tualiy in training his match with Jess

ton. from now on. For the next two
months Jack Curley g. Co. will be kept
busy denying the stories OF fake that

match is decided. no matter what the out

Promoters are always sure of plenty
Of this sort of publicity when johnson is
to be one OF the principals in match.
Rumcrs of the kind are inevitable aud
are likely to be more numerous than
usual this time. since there is so much
that is mysterious about the affair.
On the face of things there Is no profit
in sight for anyone interested in the
match except johnson. To all appear
ances II will be simply a duplicate of the
Flynn-Johnson affair at Las Vegas,
which was such frost, financially and
every other way. Jack Curley engineered
that fiasco. So far as is known he never
made a cent on the deal. There was
practically no betting and the gate re-
ceipts amounted to less than Johnson's
guarantee.
Now Curley Is no philanthropist. and y
looks decidedly strange that he should
be 10 willing to run the risk Of agar
wasting his efforts. What is the reason
for his confidence? That he really Think

consent. Thus the onus is lifted to som

Another curious angle Is that there
no attempt to take advantage of the ide
that Johnson is all In physically in orde

that the big black is almost as good a

BIDS TOO HIGH.
All of Eighteen Opened for State Trade
 School Have Too Big Figures.

Bids for the construction of the State Trade school building to be erected on High school field were opened Monday afternoon in the rooms of theO Chamber of Commerce in the Union block in the presence of mem bers of the special committee on the Trade school and other interested per- sons. There were I8 bids for the gen. eral contract and five for the heating contract, but the contracts were not awarded.
 It was found that all of the bids were so high as to be so close to the maximum amount of funds available for the building as not to leave a sufficient margin to pay architect fees, cost of advertising for bids and other incidental expenses.
 The committee adjourned until Wednesday, December 8, and in the meantime an addendum will be sent out and the specifications modified somewhat It is expected then that bids will be received for a building 50 by 90 feet at a figure that will aI- low of acceptance and also leave a sufficient amount of the appropriation available to meet the extra costs men, toned.

 "The visit of Emperor Nicholas to the frontier. during his inspection of the southwest front. also seems to in- dicate that particular attention is given 10 military preparedness in these localities. These suppositionS are strengthened by the alarm shown by the Bulgarians respecting the Danube frontier.

The first sign of trouble came when objection was made to an order which curtatled- the use of chairs at the benches. The department head made an investigation and when about to adjust the alleged grievance the men made the wage demand, which, upon refusal led the men to walk out. It is stated that a somewhat similar de- mand was made by 200 men in othef sub-departments of the cartridge sec tion but these did not strike. A reply to these men will be made tomor- row, the general manager promising to have it's foremen investigate any claim that wages are not adequate dealing with the men individually. Representatives of the company met the strikers and discussed with them the alleged grievances.
 The company's officials stated that last August the toolmaxers were given 42 hour week without a decrease iu the wages they were receiving for a s hour week. The present demand Is practically for 15 per cent. wage in crease.
 It Is not known whether or not the strikers have been organized. For some time efforts have been made by representatives of the machinists' union to organize the metal workers in the Winchester plant.

Rheumatism is a tormenting and stubborn malady. In some cases it yields to treatment which is without avail in other cases.

NOT PUNCHING BAGS.
Trolley Car Crews Not Meant to Be
 Abused by Passensers.

Te stiff sentence imposed in the town court upon Frank Winescki for having struck Conductor Arthur Va chon while the latter was in charge of an electric car on which Winescki was a passenger is merely a repetition of a warning that such actions will not be tolerated for a moment. In this case the prisoner was brazen enough to imagine that he could pay for his folly with money. Trolley crews are not punching bags for anyone, and this method of severely punishing those who attempt to abuse them is neither novel nor vindictive. It is simply in accord with the practice for years in the local court of making street car fighters sorry that they started trouble.
