CONDITIONS IMPROVE
Nelson County, N. D., Will Harvest
Splendid Crops.

Special to The Journal. .. .- -.
Lakota, N. D., Aug. 1.-THE crop
condition continues to improve from
day to day. For ten days the weather
has been ideal, with the result that
crops Of all kinds have made most
gratifying progress. There has been
moisture in abundance, but not suffi-
cient to cause damage. The entire
situation is said to have never been
better.
Late-sown wheat is coming along
nicely and it is thought that all of it
will mature before frost. Some of the
very late fax may not mature unless
Of September. Barley and oats are be-
ing harvested and the yield is fully up
to expectations. The hay crop thru
out this locality, as nearly everywhere
in the state, is short owing to all
the sloughs being filled with water.

GIVES A FORTUNE
IN EVERY CITY
Remarkable Visitor Who Will
Soon Spend Month in
Minneapolis.

A peculiar and interesting character
is soon to visit Minneapolis, according
to report.
The man in question is L. T. Cooper,
president of the Cooper Medicine com
pany of Dayton, Ohio, who is fast ac-
quiring national reputation by his
eccentric philanthropic work and the
success Of formula which he owns and
sells.
/ To this formula he owes his success,
as he has amassed very large fortune
during the past two years by the sale
Of a preparation made from it.
Cooper spends his time travelling from
city to city introducing this prepare
ton and incidentally practicing lavish
and unique charitable works. He is
said to be a socialist, who believes in
sharing his profits with needy individ:
uals, and carries this theory into whole
sale effect wherever he goes.
It is stated that Cooper distributes
thousands of dollars annually among the
poor of such cities as he visits and in
the most unusual way.
Whether or not he intends to, follow
this custom in Minneapolis is unknown.
The date of his arrival has not been
ascertained as yet. -.
It is said that he remains in city
about thirty days, and that during that
time he becomes remarkably well known
to rich and poor alike.

Chicago, Aug. r. From statements
furnished by railroad general officials
of the granger lines. and reports from
special correspondents in the several

An ordinary amateur featherweight
boxer would have no chance with Neil.
Experienced professional fighters who
have boxed with Neil say that the ban
tan weight champion hits as hard as
a light weight. Judging from his record,
the cleve boxer, Jem Bowker, the Eng
lish champion bantam weight, turned
the trick. Johnny Regain, by clever
fighting, went twenty rounds to a draw
with Neil. 1t merely goes to show that
Neil is not invincible.
Hyland, however, is not IN ordinary
amateur featherweight champion. In
stead, he is an amateur as they go on
the Pacific coast. Boxing is a very
popular sport in the neighborhood of
Frisco. Promoters are not ove scrup-
ulouS. Amateur boxers out there are
nothing more than semiprofessiOnals.
Some do little else for a living besides
boxing, yet they live we'll, eat regularly
and dress in presentablefashion. Where
do hey get their money? They are Pa
cihc amateur boxers.
Hyland has appeared in forty-three
bouts. After his first couple of en-
gagements. which were in the bantam
weight class, it was apparent that he
was such a promising boy that it was
necessary to match him with men
weighing from 5 to Is pounds more than
himself, in order to secure opponents
for him.
In the majority of his bouts he knock
ed his opponents out, although none Of
the bouts in which he appeared were
scheduled for more than four rounds.
A rule of the A. A. u. states that any
boxer that appears in a public bout of
b. suspended. This n thing and the
fact that Hyland is a slugger, rather
a. clever boxer, will count against
him more than anything else.

Back home then came Neil He
claimed ne was robbed. He has not
appeared in a bout since.
Not long ago Neil came out with a
challenge to meet any three bantam
weight fighters in America in the same
ring. Nothing has come of the defy.
Gus Bezenah, the Cincinnati fighter,
tried to get on with him at Frisco, but
could not make connections, as Neil
has already been matched with Hy-
land.
By the general sporting public Neil
is thought to be a great little fighter,
in fact, almost invincible. He is I'M
