Among the real estate deals made
recently was the sale of a tract Of
$50 acres in Nishnabotny township. 1t
lays in section 9, was the property of
Mr.. Carl Gronau. and was sold for
$3.50 an acre to James Tate, who has
been farming in the south part of I'm
ion township. It is a farm of big

Forest City.
The weather for the past week has
been quite chilly and on more than one
night the mercury has come danger
ously near the frost line. A killing
frost at this time would be q SAD al
fair as it would cut our corn crop
to fully one-half Of what it will be If
the weather man holds off his frost
for two, weeks longer. In dollars and
cents each day of sunshine amounts
to a great deal. Last year we had
no killing frosts until October 6, the
previous year our first killing frost
was October II. If no killing frost
visits this locality until like date
this year Winnebago county will turn
off a bumper crop Of Old King Corn.
Curing the last twelve years September
ID has been the earliest killing frost
and averaging the years up 1t makes
a killing frost due about September
%. BY this time frost may come and
do but little damage. because corr

Prize Fiqht Bill is Dead.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 23.-The
fight bill of Senator Gus
Hartman, which threw a scare into
the pugilists of the entire country,
is now a fit subject for an epitaph.
It has been given a knockout blow by
the members of the state legislature,
who referred it to the cemetery of
the committee on public morals of the
senate, where it will probably lie I'M
til the Judgment day. The wise solons
at Sacramento know that prize fight
ing and horse racing bring thousands
of tourists to the state who would 9th
erwise never be seen here, and they
are not the ones to kill geese hat lay

The fight fans of the country may
possess their souls in peace and sweet
content. The bill will probably ley

en- should it sufficiently to
get on the floor it will right speedily
be given a ose of knockout drops.

The committee amended the bill so
as to place the commission under

department of the Interior.
The senate began its session to-
day CFriday) by concentrating the
memory of George Washington, whose

A REVIVAL OF SPECIAL
CAR IMMIGRATION.

At the present there is not a single
immigration company coming to the
Pecos Valley with special cars. This
was lone on an extensive scale up
TO six or eight months ago and is
still being done in the Panhandle.
But a new company has now been
formed which will revive this method
of inducing immigrants to come 10
the valley. 1t was formed this week
at Lake Arthur and is to be known as
the Pecos Valley Land Company. 1t
is made up of the following officers:
J. K. Hearte, president; S. w. Hol-
der, vice-presideat; w C. Lawrence,
secretary and treasurer; E. G. Jack
son general manager, and NJ. w. Ev-
ans. All these me1 are well known
in the and business and immigration
work and will no doubt make a sue
cess of their new company.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 23-Some
where on the broad blue a of
the Pacific is a ship bearing that
famous Australian gladiator Bill
Squires, toward Son Francisco. Pro
moters of this bailiwick have been
duly notified that this touted success
sol to Pete jackson and Bob Fit
zsimmons possesses a terrible punch
n that he is ready and willing to
test conclusions with any heavy
weight scrapper hat America can
produce. Squires will probably reach
here in about sixteen days, and will
probably have little trouble in max
ing a match Upon his arrival.
Manager Skinner of the Rhyolite
scraps in prospect for the Australian
and has not entirely given up hope
of matching him with Jim Jeffries.
Both Tommy Burns and Jack O'Brien
have asked Skinner to arrange meet
ings with Squires. 1t is generally be
lieved that if Squires puts it over the
smaller heavyweight fry Jeffries will
come forth from his shell ald have
a go at the Australian. Sports all ov-
er the country are anxious to see JEFF
fries in action again and if Squires
shows that he has the goods a match
between them would without doubt
be the greatest drawing card eve
arranged in this country.
Despite the great amount of free
advertising he has received, Squires
is yet something of an unknown guam
tity. He may be a phenomenon, as
his hackers assert, and again it may
be that he will be an easy mark for
of the Burns O'Brien type.
There is no possible way of getting
anything like a correct line On him.
as he has met only English and Aus
tralian fighters, any one of whom
would probably be an easy mark for
Jack O'Brien. That he has a punch
is indicated by the act that but few
of his opponents have lasted more
a round or two, his longest bat
tie having bee a seven u battle
with Peter Felix, a negro pugilist.
Squires is being backed on the pres
ent trip by Jack Wren, a Melbourne
bookmaker who is reported to have
a big wad of good Australian money
to put up on his favorite.

The feature of the afternoon was a
picture guessing contest, by which
the guests showed their knowledge
of the acts and characteristics of the
great patriot. Many o fthe ladies'
equaled each other in attaining the
highest score and in the cut Mrs. Pet
ers won the prize, a burnt wood box
