frankie Neil and Dick Hyland meet in
Frisco tonight for the bantamweight

ist has jumped from a pure amateur into
an acknowledged championship posi-
bfHty, and has in his first fight met the
holder OF the title for the championship
honors BY winning Hyland Will estdb-

The fact that Hyland comes straight
from the amateur ranks and has
had no experience in long bouts
WIFI count against him in the
ring and in the betting. ANA
teur bouts are limited to four
rounds, and many scrapper who is

be because OF his ability TO use both

cause the American depended almost en-
t1reiy on MS left, while the Englishnan

IF Rob Roy Mackey throws Harvey
TyrreH twice in an hour tomorrow
night at Concordia Hall he will have
accomplished a feat which many do not
think is within his capabilities.
Mackey has a reputation as a rough
wrestler, well versed in all the little
tricks that can sometimes be pulled off
when the referee is not looking and 1t
IS probable that the bout will be on the
furious order. He is also wrestler OF
acknowledged ability in the regular way
and is always able to furnish the pubic
a run for its money, but ii would appear
that the weight will be against him to-
morrow He will not have more than
ten pounds on Tyrrell at the outside and
that does not seem to give him any Ii
cense to throw his opponent twice in
sixty minutes
Tyrrell is a strong. husky boy who
has learned the game under the teach
ing of Joe Grant, and his recent contests
show that he has been an apt scholar
He has to go after men out of his class
in order to get matches, and 1t was Tor
that reason the Mackey match was ar
ranged.
Mackey and TyrreIl have a chance to-
morrow to show the public good bout
work hard and honestly all the time.
Wrestling is now recovering in this city
from the crushing effects of a series OF
fake matches which killed the sport
The slightest suspicion that Ilatch
between two men so well known here as
Mackey and Tyrrell was not on the level
would undo the work of two years IN
rehabilitating the game, and II there
is any appearance of fake tomorrow
night, the men should be thrown on the
stage, and never allowed to go before
an audience in any capacity There will
probably be considerable money bet on
the match, and when there Is money
up on q mat contest there IS always
lingering suspicion that all is not right
There is a great opportunity for the men
to make a hit for themselves. and the
sport, or to go into oblivion Branded
as crooks
Walter Gallagher IS still after Jack
Spaulding or Joe Turner for a prelin1i-
nary to the main bout tomorrow night,
but neither of those young wrestlers
has come forward with forfeit TO
meet that posted by Gallagher some
weeks ago when he started on THEN
trail Should he go On with either OF
those boys the preliminary should be
as interesting as the star feature and
will attract almost as many spectators.
Gallagher means business and Is willing
to let his forfeit go as a side bet

Philadelphia critics are delighted with
the speed and all around fighting quail
ties OF Abe Attell, who made Tommy
Murphy look like novice in that city

was touted as the coming featherweight

In Feltz he Will have shifty opponent
who should cause the elusive Abe to
exert himself to the utmost to win, and

go in a real scrap.

A CORRECT ESTIMATE.

In recent interview in the Regis
terland Leader, Thomas Orwig, of Des
Moines, who was an old time news
paper man, gives thefollowing correct
estimate of the difference between
newspapers:
ga newspaper in town may gen.
orally be considered an index of the
social and business activities of the
place and the editorial or lack of
editorials, suggestive ofthe Intellectual
caliber of the editor. And the dis
reputable advertisement and vulgar
thoughts found in the miscellaneous
matter may be read as an indictment
against the morality of the respon-
sible editor and manager. The ethics
of journalism applied to weekly or
daily paper will be standard at all
times and in all places for determin-
ing its influence for good or evil.
The power of the press for good or
evil is unreasonable and therefore
everybody in favor of honorable
business, intellectual advancement
and good social and moral influence
in community should study and APP
ply the ethics of journalism in discrim-
mating between newspapers when
giving their patronage In news
paper, truthfulness is the first test
that should be applied in an ethical
inquiry. If it is not truthful it should
be rated very low in morals and dan
gerous to it's patrons and fine public
good wherever it circulates. The
moral tone of its contents should he
observed to determine whether it will
stimulate good or evil inclinations in
the mind of its readers.

Shooting at Axoca.

The following article will be of in
terest to many Of our readers because
of the fact that Elmer NOVEL; is quite
well known here, having worked for
Mr.. Doak in the meat market.
Thursday afternoon about two
O'Clock, Lee Addison of Oakland was
shot in the neck while sitting in the
old coal bin across the street north
of the electric light plant, from which
wound he died in DR.. Spaulding's
Office about one-half hour later.
Lee Addison and young man by
the name of Elmer Novel; were seen
to go into the old coal bins by Frank
Glaze, engineer at the electric light
house about quarter of two o'clock.
The young men seemed TO be on good
terms as they were laughing. Addison
sat down on the floor which is about
eighteen inches of the ground. NOVEL;
was standing up and hung his coat on
a nail. Mr.. Glaze says that both young
men sat side by side talking. NOVEL;
got up and walked to the back of the
building and Mr.. Addison turned
around so he faced the north. He was
seen in this position by Mr.. Glaze, who
was working at one of the boilers OF
the light plant. Suddenly he heard a
sharp report and looking up saw Mr..
Addison get up and place his coat
partly under his arm with one hand up
on his neck and walk about 100 feet
west to the street where he called for
some one to get a doctor.
Before Mr.. Addison died he was
asked by Brice Norton who shot him,
that he ought to tell because he might
not live. He asked the doctors il he
would die and they told him they
could not tell. He said il he could not
live he would tell and said ELMER
NOVEL; shot him over crap game. +"
He repeated this to several in the room.
The following is the verdict of the
jury: We find that the deceased came
his to death from gunshot wound
inflicted by weapon in the hands of
Elmer NOVEL;. -Avoca Herald.

sells to Canadian and other foreign
farmers at prices greatly below what
they charge Iowa farmers for the same
goods. In his last great speech, Sen
ator Dolliver made the remark that
he was meditating on that very thing,
or something like it, and that she was
nearly ready to say that it was an
outrage.
And here is chance for the pot to
boil, and when the political pot gets
to boiling in Iowa, nearly everything
is liable to happen. Fifteen years ago
this blessed fall, the political pot sent
Walt Butler to congress.
Senator Allison should keep his eye
on the Iowa pot, and he should fetch
his smoothing iron along when next
again he undertakes to be the Nestor
to compose the quarrels of Agamem-
non Shaw and Achilles Cummins.

a sale OF Hereford cattle at the Fair
Grounds, at Guthrie Center, Iowa, on

all of them will be registered stock,
and many of them sons and daughters

consignment will consist of forty To
fifty head of choicely bred animals,
mostly OF his own breeding. Col
Robert King will be the Auctioneer.

IKE EP AN EYE ON THEM.

The following article from the
Washington Post is highly entertain,
ing reading and we think will be APP
preciated by friends of the different
parties. The reference to Senator
Delivers speech does not mean the
one made to the editors in Des Moines
a week ago.
The political situation in Iowa is
interesting, as is always the case when
the state is full of great men. Iowa
has in public life two members of
: President Roosevelt's cabinet, and
one of these is prominent, perhaps
a formidable candidate for president
of the United States. The senior sena-
tor from Iowa is perhaps the most in
huential member of the federal senate,
and his colleague is an able and con-
'spicuous member of that body. Mr..
Hepburn is one of the most formida-
BILE debaters in congress, and associ-
ated with HIM are Cousins, Lacy,
Hull and Smith. Governor Cummins
is a statesman of national reputation,
and George ID. Perkins is editor of an
influential political newspaper at
Sioux City.
1t would be strange indeed if these
gentlemen, and there are others, did
not keep the political pot a-boiling.
The Iowa democracy has retired from
politics, but there's plenty of politics
in Iowa, Notwithstanding. The issue
is "stand-pat. Secretary Shaw is a
'stand-patter;" Governor Cummins
is a revisionist. There have been
some passages of sarcasm between
these two that Senator Allison will
have to attend to if a stop is not put
to it.. The most irreconcilable "stand-
patter'' in the state is Mr.. Cousins
Mr.. Hepburn, who, by the way, intro
duced himself to congress some twenty
years ago in an eloquent speech de-
handing free trade in lumber for the
prairie farmers of Iowa, is nearly,
but not quite, as radical ''stand-pat-
ter" as his.younger, more enthusiastic
and possibly more eloquent colleague
from Cedar county. Mr.. Hull is like
wise a "stand-patter" and abomi-
mates the preachments of Governor
Cummins.
Governor Cummins is an orator
and his speech is epigrammatic. He
is going up and down the state repre-
senting to the farmers that their prod
ucts are sold at prices fixed by the
free trade markets of Liverpool, while
they must purchase farm machinery
and farm utensils of a trust that

AN ANTl-PASS PLATFORM.

At the republican state convention
held at Lincoln, Nebraska, last week,
an anti-pass plank was adopted and
inserted as a part of the platform.
The convention took the position that
free transportation used by the pub
lie officials is detrimental to the best
interests of the people. And according
to reports the republican state officers
have quietly acquiesced and returned
their passes to the railroads by whom
they were issued. Governor Mickey
says that he thinks it his duty ito act
in accordance with the wishes ofa the
republican party in the matter"
And Attorney General Brown, who,
by the way, is an Iowa man and bro
Their of Leon Brown, of the Register
and Leader, is quoted as saying that
the sincerity of the party in this mat
ter will be judged by the action of the
party officials, so he has turned in
his passes. The State superintendent
of schools puts it in this wise:
when our appropriation was made
last winter, it was made under the i'm
preston that we would not have to
pay railroad fare, so | cut down the
appropriation 81, 900 from the year be-
fore. In fact our appropriation is
less than it was twenty-five years ago.
1t will be necessary now for any
school or institution that asks for one
of us to visit it, to pay our actual ex-
penses, including railroad fare, for l
do not intend to have a deficiency.
During the last five years had we paid
our railroad fare, it would have cost
the state Az least So, 900 year. How
ever, the republican state convention
has spoken; | have heard the voice
and l shall hearken unto it,"
