MITCHELL WILL ,4'r-.'
GO WEST after
CHAVEZ FIGHT

Denver, Colo, Aug. 12.-Ritchic
Mitchell, the little Milwaukee feath-
erweight, who is scheduled to meet
Benny Chavez in a 2O-round bout at
the Colorado Athletic club next Tues
day evening, will likely go on to Los
Angeles If he meets no reverses here
at the hands of the Mexican. Mitchell
this morning received a telegram
from Joe Levy, informing him that 1t
was very probable that bout could
be arranged there whereby Mitchell
could work up to battle with the
winner of the coming Dundee Kill
bane clash, which is scheduled for
the early part Of September.
Mitchell says he will go west. He
says he has no fear of the Chavez
style of battling and that at last he
sees the opportunity of working him
self into clash with the champion,
Kilbane, his goal ever since entering
the game. Mitchell is confident that
he is just about in line for a title
clash now, and he says he cares not
as to whether Dundee dethrones Xii
bane or not. Mitchell says he will
face the little wop as gladly as Kill
bane, If the champion retains the IT,
tie.
Mitchell got into the heavy grind
at the little Broadway quarters this
afternoon. Chavez arrived in town
this morning, and he, too, is now in
camp. Promoter Delaney says the
interest in the coming clash shows
that Denver is again interested In
the little fellows, and that the boys
will perform to one of the best houses
ever gathered under that roof.
Mitchell was introduced at the
Thompson-C Cameron fight last night
and was given a nice reception.

hog receipts have enlarged greatly.
Likelihood of wide spread ib-

of at the stock yards. Today prices
for cattle were down 10 to Is cents

equal decline. 80.
Morris L. Co., packers, issued a
statement today saying present prices

The Heart Of a Hero a well-con-
structed four-act comedy-drama with
an interesting plot, was presented at
the Grand Theatre Monday night by
a cast Of local amateurs for the bene

proved a gratifying success in every
particular. Each member of the com
pany gave an excellent interpretation
of his or her respective role, and the
mechanical details were handled with
a degree of precision that contribut-
ed in large measure to the smooth
ness of the production. A good-sized
audience was in attendance and the
financial results were entirely salts

Attractive Decorations.

One of the most attractive of the
many effective decorations adjoining
local business houses in honor of the
fair Is that of the New Orleans Bar
gain Store, which was designed by
Jasmin Tobias, the hustling proprietor
OF the establishment. The posts are
empowered in sugar cane, forming
graceful arches the full length of the
building, and stalks of cane are set
out in rows on the neutral ground
bordering the sidewalk On one side
OF the main entrance is a large bas-
ket Of fleecy cotton, with picka-
ninny seated in the center holding
a sign. 1--WE love our cotton" On
the other side is a barrel Of sugar
and stalks of cane, with a laborer
cane knife in hand, displaying the
legend, ooh! you sugar." Flags and
bunting are festooned over the entire
front, the display as whole being a
most attractive one and causing
much comment as to its originality.

Civilizations.

It Is prominently in youth that the
desire to meet obligations may be
most firmly implanted and become a
permanent possession. Children are
quick to catch the spirit of those they
are with; they soon learn to value the
same things and to strive for them.
And the desire for a worthy object,
continually striven for ard attained,
grows into habit Of the heart as sure
~ IS any long-continued process OF
thought grows into a habit Of the
mind, or any oft-repeated manual op-
GRAFTON grows into habit OF the hand.
And what habit can be so inestfnab1e
To the individual or 80 valuable to SO
#ciety as that which leads men and Wo-
men to meet every obligation as It
rises, gladly and. speedily, with the
same satisfaction that every honest
man feels In paying his debts?
