Mau Result From New Clubs
Scarcity of Good Talent for Events Proves
Principal Difficulty Confronting Pro-

By William ]. SIatfery

The new year bids fair to bring about many
changes in the fighting game, not only among
the fighters themselves, but also among the pro-
moters, the men in whose hands the future of the
sport depends to marked degree From pres
ent indications two new clubs, the Mission and
the North Beach athletic organizations will be
received into the fold, predicted in these
columns many weeks ago. They probably will
take the places OF the Occidental and Washing

AS SUSPECT IN
APP. 0. ROBBERY

John T. Ward, who had SCI in stamps
on his person when he was arrested
last Friday in the railroad yards at

three men who dynamited the safe of
the postoffice in the village of Nuchusa,

here since his arrest, was taken to
Peoria last night by Deputy United

day preceding the postofflce robbery,

the crime. However, he declines to
give an explanation of how he came
into possession of the stamps. He
was promised leniency if he divulged

The waterworks committee has or
dered the purchase of two appliances
which will be used at the waterworks
and which are guaranteed to save ten
per cent of the fuel used there now.
and which will eliminate 80 per cent
OF the smoke which now belcheS forth
from the smoke stacks on the build

and the city clerk met last evening
at the city hall c. H. Hall, repre-
senting the G. H. Scharf automatic

of Ypsilanti, Mich, met with the CON-
mittee and explained the merits of the
appliance. 1t Is an attachment which
is fitted on to the boilers and which is
guaranteed to do what is claimed for it
or your money back" The commit
tee decided to invest $500 in two IF
the appliances and give them a trial.
If they work as well as the agent
claims they will it is very likely that
the city will take steps to have some
of the larger factories adopt them in
order to eliminate the smoke evil 0s

employed two girls to do a special
piece of work in his Office. When it
was completed he found that one girl,
being expert, had done a great deal
more than the other one. Being un-
certain what he ought to pay them he
decided to leave that question to them
The expert girl set her price and, to
his amazement, the other girl charged
considerably more.
How is that?" he asked. Miss
Swift charges me a great deal less
than you do for the same. amount. OF
