MALLIFFE TELLS WHY
MODERN FIGHTERS FAIL

Ann is. The fighter is beaten to-
night. his conqueror loses tomorrow

and is trimmed by the hrst-men-

OF form.
When I retired from the ring and
gave Kid Lavigne my belt Cor. rath-

boy In my division drew breath. In
the old Morton house said:
George. what you lack is that first
prlnciple-the art of self-defense."
He laughed. A few nights later he
went to Philadelphia, met q strong
youth who tired him early, and La
vigne had to scramble through the
best he knew how. II he had known
self-defense II would have been dif-
ferent That little falling cost La

DETER MAHER was another case.

He wasn't. but he never knew
really how to defend himself. I Sec

the ring for q minute
Peter took my tip. II had been
such a fast night that Godfrey was
glad 10 ease up. and at the same
time wondered what was the matter
with Maher. When Maher returned
TO his corner he smiled and said:
"Betabers. Jack. I feel like a new
man"
In the NTH round Maher knocked
Godfrey out. That staliinG brought
what the old school taught. for no
man was ever defeated when he had
his head with him.
Years ago. when champion was
defeated he retired and no money
could induce him 20 return to the
ring. II wasn't commercial busi-

champion wants another whack the

simply for the money, It's a terrible
thing TO see q real rood man de-
feated. for his humiliation IL pitiful

tives of money, and the wonder is
what becomes of it all Sooner or
later much of it falls into the hands
of a few men, such as Carnegie,
Rockefeller and Morgan, but it does
not remain with them long, for they
turn it back to the people for rail-
roads, oil lands or United States
securities. Much of it, however, dis
appears and is never heard of more.
The government stands ready to re-
deem it when it is presented, but
great deal of it is never presented. 1t

ment for loans made to it disappear.
OF the bonds issued prior to 1861
more than S15O,OOO has never been

on these bonds ceased more than half
a century ago, and if they were in
existence they would have found their
way to the treasury long ere this.

purposes prefer paper money to coin,

quicker and is more easily destroyed

it can be identified the government
redeems it, but each year there is

The fire department reached the
scene promptly and there was ap-
parently a strong head of water.
The fire boys and others worked val
iantly and with will, and although
there was strong wind blowing
from the north, they succeeded in
holding the fire to the garage build
ing. 1t seemed at times as though
surely go. Brandt's garage, Young's
blacksmith shop and Mrs. Perkins
residence were directly south, the
latter being more in the line of the
fire, but by the constant and effect
i've use of water, by the fire hose and
small hose they were saved. Farrier's
and Hammers shops one on the east
the other on the west, were also en-
dangered. Two or three lots interven-
ed, however, between these buildings
and the garage, otherwise they might
have been destroyed. The stock and
building had a valueation of about
S5, 900, with about 81, 300 insurance
which was taken a short time ago.
There were seven automobiles des-
troyed in the fire. Harry had two,
his father one, the Burroughs Bros.
two, Henry Oveholser and Mickey
had their machines there. With the
exception of one or two they were

Harry Burkholder was terribly
burned. The exploding gasoline
struck him full on the front of the

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local app p.ications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucuous
lining of the Eustacfian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, 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 con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

DISASTROUS FIRE

The destruction of the Burkholder
auto garage by fire yesterday after
noon was most unfortunate affair
as it resulted in the death of the
proprietor, Harry Burkholder, who
passed away at about ten O'Clock last
night from the terrible burning he
received in the fire.
d. B. Hill and a man named Fisk,
who had just driven in from Logan,
went to the garage to have a tire re-
paired, Harry undertook to fix the
tire and was preparing the vulcanizer
for that purpose, as the gasoline
flame did not work satisfactorily,
Harry made the remark that they
would put on the wind and then it
would come all right. He asked
Victor Micky, who was there fixing
his own car, to turn on the wind
Mickey turned on the wind from a
pressure tank few feet away and
the blast exploded the gasoline tank
on the vulcanizer. Harry was cover
ed with oil from the tank and the
gasoline vapor instantly ignited
enveloping his entire body in a flame.
Cross, Harry's helper, with Hill and
Mickey ran to his assistance but he
eluded them. Crazed with the fire
he darted up the stairs but when
about half way up turned and came
down, he was endeavoring to inter
the office when the other boys grabb-
ed him threw him down and ex-
tinguished flames, they carried him
out; Hill rushed to his auto, which
Fisk had pushed out, and got rain
coat in which Harrie was wrapped
and taken to Sam Woods a short
distance away. A physician was called
and did what he could to relieve the
suffering of the unfortunate victim.
In the meantime the fire ragged
with fury. The building had been
used as a garage, blacksmith and
machine shop for many years it
was oil soaked and contained much
combustible material. Had it not
been for the unfortunate plight of
Harry the fire might have been con-
quered, but those present gave their
entire attention to him, by the time
the alarm was turned in, the entire
