O'BRIEN AND RYAN WRANGLING
Difference of Five or Six Pounds Is
Cause of Much "Hot Air"

Tommy Ryan and Jack O'Brien are
still wrangling over the details of their
proposed championship struggle, the
trouble being over the same old ques-
ton of weight. Tommy wants it 1873

poundage at 8 o'clock-a difference
that they will eventually get down to
business, and thus earn the thanks of
a slightly bored pugilistic fraternity.
O'Brien is doing a stunt at a Chicago
burlesque theatre this week and cut
ting quite a figure. His press agent
being busy on another tack, he had
no difficulty in being received as a
guest at the Auditorium Annex. and
there he resides, Win one valet, one

Only Eight Out Of 800 Men III
in The Hospital.
TYPHOID FEVER A THING OF THE PAST
SANITARY CONDITIONS OF BIG
PRISON HAVE BEEN GREAT.
LY IMPROVED OF LATE.

There is very little sickness among
the convicts at the penitentiary,
Prison Physician Mack stated this
morning. The sick list at present
does not average over one out of every
100 prisoners in the penitentiary, there
being but eight ill in the hospital at
the present time This is certainly a
fine showing, considering that there
are 500 prisoners confined in the
prison now"
Prison Physician Mack stated that
the convicts now ill are suffering from
minor complaints. There is an entire
absence of typhoid fever, which ragged
in the prison last summer, the cause
of wnich opened up a spirited contro-
versy during the recent investigation
held by the state board of audit and
control. The sanitary conditions OF
the prison has been greatly improved
and last years typhoid fever epidemic
is not likely to be repeated.

W|FE's TEARS TOO MUCH FOR COURT
William Suratt, WeII-known Engineer
Narrowly Escapes Going to
Jail Today.

William Suratt, engineer in charge
of Eugene Tausick's wood-sawing
plant, narrowly escaped going to jail
this afternoon for stealing Louis Kan's
bicycle from the stairway leading to
Armory hall, last night Suratt, wear
ing detected air, appeared in Judge
Huffman's court and promptly entered
plea of guilty to the charge
Frank Nader bookkeeper for Mr.
Tausick. interested himself in Suratt's
case and made a strong plea that
Suratt be allowed to go on parole,
promising that he would be respons-
ible for the mans future behavior.
Suratt promised to probate himself.
Mrs. Suratt, weeping over the shame
of her husband, smiled gratefully at
the court when the words were pro-
nounced setting Suratt free, and she
followed her husband out to Judge
Brents' chambers, where ne signed a
petition to place himself on the pro-
bate list

trundled it away to James Prather's
saloon, where he sold it for $3.50.
The court imposed a fine of $25,
eliminating the costs, but Mr.. Nalder's
plea and the wife's tears were too
much for his honor and Suratt was
allowed to go on parole, although the
court said it was establishing a dan

THE PASS PROBLEM.
Hanna Causes Sensation in Iowa's
Lower House.

DIES MONIES, Feb. 16.-There is so
much anti-pass legislation in Iowa just
now that the action of the railroad
committee of the fouse of representa-
tives in reporting favorably today on
a bill compelling the railroads to grant
free transportation to officials, judges
and congressman, has caused a sensa-
ton When the bill was first introduce
ed by Mr. Hanna, of Kossuth county,
it was not taken seriously by ma
jority of the representatives. and it
was supposed the measure would be
effectively disposed of in the commit
tee. Now it is even predicted that the
bill will pass the house.
Mr. Hanna declares that the bill is a
much more pleasant and effective way
of attaining all the good results that
would be accomplished by the anti
pass bill. If the giving of passes is
made compulsory, ne argues, the re-
cipients of free transportation will not
feel under obligations to the railroads,
and the evils now connected with the
free pass system will be done away
with without officials and judges be-
ing deprived of the favors they now
enjoy Nourished by these arguments,
the Hanna bill is growing. 1t may
even now stem the tide in favor of
abolishing passes which has gained so
much strength in the senate.
In the upper house there are two
stringent anti-pass bills, one of which
will be favorably reported on the floor
by the railroad committee within a few
days.

Three Addresses Delivered By
Graduates in Chapel.
INTERESTING HISTORY OF SCHOOL GIVEN
w. S. CLARK, MARVIN EVAN S
AND MRS. ROSINE STEWART
WERE THE SPEAKERS.

Some very interesting Whitman his
tory that has never before been pub
lished or brought to light was given
this morning at the Whitman college
chapel in three addresses on the
Founders Day. program. W. S.
Clark presented the earliest days of
Whitman seminary, Marvin Evans told
of the founding of the college by DR..
A. J. Anderson, and Mrs. Rosine Ed
wards Stewart gave an exceedingly in
teresting talk on the days of President
Eaton and the coming of President
Penrose.
Mr. Clark related a number of his
experiences in the seminary when it
was founded in 1866 by Mr.. Chamber
lain He gave personal recollections
of Mr.. Chamberlain and Father Eells
and concluded with letters from stu
per contained much data that have
never before been presented concern
ing this period of the school history.
Mr.. Evans considered the time when
the institution was refounded as Whit
man college under President Anderson
in 1882. In the first year the enroll
ment was increased from 35 to III. 1t
was then that the present conservatory
was built for a recitation building and
what is now Prentiss hall was re-
modelled to be used as a girls dormi-
tory In 1886 the first class was grad
uated from the college department.
During this time the library was in
creased from IA volumes, presented by
volumes. The faculty worked almost
entirely for glory, as their pay was
uncertain.
Dr. Anderson possessed wonder
full executive ability and this with the
self sacrifice of Father Eells was all
that sent the school forward instead Of
letting it die. Many noble men labor
ed for the school whose deeds and life
are not recorded and are worthy to go
down in the history of the institution.
Mrs. Stewart who was in school
under DR.. Anderson and graduated un-
der President Penrose, gave one of the
most entertaining talks that has ever
been heard given on this subject. She
told how the first football game was
played in 1893, how the Athenaeum
and Alcott societies were founded and
the custom Of a college picnic at COM
mencement was started. In 1895 DR..
Nixon visited the school and in a SER
mon prophesied how sometime a men,
orial building would be built and
imagined the inscription that would
be placed on it. In 1900 that building
was erected In concluding Mrs. Ed
wards said: 1.-THE Whitman Of today
belongs to the present students and
needs no description; it belongs just
as much to the alumni because they
helped to make it what it is; it is the
result Of the dreams of the first pio-
neers; it should be made a fitting
memorial to those who are to come
after"

In addition to the reasons advanced
for granting the petitions for good
roads. Mr.. Blandofrd filed an elaborate
and carefully considered digest of the
road law of 1893, when clearly showed
the right of the petitioners to have
their petitions granted, and the plen-
airy powers of the board to raise the
money to pay for all the improve
ments.

necessities of life. Petitioners are
willing to pay something for the graft
fication it affords them to ride over
a smooth road; to be able to come to
the city On business or pleasure with
out having clothes soiled with mud or
dust; to be able to reach the city's
schools, churches, theaters, and other
places of whatever kind over a road
that is passable in all seasons. We
assert that anything that makes it
easier and cleaner for your petitioners
living in the surrounding country to
get to the city, and enjoy what they
wish of city life and intercourse, in
creases the value of their homes and
farms; promotes social enjoyment,
makes it possible to raise the sons and
daughters on the farm, with some ad-
.vantages of city life and it's social
pleasures and graces. A man might
as but one mile at the end Of an i'm
paSsable road.
Lastly. your petitioners desire their
road to be improved, because they
wish to keep up with modern pro-
gress, even if they have to pay for it,
and the present road is no longer
tolerable or fit for the work required
of it.
