F.E.VO. Nev.. June a. "Well, this Is
t.i. last bit fight. Pugilism as It hai
flourished many decades will ba a lost
art in the United States, and that means
In the world, when the Jeffries-Johnson
fight la over."
Such Is the prediction of tha whole
fighting world, apparently. It is shared
by fighters, trainers and sporting writ
ers as they loiter about the hotels of the
city or about tha quarters of the. prlncl
p.U patiently awalwr.ff the coming of
Monday and the decision that Is to ba
ti.ii. Id don la the irni on that day.
Whenever two old friends, comrades at
many ringsldes, meet, often for the first
l.me In years, that Is almost lnviit.My
the greeting. A tcuch of regret for the
exciting days which they believe are gone
forver cieps Into every conversation.
A feeling almost of stdnt's uderlies the
laughur and witty banter of tha gather
ing hosts of fight followers. All seem
certain that th.s la tha end. that when
t,.e "shouting and tha tumult" at the
ringside has died and the time of parting :
has come, there will be rothing to say
but "goodbye." It wUI not b "until we
meet again."
"It wUl be a great fight. And it will be
a turn fur two sessions. The bout with
Berger was an Interesting one. Jeffries
slashed at his manager with an assortment
of smashing blnws and In the second round
placed a right hook tnat bent the San Fran
ciscan and robbed him of his wind. Jef
fries asked Berger If he had enough after
the second and laughed when the business
agent came back for more.
Armstrong was dropped to his knees dur
ing una of the onslaught! when he was
dancing before Jeffries. The big sparring
partner ass Just breaking from a clinch
when a right body punch took the fight
out of him and ended hostilities for several
seconds. Armstrong had a hard time taking
I csre of himself for the rest of the round.
I When the two runds with Bums were
j over, Jeffries was rubbed and then went
i to breakfast. He spent the rest of the day
! loitering about the grounds of bis cottage
and early In the afternoon left camp for a
t.shing trip, accompanied by Jim May, a
local sport: ng man and newspaper man.

"The f!ght game has reached the end. j
I have followed it since I knew enough to
follow anything. I hae letwned to know
ail these fellows aruund here by meeting
tnem at the fighting centers, whether at
New Orleexs. Jacksonville. San Francisco.
Coldfield or Reno. We have followed the
ga.ne together and we have followed to the
end. I am only glad that It has not just
dwindled away, but will go out In a blaze
of glory."
It waa a day of remmlscences and taJee
of other fights and other fighters. There
was little else to do. Jeffries' work-out
early this morning came as a complete
surprise. Hardly one of the usual crowd
of spectators reached Moena In time to
witness It. From then until Johnson
dawdled through a llstness ten rounds with
his sparring partners late in the afternoon
there waa nothing to do but talk. It was
too hot to walk much and the groups of
sporting celebrities clung to the shade and
gossiped endlessly.
Once relieved of his worries over the arena
which marred the beginning of his day,
Promoter Rlckard had time to answer num
erous telegrams and to discuss many de
tails of his preparations with his subordi
nates. Most Important of these waa the ar
rangement for transferring to Reno from
San Francisco JSO.Ono of the puree money,
now on deposit In the coast city.
Traasfer of Pint Xoaey.
Rick&rd was asked by Tim Sullivan of
New Tork. stakeholder, to attend to this at
once and the funds probably will be In the
Reno bank tomorrow, Sullivan himself, ac
cording to hia telegram today, expects to
arrive July L
The disturbance over the arena was
caused by the loss fur a time of the plana.
When the blue prints had been found the
carpenters went at their work with a will
and the framework had been partially
clothed with bleacher planks before night
fell.
Rlckard and Johnson were in conference
for almost an hour at noon after the cham
pion had done his eight miles of road work
In the early morning. Both stated the mat
ter under discussion was without direct
bearing on the fight, but would nut say
what had been talked of. Johnson later
visited a bank and cashed a check and
then waa whirled back to the camp.
When the negro, clad In his usual ring
costume of blue and black, stepped Into the
ring In the late afternon, the roped square
was flanked by a big gathering of visitors.
Al Kaufman was called on after a few
minutes medicine ball work, but tha four
rounda that followed were devoid of stirring
moments. Kaufman puffed like a broken
down race horse. Ha was forced to do all
the leading, Johnson merely blocking his
blows and sending back no exchanges. The
altitude Is bothering Kaufman considerably
and Johnson's easy breathing and perfect
condition are sharply noticeable beside his
sparring partner's gasping work.
Johssos Hklpi Menahaa.
aaonahan came next and Johnson went
after him with playful force In the first
of their four-round battle. Blood dripped
from Monahan s nose and lips In less than
a minute. Johnson shot In two straight
left with flashing speed and with definite
precision. Then he took things easy and
Joked with Moimhan and tha crowd about
the ring as they tussled with each other.
Two rounds with Dave Mills followed and
this concluded the day's work.
In all the boxing Johubon did not exert
himself. Ills breath was unhurried when
It was all over a .id the perspiration waa
gathering on his whole body In a natural
way. The actual boxing was apparently
more of a concession to the curiosity of the
crowd than anything else, it was Just play
for Jack and he siiowed that he was per
fectly satisfied with his skill In this de
partment of the game by every move he
made
John It. Sullivan, undefeated Ixmdon
prize ring champion, watched Johnson
work. He stood on a rock far back of the
crowd at the ringside and looked on. The
playful side of the exhibition evidently
d:d not appeal strongly to the old warrior,
as he rumbled summing about seeing the
real business next Monday."
Tralalair AUoat Over.
? present Intentions are carried out at
o Jeffries' camp Thursday - will see the
""l of the former champion's training.
When he pulls the six-ounce gloves from
his lands on that day and has had his
parting t issle with the shadows the "hope
of the wli.to race", will have completed a
fall year of training for hla encounter with
Johnson.
At least to his own satisfaction Jeffries
ha answered the question of -whether he
could "come bacic" on the rubbing table
this mornu.g after eleven hard, fast rounds
at boxing and two rounds of pulling and
haullrg with Farmer Burns, he said:
"When my brother John arrived a few
minute ago and asked me how I felt, I teld
him that I was never In better condition to
f.ght in my life. I told him the truth.
I feel better now than ever on the eve of
a fight before my retirement, and I will be
prepared for any kind of going. From
now an until Thursday, when probably I
will wind up the work. I will give lay at
tention to boxing with just a little bit of
sprinting tn the evenings. After that It
will be solid rest and the drying out
wccen.-
Jeffries' encounters with Corbett, Berger,
Choynski and Bob Armstrong early today
were, his first boxing bout since coming
to Reno. He was out of bed before J
o'clock end had given hla sparring partners
orders to prepare for the workout.
Choynaki. Berger and Armstrong faced
aim for three rounds each and Corbett took
by the assembled throng, sang several
patriotic airs. George E. Aldrlch, as
chairman of the finance committee, pre
sided and the dedicatory services proper
were conducted according to tha ritual of
the Grand Army of the Republic About
thirty members of Company O, Nebraska
National Guard, of Geneva, were present In
full equipment and served as a guard of
honor.
The presentation speech wss made by
Hon. Charles H. Sloan of Geneva, who de
livered one of the moat eloquent addresses
ever given tn Fairmont. His expressions
met with repeated hearty applause.
After recounting most eloquently the Ad
vance of the race, the progress of the war
and its results. Mr. Sloan concluded:
At the dedication of the great Washington
monument. Kossuth, tne Hungarian pa
triot, told this story: "An eminent archi
tect, having planned and supervised the
construction of a colassal cathedral, which
waa the crowning work of his great career,
asked to be buried in Its shadow. Ha fur
ther requested that no monument be erected
to his memory, but at the entrance to the
great building there should be inscribed
this legend above his name: 'You seek my
mounment- Lok around.' "
Members of the Grand Army of the Re
public, those who would seek your monu
ment, should look around to the govern
ment you saved, the stupendous achieve
ments of that government In the progress
of tha world, in this you have built your
own monument.
Shakespeare said: "If a man does not
erect tn this age his own tomb 'ere he dies
he shall live no. longer In memory man tne
bell toils and the widow weeps. lrue.
you have erected your own monument, but
a grateful people are contradicting the pes
simistic sentiment or the English bard.
This Is a period tn monument building
Columns of marble, shafts of granite and
statues of bronze are being erected all over
tne land to commemorate the departed
soldiers of the republic This Is especially
true in the great west In Nebraska, the
soldiers' state. There la ample and fitting
reason for remembering here the sainted
dead, because the west, of which Nebraska
In a part, has come Into Its own. It pro
duces that which It needs. It haa become
its own banker. Its citizenship walks with
prouder step, a greater civic pride Is felt
by all Its representatives In capitals of na
tion and state are asserting the rights and
prerogatives of the energetlo- state of the
plains and its citizens and representatives
will hereafter iiMrOini" "wear their
rights aa royal robes, their manhood as a
crown."
For the last quarter of a century I have
known the soldiers of Webb Post. Of Its
membership the living is still the majority,
but soon It will be only the minority who
walk, while the majority shall rest. At
your country's call you stood erect, full
form and size, as that heroic figure In Im
passive bronze.
But weariness of march, bullet wound,
wasting disease, durance In prison pen. all
allies of remorseless time, have bent your
forms, bowed your heada. whitened your
hair and dimmed your eyes. Still the fires
of patriotism within your souls bum aa
brtKl. tl; aa ever. You see civic duty as
you once saw military duty, and seeing it
is to perform It. The citizens of Fairmont
and vicinity, from the promptings of our
hearts, deliver this monument to the Grand
A; my of the Republic as a concrete ex
pression of our gratitude and honor for
the soldiers living and dead. Long may
it stand to attest the virtues and principles
of the Grand Army of the Republic and
the Woman s Relief corps, for the lover,
daughter, sister, mother and wife. In the
lark rebellion days, exhibited a fortitude
unknown to the world, constant and true,
iinsusiatned by comrade's cheer or martial
music.
i.av It stand until "These poor lisping,
stammering tongues lie silent In the grave."
"L'ntll the sea shall give up Its dead" and
the divine herald shall proclaim, 'Time
wss. time Is. but time shall be no more."
Then shall fading human vision see carved
leeend In marble column effaced, granite
shaft cleft by earthquake shock, .'eat urea
or bronze obliterated by storm and change.
but the tru monument of the Grand Armv
of the Republic, self-erected, shall be the
glory, dlnnlty and po-ver of the nation,
your blood ar.d sacrifice preserved for the
common good of all mankind.
Captain ". E. Adams of Superior give
the dedication address and spoke at length
along lines of patriotism. Captain Adams'
effort here today added many to his al
ready extensive list of Fillmore county
Mends. Fairmont feels proud of the
liberality and patriotism of Its citizens and
friends who contributed to the purchase
of this handsome and durable monument
and proud of the successful manner In
which the dedication was accomplished, de
spite the rain and accompanying heary
roais.

OT3TER BAT. N. T.. June -Robert
M. La Follette. United States senator from
Wisconsin and the father of republican
"Insurgency." spent two hours yesterday
talking politics with Theodore Roosevelt.
He left Oyster Bay wearing a broad smile
Senator Elmer Barkett of Nebraska,
another out and out "Insurgent." Is coming
to Sagamore hill after Colonel Roosevelt
returns from Boston. He, loo, will talk
politics.
Representative Madison of Kansas, ir
reconcilable Insurgent and ardent defender
of Oifford Pinch ot, aa a member of the
Balllnger-Plnchot congressional Investigat
ing committee, will be at Sagamore Hill
probably lata this week. His theme will
be politics.
Within the last few days Colonel Roose
velt has talked politics with Oifford Plnchot
and hla ally, James R. Garfield.
With Senator La Follette waa O. E. Roo.
a New York lawyer, who formerly waa
his law partner. The senator was caught,
despite his efforts to travel Incognito, by
a group of newspaper men who saw the
Roosevelt automobile. Tney tackled bim
on suspicion, although nobody recognised
him, for his hat bid bis famous pompadour.
"Not a word," be said; "I am going to
Sagamore hill, but I don't want a ward
said about it."
Saallea mm Talks.
When he returned Just in time to catch
a tram for New Tork be was smiling his
most expansive, persuasive smile.
It Is all right, boys," he cried Jovially.
The colonel says I may talk with you."
The Interviewers hopped on with the
senator and rode to the next station.
"Did we talk politics?" be replied to the
first question. "We did," and he empha
sized the affirmation.
"We talked ot the legislation of the pres
ent session of congress, be continued.
"from the attitude of those members ot the
republican party whom the newspapers are
pleased to call Insurgents."
"Can you go Into details?"
"No, I prefer tbat they come from Saga
more hill. I am very much pleased with
the result of my visit with Colonel Roose
velt, very much pleased, indeed."
The senator paused for a moment, re
calling the happenings of the aftsrnoon.
Suddenly the smile left his face for the
first time and be said Impressively: "I
want to tell you that Colonel Roosevelt Is
the greatest living American," and he added
slowly and significantly, "be la In fighting
trim."
Roosevelt Iatervelw.
An hour later the colonel received the
Interviewers, who told him Just what Sena
tor La Follette said about him and their
meeting. The colonel smiled as though
he liked it.
"I think there is nothing I can add to
what the senator has said." he commented.
Speculation among Oyster Bay politicians
Is keener than ever because of today's oc
currences. One story going the rounds Is
that the Insurgents have come and seen,
but have not conquered. Yet there Is an
other group of equally positive ones who
insist that the colonel has shown clearly
by his acts that be is veering toward the
radicals.
When Coronel Roosevelt received the in
tervlewers he waa standing on the side of
the bill which slopes down from bis home.
One of a group of four thickly clustered
trees he had chopped half through.
"Wait Just a moment, please." he called.
He raised his axa and whacked at the tree
with a hard, true stroke. In another mln
ute the tree quivered and dropped pros
trate
"Great exercise, said the colonel, aa he
sat cross legged on the fallen trunk, his
axe across his knee. "It Is about th only
exercise I get out here, I have Just been
in the hay field."
The colonel said that Senator La Fol
lette and Mr. Roe were th only visitors
of the day, except for two men who had
come to consult with him about hla
western tour, which begins the last of
August. He also decided to make another
trip early in October, In which he will
speak to the Knights of Columbus of
Peoria, 111., October 13. and In Atlanta,
Oa, on "Uncle Remus" day, which he said
he thought was October 17.
Cesae West la'Aagaat.
Colonel Roosevelt was asked about the
report published today that an operation
on his throat waa to have been performed
this morning. He laughed aloud In his
boyish way, "Why, the first I heard of
It," he std. "was when Senator La Fol
lette arrived here and told me that he
read that report. I have never heard of
th doctor who. It was said, was to per
form that operation. How do such stories
about ire become current? Tou can see
tor yourself, not only ts there nothing
wrong with my throat, but that I am In
perfect physical condition."
Getting back to the La Folleete confer
ence, the colonel wished to make it clear
that he had not "summoned" Senator La
Follette. Mr. La Follette and Senator
Burkett and Representative Madison, he
said, all had wired him, asking if they
might come to Sagamore H11L
It waa so late In the morning when he
found the telegrams amid the day's grist
of mall and a ire messages that although
he telegraphed for the three Insurgents to
come, only Senator La Follette received
the reply in time to reach here today. The
others he expects soon.
As he finished this explanation the
colonel took his axe again. "On more and
I'll quit." he said.

tures, the selection is therefore made of the buildings that really
represent Omaha not those which are paid for. Other features
of Omaha than business buildings will be properly represented.
The attractions and beauty of Omaha will, for the first
time, be brought together for Omaha and Omaha only.
In order to secure copies from the first edition, firms wish
ing to secure quantities, and newsdealers are advised to place
their orders at once. For wholesale prices we will be pleased to
quote prices on lots of 100 and upward and to submit samples.
