Hartman Decease Discounted.
It was demonstrated today that Mr..

apart. had been thoroughly discounted.

scrambling most frantically to cover. the
market seemed almost bare Of the stocks

vanced two or three times as far and as
fast as was the case. Commission houses
very clearly had not very large total or

Aggressive Buying Manifest.
The dealings evinced and the represent

The London prices furnished all the
clue that was needed before the local

the theory that Mr.. Harrimans death
had been discounted and that stocks
would be supported, caused a sharp rise

Leaving the city on December 3rd
and arriving In Jacksonville on De

Ex-Governor Broward Is very en-
thusiastic oyer the possibilities OF the

The voyage up the river was a pleas
ant one Either bank of the river
was lined with palm trees 80 feet high,
also orange and grapefruit groves,
About half way up we stopped and
had talk with some of the farmers.
One had just sold tive-acre tract for
five thousand dollars. and this was
considered very cheap. Another farm

of beans. sold $175 worth from IL, and
still hao that many more left Still
another man has a tract Of land 192X

PAPKE ANXIOUS TO
BOX KETCHEL At 1855
Kewaneeite Willing to Make
Side Bet and Fight for the
Light Heavyweight Title.

Billy Papke evidently IS not as anx-
ious to regain the middlewsight cham
pionship of the world as he is to whip
Stanley Ketchel once more and prove
to the world that he Is the master OF
the Wolverine slugger.
In answer to KetcheIs statement that
he would let the other fellows fight II
out for the middlewefght championship
while he defended the light heavy
weight title. Papke wired a challenge
for Stanley which shows that the Ke-
waneeite's main ambition in life is to
hear the referee count ten over Retchel
once more.
Papke in his wire offered to fight
Ketchel for the light heavyweight
championship at 1855 pounds ringside.
This weight, according TO the Illinois
Thunderbolt. is the same that Ketchel
fought him at on every occasion. as he
refused to make the middleweight limit
at ringside.
The down state fighter also promises
to break one of his rules and back him
self for the fight II KetcheI will accept
the terms offered. This, according to
those who know Billy well. speaks vol
umes for his confidence, as Papke in his
home town has the reputation of refus-
ing to bet that Christmas comes on Dec.
%. for fear some one would change the
calendar.
