RING GENERALS
SERVING IN ARMY
Jack Munroe Loses Right Hand
in Battle, But Says, I'm
Still in Ring"

Private Richard Burge, of the First
Surrey Rifles, will pass the half-cen-
tury mark on Sunday, as he was born
Dec. 10, 1869, but he is said to be as
active and physically trim as in the
old days when he was the lightweight
champion of England. Dick Burge
was a name we'll known to the fight
fans on both sides of the Atlantic
20 years or so ago, chiefly because OF
his remarkable battle with Kid La
vigne for the lightweight champion
ship Of the world. Dick was several
inches taller than the Saginaw Kid,
and had a considerable advantage in
weight, but much to his surprise and
that of the English fans he was knock.
ed out in the 18th round. He gave a
good account of himself before he fell,
however, and there were times when
the Kid had reason to fear that he
had bitten off more than he could
masticate in tackling the Englishman.
Burge has been a fight promoter since
he quit the ring in 1900. He has lived
an active, athletic, temperate life, and
is in good trim to fight for his coun'
try. His enlistment as a volunteer
a few months ago caused great en-
thusiasm in British sporting circles,
and inspired dozens of younger box
ers to follow his example, many of
them joining the First Surrey Rifles.

IS years tomorrow since Jack broke
into the pugilistic limelight by stay
ing four POUNDS with Jim Jeffries at
Butte. He afterward knocked out Pet
err Maher and other good men, but
was put TO sleep in a second bout
with Jeff. Jack was born in Pennsyl-
yania, but made a fortune in Canad-
ian mines, and went to the front soon
after the outbreak of the war. AL
though considerably mangled, Jack is

Chicago, Dec. 16.--Speedway racing
paid rich harvests during the 1871"
season. The owners OF the nine
tracks, on which II races We're run
during the last year, hung up a to;a:
of $2S2, 900 in prize money, as com

WHEAT CLOSES $3.50
after Wild TRADING
Immence of German Block
ade Takes Heart Out of
Operations.

CHICAGO, Feb. IA sensational
day with lower prices and a range o.
nearly six cents in May and July
wheat developed on the Board OF
Trade. The imminence of the hour OF
Germany's attempted blockade OF the
British isles with the feared loss OF
ships and higher insurance took all
the heart out of trading. All grains
closed lower May wheat which closed
yesterday at $1.62A, sold down to 81.
STA and closed at $3.50. July, which
yesterday closed at $1.36ss declined to
$1.30A and closed at $1.32H. The COM
paratively strong close in both options
was due to reports just before 10
O'Clock of the sale in New York of L.
OOO, 900 bushels cash wheat for export
wheat.
May corn closed at 77Ac, which was
11ac under yesterdays close, and July
closed at 79Ac, lost lac. The low
was 76Ac for May and 7Sc for July.
Provisions were lower, pork losing
25 cents and other hog products 10
cents. The live stock market was de-
moralized by the eastern quarantine.

BEGIN SELLING GRAIN
HELD FOR BIG PRICE
Farmers Make Only Nominal
Gain as Feed Costs Much
More.

Farmers who have been holding
their wheat at home to take advantage
Of the increased prices, have been
moving the product to the market
during the last week. The decline on
the Chicago market was responsible
for part of the general delivery as
farmers feared the market might
break suddenly. and thought 1t best
to take advantage of the present To-
cal price of $3.50 a bushel which is
Just twice the price offered at thEesh-
ing time.
A farmer living near Richmond who
recently delivered 1000 bushels OF
wheat at $3.50 a bushel said that he
made $3.50 by holding his crop six
months.
In most cases, however, it is pointed
out that the farmers are not the gain
ers by the high prices which have pre-
vailed for the last month. Most Of
he wheat was sold when the market
was running from 80 cents to 800 a
bushel. Now that the price has gone
up the price Of all mill products has
Increased accordingly. The farmer has
been hit just as hard by the price OF
flaur as has the city man. In ad-
dition to this the price of mill feeds
has increased from 50 to 81 ton. and
this at the season when the farmer
must buy the most of his feed.
This condition has been felt especial
ly by. the dairymen who use large
quantities of bran and middlings. Some
of these men declare that there has
been little or no profits in the milk
business this winter on account of the
higher price of feed. They point out
that if the price of milk had been in
creased during the winter months they
could have met present conditions
much better. In any case it is pointed
out that the farmer has not been re-
sponsible for the present high prices
of wheat. and he is not getting any
benefits from it.

CONTROL MEAT PRICES
[BY LEASED WlRE.1

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE declaration
by the state of New York of a quar-
antine prohibiting the shipment OF
livestock into the state from points
east of the Missouri river today, placed
control of the meat business of Am
erica in the hands of the Chicago
packers and demoralized the local

20 cents lower than Tuesdays prices;
and practically no cattle or sheep
were purchased, the packers prefer
ring to wait. They could do anything
they wished, as there was no outlet
left for the stock One by one the
scores of packing plants in the east
have been closed because of quaran-
tine regulations which cut off sup
plies. But until today the stock men

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question and ''How to Prevent
Colds" is asked a thousand times
every day. A cold is really fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered condition of the
blood or lack of important food
elements. In changing seasons fat
foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the body better able
to withstand the varying elements.
This is the underlying reason why
the medicinal fats in Scott's Emulsion
quickly overcome colds and build
strength to prevent more serious sick
ness. 1t contains natures medicinal
fats, so skillf,lly prepared that the
blood profits from every drop, and it is
free from harmful drugs or alcohol.

The senate resumed consideration of
the bill when the afternoon session

Jones, father of the measure, opened
bill completely. Following Jones ad.
dress, Representative Niblack, who
also favors the bill, moved to advance
it.
Senator Rinear led the fight for the
bill in the senate. The committee re-
port, unfavorable to the measure, was
presented by Senator Van Auken who
explained that the committee would
favor a bill to refer the primary propo-
sition to the voters at the next elect
ion. Senator Rinear asked that the re-
port of the bill be not concurred in.
Il want to 60 back home to the
people who sent me here and tell them
l voted for this BILL" he said. II do
not want to go back on my promise
and l will not concede that my party
go back on her promise. You can pro-
test against this bill but you cannot
throttle the will of the people,"
Senator Ballou supported Rinear's
argument, declaring there were three
hundred thousand voters now waiting
for the Democrats to stand by their
platform" The other senators who
spoke in favor of the measure We're
Robinson, Sommers, HUMPHREYS, Cul-
bertscn and Thornton. The latter said
he favored it for selfish reason, as he
had been nominated by five primaries.
