coRBETT WOULD FIGHT.
Former Heavyweight Willing to Fight
Jack johnson for Title.

Leadville, Colo, Jan. 5.-James j..
Corbett, former heavyweight cham
pion of the world, announced his will
ingness to meet Jack Johnson if it
were necessary to bring the champion
ship back to the white man.
Such a decision shows how keenly
the former title holder feels the de-
feat of Burns, not because he is all ad-
mirer of Burns, whom he has criti-
ciZed freely in his letters on pugilism
for consenting to fight colored man,
but because never before has a negro
held the scepter borne by himself,
John l.. Sullivan, Bob Fitzsimmons
and James J. Jeffries.
Corbett is forty-two years old and
has not engaged in active ring work
for five years. His present theatrical
contract forbids him to engage in
sparring exhibitions, so the bout if
staged, probably would not take place
before next summer
Gentleman jim" asserts Johnson is
just the type of fighter whom he con.
sidered his prey when in his prime-a
man who prefers to stand off and win
by his cleverness-and Corbett rightly
thinks there never was as clever a box
in the heavyweight ranks as himself.
Apparently he thinks his skill still is
so much superior to that of the new
champion that it would onset his dis
advantage in weight and age.

WANT TRANSFER SWITCH.
AinsWorth Citizens Petition State
Railway Commission.

The railway commission at Lincoln
has received an informal complaint
from one hundred and twenty-one
citizens of AinsWorth asking for a
transfer switch to connect the North
western railroad and the Burlington S
O'NeillSiouX City line. w. b. Argau-
bright heads the petition. The signers
of the document ask for a transfer
switch at O'Neill on the ground that
if this were built they could get cars
from the Burlington road and load
them with hay or grain and get bet
ter price for their product. Ainsworth
is twenty miles east of O'Neill. The
petitioners allege that they are dis
eliminated against in not having such
switch. The commission has called
the attention of the railroads to the
petition and have notified the petition
ers that if the roads do not take such
action it will be necessary for them to
file a formal complaint. Many years
ago the legislature passed a bill re-
curing the building of transfer
switches, an act that was introduced
for the purpose of covering the stu
alton at O'Neill. The matter went be-
fore the old board of transportation
and into the courts but without giving
the desired connecting switch.

A REAL LOVE STORY.
This and Southern Plantation Life
Feature the Play.

There is the gay spirit of Halloween
in Under Southern Skies which
comes to the Auditorium next Mon
day night with an excellent company
and beautiful scenic production of
the pretty idyll, now as famous as
way Down East" "Under Southern
Skies" is by Lotte Blair Parker Of
Way Down East" fame 1t is as essen
tally a geographical play as "Way
Down East" and succeeds in staging
local color and southern life in a
really charming and unhackneyed
style.
Under Southern Skies" is love
story, downright and wholesome; with
youth and gaiety, humor and pathOs,
and succession of delightful pictures
of southern life, all set to the telling of
how Leila Crofton was wooed by two
youths, one who wished for her happi-
ness, and another who wished for his
own selfish ends and forced her to an
unhappy bridal. The story is laid in
southern Louisiana during 1875, and
the scenery is true to the last detail
of picturesque plantation life. The
stately wide verandabed colonial
mansion of Major CrOfton, in the first
and fourth acts, the accurate presenta-
ton of an old Halloween party and
the wedding in the next act, reveals
the completing possibilities of hospi-
tality and good cheer found in these
mansions of the old regime. The Hal
lOwe'en party before mentioned, with
its magic and mystery of witches, can
dies and mirrors, made to frame true
lovers kisses, its Jack-o-lantern quad
rifle in the freight, and the introduc-
ton of the jubilee singers, are great
features of the production, the old
southern melodies and jubilee songs
lending the real plantation Tilt to the
occasion. Prices 81 to 25c.

WOMEN IN PLAY 0UTNUMBER MEN
Unique Feature Of Under Southern
Skies" Coming Monday

Skies" Coming Monday
one of the unusual features of Lot
tie Blair Parker's play of Southern
life is that the women of the cast out
number the men. AS rule the re-
verse Is the case in dramatic offer
ings. The presence of so many wO-
men upon the scene is one of the at
fractions of the play, especially as
many of them are young and pretty.
The birthday party of the youthful
heroine, and the Halloween festivi-
ties, which include the carrying out
of some amusing Halloween tricks
and a Jack-olantern dance, give fine
scope for showing the feminine mem
bers of the company to advantage. One
of the funniest characters in the play
is Amer Lizer," who deserves a rank
side by side with the immortal
"Topsy." Aunt Doshy too, is host
of fun in herself a typical southern
"auntie"-one of the faithful slaves
who chung to the family she loved,
though free to leave them if she
wished to do so. The south furnished
many instances of this devotion upon
the part of the older negroes. The
part of the heroine, Lelic Crofton, a
young southern belle, is a difficult one
to enact, portraying as it does all the
emotions from gay and loving light
heartedness, to most intense misery
and grief Under Southern Skies
was written by a woman and it gives
women greater opportunity for acting
than three or four ordinary dramas.
This very successful play will be seen
at the Auditorium next Monday night.
