Corbett's Fat Is Stubborn


There is a suspicion that Young Cor
bett will not be at his very best this
time. While he effects to treat the
matter lightly, it is as plain as day.
light, that he is having trouble with
his weight again. Just why he should
nave allowed his avoirdupois to get the
upper hand on him is not clear.
He told the writer last Monday that
he weighted 143 pounds when ne be-
gan to train. He had been in camp
two weeks at that time, yet when he
stepped on the scales an hour later, he
weighed nearly 142 pounds. That
means that it took nearly two weeks
to remove just one pound of flesh.
mo need to worry about my weight
said Corbett. Il can show $50 by the
end of the work week.
To the layman this seems a weird
way to figure. 1t took him two weeks
to make difference of one pound, yet
he was willing to bet large sums that
he could strip his frame of II pounds
in four or five days.
Corbett will be at weight, no doubt.
He always contrives to save his for
felt even though he manages to start
a guessing bee which continues right
up to the time of passing the master
of the scales. But how about his con-
dition? 1t is a we'll known fact that

he was far from being trained to the
He was in a bad way several

For that matter there was a division

ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTICURA

Writing under date of Sept. 7, 1904,
Mrs. Matte Shafer, of Cumberland,
Miss, says: "Some time ago l or
dered and received your wonderful
Cuticura Remedies, which 1 used on
my little afflicted babe with wonder

remedies without any benefit what
ever, and Cuticura came to the rescue
when my doctors and all other rem

nounced 1t scrofula, the other eczema.

READY TO SEEK PEACE3
Antwerp Says Russians Have Cult
Purchasing Army Supplies
NORi'E Wonderful Troops.

London, March 6.--The intensely
dramatic situation in Manchuria de-
veloped by Gen. Nogi's rapid advance
and its stragetlc possibilities have
raised excitement in Europe to the
highest pitch English papers for
long time have practically ceased to
receive war specials. 1t is believed
here that Gen. Kuropatkin is in
very tight place, and the chances Of
his extricating his army are keenly
discussed. The abandonment of Muk-
den is considered to be inevitable, the
only question being whether he will be
able to effect retreat to Tie Pass.
An immediate repulse of Gen. Nogi's
army, it is held, might save the situa-
ton; but failing that, Gen. Kuropat-
kin will have committed to him the
dangerous and difficult task Of re-
firing northward, harassed by flanking
attacks by the Japanese army. What
ever may be the result 1t is felt that
peace Is appreciably nearer.
The attacks delivered by Gen. Nogi's
soldiers were marvellous in view of the
forced marches which they made for
six days, recalling the records of
Stouewall Jackson's foot cavalry"
They entered the battle with the
greatest dash and fought day after
day with vigor, but those of them
taken prisoners dropped to the ground
utterly exhausted and hardly able to
speak. They had not eaten for two
days, which accounts in part for their
utter fatigue. GEM Kuropatkin's line
Of communications has not been
touched though it is in extreme jeop-
ardy. His right flank is bent so
sharply backward that 1t may necessi-
tate the abandonment of the Poutiloff
and Novgorod hills, to which the Rus
slams are still firmly clinging. The
Japaneses possibly are pushing north

CHEERED FAIRBANKS
United States Senators Welcome
Their New Presiding Officer.
DEADLOCK OVER DOMINICAN TREATY.
Indications That President ROOse-
Welt Has Encountered Serious OPP
position in Trying to Force
His FavOrite Document.

Washington, March THE special
session of the senate was opened BY
lound applause for Vice Presidents
Fairbanks when Re appeared in the
chamber to preside. He at once raped
the senate to order and prayer was of
fered by Chaplain Hale. The new
senators, Piles, of Washington; Bulke-
ley, of Connecticut; Flint, of Cali
fornia; Nixon, of Nevada; Burkett, Of
Nebraska; Raynor, of Maryland; Car
ter, of Montana; Sutherland, of Utah,
and Hemenway, of Indiana, were
warmly greeted by their colleagues in
the senate. In response to resolu-
ton Mr.. Allison and Mr. German were
named a committee to notify the presi-
dent that the senate was in session
and ready to receive any communities
ton he had to offer.
The Dominican question was raised
as soon as the door Of the senate was
closed in executive session. One of
the messages received from the presi-
dent related to that subject and 1t was
the first taken up. 1t called attention
to the protocol of an agreement with
the government of Santo Domingo by
which the United States will under
take to conduct the republics custom
affairs In an effort to liquidate It's
debts and to put the island government
on a more stable footing with other
countries
During the discussion 1t developed
that there was much opposition in the
committee to the phraseology OF theN
protocol without relation to the policy
involved. 1t was understood that
Senator Spooner would offer a number
of amendments and that Senators
Bacon and Morgan would speak
against the policy Of making a conven-
ton by which this government would
enter upon debt-collecting enterprise
in the Latin-American republics. In
its present form the protocol met with
practically no support.
The president says that instead OF
stretching the Monroe doctrine this
procedure is the only course which VIII

Of continually invoking the Monroe
doctrine against invasion Of European

KANSAS LEGISLATURE.
senate DenOunces COmmissiOnsF
GaraeId's Beef TRUST RePOrt-NO
Tax for Rural Schools.

Topeka, Kan, March T. The Kan
sas senate adopted resolution de-
nouncing the report Of Commissioner
Garfield In the beef investigation. The
resolution urges the president to re-
ject the report and order an investlga-
ton of the subject made by some man
who knows his business. Senator
Smith introduced the resolution. 1t Is
VERY caustic. Smith said that the re-
port was an outrage on the American
people; that 1t was time for Roose-
welt to know how the people of the
state felt about the matter, and that
the president owed 1t to the American
people to reject the report and have
another investigation made by COM
petent man. The members Of the
Kansas legislature believe that Gar
fields report on the beef trust Is
forerunner of his report on the Stand
ard Oil trust now being made under
the Campbell resolution in Washing
ton. They didn't want to see the beef
trust whitewashed neither do they
want TO see the Standard whitewashed.
Kansas oil legislation is already hav-
ing good results. Gov. Hoch received
telegram from an Independent re-
fnlng company Of Humboldt saying
that the freight charges on car Of oil
shipped yesterday were $5O.74 less
under the newly enacted maximum
freight rate law The message was
read in both the senate and house.
The senate recalled the Porter gas
bill from the house and reconsidered
1t. Porter had a provision in the bill
that gave the county inspectors power
to limit the output Of gas to 20 per
cent Of the wells capacity. This
would hamper the piping out OF gas.
The senate then took It up, knocked
out the Objectionable section and
passed 1t.
Senator Young's bill providing for
a county tax for rural schools was
killed in the house. The Young bill
modifying the Australian ballot was
passed.
The senate passed primary election
law prIviding that all county prima-
ries shall be held on the second Tues
lay of April, and all county conven-
lions on the third Tuesday Of Apru.
II also makes It n crime to repeat. The
oil was substituted for the house bill.
The house will not likely accept 1t, as
t provides for primaries which are OBJ
lectionable to the western Kansas
members.

Russians claim minor successes
against Gen. KuroI4l, who presumably
having shot his bolt and effected at
least one Of his objects, that Of draw
ing Russian achievements, may have
forwarded part Of his army to rein
force the center and west flank The
Russian war Office estimates the num-
Der wounded IN the battle of Mukden
at 1900, including 234 officers, but
makes no statement regarding the
number OF dead. This undoubtedly is
a conservative statement The jap
anese losses, according to the same
source Of information, are estimated
at 10000.
The optimistic tone Of the war cor
respondents is reflected In military
circles here. II is considered that
even II Gen. Kuropatkin has not sue
ceeded in delivering crushing blow
at the japanese he has at least In
sured the possibility Of withdrawal
which was greatly jeopardized by the
operations Of Gen. Nogi and Gen
Kuroki. The result Of Gen. Kuropat-
kin's reported counter attack west OF
the railroad which, II successful, would
drive a wedge between the western
army and the Japanese forces on the
shakhe river, is awaited with keen an
xiety. 1t is felt that this is the OPP
portunity which he missed at Lao
Yang and which deprived the Russians
of victory when it had almost been
won.
