HITCH OVER WRESTLING BOUT.

Adams, Sept. 14-There is likely to be a hitch in the arrangements for the wrestling match between A. T. Lacey of this town and Bob Somer- vile of Providence, k. l., to take place within the next two week. The match was arranged but Lacy now Insists that only Eugene Buckley of the Boston Globe win be acceptable to him as referee. Lacey states that his reasons for this are that there has been SO much talk about fake matches and that he wants to have a man who if he thinks the game Is not on the level. will order the men of the mat.

THE PUGlLISTS.
CRANKY TELLS
 HIS REASON.
Had a Bet On Nelson Him. self and Therefore Called
 Bets Off-Nelson Will Not Fight Gans-Other News.

San Francisco, Sept 14.-Eddie Ora. ney now appears in the Iimelight and says that one of his reasons for de- claring bets off was the fact that he had bet 200 against 5000 that Nel. son would win the fight. Graney also believed that many people had bet on the fight with the understanding that Jeff would referee.
 In view of all these facts he deter mined that the only way to clear the horizon and give everybody fair deal was to declare all bets off.
 He figures that he lost S1,OO0 by en- tering the ring to determine the mer- its of the two great fighters. No one doubts Graney's honesty of purpose, and all admit that he refereed the contest impartially, but when the thousands of men throughout the country who bet on Nelson read that one of his reasons for declaring bets off was because he had bet himself they will say few things
 When Manager Nolan received ? check for Nelson's share of the pro, ceeds of the fight the figures did not
 
 He called Manager Jim Coffroth's attention to an apparent discrepancy of S1,000 between the check and the amount he expected to receive. It was explained to him that he had over looked the matter of Graney's fee of $1,O00 for refereeing the fight.
 Nolan storIned about it, but Mana ger Coffroth stood his ground. After losing half dozen decisions on the referee question in the last ten days he determined to win at least one. He explained that had the latter accepted Graney at any time up to the day of the fight the little horseshoers fee would have been $500 As Graney was virtually forced on by Nolan at the last minute, Manager Coffroth de- cided he was entitled to the fee which Jeffries would have received had he officiated. In discussing the matter Nolan said:
 q have charged up $666 against Coffroth and Britt, this amount being what consider their share of the ref eree's fee. If either of them ever wants to talk business with me again regarding a match with Nelson he must pay his share of that amount"
 Coffroth has maintained from the start that the fighters and not the club had to pay the referee. The Britts se- leeted Jeffries, and they paid the big fellow $1 900 he was to receive had he refereed. < They accepted Eddie Ora ney as a last resort, but they did not name him. that duty devolying upoE Nolan.
 Jimmy Britt left the city yesterday for trip through Lake county.

A FOOLISH PREJUDICE.
Objections to Pure-Bred Dairy Stock Arc Ill-Founded and
 Unwise.

The average dairy farmer has his share of unfounded prejudices, and if they are unfounded then they are fool. ish. One of these prejudices, which stands like veil between his eyes and the truth, is that which relates to pure- bred dairy cattle. says Hoard's Dairy man A great many farmers are breed ing their herds down instead of up be- cause of this prejudice. Any man who uses a grade bull shows that prejudice and is breeding his heifers and future COWS down.
 If these men would study this breed ing question. if they would obtain by reading the ideas and opinions of the best posted breeders, if they would re- fleet for a moment how all develop ment in an upward direction has been obtained, they would cast this preju- dice aside. and use only pure-bred males. The experience of the best men in cattle breeding is worth something to the dairy farmer, if he would only thing so Thousands of them do think so, and we see them providing them selves with good books and papers, wherein such experience is recorded. But where there is one such dairy farmer, there are ten who face the other way. They keep the poorest COWS. and, as if that was not enough, they breed for the coming heifer with scrub or low-grade bull. Such men do not realize what dairy farming means. They do not realize the i'm portance of having strong, prepotent dairy blood in the male, if they expect any improvement in the resulting heif- | CTS They are governed too much by prejudice and what they do not know rather than what they do know. In- variably, if we see a man developing a fine herd of COWS, he is doing just what they refuse to do. He has to travel a different road, and in a differ ent direction. -

LITTLE SWISS GIRL
THE ROMANCE BROUGHT ABOUT

Impr ession Made When Card Was Received by Young American Makes Nasty Journey to Switz-

His sister began it. That is to say Miss Storm was the sole cause of all that happened.
 It was this way-Miss Storm, who is an American from Los Angeles California, was travelling in Switzer land. Nothing of particular interest happened until one day she paused be fore a shop window. It was very attractive window, filled from floor to ceiling with colored picture post cards. And Miss Storm wanted a postcard to send to her brother in California.
 So with critical eyes she tried to pick out one that would please him most. Some were of Swiss soldiers. They were of little use, and certain. ly would not interest him. Another of William Tell was decidedly pretty. Too hackneyed, she thought. And then many were of mountain scenery, avalanches, and pretty villages. But what did her brother care for such California could show spots quite as beautiful!
 But there-why had she not no. ticed it ore?-there was just the

SURVIVORS OF BALAKLAVA.
Forty-Seven Veterans of the Light Brigade Still Living at
 Recent Date.

Fifty years ago the gallant Light brigade thundered across the field of Balaklava, and the echoes of it's hoof- beats still reyerbrate, states the Lon don Telegraph. Fifty years ago-and October 25 the grizzled veterans who are today the remnants of the Six Hundred dined together and renewed their memories of the bravest, mad. dest episode in military history. Forty-seven is the total of the sur vivors of the Light Brigade, and of them 29 attended the banquet at the Holborn restaurant. It was an in- spring sight, but it was also pathetic, for only a few of the warriors are prosperous. and many of them wore their medals bravely oa a shabby coat. and their care-lined faces and knarled hands showed that life had not been overkind to them. But they were merry on their great anniver- sary, and especially did they cheer when Mir. T. H. Roberts. the chair | man. announced the royal messages. Toa:ts were drunk in solemn silence to "our noble leader the Earl of Card igan.' Very heartily was accorded the health of Miss Florence Nightin- gale, the soldiers friend" Mir. T. H. Roberts made an earnest appeal for subscriptions. so that he could not only continue to make up the income from all sources of the old heroes to IS shillings a week, but could raise it to 91. Surely. he said, every pa triotic Englishman must feel con. science-stricken to think of a Bala. klava hero. aged about so, living on IS shillings a week.

 Quite a budget of letters arrived by mail for John Storm. He read them all before he came to the last-a pic ture postcard. Taking 1t up, he gazed at it for five minutes before remem- bering that it brought news from his sister. Having read the brief mes sage. he once more became absorbed in the pretty girl. smiling on him from her slender perch on rock.

CURIOUS CAUSE OF FAMINE.
Slave Vessels Pursued by English Gun boats Brought Ruin
 Upon Egypt.

One of the worst famines ever known ln Lower Egypt was caused by couple of John Bulls gunboats. The vessels went up into the marshes beyond Khar- toum to capture slave traders.
 The slavers, who had made up their minds not to be caught easily, made a bold bid for freedom by cutting chan nels through the mass of vegetation which lined the main stream of the Nile.
 The majority of them escaped in this way, but the channels they cut in their anxiety to get away brought ruin and famine to Lower Egypt. The current carried the masses of loose vegetation
