Francisco June %. The local people. who
have great deal of admiration for Har-
lem Tommy Murphy, believe that he is

well regarded here as Murphy. There

One Of the odd features of the English
statistics is that the 100 yards record,
while it has been equaled twice, once in
two years ago and has not been equaled
in thirty-five yes Similarly, the high
Jump record made thirty-three years ago
has never been equaled. 1t is safe to
say that Americans would move heaven
and earth before they would permit rec
ords to remain on the books this length
of time.

Middleweights Busy.

NV prediction that the return OF Billy
Papke from France would be sure to stir
up trouble in the middleweight class
seems about to be verified. Papke is to
have twenty-round fight with Frank
Klaus in San Francisco May IA. with the
understanding that the winner will be
matched with Stanley Ketchell for a
championship battle In July. This ought
to clear up the middleweight muddle.
Ketchell and Sam Langford are to fight
six rounds at the National A. c., in
Philadelphia, April p. and ketchell is
putting in some hard training work here
In New York for the contest Langford
Is a mighty tough proposition. and this
contest ought to show whether Stanley
is "going backward" as some of the
critics say.
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien has been
given another chance to show what he
can do with AL Kaufman, they just hav-
ing been matched to fight six rounds in
Pittsburg, April 81. This ought to -
some fight and II certainly will be the
great opportunity for Kaufman to break
out into the limelight as a candidHte for
heavyweight honnrs who cannot Ne over
looked as a future claimant fo7 the title
to which he aspires. In their last contest
Kaufman showed such an Improvement
and so we'll over O'Brien that some Of the
Phila delphia scribes seemed to think big
al was a conner. In the Quaker village,
where the reportorial glasses have SO
long been adjusted to OBrien's range,
this concession to Kaufman means a
whole lot.

DIAMONDS OF GREAT VALUE
Exhibit of Precious stones TO BE
Open 10 the Public All

To awaken Omaha jewelry lovers to the
possibilities at hand in their own city and
to celebrate his twentieth anniversary as
proprietor Of a jewelry establishment, Al
bert Edholm is placing on public display
the first diamond exhibit" ever attempted
in this city. Tiaras, pendants cavaliers
and precious combs all glstening with
clusters of gems make up the display, the
value OF which reaches into the hundreds
of thousands of collars.
The exhibit Is handsomely arrayed in
cases in Mr.. Edholm's store at Sixteenth
and Harvey street, to be viewed by the
public all week beginning Monday.
1t is not sale and those who visit the
diamond establishment will not be asked
Edholm explained Thursday morning that
exhibits have been in vogue in
New York and Boston as anniversary at
fractions for the last eight years. The
purpose OF such occasions has always been
to stimulate interest and an appreciation
of the wonderful pieces of jewelry work
manship that are now being placed on the
market.
The local jeweler explained that all the
best jewels and specimens OF the highest
art in jewelry can be purchased through
local firms il the latter would take the
risk OF laying the priceless articles in
stock. Heretofore. he explained. Omahans
seeking precious articles have always gone

The Regal "Plugger" Auto

nights that | ever put in driving in an

IS in charge of the famous Regal "Plug-

around-the-circle, on his arrival in
Louisville. "Fact of the matter ISL

wrong road, and had il not been for a
kindly old fellow near Seymour, Ind,
we would doubtless this moment be
doing 'swing-around-the-c on

at happened this way. When the
Regal "Plugger" pulled out of Seymour
Tor the run TO Louisville, il was about
1880 p. IN. and we did not question but
that Louisville could be reached by
1870. AS matter of fact, we entered
upon one of the most desolate sections
OF country il has been our fortune, Tor
misfortune, l should say, to cross.
Night added To our misery, and save
for the steady hum of sold faithful
the sound of our voices and the croak
OF an occasional frog, not sound was
to be heard and not a human habita-
ton was To be seen. The roads, too,
were something fierce and as for bridges,
where there was one it was generally a
poor excuse. Some were under course
of repair, hence not passable, and the
stream had TO be forded. In the case
of small streams there was nothing do
ing. Fording streams at night is not
pleasant sensation, | assure you, but in
no case did the "Plugger" fail us; the
other side was reached safely.
"Gradually it dawned upon us that
we were lost. We began TO observe the
two clippers we made out that we were
travelling in circle. Finally we came
up road leading to the left and decided
to take it. 1t proved our savior, for
hardly had we covered half mile when
a farm house was cited. 10 and behold,

Mr.. Farmer, hearing across the fields
our Jericho horn, which we blew in
the hopes some inhaDitant would hear

ger" about which he had read. He
said, too, that he realized we had got
mixed up in our whereabouts, and at
once volunteered TO direct us ON our
way.
ITO make long story short, Mr.
Farmer dressed, got aboard the "Plug-
