JEFFRIES GOES TO EUROPE
johnson Not Heard from and Eastern
Sporting World Is Disguised.

Sporting World Is Disguised.
New York. Aug. 5.-That both
Jeffries and Johnson are the most
colossal "fourfiushers" who ever fig
ured in the heavyweight limelight is
the consensus of opinion in boxing
circles here. Sporting men are thor
oughly Disguised with the fashion in
which both men have repeatedly
made false statements, and now that
Jeffries announces he will sail for
Europe today, all hope seems gone
of a face-to-face encounter between
the pair to arrange for bout.
Jeffries starts for Carlsbad and
will be gone several weeks. He was
loud in his assertions, during his last
theatrical engagement. that he in
tended to meet Johnson in New York
without fail" Johnson only last
week said that he would proceed di-
rectly to New York from Toronto
and confront Jeffries before the lat
ter sailed.
So far as can be learned, he mas
made no effort to do so, and unless
he started for New York yesterday he
cannot face Jeffries before the latter
sails-which is probably just what
he desired.

Because of Her Hair.

There are many women in this
world. handsome in features, perfect

in this country. 1t was Partisan.

thin hair and dandruff are caused by
microbe.

Sabourand's theory to be correct, for
it is rigidly guaranteed by the Har-
per House pharmacy to kill the dan
druff germ and cure dandruff, fall

DECATUR WOMAN WRITES
 OF THE MONTEREY FLOOD
Her Is 8 proposal We hope you'll accept. T%ie fbi

was even with difficulty that a message could be sent.
 Policemen and soldiers have for days been busy along the river collecting and burying the dead in trenches. The body of a woman was found which had upon 1t several thousand dollars worth of dia- monds. She was unidentified, as were the greater portion of the bodies recov- cred.
 Trains are entering Monterey again now, though some of them, especially from the south must take very round- about tour and carloads of food and blankets and clothing are being sent from the states and other places. The relief funds have been coming through tele- grams all the while. and now the amount aggregates about 100000 pesos. However. this only assists in clothing and feeding the homeless but does not replace the great losses. The damage to one of the smelters has been estimated at a half million pesos. The steel plant lost heav- fly, and many stores with their whole stocks were lost The loss throughout the course of the river Is estimated at twelve million pesos. Since the trains are running again, and the relief funds are coming in so generously, Monterey is beginning to recover somewhat from the stunning shock of her terrible calam-
 
 ity. The federal government and Mexico City sent about half the amount receiy- ed up to date.
 "Only two Americans have been found among the dead, and they were not iden- tified United States Consul General Hanna has been untiring in his efforts to assist the homeless and all sufferers from the food The churches, hospitals and colleges in the city have thrown open their doors as shelter for the homeless.
 Monterey has quite a large American population, estimated at about 10000, and as two only are known to have been vic tims of the food we feel that we have been very fortunate and are thankful, but we regret our inability to have saved at least some of the many lives that were lost right among us.
 "I chall never forget the terrible feel ing of sadness that came over me, as we sat in a coach on the river bank and watched the receding stream which had caused such frightful destruction. Such feelings of utter helpfulness come over one."

The Best Hated Men.

From the Omaha World-Herald-
 The six best hated men in the United States, if it were possible to pick them out from so many likely candidates, would undoubtedly be the six baseball umpires who have officiated in the six closest games before the largest at- tendance.
 They mobbed one down in Augusta, Ga, the other day, and after he was rescued from the indignant populace by the police the Mayor of Augusta came to his defense in 8 public ad- , dress that was real classic. The fair city of Augusta had been foully wrong ed by this man, said bis honor the Mayor, but for the good name of the city he pleaded with his people to "1et the skunk alone" And the people,

Tenants for Farmers.

The Commissioner of Labor at Mad
isOn is having such good success in
supplying farmers throughout the state
with help that he has decided to seek
renters for all farmers desiring to rent
their farms. Any one owning a farm
who desires tenant or any one desir
ing to rent farm should write to the
Commissioner of Labor at Madison
who also has on file many applications
from persons desiring work on farms.
Those farmers who have not yet been
supplied should write him soon. The
Bureau of Labor is an institution
maintained by the state and it's SER
vices can be secured without cost eth
err to the IabOring man or the farmer.
The Commissioner has hundreds of
applications from young men and
married, men all experienced in farm
work, who desire work on farms.
Farmers should avail themselves of
this opportunity to get help before the
spring work begins because these APP
plicants will seek work elsewhere and
will not be available later in the year

THEN Nd NO w.

The amount expended by the Repub-
Iicau candidates in their efforts to
secure the nomination for United
States senator from Wisconsin shows
the Republican party is departing
farther and farther from its original
purposes and practices.
According to the revised statements
of senatorial primary cost, Stephenson
spent $IO8, 3l8,O5; Cook spent $42, 293. 10
and Hatton $3O,OO8.O7. The total
amount expended by the three Repub-
lican candidates. therefore, was SI9l,
G83.27. The expenditure Of so vast a
sum in a contest for a United States
senatorship is not an evidence either
Of good politics or good morals. The
fact to be deplored is that money, and
not principles, governed in the con-
test. How different was it, when with
out the expenditure Of dollar in his
behalf Abraham Lincoln was given
the nomination for President! The
mention of the name Of Abe Lincoln
in the Republican wigwam in Chicago
gave him the nomination for the
presidency because he represented the
highest aims and purposes OF his
party. In the late senatorial contest
in Wisconsin, in addition to the men
ton of the name of Ike Stephenson
it was deemed necessary to expend
over $lO8, 900 in an effort to convince
the members of the legislature that
that his return to the United States
senate IS desired by the people.

REFORM AS IT is.

George D. Cline, editor of the Hud-
son True Republican, is not very opti-
mistic in regard to the reform move
ment in Wisconsin. The way the old
order changeth for the new is evidently
not to his liking. He says:
THE Ioudest cry was for law that
would give the poor man chance
in the nominations. Gods patient
poor were going to be represented,
and Ike Stephenson is the first one of
the bunch to come to the surface, and
he swears it cost him oyer $107 900.
The reform has added bleeding pro-
Cesses whereby a person is tilched from
at every turn. 1t costs more to pro-
bate an estate and it costs more to die
tnan it did before the reform. This is
paid by the public or by some individ-
ual in distress, and it goes to support
some political heeler at Madison.
This bleeding is the only thing that is
turning out as the refOrmers hoped it
would. The others turned out exactly
opposite in practice from what the
theorists thought they would. There
are always lot of people who could
run the country better than any one
else but somehow they lack the means;
there are plenty who could perform
the miracle of the lOaves and fishes,
but those very people have neither a
Crumb of bread nor a minnOw to begin
with -
