RY LEEE THOMPSON

New York, September 30.-(Special.)-I am reluctantly compelled to admit that Carl Morris is not at this time real white hope and yet as badly as the big Oklahoman was beaten up by Jim Flynn the other night, and pitiabe as the exhibition was, Morris showed at tributes, which, developed under proper handling, may yet make him a factor in the heavyweight class.
 He showed the possession of qualities without which no man may hope to be- come q champion. He showed that he could give and take punishment. that he had the real never -give-up brand of cour- age that no matter how hard he was being punished. he was willing to wade in and take more, and that he was a hard man to put out
 I maintain that any man of Morris size who has these qualities is man of possibilities. He lacks speed and does not know how to handle himself, but un- der proper training these defects may be overcome and Morris may yet figure in the big game.
 I note that Flynn now hopes to get on match with Johnson and if the black champion comes back Ito this coun- try, as is possible l fail to see why he should not give the Pueblo foreman a fight. Flynn, from all l can hear is at least as good match for Johnson as is Bombardiei Wells. He showed in his fight with Morris that he can fight. I hardly think he would have any chance with the big black, but then who has?
 | If is said on good authority here that after Jack Johnson has disposed of Bonn bardier Wells in London on October ? he will make a bee line for this coun- try instead of sailing direct to Austra- la Johnson has been keeping his plans quiet but it leaked out that he would be | in Chicago on October 15 to attend to l private business. Johnson's contract with 1 Hugh Mcintosh to take part in three fights in Australia does not begin to run until october 31. and it was said yes terday on good authority that L'F Ar thur has cabed to Mcintosh asking for l either a release or an extension of time

 Packey Mcfarland will probably meet the winner of the Wells-Johnson bout, which will take place at the Madison Square Garden. The little Enslishman says he would like nothing better than a chance at Mcfarland, and says he will try his utmost to gain clean cut de- cision over the American champion.
 Packey has nothing on at present because of the calling off-at least temporarily-of
 the bout with Ad Wolgast, which vas supposed to have been fought before the
 Badger Athletic club of Milwaukee last
 Friday night.
 Billy Gibson, the manager of the air
 mont Athletic club, has signed tip the
 stock yards boy for three bouts, and he
 realizes that one of the best contests for
 him would be against the winner of the
 combat conducted by the Madison Square club. Attell has often expressed de- sire to meet Mcfarland. He thinks no Is as clever If not cleverer than the Chicago boy. Also he is of the opinion that his punch is stiffer than Packey's. A match between the winner of this
 bout and Mcfarland will draw a house of thousands of dollars.
 Abe Attel featherweight champion, is
 ready to meet Johnny Kibane, his fore
 most rival, according to his manager, John
 J. Reialer. but the fight must be in New
 York city.
 T never heard much of Kilbane un- til he knocked Rivers out" said Res- Ter.
 Reisler's demand that Kilbane meet At tell in New York indicates he knows the Cleveland fighter pretty well. There would
 be no chance of Attel losing his title in q fight here. Fights in New York are limited to 10 rounds, and no decisions are given.
 "Attell's arm, injured last winter in Cleveland. is well again. said Reisler,

reasonable. It was said that Johnson and Langford both had received offers from the garden to box on d percentage, bug that no guarantee would be hung up. There is no such rivalry between these men that the promoters believe they should be satisfied to let their share of the money depend wholly upon their drawing power. Langford and Jeannette boxed to s16,350 and put up sensational bout For that reason it is thought that Johnson-Langford affair would draw at least $35,000.
 Jeanette also wants crack at John son. It is understood that Johnson will agree to take part in three bouts here for s50, ,000 and that If he can make such terms he will cancel OF postpone his trip to Australia. Johnson, it is said, can get S9o,c00 for three. tights of 20 rounds each with Jack Lester, Bill Lang and an unknown. supposed to be Langford, in Sydney, New South Wales, but from all accounts the big champion has been urged by his wife and mother to return to Chi cago and abandon the long trip. As there is nothing to prevent Johnson from box ing Langford here, it is possible that the big match will be clinched without .nuch friction. that is if both really feel anXi- ous to settle their much discussed differ ences.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be Destroy

THE announcement that between 1000
and $500 names of voters have been
signed TO the petitions TO be presented TO
the County Court next Monday praying
that saloon license for Jefferson county
be rejected shows how strong the tenn
perance sentiment is in this section. The
combined vote for Brown and Sturgiss
for Congress in the county last fall was
2,S59-and 1.-THE petitioners shall approx
innate $500, as it is hoped they will when
all the petitions are in, the overwhelming
preponderance of public sentiment proves
itself. II is not only in numbers, how
ever, that the temperance sentiment is
manifested-much more is il in the char
acter of the petitioners - who include
the largest taxpayers and the most sub
stantial and influential citizenship of Our
county-the very backbone OF our COM
munity. Business and professional men
and farmers are the earnest advocates OF
no license and the very bone and sinew
of our county are pressing the cause.
Thatfive-sixths Of the voters of the county
want the saloons abolished is no exag-
geration, we think, and not within our
recollection has any public movement had
such nearly unanimous support. When
to these lists are added the names of
1000 good women of the county, there
can be no question as to the preponder-
ance of public sentiment.
We know that the members of our
County Court will give fair consideration
to the cause TO be presented 10 them next
Monday. We earnestly hope that they
may conclude that their duty lies in grant
ing the earnest request of the great body
OF men and women whose petitions will
be placed before them.
