printed in several colors. A die is
made which will emboss and cut out
the design at one operation.
Big steel cylinders heated and adj
justed to exert an enormous pressure
are used to change cheap, rough paper
into the smooth, satin-finished paper
used in the making of valentines.
Lithographic presses print the
hearts, nosegays, Cupids, etc., on big
sheets of cardboard. Nine printings
are necessary before the original de-
sign submitted by the artist is built
up and completed.
The next operation is the enclosing
of the designs.
Other machines turn out the delicate
lace paper that is used so mucn on
valentines. Then, again, there are
machines for the crimping of paper.
After all this work is gone through
the materials thus manufactured are
carried into the finishing room where
there are scores of girls, who, with
the swiftest fingers possible, snip oil
some lace paper here and paste it on
there, add bit of bright colored rib
bon or a puff of lace, and so on until
valentine in all it's glory is finished
and pinned on the wall ready for the
showcase,

Hoodoos Haunt My Resting Place
DUDLEY FAIRFAX
DUDLEY

Frank J. Dudley thinks the spectrei
hand of the much abused figure "23"
rests upon his residence at PIG N.
It'll street.
He is thinking of consulting the city
engineer for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether at some ancient day lii
the history of this city ZIG N. 9TH was
not 13 n. 7th.
Mr.. Dudley's first misgivings were
aroused from latent noctambulism
soon after he bought and occupied the
house. The edifice is a we'll built
wooden structure standing prominent
ly on a corner but still the ever soncy
apparition hangs about
Some time ago the house was dis
covered to be on fire and an alarm
was turned in to the fire department.
A freight blocaded the street and the
firemen arrived late. A big repair
account necessarily resulted.
Members of Mr.. Dudley's family
have frequently been visited by the

decided upon for the transportation
of all "Three 1" teams between the
two cities. This will mean a great saw
ing in transportation expenses. Pres
ident Holland will now try to secure
an equally low rate from the Illinois
Traction company, which owns the
lines now connecting Peoria, Bloom
ington, Decatur and Springfield.
The Bloomington and Decatur line
was not completed until the season
was almost over last year, while the
line between Bloomington and Peoria
is only partly completed. 1t will be
ready, however, before May 1.
The line between Bloomington and
Springfield is completed for half the
distance, and also will be finished this
year. The trolley circuit is so COM
plete that fully one-half the mileage
this season can be covered without
patronizing the steam roads, thus cut
ting expenses.
1t is estimated that the travelling
expenses of the Three l" League, due
to the change in circuit and the inter-
urban facilities, will be one-third less
than ever before This amounts to
considerable item and will enable the
various teams to pay more money for
salaries than in the past.

THE LIGHTWEIGHT
, CHAMPIONSHIP
TITLE
It Has Been a Much Disputed
One in the Last Few
Years.

The lightweight pugilistic champion
ship for which Joe Cans and Britt are
to battle at Tonopah has been an open
and much disputed title since the
adoption of the Marquis of Queens
berry rules. Jack McAuliffe and Cans
are about the only claimants to the
title whose superiority has not had
doubts cast upon it.
McAuliffe showed his first champion
ship form when he knocked out Par
son Billy Frazier in twenty-one rounds
at Boston, October 20, 1856. in a con-
test advertised as for the lightweight
championship. The stake was 5000
side, for this was before the days OF
big purses. McAuliffe won the cham
pionship of Canada, also, and clinched
his claim when he knocked out Harry
Gilmore at Lawrence, Mass, in twen-
ty-eight rounds on January IA, 1887.
Then came the famous international
lightweight contest between McAuliffe
and Jim Carney at Revere. Mass. No
vember 16, 1887. The fight went sew
enty-four rounds and was declared
draw. The memorable sixty-four
round draw with Billy Myer at North
Judson, Ill.,, February IS, 1889, was
McAuliffe's next important champion
ship contest
In 1890 McAuliffe went to San
Francisco and on March 81 of that
year he fought Jimmy Carol there,
winning in forty-seven rounds. After
defeating Austin Gibbons in six
rounds, September IL, 1891, at Hobok-
en-, N. j., McAuliffe did not defend his
title again until September 5, 1892,
when he knocked out Billy Myer at
New Orleans in fifteen rounds
McAuliffe never was beaten for the
title. At big benefit given him in
New York in 1896 he spared six
rounds with Kid Lavigne and formally
turned over the title to the Michigan
boy.
Lavigne won the championship OF
England June of that year by knock
ing out Jim Burge In London In sew
enteen rounds. Lavigne then was ad-
mitted to be the champion lightweight
of the world, and he held the title I'M
til July 8. 1899, when he lost a de-
cision to Frank Erne in twenty rounds
at Buffalo.
Erne held the championship three
years, losing it when Joe Cans knock
ed him out in one round at Fort Erie,
May 10, 1902, acquiring the title that
has not been wrested from him.

sick pall-cpntagious diseases have
also visited the Inflated residence.
Last week smoke was seen escap-
ing from the kitchen. An alarm was
turned in and when the department
arrived and turned the wrench at the
hydrant the water was found to he
as scarce as money when baseball
subscription is going around. The
hydrant was frozen up and more de-
lay was entailed.
Again Mr.. Dudley performed the
prodigal act for repairs. This last
time however, he had insurance. The
insurance amounted to 500 so he is
but $3.50 out this time the blaze only
causing damage to the amount OF
$3.50.
Truly if ''Dud' is to be believed, the
remark of Fairfax when he said Foul
spirits haunt my resting place" are
appropriate to the house standing OH
the so foot lot at PIG N. Seventh
street.

THE APPROPRIATIONS ASKEDCALL
FORHEAVY OUTLAYOF STATEFUNDS

Bismarck, Feb. 13.-Practically all
of the appropriations bill making pro-
vision for the current and contingent
expenses of the state institutions ana
for permanent improvements and the
various bills providing for sundry ap-
preparations for the maintenance OF
the state government, are in the
hands of the appropriation commit
tees in the senate or the house. The
institution appropriations are in the
hands of the senate committee and it
is likely that the report of the COM
mittee upon all of the bills presented
will be made within few days and
that all of the bills will be reported
at once The total of the approprla-
tons asked is considerably in excess
of the available revenues and some
cutting will be done. In addition to
the appropriations asked it is probable
that provision will be made for the
taking up of some institution bonds
and interest, that it was contemplated
at one time should be paid from the
interest and income funds of the in
stituticn lands, and that, it is held,
must be provided for from a direct
appropriation. The following list
shows the total appropriations:

ULR|CH-P0TTS BOUT
It Has Been Declared Off as
Has Another Bout They
Backed Down.

Duluth, Mimi, Feb. 13-Two pros
pective mills in which local pugs were
to have been featured, have been
called off and the usual charge OF
cold feet and forfeited championships
are being made in due order.
Curley Ullrick of Superior has re-
turned from Minneapolis where he had
gone to get in shape for scrap with
Jimmy Potts next Friday, and he has
a particularly sore spot in his heart
on account of Potts insisting upon a
financial arrangement which practi-
cally called off the fight. Curley says
that the Minneapolis fighter did not
get his lower extremeties into the ice
box until he heard that Curley had
got Thunderbolt Smith, one of the Mill
City mans former trainers, to break
him into the mysteries of the clean
break game, but that as soon as he
heard It he FASTENED to take the lex
Orbitant demand" route to get out OF
the fight.
Bill Moseby, the colored fighter is
also bowling on account of a back
down, and the particular set of chill
blains that Bill is raising howl about
are said to be located on the feet of
Ben Trimble Moseby says that Trim
ble's aversion to colored fighters is
a very late development, and in fact
has grown like a Mellin's Food baby
since Moseby's challenge was made,
and that it is simply dodge to get
out of the scrap
Trimble is said to have received
tempting offer from nearby club
which he turned down fiat, and Nose
by's supporters say that as long rs
the pugilistic colored gentleman re-
sides in these parts, Trimble's claims
to the championship are very shady.

FAITH IN THE STATES
Local Government Responding to the
 Needs of the Times

We have great faith in the states to right most of the wrongs from which the people suffer, and to institute the needed reforms. Indeed, the greatest work that has so far been done has been done by the states. Surely in the face of such splendid showing we cannot consent to turn over the busi- ness of governing us to the Washington government, cannot agree that the only relief from present ills is to be found in centralization. We can do all that really needs to be done without destroy ing or even greatly changing our pres ent system of government. And those who are so strongly pushing for power and who are arguing from the supposed weakness of the state governments in favor of vast additions to the powers of the federal government have not read the signs of the times aright. Our state governments are great institu- tions. We have felt the breath of Q new life, and have responded nobly to the new and righteous influence that is now stirring in the hearts of the peo- ple.-Indianapolis News.

LARGE PRODUCERS
 HAVE THE BULGE
Walker Says That They Are in Stronger Position than They Have Ever Before Been-Real Price of Copper Metal Is Higher than New York Market.

The copper market continues dull and practically no transactions in the metal have taken place during the week. How ever, consumers are known to be sail
 ing close to the wind and it is expected that activity will take place in the metal market shortly. Several prices are quoted for both Lake and Electro lytic copper. The important Lake pro dueers quote Lake at 25la cents and the United Metals. Selling company main. tains the price of Electrolytie at 20 cents. Several producers quote Electro lytic at from 231a to 24 cents, but only small amounts of the metal can be ob tained at these prices. When the buy CTS appear in the market this copper will be quickly withdrawn.
 Producers do not seem to be at all worried over the reports of an immedi- ate concession in the price of the metal, and state that the present condition of the market does not warrant any redue- ton from the existing level of prices.
 It is believed that there is not enough copper in London now to cover the war rants that were sold during the recent depression there. The visible supply of copper is constantly decreasing and stocks in London amount to only about 1000 tons-praetieally the low record point. A buying demand for 5000 tons of copper would create stampede among the shorts abroad.
 One of the largest consumers of cop per in the world says that, so far as he can see, there is no reason to expect the producers to reduce their prices, for the present at least; and he also states that the producers today occupy the strong est position known in the history of the trade.
 A let-up in general business is bound to affect the copper market to some ex- tent, but decrease of at least 25 per cent in the present volume of consump- ton would have to take place before the market would be seriously affected. With the manufacturers of electrical equipment running their plants over time, however, there seems to be small promise of falling off in demand for the metal.
 Some consumers show hesitation in contracting for supplies covering more than thirty days ahead, owing to some uncertainty regarding the condition of general business over the end of the year. Consequently they do not want to carry large stocks of the metal.
 The views of Wall street and various commercial interests on the business outlook for the next twelve months diff fer widely. Wall street contends that a liquidation in business similar to that which has been experienced in the stock market must take place. On the other hand, an interest in the textile trade says that they have more business in sight for the next six to twelve months than they have ever known before A large manufacturer of brass goods says that ten years ago slump in the stock market had considerable effect on his trade, but that in late years the condi- tions in Wall street seemed to have very little effect on business. The west has grown wealthy and is in a position to finance large enterprises independent of Wall street.-Walker s letter.

STAND BY THE FLAG

The action of Butte Miners union in condemning the reasonable utteranees of one of it's delegates to the Western Federation convention and the recalling of the offending delegate by the union IS most commendable. Socialism may prevail among the miners of the west, but anarchism never, although there will always be some anarchistic agita- tors endeavoring to secure foothold m the organization. Butte union contains a number of men who have followed and fought under the flag and to these Old Glory means more than merely a na- tional emblem. The same is true of other unions of the Federation and on the membership roll of Globe union can be found the names of many young men who have suffered hardships to protect the honor of the country and the flag. Some of these may not believe in the present form of government; some may have become influenced by the glitter ing promises of socialism, but the stars and stripes will always be held in res. peet and honor.
 Butte union has established a preee- dent which should prove discouraging to the detractors of Amerieanism and the villifers of the flag, who, like the scum of waters, rise to the surface and are most in evidence. A small quantity of scum can mar the beauty of lake and hide all the purity that lies under heath. Hardly an organization, whether labor or fraternal, or even religious, but has its seum--its undesirable member: and the Western Federation has beer unfortunate in allowing its scum too much latitude. We hope that proper consideration will be given by the con vention to the resolutions of Butte union and that it will profit therefrom

Richard Croker is becoming sensitive regarding his antecedents. He writes to the Journal of Irish Society correct ing the erroneous impressions which he finds current regarding himself. He dc. mes that he was ever professional pugilist or owned gin palace, or that he was ever connected in any way with the liquor traffic.
