Now watch the victors vulturize
old man Allison. The same crow d
killed Dave Henderson and when they
finish old man Allison, the greatest
man the party ever produced in Iowa,
not only will the state be blanked,
but Dubuque will be a thing OF the
past as home of political greatness,
says the Oelwein Record. Dave
Henderson and William b. Allison
have attracted more attention at Wash
igton than any other two men that
Iowa has produced. AS the mold is
broken, it is not likely that the state
will regain the same prominence
again in many years to come.

BATTLING NELSON

the last year descriptive of Billy Nolan
the impression became extant that he
was wild and wooly animal just out
Of the jungles.
On the contrary, he is bigger dis
appointment than Battling Nelson. He
is mild hammered, soft spoken and
genteel in appearance and word and
bellies in every particular the printed
descriptions of a loud mouthed, hairy
monster of dangerous proclivities.
Nolan is not an amateur in the
money nIaAiiiS business and when he
"hollered' after being "stung" at
Frisco the newspapers of the northern
city gave him a roasting that i'm
pressed the sporting world outside of
Frisco that he was a noisy individual,
inclined to kick up a fuss on short
notice.
With an eye always open to business
Nolan has been a success as a man
ager of fight clubs and fighters and
with a money getter like Nelson on
his staff it is probable that he will
maintain this reputation.

he needs the money md will come to
Los Angeles forthwith and begin train
ing to the limit.
Jacobs has secured training quarters
at Casa Verdugo and will have them
fitted and ready for Herrera within a
few days. A corps of trainers and as
sistants will remain at the camp during
the training season and hard work will
be the order of business during all
waking hours.
Eyton May Referee
The referee question will be settled
in all probability within a few days
and is not expected to give the man
ayers of the two little scrappers any
great amount of trouble, as neither is
looking for any of the best of it in this
regard.
Since it is practically assured that
none of the Frisco referees will be
asked to serve, owing to the strained
relations between the Frisco promoters
and McCarey. it is probable that

ever, and will arrive Sunday or Mon
day.
Attell will be accompanied by Harry
Pollock, his manager, and will estab-
ish training quarters Immediately after
he arrives and get down to hard work
at once.
Having been kept busy in the last
few months outpointirg the down east
feathers, he is in fair condition, but
will train hard because he will be up
against the hardest man in his division
when he meets frankie Neil and it is
not probable that he will take any
chances of losing his title.
Neil will train at Croll's at Frisco
and will not be in Los Angeles until a
few days before the battle, which is
scheduled for April 20.

WASHINGTON. April Especial ef-
fort is being made by the bureau of
insular affairs of the war department
to have Philippine students in the
United States as wards of their home
government interest themselves in ath-

Jimmy Britt, than whom none is
more popular in the fight game on the
coast, has added unimaginable degrees
of popularity to his already large stock
by manfully coming through with the
emphasized disavowal of the stories
emanating from the fight trust to the
effect that he is a sorehead and must
be the leading LADY, or he won't play
in McCarey's fistic carnival during
Fiesta week.
Lurid kilograms from Frisco startled
the local fans with the news CD"
that Jimmy would call off his date with
Kid Herman in Los Angeles and trans
fer the scene of battle to one of the
fight trust clubs in Frisco, alleging
that because McCarey had festooned
fights previously and subsequently to
his date Jimmy would mo fight"
In his own quiet and unassuming
manner. Jimmy came across Monday
with a telegram to MCCarey to reserve
the North Beach bath house at Santa
Monica for his training quarters and
thereby put at rest all idle and jeal-
ously inclined rumors that the Britt
Herman fight would be wiped off the
calendar by the envious fight trust.
Britt has no fears, and he need have
none, that his battle will not be a great
drawing card. Neither will the Neil
Attell or Nelson Herrera battles draw
a nickle out of the Britt Herman scrap.
Jimmy's admirers in Los Angeles
may not be as numerous as in Frisco,
but they are in a sufficiency to guaran-
tee that there will be no vacant seats
in the Maud junction pavilion on the
right he hooks up with the Ghetto
champion and the efforts of the fight
trust at spelling the game here will
have but one effect, that of sending out
IS. r. O." sign on the night he steps
into the local ring.
Britt has cemented the friendship of
local sportsmen by his manly action
and he will be greeted by one of the
biggest houses ever assembled to wit
ness a boxing exhibition in Los An
geles, and only the limited accommo-
dations of the pavilion will determine
the size of the audience
Abe Attell was delayed in his de-
parture from New York for Los An
geles and did not get started on his
transcontinental journey until yester-
day morning. He is now en- route, how

Cold facts and figures, says the
News-Leader, confound those who
predicted that the experiment OF the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad in reducing its passenger rate
to two cents a mile would cause a
loss to the company of S7OO,OO an
nually. The reduction has been IN
effect long enough to receive thor
ough test, and it is now announced
that it has benefited the road tinan-
cially. An official statement is that
the increased travel has not only
made good the predicted loss, but
actually increased cne gross receipts
In this connection it is affirmed, on
the authority of the Railway Gazette
that the Ontario and Western road
which, some time ago, lowered its rate
to the same figure, has had similar
experience. Also, it is reported tha'
the Ohio roads, which, it will be re
membered, fought vigorously the two

by the difference between the old AM

the News-Leader very properly ar
rives at the conclusion, that there ma.
be light for our State corporation
commission when it comes to conslde
the question Of fiat two-cent rat
for all the Virginia roads, and NEE
the objections the companies ma
urge to it.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER %, 1906.

At q conference of the directors ana
;nspectors OF the Produce exchange
at Onley on Wednesday reports were
read from the purchasers OF our sweet
potatoes this season showing thaV
some of it put upon the market was
not only, not up to the standard III
quality of previous years. but SNORT
in measure and unfit for use because
of its damaged condition when re-
ceived. These complaints came from
MANY sections of the country ana
from many parties, heretofore SO
well satisfied with the potatoes mark
ed with "Red Star" as to leave no
one in doubt in attendance at the
meeting, that some OF our farmers
had not given the proper care TO the
marketing of their staple produc'
this year. These charges being true
all must agree, that the purchaser
has a lust cause for complaint. When
he buys a barrel of potatoes, guaran-
teed by the Exchange to be hrsI-
class. he has the right to expect 1t 70
be well filled and properly culled, ano
it is, of course inferior in quality anc
unsatisfactory to the purchaser upor
its arrival in market, if left III th'
field TO sunburn before being put int
a barrel, as it is stated, has often beer
done this season.
The directors of the Exchange
therefore, very properly concluded OF
Wednesday that it is up to the farm
ers to see that greater care is exer
cised by them in preparing thel
sweet potatoes for market, and
thew will not, that the inspector
must not permit inferior stock to b
handled as first-class. Of course tn
reputation for excellence which on
potatoes has won in the past unde
the mark of "Red Star" must b
maintained. The Exchange as a
organization in the interest of t
farmers would soon be failure
its guaranty was worth nothing al
every farmer who realizes the pro
perity, it has brought to him in IL
past, cannot be so blind to h
interests as not to want to live up
his obligations in this respect. 1t
gratifying to believe, though, tn
while shipments of produce of inferi
quality have been made from eve
station with one or two exception
under the Red Star brand, that Il
farmers generally condemn their a
ton in the matter. The inspecto
must see, that those who are not WI
ing for their produce to be sold on
merits, be made to do SO or for1e
their membership in the Exchange

didate for Governor, and Charles
Hughes, prominent in the late lnsur-
ance investigation in that State, is
nominee of the Republican State Con-

Mr.. Hearst is not satisfactory to many
Democrats as the standard bearer OF
New York democracy and there is
possibility of third ticket being
placed in the field. Hughes is, o.
course, acceptable to his party. Re
publicans generally can be counted
upon to be in line for their nominee
