AN0BLEMAN
Paul Match, Prisoner at County
Jail Declares He Has Blue
Blood,

From Mondays Daily.
Blue blood, according to his own
story courses through the veins of
Paul Match, prisoner at the county
jail under Indictment for obtaining
money under false pretenses. That
he is a count and the head of dis
tinguished family in his native pro-
vince in Austria is the claim of Ma
itch. He has RECALLED his fellow pris-
oners and the deputy sheriffs with
tales of his one-time splendor and his
contention that he is of noble birth has
made a profound impression upon his
fellow prisoners.
However blue may be the blood that
courses through the veins of Match
he must stand trial on a charge of
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. He confesses the shock to his
dignity is considerable and frankly
states he does not understand the
ways of America, but declares also
that he is heir to a title and a con-
siderable piece Of change in Austria.
Match borrowed sos from Paul
Maras, one of the best known Slo-
venians on the range, on the strength,
Maras says of his statement that he
was heir to a fortune. Another coun-
tryman alleges that he was bilked out
of a large sum by Count Match
Match will explain his noble lineage
and his hopes for financial aid al
the trial. The charge against him
will be defended by Attorney w. j
Archer. ~.

Early in July.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The city council and the water and
light commission, meeting as a COM
mittee of the whole last night, reached
a tentative decision to make effective
July / reduction in the rates of
water service from the municipal
plant of the city of Virginia.
While the working out Of the detail
will require some time, last nights
went into the situation quite thorough
meeting of the council and commission
ly and practically decided that a re-
duction can be made by July which
will be more satisfactory to consum-
ers, and consistent with good business
in the conduct of the plant.
The rates now in force produce prac-
tically the same revenue as those in
force when the plant was purchased,
but have been equalized on a basis
contemplating the cost of fixtures in
stalled so that in some cases the rates
of the larger consumers have been
raised while those of the smaller con-
sumers have been lowered.

Congressman Clarence B. Miller
was Virginia visitor last night and
this morning, leaving at noon today
for Duluth. He leaves the Head Of the
Lakes for Washington tomorrow and
does not expect to return to the Eigh-
tn district again for about month.
Mr.. Miller came to the range yes
terday and spent the afternoon at
Hibbing coming to Virginia last even
ing, where he was a guest at the Fay
hotel until noon today. His visit was
unheralded and during his stay here
he met only few old time friends.
Mr.. Miller declared his present visit
to the range was without political
significance and was non-committal
as to whether or not he would be a
candidate for reelection.
my present visit is to look afte,
some business matters" said Mr..
Miller, land I am not prepared to
announce my candidacy. I expect to
return to Washington tomorrow. My
committee work will keep me fully
occupied for another month. I have
not interested myself to any extent in
the situation in the district but shall
pay some attention to it shortly.
"The Eighth district of Minnesota
is one of the biggest jobs for con-
gresham in Washington. It has in
terests as widely diversified as those
Of any district in the United States
and there is plenty Of work for one

gresham is more than ever today a

Of information covering wide field
and if he serves his constituency we'll
he must do as much work as two aver
age business men are required to &C.
complish.
"Land office matters from the
i Eighth district are big matter
alone" Mr.. Miller says there is a
growing sentiment in Washington for
intervention in Mexico. 1t has not
yet taken form, but the belief is be-
coming more general that interven-
ton in some form will soon be found
necessary.

points in maze of technical decisions
at the opening of the American Sur
gical associations annual convention.
DR.. Mayor is delegate from Roches

ISOLATION. He explained that cancer of
the stomach formed third of all can
Ger cases among civilized peoples. He
asked:
us there some fundamental fault in
the food or in the cooking of civilized
men that gives such preponderance
TO cancerous conditions in the gastric
canal? Among the lower animals
cancer of the stomach does not form
nearly such large proportion Of the
total number of cases."
Connected With Meat Diet.
DR.. Mayo said that the amount of
meat consumed undoubtedly had some
thing to do with the prevalence Of
cancer. He then explained other
forms of cancer, among them cancer
of the mouth among the natives of
India, brought on by an irritation due
to chewing betel nuts. Cancer of the
groin, according to DR.. Mayo, is con-
fined almost entirely to chimney
sweeps and sailors.

From MONDAYS Daily.


ROCKFORD, Ill.,, April .1s.-The
pitching of young Joe Hancock fea-
tured the first exhibition game of the
Virginia Ore Diggers here Saturday
afternoon when the visitors trimmed
the Rockford team by the score of 8
to 5.
Although Hancock was in the box
only three innings, he obtained six
strikeouts. He allowed no hits and
no runs were obtained while he was
on the mound.
Hancock's work was admired and
complimented by the oldest and most
critical fans at Kishwaukee park. 1t
is predicted here that he will be the
one best bet among the FINGERS of the
Northern league this season. Manager
Taylor was. enthusiastic over the
boys work.
Get a Warm-Up.
Persch and Ursella also were given
chance to warm up against the Rock
ford club. They each pitched three
innings. Three runs were obtained off
Persch and Ursella loosened up for
iwo.~
The Virginians secured IL hits off
the Rockford pitchers while the home
club was credited with only seven.
Of these hits Brokaw obtained
three, Greisch, two and Watkins, two.
Catchers Shine.
The catching of Gould and the in
field work of Watkins at third and
Brokaw at first frightened the con-
test. Greisch, Brokaw, Kutz and Wat
kins were the heavy hitters of the day.
Greisch showed wonderful improve
ment, while Brokaw and Watkins
demonstrated beyond a doubt that they
are real ball players. Watkins works
great deal like Bancroft, who was
with Kid Taylor in Superior. He is
fast on his feet and a mighty good all
round prospect.
The base running of the Virginians
was revelation, considering that the
boys have only been in the harness
for a few days. They tore around
the circuit in mid-season form and
kept the locals guessing at every stage
of the battle.
Gould caught five innings and Nel7
son four. 80 49,: .:
