HE WANTS KILBANE.
Tom McCarey Offers Champion $780,
600 Per Year.

Los Angeles, March 21.-One of the
| biggest CANDLES ever made on pro-
fessional boxer was received when
Promoter Tom McCarey telegraphed
Johnny Kilbane, now in Cleveland, Of
fering the worlds featherweight
champion $4,000 for a two years con-
tract calling for the exclusive rights
to the services of Kilbane and his
manager, Jimmy Dunn, during this
time.
IF the proposition is accepted, I
will require that Kilbane box, not only
Abe AtteIl. but as many high class
featherweights as 1 may develop" eX-
planned the local Quensberry magnate-
In addition | would ask Johnny to
fill stage engagements and take the
principal part in several moving pic
ture acts that 1 have on hand. He
would have to keep moving pretty
lively for two years, but then $4,000
is a lot of money"
in Cleveland last Sunday probably
started McCarey thinking. He evil
IDENTIFY figures that Kilbane is to be
one of the most popular boys who ever
held title and that by keeping him
constantly before the public for two
years he could double the amount he
offers for the champions services. At
all events, McCarey must have good
'hole card" He would not make this
kind of a bet on four hearts and a
spade.
At Wo1gast's reply to the Los An
geles offer to box Joe Rivers twenty
rounds on July sounds like the ex-
plosion of a mint. He was offered
small fortune for his end on a win
lose basis, but promptly
raised the "ante" something like
$2,500.
"Wolgast's figures gave me a mind
picture of myself being dragged into
the bankruptcy court" gasped Promo
ter McCarey. This coming so soon
after Tommy Burns mild demand
for $4,000 to box Langford has given
me the shivers. I'll have to take a
walk out in the country and think
things over. 1 wonder if Rockefeller
wouldn't like to buy out my business %

ASK CLARK TO KEEP OUT
Specimen of Nerve From the DEM
Ocrats of Nebraska.

Des Moines Iowa, March 21.-Sen-
ator Thos. P. Gore, of Oklahoma, has
authorized the statement that Speak
er Champ Clark is to be asked to with
draw in favor of Woodrow Wilson
from participation in the Nebraska
presidential preferential primary.
Senator Gore said that the Nebras-
ka Progressive league, prior to the
Bryan birthday banquet adopted a
resolution calling upon the speaker
not to allow his name to go before the
voters, lin view of the rival candida
cies of woodrow Wilson and Judson
Harmon"
The resolution follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this conference that the continued
candidacy of Speaker Clark for the
preferential vote to be given the Ne
braska delegation to the Baltimore
convention, in view of the rival can
didacies of Wilson and Harmon, may
result in the success of Mr.. Harmon,
and thus endanger the cause of true
Democracy; and that, if Mr.. Clark
will withdraw his candidacy in Ne
braska, we recommend that the Ne
braslxa delegation to the national con-
vention in the event Wilson can not
be nominated, vote for Clark as its
second choice"

The case of Capt. W. A. Ceilings gives
encouragement for all sufferers from rup-
ture. The Captain suffered a double rup-
ture-a very bad one-for which he could
obtain no truss that would hold. He was
confined to his bed much of the time for
years. Physicians examined his case and
pronounced his only hope was in a mutt
1ating operation, fraught with danger to
his life. He kept experimenting upon him
self, chiefly using valuable informa ton
that he luckily obtained, and finally, to the
establishment of all, he went forth cured
of his rupture-and he remained SO.
Capt. Ceilings wonderful cure attracted
widespread attention and legions of others
who had tried various kinds of trusses, or
had even endured risky operation without
avail, adopted the method which had saved
the Captain and were themselves cured
from distressing ruptures-single, double,
navel, inguinal, femora1, scrotal, etc. Feel
ing that he ought to give all the ruptured
-everywhere-an opportunity to enjoy the
same blessing and be saved from this dis
treSsing, dangerous, life-shortening inflrIn-
1ty, the Captain decided to let his means
of self-treatment become known by send
ing a trial, free to all who asked.
You should read Capt. Ceilings interest
ing narrative and make test in your own
case. Simply cut out the coupon below,
send with your name, address, and mention
what kind of a rupture you have. To do
this will cost only a postage stamp, vet
may bring you untold joy. good health and
may add many years to your life.

Knocks Chicagoan Down for Count
Early in Fight.

Kenosha, Wis. March 21.-In ten
rounds of embarrassing fighting here.
Eddie McGoorty of Oshkosh, Wis,
outpointed Hugo Kelly of Chicago.
Under the state law, no decision was
permitted, but newspaper critics
unanimously agreed that McGoorty
had the better of the contest.
When the contest was ended Kelly
was on the verge of collapse from ex-
haustion and terrific body punches,
while McGoorty was fighting strong.
Kelly made no attempt to fight until
the battle was half over, but his ring
generalship made McGoorty miss re-
peatedly from swings to the head.
In the first round McGoorty
dropped the Chicagoan with q left
punch to the chin for the count of
nine. Thereafter McGoorty led in the
milling, using a wicked left hand
punch for his most effective blow,
while Kelley backed away and fought
cautiously.
After the fight McGoorty an
nounced that his right hand was in
jured. but that he would proceed to
San Francisco to prepare for his
contest with Frank
Klaus of Pittsburg.

The railroads in this part of the

MOTION PICTURE MUSING

In halls that well abound with sound,
In every land and strand are found,
All observant faces viewing well
The tale that motion pictures tell.
There is a sudden fading of light
A sputter from the arc so bright,
A buzz of films in motion fast,
And light upon canvas is cast
In darkness light and shadow breath
Mix, struggle well with each, and weave
All form and scene, to show in fact
The voiceless souls emotion and act.
The speech of feeling without sound,
BY action truly here is found;
With majestic silence and impress,
Then all SO grandly on US rests.
How well the actor plays his part

That seems 50 real, 70 vision shown
While it but on canvas is known.
We see the spur for distant goal
For love, for success and rare gold;
Love play and tragic phase amaze
In emotions display that we praise.
With eager eyes our thought is drawn
BY fins, that make us muse and dawn;
We dream and roam near castles shown.
In fancy, while views pass unknown.
The comedy makes us laugh in mirth,
The drama brings the sigh to birth
But when the film to us seems real
1t ends and darkness comes with zeal.
The light is gone and all but fades
No mirth, no sigh or act now jades.
All hope and scene to passing blends;
So our life's film of motion ends.

On the Wrong Tack.

As chairman of the Roosevelt cam
paign committee, Senator Dixon Of
Montana gives definite form to the
eoloneIs contest for the nomination
nv issuing an attack upon President
Taft and his administration. In this,
we believe, he is starting out on the
wrong tack. President Taft and Col
onel Roosevelt both have abjured
personalities in defining their own
plans for the nomination contest. II
they can afford to refrain from at
lacking one another, their advocates
certainly can.
One or the other, Taft or Roose-
welt, is TO be the republican nominee
for president and he win have to so
before the people on the record of
the party-the policies inaugurated
by Roosevelt and pursued further by
Taft. President Taft deserves better
at the hands Of those republicans
who do not agree with him now, and
so does former President Roosevelt.
for the country is not going to for
get that 1t took Mr.. Taft upon Mr..
Roosevelt's recommendation. Every
attack. therefore, made by Roose-
welt followers upon Taft reflects just
as much upon Roosevelt.

Gallery.PlaY Reform.

The outcome OF the cases result
ing from the sleuthing activity OF our
reform democratic sheriff is signif-
icant rs illustrating that there is a
great difference between making a
spectacular raid and presenting evil
dence In court to convict.
The undisguised purpose OF the
sheriff was to show how much more
efficiently he could enforce the law
against Illicit liquor selling and the
social evil than had the police. But
his experience is merely a repetition
OF that of the police authorities. The
police department has time and
again gone into the raiding business,
only TO have its ardor dampened by
failure to convict, or court rulings
In favor OF so-called clubs. Only in
getting the gallery applause has our
reform sheriff excelled. In the
meantime he has been careful to d.
rect his attention only to Omaha
shutting his eyes to more fragrant
violations in other parts OF the
county equally under his jurlsdic-
ton.
