyce an- nounced himself as a candidate for the Democratic nomination to the office of county and pro- bate judge. There is hardly a more popular man in Jackson county than is MT. Boyce, and he will undoubtedly be a strong candidate. With an efficient record as a public official he has an equally desirable source of strength in an affable nature. He has ever been accommodate ing to and considerate of others and his high sense of honor ought to insure a good adminis- tration of the office he seeks in the event of his election.

FRUSTRATED BURGLARY. !.

The store of R. w. Anderson at Jacksonport was entered last Wednesday night by some un- known white man and would have been burglarized had it not been for a fortunate call made upon the proprietor about 1 o'clock that night by Joe Bridger.
 The latter had come for medi- cine and upon going to the store MT. Anderson found key in the door from the inside. As he was going around to the rear en- trance the burglar escaped by the front door. He drew a revolver on MT. Bridger and made good his escape by running.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Jan. 6. At a meeting of the city council held Monday night measures were taken to investigate the condition of several public build ings in the city, notably the new Elks' theatre, the Merrill Insti- ute and the two leading hotels of the city.
 Fire Chief Francis in his an- nual report recommended this action and suggested that suit able ordinances be passed. The council, with the Chicago horror in their minds, concurred with him, and it was moved that the city attorney be authorized to draft such ordinances as would cover the matter. At the next meeting of the council the ordi- nance will be introduced and doubtless adopted.
