Revival At Dover.

The greatest revival in the history
of Dover Church is being carried on
at the Wesley NJ. f. Church at the
present time under direction Of the
Rev. Z. L. Hoffecker, pastor Of the
church only since the district conference
last March.
This is considered a rather phe-
nomenal situation. as it has been but
few months since the congregation
declared that it would not admit any
minister. other than the Rev DR.. A.
w. Lightbourne. to its pulpit and
even declared the intention of building
a new church so that il might have DR..
Lightbourne.
Over thirty-tive people were at the
altar Sunday night. begging to become
part of such congregation and each
day there has been at flow Of CONVEX
sions. The revival has been a sort of a
revelation TO the people of Dover and
the pastor is enthusiastically supported
by the entire membership. -Niddlteown

Legislative Notes.

A joint resolution was passed by the
Legislature last Tuesday requesting
Congress to take immediate steps to
investigate the cause of the constantly
increasing cost of food products. In
the resolution were these words: 1T
is generally believed that this great
increase in the cost of food products is
due to illegal combinations to raise
prices, which combinations are engen-
dered and fostered by protective tariff
which prevents our people from buying
their food in the open markets Of the
world" All of the Republicans voted
for the resolution before they realized
that they were registering protest
against the cardinal principle of the
Republican party. The resolution was
passed and has gone to Congress. and
the Democratic members of the Legis-
aturesare having good laugh at the
Republicans.

This Is the All Absorbing Quss-

BOTH ARE IN GRAND SHAPE.
How the Men Size Up In Coming Bat
tIe--Johnson viii Be Biggest Man
JEFF Ever Mst--Latter 10 to Fa-
vorite.
By TOMMY CLARK.

wv YHO is going to win the big
NV fight. Johnson or Je1ries?
w This is the question that Is
being asked by nearly every
male being in America. Canada, ENG
land. Ireland. Scotland, France. South
Africa. Australia. the Philippines and.
hi fact. every place on the globe where
the game Of fisticuffs is known. The
answer will be Forthcoming. No fight
has ever attracted more attention than
the coming one. and perhaps none ever
will. II will be Il battle Of the greatest
white man against the greatest black.
The pair are scheduled to battle forty
i've rounds for the largest purse ever
offered for prizefght--th Of $l0l.-
600 aud nm interest in the pictures. II
Is figured by those in the know that
the gate receipts will exceed $250-000.
1t is also figured that nearly $l,000'0OO
will be bet on the big mill
While the forthcoming fight ~ in al
respects the most important battle
ihat has ever been fought. yet no con
test hns drawn forth 50 much unfavor-
able criticism. Sizing it up from this
angle, II looks more like battle for
dollars than for title. The spirit Of
commercialism so pervades the whole
scheme that many OF the more sus-
piciogs have cried that the fight is
fixed aud that the negro will lose.
There is nothing in this talk. Neither
Johnson nor Jetfries has any idea Of
faking. 1t would be impossible for
the principals in the big fight TO frame
up deal. There's always sort Of an
Indehnable freemasonry among ring
followers that enables the holders Of
the password 10 spread It far and near.
The cat always gets out Of the bag.
As was to be expected. Jeffries is a
10 to Z fayorile In the betting, but his
is more a question OF sentiment than
cool. unbiased Judgment Men who
make close study Of pugilists and
their form are not so willing to risk
their dollars on the white. for they
fully recognize that man who has
been out Of the game as long as JEFF
fries has d big handicap to overcome
As Strong as Ever, Says Jeff.
In opposition to the opinion Of some
or the hest exponents Of physical cul-
ture Jenries says that he has come
back as strong as ever BY that he
means he can display the same won
derfnl form that enabled him TO beat
Fitzsimmons. Corbett. Rubin. Shar-
key and other big men into submis-
sion. In order to prove this assertion
when he gets into the ring Jefrries
must show speed. sfamina. biting
power aud ability to take punishment.
He possessed all these necessary quail
tiles when he was in his prime. II

Los Angeles Widow Wins Yuma Farm
From Wyoming Man at Recent
Auction Sale.

Los Angeles, Cal.--OutbId by
woman This was the experience Of
Edward B. Miner from the plains pf

at the United States land Office.
MIS-. Mary e. Delo, widow, residing
In this city, was the woman who re.
fused to be outdone by mere man.
The price paid was 1901.
The land for which Mrs. Delo and
Mr.. Midner were bidding was farm

cessful applicant in the drawing having
failed to make the first payment with
in the ten-day period.
When Receiver Robinson offered
this strip Of land at auction contest
for the farm was begun.
1t did not require the perception Of
a sage to see that the land was wanted
by both Mr.. Miner and Mrs. Delo.
AS quickly as one bid, the price was
raised by the other contestant for the
farm Rapidly the price was bid up
to s100 and then increased steadily
until 1t had scared to 5000. AT this
figure a friend Of Miner persuaded
him to withdraw from the bidding
and no person seemed willing to raise
the price of s2o1 bid by Mrs. Delo.
Receiver Robinson declared that
Mrs. Delo had purchased the first right
to file an entry on farm unit G SO Of
the Yuma lard project for $201. In
addition to this amount 1t will be
necessary for Mrs. Delo 70 pay the
regular government price of ss5 an
acre.
Defeated in this quarter, but deter
mined to have Yuma farm, Mr. Mil
ner studied the blue print showing the
location of the various units. and Sc
lected section which had been al
lowed to 60 BY default by the original
applicant, and filed an entry on It
without paying any money except the
regulation price Of s6b an acre.
It was farm unit G 3S. and Mrs. Delo

A man succeeds not because he advertises his
business but because he lives III because he eats IT,

The man who never builds air castles
builds castles Of any kind.
The great motive power Of any business is the
strenuous personal faith Of the man back Of it.
Put your name to the front; your own personality
This is tremendous force in Advertising People like
to know individuals. They like to feel that they are
being served by men; not simply getting their goods
out Of the hopper OF a treadmill And If people have
any kicking to do--and the Am erican people enjoy
kckine-they prefer kick individuals. II Is mighty
