Keno, New. June 21.-Rickard's Of
ficial statement, making the award of
the tight to Reno, follows:
Il have decided that the Jeffries-
Johnson fight will be in Reno. In
making the selection 1 wish to give NV
reasons for doing so. Goldf1eld made
an offer which it was hard to turn
down. They are the gamest lot of men
ever saw. This morning a committee
OF Goldheld business men offered to
take me to local bank and guarantee
me a gate of 100000. I decided on
Keno, however, for several reasons. In
the first place 1 did not feel that fight
fans from the east and west should
be compelled to take the extra 70
hour ride across the hot desert TO
Goldheld. Then, again, the people from
San Francisco can get here on the
morning of July 4 and leave the same
night In order to be back to their BUSH
ness tuesday morning. For this rea-
son, think probably one or two thou
SAND more will come from San Fran

could. They will build a suitable arena
and buy the $1,000 license for me.

NOTHING IS POISON.
Unless Taken in Large Enough Doses,
an Expert Testiaes.

Kansas City. Mo. June 21.-Pierce
Butler, special United States district
attorney of ST. Paul. Mimi, began the
cross examination of Dr. John A.
Wesener, president of the Columbus
laboratory, Chicago, in the bleached
-four trial in the federal court here to-
day.
During the cross examination ex-
tracts of testimony given by DR.. Wese-
ner at a hearing before Secretary of
Agriculture James Wilson were read to
the witness.
Attorney Butler brought the witness
to admit that he had testified at a
hearing before Secretary Wilson in
1908 that yeast and the processes used
in parching bread destroyed the nj
trites in bleached flour. DIR. Wesener
added that at that time, before he had
experimental so much with bleached
-four, he believed it contained nj
trites.
The witness was further quoted as
testifying before Secretary Wilson that
the process of bleaching flour was a
very fine advance in the art of mill
ing and that there was virtually no diff
ference in the bread made from
bleached and unbleached -four"
He said the testimony represented
his views still.
The witness said that raw flour was
a poison if taken in sufficient quanti-
ties. Pressed further by Attorney But
ler he said that bread was a poison if
taken in a sufficient quantity. He said
that strychnine and cyanide were not
poison unless taken in sufficiently large
doses.
''Then," shouted Attorney Butler, "if
I were to give Judge Scarritt here
little cyanide in his biscuits every day
I should not be guilty of administering
poison to him unless the quantity
were sufficiently large"
"I repeat" answered DR.. Wesener,
that the question of whether or not
a substance is poison depends entirely
upon the quantity administered"

HUSBAND HER "ANGEL."
Margaret Ellington Will Still Darn
Socks Though on Stage.

New York, June 21.-Margaret Hing
ton (Mrs. Edward ]. Bowes), who is TO
return to the stage, said today with the
consistent inconsistency of woman
that, whereas, she had given up the
stage forever to become a normal wo-
manly woman and please her husband,
she had learned in seven brief months
that 1t would be the perfectly normal
thing for her to please her husband by
going back to the stage.
81 know it will please him." Miss
Ellington said with a demure look up
into the big blue eyes of the huge Mr..
Bowes.
Tickle me to DEATH" doomed the
vast westerner. Outrage to waste her
talent. But, say, don't she look fine
like a kid of 16? Just look at that
blooms in her cheek Got that right out
of our sunsets out west"
1.-THE simple democratic life and
darning socks seem to have agreed
with Miss Ellington" assented the re-
porter
Socks, eh . exclaimed Mr.. Bowes.
That's right; she can darn 'em- Nary
a hole in these O. mine And when she
goes out on the road I'll go along when
can. She'll have her own private car
and can take the socks along
1t was then explained by Mrs. Bowcs
that hubby was going to be the angel
this time, and that he was going to be
about the most lavish angel that ever
was.
'I have got French piece said
Mrs. Bowes IAN adaptation that feel
sure will please. Mr.. Bowes will get
me the best support that can be
bought"
MI. Bowes will spend about $4,000
in launching his wife's new venture.
Then she would be provided with a
luxurious private car, which would be
her home She would take her own
cook along and the same darn1ng ball
she has been using ever since she pe-
came Mrs. Bowes.
81 want her to do Shakespeare" he
said. looking down upon her with in
finite pride, land I believe she can. 1
know she can, and I am not going TO
have her go to seed at home when she
can be out developing her talent. She
has got the divine fire, she has. Ever
since the spring she has been flooded
with letters begging her to come back
to the stage"
Only seven months have passed since
Margaret Ellington foreswore the stage
and the bonds that tied her to her
elderly husband and manager, Daniel
Frohman. Her last big success in THE
Thief had palled on her; the glamour
of the stage had utterly lost its attrac-
ton She was sick unto death of I'M
realities She yearned for the true
realisms of life, such as socks to darn
and babies to rear. She wanted to be
a ''reaP' woman. and no woman, she
believed, could be real without babies
or socks to darn, or other duties that
fall to the lot of the commonplace wife.

real estate dealer of Tacoma, Wash.

A. G. Samuel Says That Western
Towns Have New Life.

A. G. Samuel, president of tho Sam
uel Advertising company of st. Joseph,
was the speaker this noon in connec-
ton with a meeting of the Topeka Ad
bers. Two years ago Mr.. Samueis was
chosen as first vice president of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of Amer
lea, and he is a man of broad expert
ence along advertising lines.
He spoke particularly in regard to
the value of the use of color in adj
vertising, but began his remarks by
telling of the Ad club in st. Joe. of
which he is a member.
I'm St. Joe. our ad club has taken
a pretty bold stand in respect to mu-
nicipal affairs. and we have gained the
confidence of the people. We have
done much to better local conditions
and started the movement for q city
beautiful However. 1 am inclined to
think that our club sometimes gets
subjects
eve are all proud of our city. Our
western towns are beginning to realize
that there is now but little struggle
for competition between neighboring
cities, but that it is beginning to be
struggle between the east and the west
In ten years we will have great manu-
featuring interests in the west. and
there will be a great contest for trade.
I'VE are entering a new age in ad-
vertising. The public is going to be ed
ucated to the use OF new goods, and to
buy a better quality of goods
THE farmers of the country are go
ing to be able to market all products,
and waste will be eliminated. This will
be done by the means of advertising,
and it will mean more money for the
farmers and more money for the COM
munitieS-
THE literature that will go out to
the farmers by the end of five years
will not be the old harumscarum sort,
but will be elaborate. The color fea-
ture of advertising will come to the
front. We are going to get men who
will make a one color stroke and con-
vey a great deal of meaning.
IF you would please the customer
stay away from the blues and reds in
printing, using colors for illustrations
only. Do away with all fancy types
and print in black. Make your ads sim
pie.
You must have the right name for
your goods, the right advertising. and

WHEAT STILL CLIMBS.
No Rain Reports Cause Another Big
Advance at Chicago.

Chicago, June 21.-StilI no rain in the
Northwest This was the burden of
messages from the Dakotas and Mime
sofa today and as a result the wheat
pit of the board of trade here fairly
boiled with excitement. September
wheat, which closed yesterday at 941ac,
showed opening bids today ranging
from CSC to 97Ac, the latter figure be-
ing an advance of 2Ac.
In the spring wheat country the
weather was said to be scorching
with the temperature averaging over
80 degrees. Today's official weather
forecast was not comforting to farm
ers. 1t promised light showers in Min
nesota and cloudy for the Dakotas. A
Minneapolis newspaper is quoted as
stating that heavy general rains must
fall within two days or growers will
begin to plough under their crops.
A closing squirt based on the fact
that the trading day came to an end
without the needed rain sent September
to 9SH@Ac and the close was at 97Mc@
csc.
Des Moines, Ia, June 21.-The Iowa
crop bulletin issued today by DR.. Geo.
NJ Chapel, section director, states
the rains badly needed in the east
ern and extreme western counties of
Iowa. The stand of corn has improv-
ed, oats are in exceptionally good con-
dition and small grain is doing well.
