Why yes. my child, for one rare time The papers do not lie; Fitz-M Mac has said so, and I guess He knows the reason why. And do the people out there, pa, Have wool and live on cactus?

OF BIG FIGHT

was able to stand seventy-flve rounds
before Kilrain and knock him out in
the end was a high tribute to his
trainer, that prince of cOnditioners,
Billy MuldOOn.
1t was in the forty-fifth round
that Sullivan committed an act so
foul that the excuse put forward for
him does not mitigate the Offense.
After knocking down .>ilrain he de-
liberately jumped upon the fallen
man.
Again Sullivan demonstrated Spar
tanlike courage. When the fight was
concluded it was discovered by the
crowd that he carried broken finger
on each hand. His seconds had
known this for thirty rounds, but his
opponent did not. Throughout the
long battle these broken fingers gave
eXcruciating agony to Sullivan, but
he smashed away at Kilrain regard
less.
1t must be said of Kilrain that he
showed gameness and a dislike for
the runaway tactics in which he in
dulged at Mitchell's orders. But he
" do III the uduuS Vi men WuO were
willing to resort to every trick to
down Sullivan and had promised to
obey them, in the belief that they
could plan better than he.
After the fight, despite the fact
that Kilrain landed time and again,
Sullivan, aside from a split ear,
black eye and a scratched neck, bore
no marks of punishment, save in the
broken fingers.
Kilrain, on the contrary, was a
pitiful spectacle. His lips were cut,
left ear smashed and his body, es-
pecially about the short ribs, was
raw from the murderous blows.
Kilrain was knocked out in the
seventy-fifth round, going down from
a succession of punches that would
have killed a man of slighter ply
sique, or one not trained to the sec
ond for the contest.

UNCLE SAM GOES THE LIMIT
EXPENSE LAST YEAR EXCEEDED
ANY OTHER BY $4,000. 900.
Larger By $4,000, 900 Than the
Year Before. Marked Falling
Of i'm REGENTS.

The forthcoming statement of +ba
treasury receipts and expenditures
by the government at Washington
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1908, will show a marked falling
off in the receipts as compared with
the year 1907, and a large increase
in the expenditures.
The disbursements for the wear
will be shown to have aggregated
$65O,OOO,OOO, or $80,OOO,OOO more
than for 1907, and $4,OOO,OOO more
than for any other year since 1868
not excepting the Spanish war
period.
The Panama Canal during the
closing year will have cost the gov
eminent $38,0OO,OO0, as against
$27,OOO,OOO for the year 1907 and
the work this year in connection
with the reclamation of the public
lands will be shown to have cost
about 3,000,000 which is not far
from last years figures.
The deficiency in the postal reve-
nues for the present year will prob
ably reach s13,5O0,000, as against
s7,5O0,0OO for 1907. This is the
largest postal deficiency in the his
tory of the government, except in
1905, when it reached nearly S15.-
100000. The records show that
there has been a postal deficiency
every year since the establishment OF
the service, with the exception of
-, when small SURPRISES were
shown. The expense of the rural
free mail delivery this year is not ex-
pected to fall below S25,0OO,OOO.
The decrease in the amount of the
receipts of $64,000,O00 and the in
crease in the expenditures of $780,
10000 make a difference against
the treasury for the fiscal year of
$144 100000.

Accident Occurred When the Train
Struck Bull. Eight Rode Rods.
A freight train headed towards
Columbus was wrecked forty-eight
miles west of Macon, near Butler, at
2 o'clock the other morning, and two
negro tramps were killed and a third
was severely injured. The engine
struck a large steer and passed over
him, carrying four loaded cars, but
when the fifth, an empty car, struck
the animal it was uerailed and the
rest of the train was thrown into
the ditch
The train had on board four
tramps. Two were found in the
wreckage dead. A third was found
with shattered leg, and the fourth
is believed to have been buried be-
meath car that was turned upside
down.
The conductor had put off eight
tramps at Reynolds and the four
caught in the accident had caught
the train again.
Only a slight delay in traffic was
caused
The mangled hOboes were laid to
one side, and the train was soon on
its way again.

GREATEST EVER HELD IN THIS
COUNTRY IN PRIZE RING
When Sullivan Knocked KilPain Out.
Sporting Men Make Annual Pill
grimage to Historic Spot.

Sporting Men Make Annual Pill
grimage to Historic Spot.
If the speck which represents
Richburg has no other excuse for
occupying a place on the map OF
Mississippi its existence is justified
by the sporting men who annually
make pilgrimages to the historic
spot where John l.. Sullivan proved
his supremacy over Jake Kilrain in
the most memorable battle ever
fought under London ring rules on
American soil.
1t was just nineteen years ago, on
July 8, 1889, that those two gladi-
ators of the ring met near Richburg,
Miss, and proceeded, with bare fists,
to attempt to knock the eternal day
lights out of each other.
In the end Sullivan was victorious,
but it was not until the seventy-fifth
round of one of the most ferOcious
battles ever witnessed anywhere that
Kilrain bit the dust, to the great
disgust of Charlie Mitchell, Richard
K. Fox and Pony Moore The
sports of the country never tire of
discussing this historic battle and it
is today the principal subject of dis
CussiOn in all places where fight fans
congregate. Many old timers tell of
their experience on that great day
nineteen years ago.
In those days it was a hard thing
to pull off a championship fistic af-
fair. There was no such thing as
licensing a fist fight There were
no permits. Fighters and followers
were forced to find some quiet place
yhere no OfficiOus sheriff might in
terfere. They took the chance of ar
rest every time there was a scrap
Sometimes they were arrested and
heavily fined afterwards.
And there wasn't much money in
lue uSuJIuS game, l lie gaze anu UNI
ed to little or nothing Voluntary
contributions made it up. The men
had their hackers, who were forced
to put up big side bets as an in
centive for the battle. The winner
was given a split by his hacker
The loser usually go+ nothing but a
beating. Sometimes when Sullivan
won a fight he handed his beaten
rival fifty or hundred dollars as
a plaster for his hurts.
When the Sullivan-Kilrain special
pulled out of New Orleans an at
tempt was made by the authorities
to stop it. In fact, the militia of
Louisiana and Mississippi were out
in force, ordered by the governors
of the states to stop the fight, no
matter where it came off But
somehow or other the train arrived
at the selected spot without inter
ference. The ring was pitched and
the fierce fight began with little de-
lay.
AS perfect a specimen of brute
manhood as was ever seen was John
l.. Sullivan when he stepped into the
improvised ring that day. That he

WANT HALF MILLION DOLLARS.
The Plight of House Committee on
Appropriations This Year.

Aht siSHt Ol HOuSe NOHlHOLJPe on
Appropriations This Year.
Chairman Murphy Gambler of the
house appropriation committee called
a meeting of that body for Thursday
afternoon, at which time the various
resolutions asking financial aid OF

alton. In view of the condition of

1t is stated by Chairman Gambler
that there are requests pending for
over a half million dollars. One of
these items is for twenty-seven thou
sand dollars, which represents the in
crease caused by the enlarged rail-
road commission for this and next
year. Something like one hundred
thousand dollars is asked for the
various educational institutions of
the state. Prominent among the
latter class is a resolution by Mr..
Boyd of Spalding, which asks for an
appropriation of ten thousand dol
lars with which to install cotton
seed oil refining plant at the Georgia
archaeological School This bill was
introduced last year and has the sup
port of the Cotton Seed Crushers'

EATS PIE WITH HIS KNIFE
DOES MAN WHO WILL BE NEXT
GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA.
Was Brought Up That Way and Has
Followed 1t Many Years Without
Quitting Himself. He Saws.

CuJlIAlS himself, he says.
A st. Paul, Mimi, dispatch says
that Jacob F. Jacobson, who has
been nominated by the republican
party for governor of Minnesota, or
Jake" as he is Familiarity termed
is a hirsute, uncouth implement deal
err.
The fact that Jacobson defeated
Attorney-General E. T. Young, who
has taken such an active part in the
various fights against the railroads
and who has been conspicuously in
the public eye for the past year or
so, indicates in a measure how strong
a hold Jake" has upon the repub-
lican voters of his state.
THE man who eats pie with his
knife" is the way jacobson was re-
ferred to by Frank M. Eddy, former
congressman, who presented Jacob
sons name before the convention.
Jake" admits that he eats his pie
with his knife. He was brought up
that way, and as he has followed this
method of procedure for a gOod many
years without cutting himself he
says he will continue to do so until
he discovers a better way to dispose
of his dessert. The pie eating al
fusion is only one indication of the
utter disregard Jacobson has for con
Ventionalities and etiquette.
Jacobson is dealer in farm i'm
plements in the little town of Madi-
son, Lac qui ParIe county. He was
born in Norway in 1849 and settled
in Minnesota in 1871. He stands
for the square deal in politics and
was fighting for Roosevelt measures
in the state legislature twelve years
ago before they became popular.
One of JacObson's most notable
fights in the legislature was on his
bill to increase the taxation of rail-
roads and other large corporations
and make them bear what he termed
a more equitable portion of the cost
of government and public mainte-
nance. He succeeded in having
passed bill increasing the gross
earnings tax of the railroads from
3 to per cent. Jacobson has also
served as a member of the state
board of control for several years.

All Lit Up With Electric lights,


All Lit Up With Electric Lights.
Foremost artifcers in steel and
staff were sent for. also specialists
IN electric lighting, and gradually on
the pier began to loom up a most
impressive house.
1t is to the left of the pier as one
walks out Leading up to the house
is shell bOrdered series of flower
beds, happy arrangement in view
or the fact that in a home set right
above the ocean all the decorations
should properly bespeak some word
OF the sea. In the night time the
structure stands out in a blaze OF
electric light.
On the sides of the pier are rustic
Italian benches so ideally adapted as
rendezvous that during the summer
season the captain will probably have
his own troubles in keeping visitors
away from them, the signing couples
who spoon by the Oceanside being
sublimely Indifferent to the rules OF
property
The view from the rear of the
house is hardly less beautiful than
from the front. There are orna-
mental hedges of green, fir trees and
flowers, and abundant stretches OF
lawn.
Especially notable from this side
do the lighting effects appear
These have been conceived with the
deft art of a man who has been
spending a couple of decades using
electric lights in the way best cal
culated to draw a crowd. These
lights run along the roof, they border
all the windows and go up the tower
When they are all turned on the old
figure of night, being made to look
like day, is thoroughly realized.
The ancient Italian walk and grape
arbor in the rear of the house is un.
dQubtedly one of its prime inspira-
tions.
The punches of grapes, which hang
from the roof of the arbOr are arti-
fetal, and when they are lit at night
with electric lights they produce &
riot of beautiful color that never
fails to deeply impress visitors.
Pictures Of Adam and Eve.
The lamps that border the walks
throw a soft and ebautiful light over
the stretches of the ocean to the left
and there is romance in the figures
strewn about the garden, one grouI
showing Adam and Eve being espe
cially effective
The creator of this dream palace
