BATTLING NELSON

DEFEATS JOE CHS Dane Was Again the Terrible Fighter of Old and Could Not Be Stopped. BATTLE WENT 17 ROUNDS. GANS WAS FLOORED SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE 17TH THAT HE FELL FOR THE COUNT. San Francisco, July 4. Battling Kelson knocked out Joe Gans in the seventeenth round here this afternoon before an enormous crowd which went wild with frenzy when the lightweight championship changed hands. Nelson was the old Durable Dane and gave Gans a fearful beating. The end was clearly in sight after the twelfth round. In that, session Nelson floored Gan3 twice and the nesrro was floored j Beveral times after that, his cleverness j alone saving him that long. For a j time the weather was very threatening. A fog rolled in over the ocean and enveloped the pavilion, but. later In the day the sun came out and when the fighters entered the ring there was a cloudless sky- Twenty women were scattered about the ring side and lent color to the assemblage. There was not a vacant seat In the great amphitheatre, the spectators being banked about the walls. It was announced by the club managers that there was over $40,000 in the house. It was an enthusiastic crowd, which cheered every move. The men were weighed in their dressing rooms to save time. The scales were set at 1?.?, pounds. Neither of them budged the beam. It was announced that both were close to the 132 pound mark. The ringside betting was 10 to 4 with Gans on the long end. No Neleon money was in sight. Tex Itickard of Goldfield, and Eli and Jim May of Reno, Nev., well known both as mining men and sports, indulged in some lively betting at the ringside. Rickard bet $5,000 with May at even money, that Gans would win within twenty rounds, $3,000 to $2,500 that Gans would win fight, and $2,000 even Gans would win in fifteen rounds. CHILLING BLASTS ; KILLING FROSTS : ONE BIG FIASCO (Continued From Paga One.) airship ascension that was advertised failed to ascend for a very good reason. It was not there. Substituted was a large bag said to be a balloon, but there was no demonstration. Thousands of persons had assembled at the park anxious o see and join in the festivities. But tnere 'was nothing doing in the way of a balloon ascension. Greased pole climbing and a few such antiquated stunts from the Brown county fair were attempted. But there was another chapter. It was not. a complete-in-oue-issue romance. There had to be two installments. The second came in the afternoon and the sugarcoat had worn from the quinine. The capsule may have leaked as there was a bitter taste left in the mouths of the gaping would-be spectators. Kids were induced to eat watermelon, while their hands were tied behind them. The "balloon" was filled with smoke. The aeronaut did not ascend, however. There was one all-sufficient reason, the balloon didn't either. "Look out, let 'er go," some one yelled. Up "er went" for about forty feet, then with a puff listed to one side, turned over and flapped down to the ground like a shot goose. That was the end of the alrship-balloon-parachute ascension and drop. Faithful to the end, Jupiter Pluvius wept for the lost affection and sent a shower to cool the heated tempers of the great crowds of bite-bit-bitten, citizens that had gone forth to see the celebration.

The professional and amateur records for the golf course at the Richmond Country club were broken yesterday. Dudley Elmer showed that once more he is back in his old time form, which means that he Is one of the greatest amateurs in the state, by negotiating the eighteen holes in 73, lowering; the record one point. John Renter the club professional established a new professional record by going the eighteen holes in 72. These records were made notwithstanding the fact that the course has recently been extended and made more diffU cult.

AUTO FRIGHTENS HORSE;

IS Bad Accident Occurs Near Hagerstown. Hagerstown, Ind.. July 4. Serious charges probably will be preferred against R. G. Hemingway of Muncie, believed to be the owner of an automobile that frightened a horse driven to a rig in which were Rev. A. C. U'ilmoie and Joseph Sikes. The Rev. Mr. Wilmore sustained serious injuries when the horse plunged into the ditch and threw him out. Mr. Sikes was not injured. Mr. Wilmore is pastor of the Hagerstown Service United Brethren church. He suffered a sprain to his arm, shoulder and hip on the side of his body which struck the ground. The accident occurred near the toll gate west of Greensfork. Mr. Sikes was driving Mr. Wilmore to this place and their rig had just ascended the hill, when the automobile dashed into view. The horse frightened and the machine was going at. a tremendous speed. The operator of the car never swerved and as there was not room on the road for the machine and vehicle the horse jumped into the ditch. The buggy was overturned an"t the occupants thrown out. Mr. Sikes noted the number on the car as F. A e8, Ind. WANTS HIS FREEEOM Earl Huntington Promises to Live as He Should If Released From Jail. APPEALS TO PROSECUTOR. Earl Huntington, who has served more than 200 davs in the countv jai! as the punishment inflicted in city court for a.t assault on former policeman Wm. Golden made a personal appeal to Prosecutor Jessup to speak a word to the court in his behalf. The original sentence of Huntington was for 2S0 days. He escaped from the jail, however, and fled to Columbus, O. He was arrested there and served time in tho workhouse. Upon returning to this city he was rearrested and sent back to jail to continue on his sentence. Huntington told the prosecutor he wants a chance to do right. He says he will go to work at once and give the authorities no trouble. He asks for the opportunity under promise that any authorities no trouble. He asks for the opportunity under promise that any deviation from the straight and narrow path may be punished by his return to jail without question. Huntington has a had reputation that works against his appeal and it is not believed probable the court w-ill give heed to his reouest, if the prosecutor sees fit to present the case. The prisoner has spent more time in jail than any man in the coun ty. HE HAD TO PAY. Half a Dollar That the Traveling Man Hated to Spend. "The 50 cents I hated most to spend," Bald the traveling man. "went to the Canadian Pacific railroad. I don't mind paying for things I get, but this particular expenditure couldn't be Indorsed 'for value received.' "A number of us got Into St. John, N. B., one night Just In time to catch the night train for Boston. We got aboard only to learn that the train didn't carry a diner. Now, a long night ride without dinner Isn't a pleasant prospect, so we besieged the conductor. " 'Why don't you start on the Montreal, which pulls out just ahead of us? he said. 'It carries a diner, and we can pick you up at Frederlckton Junction.' " 'No danger of your passing us?' we asked, and., he assured us that he couldn't very well, as there was only one track. So we all piled out after leaving our baggage in our Pullman berths. "It was surely a fine scheme we thought as we dined at our leisure In the Montreal train. After dinner we sought the nearest smoking compartment in a sleeping car and-prepared to wait in comfort for Frederickton Junction. "Then along comes a much uniformed official and demands 50 cents each for the privilege of eating a meal and having a smoke, aboard bis train. We explained carefully that we belonged on the other train, had given up the price for Pullman berths, and, furthermore, that we had been sent aboard this train for the sole purpose of get ting our dinner. 'Didn't the Canadian Tacific run both trains?' we asked. "But It was no use. We had to pay." Washington Post. Bismarck's Appetite. Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor, had an enormous capacity for eating and drinking, lie once told a friend that the largest number of oysters he ever ate was 175. He first ordered twentvfive; then, as they were very good. fifty more, and, consuming these, deter mined to eat nothing else and ordered another hundred to the great amuse ment of those present Bismarck was then twenty-six and had just returned from England.

WAS SUCCESSFUL

West End Merchants "At Home" Attracted Three Thousand People. ENTHUSIASM DID NOT LAG. Rain as hard as it could Friday afternoon the ardor of the members of the West Main Street Business Men's Association was not dampened. Neither was the faith of the public, and about 3,000 citizens visited the corner of Fourth and Main streets between the hours of 7 and 10 o'clock. They were attracted by the band concert on the court house lawn and the announcement the business men located between Sixth and Third streets wanted them as their guests. The rain of the afternoon faded the bunting and frayed the Hags, but the spirit of enthusiasm that has marked this organization since its inception did not flag. The showers abated during the concert and the decorations were not missed. Bunting had been stretched from Sixth to Third streets and these three squares never had appeared before in such gala array. JTlugs were suspend ed everywhere and everything looked its prettiest previous to the rain. The showers were so incessant and drenching that every star was faded out of the bunting and in many places the cloth was deprived of every semblance of color. Fire crackers and fire works of all sorts helped the occasion. The con cert by the city land was fully up to the standard. Arc lights had been suspended across Main street and the three squares resembled a midway. The merchants who promoted the affair were well pleased. Their stores were visited by hundreds and they probably will continue to offer the public such forms of entertainment as drawing cards. EARLY CREEK HISTORY. In the Time of Cortes the Tribe Life Was Idyllic. The Creeks are an entirely different race of people from the Cherokees and other northern Indians. They are of Aztec, or, rather, Toltec, origin, and in a teocallis, or pyramidal, temple, located in a secluded wild of the Creek country, the same religious rites and ceremonies are performed , today that were performed in the imposing teocallis located on the bank of the beautiful Lake Tezcuco, in the days of the 111 starred Montezuma II. The archives of the nation are here preserved in hieroglyphics, beautifully painted on shells, strung together on deer tendons. Here are also preserved their most cherished relics, their green jasper altar and a life sized image of their great war god, both brought from their former Lome near Vera Cruz, Mexico. At the time Cortes made his appearance in that neighborhood, bent upon a career of conquest and plunder, the Creeks, as they are now called, were living a peaceful, idyllic life in a land made sacred to them by having been the home of their ancestors for untold thousands of moons and containing the ashes and bones of their wise and loved old men through many generations. Gathering their warriors together, they i gave battle to the invaders, but weapons of stone and flint could make but little impression upon the steel clad warriors of Spain, and they were defeated with terrible slaughter. Gathering wives and little ones together and taking with them their most cherished possessions, among which were the records of their race, the jasper altar and their 'war god, holding in his extended right hand the sacrificial knife of flint, they made their weary way to the capital of Montezuma, the sacred city of Mexico, where they were warmly welcomed by that unfortunate monarch and where they fought bravely in defense of the devoted city. They assisted Gautomazin, the chivalric nephew of Montezuma, In his glorious, if ill fated, attempt to regain the throne of his ancestors, and'-upon its failure and the attendant death of that young chieftain by. torture, after the manner of the ancient Israelites, they determined to seek a land that man knew not, where they might provide homes for their families and worship the gods of tbeir ancestors. Exchange. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. The man who loves his joke is usually unpopular. Put yourself in the other man's place and you may stop abusing him. It Is commendable to save your money, but it is not commendable to look it. We worry as if we had to go through a whole year tomorrow instead of just one day. The cares and worries of life look pretty good, after all. to those returning to town through the cemetery ate. When n soldier returns from a battle bis story of the fight is more interesting and less truthful if he returns alone. Of course friends are a good thing, but when misfortune comes to you which do you wish you had more of friends or dollars? Atchison Globe. Cold Feet. Never go to bed with cold feet: never try to sleep without being perfectly certain that you will be able to keep them warm. To lie one night with cold feet gives such a strain to the system as will be felt seriously, perhaps ending in a fit of sickness. Cold feet show an unbalanced circulation. The very best thing to do is to warm them by exercise, if that be practicable; if not, by dipping them in hot and cold water alternately two or three times and then using vigorous friction. If that does not warm them and keep them warm, heat them before the fire, drying them thorongh'y. and then correct your habits or improve your health, for be sure that one or the other is wrong, perhaps tot.

FIVE APPLICATIONS FOR LIQUOR LICENSES

Commissioners Also Have Other Work to Consider. Five applications for liquor licenses will be presented to the county commissioners tomorrow. Two of the applicants are Cambridge City saloonists. All applications are for renewals of old licenses. Beside attending to this business the commissioners will award ihf contract for The construction of South L street under the township gravel road law. This contract carries with it a $17,000 deal, but the bidding wUl be far from spirited. CAMBRIDGE CITY HAS SENSIBLE FOURTH There Was No Big Celebration. CamorTflge City, July 4. THIS ws probably one of the most quiet and sensible Fourths that Cambridge City has had in years. There was no big celebration, and all the business places in the city were closed. ROBERTS IS GONE Negro Who Badly Cut John Turner in Fight, Can Not Be Found. OLD GRUDGE RESPONSIBLE Where is Anse Roberts? This question is one which the police department is verv desirous to solve. Roberts left town post haste following a fight near the Kennenohl 6aloon Friday evening about 8:30 o'clock. Roberts cut John Turner his oponent about the head and face with a knife. The fight was the outcome of long standing enmity between the two men," who are negroes. Both Turner and Roberts have been involved with the police in various escapades. The face of Roberts is badly disfigured as the result of the work of a knife in the hands of a man with whom he fought a few years ago. Turner and Raymond Devinney, an other negro, fought on North Seventh street about one year ago and Turner was worsted badly. The two met at the Kennepohl saloon and it was only a short time until the bad blood became evident. Words led to blows and after thy had gone onto the street a melee ensued. Turner is not very expert in the use of his fists but was managing to take care of himself until Roberts drew a knife. Anse has used such a weapon before when under similar circumstances and he hacked Turner about the face and head until he was all out, so far as fighting ability was concerned. Then Roberts ran and has not been seen since. 'FINED A FRANC. What That Meant to an American Who Was Living In Paris. When you are fined a franc In Paris It means that you pay 12 francs 7J centimes, or just over half a sovereign. This is the only conclusion to which one can come after reading the curious experience of an American citizen who is staying In Taris to complete the education of his sons. He lives in an apartment Dear the Arc de Trimphe, and the other morning one of his servants committed the Imprudence of shaking a carpet out of the window, after 9 o'clock. A lynx eyed constable saw her and immediately climbed-the stairs, rang the bell, entered the apartment and drew up a summons against the tenant. The American was called and gave his name. "I did not know it was a breach of the law," he said. "But as I have broken it I must pay. How much Is It?" "You will be fined 1 franc," replied the policeman. "There you are," answered the

American, and he held out the coin. But the "agent" refused to take it "Later on," he remarked as he withdrew, "you "ill be summoned before the justice o ie peace." Some days later the delinquent was invited to appear before the "Juge de paii" and obeyed the summons. He was obliged to wait three hours in an antechamber. Then he was admitted. "Do you admit." asked the magistrate, "having broken the law?" "I do," was the rply. "Good. Tou are fined 1 franc." "There you are. then." And the American again held out the franc. But the magistrate would have none of It "You will pay the sum later. Tou will be advised when. You may withdraw." The American took his departure, considerably surprised at so many formalities in connection with a franc fine. A few days later he received a stamped raper inviting him to pay, first of all. 1 franc, the amount of his fine, plus 25 centimes, the amount of the decides, plus 11 francs 43 centimes, the amount of the costs, making in all a total of 12 francs 73 centimes. The American paid, but as he left the police court he remarked: "In America a law which forced a citizen to pay $12 when he had only been fined $1 would be considered a hypocritical and dishonest law. And we would not tolerate It long, you . betr London, Globe. I

You Are Wronj

Some of you don't eat MapI-FIake, simply because it costs 15 cents. You are clinging to foods that you like far less because they are five cents cheaper. But you are wrong ; they are dearer. You are losing the food you like best tho one that's all food the one with the maple flavor. And all through a mistake. You forget the cream, in the first place. Add that cost to the food cost and see how trifling the difference. For cream costs tha same on poor food as on good food. Mapl-Flake is all nourishment because it all digests. That's why it costs more. We spend 96 hours in preparing it. That's four times the time that some others spend. And the time is all spent for your good your economy. Let us explain. Starch the main part of wheat cannot digest until it is made soluble. Raw starch won't digest. When it is halfcooked, half will digest. The balance is wasted and worse. It ferments and breeds germs in the stomach. So we make that starch all digestible. We create a food that's all food.

Our wheat is steam-cooked for six hours; then cured. Then flaked so thin that the full heat of our ovens gets to each atom. Then toasted 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Omit the fact of the flavor derived from pure maple syrup. Consider simply the question of food value. Is a food that half digests economical? Is it worth the cost of the cream? The food that you buy because it is Cheaper costs more than Mapl-Flake. The only food nerved in Individual package In hotels, club, cafes, and on dining cars.

DESIRE VOTING MACHINES BE USED IN COUNT! Manufacturers Write to the vommissioners. When the county commissioners meet tomorrow for the first session of the July term of court, they will be presented with a letter from the Perfect Voting Machine Company, of Indianapolis. This company is expected to propose to the commissioners that it be given the opportunity to install test machines in this county without costs of any kind. The concern is a competitor to the United States Voting Machine Company and has adopted this method to acquire business. The United States company has had a machine on display at the court house for more than a week. The company's agent has induced the commissioners to consider his suggestion as to renting machines for use at the coming general election. He has supplied the commissioners with figures as to the relative cost of elections when machines are used and by the old system. When the commissioners enter the market they will give all companies manufacturing machines an equal chance. Risky Hnveng. Gaganinl, the wonderful violinist had a narrow escape at Ferrara from a violent death.
