he thought the fair was all
right and he would give some
thing toward it," but, said
he, ''you know there are two
factions in this town and l
want to know who started the
fair first The fair will be
for the good Of all in
Billings county, regardless
of what faction started it and
is worthy Of the support of
every person in its borders.
It will be one of the leading
attractions not only for the
county, but for the Slope and
will do more to advertise the
county than can be done in any
other way. At the next cleo
tion, Mr.. Martin will un-
doubtedly want all the votes
in Beach. regardless of fac.
tion. Will he get them?-
Beach Advance.
The election Of q senator in this
district will not come up for three
years, in 1912, and then, no one
knows who the candidates will be,
and moreover, no one cares at the
present time. When the time fol-
electing senator arrives there
will be factions and strife enough
without trying to stir up trouble
at this stage of the game. Martin
will probably not be a candidate.
Three years is a long time to look
ahead for trouble. But Cook is
afraid the pot will cease to boil.
However it is a pity that the
fair could not be conducted on
other than factional lines. But il
those in charge want "private
affair" instead of an Interstate
Fair, that's their business.

A man can 90 to q swell function
without a collar on. but woman
can't answer door bell without
one. A man can swear like a
trooper and be gentleman, but if
a woman uses a slang word, people
think she's awful. A man can
smoke and chew tobacco and spit
any old place, and he's all right,
but let a woman chew gum and
"1isten" what the old man says to
her.

WASHINGTON.

A pleasing program is announced
for the Washington tomorrow
afternoon, having for it's headliner
Mile. Alice Loretta and her prize
posing dog, Ben" Mile. Loretta
with her dog will present series
of difficult poses and unusual pio
lures, taken from famous paint
ings and hunting scenes. The dog
is a beautiful snow white setter,
and with his mistress in the differ.
ent poses resembles marble very
closely. This Is very pretty and
unusual act Another promising
number on the bill will be Miss
Monda Glendower and Raymond
Manion in their sketch entitled,
"A Christmas on the Comstock,"
which is one of the most pleasing
and we'll acted figures Of the sea-
son. The playlet tells Of the life in
the mining camp, and Is full OF
comedy and pathos. A comedy act
that is extra good will be that pre-
scented by Jere Sanford, the whist
ling and yodeling comedian. Mr..
Sanford has an excellent voice.
"Too Much Woman" the comedy
sketch introduced by Frank Rae
and Ghssie Brosche, is one of the
funniest acts on the program. 1t
deals with the trials of man try
ing to outtalk a woman, and the
funny part of it is that he finally
succeeds. Jack McDevitt and Earl
Kelly, eccentric dancers, furnish
another good number on the bill.
Some new and decidedly up to date
pictures will close the show.

AInerGcan Fighters DreSHy.
American fighters from Tom Hyer down
were always more dressy than English or
Australian serappers John C. Heenan was
one of the neatest and most fa~shionably
attired men l ever met and that was forty
years ago. When Heenan went to Great
Britain in 1860 to fight Tom Sayres for the
international championship he made a hit
with the English nobility by hts swell APP
~pearanoe. They invited the Yankee gladia-
tor to their clubs and estates and gave him
more recognition in a social way than any
foreign pugilist ever received before or
since. Heenan was a gentlemanly fellow
and always tried to conduct himself in a
modest way. Heenan did more to raise
the standard Of the American prize ring
than any other man who has stepped
through the ropes.
Peter jackson set a good example
among the colored fighters. for although
Peter was as black as the ace OF spades
he tried to dress and behave like a gen.
tleman. jackson. was no piker when 1t
came to a matter OF fine clothes and a
good living. He would buy wine with any
Of them, yet he was never boisterous or
too fresh, like some OF the coon fighters OF
the present day. He seldom talked upon
fistic topics and never mixed in tough So
cIety. As q fighter he was far superior
to Jack Johnson in both science and hit
ting. But he loved the grape juice and
fell by the wayside.
"A classy fighter must have a clear
brain. No dull witted, bull-headed fellow
can ever hold sway among the topnotch-
ers. The modern fistic champion must be
a bright. intelligent walloper. He must
be a good ring general who can plan his
battle and be able to carry it out by skill
and science to a successful finish. Take
the American ring stars Of today and
you'll find they are all bright, clean cut,
smart fellows, with other qualities that
were uuheard of in olden times"

the case Of the Omaha Electric Light and
Power company against the city Of Omaha
and Waldemar Mlchaelsen. city electrician.
The opinion states that the restraining order
heretofore granted viii remain In force
and the decree will not be formally entered
until July 81.
This order restrained the city from cut
ting the wires. II IL assum I'd that after
July 81, It may resume cutting them un-
lesn some other action is taken.
The restraining order was issued by
Judge T. c. Munger, June %, 1908, and d.
rcctR that the city OF Omaha and the city
electrician sease from sutting or remov-
ing the wires of the Electric company, or
to otherwise do anything that shall impede
It's business.
Concluding with reference to the ordl-
nance of 1884. from which the original COM
pany derived It's rights, Judge Munger
said:
when the ordinance was enacted It did
not In my opinion intend to transmit the
electric current for all purposes. and
whether for other than light purposes the
ordinance does not state.
The payment of a percentage upon the
lQQmpany's gross income constitutes a valid
Ratification of assumed authority of the
complainant. The payments were merely
voluntary, with the full knowledge of al
the facts and its legal rights and upor
no representation or conduct by the city
which stops It from denying that tn,
Complainant's rights are greater than thos,
