Joe Rivers Gives Him Good
Beating in Twenty Rounds.
FIGHT is FIERCE AFFAIR
But Neither Boxer Scores a Knock
down-Victor Is in Much
Better Form.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, November %
Joe Mandot of New Orleans was defeated
yesterday by Joe Rivers Of Los Angeles,
over whom he had won an easy decision
less than three months ago.
1t was a clean-cut victory for the Next
can, who showed a remarkable reversal
of form, exhibiting more speed and clever
ness than he had ever shown. It was
nearly dark and the electric lights over
the ring had been lighted, when Referee
Eyton hoisted Rivers hand in token Of
victory at the close Of the twentieth
round.
1t was fierce fight throughout. At
times both threw caution to the winds in
their efforts for a knockout. The near
est thing to a knockdown was scored by
Rivers in the fifteenth round, when he al
most floored Mandot with a right and left
swing to the jaw, followed by clinches in
which he rammed both hands to the
stomach, with an occasional uppercut to
the chin.
The first round showed that Rivers was
not the same boy who fought Mandot
Labor day. He almost put the French
man through the ropes with a right to the
jaw. The second. too. was all Rivers
round.
They fought like wildcats in the third
round, Mandot doing the most damage.
The fourth round was Rivers by a
shade, he having drawn blood from Man.
dots mouth.
The fifth was Rivers round by good
margin. He bored in, landing rights and
lefts to the jaw.
In the sixth both fighters kept their
distances, Mandot landing the greater
number of blows.
In the seventh round Rivers missed
swing and fell, but maintained the Of
fensive. 1t was his round.
Following tame eighth, the ninth was
rough.
The tenth and eleventh rounds were fast
and even.
Rivers had the twelfth, thirteenth and
fourteenth, all fiercely fought. He had
Mandot at the ropes when the fourteenth
round ended.
Mandot tottered to his corner at the
end of the fifteenth.
MandOt recuperated somewhat in the
sixteenth, but remained on the defensive
in the seventeenth. Rivers hammered
Mandot in the eighteenth.
Mandot took punishment in the nine

Business continues fair in the mar
ket. Trading is on comparatively
small scale in the different types of
leaf, but sums up in the aggregate to a
considerable volume. The shade grown
and primed Connecticut are still head
ing the demand while the new Sumatra
is being tested out in sample bales. All
types of filler and binder leaf sell in
adequate quantities. The Havana mar
ket is also responding to brisk de-
mand while expectations run high as to
the outcome Of the new crops. Wheth-
er they will actually come up to the
glowing reports that have been sent in
by the Havana correspondent remains
yet to be seen.
No very great Improvement was
shown at any end of the cigar market
during the week. The nickel demand
is fair, seed lines are selling compara-
lively easily in established markets,
and gains and losses in Clear Havana
goods just about balance the March
showing. There are less Spring offer
ings of special nature than usual, a
fact which is credited to the caution
generally prevalent in presidential
year. Business is quoted as slow among
the box manufacturers and photographic
houses. The level of advance orders is
slight. Collections, however, are much
stronger, taking the country as whole.

VIRoQUA, WIS, April 10, 1912.

Starting early in the year, there has
been good activity all winter in tobacco
delivery and packing. Unfortunate it
is that there still remains on the poles
in Vernon county sheds about 500 acres
of the weed, growers being unable, for
one reason and another, to get it down.
All the dealers have tobacco thus
stranded and it is bothering them to
know just what action to take. In the
warehouses nearly everything is work
ed out and packed. The Eckhart crew
was discharged, little work being left
at Pretzfeld and Bekkedal's places, and
operations will soon cease.
Now and then string of teams
comes to town making deliveries, but
as a rule the crop is marketed.
Will Nelson, representing Spitzner &
Son of Edgerton, took in a number of
crops at La Fargo. The two most
prominent were: A. O. Anderson of
Buckeye Ridge, 81 acres at 13 and 4,
bringing $751; Paul Buraas Of the
same neighborhood, 43 acres at 12a and
4, reaching $1160. 19. 9.-Censor.

EDGERToN, WIS, April 19, 1872
A movement to gather in the rem
nants of the crop remaining unsold is
becoming more prominent. A steady
absorption is quietly going on while the
growers are in a mood to let go of their
holdings before starting another crop,
and is being moved at the most moder-
ate figures of the year. The majority
of the sales range from to cents,
even after liberal shrinkage in weight.
A short casing season the latter part
the week enabled the growers to take
down the hanging portion of the crop
in the western portion of the state in
fairly good condition and the damp may
have reached the northern counties as
well. If so, stripping can now be fin
ished and deliveries completed on for
mer contracts that are not already can
celled.
The market for old leaf continues
along line OF moderate business. The
report of the sale of several hundred
cases of northern packing of 10 leaf
reaches us, going to eastern parties.
Warehouse operations are closing
with several firms this week but few
have work in sight for some weeks yet.

The warehouses at the various tobac-

down, though some would like to con-

made. 1t looks now as if the leaf still

So far as the buying of the 1911 crops
is concerned, very little has taken place
in the past week that would alter past
reports on the situation. There are
some conflicting reports, however, on
the Pennsylvania crop. The truth seems
to be that about eighty-five per cent of
it has been bought up. The crop con-
tanned about fifty per cent of good to-
bacco, twenty-five per cent fair and an

a large portion of the undesirable,

go at less. But it is an interesting
comment upon the situation that this

FAN FADS.

AS in many other dainty feminine
accessories, it is Paris which sends us
the prett.est fans. Bewitching little
trifles they are, delicate and lovely.
One of the new ideas is to have the
fan made with flowerlike petals of
gauze or chiffon, partially covered
with tinsel or Renaissance lace. When
the materials used are flimsy enough,
and the sticks of carved ivory or
pearl, it is easy to imagine just how
pretty such fans are.
Sometimes on the feather fans you
will see the butterflies in color, clev-
erly made from the feathers and or
namenting the part just above the
sticks. And sometimes the butterflies
are replaced by small rose buds in
shell-pink, or festoons of chenille in
round balls.
Very handsome are the fans of chif-
fon cloh, with hand-painted decora-
tons. There are pastoral scenes in
color, and they remind us of the
beautiful old French fans of long
ago. Frequently these have sticks of
lustroube mother-of-pearl, a fitting
finish to the gauze like tops.

SONGS IN A GARDEN.

White roseleaves in my hands,
l toss you all away;
The winds shall blow you through
the world
To seek my wedding day.
Or East you go, or West you go
And fall on land or sea,
Find the one that l love best
And bring him here to me.
And if he finds me spinning
'Tis short I'll break the thread;
And if he finds me dancing
I'll dance with him instead;
If he minds me at the Mass
(Ah, let this not be,
Lest / forget my sweetest saint
The while he kneels by me.)
My lilies are like nuns in white
That guard me well all day.
But the red, red rose that near them
grows
Is wiser far than they.
Oh, red rose, wise rose,
Keep my secret we'll;
1 kiss you twice, 1 kiss you thrice
To pray you not to tell.
My lilies sleep beneath the moon
But wide awake are you,
And you have heard certain word
And seen a dream come true.
oh, red rose wise rose,
Silence for my sake,
Nor drop tonight a petal light
Lest my white lilies wake.
