The Passing of Dave Hill

The high plumed hat of the leader which erstwhile
lowered in the forefront of battle and led the way hangs
torn and battered, and the legend II democrat
droops to the floor
David Bennett Hill departed this life of politics. JAN
i, 1905
After fe's ftful fever he sleeps we'll.
And, look on the corpse, let remember that in
stinct of humanity which bids speak nothing but good
of the dead
Along with many faults and failngs this man. who
Set the date of his political Demise had many friends
Hispalm itched with bride He not mcr-
cenary He boss only by the combination of domi-
nant intellect and ceaseless devotion to a cause.
He played the game of politics because he liked it and
he knew all the tricks. What find in society and
others in philanthropy and others nthe pursuit of wealth
he found in politics.
The democratic party never had more Jealous dew
otee than David B. Hill He gave to it lifetime of devo
ton and service From boy he followed it's fortunes
through good and evil report He too busy to do
thing else He busy in his worship of his
party to get married.
His ideas not perhaps the highest He aimed at
He must be judged from his point of view He
was faithful
Hill coveted power for the sake of his party He did
much for Office the rewards of Office He wanted
to press the BUTTON hold the lever and direct
to succeed.
Fro myour standpoint and mine he has missed nearly
all the really good things of life.
But
If he is really dead politically (and those who have
had to do with the methods of the opossum will
lily in the presence of the corpse) let say of him
According to his lights and leadings David Bennett
Hill faithful to that which he held best and highest

No sentiment of the presidents message APP
pauded by the business interests of the country than that
contained in the words printed herewith
And with these words before let submit few facts
to a candid world:
In hearing before the interstate commission
last week. w. B. Bddle, traffic manager of the Santa Fe
railway, admitted that his railroad had Disseminated
secrey-by of rebates-n favor of the Colorado
Iron and Fuel company. This rebateput by Mr. Biddle
under the name of ''private permted the big
corporation to crush its rivals which did the
benefit of such private contracts.
No such bareaced confession of the violation Of the law
has ever heretofore been made.
But this is not the worst.
Mr. Bddle at the time he granted this rebate to the
Colorado company under Paul Morton then head of
the traffic department of the Santa Fee This is the
Paul Morton who is a member of President Roose-
velt's cabinet.
But and more of it
Mr. Morton quoted by correspondent Of the Chicago
Daily News (and he has not denied it) saying this:
Wha Mr.. Biddle did exactly right and if had been
in his place | should have done the thing
Now.
The president says cit is necessary to put complete
stop to all rebates.''
And member of the presidents cabinet says this was
''exactly right

What Corbett Thinks Of Ryan.

Tommy Ryan has been the subject
of q great deal of unfavorable criti-
cism of late because of the set-to
with Root at Philadelphia. However,
I will stick by the statement that
many have no doubt heard me make:
think Ryan for his weight and
height, the greatest fighting machine
l have ever seen. He has everything
that the words ring generalship"
include He has a wonderful punch
for lad his size. He carries sleep
tablet in both fists, and when he is
right. he is the ideal fighter.
I shall never forget the first time
I saw Ryan. I was on my way east
from Frisco and stopped of in Chi
cago. l met Lou Houseman, who
insisted that I put on the gloves
with q youngster who had plenty
of promises and was willing to work.
We made our way to an old fire
engine house where a little gymna-
SUM had been fitted up for Ryan

That Cast Iron Stomach Of Jeff's.
Champion Jefferies can stand more
punishment than any two fighters
that ever stepped into the ring. No
matter what part of his anatomy you
pick out to attack. he gives you the
same cordial reception. So wonderful
is it's ability to take punishment
that l believe he could knock out
half the heavyweights in the coun-
try without doing much fighting him
self.
l shall not forget the first expert
ence l had with him in this line. 1t
was on the occasion of our first bat
tie at New York. My trainers and
had studied his makeup and his
methods of fighting as closely as
men possibly could. We came to
the conclusion that his stomach was
the one point that would affect him
if it could be reached. OF course,
his crouch had to be taken into con-
sideration, but we thought it was
possible to get to him. For weeks
l practiced infghting and landing
blows on the solar plexus.
When l stepped into the ring at
Coney Island l had my mind made
up to spend a great deal of time and
attention on the big fellows bellows
and if possible beat him down.
This is just what Jefferies wanted
Blow after dow reached his stomach
and my seconds kept telling me to
keep it up. l was hitting him regu-
lar. But. to my establishment, he
kept coming at me with as much
energy as ever. He did not seem to
mind my blows at all. Finally
landed a terrific punch that would
have taken the fight out of any other
man for a short time at least. Jeff
smiled and pretended to be hanging
on, and the first thing 1 knew he
sent one back to me with interest.
1 heard one of the seconds say: "If
Corbett keeps that up long, it will
be all over sure" Well, 1 was wise
enough to see that my tactics weren't
getting what l expected, so l began
directing my attention to other parts
of his enormous body.
Since then l have learned that
Jim's stomach is practically unhurt-
able. He has given conclusive proof
that the organism of his stomach is
perfect.
Another thing about Jefferies'
makeup that always caused me a
great deal of amusement. His jaw
has never been affected by swing
or a blow. In all his fights he has
received as many blows ON the jaw
as he gave Those blows hurt the
audience more than they hurt him.
Fitz landed on him time and time
again with those heavy swings. but
to the best of my knowledge the big
fellows head has never been knocked
back.

LIVE STOCK
CONVENTION

DENVER, Col, Jan. 10-The annu-
al convention of the National Live
Stock association was formally open
ed here today, the initial session be-
ing devoted to the exchange of greet
ings and the work of organization.
The roll call showed a large and rep
resentative attendance.
The convention, which will be in
session during the remainder of the
week, promises to be the most i'm
portant held by the association since
1t was organized in this city a decade
ago. While legislative and other
public questions in which the stock
raisers are interested will be dis
cussed, the principal business Of the
convention will be to revise the con-
stitution and bylaws of the associa-
ton so as to admit to membership
others than those actively engaged in
stock raising. Heretofore the men,
bership has been strictly confined to
the stock raisers themselves, but 1t
is now felt that the interests of all
concerned could be better subserved
by taking in all who are concerned
directly or indirectly to the live
stock industry. To this end it is
probable that the bylaws will be
changed so as to admit not only the
breeders of all kinds of live stock,
but commission men, packers, rail-
road transportation officials and
others.

and other fighters. His manner at
tracted my attention and ! determined
to give him a good trying out If
ever | was surprised, it was on this
occasion. Ryan had not been taught
much, but intuitively he was a fight
err In other words he was born a
ring star. His showing was remark
able and I told Houseman then and
there that he had discovered a won
derful fighter.
This talk about Ryan may sound
extravagant to some of the ring en-
thusiasts, but l believe almost any
fighter of prominence will bear me
out in this statement
The last time | saw Ryan was
when l was training for the last big
fight. He was then far from being
well man and as far as | know he
has never completely recovered.

A Beggar's Criticism of Corbett.

Fighters as a rule are the most
generous class in the world. Their
money comes in large punches and
they give it away and spend it free
ly. | remember, however, when
was given a severe calling down by
a beggar, while walking down Broad
way with an acquaintance one day.
L got into the habit that all lighters
do after l won from Sullivan at New
Orleans. I thought that every beg
gar ought to receive some attention,
and seldom passed one without hand
ing him a coin. On this occasion
L happened to strike a son of the
Emerald isle who was in hard straits.
1 ran my hand down into my pocket
for coin. l could not find anything
but penny and I did not have time
to get change for a ten dollar bill
the smallest and largest piece of
money l had in my pocket So 1
handed the old chap the coin He
took it and by this time my friend
was interested in him. How did
you come to be so poor?" asked nv
companion. The beggar replied "Ah,
madam 1T was because I reserhbled
your husband. 1 was too fond of
giving away large sums of money"

BLOOD

On account Of its frightful hideous-
ness, Blood Poisoning is commonly
called the King of All Diseases. It
may be either hereditary or contract
ed. Once the system Is tainted with
1t. the disease may manifest itself in
the form of Scrofula, Eczema, Rheu-
matte Pains, Stiff or Swollen Joints,
Eruptions or Copper Colored Spots on
the Face or Body. little Ulcers in the
Mouth or on the Tongue, Sore Throat,
Swollen Tonsils, Falling out OF the
Hair or Eyebrows, and finally Lep-
rous-like Decay OF the Flesh and
Bones. If you have any of these or
similar symptoms, get BROWNS
BLOOD CURE Immediately. This
treatment Is practically the result Of
life work. 1t contains no dangerous
drugs or injurious medicines of any
kind. 1t goes to the very bottom Of
the disease and forces out every par
ticle of impurity. Soon every sign
and symptom disappears, completely
and forever. The blood, the tissues,
the flesh, the bones and the whole
system are cleansed, purified and re-
stored to perfect health, and the pa
tient prepared anew for the duties
and pleasures of life. BROWNS

treat Interest in the Champions

Great interest was taken in fights
Is or Is years ago. I was just start
ing out in the game and naturally
was as much interested as any
youngster could be. I was not alone
however. Back in 1889 when John L.
Sullivan fought his memorable bat
tie with Jake Kilrain in the far-off
Mississippi valley, 1 was in a small
town in California where there was
nothing in those days but one-horse
telegraph station on a small railroad.
AS the time for the fight ap-
preached. the telegraph operator be-
came more important than any other
person in the country,
/ knew the hotel keeper at the
place and was one of the few who
was allowed to stand in the little
Sx6 telegraph office when the re-
turns were expected. Outsid, people
Tor miles around, crowded the little
place and looked at the operator, who
would be the first man to learn the
outcome of the battle.
No detailed report was received.
Noon rolled around and suddenly
the operator jumped from his chair,
exclaiming sullivan wins"
"A cheer went up from the crowd
as they heard the announcement.
