Wichita, Kan, Aug. S.-An ice fam

Wichita ice plants have closed down
and the burden of supplying the de-
mand has fallen on the other COM

cope with the emergency and supply

Washington, D. C.-The honorable Jerry
Simpson who first achieved fame under
the derisive sobriquet of the ''Sockless
Statesman of Medicine Lodge" but who
has now come to be regarded as one of the
most powerful and shrewd leaders of the
Farmers Alliance has just returned from
a prolonged southern trip. He said:
1.-The Republican party stakes its all in
Ohio this year. Sherman represents its
idea of finance and Mckinley of the tariff.
These two with the bloody, shirt of IN
gals give the party its only excuse for
existence And when the campaign this
fall is over Mckinley and Sherman will be
statesmen out of a job.
I'VE will have a candidate in the field
next year. Even If we don't win the pres
identfal election next year we will break
up the Republican party. Then we can
turn attention to the Democrats. 1t
will be tougher and harder to kill but
when the Alliance lion and the Democratic
lamb lie down together the lamb will lie
down inside the lion"

SWEENY Is EASY
FOR FAY KEISER

II the dope of the Cumberland fight
fans can be taken for anything, Mike
Uraine the local middIe-weight. is in for
a good trimming on Friday night at the
Maryland Athletic and Social Club when
he is carded to travel fifteen rounds with
Fay Keiser, the Cumberland puncher.
Keiser scored a decisive victory Mon
day night over Knockout Sweeney, of
New York, in a fifteen-round battle. 1t
was one of the best battles ever staged
in the Maryland city and the Cumber-
land boy out-pointed and out2fought his
New York opponent over the entire route,
making every round a winning one. Only
for the good ring generalship exercised
by Sweeney in the third. fifth and eighth
rounds did he save himself from being
kayoed. According TO reports, Keiser had
Sweeney bleeding profusely at the end
Of the battle.
If Keiser can take Knockout Sweeney
into camp in this easy fashion. Craine
will sure be pushed for honors. Mike is
clever scrapper and a great deal better
than the local fistic followers give him
credit for being. Mike will not be back
ward in carrying the fight to his Cum
berland opponent and when everything is
taken into consideration the best middle
weight clash ever carded at Ardmore is
on tap Friday night.

There was no scrimmagfng, but to-
morrow it is expected the varsity will be
pitted against the strong scrub team for
a stiff workout.
As heretofore stated. the coaches have
not finally decided upon the lineup for
the big game, owing to the large number
of candidates for several positions, all
of whom have shown about equal
strength in the preliminary games. After
tomorrow's scrimmage 1t is expected the
coaches will have reached a pretty def

start against the soldiers.
The Middies will meet Villa Nova on
