FIRST PICTURES OF NELSON-M MORAN FIGHT
BATS FINISH LIKE
HIS CAREER,
WAS GAME
BY RINGSIDER.

At last, Battling Nelson, the
earnest, toughest, Lad in any class
that ever pulled en- a glove, the
most wonderful piece of fighting
machinery the ring has ever
known, has been counted out.
Though helpless, his face a smear
eff blood, his eyes aglaze, the
great Dame in his fight in Sam
Francisco with Owen Moran,
again demonstrated that his is a
heart of oak. Although beaten
TO pulp, he tried to come up af-
ter the final knockdown and want
ed to resume, feebly protesting
through his swollen lips that he
had not been knocked cut. -- And
Ire wasn't, although it will go in
the records as a knockout.
1t was simply another case cf
not being able to come back. The
marvellous fiber which has with
stood more and harder beatings
than amy man has taken, was,
worn <Thature had paid its toll, tine
cogs and cams slipped too easily
and the inevitable was defeat.
Nelson has fought his last fight,

dimmed. was a square fighter,
he was game, he was always on
the level and The never failed to
fight his hardest no matter what
the odds against him. Fer eight
OF the fourteen years he has been
in the ring he fought I'm uphill
battle and when HE reached tine
top he was ever ready to take on
the hardest men i'm the game. He
tsidestepped none of them and
when they asked for another
chance he never dsnied it.
TRULY a great fighter, Nelson
has carved a distinctive niche for
himself in ring history. Decades
after the present fight fans are
gone, the generations to come
will speak eff him as the hardest
nut in the world to crack"
Which he was.
ROUND II.
Both men came up strong. Mo-
ran shot a terrific right hook to
Nelson's jaw and the Dane top
Piled over as though hit by a
sledge hammer. e tried to arise
to his, feet, his features eontorted
into a ghastly grin and the blood
streaming from nose and mouth.
With on hand showing back
Moran, Referee Selig began to
count, but Nelson was up. AS he
got to his feet, Moran rushed at
him like a tiger and battered him
with a right cross and let's and
rights. The Dane went down
again but managed to stagger to
his feet. When he arose at end
of the fourth Touchdown Moran
smashed him with a terrific right
squarely on the jaw and the Dane
pitched forward on his head,
turning a complete somersault.
AS the referee slowly telled off
the seconds Nelson tried repeated
ly to get to his feet but the last
punch was too much for even mis-
iron frame, and he heard the
fatal ten" tolled in his ear. Bat
thing Nelson, one of the toughest
fighters the world has ever seen,
had at last been knocked out.

Severe Winter on Bees.

The severe winter, together
with the preceding drought, was
responsible for the loss of a large
numb her of bees in this vicinity.
Since the weather has opened
many bee.keepers have made an
examination of their aplarles and
found that from one.third to one.
half of the colonies have become
extinct during the winter.
Old bee keepers state that not
for decade or more has there
been a winter that has been as
hard on the creatures as the past
three months. The hardships of
the severe weather was augment
ed by the drought of last fall.
Owing to the scarcity of honey
during the late summer months
the bees did not breed to any
great extent and the winter be
gan with all the hives containing
but small quota of the insects.
Because of the small number the
proper warmth in the hives could
not be maintained and the frost
got IN It's deadly work.
Last fall drought was, however,
as much to blame for the bees as
the long cold, cold winter. Dur
ing the fall months when vegeta
ton was dried up and there were
no flowers In bloom, the bees
gathered little or no honey, and
as a result of the fact that the
queens will not propagate when
their subjects are not gathering
honey, they entered upon the
winter with a scanty hoard of
honey and small swarms.

LIME AS A FERTILIZER.
Practical Hints Dropped by Dean Hunt
In chambersburg.

The Cumberland Valley Rail
road run a Farmers Institute on
wheels last week, the instructors
making a railroad tour through
the Valley, meeting the farmers
at principal stations.
The following from Dean Thorn
as F. Hunts address In Cham.
bersburg, will be of special inter.
est to the farmers of this county:
In his remarks Mr. Hunt show.
ed concluslvely that grass repays
heavy fertilization as surely as do
cultivated crops. His figures
showed that fertilizers should go
upon the rass lands rather than
upon the corn, which usually fol.
lows grass. Double returns are
thus secured. Hay yields are
vastly increased and the heavy
sods make large corn yields later
on. The teaching of DR.. Hunt IN
this respect would add hundreds
of thousands Of dollars to the val.
ue of Pennsylvania grass crops if
everyone were willing to put them
into practice.
One striking truth presented
was that all solids lose lime con-
tinually, and much land In Penn
sylvanla has reached a point
where there Is an actual lack of
lime to keep the ground sweet
and friendly to plant life. Glover
has ceased to grow even in some
limestone valleys, because the
available lime has leached away.
There must be lining to, correct
acldity or clover will become a
thing of the past and soil fertility
cannot be cheaply maintained.
Very heavy lining was consider
ed irrational, and the plea was on
ly for sufficient lime to keep all
acid destroyed, and to permit the
growth of heavy clover sods. The
statement was made that prob
ably every acre IN Pennsylvania
would some day reach the stage
IN which the application of lime
would be an absolute necessity.
The results presented from TWEEN
ty-eight years experiment with
fertilizers at State college greatly
interested these progressive farm
ers. The results show conclus-
ively that light applications OF
manure, reinforced by phosphor.
ic acid and potash, or clover rein
forced with these chemicals, In.
crease soil fertility sure and pro.
htably.

SAW WILD DEER FEEDING.
The Distinguished Playwright Spends
Delightful Time at Mont Alto.

Visitors TO the White Pine san.
atorium at Mont Alto are always
surprised and usually delighted
with the situation and conditions
there. One of the persons of dis
tinctlon who the past week spent
short time there was Mrs. Mary
Roberts Rlnehart, the author,and
playwright. Her "Seven Days"
now at the Astor theatre in New
York, is described as 1.-THE great
est comedy hit in twenty years. !"
Telling Of her visit, Mrs. Rine-
hart said: "I am deeply impress.
ed with Mont Alto. I have just
come from one of americas fam.
Gus Health Resorts, and compar
ing one with the other, l think
Mont Alto more than holds It's
own. I went to stay an hour and
spent a whole day and a night.
"What impressed me? think
1t was the restfulness of the
place, that and the hope on the
faces of some new arrivals who
climbed the mountain just behind
US and the radiant happiness of
those who were going home cur
ed. There were plenty of other
things-the air, which must have
been surprise to my Pittsburgh
lungs-the order and cleanliness
of the place-lts size, for 1t looks
and Is trim vlllage-the cheer
tul faces of the attendants as well
as of the patients-the beautiful
indulgence of the convalescents-
and oh yes, the deer. Imagine
having wild deer that are not wild
and that had the colossal audaclty
to come down and eat the new
wheat under our very noses"

Reaches in the House.

The roach nuisance has been
brought to the attention of State
Zoologist II. A. Surface, Harris,
burg, by persons in different
parts of the State. The cold WIN
ter, which resulted IN brisk fires
being maintained to keep up the
temperature inside of dwellings,
may have resulted in these pests
becoming more numerous than
usual.
A lawyer of Indiana, Pa, wrote
to Professor Surface, saying:
"For some time past I have been
troubled with reaches. They
keep hid IN cracks durlng the
day, but at plght come out In
large numbers. l think they
must have been brought to the
house with groceries. Every
thing is kept clean and IN as good
condition as is usually found
about well.regulated house, and
still they stay. We have tried
various things in trying to get rid
OF them. suppose that fumigat
ing the entire house with formal
dehyde would be effective. If
you can give me any simple meth
cd of getting rid OF them, will
be grateful for the advice"
Professor Surface replied as
follows:
'These pests are quite persist
ent invaders, and generally can
not be extermlnated by a single
application. For this reason a
combination of methods Is deslr
able. Powdered borax blown
around cracks they inhabit, es
pecially around damp places in
the kitchen floors, will help to
drive them away. Powdered su
gar, one part and plaster of Paris,
two parts, mixed together, will
prove to be good remedy. One
of the best remedies is proprie
tary substance sold on the mark
ct under the name of "Roach
Paste" or "Roach Food" I
should avoid the PHOSPHORUS
polsons, as they are dangerous to
use In the house. If the annoy
ance caused by reaches should
reach the extreme limit and 1t be
necessary for you to fumlgate,
you can do this safely with hydro
cyanic acid gas, although you
will have 10 vacate the rooms dur
ing the time Of the fumigation. 1
should not attempt to fumigate
for them with formaldehyde, as i
do not think this would be sffici
eut in destoying reaches.

GERMS ON DOLLAR BILLS.
New Jersey Congressman Had Them
Counted on One Bill, and Found
Just $4,000, 900.

Germs-92, 900, 900 of them, of
manifold varlety-were found on
a one dollar bill microscopically
examined at the request of Rep
resentative Wiley, OF New Jersey,
according to his statement
before the House Com mlttee on
Banking and Currency, IN sup.
port of his bill to provide clean
currency by burning all paper
money returned to the Treasury.
Among the many diseases
found to be circulating about this
money were smallpox, scarlet
fever, typhoid, tuberculosis and
diphtherla. Another bill exam
med by the Agricultural Depart
ment. Mr.. Wiley said, disclosed
the presence of 13,518,000 living
bacteria.
No germs were found on metal
money. The dollar bills of con-
slant circulation have the most
bacteria about them, and it was
found that the larger the denomi.
nation of the bill, the fewer germs
it contained.
To get rid of these dangerous
dollar bills, many persons during
the last week or two have been
sending them to the NEWS Office
IN payment of subscription. Full
ly realizing the danger, the Edl-
tor has provided himself with a
stout club, and will resist to the
finish any efforts of these germs
to bite him.

nations for a position as conf
Dental secretary for an officer of
high rank IN the N. u. of Penna-
these two young ladies took a
stroll. Ye-, my friends, they
took a stroll-so they did. 1t
sometimes happens that when
the blasts of winter have become
blasted, and the bluebird begins
to war BILE, and the hum of the
bum blebee is waited on the soft
warm breeze that floats down
from the sunny side of Cove
mountain-I say it sometimes
happens, my friends, that maid
ems are tempted to stroll. In this
particular instance, the lnclina-
tion of these young ladies led
them to stroll IN the direction of
the Coal Nine, east of town.
Their course to the Coal Mine
was detected by the attraction of
certain beautiful farm buildings,
and curiosity led them to venture
nearer to a finely finished dwell
ing house, on the front of whose
walls are two marble slabs-one
bearing the name of the owner,
and the other-well, the girls
saw that there was plenty of room
for a name. AS there were no 9th
er persons about the premises,
the girls could not RESTRAIN their
curiosity to peep In through the
blinds and see the beautifully
carved mantels, the grill work
that ornaments the alcoves, the
handsomely papered walls, and
but just then the thought came
that they had started to see the
Coal Nine, and they left the COIL
ly furnished house with a sigh of
What a pity! AS they turned
their faces from this handsome
residence, the commodious bank
barn covered with slate, the
aplary where many stands Of
bees were busy warming up to
their work of another season s
store Of honey, they wended their
way in the silence of deep mental
abstraction. But IN crossing a
meadow where a flock of geese
were busy cropping each spear
of green grass that had made its
appearance, the dreams of these
girls were suddenly interrupted
as they we're put to an lnglorious
fight by three pugnacious old
ganders, and to say that those
girls did some fine sprinting
would not give the slightest idea
of how they ran and scrambled
over fences. Unlike certain
woman of whom some of us have
read, they did not look back, and
were not sure that the ganders
were not after them until they
were safely lchind locked doors
In their own homes. Don't ap-
ply at this Office for the names Of
the adventurous girls, for they
do not want their identity known.
