Former Champion Victim Of His
Own Methods-sclentlfic Man
Can Stay Longer In the
Ring

Terry McGovern escaping from sani-
tariums, doing queer things at race
tracks and otherwise showing traits
of the man for whom the padded cell
yawns. establishes sharply the limita-
tions that nature has placed on human
ability to Withstand punishment.
Five years ago the man who is now
acting more like a morphine victim
than great athlete was champion
of the worlds featherweights. His
rise had been meteoric. his career phe-
nomenal. Until the hard fist of Young
Corbett laid him low, Terry knocked
out every man who faced him, and
did Il so quickly and decisively that
he won himself the appropriate nick
name of Terrible" He was never
out of training. was always ready to
fight at the shortest possible notice.
and took such excellent care of him
self that the wise ones predicted a
prosperous and happy career for him
after his boxing days ended.
Surface indications pointed that way.
McGovern had laid aside enough money
for a comfortable start, and his
strength and health stood him in such
good stead for time that he was able
to knock out as good boy as Eddie
Hanlon in this city less than year
ago.
But tortured nature was only hold
ing back its revenge, not forgetting it.
Conditions have now developed that
make it appear an unfortunate day
that brought the Brooklyn boy into the
prize ring.

A Victim of His Methods

McGOVern is q victim OF his own COM
plete Indifference to pain. To this alone
he owes mis- breakdown. No bad habits
contributed to sap his vitality. Had
he exercised moderate caution during
his many fights, Terry would still be a
sound man, mentally and physically
But he never spared himself. His
was the "take-a- punch -to-land- one"
lolicy. He feared no one, and never
took into account that any blow could
come hard enough to hurt him. In
every battle he waded furiously in,
head down, taking enough hammering
to put out half a dozen ordinary men.
1t made very spectacular milling.
and the unthinking cheered, but Ter
ry has paid a heavy price.
1t was not the blows landed on his
honest face that did the business.
These leave marks, but their damage
is temporary. The body punishment
inflicted the permanent injury. The
vital organs of the chest are not to be
continuously pounded without a pro-
test. The injury may not show at once,
but the penalty must eventually be paid
in physical wreck or nervous break
down.
Similar instances are many. Kid
Carter had terrific punch and almost
unlimited gameness, but he knew moth
ing of defense. In every fight he sub
mitted to an incredible amount Of
grueling. He bore up for time, but
finally went all at once, and now any
body can beat him.
Sharkey's inability to keep Fitzsim
mons and Jeffries away from his bUu.
brought that strong mans activities
to premature end. George Gardner
had only a punch and the willingness
to take one, and Fitzsimmons retired
him from pugilism. Young Corbett il
another good illustration of aggres-
siveness without skill.

TO THE CAMP
WAGES AND PRICES HIGH
Rush Continues and Business Boom.

T. M. Gronen of Los
Angeles

Special to The Herald
GOLDFIELD, New, May 7.-Charles
H. Treat of Los Angeles has Just re-
turned to this camp from Bullfrog,
full to the brim of good things to say
about the southern camps Mr. Treat
has extensive interests in Bullfrog
and his tour was for the purpose of
carefully inspecting, not only his own
but all the surrounding properties in
that district
"Bullfrog is booming" said Mr..
Treat to the Herald correspondent to-
day. THE day l left there, 1 saw a
Goldfeld capitalist pay $1,000 for a 30
foot lot on the Main street for busi-
ness block, and other big buildings are
to go up as soon as lumber can be
secured. At present people who want
to build wait their turn in line at the
lumber yards when the teams come
il, and cart off what they can get as
soon as it arrives.
Everything is high there, because
it costs about six cents per pound to
get supplies into the camp. Water
costs $500 per barrel, groceries are
three times as high as in Los An
geles, and there are many supplies that
you cannot get at any price. Meals
cost from 70 cents up, a square meal
being one dollar without much chance
to beat the price. Beds-cots, rather
in tent, without partitions between
you and Tom, Dick and Harry, cost
81 per night and more ambitious
quarters are proportionately higher.

TEK-DAY HOLIDAY JOBS
Superintendent Clcndenen Issues No
tice Relative to Violation of
School Regulations.

co.
Prof T. G Clendenen has issued a
plea to the parents Of the school chill
dren, through the agency Of The Bull
letin, begging that they be more strict
as regards the attendance of pupils
just prior 10 the Christmas holidays.
He writes: There is The tempta-
tiCn af his time of the year on The
part of parents TO let down a bit on
regularity of attendance of children at
school. The little holiday job at some
store for ten days preceding Christmas
may be pleasant in some ways. but il
seriously interferes with school, work
at the time and afterwards. Many Of
the term failures in school work can
be traced to irregularity in attendance,
i does not pay In any sense Of the
word to relax school work because Of
the holiday opportunities or because
near the close ct the term
He then quotes from The rules of the
Board Of Education the regulations as
to absence. which states that any
pupil who shall be absent from school
four half days in four consecutive
weeks. unless such absence be shown
to be absolutely necessary. shall be
suspended from attendance at school
Pupils thus suspended shall not be re
instated until satisfactory assurance
that future attendance will so far as
possible be regular
The application of the above rule
would be apt TO cause the pupil, who
relaXes school work for little Christ
mas jobs TO lose much more than
the mere time which he or she puts
on the job, and would also cause him
or her 10 lose much in the line Of the
study at school.
Mr. Clendenen sincerely hopes that
the parents OF the pupils will make
some effort with him TO remedy this
fregularity of attendance

Why is it that so few people are

Why is it that the wrong man or

Why is it that the sc~hool-house is
always too neal or too far; too poor

Cut the Cotton Crop IS Per Cent.

Messrs. Editors Il have never
said anything about what I thought
of your paper; so / will tell you now
what / think of The Progressive
Farmer and Cotton Plant. I think
it is worth three or four times what
it costs a year, and / don't see why
every farmer doesn't take it. All
they lack is to start to reading it,
and / don't think they will stop. l
have been reading it for nearly a
year and I would not be without it
this year for five dollars, for I think
it has been worth more than that to
me this year.
I hope that the farmers will come
together and stand as one man, and
let that be for the purpose of hold
ing part of the 1904 crop of cotton
and make a small crop in 1905. Some
say cut the cotton crop off % per
cent. If every farmer will do that,
that is all right. But some who do
not own land say if they cut off cot
ton that the owner must take less
rent. / see it in the right way, cut
ting off the cotton crop does not de-
crease the value of the farm. He
can cut the cotton crop off and plant
more corn. wheat, oats, peas, clover
and all such crops as it takes to
that farm, and he will be better off
than if he had it all in cotton.
Cut off your cotton crop, farmers,
25 per cent. I think it best for us,
and I know it is the best for our
wives and children. Make less cot
ton and buy less guano, and we
will hit the nail on the head one
time. THOMAS PHELPS.

For q Parcels Post.

The principal feature of the an
nual report of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow is a
recommendation for a new rate of
a recommendation for a new rate of
postage on rural free delivery routes.
It's purpose is to increase the reve-
nues and add to the efficiency of the
rural service. With the establish
ment of rural mail delivery and the
increasing extension of rural tele-
phone service by private interests,
there has grown up a demand by
patrons of rural routes for the de-
livery of small packages of mer-
chandise on an order to the local
merchant by postal card, telephone
or otherwise. The value of these
packages of merchandise is usually
small, and the present rates of pos
tage of one cent per ounce is practi-
cally %prohibitive. Fourth Assistant
Bristow suggests a rate of three
cents per POUND to cover packages
or books or merchandise not exceed
ing five pounds in weight, mailed
at the distribution point of any ru-
raj free delivery route for delivery
to any patron on such route.

are fallible there will be errors in
administration.
The erection of new school-houses
is a necessity now and then in every
district. The State has assisted in
this work and insisted that better
houses should be built. This has
been done and people find fault and
say there is too much extravaganza.
Some houses have been painted, and
they say that is a gross waste Of
money. So deep is the prejudice
against Improvement that many
votes we're lost to the dominant
party in the election.
Now, reader, you will perceive
that I have not undertaken a dis
cussion of any point here brought
out, but have merely touched upon a
few by way of suggestion. If our
editor will allow, can not the free
discussion of some of these points,
during the present session of the
schools, be of some help? The Gen
eral Assembly is now in session, and
if there are wrongs, can we not dis
cover them and ask our lawmakers
to change them!
/ want our pubic school system to
be efficient. and, above all, I want
it to be popular. No matter how ef-
fcient the system may be, if it be ur-
popular, the results of it's operation
will be, to say the least, unsatisfac-
tory. E. S. MlLLSAIS.

Advertise Your Stock.

Several years ago I visited a farm
er friend who had two Shorthorn
bull calves Cloth eligible to registry
which he thought good enough for
use on high-grade COWS for the pro-
duction of steers. He said he could
get $35 each for them from two
of his neighbors. I persuaded him
not to let them go at that price and
suggested that he advertise them in
an agricultural paper. He acted on
the suggestion and thus announced
the result: "The bulls sold for $75
each, and the ad. cost $780," There
are hundreds of small breeders who
could duplicate this result by adopt
ing the necessary means.-Agricul-
