Weston ore. July 6-The beau

fire this afternoon at about 4 O'Clock.
The loss will reach into the thousands
Tor practically nothing of the contents
was saved The response to the
alarm of fire was very very prompt
and soon there was large crowd
present to render what aid was pos
siblc. The hose carts Were soon on
the scene, but the distances from fire
hydran,s we're so great that before
the hose could be coupled in lengths
sufficient to reach the burning build
ing it was too late to be of any SER
vice in saving the building. The in
surance is not known at present. AS
far as can be learned the fire origi-
mated in the kitchen from the range
which at the time had fire in 1t.

has begun the task of hauling lum-

score of cuts and bruises, sat in his
corner trying to understand what his
seconds and other friends were telling
him.
Whats that?" was the burden of
his conversation, as he gazed about.
Cheer up, Jim," said Corbett, you
did the best you could"
Not a lot was it," said jeff a few
minutes later.
Jeff rested a few minutes before he
was able to steady himself enough to
make his way out of the ring and to
the room where his handlers took hold
of him and brought him back to condi-
ton.
In the meantime, the police, the
deputy sheriffs and the special con-
stables were having hard time of it
trying to clear the ring. Chief Burke
of the Reno force hustled men off the
platform right and left The deputies
and constables helped and soon the
platform was quite clear. About a
dozen men, with big wild west re-
volvers, formed a guard around John
son as he left the ring to go to his
quarters. There was not sign of hos
tility toward the black as he worked
his way along one Of the runways lead
ing from the ring, in fact it was ap-
parent that his victory was neither a
surprise nor a disappointment to a big
crowd who watched the fight. AS a
whole the fight was a sorry spectacle

tempt to box with the negro

JEFFR|ES PUT OUT
coLoRED MAN PROVES HIMSELF
SUPERIOR FIGHTER.
AGE UNMATCHED BY YOUTH
Former Champion Proves Unable to
Exchange Blows With the Husky
Colored Man, Now King of
the Prize Ring.
BY w. n. M'LAUGHLIN.

Reno, Nev.-Jack Johnson showed
that he is clearly entitled to be called
the greatest heavyweight fighter in the
history of the prize ring when he
knocked James ]. Jeffries out in the
fifteenth round of their encounter in
the arena here. A most remarkable
knockout it was. Near the close of
the round Johnson put in left to
Jeff's jaw and followed it with a right.
This was right near Jeff's own corner.
The former champion staggered to the
floor of the ring and as he rolled over
the bell sounded. This, if noticed by
the ring officials, would have given
Jeff chance to rest for the minute
interval between rounds, but appar-
emily everybody, principals, referee,
timekeepers, seconds and advisers had
lost their heads and the bout went on.
Johnson, setting himself as Jeff arose,
bounced on him again and pounded
him across the ring. Again and again
he sent Jeff to the floor and through
the ropes in almost the same spot. Jim
COrbett, Abe Attell, Roger Cornell and
Bob Armstrong boosted the semi-con-
scious Jeff to his feet, but Johnson
was there once more and smashed him
a right to the jaw that sent him down
for keeps.
Jeff did not lose consciousness. He
had an awfully tired and sheepish look
as they half led, half carried him to his
corner, a heartbroken, disappointed
man on whom the agony of defeat was
written in lines more strongly than
pen can portray.
AS soon as it was seen that the most
sensational contest of prize ring his
tory was over there was scramble
for the ring. From every side the
crowd surged forward and climbing
over seats and benches they swarmed

Unity of the Universe.

According to the Spencerian view,
the universe is a complex unity,
which, when reduced to it's ultimate
analysis, is seen to be one fact-the
redistribution of matter and motion
all phenomena being complex aspects
of that one fact Under the name of
evolution Spencerianism undertook
to show that the universe, from star
to soul, has passed, by a process of
development, from the simple to the
complex through successive integra-
lions and differentiations. For con-
venience phenomena are divided into
sections-as geology, biology,
psychology, and sociology-but the
process is one, and the law of the
process is one. Evolution is one in
principle and fact-Hector Macpher-
son, in "Spencerianism Up to Date, -

quently forgotten, or at least neglect
ed. Chest up is the essential direc-
ton, and one might always say the
only one needed, since in lifting the
chest the shoulders are at the same
time thrown back and down and the
abdomen drawn in. To swell the chest
with full, deep breath and to hold
the position is secret of the correct
position. The chin should be held in
but not stifl1y SO, and the weight
should be on the balls of the feet in
stead of on the heels. One can teach
oneself to take invariably that posi-
ton when rising from a chair, at first
consciously and afterward uncon-
sciously.

Importance Of Deep BREATHING.

Nervousness can be cured by form
ing the habit of breathing deep and
long, and one medical authority pre-
scribes it in his schedules for nervous
women. All singers are invariably
high-chested and free from colds or
chronic coughing spells. 1t is because
they have learned to breathe from the
waist instead of the top of the lungs.
as the majority of people do. To
breathe deeply is to stimulate the
heart and circulation 1t means a full
high chest and broad shoulders. 1t
means practical immunity from the
dangers incurred by exposure It
means good carriage and well-poised
head. And best of all, it means per-
feet physical health.

Republican majority, to which the
nomination was sent April 80, held
up the appointment until July 20.
Then the committee reported it to the
senate without recommendation"
For three hours that body debated
in executive session whether to con-
firm or reject the nomination. The
attack on Mr.. Fuller was led by Sena-
tors Edmunds, Evarts and Stewart,
Senators Cullom and Farwell defended
him.
The reports that he had been a
"copperhead" during the Civil war
and that he did not possess the re-
uuisite ability as a lawyer were gone
over.
His Great Victory.
Finally, by vote of Al to 20, his
nomination was confirmed
Since that day the entire court, as
it then existed, has passed away with
the single exception of Justice Har-
Ian. Of those prominent in the fight
over his confirmation only Senator
Cullom remains, and President Cleve-
land. who thus honored the Illinois
lawyer, has likewise gone to his
grave.
Throughout his service Chief Justice
Fuller was noted for the dignity with
which he filled the position. He pre-
served that manner on the bench or
off.
Although small of stature, not more
than five feet seven inches, his wealth
of silvery hair and classic features
made him a commanding figure wher-
ever he appeared.
Chief Justice Fuller leaves an in
delible stamp on the laws of the coun-
try. Among his most famous opinions
are the following:
His Famous Decisions.
The income tax decision, in which
the income tax law was held to be
unconstitutional.
The Danbury hat case, by which Ia
Dor unions were held to be amenable
to the Sherman antitrust law.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany versus the Commonwealth OF
Pennsylvania, in which the state was
denied the right to tax telegraph mes
sages, except when interstate.
The Bank of Washington versus
Hume, in which the insurable interest
of the wife and children in the life
of the husband and father was recog-
nized as distinguished from the claims
of creditors.
Innan versus South Carolina Rail-
way company, in which the railroad
was denied the power to exempt it
self from liability for it's negligence in
the shipment of goods.
Moore versus Crawford, in which
married women were made to bear liza
hilities, such as those growing out OF
the fraudulent sale of land, as well as
the legal rights.
Leisy versus Haddin, in which the
state was denied rights over original
packages of liquor in interstate COM
merce, an opinion which led to the
passage of the Wilson liquor law.

Climatic Differences.

On the coast of southeastern Alaska
the average annual precipitation is
about ninety inches and trees grow
to large size; in the central plateau,
the precipitation is less than fifteen
inches, including the melted snow,
and the average size of timber is
small; while on the arctic slope, north
of Rocky mountains, climatic condi-
tons make forest growth altogether
impossible, and those vast tundras are
covered chiefly with moss, sedges and
a few small shrubs.

The latest cotton report shows con-

on to hasten maturity and possibly
will increase the output over even the

have had a somewhat serious effect on
the market, but the slump in prices
shows that some spectators at least
have overreached themselves.
