4.ROUNDER BECOMES RING STAR

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 10
Another star OF the four-cofner-
ed ring has developed here from
the four-round game.
He fs Eddie Miller, bantam

the front by the same trainer
that guided Eddie Campi into
fame" Moose" Taussig.
Miller, like most of San Fran
eiseo's former glove stars, was
born and raised South of the
Slot"
Probably MilIer's best booster
is Harlem Tommy" Murphy.
Miller first sprang into promi-
hence. however. at Murphy's ex-
pense. 0ming out of q elineh
while boxing with Murphy, Miller
stepped in quickly and landing a
snappy right cross, sent Murphy
to the mat, something that Willie
Richie. then lightweight cham
pion, could not accomplish in 20
rounds. although he landed al
most at will on the Harlem
Harp"
Miller will be a wonder be-
fore long," said Murphy after the
sparring was over. II never saw
a kid with a better right cross in
my life. 1t reminds me of Joe
Cans famous blow. Quick and
snappy, not extra hard, but sure
to shake anybody up that he hits.

by matters outside baseball.
When Stallings was manager at
Detroit Ban johnson made vio-
lent charges against Stallings,
read him out of baseball, called
him all sorts of names and ac-
cused him of actual crimes.
Stallings must have been
chuck1ing, for while President
Johnson was reading him out of
baseball he had a contract al
ready signed to lead the Yankees
in 1903. StalIings stiffened the
team, pushed ii up to second
place, stuck in the fight to near
the finish and finally finished
fifth.
Stallings came back to the ma
jors to take the hopeless tail-end
Boston Braves. Last year he
startled the league by leading the
team into first division by a
spectacular squirt, and this season
he has stunned them by an I'M
precedented climb from last to
second place in a month.

CHAPTER VII.
For a whole of the forenoon
we had heard firing in the dis
tance, the thunder of cannon and
the rattle of musketry. Ou-
regiment had been marched hith-
err and thither. The fight had
drawn nearer and nearer. We
were expecting to be under fire
at any moment, and then we had
to fall back again, and look for a
new place to develop our attack.
1t seemed as If the orders that
came through were contradictory,
and this tension of uncertainty
fell like a blight on our spirits,
and got on the nerves both OF
officers and men. At length wo
had wound through a defile, the
steep slopes of which, left and
right, were thickly grown with
trees. Things had got into a bit
of a mess. We had had to force
our way through underground
soaked with rain, through BRAN
bles and clumps of tall broom on
which the green pods were still
pendent. - times there was
nothing in sight except the roof
and wall of greenery.
We breathed more freely when
at last the sky spread clear over
head again.
So now we have reached a
green meadow, and are marching
straight across it. but are still
unable to see anything OF the
enemy's forces yet. Even the fir-
ing has died down, and has De-
come more distant than before.
IL seemed as IL we had come into
another. remoter world, and-so
we have; for soon we notice how
soft the ground has become un-
der our feet, how water Is oozing
up at every step. We shall, IL
we go on, be right in the middle

retracing our steps toward the
defile to get out of the rat-trap.

HOW IOWA G. A. r.. Is PASSING
Only S.514 Now On Rolls-More
Than 500 Died In 1913.

When veterans of the civil war
gather in Burlington for their annual
encampment next month, they will
learn that taps have been sounded
for more than 500 of their Iowa
comrades during the last year. The
grim reaper has carried off five per
cent of the veterans of the war of
the rebellion now living in the state
since the reunion of last year.
This is the report computed in the
G. A. R. headquarters at the state
house for the Burlington encamp-
ment. The exact number cannot be
secured because of the fact that
many old soldiers have passed to the
life beyond unknown to their COM
rades who are members of the G. A.
R.
The report from the various chap
ters of the G.. A. R. of Iowa shows
413 to have answered the call since
June of last year. Other death re-
rorts sent to the state have added
another one hundred. The total en-.
rollment Of the Iowa G. A. R. is g.
514. It is estimated that there are
between 1900 and 1000 veterans
who do not belong to the organiza-
tion.

of $40.

The primary election in Decorat
and Winneshiek county on Monday
proved to be quiet affair, neverthe.
less fairly good vote was cast. The
local contests were few, which at.
tracted any interest. For county
treasurer, Deputy Treasurer Lloyd
Christen won over his opponent e
R. Abbey by the handsome majority
of SAG.
In the state senatorial race Hon.
L. M. Enger was an easy winner over
H, L. Spaulding Of Howard county,
his majority being 435 in Winnie
shiek county. In Howard county the
complete returns gave Spaulding
Ala votes and Enger 1916.
In the contest for United States
Senator, Senator Cummins received
$50 votes and his opponent, Savage
103, which gives the senator a hand
some majority in this county, and a
tremendous one throughout the
state. Gov. Clarke also received a
big vote in the county and will easily
win the nomination by big major
ity over Lee and Rowley His VIC
tory throughout the state is very
complete.
Maurice Connolly, of Dubuque,
candidate for United States senator
on the democratic ticket seems to be
winner over E. T. Meredith of Des

gives Connolly 4 lead of 4,27O.

reality.

lean amusement that appeals to all
the people. The expert knows what

but he wouldn't have it changed for
worlds. The very conventioralism
of most of the performance is what
makes it so delightful.
The merit in u big circus like the
Sparks Shows Is in the fact that ev-
erything in the show is the very best
of its kind. There must inevitably
be riding acts, but the riders are the
leaders of their profession. There
must be acrobats but the aerobatic

best that money can procure.
