STEADY AND PERSISTENT EFF. FORT BRINGS CONTENDER
 INTO THE CONTEST.
HAS A SPLENDID LEAD TO-DAY
Active Work Has Characterised the Voting Contest Since the Passing of the Holiday season-AlI
 Have Done Well.

When 1t was predicted a few days ago that theoperiod following the passing of the new year would likely see some new contenders in the Sen tinel-Kecord's big voting contest, if not 0ew leader in the vote stand ing, it was hardly anticipated that the change in the situation would come so soon. But it has. There is new leader in the contest today Look at the vote standing in another column.
 The passing of the old year and the splendid business prospects of the new year, has proven a source of satisfaction to all the contestants All have found that subscriptions are easier to secuse now than during the period before January l. As a mat ter of fact the number of new sub scriptions turned in by the contest ants during the past two days has been almost double that of any like period during the contest. The con testants have also established their claims to support before the public and the people are responding in splendid style. During the past two or three days nearly every contest ant has received voluntary votes from friends who either called or sent their subscriptions to the office, together with the name of their favorite candi- date. From this time forward the contestants can expect a great deal of this voluntary aid. but it is advis- able for them to prosecute their cam paign for votes as rapidly as possible. There are hundreds and thousands in the city who have not yet been sol icited and the contestant who calls on them first will likely secure their support and subscription.
 From TOW until the close of the contest on January 15, the race prom ises to be a pretty one. There even promises to be one or two new and rather dangerous competitors within the next few days, and with several striving for the prizes on about even footing the contest promises to de- velope some real interesting features.
 The increase in the percentage of cash to be paid in prizes has also stimulated the workers and they are putting in their best work to gel d comfortable lead for the home stretch of the contest.
 Everybody is invited to call at the furniture store of A. c. Rhodes X Son. sos Central avenue, and inspect both the piano and writing desk, the grand prize, and the second prize (the winner of this also receiving her proportion of cash winnings) The piano is one of the finest ever brought to the city, and the writing desk IS also handsome and desirable piece of furniture.
 Keep your eye on the vote stand ing every day now. If your favorite is running behind, lend her your aid and support to place her in the lead again

TRAIN CRUSRES
 THROUGH BRIDGE
SEVEN KILLED AND SEVERAL OTHERS BELIEVED TO HAVE
 LOST THEIR LIVES.

Huntington, w. Va, Jan. 1--Seven men were killed and the lives of sey- eral others are believed to have been peake X Ohio railroad freight train crashed through weakened bridge across Gnyandotte river, at Guyan- dotte, q suburb near this city The known dead are:

 Upwards of a dozen men were in- jured.
 A crew of thirty or more iron workers were employed installing a double track across the bridge when the freight train approached. A few left their posts, it is said, believing the bridge unsafe.
 When the train was near the cen ter of the structure the bridge crumbled The heavy train crashed into the water and the bridge debris covered the train wreckage.
 Members of the train crew and iron workers not caught beneath the struggled through the wa ter to shore.
 The engine, one of the largest types, probably will have to be re- moved from the water before pro gress can be made in recovering bodies.
 The accident is believed to have been caused by water undermining the piling that had been put in at low water stage heavy rise in the river had caused considerable JOSS during the past several days but the railroad officials felt confident that the bridge was safe. A passen- ger train had passed over the bridge a few moments before it gave way under the weight of the freight train.
 A rigid investigation is underway both by the civil authorities and off cials of the railroad

COWBOY HEAVYWEIGHT MAKES EASY WORK OF DisPosINc OF
 GIANT AL PLAYER.
WAS A ONE SIDED FIGHT
Gigantic Pazer Was at the Mercy of His Lighter Opponent All Trough -Mccarty Quits Ring With
 Barely a Mark.

Los Angeles, Jan. 1.--IMther Me- Carty of Springfield, Mo. shattered tIhe heavyweight championship ambi- tions of Al Palzer, the Iowa giant, at the Vernon arena today For nearly eighteen rounds he ased the huge frame of the lowan as a punch ing bag.
 The middle of the eighteenth round found Palzer staggering blIndly about under a volly of lefts to his battered face and when Referee Charles Fly ton hoisted the right hand Of the smiling cowboy pugiiist the decision was received with cheers.
 McCarty's victory after his decis. i've defeat three weeks ago of Jim Flynn, places him at the top of the list Of white heavyweights
 McCarty has announced and reiter- ated the statement today that he never would figlht q negro.
 Palzer, in spite of his superior height. weight and reacn, was no match for the cool-headed agile youngstsr He literally stumbled through the fight assimilatIng awful punishment His rushes were who'll ly ineffective. He landed very few clean blows throughout the fight
 palzer began the fight with m ag- gressiyeness that. indicated q desire to finish his man in short order, but McCarty had little difficulty in elud- ing him.
 Only once Palzer appeared to have an advantage. ln one Of the early rounds McCarty slipped to the mat and Palzer rushed in, launching q right upper-cut to catch the rising man but Mccarty ducked out of dan- ger.
 McCarty fought ceverly through out, taking his time and beating down his man systematically He seldom wasted blow and hit with deadly precision Palzer had practically 10 defense against the Missourians whiplike left. delivered straight from the shoulder and seldom was he able to block the right swing or upper cut which invariably followed a ser ies Of straight lefts.
 McCarty landed with an accuracy that became monotonous. Paizer's eyes were kept almost continually on his manager, the veteran Tom O'Ronrke who shouted instructions to him through megaphone. He ape peared to have no initiative whateyer- URourle's instructions were as audi ble to McCarty as to Palzer and every move of the lowan was anticipated by his foe.
 Palzer's face was badly distigued and he showed the effects of his heal- ing evsn more than did McCarty's last victim, the veteran Flynn. In the eighteenth round Palzer walked unsteadily to the centre of the ring and literally fell into 9 left hook that dazad him. He cluag 70 McCarty's shoulders and when they separated McCarty shot two lefts 70 the jaw. McCarty, apparently NnwiIl' ing to administer the finishing punch, backed away and the Referee stopped the fight. AfcCartys only mark was slight cut under the right eye

fell to the ground and lay like one

We desire to call the attention Of
our advertisers who are somewhat in
clined to the belief that our prices
for advertising are too high to the
following facts, which were shown
at the last editorial convention. At
this convention it determined that
the cost of producing advertising in
country newspapers was from IA
to IS cents per column inch. This
fact was brought out by a committee
of the best country newspaper men
in the state appointed for the purpose
of discriminating the cost of advertise
ing space at the convention a year
previous. The most careful and ex-
haustive study was made by the COM
mittee and the result was arrived at
by the application of the best and
most scientific cost systems and must
be accepted as fairly accurate. From
this it is apparent at once that most
country newspapers are selling their
advertising space at cost or less, and
that if they are making any money
it must be on some other branch of
their business. In the past it has
been the custom of the country pap
ers to take advertising for any old
price, but the majority of papers are
now getting away from this system
and are basing the price of advertis-
ing on the cost system. No business
man would think Of doing business
unless he could get a reasonable
profit, and a newspaper Is in the same
category with any other business,
and should be so considered.-Thief
