The rumor tina, johnson has agreed

Johnson always has said that he would

Johnson had intended ever To sell out
during his career he would have done
so AT Reno. Apparently he had agreed
10 do something of the sort before the
fight. and IL * said that Jef'rics knew
of the arrangement. Two days before
the fight johnson sent word to the
Jeffries camp that So far as he was
concerned the fight would he on the

Of Lancaster ArmOry Brought
To This City
By Mt. Vernon Men Who
Visit There On Tuesday

DR.. F. c. Larimore and Mr.. A. A.
Dowds were in Lancaster, o., Tues.
day and returned with the plans of
the $4,000 armory now in the process
OF construction in that city.
The plans for the proposed Mt. Ver-
non armory will of necessity differ
materially from those of the Fairfield
county one. In the first place, a much
larger quarters for the battery will
be necessary, as Lancaster has an in.
fantry while Battery ID Is artillery.
Again, the G. A. r. quarters in the
Lancaster armory are not sufficiently
commodious and donot provide enough
room for meetings, etc. Also, they
are located on the second floor of
the structural something Joe Hook.
er Post has been endeavoring to
avoid,
Ample room is provided in the Ian
caster building for public meetings
and the like and the lighting arrange
ment Is excellent. The structure is
of the Roman Doric type of archi
lecture.

Josephine Clarke, whose costumes

wherever she goes, is coming here
with Ringing Brothers circus and all
her fourteen trunks of beautiful
dresses are coming with her.
Miss Clarke has the reputation Of
being the best dressed, the prettiest
and most graceful rider in all the
land of spangles.. Her snow white
mount, Silver King, Is the most know
ing of all circus horses. This beauti-
full English girl is of the new school
of equestrianism. While she is an
adept at the forward and backward
somersault and all like feats Of
horsemanship, her most remarkable
achievements lie In her daring toe
and ballet dancing performed upon
the back of her swiftly moving steed.
Dangerous? Perhaps SO, but Miss
Clarke laughs at such a suggestion.
