Alcohol Bill Passed.

After considerable debate the SEN
,te passed the bill relieving dena-
tured alcohol from the internal reve-
uue tax and then took up the ayr
cultural appropriation bill, which was
still under consideration when the
Senate adjourned. The disposition
Of the alcohol bill turned largely upon
The effect OF the legislation on the
manufacture of wood alcohol, which
Senator Aldrielf asserted would be
geratly injured. -.
There was also considerable dis-
cussion of the amendment authoriz-
inc the purchase Of samples OF all
serpms and aitt:toxins for the cure
Of animals, and it was denounced by
Mr.. Hale as another step iii the di-
rection Of poterualism which he de-
preeatod in strong language. sena-
tor McCumber supported provoslon
as iii the interest Of protection OF the
public against poisonous and other. b,

between the two great PARTIES during
the coming campaign are already be-
ing joined, if the speeches now beng
made in the house Of representatives
are sage index. Several weeks ago
Mr.. Rainey of Illinois made a careful
ly prepared speech OH the watch trust,
asserting that the watch manufac-
turers Of the United States had one
price for watches at home and les
ser price for Watches abroad. Thurs
day in the house Mr.. Charles B. Ian.
dis Of Indiana, i'll a sense, answered
MI. Rainey, frankly admitting that
American manufacturers had one
price at home and another abroad, and
he defended the practice as in accord
with good business methods, insist
ing that all countries sold their wares
for less prices abroad than at home.
Mr.. Lands also paid some attention
to a speech made by Mr.. Bourke Cock
ran (N. ", wherein the latter de-
nounced the policy of protection as
one of public plunder, the fountain
source Of all conception and the cause
of total demorilization Of the Amcrl-

Only Redeeming Feature.
From the local standpoint the only
redeeming feature in Yesterdays game
was a three base drive by Piper in the
seventh, when the bases were full.
Fink had been pitching unhittable ball
up to that time. but when he grew
wild, filling the sacks, and Piper clear
ed them with his dandy drive, he only
waited long enough to hit Zeider be-
fore he retired to the shelter of the
new players bench, and Finnigan was
called on to stop the slaughter. Be-
fore he settled down, two more runs
were in, but the rally came too late
to do any more than create a tenn
porary feeling of enthusiasm among
the fanatics.
Fargo scored ten unearned runs in
three consecutive innings. through The
miserable performance of the local
fielders, aided by few hits and some
passes.
There was a big crowd of rooters

the two fighters as regards their ply
steal condition. Herrera has been
training more or less faithfully ever
since the match was made, something
he seldom has been known to do be-
fore. Nelson has taken the usual good
care of himself and the reports from
his training camp today are to the
effect that he is as fit as fiddle. Both
fighters appear confident of winning
the decision and pulling down the
victOr's share of the $4,000 purse.
This will be the second encounter
of Nelson and Herrera in the squared
circle. Their, first meeting was two
years ago at Butte. Mont In that bat
tie the Mexican landed one of his
wa!lOps on Nelson's law. Nelson went
down for the count Of nine. but man
aged to stall" until he recovered.
Then he started in in earnest and the
result was that he was given the de-
cision ON points at the end of twenty
rounds of terrific fighting. Nelson has
learned great deal about the game
since that time and may be counted on
TO fight shy of the MeXicans ter
rifle punches. If he succeeds in doing
so he will undoubtedly win tonight's
battle. as he possesses the stamina to
tire Herrera out before the limit is
reached. According to all close fol-
lowers of the game the MeXicans one
chance for victory lies in his ability
to catch Nelson off his guard for a
moment and thereby get in his sleep
producing punch.
