T.e papke- Thomas fake fight Of
Thursday night did not go unnoticed
by the board OF supervisors yesterday
at their meeting. and the city fathers
who had seen the contest were unani-
nous in declaring it one of the rawest
swinjles which the public had seen in
this city
II is very doubtful if a local fight
promoter would give a permit again
TO stage Papke, as the present board
mas blacklisted him, and there is but
little chance Of any OF the managers
OF the four clubs which hold profess
siOnal permits in this city TO have
nerve enough 20 think Of putting him
on here again as long as the present
board rules.
While Promator Jim Cofroth was
down at san Mateo pulling off fight

was being given a thorough going
\ yer AT the meeting OF the local city
athers by Supervisor Nelson.
HERGET DIsGUsTED
During the discussion OF the merits
~ the Papke-Thomas affair Supervisor
Herget had a little TO say. Il agree
taat the contest was rotten" said
IIerget IF had known how it was
-
posed granting the permit. If IL would
not have looked so much like playing

down into the ring and asked the ref
cree TO declare all bets off," he con-
tinued
Then Supervisor Nelson took up the
cudgel against Cofroth.
Herget took exception to Nelson's
remarks, saying he regarded COfroth
square man.
Then Supervisor Walsh Joined in. 1t
is az imposition. This scalping bust
ness is an imposition on laboring men,
declared Walsh
AS far as scalping is concerned"
said Herget, 4 think that is matter
Tor the police"
That Thursday nights affair has
souTed some of the supervisors against
the game was evident. and another af-
fair OF its kind is likely TO deal the
crUsher on the sport.
SHOULD BE A LESSON
There is no reason why one man
should be allowed TO kill the sport.
There are crooked men in various
forms Of sport as well as in business
life. and il can not be expected that
fighters are the highest type of citi-
zens.
On a racecourse, or even in baseball,
when anybody connected with the sport
IS found in a crooked deal, he is black
listed This same rule should exist in
boxing. Men Of the Papke type should
be blacklisted and kept down II is

Play by Senior Class.

"Hiawatha," the big Indian play
that will be presented in the Opera
House Tuesday evening. November
%. by the senior class of the High
school, assisted by 200 school chill
dren, will prove to be one of the most
entertaining and picturesque amateur
plays ever seen in Skowhegan.
Longfellow's beautiful Indian love
story appeals strongly to the major
ity and it's interest will be heighten-
I'd by Indian musical numbers, inter-
spersed between the pictures, in the
way of fancy dancing and drills.
One of the big features of the play
will be the chorus of $50 school chill
dren all in Indian costume and from
then on will ring the typical Indian
spirit. Everyone in Skowhegan
should see "Hiawatha," first, because
it is well worth seeing, second to help
and encourage the students efforts.

FRED DULAC ATTACKED
BY unknown MAN
Hold-up and Attempted Robbery Near
Creamery Saturday Night.

Fred Dulac was attacked by a burly
foot-pad about half-past seven Satur-
day evening, but succeeded in escap-
ing from his assailant. He had been
calling at his brothers home on
Hathaway street and was passing a
dark place near the Skowhegan Jer-
sey Creamery when his assailant
jumped out from the driveway. The
ruffian seized Dulac. threw him to
the ground, and demanded his money.
Dulac grappled with the man, and to-
gether they rolled back and forth in
the muddy street He finally broke
his. assailant's hold, scrambled to his
feet and made good his escape. He
was plastered with mud from head to
foot end pretty badly scared, but 9TH
erwise suffered no injury. Sheriff John
A. Mooers was notified Immediately,
but shortly before 10 o'clock repaired
to the scene of the assault with Dep
uty c. H. Chute. and made so much of
an investigation as the darkness
would permit. Some clues were OBJ
tanned and the officers are following
them diligently. Dulac could give no
description of his assailant beyond the
fact that he was above medium height,
and of wiry build

WHITMAN COED HAS
POWER TO HYPN OTIZE

Wal.a Walla.-Miss Jessie Kent,
freshman at whitman college, could
as accurately write professor" before
her name as any hypnotist, for this
woman has had OF lot of success and
fun with her experiments, according
to rumors that come from the college
world.
Students of Whitman rooming in
Reynolds Hall are frequently put
through the PAGES usually suggested
bv professors" and like the meek
subjects of the sauve evening clothes
gentleman with the wand they do 1t
as willingly.
One girl recently went through a
stunt of singing all the songs suggest
ed by Miss Kent, though the subject
did not know them, Standing on ones
head. rolling over and doing things
like that are very common.
Miss Kent is making a serious study
of the matter and has been investi-
eating the possibilities of hypnosis
ever since she was in the high school.
She says it takes a strong minded girl
to be hypnotized and that lots of
girls cannot concentrate their minds
long enough to go into the frances
suggested by the instructor.
Many of the girls at the college VIII
not submit to the tests, having seen
the stunts that others do, but 1t is
stated that she finds plenty with which
to amuse herself. Miss Kent is from

If the flood of communications to
congressman protesting against any
increase in the postal rates on sec
ond class matter should continue the
troublesome deficit of the postoffice
department might be wiped out with
out any special legislation. Every
member of the lower house is re-
ceiving from ESQ to 800 letters day
from constituents on this and other
subjects now pending before con-
gress.
Next in popularity with the corr
| respondents after the postal question
comes the tax on oleomargarine. Folks
in the dairy district are protesting
| against repeating the tax, and letters
just as vehement from the south ask
that the tax be repealed. ut is just
| as good as butter" wrote q man from
| Texas to one congressman, "and l
protest, sir, against this class of leg
islation." "Oleomargarine is
fraud" read the next letter the same
congressman opened, "and is a rank
imitation of butter. Every dairyman
in the United States asks that the tax
| be retained"
Then comes the postal savings bank
proposition. Many letters objecting
to the bill are identical in wording
and even written on the same kind Of
paper. and the suspicion is strong
that they emanate from some par
ticularly interested financial quarter

ters asking for seeds. ''Impeach
