already the number of manufactur-
ers of motor trucks and delivery
wagons who will definitely display
their latest models during the Sec
ond week or commercial section,
from February ) to 10, exceeds the
list at last winters show by exactly
twenty. Yet new applications for
space are being made every week,
with practically no more space to
be allotted. All space in the Coliseum
building and Coliseum Annex Was
taken long ago by forty-four manu-
facturers, and the armory, which
was not used during the second
week of last winters show, has been
divided among thirty makers.
Thirty-three Of the companies that
will show commercial cars this win
ter were not seen at Chicago last
February, and most of these are
new to the public. never having
made displays at any show. Among
the late applications for space are
nearly dozen companies whose
names are unfamiliar even to per-
sons in close touch with the trade,
so rapid is the development Of the
commercial vehicle industry.

DR.. j. A. Hielscher returned to
his home at ROlla, Mo-, last night
after visiting friends here and rela-
tives at Faribault. While waiting
for his train at the Omaha station
last night he told some interesting
stories about the Ozark mountains,
the scene of 1.-The Shepherd of the
Hills" and THE Calling of Dan
Matthews" two books written by
Harold Bell Wright He said that
the scene of these two stories was
about seventy miles from Rolla, near
Lebanon. Wright, he says. was a
Methodist minister and when his
Shepherd Of the Hills" appeared, the
people were somewhat perplexed,
but when The Calling of Dan
Matthews was published Wright
had some difficulty in getting out of
town quick enough as the enraged
people were ready to punish him
and drive him away for his cutting
criticism Of the church, as shown
in THE Calling of Dan Matthews"
The play given at the MankatO
opera house on Christmas night, al
though of the same name. was not
dramatized from the book by Mr..
Wright.
DR.. Hielscher has practiced medl-
cine in this city for many years
but was compelled to move to Rolla
for his health last spring. He mar
ried DR.. Jane Hughes of this city.

New York, December 27.-Carl Nor
ris, the Oklahoma heavyweight, and
Tom Kennedy, whose ten round bout
was set some weeks ago but post
pOned, will meet tonight. The pride
Of Sapulpa" has been training. like a
Trojan and looks fit for the fight OF
his life, and in Kennedy he will need
all the cleverness he has gained in
the past few months.
Morris was laughing stock for a
time after his fight with Jim Flynn,
but he showed on that occasion that
he was full of grit and had plenty
of endurance, and with proper han.
ding he may yet develop into the most
formidable of the white hopes Re-
Gently Morris won an easy victory
over AL Williams, the western heavy
weight, and has met and defeated
several other heavies since the Flynn
fight. If he wins over Kennedy to-
aud he may be matched with All
kaufman.
Kaufman is matched to meet AL
Palzer at the National club tomorrow
night and if he wins will take on
Fireman Flynn. Kaufman is now
coming along strong but he will have
his work cut out for him tomorrow
night.
Palzer. like Morris, is western
rube." and has advanced faster than
any other heavyweight that has ever
been before the sporting public. A
year ago Palzer was farmers boy
engaged in shucking pumpkins, herd
Ing the chickens and such jobs Oh
his fathers farm in Iowa. If Morris
should win tonight and Palzer gain
a victory tomorrow night match
between the two will probably be
forthcoming.
