An Autumn Luxury.

Life seems a whole lot sweeter
When election day draws near.

Leastways, that's how things appea.
Nearly every kind O. blessin'

When the candidates addressin'
Us constituents in a speech.

Seems to smile an welcome hin1

Sos to shake EN- off the limb.
An when he starts a-sayin'
How he likes us, every one,
1t is jes' like music playin',
An we're sorry when it's dons.
You kin talk bout oysters CROWN,
Plump and fine, down in the bay1
And about the reed birds shown
Greater sweetness every day:
An the other joys that beckon i
To contentment in the fall;
But the candidate, 1 reckon,
Is the one that beats them all.

BEAN INTRODUCES
AMATEUR BOXING
First Tournament Will Be Held Jan.
II at the Salt Lake
Theatre.
COMPETITORS GET MEDALS
MEAL TICKET SCRAPPERS AND
WRESTLERS ARE CUT OUT.

Willard Beams athletic extravaganza
has been set for Jan. II at the Salt Lake
theatre, and Bean promises it wilf-be the
greatest thing in the boxing and wrestl-
ing line ever seen in Salt Lake. For the
past three months he has been working
on the tournament and now says he has
an entry list of young and ambitious ma
terial that Will surprise the natives

he meal ticket brigade, which is in the
habit of doing preliminary stunts, will be
kept away ever if it is necessary to use
a loaded shotgun. The wrestling bunch,
who gather in the shekels via the fax
ing route, can only gain admission via
the box office route. Medals instead of
tainted money are to be the reward and
a contestant tC gain one of them will
have to gain a clean cut victory.
Bean has somewhat sOured on the pro-
fessiOnaI boxing game. In this he is not
alone He thinks by working up inter
est in boxing by bringing out new anna
teuI material, it will give the sport
great boost in Salt Lake and this is the
idea of the tournament.
Already some twenty or thirty young
sters have entered the tourney and many
of them could put half of the meal ticket
fighters around the country to the bad
in a couple of rounds. However, they are
in the game for the sport and not for the
money and it is Just this class of boxers
who put up the best exhibitions.
The entry list will remain open until
next Wednesday and Bean says any anna
teur in the state is at liberty TO hand in
his name. He reserves the right to re-
fuse any entry in order to keep out Lhe
meal ticket stripe of fighter and wrestler.

Five Cents Offered for Each One That
Is Killed-Big Hunt Results
in 1900 Dead.
Especial to The HeraId.)

Nephi, Utah, Jan. 6.-This city shut up
business yesterday and practically the
whole town took part in a big rabbit
hunt.
hunters from Sanpete were expected to
contest with the Nephi people, but when
the 10 o'clock train arrived only one man
came to take part, which very much dis
appointed the local hunters, and they de-
clded that they would hunt by them
selves. One hundred hunters left for the
hunting ground three miles west of the
town, where a rapid fire was kept up
until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
The rabbits We're counted and it was
found that about 1SO0 were killed. The
dead rabbits were distributed among the
poor and other people who desired them.
The hunters enjoyed a ball in the even
ing at company A armOry.
The rabbits have been doing consider
able damage to the many dry farms in
the vicinity of Nephi. Notwithstanding
there has been many hunts of this kind
each year for some years the rabbits are
still plentiful and attract much of the
time of the hunters. The county commits
sioners have placed a scent bounty on all
rabbits killed in the county during the
next thirty DAYS.

The skates, as at present constructed,
weigh about sixteen pounds and viii cost
about 800 each. Each skate is propelled
by a motor of one and One-fOurth horse

which is strapped around the waist. and

to Be Interesting.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 6-That John

success was proved when the CoIumbias
lined up against a strong picked team
and defeated the latter by a score of 10
to 0. This was the test of the feasibility
of the new contest and the excellent re-
suits of the trial have shown its worth.
Only fifteen-minute halves were played
in the test game. One touchdown was
scored in each half. Though the Column
bias came out with the score and
BANKED their opponents. the game was
one of the most exciting ever played in
the city.
Nine men compose the ice football
team, and though the fundamentals of
the gridirOn game are retained in Car
stems e. me. tagging instead of tack
ling, and the use of the fist in punts
removes the dangers that the straight
football would hold. None of the excite
ment of the dry ground contest is lost
