No More Fighting at Magic
City and Nit Men Are
Warned.

Minot, N. D., Aug. 15.-Lovers Of the
fistic are in Minot are doomed to see
no more pugilistic battles in the
Magic City. City authorities have re-
fused absolutely to sanction battle
between Curley Ullrich Of West Su-
perior and Walter Whitehead Of Du-
luth who have been endeavoring to
get a match here in the near future.
Sportsmen Of the city brought the
matter to the attention of the city
officials this week in an endeavor to
arrange for the battle but were turn
ed down hard and all action in regard
to arranging the bout has been stop
ped.
Ward county officials are also OPP
posed to prize fighting and will not
permit anything of that nature in the
county, hence the promoters OF the
bout are up stump and will have
to seek other pastures.
Curley Ullirch who has been in the
city during the past week will leave
Saturday for Tacoma, Washington,
and will be matched at several points
enroute. He will also drift down to
American Lake during the army ma
neuvers.

BRANDON WAS AWARDED PENNANT !.
NORTHERN LEAGUE IS NO MORE

Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 15.-Thirty
was called on the Northern league to-
day and Brandon was awarded the
pennant. There was not much jolli-
fcation when o'Dea's bunch took the
rag, 1t was more like funeral, for
1t sounded the burial of the Northern
league which may never more arise.
Although Winnipeg won the first of
a series which was started yester-
day to decide who would get the Nor
thern league rag, still it was con-
coded that Brandon was too far
ahead to continue the games and sup
port the players with no one seated
in the grand stand, so at a meeting
this morning, Brandon was awarded
the pennant. Fargo and Duluth
dropped out Of the league a couple of
days ago and this set the whole works

Tho Elephant .t R.v.

Twenty years of experience tells me
that whole regiment Of lions cannot
produce the same moral effect as one
twelve foot African tusker when he
cocks his big, sail-like ears, draws him
self up to his full height and looks at
you, letting off at the same time a
blood curdling scream, while in all
probability others invisible to you are
stampeding on all sides with the din
and vibration Of an earthquake. Sur
rounded in dense jungle by herd Of
elephants, they seem to block out the
whole horizon. One I measured was
actually sixteen feet from edge of ear
to edge of ear. No wonder my insig-
nif1cant self seemed to shrivel and my
huge express rifle to dwindle into a
mere pea shooter. Try as I will on
such occasions, can never overcome
my sense Of terror and always feel
inclined to throw down my elephant
gun and run for safety till drop

were determined to win and kept
working hard. They finally started
rapping the ball and Anderson who
pitched for the highs had poor sup

Panics Caused by Republication

Yes, a Democratic President is

sued bonds in time of peace Then
where is the difference? Here! The
Democratic President issued them
Immediately after going into Office,

on by Harrison's administration.
The Republican President issued
his bonds at a time when his party
and himself had been in control for
a dozen years. Now isn't this as
plain as Fido's sect? The rich Re-
publican aud trusts are trying to
stay off the present panic until they
can get a Democratic President in
power, and that will be longer than
the 4th of next March. Now the
secret of the whole matter is a short
story and is told in this way. The

We're going to the country for

We're weary Of the city, with its
fruitless, noisy quest;
We long for leafy stiffness, where
the gentle breezes play
And we'll take along phonograph
to while the hours away.
We have some brass band numbers
that are strictly up to date,
They're loud enough to start a
street procession while you wait;
We have some fine orations, with
the cheering of the throng.
And the great applause and laughter
that attend a comic song.
There are operate solos, with the
edges rather raw,
AS if while reaching for high c
| they'd struck 1t with saw;
And the prize of all the package
it's particularly fine
Is a dogfight imitation that sends
shivers down your spine.
| And when we've turned the crank

If we find them to familiar we can
Send to town for more.
Yes, we're weary Of the city, with
its fruitness, noisy quest,
And we're going to the country for
