PULLMAN WHEAT CONVENTION.

Washington State college, gives prom
Use of being one of the most import
ant meetings of the winter, and the
indications are that it will be attend
ed by notable gathering of prominent
men from all parts of the state. The
prime object OF the convention is to
bring together the various interests of
the wheat industry, from the producer
to the baker. Wheat being the pr1n-
cipal product of large portion of the
agricultural section of the state, the
Importance of a meeting of all those
interested in the industry for the pur-
pose of comforting together, exchang-

ests can not be overestimated. 1t is
the intention to perfect an organiza-
ton of those interested in the wheat
industry for the purpose of boosting

this source alone valuable results are
expected.

CUT EXPENSES ON THE IsTHMUs
Roosevelt Gives High Officials Strict
Orders.

President Roosevelt has taken up
the matters connected with the 18TH
milan canal, as developed by debate in
the senate during the first of the week.
He is determined to prevent further
criticism of the character put forward
by Senators Tillman, Culberson and
others.
Senators Allison and Hale, both
members of the appropriation commit
tee, were present. The president made
it plain to Mr.. Shonts that the literary
bureau in charge of Secretary Bishop
must be at once discontinued and Mr..
Bishop confine his services purely to
administrative matters. He also dis
cussed the ACCESSIBILITY of reducing his
salary from the $4,000 now paid to
$4,000, or some other moderate sum. Il
was also made apparent to Chairman
Shonts that if he still has an official
connection with the Glover Leaf rail-
road i. must be severed Immediately.
Senator Tillman declared that Mr..
Shonts is still active president Of the
system and neither Mr.. Shonts nor
any of the administration senators
have entered a denial of the declara-
ton.
The president further gave Mr..
Snonts much advice regarding the con-
duct of affairs on the isthmus. 1t is
prescribed in the presidents orders
that the canal commission must leave
at once for that place.
The bill appropriating $11,O0O0OO for
the canal work, passed by the senate
yesterday, provides that within 80 days
the secretary of the treasury must FUR
nish estimates to the senate and house
appropriations committees of all
salaries paid those employed on canal
work except laborers and unskllled
laborers. This feature of the bill
was discussed with Senators Ali
son and Hale. 1t is believed that
many reforms will be instituted in the
administration of the canal before an
other appropriation is requested from
congress. This work of reform must
begin at once, as Secretary Taft says
the $11,000,000 now being obtained Will
last no longer than the first Of April
at the outside.
In the meantime Senator TilIman
will begin a strong agitation after the
holiday recess for a thorough inyestl-
cation of the entire canal situation. lie
will be opposed by the republicans, but
supported by the democrats. Even
some of the republicans favor an In
uuiry, and Senator Tillman threatens
to cause much trouble unless matters
are put on such basis as to prevent
just criticism.

Passenger Trains Collide.

In one of the most extraordinry ac-
cidents known to American railroad
ing, two heavily loaded passenger
trains came together on the elevated
tracks of the New York Central q Hud-
son River railroad. One man, j. W..
Knapp of New Rochelle, was killed
and 40 persons were more or less in
jured. Both of the colliding trains
were east bound, and had left the
Grand Central station at Forty second
street within a few minutes of each
other. Rushing along on parallel
tracks the two trains suddenly came
together. The local was switched from
the third track to the fourth, and il
can instant the engine of the express
had crashed into the day coach follow
ing the smoking car of the local. Fire
apparatus from several stations were
summoned and many persons were res
cued by means of ladders placed
against the structure.

FITZSIMMONS LOST
TO JACK O'BRIEN

San Francisco, Dec. 90 Robert Fitz-
simmons collapsed at the close of the
18th round of his fight with "Philadel-
phia Jack" O'Brien. He had fought
hard, but nature could no longer stand
the strain, and, after the gong rang
the close of the 18th round he walked
to his corner and sat in his chair.
Then his head fell over on his breast,
his whole body collapsed, and the fight
ing wonder of the age was "all in. "
Referee Graney saw his condition and
awarded the fight to O'Brien.
While punched in the face and bad
ly cut up and several times In jeopardy
Fltzsimmons always managed to come
to and resume the fight. Just at the
close OF the 18th round he landed a
hard left on O'Brien's stomach, but
the Philadelphia man came with sim
liar blow, and followed it with light
left to the jaw. The gong rang for the
close of the round and Fitzsimmons
walked to his corner. AS he sat down
he said to Referee Graney:
Eddie, he hit me in the stomach
and it is all over. -
Then his head sank and Bob Fitzsim
mons was defeated.
Referee Graney said:
FitZsimmons showed his class.
O'Brien is wonderful boxer, but the
other man stood up and took his pun
lshment. Occasionally he showed a
flash of his old time form, but his
strength could not last. "
After the fight had been awarded to
O'Brlen, Fitzsimmons slipped to the
floor and lay PROSTATE in the ring.
There was call for doctor, as it
was feared he was in state of col
lapse. He revived in a few minutes
and, with the assistance of his seconds,
was able to leave the ring.
O'Brien gave a remarkable exhibit
ton of sparring and foot work. He
ducked and lodged and sidestepped in
a manner that was bewildering.
Fitzsimmons would swing and find
only the empty air, and-at times nearly
went through the ropes from the force
of his misspent blows.
O'Brien would straighten up and
dash in wicked cutting left, which,
while not possessing knockdown
force, was sufficient to jar the old
gladiator. Fitzsimmons had the SYM
pathy Of the enormous crowd, which
Missed and jeered O'Brien when he
ducked and ran away. But the Phil
adelphian had laid out his plan of bat
tie and could not be coerced into mix
ing things with the old fighter, who
was known to possess a dangerous
punch. Before Fitzsimmons left the
ring he said that he had done the best
he could and that he had fought his
last fight.

WHEN BETTY MILks The cows.

When twilight gilds the summer lea
And daisies close their eyes TO sleep.
When hlveward drones the laden bee.
And from the hedge the shadows
creep;
Inc hour when all things sweet combine
10 set their seal on Natures brow
win tenderest touch--the hour, divine,
when Betty milks the brindled COW.
Inc peach's blush upon her cheek.
Inc pippin's dimple in her chin;
iler eyes clear, fountain-like, bespeak
A depth Of purity within;
softer of voice than yonder dove
That to Its mate is cooling now
For all things yield themselves to love
when Betty milks the brindled COW.
Adown her shoulders, plump and fair
AS ever minstrel rhymed or sung,
a wavy mass of golden hair
In Natures artless beauty flung;
her arms, apoise, Of graceful mould
NO artists masterpiece, trow,
Can match the vision | behold
When Betty milils the brinded COW.
But whether In her form or face
Or twinkle in those eyes of blue,
lheres some bewitchment in her grace
That thrills my being through and
through;
And what | would | cannot say,
For silence seals my lips somehow,
And something in my breast gives way
When Betty milks the briudled COW.
Oh, had I all the miser's store,
Or wide domain of farm and field,
The fame that falls to men of lore,
With all the honors earth can yield,
I'd freely barter them for this
Would such a boon the Fates allow
Just one sweet promise, one sweet kiss,
When Betty milks the brindled COW.
John Troland.
