Many Uses of Boxing.

Boxing. one OF the best sports Of the
world when properly conducted, has been
more abused than any other in which
the public is interested and it seems
wonderful that it has been able to with
stand the many efforts that have been
made to abuse 1t for sinister purposes.
The latest use to which the sport is
being put is the booming Of mining stocks.
some Of which are apt to be OF the skin

May Be Another Return Date.

Tommy Burns and Jack O'Brien are
likely TO meet again In the ring in the
near future and It behOoves the man who
is tempted to bet occasionally on a hstic
contest to think twice, and not 70 be
carried away with what may appear TO
be very plain indications deducted from
the recent encounter between these two
men. At first glance Il would appear that
Burns would be a good man to tic up to.
He is a rugged, strong young fellow. He
has a punch, and appears well able to
stand quite a battering, and from all ac-
counts he rather likes that sort Of thing
He did not show Indications Of being n
heady fighter in the late battle. and could
not put the Finishing touch on O'Brien
when he had nm in such great distress
in the fifth round. That is, If the stories
OF the fight are to be relied on. All
things considered. Burns would look like
d good betting proposition in a finish
night, where strength and ruggedness are
always leading factors. But-and there
Is almost always a but" where
o. Brien Is concerned--don't overlook
O'Brien's ring record fin regard TO
his final meetings with the ma
jority Of his opponents. He has
always made IT a point to get all he
possibly could out Of a man before giving
him his quietus. Recall his fights with
Charley McKeever, Peter Maher. Jack
CTwin) Sullivan, Jack Williams and
others. Did O'Brien knock these men
out the first time he met them2 Not at
all; Il was easy money, and good thing
as long as II could be pushed along.
When he first met Jack williams, O'Brien
allowed him TO stay six rounds. although
he had almost to ito his hands behind
MIN to do IT, Men who bet O'Brien would
stop Williams have often said things
about that fight The next time O'Brien
met williams he put him out in a couple
OF rounds. and It was only n few weeks
later. IL may be that O'Brien was doing
MS best at Los Angeles, but there have
been nancy instances of history repeat
Ing itself. and O'Brien has always been
credited with being a far-sighted young
man.

Peculiar Des Moines Accident.

Peculiar Des Moines Accident.
Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Oct 3-An unusual
street car accident here last night had
for it's victim pretty Mary WEIGH,
daughter of prominent Eddyville res
ident, who, when hurt, was standing
near the curbing on the northeast cor
ner of the court house grounds, Fifth
and Mulberry streets. A Valley juno
ton car, No. 127, was running rapidly
south on Fifth street. The young wo-
man, noticing the unusual speed of the
car remained near the curbing, not
caring to cross the tracks in front of
the car.
The switch at the crossing was half
open. The forward trucks of the car
passed over safely. The rear trucks
took the track onto Mulberry street. In
an instant the car was derailed and
running crosswise toward the teie-
phone pole at the corner of the new
court house lot The accident happened
so quickly that Miss Welch had no time
to move. The side of the car struck
her, knocking her unconscious to the
pavement The car was brought to a
stop by smashing into the curbing. Of
ficer Butin, who saw the accident from
a distance, ran to the place and pick
ing up the unconscious woman carried
her into a nearby stairway. Other ped
estrians crossing the street had mar
row escapes from injury.

OPERATOR coNFEssEs
Told Hold Up Story as Ruse to Cover
Own Crime.

Special to Times-Republican.
Waverly, Oct. 3.-George Keller, the
night operator at the Illinois Central
depot here, has confessed that his
story OF a sensational hold-up and
smuggling. early Saturday morning, was
myth, made up to cover the crime
of which he himself was guilty. Spec
ial Agent w. S. Dineen, who came
here from Waterloo, soon became con-
WINGED that Keller was the real chl-
prit. Altho at first he failed to force
confession, another rigid examina-
ton succeeded in making Keller admit
that he himself had rified the cash
drawer and that to direct suspicion
from himself, he had stimulated an I'M
conscious condition, which he said was
the result of having been sandbagged
He took the agent to the place where
he had hidden the money, and all Of the
missing coin was recovered
He was taken before Justice d. S.
Sitter and arraigned upon a charge of
petty larceny, to which he pleaded
guilty. Owing to the youth of the Gull
prit and the fact that it was his first
offense, he was fined only $40 and
costs. Keller was compelled to pawn
his watch to obtain the money for
the payment of his fine and costs,
amounting in all to $14.85.

BAD WRECK AvERTED.
Engineer Discovers Broken Rail in
Time to Prevent Disaster.

Special to Times-Republican
Webster City, Oct. 3.-The timely
discovery of a broken rail on the curve
just south of the Northwestern depot
here, by the engineer. on the north
bound passenger, saved his train from
being wrecked and the passengers from
injury and perhaps death. The train
was late and had been making up lost
time. AS it came onto the curve only
a few hundred feet from the depot the
engineers quick eye detected some-
thing wrong with one of the rails.
There was a jerk or two which indi-
Gated that the emergency brakes had
been brought into play and the train
came to a standstill only al few feet
from where the break had occurred.
The engineer received many congra.t-
ulations for his work. A crew of men
was Immediately put to work replac-
ing the broken rail with a new one. The
train was delayed forty-fve minutes
by the mishap.
