oBRIEN KNOCKED DOWN.

Cincinnati. Jan 2i.-Fred Cooley, a Chicago heavyweight fighter. whom Philadelphia Jack O'Brien recently GIL gagged for his sparring partner, became so excited and eager in the exhibition here yesterday that he waded in anc planted right swing to the jaw, which sent the conqueror of Bob Fftz simmons staggering to heap on the floor of the stage.
 Thus Cooley, practically unknown, accomplished in less than three rounds what Fitz. the champion and con aueror of champions, could not succeed in doing in thirteen rounds.
 OBrien and Cooley had two rounds. In the third they set 10 in lively man ner and Cooley, gritting his teeth and sIaring like man who didn't know what he was doing. closed in. and land cd the swift right swing that set Jack in A mixed ID bundle on the floor.
 O'Brien did not get up for some time. and had he been given the count he might have been out. As the result of this blow and fall. Jacks back and hin were severely bruised. but he was not otherwise seriously hurt.
 In the act of the burlesque in which o'Brien's sparring takes place about six comedians. ridiculously made up to represent pugiIistic champions. go through a lot of foolishness. One ot them especially. representing Bob Fitzsimmons. with freckles. toupee and other props" is very prominent

THE PUGILIsTS
TO MEET PALMER
Jack O'Brien After English Heavy. weight Championship -- Re suits of Battles Fought
 Last Night.

Cincinnati, O.. Jan 27.-"fhiiadel- phia. Jack O'Brien, cOnqucror of Bob Fitzsimmons, is going after the heavy weight championship of England, as we'll as that of the United States.
 O'Brien. who is appearing at local theater, yesterday accepted an offer to meet Jack Palmer ill England Ill June A few days ago lle was offered SS0O0 and his expenses to fight Palmer. but he cabled back that he wanted an as- surance of S10.000.
 Last night O'Brien received another cablegram from Newcastle. England, offering S0 per cent of iiie sate re- ceipts. which probably will. according to the British fight promoters dope. amount to something like .s15,O6O. This looks quite satisfactory to 1he sew champion and he has accepted.
 When O'Brien was in England in 1903 he made several offers to Palmer. but the latter refused them ali. The Philadelphian even posted Sl.WO for felt and expressed a willingness to al low Palmer to name the club at which the fight should take place. but there was nothing doing. Charley Mitchell. it was generally understood, intended to bring Palmer over hero soon. but the offer made by Loves would seem to indicate that the English heavy weight had decided to remain at home. If the match with Palmer is clinched O'Brien will pass up possible contests with Tommy Ryan. Marvin Hart and others. as he looks upon the Brlton as an easy marks Ryan's latest is a mes sage to James CoffrOth. the San Fran cisco fight promoter, that he will fight O'Brien at 1jS pounds. rinsside, for the middleweight championship of the world.

DON'T LIKE TEXAS.
Homcsccl>cr Says Panhandle is No
Wheat Country.

Wheat Country.
Not one man in 10 now going to
Texas to look over the real estate
field there is investing in land" said
b. NJ. Homer, who passed through the
city today from Dalhart, Texas, to
Seattle.
Mr.. Homer said that little if any
farming had been done in the pan
handle section of the state this sea-
son. where the real estate boom is
most active; most of the purchases of
land are made by spectators. and
many tracts are sold and resold sew
eral times in one week. showing that
there is nothing permanent or sub
stantial in the boom.
He says it is an excellent buffalo
grass country, fit only for cattle and
sheep, and he honestly believes that
it will be a waste of time to plow
much of the land which is being
doomed as wheat land.
II met dozens of practical farmers
in western Oklahoma, who have lived
adjacent TO the panhandle country for
10 years and none of them will risk
farming in that section. Most of them
have ridden over the country and have
run stock in Texas and Oklahoma for
years and have never looked upon il
as farming land although many of
them have been anxious to locate on
wheat land" said Mr.. Homer.

DEADLY POlSONS.
Some Queer Drugs and the Uses to
Which They Are Put.

"The venom of the rattlesnake has
been known to cure locomotor ataxia
and scarlet fever" said chemist.
Homeopathic physicians often pre-
scribe it.
You know the curara, the deadly
poison that the South American Indi-
ans smear on their arrow tips? Well.
curara is very helpful in hydrophobia.
There is a seaweed called bladder
wrack.' They make of this an anti
fat, marvellous anti-fat. BY the use
of this anti-fat | know man who re-
duced his weight forty pounds in three
months.
There is Il deadly fungus, the fly
agarlc, which unfortunate people some
times eat in mistake for mushrooms.
They make a medicine nitrate, which,
injected under the skin, causes a CO.
pious flow of tears. French actresses
in weeping scenes, such rs La Dame
aux Camelias, have sometimes used
this drug.
Cocaine causes wakefulneSs. | once

exhilarates and removes all desire for

EXCITEMENT ON RESERVATION.
\ Recent "Ordcr" Only Allowed John
Todd to Drive Under Restrictions.

Considerable excitement has been
apparently created on the reservation
by the recent order allowing cattle to
cross the reservation. The order
which was wired to Agent Edwards
merely directed him to permit John
Todd to take cattle across under GER
tain restrictions, and no general in
structions have yet been received.
However, Colonel Raley, who rep
resented the stockmen with the gov
ernment, says that special permission
was asked for Todd, and for this rea-
son the order was sent by telegraph.
1t is his belief that a general order
permitting cattle to cross the reser-
walton under the restrictions named,
will shortly be received by Major Ed
wards.
