JEFFRIES LOSES
FRIENDS IN NEVADA

TONOPAH, Nevada, December 24.-Jack
WEIGH has replaced Jim Jeffries as the ref
cree Of the Gans-Herman fight. Riley
thought Jeffrfes was to act; Herman
thought SO; Cans thought so, and the gen.
eral sporting public thought so. but Jim
Jeffries did not think So Manager Riley has
been unable to get single word from JEFF
fries since he was notified of his being
named.
On account Of Jeffries' indifference in the
matter Riley wired WEIGH asking him to
act WEIGH accepted. In the light of Jeffries'
previous acceptance Of the refereeship It is
hard to reconcile his later retra elton, and
they are saying all kinds of hard things
against the pugilist farmer. One agitator
suggested that the big fellow was over-anx-
ious to avoid gambling house debt he con-
tracted here.
Let the good work go on" said Manager
Riley today. "Jeffries treated me far from
right and am not for him. like man
who does business on the level 1 went out
and made the fight for Jeffries when he ac-
cepted my offer. and then when l win out
he won't even answer my message. leave
it to any one if that is square,
Herman was pegging in hard today He
does not seem to care for let-ups. When
Lewis forces him to lay off he acts as
though he had to make up for it before
hand and Adam. his sparring partner, suf-
fers for It,
cans set up a swift training pace from
the jump today. He cut loose at the bag in
a way that made his trainer fidget for the
wind sacks future. Joe didn't worry. He
was as frisky as a colt and just played
with his trainers The crowd that thrones
his quarters every day was delighted and
Joe seemed to feel that he was doing some
thing out of the ordinary
His blocking and ducking brought rounds
of applause, and he just flashed a smile at
the crowd and sailed in again. Does that
look as though old age was piyiup mo a
hard run?'' he said, as he rested a moment.

Well, 1 guess I'll last a year or two

Ollie Pickering sent to Columbus by

Japanese Wanted in Brazil.

Consul General G. f. Anderson writes to
the Department of Commerce and Labor
from Rio de Janeiro that the need OF labor
for the development of Brazil has led to a
strong movement in Sac Paulo for the i'm
portation of large number OF Japanese.
The proposition now favored is to ask the
authority of Congress for the Introduction
Of 10000 Japanese subjects at once. That
something in this line Will be done seems to
be beyond doubt at the present Time ana
the need of additional labor felt so keenly
during the harvesting of the immense cof
fee crop now being shipped has
brought the matter to an acute point. S.
Kumabe, secretary of one of the agricul-
tural boards in Japan, has just gone TO Sac
Paulo to investigate the possibilities of rice
culture in that state.

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
Continued from Seventh Page.)

(Continued from Seventh Page.)
 The Pennsylvania road has made money by increasing it's stock and thereby paying for much needed in- creased facilities. It is now able to handle a greatly increased business ow- ing to this outlay, which it could not have handled without it. So it Is ar gued will be the case with the B. and 0. road.
 Henry Clews says: On the other hand, while money continues so sarce there is no opportunity for any excess siye bull movement. We may expect frequent rallies, based on encouraging outside conditions and the fact that large holders are interested in higher prices. Our advice, however, would be to take profits when the market is strongest and reinvest only on the pro- nounced declines, which are likely to be more and more frequent as the sea- son progresses. In all directions prices are exceedingly high, too high for per- manency, and moderate recessions in both commodities and securities would be desirable and wholesome.

 "The psoriasis first made it's appear ance in red spots, generally forming circle, leaving in the center aspot about the size of silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form heavy dry scale of white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, al-, though it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If 1 let the scales remain too long without remov- ing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. l suffered intense itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable.
