RESOLUTIONS OF CHEER AND
GOOD WILL.

GOOD WILL.
We, the undersigned feel that we
ought to say and do something to
cheer our friend, Hon. Thos. E. Wat
son, who has done and is still doing
so much for the upbuilding of the
people in trying to have the many
reforms SO much needed, enacted
into laws; believing as we do that
the principles he advocates are Just
and fair, therefore, we believe the
people whose battles he has been
fighting for 10 these many years,
owe him a debt of gratitude for his
untiring and able efforts in their be-
half
His teachings have not only been
educational, but they have been in
spring. and those that have failed to
appreciate them, have been either
lacking in knowledge or blinded by
prejudice.
Mr.. Watson has given the best
part of his life to the interest of the
people, and we do think that there
should be something done by the
people to show in some degree their
appreciation of the many sacrifices
AAC lids L4cOC LII DCudlI Ol LASIA.
We believe the Protestant denomi-
nation throughout the land, are due
him very great debt of gratitude
for the fearless, able and unselfish
fight he has, and is still making
against the Roman Catholic reli-
gion.
In view of the foregoing facts, we
deem it but proper that we should
show Mr.. Watson that his friends
appreciate the work he is doing and
are willing and ready to assist him
in his efforts. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That We will do all in
our power to assist Mr. Watson in
his work and aid him in any way we
can to carry into perfection the
plans he has layed out.
Resolved, That we pledge our
support to him by subscribing to
his publications and getting others
to subscribe, thereby spreading the
doctrine that should be and is bene-
fetal to the people
Resolved, further that we believe
it to be the duty Of every Protestant
throughout the lana to subscribe to
Mr. Watson's publications and help

TOMMY MURPHY
WHIPPED JOE BEDELL

New York, Jan. Tin whirlwind
bout Of ten rounds at the Royale Ath-
letic club, Brooklyn. last night Tommy
Murphy Of Flatbush outpointed Joe
Bedell OF Williamsburg by q small mar
gin. Murphy gained the honors early
n the session and though Bedell fought
with the courage OF despair in the
closing rounds he was unable to over
come the early advantages OF his ad-
versarv. II.
Il was hard battle. Murphy cut
Bedell's left eye in the first chapter
and this proved to be a serious handi-
cap to Bedell. In the fourth Murphy
with succession Of rights and lefts
to the face sent Bedell Keeling around
the ring. Bedell was trembling on
the verge Of defeat, but Murphy was
unable to follow up his advantage.
This gave Bedell breathing spell and
by hanging on he was able to weather
the storm.
The biggest crowd that has attended
a bout held under the auspices Of the
Rovale saw the match. Every nook
and corner OF the big Clerm0nt rink
held a boxing fan.
Murphy and Bedell weighed in at
less than 1874 pounds at 6 o'clock.

BETTER CROWD
AT HORSE SALE

Stock Yards, Chicago, Jan. 17.-A
better crowd attended the auction sale
of horses Tuesday and several of thu,
large eastern buyers were included
among them. While trading was more
active than yesterday the fact that a
large percentage Of the horses offered
were medium and inferior stock had d
tendency to restrict purchasers, as
practically all Of the buyers were look
ing for the better classes Eastern buy
ers In particular wanted the choice
drafters but the feeling for this kind
was not as firm as that for the best
farm chunks. Prices for the genera!
run Of stock while about steady with
yesterday were off some from last
week; and the liberal quantity OF poor
horses among the arrivals had ten
dency to make the market appear
easier. The offerings were not large,
in fact, show big decrease from a
year ago, which is due to large ex-
tent to the fact that the railroads
throughout the country are tied up by
the cold weather.
Private sales were slow and the feel
ing here was steady. Receipts for two
days this week, including yesterdays
estimate Of 200, are 7o7. which com.
pares with 995 for two days last week
and 1862 for the same period last year

Manager Ned wanted to give the Teu-

nibal answer to the proposition Is that
Ned has no chance Of getting two
players for one, but the directors OF
the Mizoo club are considering giving
the Ottumwa boss one man for the
Dutchman.
The endorsement OF the Ottumwa

that there was q chance OF no baseball
