GOOD BOUTS ARE PROMISED
JOE ROBERTSON HAS CONTRACT
ON HAND TO STOP RLAckEN.
SHIP TONIGHT.
Heavyweight Is Sansuine That He
Will Be There at the End-Roqers
and Stone to Mix 1t.

Whether Ed Blackenship has cham
pionship stuff in him as heavyweight
pugilist will be decided tonight when
he steps into the ring and faces Joe
Robertson, the colored middleMeigh
at the Walla Walla Athletic club in a
six-round bout for the gate receipts,
but whether he can do it or not is a
question. While not very we'll versed
in pugiIism as to science, Blackenship
is hard puncher and what is more he
is willing to mix it on the least prov
ocation. Fight fans are looking for
ward to a bruising battle.
Jolly Rogers has taken the contract
of stopping Ed Stone, another big
heavyweight in six rounds. Stone met
Robertson a few months ago, but was
down and out before ne was fairly
warmed up. Since then Stone has en-
gagged in a few ring battles and is
confident that the little colored fighter
cannot stop him in six rounds.
Manager Hastings announces that
the bouts will be pulled off commencing
at SIS.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that's by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition. hearing viii

of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

SIX HUNDRED AND FORTY ACRE
BILL NEARING PASSAGE BY
THE HOUSE.
Representative Martins Homestead
Measure Will BE Considered BY
the Present Congress.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-Repre-
sentatives Martin and Burke won a
partial victory in their fight to Sc
cure the passage of the formers $40
acre homestead bill. Speaker Cannon
recognized Martin at the opening of
the session and ne moved to suspend
the rules and pass the bill. Martin,
Burke and others made speeches in
it's favor and Miller of Kansas, in op-
position, the latter bearing strongly on
the adverse report Of Secretary Hitch
cock, tine minority report of the COM
mittee and the opposition of the pub
lie land commission, whose second
report was submitted to congress last
week.
By agreement with members inte-
rested in naval appropriations, the dis
cussion was suspended and Martin
moved to make the bill the continuing
order until disposed of. The motion
was adopted, 10 to 81. This means
that the bill will be considered at odd
moments during the remainder of the
session. South Dakota congressman
are sure they will put it through the
house and say there is an even chance
of it's going through the senate.

NEGAUNNEE, Mich, Feb. 24.-Pol-
itics have little to do with the selection
of the judges VINO preside on the
bench in the various circuits made up
be true in a measure that because the
district as whole is overwhelmingly
republican, the republicans are in each
case permitted to designate the man
who is to wear the ermine. but the
fact remains that in late years the ten
dency of keeping the bench on a nom
partisan plane has been recognized in
both parties until it mas practically be-
come a settled palicy. This is more
than ever the situation at the present
time, when the nominations are being
made, and in none of the four circuits
in politics.
In the circuit comprising HoughtGu,
Baragtand Keweenaw counties Judge
Streeter of Houghton has already been
placed in nomination to succeed him.
self The same procedure has been
enacted in the case of Judge Norman
Hatre of Ironwood, presiding in the
circuit comprised of GOgeble and On
tonagon counties, and in the eastern
portion of the peninsula Judge Steere
of Sault Ste. Marie will shortly be
named as his own successor in the cir
cult of which Chippewa, Schoolcraft,
Luce and Alger counties each form a
part.
In the circuit over which Judge j. w.
Stone of Marquette presides, cOmpris-
ing the counties of Marquette, Memo

novel spectacle will be presented of the
two parties literally uniting in a love

the democrats will indorse him, fol-
lowing which there will be joint rat

QUESTION OF SELECTING NEW

DISCUSSION.
Third Ward Voters Suggest Several
Property Owners for the Vacancy

There is likely to be lively contest
over the election of a member of the
council from the third ward to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of the

There are said to be many receptive
candidates and if that should be the
case it will probable necessitate the
taking of several ballots before some
one is chosen. Under the city charter
when vacancy occurs in any Of the
positions Of councilmen the council has
the power to declare the Office vacant
and to elect some elector of the city to
fill the place.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Lovers of ice
sports flied the ST. Nicholas rink this
afternoon at the opening of the annual
figure skating championship. under
the auspices of the Amateur Skating
association of the United States. The

known to fancy skaters.
An international flavor is given to
this years competition by reason of
the fact that UlricR Salchow, of Swe-

among the competitors. Probably the
most formidable competitor of the

PULPIT MADE PRISONERS DOCK.
Courthouse In Danger Of Collapse Un-
der Crowds at the Trial.

DIES MONIES, Feb. 24.-The pulpit
of the Y. M. C. A. building has be-
come a prisoners dock.
The enormous crowd this morning
of Parles Thomas for the murder of
Mabel Scofield caused grave apprehen-
sion that the courthouse. a temper
airy structure would collapse and on
the advice of competent architects,
Judge Mickey issued an order trans
ferring the trial to the auditorium of
the Y. M. c. A. building.
This was done over the protest of
defendants attorneys, who say it was
prompted by desire to satisfy the de-
mand of the public to hear the trial
and it is to the advantage of the pros
ecution for the reason that the pres
ence of a throng will be construed by
the jury as evidence Of popular senti-
ment against the prisoner. The court
house corridors, as well as the trial
room, were damned with people all
striving to hear the evidence, and the
courthouse was actually in danger of
collapse.
Dr. Shone. who conducted the au-
topsy over the remains, testified that
not a drop of water was found in the
girls lungs, as would have been the

HAS KICKED THE LAST
TIME.
Done Duty for Uncle Sam for Thirty
one Years at Fort WaiIa
WalIa.

AS a matter of news the mere state
ment that an army mule has died will
hardly create more than a passing
notice and comment but yesterday
morning when Trainmaster Timothy
Hallahan, of Fort Walla Walia
entered the quartermasters stables,
ne discovered that one of the many
mules quartered there had departed
this vale of sorrow and passed into the
great beyond, some time during the
night.
A closer inspection revealed the fact
that it was Jumbo" Now to the UNI
initiated, who might be led to believe
we were speaking of the late p. T
Barnum's elephant prodigy. this Jum-
DO for the last ten months has been
one of the features of the garrison.
He was purchased by the government
in 1873 and for 81 years he never has
missed a days work. About ten
months ago he began to stiffen and
contrary to all precedent the quarter
master general, instead of having him
condemned and sold as is usually done
with decrepit and diseased animals,
actually had old Jumbo retired and he
was given an extra ration of food
every day. He was free to go and
come when and where he pleased.
Jumbo's real age is not known but
he is thought to be somewhere around
"a years Of age. Down at Fort Ogel-
thorpe, in Georgia, there is another
pensioned mule whose military career
dates back to the closing days of
the rebellion and is as eventful as that
of Jumbo's, who crossed the plains in
1876 with a portion of the Seventh
cavalry.
