was fast and furious from the start
The decision was popular. notwith
standing that O'Brien had admirers
who insisted that Referee Ryan
should have called it a draw O'Brien
was cautioned several times by the
referee for rough tactics and was &C
cused of not putting his best efforts
during the first three rounds. O'Brien
claimed that he was sick. Kelly had
all the best of the argument in the
fourth. fifth and tenth rounds. He led
for the body continually. which show
ed its effect on his adversary in the
last round. when O'Brien was fighting
wild. In the 'semi-windup. billed for
six rounds, George KOerder of Indian

cry Of gathering their household
goods together for the long journey.
Men were melancholy and silent as
they looked for the last time on for

no alternative. Primitive races must
retreat or be absorbed by the aggres.
sive forces Of civilization. Over and
over again history has written this
almost unalterable decree. Only
once In all recorded history has this
law been reversed. When William
the Conqueror came over to England
from the continent in the year 1865
with his Norman-French army and
subdued our forefathers, the gritty
Anglo-Saxon never gave up his native
tongue. He submitted as best he
could to the dominion of the French
Court, but chung with everlasting
tenacity to his W language and his
own individuality and in the end Of
the centuries the strong character and
life OF the Anglo-Saxon dominated, and
his once proud conquerors were alb.

MRS. HAROLD SURPRISED.
Manager of Many other Occasions is
Herself Made a Victim.

Mrs. Eleanor Harold, wife of ]
G. Harold, was happily surprise,
last evening at her home, corne
| South Second Street and Fifth Ave
nue., by a company of about forty
friends and n%eighbors, the occasion
being the anniversary of the lady's
birth.
Mrs. Harold had gone to the
home of her father, Captain j. II
Evans, 18th Avenue West, for sup
per with her twin brother, Ed. Ev,
ans, and a sort of celebration of the
event was INDUCED in at the paren
tai home. Following supper a bob
sled load of friends appeared at the
Evans home and desired the com
pany of Mrs. Harold. The lady was
willing, and the little party, after a
drive about town, approached the
Harold residence. Some of the CON
pany complained of being very cold
and Mrs. Harold quickly offered the
hospitality of her home. Once in
side the place the lady struck q
match. It's light revealed a room full
ed with her friends. The surprise
was complete, even to the minutest
detail. Now Mrs. Harold is herself
a great lover of fun and when there 10
a neighbor or friend to be surprised
she is a most energetic worker to
bring about the event; in fact, she
has been regarded as a ring-leader In
the surprise business for some time
past, and her victims are counted by
the score. 1t was therefore a matter
Of some considerable satisfaction to
the assembled company, many OF
whom had been former victims OF
Mrs. Harold, to know that she was
completely taken off her guard and
that old scores were evened up. The
lady was hurried from one surprise 10
another until she was completely be.
wildered and could say nothing in de.
Tense of herself. And all of this was
to the great amusement of the assem-
bled company. A number of hand
some presents were left as new N.

Some of the ladies of the company
took the management Of the evening
in hand and an oyster supper was soon
prepared. OF course Mrs. Harold
got busy and wanted to assist in the
preparations, but she was a guest and
her interference in the kitchen was
not tolerated.

CEDAR VALLEY RACES
0skaloosa Will Remain in the Cir
cult Another Year.

Oskalocsa will remain in the Ce-
dar Valley circuit and there will be
the usual trotting races in this city
this summer, provided a favorable
date is secured from the stewards
of the circuit, who meet in regular
session at Waterloo Wednesday.
Jack Harrison, the new secretary of
the Fair Association, one of the city's
most prominent horsemen and one
of the hackers Of the summer races
In this city, leaves this evening for
Waterloo, to be present at the meet
ing. If an unfavorable date is as
signed to Oskaloosa Mr.. Harrison is
commissioned to accept or reject the
meeting, as he sees fit.
If Oskaloosa has races this sum
mer it means an expenditure in i'm
provements to the fair grounds of
between $500 and $1,000. This is
simply in general repairs and in
cludes no new structures.
The high wind of last summer
blew the ampltheatre from It's U
dation and moved the structure
about four feet from its rightful po-
s1tion. This must be replaced and
strengthened. Other repairs are also
needed to make the structure fit in
every way for occupancy. In its
present condition another high wind
would completely ruin the building.
The fence around the track will
be repaired before a meeting is held
and improvements are needed in the
stables, the stands and in other plac-
es upon the grounds.
Should the meeting be secured for
O~skaloosa upon satisfactory terms,
the work of repair upon the grounds
will be begun in the immediate
future. va,
