MAYOR IS GONE. TOWN BROKE
Tampico, III. HeadIess and With Rev
enues stopped, Asks for Help.

Tampico Ill, May lis there any
city in the United States that can spare
its mayor Is there any town that
can lend for a few months its executive
head? If so. please notify Tampico.
For Tampfco's mayor has decamped to
Canada and left the burg in hopeless
tangle
The mayors name is Kemp. but if
he fingers much longer in the north
the citizens of TamDico threaten to
change the X to an H and act upon
the Inspiration. Kemp is in Canada,
and the board of aldermen. stands at
loggerheads with three of its members
high license advocates and three
stanch "drys" Worst of all. May 1
was. the day for payment of license
feasS but, owing to the absence of the
mayor and the tangle In the council,
there was none to say whether the
dramshops should remain in business
or not and therefore the owners re-
fused to make first payments. The re-
and the CITY is not only without license
money, but the thirsty wayfarer is I'M
able to humor his hobby
In desperation Tampico endeavored
TO settle matters a few nights ago. The
high license aldermen had consulted
a lawyer, who advised them to hold
a meeting and elect dry mayor pro
tenn. which in no sense would change
the lineup in the council. but would
give TamDico an authoritative head.
The no-license aldermen were warned
and got the first move. They nomi-
mated a high license councilman for
mayor pro tenn. and the vote stood 8 to
3. Every member of the body was pIa ced
i in nomination during the session, and
the vote remained the samoa tie.
/ Then all went home disguised.
/ In the meantime Mayor Kemp keeps
writing home that he is still mayor
and will not surrender the Office. This
/ has enraged his best friends, for few
months ago. when Kemp went to Can
ada, his high license supporters agreed
to furnish him transportation once a
month to his home city Kemp, how
ever. has made no trip here, and the
no-icense people are secretly elated

This is the first authoritative state

the presidency in 1908. The letter is
personal and his comment on the ma

to the public from the fact that it is the
frank utterance of a party leader to a

I had something TO DO with TINS
erlv CITY attorney. The street railway
company got an extremely liberal
franchise. There is no question that It
is favorable At the time that the propo-
sition was first sprung, that the street
railway, with all these rights should
spring in here and ask for rights the
same as the Rock Island. the Santa Fe
and these other railroads to haul
freight. nobody. thought for minute
at the time that It would be granted
but they got it through some way. II
was finally consented to as a comprO-
mise to let them haul freight between
the hours from IL o'clock at midnight
to 5 o'clock in the morning. The street
railway has made good IN its improve
chise It hasn't.

CANS ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
CoIOred Boxer Says Only Nelson Gets {
Chance After Herman.

New York Nov 27.-"Yes. I am going
to fight lid Herman at TOnonah, New,
January 1. and that will be my last fight,
said Joe Cans, the champion light weight
boxer, in Baltimore There will be only
one possibility of my going into the ring
again; that is if Battling Nelson really
wants to fight me and will make terms
to suit me. / mean by this not such
terms as will give me every advantage,
was given him at Goldheld but any
thing that IS fair square and equitable.
Yes, I would be more than glad to fight
him again. After that 1t is good-by to
the ring for Joe Cans.
My reason for retiring is, first, that I
have now enough money to keep me the
rest of my days. When you consider that
I have been fighting for more than half
of my life and do not have to keep it
up, you cannot blame me for going out
of the game at the top notch of success
and before reverses come with advancing
years.
After this weeks show I shall return
to San Francisco and will follow M my
efforts to enjoin the pictures. I viii get
there about December 1 and four days
later will be in Tonopah and start to
train FOR Kid Herman"
Among the assets of Cans are 1000
shares of gold mining stock presented to
him by the miners of Goldfeld. When
he got them they were worth $50 share.

good crowd. The street car facilities
at the ball grounds are excellent and a
crowd of an almost indefinite number
can be cared for at this place. Bad
weather should have no effect upon the
attendance as all the grand stands are
properly enclosed so that any inclem-
ency of the weather would work ne
hardship on the spectators. Besides a
large number of people can be accom-
modated with plenty of sitting room
and none will be compelled to stand
up during the game. The seats are SO
arranged that much better view can
be secured of the game than at any
other grounds in the city. This will
be the first game to be played at the
ball park, which will in all probability
after next Thursday be a very popular
place for football games.
The two teams are probably the
most evenly matched denominational
school teams in the state. Both insti-
tutions are of about the same size and
a good deal of rivalry exists between
the two. Wherever college spirit is
present good game is bound to be
the result.
According to the dope of the season
the game ought to be about as interest
ing as anything in the football line
which has been uncorked in Topeka
this season. Both teams have played
about the same schedule and have been
uniformly successful in winning their
games. Perhaps the games with the
Normal present the best line of dope
