GEORGE SILER WILL
QUIT THE PRIZE RING
sneciaI to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 23.-Tonight is
to be a gala night in fistic circles.
Top-notch fighters in every class of
the present day and champions Of a
decade ago are to don the mitts in the
Coliseum in friendly bouts in aid of
the benefit to George Siler, one Of the
greatest authorities in the world Of
pugilism and whose efforts have done
much to raise boxing to its present
high standard among boxing.
Mr.. Siler is sixty-one years old to-
day and has announced his perma-
nent retirement from all connection
with the fighting game. He leaves be-
hind him a record that has few equals.
II was away back in the latter part
of the SOS that he first entered the
rank of professional pugilism, boxing
at 112 pounds. In 1872 he starred in
exhibition bouts in New York, touring
the country with Billey Madden later.
In 1874 he won the lightweight cham
pionship after meeting all Corners. He
quit the ring as a boxer in 1881 and
turned his attention to refereeing.
He has probably OBLIGATED in more
important ring battles than any other
living man. His principal appear
ances were as referee in the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons bout and the battles be-
tween Jeffries and Fitzsimmons, jeff
ries and Sharkey, Fitzsimmons and
Maher and Battling Nelson and Joe
Cans.

New Orleans, La, Sept 23.-Pur-
suant to the recent call of President
L. A. Ransom of the International
Cotton Seed Crushers' Association,
the members of the association and a
number of representatives of transpor

special meeting in this city today to
devise means to remedy certain ad-
verse conditions on the shipping and
delivery of cotton seed meal at for
eign ports.
Recent consular reports on the sub
iect of the handling of cotton seed
meal abroad and the special reports
of the government agents indicate
that the poor methods of handling
and delivery form one of the chief
causes for the frequent claims for
reclamation and rebates from for
eign buyers upon southern mills. The
association proposes to do all in its
power to check this condition for the
general benefit of the trade

The Sleep Of Death.

Lola May, the only child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wesley Rucker, died at the fam
lily residence in Old Town Sunday
morning, Sept. %, 1907. The little
one was loaned to them a short ten
months, but what gladness and sun
shine did she make in the home and
hearts of those who loved her so. She
was as a fragile flower, placed here
where the suns rays were too wither-
ing. The path of life was too rugged
for tiny feet, the worlds hardships
were too much fer -the-eaatle. te=Asf
little feet, and God in love sent the
angel of death to bear her sweet spirit
hence.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the home this (Monday) morn
ing. Sept. 90, 1907, at 10 o'clock, Rev.
]. Kilgore of the Methodist church
having charge. Miss jamie Patrick,
Mrs. E. R. Erwin, Rev. A. D. Spark
man and Rev. ]. Kilgore sang as a
qaurtette, Nearer, My God to Thee"
Rev. Kilgore read from II Samuel,
18th chapter. 18th to oath verses. the
beautiful incident of the sickness and
death of David's boy, of David's words
that have comforted thro' all the ages
those sorrowing for their loved ones
who are gone. Rev. Sparkman then
spoke of the suffering of the man Of
God who feasted and wept and prayed
all night in anguish that God would
restore his boy; he realized Gods
love in taking him, and said, Il can
not call him back, but l can go to
him" There is never a day so dark
but that Jesus will tighten. If we
could look thro' the future years of
perhaps sorrow and pain, we would
thank God for calling in infancy and
purity this little one. Those who
sleep in Jesus. He shall bring with
Him when He comes. The tiny white
casket was borne in the arms of the
to the carriage awaiting,
and the sorrowing ones followed and
laid to rest the little one who had so
filled with love and gladness their
lives.
Such a little break in the sod,
So tiny to be a grave.

LETTER TO BOB FITZGERALD,
Palestine. Texas.

Dear Sir: Two cans of paint look
alike; two paints look alike, when
opened; two jobs look alike, so long
as they're new-unless one is scant
They are far from alike; one is
paint and the other is trash
The gallon price is not far from
alike. They don't cost alike. One
takes 10 gallons to paint house; the
other takes 20. The cost of one job is
$50; the other s1OO-it may be 500
the job that cost least is the good
one; wears twice as long as the
other
There are two ways of telling good
paint: by the name; by the number
of gallons it takes for a iob-least
gallons, best paint BY the name De-
voc; by least gallons.
Yours truly

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 25.-A special
session of the federal court convened
here today to try United States Sen
ator William E. Borah, who is charg-
ed with conspiring to defraud the fed
eral government by securing Illegal
entry of timber lands. The indict-
ment was returned last April and in
cluded beside Senator Borah, Frank

Wells, L. NJ. Pritchard, John Kincaid,
William Sweet, Albert NJ Palmer and
H. S. Rand. Senator Borah asked for
and has been accorded the privilege
of a separate trial.
The investigation of the grand jury
last spring into the timber land
frauds produced a profound sensation.
One hundred and fifty witnesses were
called and the evidence showed that
an organized raid had been made by
the Barber Lumber Company on the
timber land of Lewiston district 1t
TD1se hon
fifty thousand acres of land were pat
ented by dummies and turned over to
the lumber company.
The plan was very simple, and one
that has been often used TO rob the
government The law permits per
son to file a claim for land, but the
person must take oath that he is buy
ing the land with his ewn money and
that the transaction is bona fide. He
is limited to 160 acres, and upon the
payment of $3.50 an acre a certificate
for the quarter section is turned over
to him. The lumber company is
charged with having furnished hun
dreds OF men with money to buy land
with. 1t was necessary to have the
protection of government officials, so
political leaders of both the demo-
cratic and republican parties were put
on the pay roll of the lumber COM
pany.
1t is charged that Senator Borah CO.
operated with Governor Steunenberg
in pushing the patents through for
the dummies and that as result the
lumber company obtained possession
of timber worth more than S1,000,000
The indictments returned charge that
the men accused induced the dummies
to file claims on lands.
Government officials knew of the
land frauds two years ago, and spec
ial agents conducted an investigation.
Much evidence was gathered and
preparations were made to bring the
guilty parties to justice, but the ar
rest of the officials Of the Western
: Federation of Miners for the murder
of Governor Steunenberg and the con-
nection of Senator Borah with the
prosecution of the alleged murder
cases caused a postponement for a
year.
