STATE IN GOOD SHAPE.
Fine Showing for Present Admins.
tratiOn-Plenty OF Funds and
Some tG Snare.

notwithstanding the payment of
$45S 900 OF extraordinary expenses in
1905 and in 1906, up to July1 of this
year. the books of the state auditors
Office show a balance Of $204,00O In
the general fund at the beginning of
the fiscal year, July 1. In the re-
cent primary campaign in the state
it was charged that the administration
was In a bad way financially. and that
the general fund was depleted.
The appropriations OF the legisla-
ture two years ago included extra
ordinary expenses of several hundred
thousand dollars for new buildings at
the state institutions, made necessary
by rapid growth of the institutions.
In addition to these expenses large
sums OF Indebtedness had been con-
tracted bp previous administrations for
additional buildings, in the expectation
that bonds could be issued to meet
them. These bonds were declared in
valid by the supreme court, and 1t was
necessary for the sums to be paid from
the ordinary revenue.-Mayville Tri-

ZURICH WON.

Sadly disfgured but victor, Cur
ley Ulrich Of Superior passed through
the city Saturday enroute home from
Wahpeton. where Friday night he met
and vanquished Clarence Whitehead.
The fight lasted fifteen rounds and
both men were on their feet when
time was called. The decision was
given TO Ulrich. however
Both Ulrich and Whitehead are we'll

tiers for several months. lie was Il
familiar figure in police court pro-
ceedings during his sLjourh here.
Whitehead, it is claimed. entered
the ring Friday weighing 172 pounds,
whereas his white opponent weighed
only 139 pounds.
The matching of Sam Berger and
Jack O'Brien has served to renew
the interest in the heavyweight ques-
ton, which had lapsed since the de-
parture of O'Brien for Europe. But
the real interest is not in the bout
between Berger and O'Brien, but in
what that bout may lead to. 1t is
confidently predicted that the outcome
will be a match between the winner
and James Jeffries. and that the affair
will take place in Goldfield next
spring. The managers of the Gold
field A. c. are discussing the size
of the purse that will be necessary
to get JEFF into harness. and it is
figured that about $4,000 or $4,000
will be required.

the nurse hung up for the Gans-Selson
affair, the boilermaker coming to the
conclusion that he can raise a crop

to produce on his farm.

ICES that few good purses of the
size of those that are fashionable
with the Goldfield people would put
him in position where he would not
be called on to farm or fight for
the remainder OF his life. The fact
that he expects to go to San
Francisco and open saloon is
taken as proof positive that he has
made up his mind to get back into
the fighting game.
The San Francisco fighting clubs
would like to have match with
Jeffries in it, and Coffroth has been
trying for many day to lure the big
fellow from his farm. but without
success. 1t follows. as a matter of
course, that in a bidding match be-
tween San Francisco and Goldfield,
the miners will win, as they do not
seem to care for a few dollars when
it comes to getting the bout they
have their hearts set on.
Therefore, if the coast promoters
begin to bid for the fight, the miners
will have 1t if it takes 100000 to get

champion. Berger estimates that
JEFF will have to take at least so
pounds of flesh. and that the operation
of training would SO weaken the big
fellow that he would not be effective
in the ring. Berger advances the
opinion that as Jim Corbett caught
Sullivan when lie was on the down
grade. and that Jeff beat Fitz when
the old gladiator was failing. 1t would
not be surprising ii he caught JEFF
and beat him at a time when the boil
ermaker was not SO good as he was
some years ago.
Berger seems to think that his
twenty-round bout with O'Brien can
have only one ending. and that a
victory for Berger. but there are sew
eral Missourians in the field.
Suppose, for the sake OF argument.
that Berger won the right to meet
jeff In the ring. it does not follow
that the youngster would win the bout.
1t JEFF trains slowly and carefully, he
would have his strength with him
when he got into the ring. In any
event. he would have that punch and
the ability to Withstand punishment,
and these things would enable him to
beat either Berger or O'Brien.
1t may with propriety be called to
the attention of young MIR. Berger
that he is neither Corbett OF the
ability shown by the Pompadour at
the time he beat Sullivan. nor is Ber-
ger to be compared to jeff at the time
the boilermaker beat Fitz.
Day by day, as the little golden
pile OF Sam Berger's stage money
grows bigger and bigger. the public
is losing faith in the so-called boy
champion. There is no difficulty in
accounting for the loss of Berger's
popularity.
This two-hundred-pound fighter had
one real encounter in the ring. and
the result of it was in his favor.
That was his surround scrimmage
with Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. Armed
with Il knowledge of plenty of favor
abel criticism. Berger Immediately
sought work on the stage. He wanted
to be a fighter. but he also wanted
to shine under the limelight
Having succeeded in his limited
ambitions. Berger proceeded to issue
manifestoes. One OF these declared
that he wanted to fight James J.
Jeffries. the heavy weight champion
of the world. Berger was asked
whether he really thought he could
defeat the great Jeffries and why.
His answer was somewhat as follows:
Il am certain that can beat
Jefferies. The big fellow now weights
over 250 pounds, and in order to meet
ME in the ring would have to do con-
siderable training. The training
would force him to lose close to fifty
pounds. BY that time he would be
so weak that | could finish him easily"
When Billy Nolan was asked why he
insisted on Cans weighing no more
than 1873 pounds in the recent fight at
G"ld6eld the astute manager OF the
once glorious Battling Nelson replied:
Cans cannot make that weight and
be strong. Nelson will have no
trouble beating Cans at 1873 pounds,
because the smoke will be too weak
to put up his best fight"
Events proved that Nolan was
wrong.
If Berger should happen to get a
match with Jefferies events might
provo that he is also wrong in his
dope.

Automobilinq

In the number of break downs that
have occurred during the elimination
trial of the Vanderbilt race is found
considerable justification for the criti-
cism of some conservative makers that
the rate of speed has reached point
where the weight limit OF 2,2O4 pounds
is too low and racing cars are built
too light to stand the racking incident
al to ninety-five miles an hour.
President Charles Clifton of the as
ISOLATION of licensed automobile manu-
facturers in commenting upon the
Vanderbilt elimination race said it was
further demonstration of the SUI
periority gained through the mechani-
cal cooperation of the licensed max
ers, as four of the five cars that fin
ished were licensed machines. while
the fifth is of brand not being made
for market. 1t was reinforcement of
the demonstration made on the Gid
den tour when twelve OF the thirteen
cars that finished with perfect scores
were of licensed make.
The lessons of automobiling, like
those of life, are learned by going over
rough rather than smooth roads.
In the pioneer days when cars were
smaller and men were generally their
own chauffeurs, it was considered
sportmanslike to be strenuous and to
ride in the winter in an open car.
The enthusiasts of a FEW years ago
would have scorned an enclosed body
as something effeminate. Now 1t is
vastly different and the limousine body

lower grade cars do not make them.
erican cars have Limousine modes. In
the case of the Arrow cars, speci-
atty is being made now of this type,
the factory being run late into the
summer to put out a separate line
with new style of body for the
fall trade.
BY excellent management of the
elimination trials, the racing board Of
the American Automobiling associa-
ton has demonstrated that body to be
the proper one to control the sport
The new chairman has won his spurs.
A party of New Workers., in high
powered touring car, were running
swiftly along the old Boston post road
through the white plains when little
girl darted across in front of the ma
chine and but for the prompt action
of the driver would have been crushed.
1t happened right near the Kelley in
stitute and party of three pedestrians
who probably were patients there were
within a few yards at the time. One
of them began to execrate the motor
lists, saying that If the child had been
killed they would have lynched the
driver. After this explosion, he added:
They have consumption cures and
booze cures, but what we need is an
automobile cure for dopey drivers"

Rowing

A report reached the Harlem river
yesterday by the way of Toronto,
Canada. that James Wray, the Aus
tralian sculler and coach of Harvard
university, would not return to Cam
bridge but would go to Australia for
the purpose of rowing special match
with George Touns. the worlds soul
ling champion. Wray did not come
back with the Harvard men on Satur-
day and not a word was said as to
his whereabouts. There is a rumor
current that the blame for the de-
feat of Harvard by Cambridge has
been laid on Wrays shoulders and he
has not been pleased with the COM
plfment.

formerly with the Weld Boat club of
Harvard, was visitor at he Harlem

the winter and early spring warning
him to be ont the lookout for the
supposed masquerader.
Mr.. Crabtree, his wife and his sister
Lolita spent the winter at Savannah,
Ga, and Nut Boy was wintered there.
Lolita took a great fancy to the rangy
racy looking big bay trotter, and It
was her custom then as now to spend
an hour or SO In his stable every day.
The high strung horse seemed to re-
spond to the petting and codiling he
received at the hands of the once
famous Coincidence, for the erstwhile
runaway has grown to be one OF the
most reliable trotters Of the Grand
circuit. This was demonstrated at
Hartford last week, when he scored
for forty minutes in a field of sixteen
fast horses without once making
break.
Nut Boys first notable race this
season, was at Rochester. N. Y, on
June %, when he won on half-mile
track in 2:11 IA. His next start was
at Albany. where he was iistanced by
Jimmy Michael on July "a. Striking
the Grand circuit at Buffalo he won
there on August 8, trotting In 2:09 ID;
repeating the victory and the record
as well at POughkeepsie on August Is,
and going from there to Boston, won
the $4,000 Massachusetts states ON
August "a in 2:09 3-4. One week later
he finished second to Mainsheet ana
Leonardo in 2:O8 ga, 2:071-4 and
2:081- on the same track, and then
came the race for the $4,000 Charter
Oak stakes at Hartford, which he won
in 2:07 and 2:07 1-2.
In falling into the hands OF his
present owner Nut Boy was quite as
lucky as Lolita as in finding so great
horse. Instead of ending his life
in peddlers wagon. as he seemed in
fair way to do few years ago, he
will have good home as long as he
lives. The wealthiest of American
actresses loves horses for something
more than their racing qualities, and
at squantum. Mass, she and her
brother have farm where all good
campaigners go when their usefulness
on the trotting turf is past.

GAME PLENTIFUL.
Associated Pres. to The Event,

Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
Bangor, Me-, Oct. 1.-Maine's DEER
hunting season opened today and will
continue until December Is, Sundays
excepted. According to reports
brought down from the woods by men
who have been camping and canoe
ing, game is very plentiful this year,
having wintered we'll and enjoyed
better protection than usual this sum-
mer. According to the figures of the
fish and game commission about g..
900 deer and 500 moose are killed
every season in the Maine woods.
The best hunting is in the regions
about the Penobscot river Moosehead
lake and Aroostook county. While
the shooting of big game is sport
and pastime for the men from the
cities. it has some to be regarded by
the Maine country folk chiefly as a
source of revenue, and as such is
pronounced a great success.

HURT IN RUNAWAY.

Kramer, N. D., Oct. John Travis,
a brother of the liveryman, Ira Trav-
Is of Overly, met with what might
have been a fatal accident while
working with his brother in the 500
yards at that place. Their team be-
came frightened at the noise made by
an incoming freight and ran away.
Ira jumped from the dray, but his
brother stayed till the dray was
struck by the moving train. when he
was hurled through the air over the
horses heads. striking the pit of his
stomach on the end of a tie. He was
taken to DR.. Casavaw's rooms and
at first there was but little hope held
out for his recovery. but II no compli-
cations occur he will soon be around
as we'll as ever.

cured to coach the football team at
Chestnut Hill Academy, to succeed DR..

sionary to China. A large squad of
candidates were put out to the first
practice yesterday. Seven of last
years team are back, including Cap
tain Monroe. Layton. Elder, Roebline,

is very light. The schedule as ar
ranged is as follows: Friends Central,

Alvin C. Kranzelein, the old Penn
sylvania track athlete who still holds
the worlds records in the 100 and 22O
yard hurdles, had lot to say about
the letter from Coach Yost, the Michi-
gan football man. In this letter Yost
stated that Michigan had poor pros
poets and that the team would only
have three old varsity men back, with
possibility of another making good in
his work. Three others of the varsity
are also kept out by conditions and
will not be able to play, so the letter
states.
AS Kranzelein has been track coach
at Wisconsin, one OF Michigan's great
rivals in the West, and has seen the
Michigan teams of the past few years
IN their big games, he is competent to
tell the real story about Michigan this
fall.
krangelein ran his eyes over the
letter when it was shown him and
stated that most of the men whom
Ycst classed as substitutes were on the
first team an instance was that of
half-back Clark who will be remember
ed as the man who made the bad play
against Chicago last year, which lost
Michigan that game. AS to the men
who were not eligible at present be-
cause of lack of work. Kranzelein said
they would all be on hand as Michigan
had been waiting for years for
chance to get at the best Eastern team
and they would have the best team in
their history this fall. Kranzelein
thinks Garrels, Curtis, Schultz and
Graham the very pick of Western foot
ball men, these four will be seen on
Franklin Field in the big Pennsyl-
vania- Michigan game.
Alumni Won Game.
In the first game OF football played
at Fargo this season the alumni team
won from the high school by score
of IL to 6. Members of the high school
team don't think much of the commit
tee that changed the rules this sea-
son, especially relating IT, the ten
yards to be gained in three downs.
They found it impossible to. make the
required gain by straight football. and
stated that the contes: got close to a
baseball game.

Back in the little town Of Abel, Ia,
DR.. Timothy j. Caldwell is an import

president of the bank, pillar in the
church. shining light in all social
affairs, and owns considerable prop

nent citizens"
However, DR.. Caldwell's 68 years Of
life have not all been one continual
round Of success, for both the young
| woman he selected as his life partner
years ago and the doctor found mar
rage most dismal failure. The result
was that their marriage bonds were
severed by the divorce court.
This fact did not make DR.. Caldwell
pessimistic and convince him that all
marriages are failures. All that was
necessary, in the Doctors opinion was
to find q congenia1 companion. When
