circuit to six cities, eliminating Rock

make a more compact organization,
greatly reducing travelling expenses, it
is argued. Rockford has already made
bid for the Springfield franchise,
and the bid was filed with President
Tearney in August. Just what dis,

TWO STAR BOUTS
BEING PLANNED
Promoters Arrange Mcfarland
Nitchie and White Richie
Matches.

Chicago, Sept. 11.-If plans set ago
ing yesterday by local boxing prOmot-
ers materialize followers of the game
in the middle west will be treated
to some top-notch cards in the near
future. One of the matches about to
be closed will present Packey McFar-
land and Young Nitchie of Philadel-
phia in the headline roles. This mill
is being doomed for Kenosha. The
other attraction Is to bring together
Willie Richie, world champion light
weight, and Charlie White, the shifty
Chicagoan.
Nate Lewis, manager of White, re-
Gently wrote Richie asking for a
match on behalf of White. In a let
ter received yesterday at Lewis head
quarters Richie announces he will
leave shortly for the east and would
gladly accommodate Charlie provided
the terms are suitable. The champ
stipulates that the weight be 1875
pound at the ringside. Whites special
ty is boxing under $50 pounds, so
the local speed boy isn't worried over
the. scaling details. Tommy Andrews,
matchmaker for the Milwaukee club,
las been asked to stage the contest.
Young Nitchie, who has fought all
the tough boys weighing from 1876 to
142 pounds, recently arrived in Chica-
go. bringing a long record from the
east, and has been training daily at a
downtown gymnasium. Harry Forbes,
who is handling the Quaker walloper,
got in touch with Emil Thirty yesterday
and the latter, who attends to the
matchmaking for Mcfarland, agreed to
sign Packey with Nitchie. Kenosha
will probably be the meeting place of
the ring warriors. Packey, who is So
journing in the east, is due home Sun
day to prepare for the coming pugilis-
It's season.
Jack Heinen' and Joe Cox, heavy
weights, are billed to clash tonight at
Aurora. In the seEi-windup Nate
Kolb and Bobby Hayes will get TO-

BACK AT TIE OLD CAMP.
Gen. Shaver. After 51 Years, Visits Camp White Sulphur Springs.

Gen. R. c. Shaver, just returned from a visit of about six weeks among friends over Arkansas, at Foreman. Camden, Pine Bluff, Little Rock and other places, had many very interesting times, having been especially honored by old comrades and others wherever he went.
 One of the places he visited was his old camp ground at Lee Springs, near Pine Bluff, in Jefferson coun- Oy. which he had not seen for fifty one years. He made this visit in company with Gen R. NJ. Knox and .o.her prominent personages of Pine BiuH. He states that he easily To- cated the spot where the headquar- ter~ was maintained, the guard house and other features of the camp. In this camp the general says were two companies from Polk county. belonging to the Nineteenth and IWenty-fOurth regiments.
 The Pine BluG Commercial, in speaking of the old Confederate leader. says:
 General Shaver was sent to Lee Springs in 1862 to recruit a bri- gade to be composed of three regi- ments and the recruiting camp was known as Camp White Sulphur Springs. The general succeeded in assembling 2.5O0 men under his command While engaged in this work the general maintained his headquarters at the residence of Dr. Bushrod Lee for whom the nearby mineral springs are named

CONTRACTORS ARE ASKING QUESTIONS
Want to Know When They Will Get Their Money in Case They Should Get Agricultural
 School Contracts.

Little Rock. June 20.-ContractOrs who desire to bid on the additional buildings which will be erected at the agricultural schools of the state. have been writing to Govern Of Futrell to ask when they will receive their money if they are successful in their efforts to land the contract.
 Governor Futrell has replied to all that as this money must be paid out of the general revenue fund, it is a mere matter of con- lecture, as this fund is an unstable quantity. He goes into the situa- ton a bit more fully, however, by analyzing the probable status of the general revenue fund for the coming year. He tells the contrac- tors that it will probably take all the money to be paid in by the county collectors at the annual set tlement to be made next month, to pay the outstanding claims against the state.
 About the same time the fran chise and corporation tax will be paid into the treasury, and this Twill be sufficient to keep the state departments going until the first of the year Unless the liquor people are able to defeat the stringent prohibition acts of the last legis- lature there will be little coming in the first of the year, so the con- tractors will have to depend upon the taxes collected next year for their payment.
 The governor is advising all con- tractors who ask that they had bet ter arrange to carry their accounts for year if they make bids upon ihp state buildinpS
