FIGHT JUST LIRE BROTHERS
Bipplei and Abbott Do a Vaudeville Turn
in the Squared Circle.
KNOCK-OUT THAT LOOKS LIKE A FAKE

iLi... . nw It,
A big crowd of sport-loving men from
Omaha, adjoining cttle and different pcrinte
In the stato pushed and fought their way
up thfc winding stairway leading to Wash
ington hall Monday night and aurged through
the doom when they wero Anally opcnM.
They went expecting to neo a bona fide, le
gitimate glovo contest botweon two men
reputed to bo lightweight pugilists. What
they did wltntss felt far Hhort of their ex
pectatlono. For twenty round of three minutes each
Curley Supples of Huffalo and Jack Abbott
of Victoria, H, C, chaecd each other around
a ring, lightly rapping each other at rare
Interval. Just before tho gong sounded
at the end of tho twentieth round Supples
fivldently ntruck Abbott with velocity
enough to raise an Abrasion of tho nkln
nnd tho Canadian fell limply to the floor
and rolled about for a doten seconds as
though In the throw of death. Ho wag sur
rounded by his trainer and keconds, hustled
oft to hl drcailng room, where he calmly
recovered hla equilibrium and proceeded to
don a suit of "store clothes," And th6
big crowd left tho hall disgusted.
Throughout tho entire contest hardly a
single good blow was struck by either man.
They dodged each other artfully and Co
quetted around tho ring like a couple of
frolicsome kittens. Opportunity after op
portunity wan presented whereby olther
could have landed on tho other and ettled
the affair without further ado. Tho contest
wan hardly of sufficient merit to be called
a clever sparring match. Abbott pranced
around tho stage about half of the time
with his head down, seeming to Invite hit
opponent to deposit Just one upper-cut on
hla unprotected phiz nnd end tho agony.
It t truo that Abbott was quick on his
reet and darted nbout llko a startled rabbit
and nhowed some signs of cleverness In his
defenolvo 'work. Supples, too, gavo Indica
tions of a llttlo aggrcstvenesa and forced
tho fighting at cortaln Rtagee of the game,
but not enough to arouse any particular en
thuslanm. Much Walking, I.lttlo 1' I r-lit III.
There wero rounds when not to exceed
two .blown woro struck by either of the
fighters. In tha early part of tho game
this looked good, for thco who had loutcd
Supples for a winner because of his sturdy
build and genoral appearance said: "Curley
Is hot stuff. Ho Ih playing with Jack and
'will soon have him winded. Then he will
nail In and hand hjra a knock-out." And
tho Abbott followers, who bad him picked
utt the coming lightweight champion of tho
universe, declared: "Jack Is certainly It.
Ho la merely Indulging In a llttlo harmless
amusement and will soon light In and chas
tise the man who fought two draws with
Jim Topp. H In long reach wilt enable him
to deliver the goods as soon as he feels that
wo have got our money's worth." While
these prognostications were In progress Cur
ley and Jack occasionally mixed together
and tho blown which they exchanged ttounded
like tho pattering of rain on a shingle roof
and were wholly harmless.
In tho nineteenth round Jack accidentally
put a little steam Into his delivery and
caught Curley In tho ribs with a short arm
Jolt. Hostilities wero Immediately sus
pended while Jack summoned up a Chester-
Hflcdjan,n(r and begged Curley's pardon, rfho
'boys then Bmtllngly proceeded.
The twentieth round was announced and
the crowd concluded to tarry a moment
longer, hoping that one of the fighters might
have yet a surprise In store. For a few tcc
onds the usual tactics wero continued and
then something happened. Tho two fellows
came together and Instantly Abbott was re
clining at full length on the floor. Referee
Patsy Fallon began to count. Abbott did a
few stunts na though endeavoring to regain
an upright position. Tho fatal number was
passed and all was over. And the verdict of
the crowd was "fake."
Tnohry Nny It Wna Square.
George Tuohey, Supples' manager, avers
that the fight was on tho sqUAro and tho
knockout a bona fide one. Supples, In his
dressing room, talked about tho climate af
fecting his speed and cutting his wind and
displayed two wrists somowhat swollen,
crediting them as responsible for his failure
soonor to knock out his adversary. They
were tho result, he said, of his blocking tha
blows Abbott clulmod to havo struck.
Tho knockout, to all Intents and purposes,
wis a spectacular ending to a featureless
exhibition. Had It come In any other round
than the last It might havo been viewed with
lets suspicion, but undor tho circumstances
no end of explanation could remove tha
prejudice which had arisen in the mloda of
thoko who witnessed the affair.
Tho first preliminary was betweon Harry
Corbett, a Chicago welterweight, and 'Tur
key-foot" Smith, a Kansas City sable-colerod
lightweight. It was a tame affair, Corbett
falling to put Smith out In four rounds as
agreed, but was given the decision on points,
Thon Paul Murray, tho local flghtor, was
turned loose on Corbott. In tho second
round they mixed things exceedingly lively.
Murray had tho Chlcagoan on tho toboggan
and was raining blows freely all ovor his
anatomy, when Corbett ducked through tho
ropes and Murray received the decision
with great glee.
New York, tvho fought a ten-round draw'

another match at lis pounds before'nny club

his acceptance of the offer, asking Dunn to

DENVER. Colo., May 7.-The Evening
TlmfS today published a letter from John
P.' Ddnn, manager for Matty Matthews of
A aiMUNfJ D1SHASI3.
Mnrr Catarrh nt This Season Than In
Any Other.
The fact that catarrh is more prevalent In
spring than any other time of year Is easily
accounted for by tho sudden changes, the
warm sunny day succeeded by tbe snow or
sleet of tho next.
Repeated coldn In the head resulting from
our flcklo eprlng climato, very easily drift
Into nasal catarrh, which Is at first simply nn
uncured cold, whlth finally, If neglected
cause! Inflammation and thlckonlng of the
mucous membrane of the nasal cavity which
gradually extends Into tho throat and bron
chial tubes and to tho stomach causing
catarrh ot stoinsch,
Douches ot salt water or douches of any
kind very often aggravates tho trouble by
still further Irritating tho delicate mem
branes. Tho safest remedy for colds In tho boad
and for any fortn of catarrh Is some simple
and safo antlsoptlc, preferably In tablet, and
taken Internally several times a day.
One of tho best antiseptic catarrh tablets
for this purpose Is one composed of San
gulnarla, Eucalyptol nnd (Hialacol. and sold
hy druggists under the namo ot Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets clean the catarrhal secre
tion from the membranes of tho none and
throat and act also very effectively upon
the blood, tbelr regular use for a tew weeks
entirely eliminating the catarrhal poison
from the system,
Tba best remedies for any trouble aro tbs
simplest, and Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is
superior preparation for colds and catarrhal
conditions because absolutely froo from co
caine or opiates to commonly found In
fbceo cough cure and catArrh medicines.

getting out Ice, I contracted a severe cold
which settled on my lungs so badly that
I thought sure I would havo to send for a

mended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I

CONFERENCE FULL OF SPICE
Heated Debates on SiTeral Mttrs Before
tho Methodist Qathiring.
CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE SOLD ON SUNDAY
Heleante Miockrd h- Nr Hint the
Paper Wns llmvkrd About Streets
on the Snlilinth Hiirnnmie
by ti Crunk,
CHICAGO, May 7. Tho session ot tho
Methodist general conference today was full
of life, brisk debate and some feeling.
There was consternation among tho dele
gates when It was learned that tho Dally
Christian Advocate had been sold on tho
ntroets on Sundny; there was violent oppo
sltlon to Dr. J. M. Buckley's resolution di
recting that all articled on controversies
under discussion by tho conference bo elim
inated from tho Dally Advocate, and a reso
lution by former Congressman Johnson of
North Dakota, giving tho approval of U10
conference to tho utxi of Individual com
munion cups, was cried down without tho
formality of a discussion.
Dr. Buckloy'8 resolution concerning tho
suppression of certain articles was pasoed
by a vote of 323 to 279. but not until several
delegates had expressed themselves very
fteely.
"Tho htimblo delegates want all tho light
on thcue subjects they can get." said Dele
gate Hammltl of Illinois, leader of tho op
position to tho resolution. Dr. Lnnahnn of
Baltimore remarked that tho editors wero so
used to suppressing things that they want to
supprcc3 the whole conference. A dozen
othera cpoke In a similar strain.
Amusement Clause QnestloiiiMl.
An attack on tho amusement clause" In tho
book of discipline was raado In an unlooked
for way by Dr. J. E. Price of Now York
during tho session, Ho questioned the con
stitutionality of tho amusement paragraph
248 nnd asked that tho committee on
Judiciary lcok Into tho matter. In explana
tion Dr. Price said:
"I do not believe the paragraph Is con
ntltutlonal. It is a Judicial ruling, but wa
not Sellvcrol In a case on trial. The para
graph wa adopted In 1S72 and not as the
result of a trial."
Ex-Governor PaUlson of Peunsvlvania,
chairman of tho committee on tho state ot
tho church, before which the amusement
problem will come for discussion, declared
today that while his committee had the
usual Hood of memorials waiting for It, noth
ing had been done, as their first meeting
after organization will not bo held till late
this afternoon.
The goneral opinion, as expressed today. Is
that It will bo a week before olther the
matter of new bishops or tho movo to raise
tho ban on theater-going, card-playing and
dancing will take definite form.
Tho devotional exorcises today were con
ducted by Dr. P. S. Merrill of Buffalo, while
Bishop Hurst presided over tho business
session. A noticeable feature of tho session
was tho brevity of most of tho speeches.
Crnnk Ciiiincm a Scene.
Tho beginning of tho seraton was lively.
A stranger, tall and wild looking, arose and
for several minutes delayed tho conference
by a disconnected harangue, accompanied by
almost every variety of gesticulation. He
was quieted, but no sooner had ho taken
his seat than Dr. A. B. Leonard caused a sen
sation of another sort.
Ho demanded to know by wboso nuthorlty
tho Dally Christian Advocate, which reports
tho doings of the conference, had been
hawked about the streets yesterday llko an)
secular Sunday paper. It wus sold, he de
clared with much vigor, at tho very door of
tho Auditorium while the Mothodlsts were
entering to attend dlvlno services.
"I want to put a motion right here," said
tho delegate from Cincinnati, "that here
after our paper be not sold on the Sabbath
and proper authorities be directed to enforce
the rule."
D. D. Thompson, manager of tho paper, ex
plained that the paper sold were back nura
bcr, that the alo was not authorized and
that It would not occur again.
As the tlmo approaches for settling tho
question of how many bishops nro to be
elected tho tcntlmoiit Is growing among
delegates that none of the present occupants
of the high office should bo retired and
placed on tho superannuated list, it seems
probable that, because of tho advanced age
of several numbers of tbe episcopacy, tho
committee on episcopacy will recommend tho
election of five additional bishops. Three
will bo for work in this country and two
to supervise tho missionary work In Asia.
The committee today began active work on
the questions referred to it by the confer
ence. Chairman Buckley was authorized to
appoint subcommittees on tenure of office,
missionary bishops, districting of bishops,
episcopal residences anil general reference.
A scoro of memorials was read and referred
to tho appropriate committees without dis
cussion. Those Who Would lie Blxhiitn.
Thoro are twenty or more avowed candi
dates for tho high offlco of bishop, notwith
standing tho fact that It is not likely that
nmro than live, additions to tho present board
of episcopacy wilt bo made. Among those
most prominently mentioned for bishop are
Dr. J. W. Hamilton of New York, Dr. J. F.
Ilcrry of Chicago, Dr. Henry Spellmelcr of
Newark, Dr. T. U. Neely of New York, Dr.
William V. McDowell ot Colorado and Dr. W.
V. Kelly of Now York
It Is probablo that much opposition to the
election of a colored bishop wilt oppear when
tho matter is taken up by tho conference.
The southern delegates, It Is said, will vote
(.olldly In favor of tho Innovation, but hun
dreds of rcpreie,ntntlves of northern confer
ences will npposo It. .The great number of
whlto candidates for bishop, It Is believed,
will opcrato against tho chances of Dr. '. E.
lloweu of Washington, tho leading colored
aspirant, and several prominent delegates
declaro that tho election of Dr. Bow en by
tho present conference Is by uo means cor
taln. Tho committee on temperance listened to
tho rending of several memorials referred
to it by tho general conference. One me
morial condemned President MoKlnley for
laxity In enforcing tho antl-cantocn law,
and was generally discussed, but no action
taken. Another recommended amending the
book of discipline so that members of the
church who rent property for saloon pur
poses mny bo brought to trial. They wore
all referred to tho subcommittee for consideration.
