SAN FRANCISCO, March PC
There is considerable complaint heard
today about the decision of last night 5
fight, II is now thought that draw
would have been the proper result,
and the concensus of expert opinion is
that Young Corbett' will not lose
any great amount OF his former pres
tige.
The total receipts of the fight were
about $4,000, of which }Corbett will
get about little over 's11 900. This is
90 per cent for the winner and 50 for
The loser. The original articles were
changed by Corbett week ago, call
ing for go per cent If he lost and 30
per cent if he won. Had Corbett not
changed the articles he would have re-
celyed $19,2 200 as his share
The feeling is quite general today

Wall Paper, Painting, Etc

There is wide field presented in
home decoration, for both art and sci
ence combine to create the elegant
effects that please the eye and win the
admiration. The rapid advances made
in the wall paper business in recent
wears leave little for the housekeeper
to desire in identifying and embellish-
ing the home. Supplying the needs of
the community in all varieties of wall
decoration, the establishment of W. 2.
Baxter has become decidedly popular.
The vast stock Of samples carried gives
one an opportunity to secure any de-
sired pattern or effect, from variety
of shades and designs, and in an as
sortment of qualities that will accom-
modate every condition or purse. Mr..
Baxter buys his stock direct from the
factory at bedrock" figures, and is
thereby enabled to present to his pa
irons the most flattering inducements
in low prices. His 1904 styles are now
on exhibition, and if you notify him
he will gladly call at your home and
show you the brightest and most at
tractive designs in stripes, tapestries,
denims, metallics and other novelties
never before presented in Richmond.
He also executes contracts for house
and sign painting, and interior deco
ration in plain and water colors and

Modern photography represents the

fore. The subject of this sketch,
Louis Schlegel. has ever been on the
alert for new ideas and this is reflected
in his best work which is made to
compare favorably with that done in
the larger cities.
His twenty-six years experience in
Richmond has won for him the

ronage made up of Madison county's
most cultured people. All work

DOUGLAS & CULToN
Meat Market.

The system of wholesale slaughter
ing and shipping of meats, as con-
Quoted by the large establishments Of
the country, may have its adherents,
but that system that insures super
vision by those who live among us
and whose methods may be easily
discovered, are, and should be, the
most favored. Hence the preference
should unhesitatingly given to enter
prises which serve the public with
meats from native cattle. and to men
who supervise from pasture to coun-
ter scales every detail OF the business.
Such is the system enforced by Doug
las q Culton and the result is that
their wholesome and choice meats
find favor with an extensive patron
age.
Messrs. Douglas 4 Culton have fol-
lowed the butcher trade for years.
