has set the whole state thinking and
talking. Capt. Marsten confidently
believes has has discovered the secret.
and declares he has found the remedy

coRBETT DEFEATS MowATr.
Given Decision over the Fighting Car
 Conductor,

Chicago. April 2.-Young Corbett was given the decision over Tommy Mowatt. the fight ing street car conductor. after six rounds of fast fighting at the waveriy Athletic Club tonight.
 To win by knockout if possible, Corbett started after Mowatt as soon as they shaped up for the first round and endeavored in every possible way to bring the contest to q speedy end. Mowatt appeared tinid at first and Corbett had things all his way during the first three minutes. but from that time on the Chicago man stood his ground and swapped punches with the former champion.
 Although the latter invariably had the better of each rally, still Mowatt reached Corbett with powerful swings both to the body and the jaw. Corbett the stronger of the two. however. and Mowstt was compelled to break ground in in nearly every rally. Cor bett had the better of every round with the ex- ception of the third. In the third Mowatt reached Corbetts jaw with numerous right uppercuts and lefts. and the Denverite wore a serious look as he went to his corner. Dur ing the next three rounds. however, Corbett steadily gained tho upper hand and undoubt- edly would have finished his opponent had the contest been much longer.
 The winner was challenged by Near of Milwaukee. Kid Goodman of Boston and Abe Attel of San Francisco.

Worth Thinking Of.

NoW 4Ork Times.
 The case of Michael Farley is one which should give the intelligent wage earner a topic for profitable thought He was skilled workman, with especial cx- perience in operating the hoisting ma chinery for lifting steel shapes and other structural materials to the upper floors of high buildings. Three weeks ago he was pulled of his job" by waikine delegate. Every morning since then he had reported at the work he abandoned. hoping that some arrangement satisfac- tory to the arbiters of his destiny had been reached which would permit him to resume profitable industry. On Wednes- day morning he received permission to go to work again, which he did gladly. since by his own admission he had not had other food for three days than such scraps as he could find in the street. He went to work with enthusiasm. rejoicing in the opportunity, but before his first day was finished he dropped dead Priva. tion had so enfeebled him that his vital powers failed under the strain of labor. and he was carried home to his hur gry wife. for whom want and privation are thus made permanent
 It should need no argument to show that there Is something wrong with a system which imposes such sacrifies up- on those obedient to it's rules. If the wives of the mechanics connected with the building trades who are now planning to keep their homes and feed their chil- dren could be heard from in mass meet ing they might say some things which 1t would profit their husbands to ponder.

SMITH AND RIDDLE.
Candidates Engage in Joint Debate
 at Lafavette

&G LnxuyctJ6.
 Lafayette April 2-Saturday at II o'clock Hons. D. H. Riddle of Coosa County and Walter g. Smith of Clay County candidates for Congress. met in joint debate at the court house in this county. They were introduced by Armistead Brown.
 Mr. smith opened in speech of about forty-hve minutes and Mr. Riddle spoke about the same length of time. There was a small audience. seventy-five or one hundred Both speakers were accorded the best of attention. but there was very little Iemonstration. MT. smith spoke in a quiet. reserved manner. de- voting himself to expcunding the reasons why he should be sent to Congress Mir. Riddle spoke in a humorous vein and. at various times. his sparkles of wit met with applause. Both speakers seemed impressed with tho fact that Hefin was the most formidable op- ponent and turned their batteries loose on him.
 Armistead Brown. q practicing attorney of this city, has been urged by his friends to offer as a candidate for delegate to the Ma tional Convention from the Fifth congression- al District. The Fifth is entitled to two delegates. Mir. Brown has always been a loyal Democrat and, though young man. has taken an active interest in politics. He states that his personal preference for Presi- dent is Judge Alton B. Parker. He is con- sidering the matter but has not fully de- cided as to whether he will be Q candidate. It is very likely that he will offer.
 Saturday morning about 8 o'clock . small dwelling house in the eastern part of town was destroyed by fire. The building belonged to Mrs S. E. James and was occupied by ne groes. The house and contents were total loss. The occupants escaped as the house was falling in.
