Kid Parker of Denver and Spo-
kane and aJck O'Keefe of Chicago
have been matched to fight in Spo-
kane before the Spokane Amateur
Athletic club on the night Of Feb.
8. The two boys are to weigh in at
1876 pounds at o'clock the day of
the fight.
This match has been discussed
ever since O'Keefe was whipped by
Honey Melody in the 14th round
of 20 round go before the S. A.
A. c. Nov. "a last. O'Keefe will,
without a doubt, be a favorite in
the betting, as he has found and
won from some of the best men in
the country. He fought Jimmie
Gardner 20 round draw in Salt
Lake. He has fought Kid Her
man two draws, Buddy Ryan three
draws and lost one decision, fought
Jimmie Britt twice, winning one
fight on a foul and getting draw
at the end of the Goth round. and
fought Honey Melody four times.
He won one fight from the Boston
boy, got one draw, lost one deci-
sion and lost the last fight in Spo-
kane by being knocked out in the
14th.
Parker has been practically out
of the big fighting game for two
years, but is getting rapidly back
into form. He has been seen in
Spokane several times. One of
the best fights ever seen in Spokane
was between Maurice Thompson
of Butte and Parker. 1t was 20
rounds of fighting. Parker, like
OKeefe, has long record in the
dope work.
He began training yesterday.

1t is more than likely that the
Spokane fans will get an opportun-
ity to see Joe Heinrich, the S. A.
A. c. boy, wrestle one of the best
men in the world. Tom Davis, who
claims he is the champion middle
weight of England, passed through
Spokane yesterday en- route for
Montana. He stated when seen
that he would be back in Spokane
within a few days and would then
talk about a wrestling match with
the Spokane boy.

heavily on the stock exchanges of
Europe and was regularly fleeced.
Within three years he was reduced
to absolute restitution. His friends
deserted him and he was left alone
to start a new career under the
most unfavorable circumstances at

After some futile attempts to
earn money, young Michailoff en-
barked on a criminal career. At
first he carried on minor financial
swigdles. Later he became an en-
pert hotel thief and a perpetrator
of larger financial frauds, much OF
his success being due to his dstin-
guished manners. After two years
he was arrested at Moscow and
sentenced to prison, He served two
years and then led band of bur-

When the nomination day comes

The candidate generally has many
of these papers filled to show the

the nominations must be taken
within two days of the issue of the
writs, and the elections must ensue
within three clear days of the NOM

ENGLAND ELECT|NG
ITS new PARL|MENT
Special Correspondence of The
Press.

LONDON, Jan. II. British
politicians are conducting a gen.
eral election, affecting every con-
stituency of the British Isles. A
new parliament is to be elected
England has 465 representatives,
in the house of commons, Wales 80,
Scotland ~ and Ireland 1903.
The British registration is slow
and tedious. Every September
what are known as revising barris-
tiers go through the voters lists,
while representatives of the Con-
sentative and Liberal parties try
to knock off names of their ,oppon-
ents' supporters. Occupiers of
houses and owners of property are
placed on the electoral lists by the
rate collector as soon as they be-
come payers Of rates. But dodgers
have to be hunted out by the party
canvassers and must be in resi-
dence in one place IL months previ-
GUS to the revision courts. AS it
is 20 years since the present seats
Were apportioned some constituent
cies have only 1000 electors while
others have 10000 electors.
In an election writs are issued by
the lord chancellor to the mayors
of boroughs and the sheriffs of
counties. In Scotland and Ireland
the sheriffs alone act. There are
also election officers, who arrange
for all the polling booths, the re-
cording of votes, the nomination OF
candidates. the counting of the
votes from the ballot boxes and the
declaration Of the results. Then
when the result is secure, the sher-
iff or mayor gives the new member
his writ emitting him to a seat in
the house, without which he cannot
pass the speaker and sign the roll.
Elections Were Crooked.
Previous to 1888 British politics
were VIGOROUSLY corrupt and votes
could be boughC at any price from
the kiss of a duchess to 10 pound
note from candidate. In that
year a corrupt practices act of
great stringency was passed pro-
hibiting any but the actual neces-
sary expenses Of election and or
dering every candidate to furnish
strict accounts of his costs to gov
eminent examiners. The record
expense for an election was in 1901,
when Yorkshire, with $4,000 elect
ors, cost two candidates 1900, 900,
or $G5 for each vote polled. In 1880
the last openly corrupt election
$10,000,000 was spent, or SO per
vote. In the election of 1885 the
cost per vote fell to 81 a head, and
since then the tendency has been
still downward.

CLEANING UP
old CHICAGO
(Scripps News AssociatiCn.)

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE owners
of the dives which cluster around
the lower part of the down town
district, have been notified by the
chief of police that they will not
be tolerated in that locality after
May 1, 1906. This announcement
at first caused considerable con-
sternation and surprise among the
owners, who are mostly ward poll
texans of considerable pull and have
heretofore enjoyed immunity, if
not actual protection from the dem
ocratic administration.

dates $500 to fight an election.
The heavy item of the returning
officers charges are the most OBJ
jected to. They vary from $500 to
$500 in towns and from $3.50 to
$4,000 in country constituencies,
and the two or more candidates
have to share them equally. In adj
dition, the candidate has the cost
of his head and branch committee
rooms, his pictorial posters, win
dow cards, meetings and literary
persuaders for wavering electors.
He has to be very careful, for if
the voter is taken to the poll in a
hired vehicle, or is given even
campaign button or ribbon ros-
cite to induce him to vote, the new
member may be unseated for cor
rupt practices.
Nursing" Constituency.
But though these open things are
not done there is the insidious form
of bribery known as nursing" a
constituency. Members already in
position have the advantage. They
can do many things, such as giving
receptions at which electors may
have free dinners, though for a new
candidate to do this is bribery.
Both can and do lavish subscrip-
tons on athletic clubs, religious or

cieties. Candidates wives open ba-

In the party rooms the voluntary
workers come and go with increas-
ing enthusiasm, canvassing cleo
tors from house to house. lending
carriages or autos at the polls, or
dragging reluctant voters to the
booths.

Stole an Identity.
AS Michailoff and Kasteleff were
about as old as one another and
similar in appearance, it was an
easy matter for the former to as
sumo the name and identity of the
latter. Henceforth the exx-convict
Michailoff existed 70 more, and in
his place there lived a distinguish
ed and ambitious young state Off
cial named kasteleff. The real
Kasteleff had occupied a post in

so the false Kasteleff made his way

der some preteXt or other re-enter-

transferred to LODI, where he was
attached to the personal staff of
the governor, M. Petrikoff. Michai-
loft, alias Kasteleff, rose from rank
to rank, and was we'll on his way
to the highest post in the Russian
empire.
There were still friends and rela-
tives of the real Kasteleff at War
saw who had never been able to
understand what had become of
him. Chance led to the astounding
discovery that the Kasteleff at Lodz
was in truth none other than the
notorious criminal, Michailoff. He
was speedily arrested, loaded in
chains and incarcerated again.
