STEIN WAS EASY

INFIGHTlNG FINALLY WON
Washington Boy Beat Opponent With
Jolts in Clinches-Jaw Not
nOc9 -o Well Protected

Kid Sullivan stopped Kid Stein in the
eighth round before the Eureka Club, in
Baltimore. last night, but had mcst
lively time
Stein was said 10 be two pounds neav-
Ter than Sullivan. and certainly did not
look any moro. He also had a -eputa-
ton for being vicious swinger and
lived up 10 it, He was one Of the easiest
propositions sullivan has had IN many
moons, but he was also the most
dangerous man lie has faced this year.
Knocked Sullivan Down
stein has a right swing which comes
over remarkably fast. and with it he
knocked Sullivan off his feet three times
Besides these loving attentions he got
that swing fun to Sullivan's head sew
eral times witt. such force that if the
blow had been planted in the right spot
the Washington boy would never have
known what happened IN rl.e next ten
seconds. The fact that Sullivan did not
20 out anyhow was a tribute to his
stamina and ability 20 take punishment.
Sullivan ssssss.S1 safe Before he fnngil. Stein
that he knew the Philadelphian had a
dangerous swing and that he would pre-
pare his defense especially for that blow
When they came together the proposed
defense went TO pieces and Sullivan s
friends were startled by the COMPARE
lively easy manner with which he fell a
victim TO STEMS style of fighting. If he
meets a really clever ma0 who has a
soporific swing like Terry McGovern,
Washingtons s pride in her favorite
scrapper is likely 10 receive a sudden
jolt that will require number of new
victories to restore. Stein put that
would-be haymaker to Sullivan's head
twice I'm succession in mikes, snd il he
had been blessed with more stamina he
would have landed the money.
Body Punches Won.
Sullivan won by body punishment
When they got to q clinch he sent in
punches to the stomach. which were so
severe Stein had to go to the floor TO
escape them The Philadelphian had a
strong head and neck, but extremely
weak legs and the pile-driver swats
sent TO his midrifT curled him up early
in the engagement ana showed that he
had no chance TO go the limit unless he
could knock out Sullivan.
The affair came to an end in the
eighth round when stein was on the
noof from thumpS in the breadbaSket
His seconds threw the sponEe into the
ring TO save him from a useless maui
ing.
Sullivan proved that he is stil there
with the goods in tther hand on the
aggressive, but the ease with which
Stein got to his Jaw with rather poor
boxing. was somewhat of a diappoint-
ment, and il behooves him TO protect
himself better II he is matched with

The Motor Car says: THE life OF
motor depends to n surprising extent up
on the treatment II receives Its failure
except as regards worn bearings, Is al
most Invariably due TO careless or rough
handling In some way rather than to
legitimate use. There Is little or no
choice between the two evils of racing
and laboring. both bringing about q
great deal OF wear and tear. and endan-
gering the working parts. Another evil
to be studiously avoided AT all times
is that OF running with too early igni-
tion. as this racks the parts and at the
same time detracts from the power.
Novel inventions are all the time
cropping up in the line Of motor-driven
vehicles. A man in Toledo. Ohio. has
perfected an automobile street sweeper
driven by a five horsepower electric
motor. 1t has been tested and found
very successful. and a company is now
being formed TO manufacture the ma
chine In two sizes. Another Westerner
this time from Grand Rapids Mich. has
invented and patented an automobile
which viii run on ice and snow as well
as the ordinary road. The car is placed
on runners or shoes and driven by spur
wheels located beneath the BODY which

RUNS INTO OPEN SWITCH.
No. 90 Wrecked at Goodetts, Tenn. Last
Sunday Morning-Two Persons In
jured.

At an early hour last Sunday
morning as the Chicago and Flor
ida limited, No. SO, was round
ing curve at Goodletts, Tenn,
a station fourteen miles north of
Nashville, it ran into an open
switch and collided with string
of cars that had been left stand
ing on the siding at that place.
Engineer James McGrath, of
Nashville, either jumped or fell
from the cab when the accident
happened and received injuries
that were thought to be fatal
but it is now said that he will re-
cover. Fireman Chas. Stanfield
jumped when he saw the danger
and escaped with slight injuries.
None of the passengers were in
jured. The train was running
about thirty miles an hour when
the accident occurred.
1t is thought that the switch
was opened by some one with the
intention of wrecking the train
and as two men were seen tam
perlng with it a short time be-
fore the train was due an effort
will be made to locate them.
Engineer McGrath formerly
lived in this city, bat has been
residing at Nashville for several
years.

VERY SUCCESSFUL MEETING ENDS.


Leitchfeld, KY, Oct. 3. The
seventh day of the conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, closed this afternoon at 3
o'clock and the conference adj
journed. The ministers and del
egates who attended the confer
ence expressed themselves as be-
ing grateful for the generous
hospitality extended to them by
the citizens of Leitchfield. The
Rev. F. M. Thomas, on behalf of
the conference, expressed the
thanks and gratitude of the
whole body for the hospitality
extended. This sentiment was
also voiced by Bishop Gambler on
behalf of the ministers and dele
gates. A statistical report was
read showing a splendid condi-
tion of the entire field covered
by the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, during the year.

Such has been the experience
of every country that has under
taken such a task, and will be
ours also under similar circum-
stances.
The time was, and not very
long ago. when it was a maxim
recognized and advocated by all
political parties, but especially
by the Democratic party, that
that country was best governed
that was least governed. Now
the tendency seems to be in the
opposite direction; for every i'll,
real or imaginary, from which
we may suffer, governmental re-
lief or control is sought. Much
good has been accomplished in
this way, but the pendulum
should not be allowed to swing
too far.
Liberty of trade and commerce
is the life that imparts compe-
tition and secures healthy and
vigorous development of our re-
sources. If it be unduly hamper.
ed and restricted greater evils
will result than any we are striv-
ing to escape.
All Glasses Interested.
At another timeI shall pursue
this subject further. My onl,
purpose now is to indicate the
serious character of what is pro
posed and the necessity for the
most intelligent aud conslderate
solution of the difficult problem
The Republican party is alive
to its duty in this respect an'
will not desist from its efforts
until it Las worked out the hes
possible results.
We have 2l2, 200 miles of rail
roads in the United States, an'
they have issued for their con
struction, equipment, improve
meut and maintenance $4,000,
1000, 900 in round numbers of rail
road bonds, stocks and othe
securities, most of which are nov
held by our own citizens.
| All classes of people and al
kinds of business are intereste'
in the subject and will be affect
ed, favorably or unfavorably, b.
whatever may be done. A falls
step might work the most ser
lious injury to the country's wei
fare and the peoples prosperity
tits not necessary to say tina
the Democratic party is incaI
able of satisfactorily dealin
with such complicated and dbl
ficult problem, because it is sui
} ficient for present purposes an
} more agreeable to say only tha
the Republican party is far bel
ter qualified for this most I'm
portant work.
If this be true we shall prov
unfaithful to ourselves if we d
not continue it in power, for
is our duty to all interests IL
volved and to the country as
whole to choose at this time, 9

Senator Foraker's Strong Arsu.
ment Against Regulation by

SPEAKS FOR LIBERTY OF
TRADE AND COMMERCE
All Classes OF People and Kinds OF Bust
ness win Be Affected.

The utterances of Senator For
aker, on the question of govern
mental regulation of railroad
freight rates, in recent speech,
are so forceful and reasonable
that we publish them in full as
follows:
During the last eight years the
freight business of the country
has doubled in volume. In con
sequence there has been and is
now congested condition every.
where with respect to the trans
portation of freight, and the
railroads in consequence have
been driven to the necessity OF
lowering grades, strengthening
curves, enlarging tunn e ] $,
Strengthening bridges, multiply
ing equipment and increasing
native power to enable them to
meet the demands upon them OF
the business of the country.
For improvements Of this char
acter they are shown to have ex-
pended during the last eight
years the enormous sum Of ST.
OO,OOo,OO0.
From one end of the land tC
the other this kind of work il
now in progress. Ii this increase
of business continues for eight
years more at the same rate Of
progression, and the indications
are that il will, it will be i'm.
possible for the railroads tt
handle 1t unless in the mean
time, in addition to the genera
improvements mentioned, they
double and quadruple their mair
lines, or double and quadruple
their existing tracks and equip
ment.
In this work we are all VITAL,
interested. We want it to g
forward without let or hinder
ance, to the end that bushes
may be conveniently and econ
omically transacted, and also AM
especially that there may be tn
greatest possible safety for Inf
and limb TO the millions VIII
travel. We should. take heed
therefore, that we do not destro,
or impair the enterprise or tn
credit and financial ability Of thu
railroads to raise and expcnd, il
che way indicated, the hundred
of millions necessary to carr,
forward this great work.
To take control of the rate
making power is to take charg
of the revenues of the roads, an
that means that the Government
is to assume responsibility, no
only of the determining wha
rates shall be charged, but ais
of necessity how much money
railroad shall be allowed TO make
and thus determine, also of ne
cessity, what improvements
shall be permitted to make, wha
extensions it may build, wha
equipment it must provide, VIVA
new tracks it may lay and wha
kind of service 1t shall render
for rates are so interdepender
that there is no such thing POI
sible as changing one without al
fecting many.
Any other notion is a delusio
refuted by conditions and expel
fences. In short, if the Coy
eminent is to determine no
much money a railroad shall !
allowed to make it must of NJ
cessity determine, also, what e,
penditures shall be permitted
