In an effort to demonstrate to the
people Of Ottumwa how the boys of
the Y. M. c. A. physical department
are trained and developed into strong,
manly men, Physical Director E. ].
Eigenmann, has arranged an excellent
program of stunts by the youngsters
in the course of training. The exhi
bition of gymnastic achievements is
an annual affair, and was formerly
held in the opera house, but the event
is of such large proportions this year
that the big gym" floor Is required to
accommodate 1t. The program will
be given Tuesday evening March 81,
and it promises to be the best that the
association has ever given, having adj
ditional features about it that could
not be given on a stage.
Program is Varied.
The different drills are given under
the leadership of larger boys SO that
the whole thing is composed entirely
of youngsters. The first three events
are under the leadership of Arthur
Colt and they are: marching, calls
themes and spring board high jump.
These are put on by the smaller boys
and are very interesting. Second
comes what will be a fast snappy in
teresting and exciting indoor baseball
game between the Giants and the
Cubs, for the championship. The two
teams have been picked from the best
layers in the smaller boys class and
both have met before, each getting a
game.
Acrobats to Perform.
The next and probably best number
of the list is tumbling, by four Of the
best young acrobats in the city. They
are Clarence King, Art Miller, Tom
Williams and Dick Young, and are
| clever gymnasts. King are Miller are
! especially strong. The Intermediates
give the next number which is the
running high jump. The older young
sters will show their friends some
very good high jumping. Pyramid
| building. by the business boys comes
next. A number of pyramids will be
made by the boys and in some as
many as twenty-ei boys will take
part
Juniors to Participate.
Under the leadership of Clarence
King the Juniors will give an ex-
cellent dumb bell drill. This is very
large class and will make a pretty
ferent drills. Following will come ar

(BY BARRATT o'HARA.)

Chicago, March Pin the sloppy
month of April the, championship
lights of AL Kaufman, challenger or
James J. Jeffries, may go glimmerlng.
Mind you, l say MAY, not will. 1t
all depends on Sandy Ferguson, who
was once rated as a mighty likely
young fellow, but has for the last year
or two been listed in the down and
out class. Sandy hooks UP with
Kaufman for twelve rounds on April
10, at Boston. Because Of Ferguson's
quick knockout of that Michigan
giant, Kubiak, the match holds premier
Importance over all the bouts sched-
uled for the coming month. Ferguson
defeated Kubiak by an old trick, the
trick of smuggling man senseless a
moment after the handshake when
the victim has not put himself on
guard. It isn't likely that Sandy can
repeat this trick on Kaufman, but the
memory of it and the knowledge that
he is again in the limelight may spur
him on to herculean effort. Don't
make mistake; this chap Ferguson
has mighty wallop, and when his
mind and body are not wasted by
fluids not carried on the water-wagon,
he can fight like regular, thirteen
inch champion. What shift he
would make in the heavyweight ranks
were he to put one over on Kaufman.
At once he would be in position to
land renumerative match with Jack
Johnson. Meanwhile, Rubiak, tenn
porary set back by his defeat at
Sundays hands, is working hard to
win back his laurals. This coming
Monday night, at Brooklyn, he will
essay the task of whipping Jim Barry
in ten rounds. Barry has been trounced
a number of times by Sam La6gford
and others, but he Is still a hard Gus
toner for any Of them to handle.
Poor Billy Papke! The pugilistic
world never witnessed a sadder case
Of bursted balloon. Only few months

hasn't any standing left. Stanley
Ketchel knocked him out. Hugo Kelly

Normal Elberfeld, shortstop Of the
New York Highlanders is one of the
most valuable of major league players,
as he combines all the qualifications
of star No member of his profes-
sion is more daring in running bases
or blocking a runner. No pitcher has
ever driven him from the plate, but he
often gets in the way of pitched ball
in the hope of being awarded first
base, many of his rows with umpires
having their origin in this trick. His
leg was injured early last spring in
collision but is showing up strong
this year. He played in the Virginia
Texas and Southern leagues before
joining the Detroit team of the West
ern league, from which he went tc
Cincinnati, but was turned back to the
Wolverines. In 1908 the Kid was trans
ferred to the New York Highlanders
for which he is now starring.

christ has issued the following proc
lamation:
There is now being conducted a
campaign of education for the study
and prevention of tuberculosis in
this state. Tuberculosis has been
well described as the great white
plague.
Tho United States census report for
the census year ending May 81, 1900,
shows that the total deaths OF the
white race for that year was S92, 092.
OF this number 1888, not quite 10
per cent, died from consumption. or
the colored race, the total deaths
were 147O02; 22,236, about is per
cent, being from consumption. The
total estimate in Florida was 6,4S2,
559, less than 8 per cent. died from
consumption. or these $50, 269 died
between the ages OF 10 and "a.
The state board of health estimates
that the money cost of tuberculosis,
including capitalized earning power
lost by death, exceeds $4,000 per capt.
Ia, estimating the numbers OF deaths
In 1896 upon this, places the total
annual cost In the United States at
$l,lOO, 100000 per annum. The cost
OF tho suffering to those who have
this dread disease cannot be esti-
mated.
The state board OF health states
that scientists not only think, but
believe that the disease can be
checked. and not only checked but
obliterated and effaced from the
earth, II a well organized attempt Is
made In the direction OF assistance,
and with keen sighted educational
measures and supervision.

GROWTH AMAZING
Realty Men Estimate POpuIa.
ton Has Increased 5000
in Nine Months.

Real estate men declare the popula-
ton of Salt Lake has been increased
by almost 5000 people during the past
nine months Their estimates are based
upon the unusually large number of
residences. family hotels and apart
ment houses that have been erected i'm
the city during that period, and the
comparatively small number Of vaCan-
cies reported at the present time They
claim that the increase in population
in that period has been the largest i'm
the history of the city.
The Utah Gas & Coke company, the
Utah Light e Railway company and
the city water officials report a great
increase in the amount of installation
work done.
The past nine months have been
marked by an unprecedented activity in
the building of apartment houses. An
nOuncement was made almost daily in
the early part of the season Of the cree
ton Of new apartment houses. So many
were planned. in course Of erection and
completed that rental agents feared
that the city had been OverbUilt, but
there are prOpOTtiOnately fewer vacau-
cies at this time of the year than is
usual.
The sale of houses built by invest
ment companies during the summer
has also furnished pleasing evidence of
the growth of the city.

Mayor Says It Differs From Blue

to Take Blacks Word.

With the exception of the Short Line
franchise for a track in Third West
street, Mayor John S. Bransford yes
terday approved all of the legislation Of
the city council Monday night. It is
still claimed that the franchise differs
from the blue print, both submitted by
the Oregon Short Line officials, and
they were sent by Mayor Bransford to
the city engineer to be checked up.
A hot little exchange of words be-
tween Councilman Ed O'DonneH and
Councilman T. r. Black has developed
over this franchise matter, and O'Don-
nell refused to take the word Of the
councilman from the Fifth. When the
matter was returned to the council

look at the new franchise and blue
