Reno, Nevada, June 2S.-Boiling
with excitement and showing thrills
equal to the days of the gold rushes
Reno is greeting many early arrivals
to witness the big prize fight. Large
amounts of money are being wagered
which increases the excitement. The
odds are favoring Jeffries. Jeffries
is showing the grouchiness charac
teristic of him just before fight
Johnson's weight is announced at 2O7
and it is believed Johnson will fight
at 200 pounds. Jeffries will then
have 20 pounds the advantage in
weight over Johnson. Trainers OF
both men show uneasiness. Both men
appear in the best condition, and both

Wall Street Depressed.

New York, June 27.-The stock
market developed a weak tone today
and the explanation was not obvious
Rumors were circulated early that j
P. Morgan had died suddenly or was
seriously i'll, but the appearance OF
Mr.. Morgan at his office caused it to
be assumed that bear activities were
responsible for the downward course
of prices. This assumption was weak,
ened when the fall in prices was re-
newed with even greater violence.
The active trading stocks were 2@4
points lower than the close of Satur-
day by the middle of the afternoon.
The unexplained weakness gave rise
to feeling of dread that some bad
news was lowering over the market.
The selling was actively renewed
from time to time during the after
noon and the last prices were the low
est of the day.

Knows Nothing of Conference.


Washington, June Pho informa-
ton has been received at the White
House of the intention of Governor
Hughes and Colonel Roosevelt to ask
the president to participate in con-
ference in Massachusetts during the
week upon political conditions in New
York and their remedy If such a
conference is to be held on Wednes-
day or Thursday at Beverly, the de-
tails have not yet been arranged 1t
is known at the White House that
Col. Roosevelt is to be at the Har-
ward commencement, and in the vicin-
ity of Beverly. Whether or not he
will see President Taft is not known.
The president, who has been getting
up at o'clock and working well into
the night during the last days of con-
gress, is going to have rest. The
first two weeks of his stay in Beverly
will be as free from office cares as
thoes of a man in his position can be-
Any local committee desiring to hold
a picnic on the lawn of his summer
cottage, or invite him to attend
meeting of the county grange, will
either send its suggestions in writing
or be turned away.
Getting up at o'clock is not a
fairy tale about the president, either.
He has been doing it lately, and if an
oath is required to make the story
believed it can be obtained from a
stenographer, who has been getting up
to greet the president and take his
dictation at that hour.

Great School Planned for Practitioners
High Research Work to be Offered in
America. New Site for Johns Hopkins.
New YORK, August 9Th. That the
recent growth of this country calls for
higher development of it's engineers,
lawyers, doctors, scientists and educa-
tors is the belief of many professional
and industrial leaders in this city, who
are perfecting plans to offer on American
soil the advantages of extended work
in every field. The removal of Johns
Hopkins University to new quarters and
the establishment of schools of higher
engineering and of jurisprudence in con-
nection with Its other graduate depart
ments are some of the steps that are
being proposed toward equipping Ameri-
ca with those facilities for higher learn
ing that now must be sought abroad.
With university for practising profess
sional men thus set up near the capital
Of the nation, it is believed that it's peo-
pie will be better able to handle their
present pressing industrial as well as
scientific and educational problems.
Men, rather than marble structures,
are desired to round out the university in
which it is hoped any lawyer and en-
gineer in the country may soon be able
to fit himself for higher attainments.
Since Johns Hopkins was founded, thirty
five years ago, with the primary object of
advancing knowledge through research,
brains to be worked with more than
buildings to be looked at, have been the
governing idea Of the institution accord
ing to its graduates! Though the new
campus structures, to which it is ex-
pected many professional workers will
flock, are being planned on large and
adequate scale, it has been decided that
they must have the simplicity Of intel
lectual workshops instead Of the elabor-
many colleges.
Toward realizing this ideal of uni
versity for advancing all the scientific,
professional and educational labors of
America, $250,0O0 has been offered by
the General Educational Board with the
proviso that $750,OOO be subscribed in
addition to complete million-dollar fund,
half of which is to be preserved as per-
manent endowment. Many industrial
leaders, irrespective of their own col
lege affiliations, are reported to be in
teresting themselves in this movement
to provide higher training and research
facilities. The intensive training of the
nations doctors and lawyers at the ex
tended university is also said to be at
tracing the support of men and women
all over the country.
Every State in the Union numbers
many graduates Of Johns Hopkins among
it's college and professional leaders, as is
shown by tabulated statistics that have

Frank W. Gowen of Waterville, one
of the foremost temperance workers in
Maine and we'll known as speaker and
writer, as well as business man, has
become the author of brilliant histori-
cal novel. Following is statement from
the Boston publishing house, one OF the
largest in the country, concerning Mr..
Governs Forthcoming book:
"Maine authors have received an ad-
dition of note this year in the person OF
Frank W. Gowen of w aterville, Maine,

exceedingly fascinating historical novel,
The Queen of the Kennebec, or The
Last of the Wampanoags, which is in
press and shortly to be issued by we'll
known Boston publishing house noted for
the taste and workmanship of books
issued by them.
"Mr. Gowen, the author of this grand
addition to American literature, has for
years made deep study of Arnold's i'll
fated expedition to Canada, having in the
meantime travelled over the entire route
that General Arnold led his army, which
suffered such frightful disaster in the
dark, stormy wilderness.
"The author has also spent much time
at Swan Island in the Kennebec, gather
ing data of Aaron Burr's connection with
a beautiful native Princess by the name
of JacataGue, whom it is claimed once
lived on the Island and was called The
Queen of the Kennebec,' and who was
loved by Aaron Burr as few men love a
woman. Her beauty so attracted him
that he took her with him to Quebec in
ITS, when he accompanied General Ar
mold on his famous invasion to the North.
"Other distinguished historical charac-
tiers are interviewer in this interesting
love romance, which is one of the most
fascinating and pleasing historical novels
ever written, and founded on events of
American history.
"The volume is large l2mo., beauti-
fully illustrated, printed on high grade
laid paper and bound in English silk
finish cloth, list price 81. Is per copy. The
influx of advance orders indicate that the
book will surpass in demand and sale any
American novel of recent years issue.
