~ ATTLING NELSON, conquer
n or of Joe Cans, Abe AtteIl
Jimmy Britt, Young Corbett,
Eddie Hanlon and something ike
3 hundred other aspiring light
weights. will battle ten rounds to-
night at the Auditorium Armory
with Frank Whitney
In all Atlanta's ring history such
a card was never before offered
the Queensberry fans.
Bat Nelson was, and is in many
ways the greatest man who ever
wore the lightweight crown. As
a ring warrior-a man to give and
take blows-his equal was never
seen before in the 53 pound divi-
sion. He is not q fancy boxer.
But for downright smuggling ability.
for gameness and for willingness
to swap punch for punch, there
was never such one before
and may never be again.
No man in the lightweight divi-
sion has ever held a place in the
public estimation such as is re-
served for Battling Nelson. To few
men in any class has it been given
to win and hold the regard of the
American people. John l.. Sullivan
was another such, and Jim Jeffries
(before he made a fool of HIMSELF
and Bob Fitzsimmous. You can
pillow through the ring records from
end 10 end without finding a name
10 place along with those four. For
they were fighters fighters from
the heart And the greatest of
them all Is Nelson.

THE scrap tonight has its direct
bearing on the lightweight
championship. All Nelson has to do
IS to win it--and win il by good
margin-to get chance in the
lightweight elimination contests
Once in, he has a corking chance
TO battle his way back to the cham
pionship.
Nelson believes in his heart that
he is as good today as he ever was
that he has all his old stamina
and punch. And this belief Is not
without good foundation. Nelson
has won bout after bout for months
and months--ever since his hands
came around right. He has met
good lightweights, fair welter-
weights and cannibals. And he has
triumphed over them all Right
today he is as sound and as tough
and as husky lightweight al ever
lived.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN
 HOLD LIVELY MEETING

The City Board of Aldermen met at the City Hall last night With Mayor R, P. Hamby presid, Ing, Dr. J. R. York as recorder and the following aldermen, Ar, mold, Blakely, Davis, Doris. Gee and Hesterly. A petition from the Farmers Union asking that the alley across block 26 to be opened was referred to the Street Committee with instructions. The bills for the last month were approved and ordered paid. Fire Chief Murrah filed his re- port showing the number of fire S occurring during January and February.
 The question as to whether or not R. B. Hamilton, who was elected to the office of Marshal. could hold that office and at the same time serve as Street Com missioner, being raised, the May or announced that he would sign no warrants for the salary of an officer who holds two positions, giving as his reason that the law does not permit it. Thereupon announcements were made that although Mr. Hamilton had been elected Marshal that he had ne. yer qualified as such, had never taken the oath of office and had never given the bond required by
 aw. The Mayor then declared the office of City Marshal vacant and the matter of electing Mar Shal for the City of Prescott was uelefreu unUll the next meeting of the Board of Aldermen. At the meeting in February Mr. Hamilton was elected Street Commissioner at a salary of $60 per month. It was proposed by members of the board that the salary of City Marshal be in- creased from S5 per month to $65 per month and that an election be called for the purpose of SC. lecting City Marshal; this, how ever, was deferred until the next meeting which will be on Marck 17th.

WHY NOT GET
 A GUARANTEE
Every Article of Merit that is Sold These Days is Guaranteed-NO Guarantee
 Often Means Poor Quality.

There is little excuse for any person to claim that he has been "stung" on a purchase. Fifty years ago the buyer had to look out, but today it is unusual to find the merchant who will not return the money for any article that has proved unsatisfactory.
 An excellent example of this kind of fair dealing is shown by the clean cut guarantee that Hes terly Drug Store gives on bod sons Liver Tone.
 These people tell us that any person who pays soc for a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone and does hot find it a gentle and most pleasant liver tonic, armless, but sure reliever of constipa- tion and perfect substitute for calomel, can get his money back inst as quick as they can get it out of the money drawer.
 Dodson's Liver Tone has prac- tically taken the place of calomel. It is absolutely hal mless, sure in it's action and causes no restric ton of habit or diet. No wonder the drug people are glad to guar antee it, while other remedies that initiate the claims of Dod- son s Liver Tone are not guaran- teed at all. Advt.

LEVY FOR
GEARY COUNTY ROADS

Junction City, Aug. 6.-Splendid
roads for Geary county we're made a
icertatnty yesterdayewhen the county
commissioners fixed the lew for a
county road fund at one mill, the
maximum under the state law. 1t
is estimated that over $4,000 will
be derived from this fund for use
on the county roads, and the fund
from the state automobile and mo-
torcycle license tags will swell it to
close to $4,000. This money. which
will be available after November l..
will be spent on fixing up the five
county roads designated by the
county commissioners in July.
One of these roads is the Golden
Belt route from the south line of
the Fort Riley reservation to the
Dickinson county line. The, other
four county roads ali connect trad
ing points, radiating from Junction
City to smaller towns IN this and
adjoining counties.

Kansas COnvIcts Arc Immersed BY
the Preacher-Warien.

Leavenworth, Aug. 6.-Warden
J. d. Botkin OF the state prison Is
baptizing convicts In tank In the
prison laundry. and since the first
immersion OF thirty, about a week
ago, an unusually large number OF
men and women prisoners have con-
veyed to the preacher-warden their
desire to be converted. The warden
declares his intention OF baptizing
every prisoner in the institution,
and he is firmly OF the opinion that
by SO doing he will to no little ex-
tent correct the ways of sinners.
Whether the prisoners really have
been persuaded to profess religion
by the new warden, or they simply
are DESTROYS OF being ducked into
cold water these hot days, luxury
to which they are not accustomed
in the prison. is a matter OF con-
lecture, but there are many old
guards who have opinions Of their
own.
Warden Botkin also is holding
Sunday school under the spreading
trees of the prison enclosure. This
is something which never before
had been done by a. Kansas warden.

CLAY COUNTY POSTPONES
ITS FAIR FOR A YEAR

Clay Center, Aug. 6.-There was
a meeting of the directors of the
Clay County Fair association at the
office of Secretary ]. w. Nordstrom
Monday afternoon. 1t was found
that when the time limit was up the
races had not filled, and the i'm
portant action of the meeting was
the calling off of the fair for this
season. II it should rain soon and
things liven up a bit it is very prob
able that there will be one or two
days entertainment of some sort, a
racing meet perhaps. This matter
was left to the executive committee
and the committee representing the
citizens of Clay Center and they
will use their best judgment when
the time comes to decide.
1t will be generally conceded that
to attempt to hold regular fair
under the prevailing conditions
would be futile, hut in order to
keep up the interest, IL things are
at all favorable, little something
in the line suggested might be ad-
visable

CLAIM DUCK LAW is
CLASS LEGISLATION

Atchison, Aug. 5.-Duck hunters
who believe that fall shooting ought
to be permitted on the Missouri riv-
er will have an opportunity to be
heard at a meeting in Omaha We'd
nesday, DR.. 7. s. Palmer, acting
chief of the biological department,
has informed local sportsmen. 1t
was the plan of the government to
prohibit fall shooting on the Mis-
souri, river and on all government
land along the Missouri river for
all time to come. Claiming such a
law is unfair several Atchison hunt
ers will go to Omaha and file OBJ
jections, and others will send writ
ten, protests.
The proposed law would have the
effect of class legislation, the sports
men claim. Rich men can afford
to lease large lakes as hunting pre-
serves, but the only good hunting
grounds available to shooters OF
moderate mGp~S are the rivers.
Sportsmen from four states, Mis-
souri,, Kansas. Iowa and Nebraska,
will attend the meeting.

New state Law flinders tho Bond
Issue.

Herington, Aug. 2.--The Benham
Engineering company has submitted
report to the city council on avail
able water supplies for Harrington.
w. T. Benham read the report TO
the mayor and council at q special
meeting Thursday night. The com
panys engineers have Investigated
every available source OF water sup
ply and have prepared estimates
which show that for a, cost of $685.
900 the city can go 10 miles out
and obtain supply OF nearly 4OO,-
600 gallons daily; or can add lit
tie more than $4,000 to that and
get flow OF 100000. gallons day.
Frank A. Green, city attorney,
says, however, that a new Kansas
law limits the debt making power
of a city of the second class to Id
per cent of It's assessed valuation.
That means that after counting out
the city's present debt only $4,000
Of the bonds can be issued for water
works improvements at the present
time.
BY waiting till November when
the 1913 valuation can be used as
basis, the amount of bonds that
can be issued may be raised to
100000.
What the officials will do will de-
pend upon a report which the city
attorney makes to the mayor and
council after his conference with
the attorney general and the public
utilities commission as to what
power the city may exercise in such
an emergency in order to obtain a
supply of water.

MANY CATTLE ARE BEING
SHIPPED TO KANSAS CITY

Kansas City, Aug. 5,-Once more
hot weather has disturbed the cat
tlemen of Kansas, parts OF Okla
homa and Missouri. Yesterday
Kansas City received 10000 cattle,
nearly as many as the combined sup
ply at the other four western mar
kets and we'll up. to the record run
on the Kansas City market. The
worst feature is that the movement
has just begun and will not be
checked until all the cattle have
been shipped or general rains turn
dead pastures into growing grass.
The movement is starting from
Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri,
with Iowa, Illinois and states east
of there going dry and falling out
of the buying side. Price deprecia-
ton is inevitable, and the loss that
shippers will suffer on account of
weather conditions will extend into
millions of dollars.

Topeka, Aug. attorney Gen

igable rivers to pay the state a roy

Royalties in the general revenue
fund instead of a special fund.
Twelve sand companies paid under
protest, and they are also made de-

GOVERNOR May
CALL LEGISLATURE
gants q Compulsory Grain InsPec-
ton Law.
GRAIN TROUBLE WITH WICHITA
And Then There Is the Kansas Nat
ura Gas Question to BE Con-
Sideredh-HOdges Won't
Say.

Topeka, Aug. Close triends
of Governor Hodges believe that
the Kansas executive is planning 10
call a special session OF the legis-
lature. In fact the governor mas
in the last few days admitted that
II he could secure q compulsory
grain inspection law and legislation
that would would not deem a spec
ial session at all impractical.
When the 1913 legislature ad-
tourned II beat the compulsory grain
,uaDection law In the closing hours
The defeat of that bill was one OF
the big disappointments of the ses-
sion to the governor. Now George
n Ross, the new head OF the grain
inspection department Is in vienna
trying to make peace with the Kan
aas millers and to secure a compro-
mise which will call for voluntary
inspection of grain by the state de-
partment. II he succeeds, theh
Governor Hodges will probably aban-
dom his plans for a special session.
Ross has already threatened them
with a special session of the legis-
lature and 1t is claimed that Gov
ernor Hodges in degree authorized
the threat.
''Possibly Ross is just bluffing,
said the governor, when asked about
the Ross threat. 81 haven't anything
to say about the matter now. may
make a statement in few days."
But the grain inspection matter
isn't the only thing. Gov. Hodges
wants the Kansas Natural to furnish
Kansas towns with gas this winter.
In the last few days the governor
has held several conferences with
Henderson Martin, chairman OF the
public utilities commission, and with
Attorney General Dawson. Posi-
bIIities of a special session are said
to have been discussed at these con-
ferences.
This week Senator Harry McMil-
Ian of ottawa county urged special
session to aid the farmers in west
ern Kansas because of the short
crops in certain localities. When
told of the McMillan plan, though,
Governor Hodges merely stated that
he didn't believe there was suffi-
Gent distress to warrant a special
session.
