Exit Jack Johnson.

Jess Willard, the Kansas cow
boy,v % years old, 6 feet 6 inches
tall, weighing 245 pounds, whipped
Jack. johnson of Texas, colored
heavyweight champion, in the
twenty sixth round of scheduled
45 round contest for the champion
ship staged at Havana, Cuba, Mon
day.
Press reports of the fight indicate
that johnson had the skill and the
best of the battle in the opening
rounds, but height, weight and
youth told in the long contest and
he could not stand Wizards S
punches at the end.
The fight was won by a knock
out in the 26th round.
Sixteen thousand people saw the
fight and it is estimated that the
receipts will total $3.50, 900.
johnson is now back number
and will rapidly slump off into
obscurity.

during the first few days Of this
week some high level marks were
established on most active and
broadly selling market. In Londons
:Uuited States bonds are said to be
the, only national securities selling
above par, splendid evidence of the
confidence reposed in this govern.
ment.
a Our relations with belligerent
countries have not materially
changed; there are many differ
ences under discussion, but nothing
that threatnes to disturb our peace
full relations. In fact every foreign
country of the world, belligerent
and neutral, is courting American
friendship; the belligerents because
they are dependant upon us for
supplies upon which to exist, and
the neutrals because we are the
stronges neutral nation of the
world, and what affects our well
fare touches that Of every other
neutral nation.
With the general improvement
|of domestic conditions; with mills
reopening and thousands Of idle
men being put to work; with cotton
constantly improveing, notwith-
standing the. handicap of uncertain
shipping conditions, there is every
cause for congratulation, and every
reason to hope that the worst is

matter Of q very short time l fore
normal commercial, industrial and
financial conditions will be re-
