of difference between Tom jenkins
and Jack Curbeek have been adjusted
and Morse Levy announces positively
that these men will wrestle for the
worlds catch-as-c atch-can champion
ship next Tuesday evening at Wood

mixed match, although the style adopt

at this one method, and Tom wanted
to run in a Graeco--Roman bout. 1t is
CaEkeek's boast that no man has even
put his shoulders to the mat in COM

that sort of match. Jenkins is certain
he can do the trick.

HIS WIFE AGAINST HIM.
Mrs. Bradenburg VIII Testify in Favor
of Miss Canady.


lola. Jan. Mrs. Bradenburg, wife
W. L. Bradenburg, the Bronson man
accused OF wronging Maude Canady,
OF that place, came to lola yesterday.
She called on County Attorney Cliff
ford. and said she would be glad to as
sist in the prosecution of Bradenburg,
and gave the county attorney a list
of witnesses, who might have knowl-
edge of the relations which have ex-
listed between Bradenburg and the
Canadv girl She gave this assurance
after she had called on Bradenburg
at the county jail and had talked with
him. She told her husband that if he
would leave the Canady girl alone
after he was free of his present
trouble. and come back and live with
her, she would try to help him in his
present straits Bradenburg refused
to promise even this, and his wife i'm
mediately announced that she would
lend every aid to his prosecution.
According to Mrs. Bradenbure, the
man and the girl have been intimate
for some time. The two families lived
neighbors at Bronson. Frequently
she says, the girl would meet Braden-
burg at the edge of town and the two
would drive to LaHarpe or some 9TH

the intimacy, and before his arrest

would promise to come back and live
with her, but since he has refused to
make any such promise, she will

Electric Light Plant Being Rushed to
Completion.
| Clyde. Jan. 7.=Since the Beachtel
theater was opened. October 9Th, 20
shows have come and gone. There are
two more on the boards for January
and three booked for February. Every
troupe and company have praised
Clyde on her new commodious opera
house, and the fame of its builder, j.
D. BeachteL after whom the theater
was named, has gone all over the
county.
The latest addition to the musical
talent of Clyde is the Organization of
an orchestra with nine members, I'M
der the leadership of w B. Leicester.
This orchestra has proved a big draw
house, the members of which are de-
serving of the greatest praise.
The work of lighting Clyde with
electricity is rapidly going forward,
and the promoters of the industry
confidently expect to turn on the light
in about 80 days. Most of the business
houses and many homes Will adopt
the new light.
The oil we'll is temporarily sleeping,
that is work was suspended until
spring on account of the power giving
out and some caving in. 1t is the con-
Viction of the promoters of the oil en-
IGTpIlSG IIl1L oil QlQeInGS OlyQG anu So
certain they are that operations will
commence again in the spring and
more powerful machinery will drive
the drill.
Clyde is quite a political center. 1t
is the home of John F. Randolph, dep
uty revenue collector. It also has a
candidate for state oil inspector in E.
J. Weise. The former got his appoint
ment by the grace of Senator Burton.
If the latter wins out the appointment
will come from Governor Hoch. This
May stir up some friction, as either OF
them have their friends.
Clyde has one of the best creamery
plants in Kansas, that of Q. F. Arm
strong. 1t has prospered in all the
years of its eistence. 1t has kept pace
with the growth of town and country,
and has branches in several adjoining
towns. 1t has been great industry
to Faisers of mich COWS.
Clyde will continue to forge ahead
because her people have vim, and here
they have already built up one of the
soIidest towns and trade centers in
the Republican valley. 1t will continue
to grow because the country is here to
support a town much larger than
Clyde is today. 1t already has three
lines of railroad, several large eleva-
tors and a mammoth Touring MILL
Three newspapers are literally sup
ported, together with two banks and
two lumber yards. 1t has a fine sys-
tenn of waterwors, schools and several
churches. 1t is the only town in Kan
sas that has afforded watermelon car
nivals and her growers of melons ship
them annually by the hundreds of car
loads. With all these advantages, and
more in sight, Clyde is pretty we'll to
do, thank you.

MATrHEwsoN AND nlcGINNITY
VIII Stay With the Giants and Do
Early PRACTICE.


New York, Jan. 7:-secretary
Knowles, of the New York Nationals,
has completed the itinerary of the
Giants for their spring practice trip,
which is somewhat similar to the one
of last season. The players will report
in Washington the first week in
March, where they will be Joined by
Manager McGraw. The team will
then go direct to Savannah, Ca, where
il will practice until March Is. Then
it will go to Birmingham, Ala.s where
it Will remain until March %. From
Birmingham it will work its way north
by gradual stages, playing as follows:
Nashville, March 20, 30; Louisville,
April 1, 2; Indianapolis. April 8, A.;
Columbus (ccnditionaI). April 5;
Wheeling, April 6.
The following players have signed
contracts for the year: McGinnity
(Who had a hold-over contract) Tay-
lor, Wiltse, Bowerman, Brenahan, Gil
bert, Dahlen, DeVlin, Dunn, MerteS
and Browne. The other players on
the reserve list will sign in due time
from all of them that they will be on
hand when called upon. They will be
no chopping of salaries. In fact, some
of the players will receive more than
they did last year The boys are all
satisfied and only too glad to be back
on the champion team. There is no
truth in the rumor that Mathewson
viii purchase the franchise of the
Secretary Knowles that he will re-
port in Washington when the team
meets there.
Manager McGraw will put the play
ers through the customary grueling
practice, and will have them back in
New York when the championship
season begins in prime condition. It
is McGraw's intention to get the
jump on the other fellows at the
start, approaching the fact that a good
start is half the battle and a stern
chase is a long one
The hustling little manager is now
at Hot Springs, Ark, where he is con
ditioning himself, and he will be out
on the field all through the southern
practice. He is the hardest worker of
the bunch.

Moore, president of the National Good
Roads association. addressed a mass
meeting in the city hall last evening
on the subject of good roads, prepara-
tory to the arrival of a special train
of good roads people January 10, of
which party General Nelson A. Miles

needed on new roads in six months of
eighty barrels a mile and then an an
nual application of from eighty to
ninety barrels. The cost is less than
so per cent of macadam.

the new 10000 bushel capacity ele-
vator. with modern fixtures for operat-
ing it. 1t is one of the large list of
State elevators, many of them now in
operation in Kansas and Nebraska. 1t

company, of Chicago, one of the
largest grain firms in the country.
Riley capitalists in position to

amount of building here the first half
of 1905, which will be continued
